1850 American Gold Tycoon.

"Pontianak Port is not a free trade port. Except for Dutch merchant ships, merchant ships from other countries are not allowed to enter without permission!"

The Dutch second lieutenant on duty shouted to Elvis in English, ordering Elvis to stop the boat.

As soon as the words fell, Ye Tenghui, the former chief executive of Lanfang Company who had been waiting in Pontianak Port, said to the Dutch second lieutenant: "Second Lieutenant Carlito, this is the goods I bought, I hope it will be convenient."

As he spoke, Ye Tenghui took out a small one-ounce gold nugget from his sleeve and stuffed it into Lieutenant Carlito's hand.

"Your cargo?"

Second Lieutenant Carlito was thinking about the gold nugget in his hand, but did not express his opinion.

Ye Tenghui understood, gritted his teeth, and took out another one-ounce gold nugget and stuffed it into Lieutenant Carlito's hand.

Second Lieutenant Carlito showed a satisfied smile and waved his hand to let him go.

"This is Ye Tenghui, the ninth chief executive of Lanfang Company, the strength we can win."

Wang Jia, who had braided hair and was dressed in western clothes, said to Elvis.

The Lanfang company is not monolithic, and not all Lanfang executives want to be dogs to the Dutch and Indian authorities.

Elvis ordered the crew to hurry up and unload the cargo, and then got off the ship and shook hands with Ye Tenghui: "Mr. Ye, hello, I'm Elvis."

"Your Excellency can speak official language?"

Elvis can speak relatively fluent Chinese, which surprised Ye Tenghui.

"To lead Mr. Liang's troops to do things, you can't speak Chinese."

Elvis looked around and saw no one approaching, so he lowered his voice and said.

"Mr. Ye is willing to give up his family business in China and come out to help. Wang thanked Mr. Ye on behalf of the children of the Han family on Borneo Island!" Wang Jiachao thanked Ye Tenghui with his hands clasped.

"Ashamed, ashamed, I am ashamed of the boss system." Ye Tenghui sighed, his face was full of guilt.

"Lanfang's collapse started from me, and I should end it all. I valued my business too much at the beginning, so I neglected the management of the company, and gave Liu Shoushan, a traitorous traitor, a chance to come to power. Yes I lost my sight."

Liu Shoushan was originally the accountant of Lanfang Company. Ye Tenghui saw that he was able to handle affairs efficiently, impartially and selflessly, and had outstanding ability. He was a rare talent.Then when he left office, he recommended Liu Shoushan as the general manager of Lanfang Company.

I don't want to cause today's disaster.

"When I went to California, Wang felt a lot. The unity of the Chinese in California is rare. Mr. Liang went to California for gold mining for more than four years, and he brought the Chinese to gain a firm foothold in California. The Chinese on Borneo, today They are still fighting among themselves," Wang Jia said.

The collapse of Lanfang Company began when Liu Taier (1823-1837), the sixth general manager, had no bottom line to seek cooperation with the Dutch and Indian authorities.

Ye Tenghui was also responsible for the collapse of Lanfang Company, but it was not his responsibility alone.

The Lanfang Company didn't understand the East India Company's approach, so it applied the East India Company's organizational structure, and mixed it with the organization and management form of the civil society party, making it nondescript.

In addition, there is no strong government to endorse and support it outside, and there is a lack of strong leaders with outstanding vision and outstanding capabilities inside.

It is only a matter of time before the demise of Lanfang Company is doomed.

"How many soldiers and horses did Mr. Liang lead this time?" Ye Tenghui asked. …

"Mr. Liang went on an expedition to the Japanese country and defeated [-] enemies. Ye Mou has also heard about the fact that it was decided in one battle. If Mr. Liang sends troops to help, the Han people on Borneo Island will be saved."

Ye Tenghui has also heard about Liang Yao's expedition to Japan. This is the favorite topic of Guangdong storytellers this year.

Although word of mouth is inevitably exaggerated, it is a real fact that Liang Yao's first battle in Kanagawa forced the Japanese shogunate to sign the Edo Treaty.

If Liang Yao directly sent troops to intervene in the food on West Borneo Island, the Chinese on Borneo Island might not have the possibility of making a comeback.

"Tens of thousands."

Wang Jia gave an ambiguous figure.

"I don't know when Mr. Liang will land? On the day Mr. Liang lands, I will fully cooperate with Lan Fang and Yu Zhongding!"

Although tens of thousands is a very ridiculous number, it at least gave Ye Tenghui a reassurance.

"Specific matters, we will discuss them in detail after we go back," Wang Jia said.

Liang Yao's instruction to Wang Jia was to lead Lanfang Yuzhong of Pontianak to capture Pontianak wharf, especially to control the forts of Pontianak, when the Umbrella Company landed armed forces.

If the Pontianak pier and fort cannot be taken down, at least an armed uprising must be launched on the day of landing to attract some of the defenders in Pontianak and reduce the pressure on the landing troops.

After the cargo boxes on the cargo ship were unloaded, Ye Tenghui signaled his men to pull these heavy boxes back to his house.

These crates held the guns and ammunition they needed for the day of the uprising.

Although the Dutch and Indian authorities used Lanfang Company to suppress other Chinese forces in West Borneo, they always took precautions against Lanfang Company.

The armed forces of the Lanfang Company are equipped with a certain number of firearms, but they are all old-fashioned flintlocks or even arquebuses eliminated by the Dutch and Indian authorities.

The performance of the weapons equipped by the Lanfang Company cannot be compared with the 1848-style flash cap guns that the Royal Dutch East India Army has just refitted.

"Wait!"

Ye Tenghui's convoy was leaving the pier with cargo boxes, but was stopped by a young man.

Behind the young man followed a group of soldiers from Lanfang Company either with muskets or waist knives.

It's broken, it's Ye Tingfan, a traitorous dog!This kid is not staying in Dongwanlu (the location of the Lanfang company's main office), what is he doing in Pontianak?
Wang Jia lowered his hat subconsciously.

Ye Tingfan is the son-in-law of Liu Shoushan, the current chief executive of Lanfang Company. The two of them are working hand in hand, willing to be the fangs of the Dutch and Indian authorities, helping the Dutch and Indian authorities to bully their compatriots.

"Uncle, let me tell you that you are an old bone. Instead of staying in Guangdong to manage your business, what are you doing in Borneo?" Ye Tingfan walked up to Ye Tenghui and said with a half-smile.

"How can you make money by digging gold in business?" Ye Tenghui replied calmly.

Ye Tenghui was not surprised by Ye Tingfan's appearance, this son of a bitch arrived in Pontianak two weeks ago, and even visited him at home.

But Ye Tenghui turned him away.

After learning that Ye Tingfan was colluding with the Dutchman and willing to be a lackey, Ye Tenghui severed his relationship with Ye Tingfan as uncle and nephew.

Showing affection to Ye Tingfan suddenly will make him suspicious.

"Nowadays is not the same as in the past. In the past, we only needed to hand over the part of the local leader, but now we not only need to hand over the part of the local leader, but also the part of the Hongyi.  …

After paying these two shares, there is not much gold that can fall into our hands. "

Ye Tingfan said meaningfully with his hands behind his back.

"The gang in Luyi attacked our mines like crazy wild dogs these days. Borneo is not peaceful now."

He would not believe that his old uncle went to West Borneo to seek gold instead of doing business in Guangdong, but he always felt that there was something wrong with it.

But what was wrong, he couldn't tell.

"It's not thanks to you, Weng and son-in-law! If you, Weng and son-in-law, didn't lead the wolf into the house, why would we have to pay the red-haired old man! Don't call me uncle, I don't have a nephew like you!" Ye Tenghui pointed Ye Tingfan's nose cursed.

"You can't say that. Without us, whether our mines in Lanfang can be kept alive or not. Dagang, Santiaogou, which company doesn't stare at our mines in Lanfang?"

Ye Tingfan casually walked to the box and leaned against the box.

"There is an order from the general system! Except for the Dutch ships, any merchant ships from other countries entering the port, no matter what goods they bring in, need to be carefully checked!"

After speaking, Ye Tingfan waved to the soldiers behind him, motioning them to pry open the cargo box.

"You shit! Ye Tingfan! Your uncle's coffin is going to be pried?!"

Seeing this, Ye Tenghui was furious, and pointed at Ye Tingfan's nose and cursed.

"Uncle, my nephew is also following orders, please forgive me for any offense, I hope uncle can understand my nephew's difficulties." Ye Tingfan apologized to Ye Tenghui hypocritically.
