Rebirth of the Four Seas Emperor

Yao Yingzhe pondered Hou Yao's proposal for a long time, and finally felt that the first plan was too conservative, but the third plan was too radical and a bit risky.

Finally, we chose the second option and decided to invest in the emerging soap industry.

"My family is willing to invest [-] yuan in capital, but I wonder what percentage of the income from the soap industry it can account for?"

I have to say that Yao Yingzhe's vision is really very vicious, and he didn't choose Liuli but soap.

"Brother Yao chose soap? This is a new thing, so you are not afraid of losing one hundred thousand silver dollars? Do you want to stop thinking about it? Liuli has a lot of benefits."

Hou Yao had a smile on his face, tempting him like the big bad wolf tempting Little Red Riding Hood.

Yao Yingzhe shook his head and said with an extremely firm expression:

"I finally bought one in the past two days and used it to wash twice. I found that I might never be able to live without it again.

Although it is not expensive for the time being, for such a good thing, I believe that its price will become astronomical sooner or later. "

Hou Yao laughed and said:

"Brother Yao, who knows me well, to be honest, if you choose Liuli, I can give you [-]-[-]% of the shares for [-] yuan.

But for this soap industry, I really can’t give you so much. It’s even difficult to give [-]%, so I’ll give you [-]%.

This [-]% can at least cover the income of your two salt farms, but this industry has just been established, and the real sales will not be until next year. "

Yao Yingzhe's eyebrows twitched slightly. Although Hou Yao was very confident in what he said, [-]% was too low.

In his mind, he could still get [-]% to [-]% of a hundred thousand.

He has been in Bao'an County for some time and has conducted a comprehensive and detailed investigation into Hou Yao's various industries.

The soap industry is one of Hou Yao's new industries. He is very optimistic that soap will become a luxury product that the nobles of Great Xia will compete for in the future.

So he was willing to invest [-] shares, but he didn't expect that Hou Yao would only give [-]% profit, which was really beyond his expectation.

"It doesn't matter, next year will be next year. I absolutely believe in Brother Hou's ability to make money, by the way..."

Having said this, his conversation suddenly changed:

"Brother Hou, do you know something?"

"What's the matter?"

"Recently, there is a group of pirates in the South China Sea who have been extremely active, called the Haima Gang, and their leader is Captain Tiegou.

This person is going around conquering small and medium-sized pirate gangs. Nearly half of the small gangs in the South China Sea have been annexed by them. My father is preparing to send troops to conquer them.

However, the third leader of this gang, Liang Xiong, nicknamed One-Eyed Jiao, was originally supposed to be the second-in-command of the Squid Gang, a small gang in the South China Sea.

The leader of the Squid Gang, Yu Tianhui, we only recently learned that he was dead. He had a daughter named Yu Xiuer, nicknamed Black Girl, who had good skills.

One of my men who knew this girl saw that she often appeared in the county government office, and she seemed to be very close to the adults.

This one-eyed dragon changed from the second leader of the Squid Gang to the third leader of the Seahorse Gang. There must be some grudges involved.

I wonder if Brother Hou needs us to catch the person and hand it over to Miss Yu Xiuer to deal with it? "

Hou Yao really wanted to give himself a big mouth. He really didn't expect that he had created such a big loophole here without knowing it.

Yao Yingzhe had clearly guessed that he might be behind the Haima Gang, but there was no evidence.

Saying it openly now is both a temptation and a warning.

In other words, if he doesn't answer well, he will actually send troops when he returns.

There are many people on Heiyu Island now, but they lack weapons.

With the current strength of Heiyu Island, it will definitely not be able to withstand the South China Sea Navy.

The reason why the South China Sea pirate gangs are not on the scene is because they are poor and have no money to buy firearms and equipment.

Water warfare requires the most equipment. With a good boat and advanced weapons, you can basically crush your opponent.

Hou Yao has spent all his money on the development of various industries in Bao'an County. Where can he still have the money to buy weapons for the Squid Gang?

Besides, Heiyu Island was originally a target. It was hit by the South China Sea Navy, and it didn't do anything.

But now they would be in trouble if they targeted the one-eyed dragon.

Others are fine, but if something happens to the one-eyed dragon, Yu Xiuer has to find someone to fight for it.

Growing up, One-Eyed Jiao was much kinder to her than her father, and the relationship between the two was closer.

Her ability to be a gang leader has a lot to do with the strong support of the one-eyed dragon.

A large part of the reason why she stayed in the Squid Gang was to take care of the One-eyed Jiao in his later years.

So no matter what, the one-eyed dragon must be protected.

He only saved the one-eyed dragon, but the relationship between Heiyu Island and him might not be hidden from Yao Yingzhe.

Hou Yao lamented in his heart that Yao Yingzhe was really too smart and it was too difficult to hide it from him.

He will find out sooner or later anyway, so let's just make it clear. This kid's family is not a good person anyway, so it's a big deal to spend more money.

"Haha...haha, what Brother Yao said, I thought about it carefully just now. [-]% is indeed inappropriate.

Let's see, the Yao family can only get [-]%, and it really can't be any more. Let me tell Brother Yao today that soap is just a low-end product, and the real money maker is called soap.

After washing, the skin will be fragrant all day long. Any woman who uses it will never be able to live without it in her life.

It’s just that if this product wants to expand the national market, it must enter the capital. Therefore, I must set aside more molecular profits for the noble people who can make the product gain a foothold in the capital.

[-]% is already the bottom line that can be given. "

Yao Yingzhe looked at Hou Yao in surprise. To be honest, he never thought that he would have a deep relationship with Heiyu Island.

Even if Yu Xiuer is the daughter of the former pirate leader, he is very clear about the habits of pirates, and no one pays attention to the life and death of women at all.

The identity of the one-eyed dragon was exposed, which only made him suspect that there was some shady deal between the two.

After all, it is common in coastal cities for officials to have dealings with pirates.

Whether it is smuggling to make money, selling stolen goods, or helping to do some dirty work, collusion between officials and gangsters is an inevitable choice.

In fact, it is impossible for pirate gangs that do not collude with officials to become big.

For example, among the four kings of the sea, none of them had any dealings with the big shots in the court.

In his opinion, Hou Yao and Heiyu Island were probably just colluding to make money.

But what Hou Yao means now is basically saying, Heiyu Island belongs to me, you can't touch it, otherwise you will fall out.

This really confused Yao Yingzhe. He was willing to give out [-]% of the profits to protect a group of pirates.

It can only show that the relationship between Hou Yao and these pirates is far beyond his imagination.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Yao Yingzhe's mind, and all the clues formed a thread in his mind.

Then he pointed at Hou Yao with a look of surprise and panic and exclaimed:

"It's you... you're the one who wiped out the Kaiba Gang. It's you who secretly..., God... why am I so stupid... you, you..."

After thinking about all this, Yao Yingzhe pointed at Hou Yao and gritted his teeth. He simply didn't know how to express his inner shock.

Hou Yao just smiled lightly and said:

"Brother Yingzhe, don't be so surprised. I have no choice but to make a lot of money together in the future. So, maybe you understand?"

Yao Yingzhe instantly felt like a deflated rubber ball and sat back on the stool with a wry smile:

"Brother Hou deceived me so hard. In order to track them down in the past six months, I spent half of the time floating at sea.

Alas, so our things are also in your hands? "

Hou Yao took out the jade flute, put it on the table and pushed it gently.

"Now return to the original owner."

Yao Yingzhe shook his head:

"This thing is no longer useful to us now. Since Brother Hou has it, just keep it for yourself."

Hou Yao looked strange and said:

"Aren't you looking for treasure? Why don't you want it again?"

"Who would place their hopes on something as illusory as a treasure? We only want this thing to mobilize the four sea kings.

The jade flute is just a tangible wealth to others, but the people who really need it are the Four Sea Kings.

Legend has it that when Neptune disappeared mysteriously, he took the "Kunpeng Flagship" with him.

Therefore, many people are suspecting that the 'Kunpeng Flagship' may also be in the treasure. If you get the 'Kunpeng Flagship', you can command the world.

The four sea kings have been fighting for the position of the new sea king for so many years. Who wouldn't want to get the 'Kunpeng Flagship'? "

"Didn't you say that the Emperor of the Sea was arrested by the imperial court? Or it was the current emperor who took action."

Yao Yingzhe said with disdain:

"Can you believe this kind of market rumor? Poseidon reached a cooperation with the imperial court back then. Not many people know the specific content.

Afterwards, the Emperor of the Sea disappeared with the court's [-] troops and the elite main force of the Kunpeng fleet.

In short, this matter is an unsolved case, and I am afraid that only the current emperor knows some of the inside information. "

"Then what happened when the imperial court destroyed the 'Kunpeng Fleet'?"

"That was what happened after Poseidon disappeared. Poseidon disappeared with all the main elites of the 'Kunpeng Fleet'.

After confirming the news, the current emperor asked Lin Lihui to launch a sneak attack, and the troops guarding the 'Kunpeng Fleet' on Shuangyu Island were defeated.

I heard that at the time of the sneak attack, the four captains left behind by the 'Kunpeng Fleet' were still in civil strife, and were dispersed without any decent resistance.

The four captains are now the four kings of the sea. "

"So if the main force of the 'Kunpeng Fleet' is there, wouldn't it be ridiculously powerful?"

"That's natural. How can the Poseidon be called so easily?"

"Then why doesn't Wang Zhi directly rebel?"

"This is different. No matter how strong the naval force is, it relies on strong ships and powerful guns. It is still far inferior to actually going ashore to fight against the army.

What's more, there are only a few sailors. At its peak, the "Kunpeng Fleet" only had a force of [-] troops. "

Hou Yao thought about it and waved the jade flute in front of Yao Yingzhe:

"If you really don't want me, just put it away."

Yao Yingzhe waved his hand, then looked at Hou Yao seriously and said:

"My family's ambition is not at sea, this thing is of no use to us."

This is also a kind of confession.

Hou Yao didn't make any response, but this was actually the best response, which showed that he didn't care about it.

Then Yao Yingzhe changed the subject:

"It is said that the Emperor of the Sea conducted a comprehensive exploration of the world's seas back then, and he discovered an astonishing secret..."

Hou Yao interjected:

"Is the earth round?"

Yao Yingzhe looked shocked, then said with relief:

"I didn't expect that Brother Hou even knew this. The Emperor of the Sea did say that the earth is round, and then he also made a world map.

All continents, islands, coastal cities and supply points in the world have been clearly marked.

This chart is also hidden in the treasure. If you get this chart, you can sail the world. Is Brother Hou interested? "

Hou Yao laughed loudly:

"I can sail around the world without a chart...".
