The wind blows from the South Sea

Chapter 9 A sincere partner (please collect, monthly tickets, and follow-up reading)
  Feng Guohui's move made Hu Laohu look at it with brilliance. He was a true fellow disciple, and he could see that the power of the Tongbei Fist had reached an advanced level and was extremely powerful.

If it fell on someone, it would probably break bones and tendons.

Experts look at the doorway

Neijiaquan in Jianghu emphasizes that the power penetrates the back of the paper and converges at one point, just like the power of a dancing spear converging on the tip of the spear, instantly bursting out with incredible lethality.

This is like the four-liang movement of a thousand pounds in Tai Chi. Shaking your hands and exerting force can throw a person more than ten meters away.

As the first of the six internal martial arts, Tongbei Fist is indeed very powerful. This draped palm is as powerful as a cannon hammer. He is truly a first-rate master.

The small reveal of his hand was impressive.

Feng Guohui invited the two guests to sit down, served tea and chatted for a while. After a while, they were laughing and chatting with each other, and they seemed to be more familiar with each other.

"Then it's settled. Our Nanyang Company's mule and horse caravan will set off in three days. We will first go to the southern route and accept 4000 pounds of daily necessities from Mr. Yi at a discount of 260 silver coins (Luzon silver coins)." Feng Guohui made the decision.

The two parties agreed that these goods must arrive at the site within two days. At that time, 160% of the transportation price, totaling silver coins, would be paid in advance, and the remaining % would be settled after the smooth return.

If the goods are lost on the way, no more than 10% of the goods will be borne by the owner of the goods, and the excess will be compensated by Nanyang Company based on the price.

Mainland cities and towns have a huge demand for daily necessities. Goods such as needles and threads, foreign cloths, mirrors, iron pots and porcelain bowls, candies and soaps all have to be imported from coastal port cities.

Without these, life would be very inconvenient.

The freight rates vary depending on the goods being transported. The freight rates for daily necessities are much higher than those for salted fish, and of course the profits are much greater.

Nanyang Company is normally not willing to transport salted fish. Unless the mule and horse caravans have free transport capacity, they will transport some high-value salted fish species. Anyway, the transport capacity is idle.

In Feng Guohui's plan
  From now on, when the Nanyang Company's mule and horse caravans have sufficient financial resources, they can purchase goods by themselves at the port terminals and export them to the mainland, thereby earning more profits.

From now on, only the Nanyang Company can take these two trade routes to the west and south, and others want to follow suit.

Humph... The trade routes opened up by the Nanyang Company are not for others to take advantage of. Since the local indigenous people can transform themselves from good people into ruthless bandits, of course the Nanyang Company can do the same.

"Mr. Yi, please, now that you and I have reached a cooperation, in two days our Nanyang Company will be the host and invite Mr. Yi and other business partners to have a drink. Please be sure to show your appreciation."

Feng Guohui picked up the tea cup and said with a smile, appearing to be rigorous and experienced in handling things.

Since he was serving tea to see off the guests, it was inconvenient for Mr. Yi to stay for a long time. He glanced at Gavi Torres beside him intentionally or unintentionally, and saw that this old god was sitting there completely unaware.

The ghost guy didn't understand Chinese etiquette, so he could only sigh secretly and return the greeting;
  "Mr. Feng is a great talent. As long as you can open up these two trade routes, are you afraid that the wealth will not come rolling in? I hereby wish you a prosperous future and a bright future. It's getting late, so I can't bother you, so I'll take my leave. ”

"Go slowly, Hu Laohu will send Mr. Yi off. You are welcome to come and give me advice."

"Hehehe... I won't give it away."

Mr. Yi raised his butt and left, followed closely by Hu Laohu, closing the door as he left.

Seeing Mr. Yi leave, Garvey Torres smiled and said unabashedly;

"Dear Mr. Feng, you deliberately want to leave me alone to talk. Are you sure that I will be interested? Business is not that... the mysterious martial arts of Eastern China."

Garvey Torres said this and made two gestures with his hands, still showing an unconcealable sense of pride in his expression.

Hearing what he said, a trace of imperceptible contempt flashed in Feng Guohui's eyes, which he concealed well with a slight smile.

When it comes to doing business, in an equal business environment, the Chinese are considered the ancestors of all ethnic groups in the world, and the Jews are so-so, then the Spaniards are just scum.

three hundred years ago
  In the early days of the Great Navigation, Spain could be said to be full of kings, sharing the world's colonies equally with tiny Portugal. They got up early and went to the late market.

The famous Spanish treasure ship made all European countries jealous, but what was the result?
  After the rise of the Dutch sea coachmen and the British royal fleet, Spain's monopoly on the overseas colonial empire was broken and fell into irreversible decline.

The Spanish are world-famous for their barbaric force colonization, but their poor economic operation capabilities have become a laughing stock in Europe. Huge wealth could not be transformed into stronger national strength, but was squandered in the luxurious life of the nobles and excessive foreign wars.

The simplest point

Spanish native silver pesos and colonial silver pesos go their own way. Mexican silver pesos, Cuban silver pesos, and Luzon silver pesos do not circulate with each other. They have different price comparisons and different silver contents. It is simply an exchange disaster.

Feng Guohui was not in a hurry. Under the slightly provocative gaze of the other party, he lightly tapped the chair handle with his fingers and said in a calm tone;
  "Mr. Garvey, Mr. Torres is confident that you will be responsible for the affairs of the Dutch East Indies. He must have taken a fancy to your outstanding ability and young talents to entrust you with such great trust."

"Of course, there are not many outstanding young people like me. The Torres family has been operating in the Luzon Islands for more than 170 years, weaving an extremely deep network of relationships, and has important influence in Manila and other places..." Garvey Torres The compliment made her smile brightly, and she easily revealed a lot of important information.

After boasting for a while, Feng Guohui already roughly knew the quality of the Torres family. It could be described as an old colonial family. They lived in the city of Manila and owned manors, castles and large plantations. They were indeed very influential.

The so-called agent in the East Indies is actually the fact that the Torres family has encountered obstacles in their operations here. They have encountered obstacles and become discouraged, and they have begun to think about quitting.

The flamboyant Garvey-Torres was left to handle the acquisition of local assets, including many properties in Surabaya, Batavia and Bandung, mainly leasing and selling.

The total value is about 4 silver coins, which is almost more than 11 pounds. The Torres family even has an % stake in Surabaya Port.

Important decisions still need to be consulted in Manila.

But it has to be said that the Torres family still has a very strong foundation. They invested more than 200,000 silver coins in a large amount, but unfortunately it was far from reaching the expected goal.

Feng Guohui is now greedy for these assets. Even if he shares a little profit, he can still have a full stomach.

He did not stop Garvey Torres from boasting, and even provided an assist at the right time, which made the Spanish boy talk more enthusiastically and talk endlessly.

During this period, the subordinates came to ask for instructions whether to serve dinner? Feng Guohui waved his hand and asked them to start eating first.

They kept talking until it was dusk, and the light outside dimmed. The men came in, lit the oil lamps, and refilled the tea.

When Feng Guohui looked at the other party with great interest, he expressed it appropriately;
  "Dear Mr. Garvey, I fully understand the difficulties the Torres family is experiencing here.

After all, this is the territory of the Dutch, and they don't want to see you getting bigger and posing a threat to them.

IMHO
  What you need is a local partner who can sincerely cooperate. For example, my Nanyang company is an excellent choice. "

"You..." Garvey Torres glanced at Feng Guohui in shock, and seeing that he didn't look like he was joking, he curled his lips and said with disdain;

"I'm sorry, dear Feng, you are indeed an interesting partner, but it is probably unrealistic to want to cooperate with the Torres family.

I didn't mean to laugh at you, um... In fact, your grassroots team is far from meeting the minimum requirements for direct dialogue with the Torres family.

This is so ridiculous, I can only regard it as an April Fool’s Day joke..."

Seeing Garvey Torres' arrogant look, Feng Guohui wanted to punch him in the face, beating him until he couldn't take care of himself and could only lie on the ground and beg.

This immature thought just passed through his mind.

Fighting and killing is not the way to do business. To lure someone into a trap and then deceive him into bankruptcy and then have to count the money for you is the way to do business.

Soon, Feng Guohui adjusted his mentality, suppressed the urge to beat people, and said with a sincere face;

"I don't like to joke, dear Mr. Garvey, we are talking about a business that contains astonishing wealth, and Nanyang Company is a very sincere partner.

Doesn’t the Torres family want to get involved in the spice trade? Wouldn’t you be tempted to face the opportunity you’ve longed for? "

He finally threw out the bait, sure that the other party would take the bait.
