Chapter 1572 Jabildo's choice(1/2)
As a merchant of the Great Food Empire, Jaboldo has been in Chang'an City for some time.
He has even purchased a yard in the workshop city as a place to settle down.
However, he was still a little hesitant whether to live in Chang'an City in the future.
Because although he had seen the prosperity of Chang'an City during this period, he also realized the "discrimination" of the people of the Tang Dynasty towards foreigners.
Yes, it's discrimination.
I am obviously very rich, but I can call the wind and rain in many places.
But when they arrived in Chang'an City, although the people would not come to bully themselves, there was absolutely no trace of high regard in their eyes.
This made Jabolddo feel a little disappointed.
This also made him feel a little hesitant, worried about whether he would be excluded in Chang'an City in the future.
However, he was very happy and looking forward to being able to have the opportunity to see the legendary Tang Dynasty Royal Science and Technology Awards ceremony today.
Jaboldo did not waste time in Chang'an City for nothing.
In addition to wandering around, going to places like Diandude and Wuheju to eat, and hearing about stories, he also went to Xinhua Bookstore and Sanwei Bookstore to buy a lot of books to study.
He naturally knew the status of the Tang Dynasty Royal Science and Technology Award.
It is also clear what kind of existence His Highness, the current Prince of the Tang Dynasty, who is often heard in the port of Qi, is.
"Sayed, have you heard of that artillery just now?"
Although Li Kuan on the stage is already preparing to announce this year's winner list, Jaboldo's attention is no longer on it.
His mind is now full of the roar of just now.
Jabirdo, who has traveled around the world, has seen all kinds of things.
He has his own unique insights into many things.
In later generations, various capitalists were able to exert various powers on their own stage, especially in many Western countries. They were able to rule a country. This is inseparable from their own unique advantages.
People like Jaboldo have no idea whether they have knowledge or their level in all aspects.
It is not a big problem to ask him to go to Guanshishan Academy Business School to be a teacher or even teach some other content.
Therefore, Li Kuan actually attaches great importance to these Hu merchants.
They are an important window to open up the horizons of the people of the Tang Dynasty.
They are also outstanding talents in the local country.
If they can be left in the Tang Dynasty, it will be very meaningful whether it is considered from the perspective of economic development or from other aspects.
This is also an important reason why Hu merchants like Jaboldo have the opportunity to attend today's event.
Otherwise, do you think Wang Fugui and the others would dare to make decisions without authorization to send invitations to these merchants?
"Master, let alone heard of it, I didn't even dare to imagine that there was such a thing in this world.
The scene just now was like the earth shaking.
Even if the team of General Ali, the most famous in our country, will become in chaos after encountering artillery, right?"
How could Said know about something that Jaboldo had never seen before?
Obviously, Jaboldo asked Said like this, but in fact, it was not for the sake of getting any answer.
It is purely to relieve one's inner shock.
This matter is really beyond his imagination.
When he was in the King of Qi before, he had heard that the Tang Dynasty had an army that dropped oil bombs at the enemy from the sky, and said that the prince had already had more than 1,000 troops hit the army of tens of thousands of Hu people on the grassland more than ten years ago.
At that time, Jaboldo treated these things more as jokes.
Because of similar exaggerated propaganda, it is also very common in the Great Food Empire and other countries.
It was obvious that it only attacked a city with hundreds of people defending, but when it was promoted, it was a big city with tens of thousands of people defending.
As a result, the reputation of the general who led troops to fight immediately increased.
If this general has a deep background, the story behind this reputation will be even richer.
Obviously, Jaboldo also thought of the stories he heard from the King of Qi at that time.
"The Dashi Empire had some conflicts with the Tang Dynasty in the West.
Judging from the globe, the northeastern territory of the Dashi Empire is also very close to the western territory of the Tang Dynasty.
There was even some intersection between the two sides there.
At this time, the conflict between the Dashi Empire and the Tang Dynasty was almost inevitable.
The difference is whether this conflict has occurred in the past two years or in a few years.
As a businessman of the Great Food Empire, although we are not popular in China, this conflict will definitely have a certain impact on us.
I have always been a little worried about the strength of the Tang Dynasty. After all, the soldiers of the Great Food Empire have fought in the south and north over the years.
If we defect to the Tang Dynasty, then the Tang Dynasty will fail in the confrontation with the Dashi Empire.
Then our situation will become very embarrassing.
On the one hand, the people of the Tang Dynasty may be unfriendly to the cannibals in the country because of this matter.
On the other hand, after people inside Dashi know our news, they will definitely punish us.
But now seeing the cannon, my worries are much less.
With this thing, the Tang Dynasty was at least at the point where it would not fail.
If this cannon is installed on a warship, it will be even more invincible in the West.
Once dozens of warships arrived at the port of our Dashi Empire, the Dashi Navy probably wouldn't be able to fight back with all kinds of artillery fire.
Sayed, after we returned to Qiwanggang this time, we will start to transfer all our industries to the Tang Dynasty.
Some were transferred to Puluo, some were transferred to Guangzhou, and the other part was transferred to Yangzhou, and the rest was mainly placed in Chang'an City.
In this way, we can also disperse the risks."
Before he knew it, Jaboldo made the most important decision in his life.
"Master, if this is the case, then our losses will definitely be huge.
In Dashi, we have a lot of industries. If we sell it in a short time, other merchants will definitely try their best to lower the price.
By then we will lose at least tens of thousands of trump cards, or even more than one hundred thousand trump cards.”
Said is obviously quite clear about Jaboldo's industry within the Dashi Empire.
If you are so anxious to deal with these industries, you will definitely be underpriced.
“These losses can be repaid in the future.
Besides, these losses are not real losses, they are just making less money.
At this time, it is the most important thing to make our industry safer.
Besides, although I said I would go back to deal with it now, it will definitely not take a day or two to deal with it.
If we really feel that the loss is too great, let’s see if we can simply transfer these industries to merchants in Datang.
This is also a further exchange for them.
Anyway, many merchants in the Tang Dynasty are now taking risks to enter the West and the territory of the cannibalism, and some even begin to look for Africa where Kunlun slaves live.
At this time, we can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.”
Once the decision was made, Jaboldo's mood immediately calmed down.
At this time, he can also start to consider the specific handling of the matter.
"Master, I actually think Qi Wanggang and Puluozhong are more suitable for us?
There are many merchants from foreign countries, and the discrimination against foreigners by the Tang people is not so obvious."
Said was with Jaboldo for more than 20 years, so he dared to say anything to Jaboldo at that time.
"You are talking about a good idea, but although these two cities are very good and prosperous, there is no way to compare with Chang'an City.
In terms of security, the security of Chang'an City is definitely much higher than that of Qiwanggang.
Although the Tang Dynasty was very powerful, it was still too far from Qiwanggang.
If a comprehensive conflict broke out between the Great Food Empire and the Tang Dynasty, it would be difficult to predict what losses would happen to King Harbor of Qi.
We have come here from afar, isn’t we just to find a place where we can live safely in the future?”
After Jaboldo said this, Said didn't say anything more.
Because for them now, security is the first issue to consider.
Although the people of Chang'an City look down on people from foreign countries, they will not take the initiative to bully you.
Everyone’s safety issues here can still be guaranteed.
