The Dutch Indian Company is a joint-stock company that aims to make profits. All its activities revolve around profits, including massacres, extinction of island populations, planned destruction of local production capacity, and other evil deeds. The purpose is to obtain high profits.

The company's board is in Amsterdam, so all ultimately aims to be able to exchange various goods for silver coins in European markets.

Because of the emergence of the Republic and the Nanyang Company led by Chen Jian to start trading with Europe, the interests of the Dutch Indian Company were greatly threatened.

What they monopolized was the exclusive management rights from the ends of the world to the Pacific region, including porcelain, tea, and raw silk from the Ming Empire; copper from Japan; spices from the spice archipelago, which are all the directions for the company's profit.

However, with Chen Jian's attempt to intercept the possibility of the Dutch Indian company reaching out to trade in the Ming Empire, and cheating the Dutch people in Japan again, which made the board of directors of the Dutch Indian company make corresponding changes.

The Nanyang Company is operating goods such as raw silk, copper, tea, and cotton. It is closer and cheaper for shipping. The profit of transporting these goods from the Ming Empire and India is no longer high.

As a result, if Dutch Indian companies want to make higher profits, they only have the only way to monopolize the spice trade. This is the verbal promise that Chen Jian reached with them that they will not get involved in the spice trade with Europe.

However, if you want to get cheaper spices, you can only exchange handicraft products for spices in the Spice Islands. If you buy them with precious metal silver and gold, the low profit margin will drive the board of directors crazy unless it is monopolized by force.

Under this change, the competition with British and Indian companies became even more important.

Without Chen Jian's global sailing, in order to jointly deal with Spain, the Dutch Indian company would have to compromise and cooperate with the British.

Without Chen Jian's global sailing, Chinese merchants could be expelled from Thailand and Peking University, established merchants in Japan to fight against Catholics as a means to obtain exclusive trade rights in Japan in Europe, and smuggled along the coast of Fujian to obtain raw silk porcelain by middlemen... In the form of small triangle trade, there is no need to ship a large amount of silver from the local area every year, so that it may be possible to temporarily compromise with the British because it can still make profits and not be so urgent.

But now, this history of if has changed.

Compared with silver, the Dutch are not as good as Luzon, Spain, which is rich, and Chinese businessmen cannot make 100% profit without making money and make 50% profits from the Dutch.

Comparing force, relying on supporting pirates, cutting off the trade line between Chinese merchants and Spaniards by force, increasing risk costs, so that some merchants can choose safer but lower profitable trade and Dutch transactions, and the Dutch trade with Japan again for silver... But the Dutch Indian companies can't provoke the armed groups in Wangbeicheng now, especially the armed groups in Wangbeicheng are not simply "barbarians". There are also a large number of Fujian maritime merchants who have been encircled in the company. The remaining merchants have no strength even if they want to fight against each other.

In addition, for political purposes, Morris hopes that the board of directors of the Dutch Indian company will not try to have friction with Chen Jian. There is only one way to go before the board of directors.

He could only break up with the British, monopolize the right to monopolize the spice trade, and establish a trade with Wangbei City to exchange spices for handicraft products. He was guaranteed by Chen Jianying, the Indian company that he did not reach out to fight, and placed all the company's focus on the Spice Islands, and no longer tried to open up the trade rights of the Ming Empire.

It was too difficult to obtain the trade rights of the Ming Empire. Not only did the Portuguese interfere with it, but Chen Jian had already obtained the legal trade rights, then he wanted to get involved in the affairs of the Ming Empire, that was to anger the Fujian merchant group and the forces of Wangbeicheng of the Ming Empire.

Dutch Indian companies have a desire for spice trade far more than before. As long as a monopoly can be reached, shareholders' annual dividends will still be considerable. But if the British get a share of the pie, the profit will be ridiculous.

The directors of the Indian company also knew that some goods from Nanyang Company forced their profits except spices to negative returns, and also understood that it was impossible to let Nanyang Company give up trade at this time. Some merchants in the Netherlands were already dissatisfied with the monopoly of the Dutch Indian company. At this time, another re-export trade line appeared, and even the country could not allow trade with the Chinese Republic.

For this reason, what this part of the ruling class in the Netherlands hopes for Chen Jian to promise is obvious.

The first is to recognize the unequal treaty that has been criticized and attacked as an equal treaty in the new world system, that is, the legality of the treaty is only on paper, and does not consider whether there is conspiracy or threat of force in the process of signing. Moreover, the party that signs the treaty is the sovereignty of the state, not the private rights of the monarch and the prince. Any individual and group that inherits sovereignty must abide by the previous treaty, otherwise the "civilized states" will not recognize the legitimacy of the continuation of this regime.

The concept of the second territorial sea has been expanded to colonies and areas where the treaties were signed. It does not recognize the concept of high seas proposed by British philosophers and jurists. It is hoped that Chen Jian will exert influence in the Chinese Republic and let the Republic speak out to recognize the contribution of the Netherlands in the European Pope world system against the Meridian European Pope, thereby obtaining the rationality of monopoly trade in the Spice Islands colonies. We, the Netherlands, have made efforts, so we hope to gain status in the new world order, and hope that you can recognize our contribution. After all, there is no contribution and no privilege.

Third, in the Spice Islands, I hope Chen Jian will not interfere with the conflict between the British-Dutch and Indian companies. The Dutch Indian company will give up the trade rights between Japan and the Ming Empire in return, but I also ask Chen Jian not to get involved in the spice trade. The Dutch Indian company hopes to take the lead in carrying out trade in handicraft products for spices in the Dutch-controlled areas of the Spice Islands.

The fourth is the most critical point. I hope Chen Jian will come forward to help the Dutch Indian company organize a group of Chinese to immigrate to the Dutch-controlled colonies. In order to allow the Dutch to reach a check and balance between the Chinese and local indigenous peoples, transfer the conflicts and struggle directions between local indigenous peoples, and facilitate control of the spice archipelago and the class that creates conflicts. It is difficult to control a single ethnic group. It can only support the privileged class to rule by class, and it is difficult to transfer conflicts. However, if there are third-party ethnic groups participating, it is easy to transfer class contradictions into ethnic conflicts. The most important reason is that the local princes and princes in the Spice archipelago have too little connotation and cultural depth, and it is difficult to support a group of second-class citizens divided by class.

These four points are the interests of the board of directors of the Dutch Indian company. The first two are nominal and the latter two are actual interests.

If the names of the first two can be achieved, it means that the Chinese Republic has acquiesced the Netherlands' privileges in the colonies, and the British demands are unreasonable, thus allowing the Chinese Republic to stand on the side of the Netherlands at least in overseas trade. Otherwise, it would be a slap in the face and lose the legal rationality of becoming the initiator of the world order.

It can be seen that although the Netherlands is not a real country, when it involves all aspects of interests, the ruling class can still reach certain consistency in the general direction.

For those bourgeoisie in the ruling class who are excluded from the monopoly of trade in Indian companies and mainly engaged in European re-export trade, their demands are simpler.

The Netherlands' capital flowed into the commercial direction in large quantities, and industrial and handicraft capital cannot be compared with commercial capital and is simply difficult to develop.

As the low-level area that has been most affected by the price revolution, the labor costs in the Netherlands are higher than those in other countries when monetary wages are mainly used.

Since the same capital invested in commerce, navigation, and even loan interest can obtain higher returns than handicrafts, capital naturally flows to these places spontaneously and escapes from handicrafts.

The two reality of the rise in monetary wages and the spontaneous pursuit of profits by capital have led to the representative of the bourgeoisie in the Netherlands being the commercial bourgeoisie, which is the most unlimited. Talking about a super-class motherland with them is more ridiculous than playing the piano against a cow, not to mention that the Netherlands is fashionable and has not yet become a real nation.

These represent the interests of the sub-level bourgeoisie in the Netherlands. They benefited from the Nanyang company's export trade being re-exported in Europe. Therefore, they hope that the Netherlands will reduce import tariffs and squeeze out their own handicrafts, thereby obtaining higher profits and also obtaining higher profits during re-export trade.

At the same time, they hope that the Republic of China can open up external investment so that the Dutch can invest in industrial investment in Fujian and other places, and take advantage of the advantages that the silver price revolution in China has not yet occurred to obtain higher profits than domestic handicraft investment. It is not profitable to invest in handicrafts or industry in China, but investing in factory handicrafts in Fujian is greatly profitable.

The same silver coin has the same interest income from lending in Amsterdam and in Fujian. However, the same silver coin has different prices, grain output, and land cultivation methods, and the labor force that can be purchased is different.

When the profits of investing in factories and handicrafts in Mincheng are higher than those of lending in Europe, these originally lending capitals may become industrial capital in Mincheng, as long as Mincheng maintains stability and provides clear policies.

The only thing this class is angry with Chen Jian or Nanyang Company and the Republic of China is that it monopolized trade with the Spanish colonies and participated in some slave trades, which made the dream of setting up "Western" Indian companies and slave traders who were dissatisfied with Indian companies in the Netherlands.

There are also several corpses of Dutch pirates hanging in the port of Youyou. It is not easy to be a pirate. In the European Netherlands, there must be a maritime advantage, but it is impossible to fight the Anti-Piracy Convention signed by China and Spain.

If we want to cut off trade between the Republic of China and the Netherlands to threaten this, not to mention whether the bourgeoisie in the Netherlands agrees or whether the proposer will hang himself in The Hague, even if we decide that the British side will be gongs and drums and run to Fujian City to kneel down and lick it.

Similarly, in Minjun, the large amount of profits obtained by the Mo Party’s party and some of Chen Jian’s monopoly factories were invested overseas, Wangbei City and Dahuang City, which are meaningful, but cannot enter the world market for the time being. This also led to the fact that the capital of Minjun wanted to freely flow to high-profit factories and handicrafts was not too sufficient, let alone infrastructure, so Chen Jian wanted to come to the capital to move south.

Even if the Dutch do not participate in investment in factory handicrafts, but when the profit is higher than interest, some people in Minjun will consider borrowing to develop the factory industry, and of course they will also hope to borrow money from the Dutch. As long as the surplus value can be higher than interest, this is an inevitable trend.

In other words, whether the Dutch invested in industry or not, it would inevitably lead to Dutch capital moving towards this side. There is only so much capital, business accounts for a part, monopoly companies accounts for a part, and Fujian County has borrowing demand and broad prospects.

In Asia, Chen Jian cut off the axis of small triangle trade for spices. Amsterdam's company directors must take out enough precious metals to ship them to Asia to purchase goods, instead of relying on regional trade to barter to save these precious metals investments.

In this way, some capital that should have flowed to other countries and regions may die.
