Chapter 236: Deception 2.0 [Second Update]

Zheng Fei mentioned: In front of His Royal Highness the Prince. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

This made the prince regain some prestige after losing face.

So, the prince cleared his throat and said magnanimously: "Since the great merchants of the East have said so, then Abraham, you know what to do, don't refute everyone's interest." ”

The Duke was still hesitating, his eyes rolling.

Abraham was stingy. ”

Someone muttered something in the shadows, causing a burst of whispering.

What guest would dare to be so presumptuous?

"Enough!"

The duke shouted, and he couldn't stand the cynicism of everyone.

"Matthew, get the stuff over!"

"But ......"

"Do it!"

Persuasion failed, and Matthew gritted his teeth and walked through the crowd as quickly as he came, out of the manor gate.

In just half an hour, a huge convoy appeared at the door, and through the iron fence, people saw at least a hundred ox carts, each with several cargo boxes of different sizes.

Outside the manor, those ordinary people who came to see the excitement, as well as the girls who were carefully dressed and waiting for the opportunity to "pinch the sharp", looked curiously at the suddenly arrived convoy and watched the porters unload the goods.

"Look at that porter, he's so handsome!"

"He's handsome, but he's just a porter. ”

They were talking about the boy who followed Brad.

The porters are all Zheng Fei's people, and he is not at ease if he hires someone else to do it.

Hundreds of crates were moved into the manor and placed on the ground according to different cargo classification codes, and the banquet was in full swing, but people still left their knives and forks and watched.

The prince, accompanied by the guards, came to the pile of crates and glanced at the duke.

"What is this, Abraham?"

Obviously, there can't be so much ginseng, most of the boxes are animal skins and specialties of the Americas, and only one box as big as a pillow contains American ginseng, which originally had two large boxes, but considering that the scarcity is expensive, Zheng Fei put it away, and maybe it can be sold for a lot of money in other ports in the future.

The Duke motioned to his son Matthew, who quickly drew his dagger and pried open one of the crates.

Coincidentally, this box contains gold mined in the Azores.

The alluring color, which symbolizes wealth, suddenly makes the eyes of mercenary businessmen light up, staring straight at the motionless.

This box of gold can mint tens of thousands of gold coins, to say the least.

The fact is that there are six more chests like it, which are about 100,000 gold coins, that is, more than a million silver coins.

Immediately after, Matthew pried another box.

Mink, fox, deer, wolf...... There is a staggering variety of animal skins.

You must know that these animal skins are all sold on the sheet, and there are several meanings for boxes and boxes......

The businessmen were stunned.

The aristocratic ladies present were thrilled to touch the fur they had worn for several years, and then look at the snow-white mink lying in the box.

It's really not easy to find a fine mink.

The third box, a North American specialty, is mostly nuts, but also some easy-to-store fruits, such as cranberries.

These specialties were not worth much, and their value was that Europeans had never seen them.

If you tell men that cranberries are aphrodisiac, they're going to rush to buy them, just like you tell a girl that nuts are good for beauty.

Finally, Matthew picked up the small box containing the ginseng and opened it.

Hundreds of American ginseng, lying quietly in the box, instantly attracted everyone's attention, and the nearby crowd was in an uproar, provoking people in the distance to jump up and look around, extremely excited.

People thought that it would be great if the Duke could have three or two ginseng plants, hundreds, what kind of concept?!

Since the Ottoman Empire cut off the land trade between the East and the West, there was not necessarily so much ginseng in the whole of Europe!

"My God!"

"This ......"

"Am I really not dreaming?"

......

"Abraham, these ...... It's all yours?"

Even the prince had to be shocked by this valuable shipment.

"No, they belong to a navigator friend of mine, who has recently returned from a voyage and wants to sell this shipment through me because the exchange has been blown up. ”

"How much profit do you get?"

"Ishei ......"

"Heh, looks like you're going to make a windfall...... Where's your friend?"

As soon as the words fell, a sonorous voice resounded through the manor, not one, to be exact, but a piece.

"See His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Hearing the shouting, almost at the same time, the restless crowd turned their heads to look.

There were about seventy or eighty men, dressed in smart attire, with neat steps, and the short-barreled muskets pinned to their waists, which alerted the prince's bodyguard, and immediately raised their heavy swords in front of the prince.

The leader was a tall and strong man, with a resolute face and steady steps, and in the eyes of those who know, he must have been on the battlefield for a long time.

He is Ares, as his name suggests, and his aura is quite powerful.

Ares led the elite soldiers, standing majestically in front of the people, like a heavy mountain, oppressing them as if it had become difficult to breathe.

"I thought that navigators were not like this......"

The prince leaned back slightly, feeling that he could not control the current situation.

Although he is a prince, he is too young to experience any wind and rain after all, and he has an inexplicable awe of the character of Ares.

This is probably the worship of strength in men.

As for the giant merchants from West Asia, their expressions were much calmer in comparison, but they also couldn't hide the excitement in their hearts, staring at Ares without moving, waiting for him to speak.

Each of them wants to buy this batch of goods, even if they can't buy all of them, they have to take the ginseng!

Ares smiled coldly at the crowd's attention, walked straight to the open crate, grabbed a cranberry and ate one, and smacked his lips deliciously.

"Ares, I think it's time for you to get down to business. ”

The duke reminded him and patted him on the shoulder, the acting was not very natural, and without the affinity between old friends, this acting skill is estimated to be missing the Oscars.

Ares, the god of war!

People sighed again, stared straight at his face, gasped, and the sense of awe in their hearts deepened.

And at this time, Ares's feeling is, cool!

For the first time in his life, he was respected by so many people, not to mention, these people were rich and noble!

Because he has something to do, he can't put up a fight by his own temperament, otherwise he will be taught a lesson by the captain when he is done.

He smiled and glanced around.

"It seems that there are many powerful businessmen present, are they interested in my batch of goods?"

As soon as these words came out, the giant businessmen immediately lifted their spirits, and after a short period of excitement, they chose to remain silent.

They know that the party who is overly eager to trade tends to be on the back foot.

Ares didn't care about their reactions, smiled indifferently, and continued according to Zheng Fei's explanation.

"Whoever pays the highest price, my goods belong to whomever I want. (To be continued.) )
