Previous page Return to Catalog Next page
- Things in Lisbon are going very smoothly.
With Zhao Hongyu¡¯s decision, Little Fatty Ed began to contact those businessmen.
According to Zhao Hongyu¡¯s idea, Ed wants to select some people with suitable identities and statuses from these people, and let them each represent the right to sell goods in the city where they are located.
The reason why Zhao Hongyu wants to do this is because he wants to use these people to establish an interest network belonging to the empire.
If anything happens, these powerful people in that city can also provide help to the empire.
For the sake of money, I think these people will definitely not refuse.
¡°All of this must be based on interests, right?
This is exactly what Zhao Hongyu planned.
Wang Shan was very in favor of this, but little fat boy Ed didn't know why.
But he will not pay attention to this matter. He always feels that if you do it according to the words of the crown prince, you will never go wrong, right?
¡°And it is also good for him personally if the goods are circulated to another city.
Therefore, little fat Ed is working very hard.
Soon, a dozen businessmen were selected, and Little Fatty Ed signed an agreement with them.
Picking up the agreement, these businessmen looked at it and were curious and confused about some of the provisions.
"Ed, it says here that the products we represent can only be sold in specific cities. What does this mean? Can't we sell to the East, or further away?"
Everyone has great doubts and confusion about this clause of the agreement.
After hearing this, Ed explained: "Gentlemen, what you signed is to represent the right to sell goods in your respective cities, and in order to prevent you from having vicious competition, there is such a clause. You must know that what you each represent Some people will also be selected for representation in other cities in the country.¡±
"This is very troublesome. I can represent all cities by myself, right?"
¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s very troublesome to do this.¡±
For a moment, these people started shouting.
"Gentlemen, don't you think that if a person makes so much money, he will be hated for no reason? You must know that the products you represent will bring you huge wealth."
Little Fatty Ed looked at everyone very seriously and said to them.
He learned these words from Wang Shan, and now he has a good response to learning and selling now.
"We are doing this to avoid causing trouble for you. You must know that too much wealth will attract the prying eyes of greedy hungry wolves, and you may even have your family ruined. This is not an alarmist statement."
Listening to Ed¡¯s words, everyone fell silent for a moment.
They are all traveling businessmen, and they have seen many such things.
Some businessmen were convicted of unwarranted charges, and then their homes were confiscated and their families were exterminated.
They are like sheep raised by nobles or churches, and will be slaughtered when they are fattened.
"That's the truth. What little fat Ed said is not wrong at all.
After seeing everyone fell silent, the little fat man continued: "Look, after agents from other cities are selected, you will have a partner in your own country who has the same interests as you. In this way, it will always be It's better than you fighting alone. If you really meet someone who wants to deal with you, your partners in another city can help you, right?"
The little fat man Ed followed the instructions, and everyone became thoughtful.
"This companion has the same interests as you. If you are persecuted, it will definitely be his turn next. Regardless of circumstances, he will stand with you to deal with those who want to seize your property, right? Compared to Although you can control huge wealth by yourself, in the eyes of some people, you are much more powerful than a sheep."
Not only does it sound reasonable to these people, but even the little fat man Ed is making more sense the more he talks about it.
Yes, there is an agent in every city in a country.
So it can be said that these businessmen will form a considerable force in this country when they unite.
Therefore, if those countries want to touch these businessmen, they have to think carefully.
What's more, these businessmen are inextricably linked to the nobility, and even have aristocratic backgrounds.
¡°Haha, is this crown prince of America a genius?
? ?If these people become interested in him, it is really unimaginable what the empire's influence on the European continent will be like in the future.
But these have nothing to do with little fat Ed, he is not very concerned about this issue.
What matters to him is that he can get a few more cities to join in, and then he can make more money to support his elderly mother.
At this time, one of them nodded and said: "Yes, this is a good idea. I agree to sign this document. No matter how much money I make alone, I still have to worry about being remembered. If something goes wrong in the future, It¡¯s good to have companions to take care of you, and we can form a huge network of relationships. Maybe we can become the largest business association in the future, haha.¡±
This person¡¯s mind was spinning fast and he thought of something.
His words resonated with some people.
Soon, these people signed documents and became agents in a certain city.
Little Fatty Ed looked at them seriously and said: "Because the number of people is still too small now. When there are more people in the future, your respective countries will become business associations for the European agents of the Umbrella Company. This will not only allow all agents to meet In addition to meeting and getting to know each other, it can also bring you together."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Last point, His Highness will supply you with goods at 95% of the market price. This can be considered a benefit of being an agent."
Oh ho ho!
After hearing what little fat man Ed said, the agents suddenly became excited.
With 95% of the purchase price, it can be said that they got the profit out of thin air.
As a businessman, you can still be unhappy there.
Looking at these happy and excited businessmen, little fat man Ed also laughed.
He is not happy for these businessmen, but for himself.
There are a total of seventeen people becoming agents this time, which means that he will start training promoters to enter seventeen cities. When the products are introduced into those cities, the dividends he will receive will increase seventeen times.
So, how could the little fat man be unhappy?
¡°Oh, we need to train promoters as soon as possible. These products need to be promoted, otherwise we don¡¯t know how long it will take until ordinary people slowly accept them.
"Mr. Ed, the contract says that you will be responsible for the promotion and advertising of the products. Is this true?"
At this time, a red-haired middle-aged man walked up to Ed and asked.
Ed glanced at him and recognized that he was a businessman from Poland.
He nodded and replied: "Yes, as the product promotion department of American Umbrella Company, what we have to do is to serve agents and save you from the trouble of selling products."
It¡¯s really considerate service. We really didn¡¯t expect that the umbrella company of American Empire would be so considerate for agents. If this cooperation is successful, I think I will be an agent for all American products in the future.
The Polish businessman sighed to Ed sincerely.
And while little fat man Ed was taking care of the businessmen who wanted to become merchants, Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan were talking on the battleship.
"Wang Shan, I plan to leave Lisbon."
"Your Highness, the construction of the concession here has not been completed, and the knights of Rano and Pedro are still in training. If you just leave like this, will there be any accidents in these things?"
Seeing that Zhao Hongyu really wanted to leave Lisbon, Wang Shan couldn't help but remind him.
Zhao Hongyu shook his head: "No, you left five hundred genetic people here, and the construction of the military camp in the concession is almost completed. They can just live in it. As for the other buildings, I don't need to be there all the time." Just watch." Zhao Hongyu didn't think he would be of much use if he continued to stay here. Now many things were on track, it would be the same whether he was there or not.
"These five hundred genetic warriors can deal with many emergencies and guarantee the interests of our concession. Little Fatty Ed has almost settled the agency matter, and I don't think anything big will happen. The problem is, as long as he follows the path we set for him, there will be no deviation."
"As for Llano and Pedro, they're pretty much trained. We're not asking them to become military kings. The main thing is to teach them how to incite the people and create hatred for the Spaniards."
After Zhao Hongyu said this, Wang Shan thought about it and felt that this was really the case.
Now that many things are on the right track, in fact, there will be no use for them to stay in Lisbon.
Fat Ed is keeping an eye on the trade, and five hundred genetic people are guarding the concession. If Pedro and Lano have trouble, they can also find the genetic people for help.
??If there is a shortage of funds, Ed can withdraw funds for support, and the accounts are all managed by genetic accounting.
There will be no problem at all.
Therefore, there will be no deviation if Zhao Hongyu comes to drive.
??Besides, they have been in Lisbon for a few months and originally planned to travel around Europe. If we keep this pace, my God, even a few years won¡¯t be enough.
"The time is almost up. We still have to go to France, fish out the widows of the Samuel family, and argue with the French about the partition of Spain. At the same time, we also need to hire some Swiss and German mercenaries. , it takes time to get them to come to Lisbon and join Llano and the others, doesn¡¯t it?¡±
Zhao Hongyu said to Wang Shan.
"When we have accomplished these things, I think Lano and Pedro have done the same thing here, and then we can put up a pole and take the lead in resisting the Spaniards."
Zhao Hongyu calculated the time and expected that by the time he finished these things, Molano and Pedro would be almost done.
Wang Shan thought about it, nodded and said: "Okay, Your Highness, when will we leave?"
Zhao Hongyu said: "Three days, I still have to explain to Lano, Pedro, and Ed. You should prepare now, we will set off in three days."
After Wang Shan responded, he conveyed the order.
After the geneticists got this order, they all got busy.
¡°After Emma and Sara learned about Zhao Hongyu¡¯s plan, their reactions were also different.
Aide told Zhao Hongyu that he had wanted to leave for a long time because it was not interesting at all.
Not only was the city smelly, but the people here were also very unfriendly, so she was very happy.
Sarah is different from Emma. She is worried about the same thing as Wang Shan. She is afraid that this place will become a mess after Zhao Hongyu leaves.
After Zhao Hongyu explained to Sara, Sara felt relieved.
But at the same time, Sarah was worried about gains and losses, because she still had a big shadow in her heart about France and Queen Mary.
Moreover, she herself was not sure whether she could really rescue the widows of the Samuel family, because Queen Mary was not stupid. She knew that these hostages were in her hands, so that Sara would not act rashly.
At the same time, it also indirectly caused Zhao Hongyu to throw the rat weapon away.
"However, Zhao Hongyu has great confidence that he can pay enough benefits for Mary to let go of these useless widows.
The American goods and the carving up of the territory of the Spanish Empire would definitely make Queen Mary's heart flutter.
As long as she is not a fool or idiot, she should know what choice to make.
What¡¯s more, using a few widows to threaten Zhao Hongyu would be looking down on Zhao Hongyu too much.
He is in a relationship with Sarah, and there is nothing wrong with having a crush on her.
"But if anyone thinks that Zhao Hongyu won't do anything because of this, they are totally wrong.
"Zhao Hongyu has nothing to do with the widows of the Samuel family, so what does their life and death have to do with him.
With this method, Mary couldn't control Zhao Hongyu at all.
When the critical moment comes, Zhao Hongyu will still do what he will do, and there will be no change.
It¡¯s just that we haven¡¯t reached that step yet, and Zhao Hongyu really didn¡¯t want to make Sarah sad, so he decided to talk to Mary.
It would certainly be good if the widows could be taken away by him.
If you can¡¯t take it away, nothing will happen to Zhao Hongyu.
But Zhao Hongyu is still very optimistic. In Zhao Hongyu's view, just carving up Spain is enough to make Mary's heart beat.
You know, Spain has always been a serious concern for France.
If Spain can be solved, Mary probably won't care about a few widows, nor will she offend Zhao Hongyu because a few widows come to embarrass him.
People who engage in politics should know how to weigh the gains and losses of interests.
Know what to do to best benefit her and France.
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu was certain that he could handle the Queen Regent of France. (To be continued.
