Marcantio 'holla holla get dolla' Giustinian would like to establish a nationalized trading company, Società commerciale orientale, in order to properly procure the best form of eastern trade for the Venetian people.
The company's first mission will be one to Qing China, consisting of 5 frigates and 5 transports, carrying 10,000 ducats - 5000 as a gift to Kangxi Emperor, and 5000 to purchase goods (such as opium and silks). Moreover, the mission will be sent to establish a trading deal with Qing China, such that lucrative Chinese trade may be opened to European markets via Venezia.

The Qing dynasty feel that opening trade with Europe will benefit them. But assure the Venetians they will let no change in sovereignty occur in China.
They sell goods to the Venetians worth 5,000. And will continue this arrangement every year. Venetian merchants can sell these goods in Europe for three times the price, and may look to invest more into Chinese trade. However, the more Chinese goods that hit European markets, the less valuable they will become.

Marcantonio Giustinian would like to thank the most gracious Qing dynasty for their generous response, and notes that the Venetian Republic has no interest in upturning Qing sovereignty.
