The moment Marin saw Prince John, she had an idea in her heart. After seeing that Prince John did not show greedy expression, he made up his mind directly.
Previously, Marin had been worried that the Spanish kings did not believe that he had discovered India and brought back a large amount of spices, and also planned to bring a boat of spices to prove it. However, now that Prince John happened to come to the Canary Islands, some princes endorsed it, and they could not believe it.
Then, Marin took the prince to the Columbus fleet to visit. Seeing the mountain of spices, the prince's mouth could not be closed for a long time ...
Of course, Marin didn't let Prince John see it for nothing. In order for the prince to speak for himself, he decided to give the prince a favor:
"John, I'll give you the 100,000 pounds of spices for your agency sales, are you confident?" Marin's approach is to give some of the spices to the prince for sale, and let it profit some profits.
这个 "This ... I ... I have no experience selling spices ..." Prince John was still too young to see the great benefits. For another savvy person, I'm afraid I can't wait to promise it.
"What's wrong with you? Prince Wang, just find a few big businessmen to sell it for you, and they dare to refuse? Besides, Princess Margaret grew up in the Netherlands when she was a child. She must understand business. Point. "Princess Margaret and Prince Philip grew up in Gent, the city of industry and commerce, and are no strangers to business.
"Right……"
"Oh, now the price of spices in Europe is 10 shillings per pound, I will give you 7 shillings per pound to ensure you make a lot of money ..." Now in Europe and Southern Europe, because of the proximity to Venice, the price of spices is 10 Shillings around. In northern Europe and other places, the price is even higher.
"What's the difference of 3 shillings per pound ..." The prince did the calculations and found that he had a shock of 300,000 shillings to make a difference. Of course, you also have to invest in costs. But even with a profit of 200,000 shillings, there are enough 40,000 coins to earn ...
Although Prince Wang is simple, he is not stupid. With such a good opportunity, of course he will not let go. So he nodded heavily, and smiled at the benefits Marin gave him ...
关系 The relationship between the two sides was just fine, and Marin sent money intentionally, which naturally became closer.
After Columbus and others rested in Las Palmas for two days, Marin also set off and decided to go to Spain. Prince John returned with them and arranged to receive Marin's 100,000 pounds of spices.
Along the way, Marin told his thoughts to the prince and surprised the prince:
"Marin, do you mean to give this benefit to Spain? Did you know that the Spanish royal family has not earned 1 million gold coins in a year ..." These years, only in a rich country like Venice, fiscal revenue will be almost 2 million gold coins. In other countries, even a superpower like France, the annual fiscal revenue is not like millions of coins. No other big country has reached this level. Stronger than Spain, Aragon and Castilla together, they only look like 900,000 gold coins, and have to pay for the support of a huge army and bureaucracy.
"I ca n't help it. John, you can see that the spice trade is so profitable. How can the Portuguese allow me to continue to participate in it. I can guarantee that if they knew I existed next time, they might send troops to intercept me. ferry!"
"But ... if Spain were to do it, the Portuguese would be unhappy ..."
"Are you stupid? John! Huge profits above one million gold coins, what about Portugal's opposition? Is Spain afraid of Portugal?"
"But we are indeed not their opponents at sea ..."
"You won't put pressure on the Portuguese on land? The Portuguese Army is a scum. You just need to send an army and make a gesture to surround Lisbon and see if he dares to oppose it ..."
"This is okay?" The prince was dumbfounded. Obviously, he had not heard of the story of "Wei Wei rescue Zhao" in ancient China.
After Ma Marin told him the story of "Wei Wei rescue Zhao", the prince was relieved ...
Although he is relatively simple, he is not stupid. In the face of the benefits of more than one million gold coins (Spain can make it bigger), the prince certainly wants it.
As a result, before arriving in Spain, Prince John had accepted the idea of pounding Marin's hot pot under the bombing of Marin's point of view. Moreover, this pot is back, although there is trouble in the upper body, but the profit is even more exciting to any European monarch ...
After arriving in Spain, Marin unloaded the 100,000 pounds of spices promised to the prince in Cadiz, then Columbus's fleet led by Draka and several other captains and returned to East Friesland, while Marin brought With Columbus, I went to the Spanish capital Toledo with the prince ...
"Father, mother, lend me money!" When the prince returned to the palace, he found the two Spanish kings who were chatting and shouted for money. He wanted this money to pay 100,000 pounds of spices Marin gave him ~ www.novelhall.com ~ for money? John, didn't I ask you to inspect the Canary Islands? Why are you suddenly borrowing money? Did something go wrong? Ferdinand II reprimanded his face.
"No, no, I want 140,000 Ducat, and I buy 100,000 pounds of spices!"
"140,000 Ducat? Can you buy 100,000 pounds of spices? John, have you been cheated? 100,000 pounds of spices should be worth 200,000 Ducats?" In Europe, Venice Ducat is a universal gold coin, so Spain People use this too.
"No, this was Marin sold to me at a low price, so I can make money with it!" Then, Prince John said that he and Marin waited until the Columbus fleet, and explained that Columbus took the lead in discovering India and Buy back a lot of spices. The two kings who felt the matter were hurried to meet Marin and Columbus ...
"Have two sires!" Marin and Columbus saluted.
"Are you Columbus?" The Spanish Kings looked curiously at Columbus with Zorro's mask.
Columbus took off his mask, revealing the scratched face, but through the outline, the two kings still recognized Columbus who had served them ...
对 "By the way, Count Marin, you and John said you would give us drawings of the Indian route. Why is this?"
His Majesty, "India's trade, the profits are really scary. Those with small arms and calves cannot afford such huge profits!"
"Is there too much money?" Isabella I was interested.
"It's not too much, but I'm afraid that I have money to spend ..." Marin smiled bitterly.
"how to say?"
"The minister sent four ships to India this time, and brought the capital of more than 20,000 gold coins. But do your two lords know? This time, the minister can earn millions of gold coins!"
Uh ...
