In the new world, it is true that we need allies, but allies are not found randomly, because ability can be cultivated, but character is difficult to shape.

For allies, whether the other party has a conscience that does things and has a bottom line is the most critical thing.

So during these days, on the surface, everyone was communicating normally, but these treacherous and cunning guys quietly completed the "character review" of Xue Huang and the others in this way.

However, it should be noted that the interaction between Wei @ Hong and Ren Ke and Xue Huang and their buddies is pure friendship.

After all, this group of young people is very pure and enthusiastic, most of them are Ming fans, these people express their sincere admiration for Xue Huang and Huang who are still on the side of Daming when Daming has basically fallen apart, and their feelings are sincere.

Therefore, Gu Jin and Zhu Beiguo all agreed that it would be better not to hand over the matter of examining the character of Xue Huang and the others to them, which would cause psychological discomfort to these young people, and in case they leaked their mouths, it would always be an embarrassing thing.

Fortunately, the final findings of the review of these two men were satisfactory.

Zhu Beiguo was very emotional, through the investigation and contact of these people, he believed that the maritime merchants of the Ming Dynasty, although they also stole and traded with public morality, but their private morality was excellent, in addition to the business and credit has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, as recorded in the notes of Western missionaries, the Chinese merchants of this era are "high-quality", and they generally pay attention to treating friends with sincerity and loyalty to the king.

Of course, the key is that people will recognize you as a friend or a gentleman, and once you are regarded as a friend or benefactor, you will remain unchanged for life.

But in the same way, once betrayed, at least never associate with him, or at worst never forgive the betrayer.

For Xue Laixiang Huang Zhiyan, in the face of Australians who have the grace of death support, they should be friends and gentlemen.

In fact, the friendship between the two sides improved faster than Gu Zhu and others expected, two days after Huang Zhiyan arrived on the Nicole, when he was just able to speak soberly, he brought a message to Dai Xiaoshan through Ren Ke**, saying that this life-saving favor does not know how to reciprocate, if he does not give up, he is willing to recognize the divine doctor as his father-in-law and serve Yunyun for life.

The result surprised Dai Xiaoshan, the doctor of the former county hospital first sighed and said that the doctor-patient relationship in this era is really harmonious and warm!

Then, he politely refused and said that our age is a little inappropriate, and it is okay to think of us as brothers, so we don't need to use father and son.

As a result, Ren Kewei @ Hong and the two were middle-aged people, and Huang Zhiyan really worshipped the miracle doctor in his mind as a big brother.

However, Huang Zhiyan still felt that he was still unsatisfied, and he said to Wei @ Hongrenke, or I and the Xue family brothers should visit Captain Gu as our father-in-law.

Wei @ Hong was very happy to hear this, and immediately responded, so good, so good! In the future, you will be able to hug your thick thighs!

However, Huang Zhiyan felt that how could he dare to have a utilitarian heart of hugging his thighs, and the Xue family brothers were willing to do so, but they had some concerns.

After all, in the minds of Xue and Huang, Captain Gu is a noble man on the top, although he and the Xue family brothers have hearts, but they are a little apprehensive, they feel that their status is humble, and they are afraid that their father-in-law is Gao Pan, and they are afraid that Captain Gu will be unhappy......

Wei @ Hong told Huang Zhiyan on the spot, it doesn't matter, Captain Gu is the same on the outside and inside, sincere and "to people", although he acts decisively and has a stern appearance, but in fact, he is very soft in his heart, in short, he is a good person.

At this time, Ren Ke also said beside him, teach you a method, and you will be able to fulfill your wish.

This method is to cut first and then play: when the opportunity is right, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, first go forward and kowtow to recognize your father-in-law, walk in front of the courtesy, kowtow a little, as long as the feelings are sincere, Captain Gu will not refuse to wait for your good intentions.

Huang Zhiyan nodded frequently when he heard this, Xue Laixiang immediately agreed, and the two hit it off, and later, Xue and Huang really found an opportunity to worship Gu Jin as their father-in-law......

On the afternoon of 11 July, the delivery of silver cargo at the port of Holo was completed, and the two sides agreed to arrange procurement activities within three days, including procurement in the market.

That night, the Pride and Nicole each held a dinner party to celebrate the success of the business.

This result is indeed worth celebrating, the first time the travelers did business in the New World, they sold all the goods, and did not lose money.

In particular, sugar and sweet potato wine, despite the fact that their sales amount accounts for a small proportion of all revenue, but everyone knows the great significance of it.

Regarding the sale of that batch of supermarket goods, in fact, everyone has figured it out now, supermarket materials are a hammer deal, it doesn't matter if you sell more or less, but sugar and sweet potato wine are long-term business.

As for profits, although the cost of sugar and liquor was not carefully calculated in advance, it was because there was no actual understanding of the prices of goods in the New World, and the market prices based on historical evidence were actually incorrect.

But through this transaction, everyone's hanging hearts finally let go, especially Zhu Beiguo, it turns out that although his historical evidence is biased, it is also basically reliable, in short, the market value of sugar and spirits is very satisfactory, at least it is much higher than expected, in a word, there are really huge profits in it!

So at this time, whether it was on the Nicole or the Pride, there was a cheerful atmosphere everywhere, and everyone was very excited.

Now, not only have you sold your goods for a good price, but you have also signed a formal trade agreement, which is obviously a very good start.

The original strategy of "building a country through trade" was still a so-called established national policy on paper, but now, it has gradually become a reality, and it seems that this national policy is feasible and operable, and it is indeed worth rejoicing.

In short, since the sea was hit, a month has passed through wind and rain, and the final result is worth the trip......

Of course, about this trade and this agreement, in the eyes of the other party, it is also satisfied, Zhu Beiguo even thinks that Sulu should be more satisfied, of course, Zhu Beiguo is not clear before getting the exact information is that in fact, Prime Minister Suhabi Datu should be the most satisfied with this agreement.

Later, according to the information brought by Zheng Fu, it was shown that Zhu Beiguo's feelings were indeed correct.

First of all, for the Sulu State, the Prime Minister and His Majesty the King have indeed made a lot of real money by monopolizing the import of Australian goods and purchases from Australia.

Because the various "treasures" from the "devil's ship" - ornaments of strange quality, glassware, glass mirrors, and large quantities of white sugar and sweet potato wine - are indeed worth a lot.

Although the Sulu Kingdom paid nearly 250,000 taels of silver in the early days in order to get these goods, only two months later, these goods were snapped up in many ports in the South Seas, and they were snapped up when the price doubled on average, and the price of some of the jewels quadrupled, for the simple reason that these "curiosities" were indeed rare.

Of course, people don't know that these things come from another world, but any veteran of business can judge the quality and rarity of the goods.

Therefore, when these goods were first put on the market, the merchants were all shocked and shocked, because neither the Europeans nor the Arabs, nor even the Indian and Chinese maritime merchants, who had always been known for their various rare goods, could not find similar goods of comparable quality!

Later, these goods were turned around the world, and their value has long since surpassed that of the original – but this is another story.

In short, this time the adults of Sulu were blessed by misfortune, just the realization of these goods, they recovered all the losses of foreign compensation, and finally made a net profit of more than 150,000 taels of real money and silver, which is equivalent to a year and a half of Sulu's total financial income out of thin air!

In a word, this time, the prime minister, who almost monopolized the trade of Australian goods, made a fortune.

However, that's not all, according to the trade agreement between the two sides, there will be a steady stream of Australian goods coming in, including those high-quality white sugars, impressive and irresistible spirits, and all kinds of exotic glass mirrors and glassware......

In short, today's Sulu nobles make money at two ends, through monopolizing foreign trade, one end takes high-quality Australian goods to sell overseas at a high price, and the other ends, through monopoly procurement, and then earns a lot of Australian silver......

Facts have proved that Prime Minister Suhabi is indeed a wise man, and his judgment of the Australians is not wrong at all, and then the scale of the Australians' purchases in the port of Holo is so large that it is simply shocking to the ** business behavior of the Sulu country, so that his monopoly trading house earns enough money.
