In addition to those who want to apply for telegrams, some merchants want to run power companies. Some merchants have registered the company and are waiting for the Science and Technology Institute to authorize the patent and then pay a patent fee. The following is the specific operation.

These merchants obviously saw the development prospects in power. With the emergence of electric lights, every household will use electricity in the future, because the price of electric lights is very cheap and can be bought in more than 30 copper plates.

The amount of candles will not be so large in the future because of the electric lights.

Opening a power company will definitely make money. This is an idea that many businessmen came up with after reading the newspaper. The model of power companies is to use private funds to build power stations, and then these power stations sign power supply contracts with surrounding areas. For example, the electricity provided by a certain power company is cheaper and more stable, then an administrative region will sign a contract with this power company. As for whom to sign a contract, it depends on the opinions of the people, because they have to pay the electricity bill, they have the right to choose which power company to use.

Official power plants also need to be built, but private power plants can reduce the investment in government funds, and there will be no [***] phenomenon in operation, but will survive the fittest.

At lower electricity prices, anyone who can't drive will be swallowed up by the power companies that can drive it, and consumers can benefit from this competition.

The system of government-run is still OK at a certain stage, but if it passes a certain stage, it will always cause corruption, and the final loss will be the consumer.

...In the Nanyang region, the Spaniards and Portuguese surrendered after the passages entering East Asia were blocked.

The Shandong Navy also began to infiltrate into the Indian Ocean.

After signing the Treaty of Todd Sila with the Spaniards, the Portuguese naively drew lines on the Atlantic Ocean and divided the world into one.

America west of the Atlantic Ocean belongs to the Spanish, Africa east of the Atlantic Ocean belongs to the Portuguese.

Therefore, the Spanish were more powerful in the Americas, while the Portuguese were even stronger in Asia than the Spanish.

Although Almeida, the first Portuguese Indian Governor, created a situation in the Indian Ocean, his policies limited the activities of the Portuguese to the Indian Ocean coast. Almeida, the second Portuguese Indian Governor, changed Almeida's conservative policy and designed a grand plan to completely exclude Muslims from the transportation of spices and control 3,500 miles of the Indian Ocean.

Later, they occupied the Strait of Malacca and used Malacca as a bridgehead. They entered East Asia and made their feet in Macau. Among many Western countries, the Portuguese handled their relationship with the Ming Dynasty the best. People from other countries did not kneel when they saw the emperor. The Portuguese kneeled very simply, so the Ming Dynasty allowed them to trade in Macau.

At this time, the Portuguese Indian Governor faced the aggressive posture of the Shandong Navy and quickly came to contact the Shandong Navy, claiming that they were willing to withdraw from East Asia and continued to maintain good trade relations with the Ming Dynasty.

People have seen the strength of the Shandong Navy that this is an era when the strong hold the right to speak, and the truth is only within the range of the cannon.

In order to continue to maintain trade relations with the Ming Dynasty, the Portuguese quickly came to contact the First Fleet. Before the war ended, they were willing to reconcile.
