Soon, in some remote house on the island.

The maid came in and saluted Bei Batian.

Bei Batian was listening to Thirteen Hu whispering something, then looked up at the maid and asked, "The imperial envoy answered so quickly?"

The maid said, "He refused to answer the paper, and only spoke verbally about the East India Company."

"Let's just listen."

The maid said: "The so-called East India Company is essentially a business, but it is different from a business. Its biggest innovation is that the stocks it issues protect the interests of all partners. In history, the most difficult thing in doing business in partnership is to divide the accounts, and even brothers will inevitably get separated. Stocks are the mechanism to solve the sharing of accounts."

The maid paused and said, "The most difficult thing in the world is to divide the accounts, but for business, the best thing in the world is to divide the accounts. Because as long as the accounts can be settled, whoever pays the money can get the benefits, and the old man will be free! In this way, there will be a huge benefit. As long as people have no doubts, they will make efforts to run the company and run the company. The more manpower and material resources the company absorbs, the more profits it will naturally get. Now, the Ming Dynasty court

I also wanted to give it a try, so that Zhao'an, the heroes in our sea will join hands to invest and pay dividends! This time, called Zhaofu, is actually a joint stock transaction. The brothers in the sea go out to ship and strength. His Majesty promised to allow the big ship to dock and buy specialties nearby, which solved the problem of sales and procurement. Then, everyone divided the shares based on the funds and manpower and material resources, and earned money together. As for what else... they didn't have much thought."

Bei Batian heard it very seriously and finally said in surprise: "It seems... Ming court is sincere."

Thirteen tigers couldn't help but say, "How can we see it?"

Bei Batian frowned and said, "What I have always been most worried about is that the imperial envoy arrived on the island, moved us to understand the truth, and said something like loyalty and righteousness. If he said this, he would inevitably doubt their intentions. Now they spread their words, it can be seen that the Ming court has planned this matter for a long time. They also have a very thorough understanding of the Dutch East India Company, and this is definitely not something that can be done overnight."

After saying that, Bei Batian said, "I am not worried about anything, but the only thing I worry about is that the Ming court only talks about justice but not profit. Great righteousness cannot last long. Wang Zhi was fooled at the beginning! He had a large fleet, so he believed that as long as he was loyal and the Ming court knew his loyalty, he would accept him. But the final result was death and the clan was destroyed."

"But for me, if we only reiterate this... we will inevitably repeat Wang Zhi's mistake. We can combine profits differently. As long as the Ming court can realize the huge benefits in the vast ocean, we cannot do without us. We need our ships and those of us who have been wandering on the sea for many years! Otherwise, will we rely on those who have not been in the sea for hundreds of years on land? As long as this interest is still there, our lives will be worry-free."

Thirteen Hu nodded and said, "In this way, let's negotiate with this envoy Zhang."

Bei Batian smiled and said, "I just heard about your actions and the imperial envoy, which made me interested in this life. It seems that the emperor of the Ming court is not stupid, and there are also capable people around me. This person is called Zhang Jingyi..."

“That’s right.”

Bei Batian nodded and said, "Okay, the imperial envoy means to do its best. I have given all the sincerity I should have. If I wait to take it again, I will have no eyes. Later, I will send a few more women to serve this imperial envoy Zhang..."

"I think he doesn't seem to be interested in women. When I was in Tianjin Wei... I drank with him, and there were women around him, but he sat upright..."

"Idiot." Bei Batian glared at him, "When you are by your side, he must be serious. It is hard to say when there is no one around. In short, you must treat it with all your heart and wait for some time before you can negotiate the matter."

"Living some life?" Thirteen Hu said in surprise: "Didn't the adoptive father say that the agreement has been settled?"

Bei Batian said lightly: "The negotiation is completed, but if you surrender, you can't go empty-handed. Otherwise, it will seem that our etiquette has not been fulfilled. Since we know the other party's sincerity, we should have sincerity. Otherwise, we will not know that the sky is high and the earth is thick. We have to wait for the two big gifts I have prepared before talking about it."

Thirteen tigers nodded.

Then, Bei Batian laughed: "Let's go and see this envoy Zhang Qin."

…………

Zhang Jingyi was sitting in the spacious and comfortable tea room at this time, and almost forgot that this was the pirate's nest.

The place where he was led was on the top of the island.

Here is a flat land that was opened up, and a brick house was built. The furnishings inside were very elegant and not as rough as pirates!

At this moment, someone smiled and said, "It's a great pleasure to have friends coming from afar..."

Zhang Jing raised her head and stood up.

I saw that this man was very thin. Although his hair had white silk, he was particularly energetic. He wore a long gown and his every move was quite imposing.

So Zhang Jing said, "Who is the one who can do it?"

"Bei Batian has seen the imperial envoy. The road is bumpy. The imperial envoy must have worked hard. The villain is really ashamed. He has missed the opportunity to meet him and is sentenced to death."

Zhang Jingyi looked calm and nodded: "Sit down and talk."

Bei Batian sat down.

When Zhang Jing looked at him, she actually felt familiar.

But I have seen it somewhere, but I don’t think so... I really can’t remember it.

Bei Batian had already sat down at this time. At the same time, two graceful maids came in from outside the door. Both of them were dressed as Japanese people, stepping in in pieces, and bowing at any time. They put on their unique Japanese makeup on their faces, which made Zhang Jingyi feel so scared.

However, if you look closely, you can feel the unique charm of the two girls.

Bei Batian looked calm and calm, and said slowly: "Zhang Qin's surname is Zhang?"

Zhang Jingyi: “…”

"Absolutely." Bei Batian smiled and said, "This question is really stupid. Is it Gong Changzhang?"

Zhang Jingyi said: "That's right."

"Where is the ancestral home?"

Zhang Jing thought to himself, I didn’t even ask you, but you asked me.

Zhang Jingyi said casually: "I don't know."

"oh?"

Zhang Jing said: "My father didn't tell me, and I was too lazy to ask."

Bei Batian smiled. He obviously knew very well that Zhang Jingyi deliberately avoided this issue.

After saying that, Zhang Jing initially talked about his plans, how to set up a company, how to ship goods first, and then raise shares.

Bei Batian said, "What I fear most when doing business is to meet bad people. In fact, there is nothing wrong with what Zhang Qin Chuang said. Since Zhang Qin Chuang is sincere, I have nothing to say. This matter...just be settled. Zhang Qin Chuang is really a hero. At a young age, he has already been granted a marquis and a prime minister. It can be seen that this person with the surname Zhang should not be underestimated."

Zhang Jingyi smiled and said, "Yes, the official envoys and deputy envoys who came this time are all surnamed Zhang. My name is Zhang Jingyi, and the deputy envoy Zhang Guangqian."

After Bei Batian smiled, he showed a disgusting expression and said lightly: "Zhang Guangqian...what is he? Is he worthy of his surname Zhang?"

Zhang Jingyi: “…”

Bei Batian immediately said with apologies: "It's really a death. No matter what, this is also the deputy envoy. The villain should not slander the imperial envoy."

Zhang Jingyi said generously: "It's okay, Zhang Guangqian is broad-minded. Even if he knows, he won't be surprised. But when will we go to Tianjin Wei?"

Bei Batian smiled and said, "It takes two days to wait."

"Wait for two days?" Zhang Jingyi couldn't wait: "Why?"

"The mission Zhang Qin will understand then." Bei Batian smiled and then changed the topic: "Okay, let's not talk about these for now, let's have tea."

Zhang Jing was suspicious. After drinking tea, the two maids served him back to his house.

As soon as he returned to his house, Wang Cheng hurried over and said excitedly: "It's amazing, Zhang Guangqian is gone."

Zhang Jing raised her eyebrows and said, "What does it mean?"

Wang Cheng said: "Anyway, it's gone, and I don't know where I went. This must have been taken away by the pirates."

After hearing this, Zhang Jing frowned: "Go and call Thirteen Tigers."

After a while, Thirteen Tigers came and respected Zhang Jingyi very much.

Zhang Jingyi sneered, "Where is my envoy?"

"Send it away." Thirteen tigers' expression was very calm.

Zhang Jing was puzzled and said, "Send it away?"

Thirteen Hu said, "This man is on the island and curses are endless. My brothers are furious. I am afraid that someone will not be able to help but make him beat him, so I sent him away in advance."

Zhang Jingyi was not easy to fool and said, "Why didn't I see a big ship leaving at the dock?"

Thirteen Hu smiled: "It was a small boat that made him leave by himself. Of course, he gave him two days of dry food."

Zhang Jing said in his heart, how could Zhang Guangqian still have life?

Zhang Jingyi sternly said: "You are so brave."

"This is what my adoptive father ordered, saying that it was the first gift you gave you. In addition, there is another gift, which will arrive soon." Thirteen Hu said: "In fact, the adoptive father has seen that Zhang Guangqian is not against you, but the imperial envoy is afraid that it is inconvenient to attack him. Since that is the case, then the adoptive father will do this. This is above the vast ocean, so how can there be any kingly law? Besides, my adoptive father is still a pirate now, and there is no Zhao'an yet. Taking advantage of Zhao'an, he can be considered as helping the imperial envoy with a small favor."

Zhang Jingyi said: "There is another big gift? What big gift?"

When Thirteen Hu heard that Zhang Jingyi's thoughts were all on the gift, he couldn't help but laugh... The deputy envoy... was sold in tacit understanding...

He settled down and said, "This gift is of great importance and will take two days to deliver it to the island. The imperial envoy will know when it arrives."
