Han Du rolled his eyes and looked at Fu Yong.
Fu Yong quickly bowed slightly and extended his hand to introduce: "Three gentlemen, this is Yang Linqing, the owner of Juyuan, this is Wenshan, the owner of Ruifeng, and this is Badamu, the owner of Qingxiang."
"Meet the three gentlemen." When Fu Yong introduced them, the three of them stood up one after another and bowed to Han Du.
Han Du waved his hand and said, "From now on, we are all a family, so there is no need to be so polite."
"Thank you, sir." Although Han Du's words made the three of them very happy, they had not had time to adapt to this change of status, and their behavior was subconsciously respectful to Han Du and the others.
Han Du glanced at the three of them and said directly, "You should know why I came to you today, right?"
Yang Linqing leaned forward slightly, nodded, and replied with a smile: "I heard from Mr. Fu's family, but I don't know the detailed regulations."
"Then I will tell you carefully." Han Du nodded lightly.
He took a sip of tea and continued: "You must know how big this world is, right?"
"I've heard about it." Yang Linqing echoed, "Thanks to my father-in-law, I had the opportunity to buy a map of the world."
Now that you know this, it’s easy to say.
Han Du continued: "Although the Ming Dynasty is vast, it only occupies one-tenth of the world. There is still a large area of land that has not been touched."
"Although the Ming Dynasty now dominates the world, some places are too far away and completely beyond our reach. The power of the court cannot take care of these places, which leaves us with opportunities to make a fortune."
"Nanyang was such a place back then, and you should all know how much money the court and maritime merchants have made in Nanyang over the years, right?"
Who wouldn’t be interested in getting rich? These people today gather together just because they want to get rich.
"Master, there are indeed many opportunities to make a fortune in these places, but will the court agree?" Yang Linqing was a little worried. He was just a businessman and he did not dare to go against the court.
Although the imperial court cannot take care of these places now, no one knows whether the imperial court will continue to advance and occupy them in the future. If we go and cause trouble now, wouldn't it be worth the loss if we are liquidated by the court in the future?
Han Du took out the imperial edict that he had prepared long ago and said, "With the emperor's edict here, what are you afraid of?"
After saying that, he opened the imperial edict in front of everyone and allowed everyone to watch.
Fu Yong and the other five have only heard of the imperial edict in their lives and have never seen it with their own eyes. But they didn't expect to see the real imperial edict here, and it was closely related to them.
Everyone looked at him with wide eyes curiously. If they weren't worried about being rude, they would all want to step forward and pay homage.
When everyone saw the contents of the imperial edict clearly, Fu Yong couldn't help but said in a voice: "My lord, is this really the imperial edict from the late emperor?"
Han Du put away the imperial edict, nodded affirmatively, and explained: "I know you have doubts in your hearts, but this imperial edict was something I worked hard to obtain from the late emperor. And about this imperial edict, you guys You must let me rot in your stomach, and anyone who leaks it will bear the consequences!"
"Don't worry, sir, I understand the importance." Fu Yong quickly patted his chest to assure him.
"Master, please don't worry..." Others also echoed.
If this imperial edict is spread, I am afraid that even the late emperor's benevolent and kind image in the hearts of the people will be affected. Of course, it must not be leaked. But the more this happened, the more excited Fu Yong and the other five became. After all, if Duke Zhen Guo can share this secret with them, it means that he really treats them as his own people.
"What do you want to do, sir? We all listen to him." All five people expressed their absolute trust in Han Du.
Han Du smiled when he saw this scene and thought to himself that his efforts were not in vain.
"Ahem, since everyone has no doubts, let's talk about the next thing."
Everyone immediately held their breath and looked at Han Du.
In the eyes of everyone, Han Du said unhurriedly: "Everyone adds fuel to the flames. Since we want to make a big fight, we can't fight alone. I think we should join forces."
"What do you mean, sir, let's contribute money and do things together?" Fu Yong asked impatiently.
Han Du nodded slightly, "That's what I mean."
"How should we calculate the shares?" Fu Yong asked the most critical question.
The gap between the identities of these merchants and Han Du and others is too big. If they contribute money and efforts, and the three gentlemen give everything, they will have to share the dividends, then maybe??????????? ?????Afraid that no one will agree.
Han Du didn't care and explained: "Of course everyone will contribute the money together, one share for each family, one million yuan per share."
Although one million strings is a lot, Han Du's attitude shocked Fu Yong and others.
According to their thinking, if the three princes can pay half of their money, they will be satisfied. But the Duke of Zhen Guo actually kept his word and really treated them as equals.
"Young Master, you don't have to be like this. Each of the five of us will pay one million yuan. The three young masters only need to pay five hundred thousand yuan each..."
Han Du waved his hand to interrupt Fu Yong, "No, since we are going to form a partnership to establish a trading company, we must strive to be fair."
"Now, what do you think our trading firm should be called?"
"this......"
Fu Yong and the other five looked at each other, and then Fu Yong took the lead and said: "It's fine as long as you decide. We have no objections."
Han Du turned his head to look at Tang Ding and Lan Chun and asked, "What do you think?"
"It's up to you." Tang Ding looked indifferent.
Lan Chun was now thinking about how to avenge his father. He didn't care about the name at all. He nodded silently and left the decision to Han Du.
Han Du was no longer polite, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "We have eight families here in total, and with money coming from all directions, why not call it the Bafang Hui."
"Bafanghui Trading Company?" Tang Ding felt a little awkward.
"If you don't have a trading house, you'll just have the Bafanghui." Han Du shook his head.
Tang Ding clicked his tongue twice and nodded: "Okay."
Seeing that the others had no objections, Han Du clapped his hands and said, "Okay, then I declare that the Bafang Association will be established."
Everyone smiled and nodded in agreement.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the door.
Han Du frowned. Today's events cannot be leaked. What are the guards outside doing?
"What's going on outside?" Han Du yelled.
Before anyone outside could come in to report, the door was pushed open by a violent force.
Seeing the person coming, Han Du stood up and said, "Eunuch Cui, what do you mean?"
Breaking in so violently is completely disrespectful to oneself. If there is no explanation, even if he is a popular person in front of Zhu Yunye, Han Du will ask Zhu Yunye for an explanation.
Eunuch Cui was Zhu Yunye's playmate since childhood. After Zhu Yunye inherited the throne, his status also rose.
Fu Yong and others also stood up, but they did not know the identity of Eunuch Cui, so they just stood aside quietly.
Eunuch Cui stepped forward with a smile, and bowed to Han Du with his fat body: "Mr. Zhenguo misunderstood, this servant is here today on the emperor's order."
"The emperor ordered you to break in directly?" Han Du's eyes narrowed, but the anger in his heart did not dissipate.
How dare Eunuch Cui say that it was the emperor's order? Even if it was really the emperor's order, he would not dare to say it directly.
"My lord, I have misunderstood. This Zhuangzi is well guarded. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't be able to get in."
Han Du waved his hand, not wanting to quarrel with him anymore, and asked directly: "Eunuch Cui came to me despite his busy schedule, isn't it just to argue with me?"
Cui Eunuch quickly lowered his head, glanced at everyone, and said with a smile: "I heard that the father-in-law has made a big move. I have been ordered by the Queen Mother to come and have a hand in it. The father-in-law will not refuse, right?"
Han Du narrowed his eyes and looked at him, saying it was a girl, but Han Du didn't believe it. My sister stays in Renshou Palace all day without even leaving the palace gate, how can she know what I want to do?
The only possibility is that Zhu Yunye sent Eunuch Cui in the name of his sister. Zhu Yunye's news was really well-informed. He got the news just after he and others gathered here.
Han Du didn't make any secrets. He directly added a chair next to the round table and motioned for Eunuch Cui to sit down.
"Is the Emperor also interested in doing business?"
Eunuch Cui smiled and nodded slightly, indirectly acknowledging that the emperor asked him to come.
"Well, since the Emperor is interested, I will explain it to you carefully."
After listening to Han Du's words, Eunuch Cui smiled and stretched out his right hand and spread his fingers.
"I want five shares."
Han Du said nonchalantly: "Five guan is a bit much, but since it is the emperor's wish, I can make the decision and give it to you as long as you come up with 5 million guan."
Eunuch Cui shook his head vigorously, "No!"
Want shares but don’t want to pay?
Han Du laughed and said with some dissatisfaction: "What? Do you still want to make money while standing?"
If he wanted to have sex for free, Han Du would not agree even if he were the emperor.
Eunuch Cui stood up and walked to Han Du. He took out two things from his arms, one was a golden order and the other was an imperial edict.
"The emperor gave this to your father-in-law. Why don't you come and take a look at it before talking about it?"
Jin Ling had nothing to see, so Han Du directly picked up the imperial edict and opened it.
Eunuch Cui asked with a smile: "Eunuch, with these two things, can you make money standing up?"
Han Du slowly exhaled a breath and nodded heavily: "Yes!"
Eunuch Cui smiled, then retreated to the chair and sat down.
Facing the eyes of others, Han Du nodded slightly. The others immediately understood and made money this time!
"Then our Bafang Association now has a total of thirteen shares, one million yuan per share. Do you have any objections?"
Everyone looked at each other, but did not object.
Han Du nodded, "Okay, since everyone has no objections, I declare the Bafang Association to be officially established!"
After a brief announcement, Handu continued: "Now I will talk about the first goal of the Bafanghui, the Timur Empire."
