417 The ubiquitous chain of contempt
At this time, Zheng Fu was observing his words and expressions while speaking, and he did have some apprehension in his heart, because tonight was the deadline, but not only did Xue Laixiang's ship still not return, but also the Australians' demand for the release of all thousands of Han slaves had not been fulfilled.
Of course he didn't know that at this time, Gu Jin and Zhu Beiguo basically had a consensus, that is: in the first stage, it is enough to have these four hundred laborers, and the family will really not be able to accommodate more people for a while, and there will be more people going at one time, not only will there be problems with housing, but even there may be a shortage of food.
In short, now Zheng Fu can't see any clues from Li Sanduo and Zhu Beiguo's faces, although the two of them have a serious or even indifferent expression to Zheng Fu's explanation, but they are very thoughtful in receiving people and things, and their attitude is also kind.
After listening to the explanation, Zhu Beiguo gently took the two paper rolls wrapped in bamboo sticks, and did not immediately unfold them, but just put them on the iron table in the captain's room, and said to Zheng Fugong with a smile:
"In this case, Mr. Zheng has worked hard, please go back now."
"Mr. Zheng, please reply with peace of mind, and tell the king and prime minister of the Sulu Kingdom that the specific behavior of the Australian Federation will be determined after we have collectively discussed these two documents. However, Mr. Zheng should not worry too much, if the two sides really can't talk, Mr. Zheng can make plans in advance. The Commonwealth of Australia will not abandon its friends. ”
Looking at Zheng Fu, who looked uneasy, Li Sanduo added.
So Zheng Fu was sent off the ship like this.
Not to mention this, Zheng Fu returned to the city with a heavy heart to restore the life of the king and prime minister.
As soon as Zhu Beiguo sent Zheng Fu off the ship, he hurriedly returned to the captain's room.
"Brother Zhu! Your historical data is basically good, but you still underestimate the market price of sugar......"
Seeing Zhu Beiguo enter the captain's room, Li Sanduo looked up and said to him, his tone full of excitement.
As soon as Li Sanduo and Zheng Fu left the captain's room, he immediately couldn't wait to expand the list and read it, which was completely different from the pretended calmness that Zheng Fu made when he was present.
At this time, many people suddenly crowded into the captain's room, including those who were not on duty, because everyone wanted to know how much their goods could be worth in this world.
So Li Sanduo, with the help of Peng Qiang, Zhou Rui and a group of others, unfolded this long scroll of paper, and then everyone read the list of the king's trade replies sent by Zheng Fu attentively.
The scroll was densely covered with the name of the goods and the unit price offered by the Sulu State.
"Holy! Those dozen pairs of big earrings made of glass sell for one hundred and fifty taels of silver per pair?! ”
"A piece of jade C cargo pendant is worth one hundred and twenty taels of silver?"
"That is, people don't know what ABC goods are, just think they are good-looking, and there are no such concepts in this era, right? It's all natural? ”
"In fact, people don't have the concept of pure nature, or that sentence, look at the value of the goods, the good must be good-looking, the practical must be practical, the so-called pure natural, that is the concept of the old world, in fact, it is just a gimmick......
Li Sanduo immediately commented on this.
After listening to it, everyone also felt that what Brother Li said made sense, people living in this era are full of pure nature, and they are not far from the wild, pure natural is not rare at all, and they wish there was less pure nature......
"Hey! This glassware is really worth a lot of money, a pair of shot glasses are fifty taels of silver! ”
"Yes, by comparison, this big glass fruit bowl only gives one hundred and fifty taels of silver? That's not enough for the price, isn't it? ”
"Overall, the glass mirror is still worth a lot, look at that big dresser mirror, 1,500 taels of silver!"
"Fifteen hundred taels are cheaper, this length, width and quality are the only ones in the world!"
"One is the only one, but I heard Mr. Zhao say that in a few years, a glass mirror of this size can be mass-produced......"
"it! A stainless steel chrome fork only gives ten taels of silver? Not for sale! Let's keep it for ourselves......"
"This is not Europe, who eats with a knife and fork? When the dagger is used, it is too blunt, except for the shiny and good-looking, what practical use can it have? Of course, it can't be sold for a good price. ”
Li Sanduo immediately responded, and everyone in the audience immediately nodded in agreement after hearing it, it seems that the people of this era are really real, the good-looking are good-looking, and the practical are practical.
"That's it, these Nanyang monkeys eat with their hands......"
"Okay, what a South Sea monkey, don't talk about it, it will affect future trade relations......"
"What's this?! You're too cautious, aren't you? ”
"That's it! Even if they say it to their faces, these Nanyang monkeys can't understand it......"
At this time, Li Sanduo next to him frowned and listened to the words of these young people, and finally couldn't help it, after all, he has been running the ocean all the year round, and he is a person among young people who has seen more of the world.
For a person, the more well-informed, the less likely it is to discriminate against others, and the less likely it is to recognize and evaluate a thing with a simple label.
At this time, Li Sanduo suddenly had an urge not to vomit or be unhappy, so he shook his head and said to everyone, you guys, don't talk like this, in fact, in this world, there is no real difference between nations, you think the difference is big, that's because you don't understand, you haven't been in contact, human beings are actually the same! At least in a physiological sense!
Yes, we come from the old world, and our thoughts and actions will inevitably be branded with the old world, but now we are in the new world!
Why are you people still this monkey and that devil all day long, why are the ideas of racial hatred and discrimination so deep-rooted?
In the old world, Chinese people said that blacks were, whites were white-skinned pigs, Indians were Ah San, Koreans were sticks, Japanese people were devils, Russians were Maozi, Vietnamese people were monkeys, well, it doesn't matter, it's none of our business.
But in the new world, it's not right for you to be like this!
Because in the foreseeable future, our workforce will almost certainly come from all over the world, of course, the Han people may be the main body, but there will certainly be a lot of people from other ethnic groups!
The problem is that we are not inclusive like you, how can we make our business go global?
In the future, we will not be able to only guard the acre and three points of land in the South Seas, and if we want people from all over the world to deal with us happily, we must have an international vision and an international mind that transcends race, right?
Isn't there a saying that how big the pattern is, how big the career is? I hope you will think twice about what I said!
Everyone listened to Li Sanduo's serious rhetoric, and they were all a little sneering for a while, and finally Zhu Beiguo, who returned to the cabin, broke the embarrassment, saying that after all, we are from the old world, and it is inevitable that there will be some old world habitual thinking, but those racial discrimination are far away from the world, how can there be no various discrimination around us?
In that world, there was regional discrimination, gender discrimination, identity discrimination and wealth discrimination, these things are deep-rooted, and compared to these discriminations, racial discrimination is pediatric, in a word, the chain of contempt is everywhere......
"That's why I want to say that breaking down discrimination and paying attention to equality is a long way to go for us......"
At this time, Li Sanduo couldn't help but sigh.
"Okay, okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I won't say it, I just suddenly had a feeling, and this building actually brought me crooked......"
Li Sanduo suddenly smiled to himself and said to his companions who were gradually quieting down......
"What, Brother Zhu, these eleven tons of sugar were sold for a total of 18,000 taels of silver?"
Li Sanwei immediately set an example and pulled the topic back to the list.
"Yes, note that this is the purchase price given by others, and the market price of white sugar may rise by a few percent......"
Zhu Beiguo responded.
"Is it just a few percent? According to the historical experience I know, if you don't double it, you won't do sea trade! ”
At this time, Hu Xiaolin next to him said.
