- In addition to some land allocated to the Mohicans and Gene People on Manhattan Island, basically all the remaining land belongs to the Umbrella Company.
¡°But Zhao Hongyu owns 50% of the shares of the umbrella company, so strictly speaking, he is also the largest landlord.
After the establishment of the Umbrella Company, Zhang Tie sorted out the land under the company's name, covering 200,000 acres on Manhattan Island alone. The company also owned a gold mine, a shipyard, and several fishing boats.
But this is only a temporary amount.
Because the land near Manhattan has not yet been developed, if it is developed in the futurethe Umbrella Company will have more land.
At the same time, the second shipyard and the third shipyard are under construction.
The ship built by then will be divided into three parts, one part belongs to the empire, one part belongs to the umbrella company, and the other part will be sold to other genetic people, allowing them to compete with the European countries for maritime supremacy.
At the same time, the occupation and construction of the Great Lakes region has also been put on the agenda of the umbrella company. When mineral resources are developed there, the wealth of the umbrella company will increase again.
And Zhao Hongyu, who occupies 50% of the umbrella company, will also increase his own wealth.
Not to mention that Zhao Hongyu also controls a heaven-defying artifact.
Although the Umbrella Company still relies on Zhao Hongyu for its trade now, with the development of Zhao Hongyu and others, and the continuous emergence of genetic people with technology among the genetic people, in the future the Umbrella Company will be able to produce its own products, and the demand for space-time traders will increase. It won't be very big.
But at present, it is still too early to say this.
¡°More than a hundred female slaves in Vladimi¡¯s hands were all bought by Zhao Hongyu.
¡°What Zhao Hongyu paid was nothing more than three sets of porcelain.
And after Vladimir sold slaves and more than 300 sets of armor, he only had enough money to buy a dozen sets of porcelain from Zhao Hongyu.
For such a large ship, when it returned to the Mediterranean, it only packed a dozen sets of porcelain, which seemed a bit short to outsiders.
But Vladimir doesn¡¯t think so.
It¡¯s not how much the goods are, but how much profit it can bring.
Vladimir believes that these dozen sets of porcelain can definitely be sold for several times the price in the Mediterranean.
And when he returned from the Mediterranean, he went to Africa to continue to capture more slaves for sale. The benefits were so great that outsiders could not imagine them.
There is a shortage of slaves here, and armor can be sold for a good price. If you make it once, you can expand a sea ship.
If he can do it successfully for a few years, he can buy a piece of land and a manor in the UK and become a noble lord.
Vladimir made the other two ship owners jealous.
"It's a pity that there is no slave trading on their ship, and there is no armor for sale. What they carried on board were some crude linen clothing and some horses.
However, Zhang Tie still made a deal with them, after all, Manhattan lacked horses.
Along with this, Zhang Tie also purchased their crude linen clothes. Of course, these garbage did not cost much.
Because they didn¡¯t have enough money, they didn¡¯t buy the porcelain.
"However, they filled a warehouse with rice, so it was not a wasted trip.
Although the money earned from food is less than that of porcelain, it is still possible to earn three times the price by shipping it back.
"At worst, they can bring more money when they come next time, and they can also catch some slaves in Africa like that Vladimir.
The three ships began to replenish supplies, and the sailors rested and wandered in the port, which brought economic benefits to the shops in the port.
Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan knew that this was just the beginning.
When the trade booms, ten ships will be docked at the pier.
The reason is simple, because for merchants, this is the triangular trade voyage point with the shortest voyage and the greatest profit.
Only fools would not come.
Therefore, as these money-makers show off, more and more trading ships will definitely come, and Manhattan will become more and more prosperous by then.
The Port of Manhattan will also become more and more lively.
"Your Majesty, drive all those people living outside the city to the port. From now on, Manhattan City will be dedicated to the residence of our genetic family members, and a separate fortress city will be established here at the port."
Zhang Tie suggested.
Zhao Hongyu lowered his head and thought for a moment, feeling that this could be considered.
But he immediately thought:??The island of Manhattan.
Then he said to Zhang Tie: "What should we do about Manhattan Island? Should we use it?"
Zhang Tie shook his head when he heard this: "Manhattan Island can build a port, but it is not used to berth merchant ships. It is used to berth our warships and is a military port belonging to the empire. Moreover, our fortress on Manhattan Island will also be expanded and a fort will be built at the same time. .¡±
Build a fort?
Zhao Hongyu was a little confused.
"Your Majesty, building forts will help us guard the port and resist enemy attacks from the sea. Even if we have warships, forts still need to be built." Then Zhang Tie drew a picture of the Manhattan City Port for Zhao Hongyu, and the Manhattan Island Military Port. map between.
The distance between the two parties is four nautical miles, which is not very far.
A long and narrow strait runs through the middle, separating Manhattan Island from the city of Manhattan.
If you build forts on the island and near the suburban port, you can really keep the enemy out of the port and prevent the port from being attacked.
And if the enemy wants to attack the port, he will be attacked by the coastal forts. Because they were sailing in a long and narrow sea channel, they couldn't hide at all.
¡°In this case, if someone wants to enter the Manhattan area, they need to think carefully about it.
And as more and more merchant ships arrive in Manhattan, no one can guarantee that no one will become greedy.
Therefore, after listening to Zhang Tie¡¯s narration and explanation, Zhao Hongyu agreed to Zhang Tie¡¯s proposal to build a fort. He also promised to upgrade the virtual workshop to produce anti-sea artillery during the winter.
While the two were talking, the fishing boats that went out to sea for fishing also returned to the harbor.
The fishing boat with the five-star red flag and the logo of the umbrella company slowly docked at the pier.
The genetic people who work for the umbrella company that went out to sea to fish threw out the cable and jumped on.
Zhao Hongyu and Zhang Tie walked over and saw fish slowly piled up on their clothes.
Alas, it's really a big harvest!
The amount of fresh fish piled on the boat weighs more than a ton just by visual inspection.
This is because the boat is too small. If the boat were bigger, the number of fish we would catch would not be just this.
Cod, herring, and sardines are the three types of fish caught in the largest quantities. Occasionally, there will be one or two octopus or squid mixed in the fish pile.
"The seafood here is very rich. As long as we work hard, we will never be afraid of starving to death." Zhang Tie said to Zhao Hongyu with a smile, "But the boat is still too small. If the boat is bigger, we can go further, and the captured The fish are also more valuable, bigger, and more plentiful.¡±
Wang Shan seemed a little discouraged when he mentioned this matter.
Zhang Tie was most disappointed that the shipyard could not yet build large ships.
"Take your time, you can't eat a fat man in one bite. Pick out some fish for me, give me the squid too, and I'll change the taste tonight."
Zhao Hongyu raised his hand and patted him gently on the shoulder, comforting him and making a small request at the same time.
"Your Majesty, it's better to build a big ship. Not only to have a defensive force at sea, but also to have an extra way to make money." Wang Shan sighed helplessly and said, "If there is a big fishing boat, it can catch fish in one trip to the sea. We can get dozens of tons of seafood, and there is no need to engage in deep-sea fishing, because in this era we live in, the fish have not yet been exhausted. Basically, you can go to sea during the day and return home with a full load at night. Tell me how much it costs."
Zhao Hongyu thought for a moment after hearing this. To be fair, this is really a lot of money.
Dozens of tons of fish, if sold through the space-time trader, can cost hundreds of thousands. And because the fish in this era had not been caught in the thirsty style of later generations, they were all very big.
Therefore, a conservative estimate of hundreds of thousands is low.
This is still the price that one boat can sell for fishing. What if the umbrella company owns ten or twenty, or even more such boats?
Hiss!
Zhao Hongyu took a breath of air, he didn't dare to think about it anymore.
This is simply faster than gold.
The Atlantic Ocean is so big that a hundred ships can fit in it.
And according to your own fishing speed, even if a hundred boats fish every day, you can guarantee your profits for a hundred years.
It¡¯s a damn good deal.
But as Zhang Tie said, they don¡¯t have a big ship on hand.
well!
Zhao Hongyu could only sigh in his heart.
"Hurry up and pick out a few big fish. Your Majesty will improve the situation tonight."??. At the same time, look through it to see if there is any squid. That one should also be given to His Majesty. "
When Zhao Hongyu was lost in thought, Zhang Tie walked over and directed the geneticists to get busy.
"Zhang Tie, how did you handle these fish?"
"It's only about a ton of fish, so Zhao Hongyu can't afford to use the time and space trader."
He is also a little strange now, how Zhang Tie dealt with these fish.
Although there are no big boats now, five small boats go out to sea every day and can catch a lot of fish.
Zhang Tie chuckled when he heard this and said: "The Umbrella Company built a salt farm on Manhattan Island to dry sea salt. A large amount of sea salt is produced there. Anyway, there is too much sea salt to eat, so we use it to pickle sea fish."
They actually built a salt field!
Zhao Hongyu was overjoyed.
"Winter is coming soon, isn't it? Let's get more pickled sea fish, and we can have one more delicacy in winter, right?" Zhang Tie explained to Zhao Hongyu. "And even if we don't eat it, we can sell it to the surrounding tribes and Europeans. I've asked those Europeans, and the pickled salted fish also has a good market with them."
Well, the umbrella company sells everything now.
Now even the idea of ????salted fish has started to come up.
Zhao Hongyu really felt a bit dumbfounded when he heard this.
"But your Majesty, you don't have to worry. The sea here is not closed in winter. We can eat fresh fish. The salted fish Indians are also very interested. Anyway, it is good to have another way to make money."
Wang Shan ignored the weird-looking Zhao Hongyu, who was still chattering about his business plan.
" Zhao Hongyu, on the other hand, is thinking about the huge profits from the fishery in the future. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe and reward (this site).
