Emperor Aoki refused sternly.

In fact, everyone's minds are confused at this time.

In William's view, they put forward such generous conditions, why did the Emperor of Ming Dynasty not agree?

Emperor Tianqi is even more confused. Is this person... a fool? He actually wants to borrow money from my people's savings and then ask me to pay interest?

The key is that this person is so righteous and can say such words after drinking how much wine does he have to say.

So each other's hearts were greeting each other's minds.

William seemed very embarrassed. The emperor refused. He had no choice. Now things have obviously no room for improvement. The relationship between the Netherlands and the Ming Dynasty is bound to drop to freezing point.

Weimarang, who was standing beside him, was like a toothless tiger and had no confidence in negotiations at all.

Emperor Tianqi sneered and said repeatedly: "You have come here all the way, showing off your might and treating me as a fool. To this day, you still dare to talk nonsense here? If I hadn't for your envoys, I would have dismissed you! Now, I would have dared to ramble with me here!"

Having said that, Emperor Aoki was shocked by the storm in his heart.

Can a bank earn so much money?

Although I earn a lot of money when raiding my house, it is a one-time transaction, and I will spend it all after spending it.

But a mere small country, through lending, can make a net profit of 15 million to 30 million taels of silver a year, which is very terrible.

At least two or more Ming treasury incomes.

What is really terrible is actually the prospect.

Judging from the attitude of the Netherlands, they clearly want to enter the Ming market, believing that once they enter, their business will achieve great expansion.

This means...

Emperor Aoki almost dared not imagine it.

This obviously means that this net profit may increase significantly.

After all, the people of the Ming Dynasty were rich, and Emperor Tianqi had experienced it.

Unfortunately... these damn Dutch people actually wanted to cheat me of my money, otherwise...

At this time, William showed despair. He knew very well that he had no chance of being in the market with the Ming Dynasty.

And Emperor Tianqi was also very sorry for such a profitable business...

William decided to make his last struggle. He looked at the silent gunboat in the bay, and his mentality was still different from that of Weimarang.

Weimarang is the governor of the East India Company and serves as the director of the East India Company. The fleet is gone, and Weimarang has no way to give the East India Company an explanation.

But he is the director of the bank. The fleet is gone. What does it have to do with his bank?

This time, the East India Company suffered huge losses. Maybe it would have to borrow heavily and buy more new ships. Maybe it would also benefit the bank's business.

As a cold businessman, William can always keep his absolute calm.

You know, at this time, Britain is already eyeing the Netherlands, crazily creating warships and training sailors, hoping to completely defeat the Netherlands' maritime hegemony.

But so what? The British gave the highest interest on the treasury bonds, so will the Netherlands banks still grab British treasury bonds in the market and arm the UK?

As long as it is profitable, the bankers in the Netherlands don't care about this at all.

At this time, William calmed down and said, "Your Majesty, we are willing to give you greater discounts. As long as you want, we can provide three million taels of silver loans to your country's finances or your majesty's finances every year. As long as your Majesty is willing, our banking business is also willing to accept your Majesty's guidance."

In fact, this was a very painful thing for William. The interest-free loan of 3 million taels was actually a waste of money to the Ming Dynasty when the explosion of silver in the Americas and silver in Japan broke out.

Of course, this number is acceptable for William, because he believes that the Ming market has greater interests, and once it can enter, it will allow the entire Netherlands Bank to quickly monopolize the finances of the East and the West.

Under this huge temptation, William thought it was worth it.

The conditions offered by the other party became more and more generous. Although Emperor Aoqi felt extremely ridiculous, Emperor Aoqi still moved.

Zhang Jingyi, who was standing beside him, smiled and said, "I don't think it's necessary. My Emperor Ming is rich all over the world. How could he be with you? Today, you are here to show off your power. My Ming Dynasty has taught you some lessons. I hope you can remember it. As for your business, what does it have to do with my Ming Dynasty?"

William already knew Zhang Jingyi's weight at this time.

When the favorite minister of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty proposed these, it was very obvious that the other party would not give him any chance.

He sighed and said, "Well, although I still hope that we can strengthen exchanges and establish a foundation for cooperation, but... Since your country is unwilling, I have to come with hope and leave with disappointment."

Then he said: "It is only from my standpoint that I feel it is necessary to give Your Majesty a small advice. In today's world, by force alone, although it has not been a temporary tyranny, the solid foundation of force is flowing gold and silver. The power of these gold and silver circulation is far more important than the victory of a war. Compared with Your Majesty's powerful empire, the Netherlands is indeed a small country, but we pursue a commercial circulation strategy, which also gives us a power that ordinary people can unimaginable. Your Majesty is unwilling to cooperate with us, and I regret it for this."

This time, of course I dare not threaten it.

However, William still expressed his sympathy, as if this was a huge loss for the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Tianqi thought this person was sarcastic and naturally disliked him. However, after thinking about it carefully, the annual income of a bank was the income of his own two or three treasury, and he couldn't help but feel discouraged.

Zhang Jingyi smiled and replied: "Of course cooperation can be done, but I, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, is extremely noble. Since I want to cooperate, it will definitely take the majority."

"Take the big shot..." William was stunned. He suddenly realized that it seemed that Zhang Jingyi did not say anything to death.

So he suddenly felt energetic and immediately said, "Is what Your Majesty wants to acquire shares in the bank?"

Although this made William a little embarrassed,... after all, this opened a hole, which suddenly made William, who thought he was going to despair, excited again.

William said tentatively: "Dare you ask...how many shares do you think are suitable?"

Zhang Jing said without thinking, "Your Majesty is doing business and likes Sanqi to open it."

"Thirty percent?" William's face suddenly turned ugly. This was the lion's mouth.

William felt very embarrassed, but couldn't help but say, "30% of the shares... This is not something that I, a director, can decide, but I think this may not be impossible to continue talking, we are willing..."

Zhang Jingyi looked Shiranian, and interrupted him with a smile: "It's you three, I'm seven."

William: “…”

Emperor Tianqi also became interested at this time, and Sanqi opened... It's so good, that's equivalent to the fact that I'm getting the pure profit of tens of millions of taels of silver for free. Zhang Qing's mind is so smart. Zhang Qing actually wanted to get such a shameless thing.

But...he likes it!

After a brief shock, William's neck suddenly turned red to his ears.

It was obvious that he felt insulted.

"This is a robber!" William said angrily.

William felt like he was fooled at this time.

I came to negotiate with the Emperor of Ming Dynasty with such great sincerity, but they were so fooling myself!

Even at this moment, William had lost his awe of the Ming Emperor. After all, the merchants talked about money, so there was nothing to be polite!

So he said with a cold face: "Since that's the case, there is no need to continue talking."

As he said that, he straightened his back, then looked cold and said sarcastically: "But you will regret it."

William still maintains a sense of superiority. In his heart, the wise rulers and ministers were like a group of fools who only knew how to show their power.

A group of people who don’t understand the way of doing business are still playing with the old prince’s tricks that mine is mine, and yours is also my tricks.

How foolish this is!

Although the losses are heavy today, William still has a sense of superiority over others.

This is because he is the Dutchman who knows how to do business the best.

On the same day, William and others were arranged to move into Tianjin Wei.

Weimarang seemed to be in a state of dismay.

William was only angry.

How could these great wise rulers and ministers have the nerve to make such rude requests?

This is a group of ridiculous idiots!

William looked deeply in his heart.

You should know that banks only need to spend a little money to support and sponsor certain countries to harass the Ming Dynasty's waters and make them anxious.

Or, the bank can provide funding to the Jiannu people who beat the Ming Dynasty to the point of being unable to raise their heads...

The thinking of businessmen is different from that of these old princes.

midnight.

Sudden……

But one person hurried to Tianjin Wei.

This person is a scholar, but at this time he came here in a hurry with a letter from Macau.

Your Majesty's actions are here, and the guards of Tianjin Guards have become tightened.

Therefore, the Jinyiwei quickly began to investigate the suspicious scholar.

Then, they found a letter from the scholar.

But... the letter is written in the text like a tadpole, and I can't understand it.

This suddenly... made the Jinyiwei immediately alert.

Eight out of ten letters that cannot be understood are written in detail.

So the scholar was immediately taken down.

The scholar shouted: "I am not doing it carefully, I am not doing it carefully, I am entrusted by someone to deliver important news, I am not doing it carefully..."

Then the news was reported layer by layer, and then the scholar was interrogated overnight.

At this time, the whole story of this incident slowly emerged.
