Chapter 158 Where Did the Confidence Come From?

"Your Highness, everyone on the list of pioneers has formed a pioneering company and selected a special trading zone. They are just waiting for their hometowns to send goods over so they can start opening up trade routes."

Lin Yongqian finally breathed a sigh of relief after successfully completing the "investment promotion conference" and went to report to Qin Mo.

"Hmm! It seems I will be spending New Year's Eve overseas again this year, and you won't be able to return to Da Yuan and Lin Bo's reunion either."

"Your Highness, everything has been arranged. I can now oversee the expansion here. Your Highness may return to your post to celebrate the New Year's Eve."

Qin Mo looked at the confident Lin Yongqian, shook her head and said, "You underestimate the Southern Barbarians. Majapahit is not the kingdom of Malacca. They will definitely come back."

Wilma was the "Bubatan" of the Majapahit Coconut City region. As the highest-ranking official of Majapahit in the Coconut City region, he possessed both strategic acumen and strong convictions, and was a staunch "young and promising" figure in the Majapahit Kingdom.

A few days ago, news came from Palembang in the west that the Malacca Sultanate, founded by the Palembang prince Parameswara, had sold Temasek to a shaman named Jetaman for a staggering one hundred bolts of silk.

Although Palembang had submitted to the Majapahit Sultanate a few years ago, the old and new forces were intertwined, and it had many connections with the Malacca Sultanate. The local "Bubbatan" was not willing to cause trouble for the Malacca Sultanate, so he sent a message to Wilma, telling him to go and make some money, and then split the profits equally.

Wilmar thought for a moment and set his sights on the so-called "Taman" wizard. After all, the Malacca Sultanate had been established in Malacca for many years and was a notorious pauper with little to offer. But "Taman" was different; a hundred bolts of silk were no small matter. Silk was a hard currency that could be used as money.

Coconut City is located southeast of Temasek. In Qin Mo's previous life, this was the famous Jakarta. It was neither too far nor too close to Temasek. According to Wilma's estimate, if he sent dozens of ships to intimidate the foolish "Taman" wizard, he would definitely hand over all his wealth.

"Your Excellency Wilma, Kutapo has returned," Wilma's attendant announced as he entered.

"Hmm! Very good, how much silk did you bring back for me?"

The attendant swallowed hard and said with even greater concern, "Kutapo didn't bring back any silk. He's kneeling outside awaiting his fate."

"Um?"

Wilmar knew something was wrong. This Kutapo was not someone who would give up easily. The fact that he could make him kneel down and beg for mercy meant that Temasek's affairs were not simple.

I'm begging for a monthly pass... even just one!
