[1] :"The representative of both the Fugger and Welser was Ferdinand Cron (ca. 1559-1637). He was hired as the chief-organizer and co-ordinator in Cochin, which was the main pepper-purchasing center of India. He was assisted by Christian Schneeberger, an agent of the Fugger and when he got sick, the trade-agent of Rott and later Rovelasca, Gabriel Holzschuher followed him. Marx Wolfmüller, the former Sassetti/Rovelasca-agent also served Cron as collection-agent in Cannanore as well as Sebastian Zangmeister. The European part of the network in Lisbon was represented by Christoph Manlich for the Welser, and Joseph Hartlieb, later Johann Eberlin, for Philipp Eduard and Octavian Fugger.
As the brothers Philipp Eduard and Octavianus Secundus Fugger and the Welser signed the pepper-contract (1587) they founded a factory in Goa, which later on was led by Ferdinand Cron. In the 90s, when it became more and more complicated to communicate by the sea-way, the Fugger decided to run an information-service over land. Here, they cooperated with the Welser-factory in Lyon as well as with the Ott in Venice." -- Kyber 18:46, 20. Mär. 2007 (CET)
