Therefore, at a previous discussion meeting, Zhu Beiguo's evaluation of Sun Lao's suggestion was: You always let the governor of the family live a happy life with arbitrariness and arbitrariness, but you have to do things carefully like walking on thin ice, this, I'm afraid it's unrealistic, right?

But Pimont did surprise Zhu Beiguo and them this time, this noble governor actually accepted Sun Lao's plan to "expand the mass base" in its entirety!

For this reason, Sun Lao once explained to Zhu Beiguo why this happened.

The most important reason, of course, is the need of reality, because the situation is stronger than people.

Now, although Pimont has put down the rebellion in Dili City, he has only just gained a foothold in Dili City and the surrounding area, and he is actually beyond the reach of a little farther away.

However, if you want to do business with us, you must effectively control the wild jungles that are abundant, not only control, but also mobilize the labor force to work for him as much as possible.

Moreover, at this time, there was still a foreign enemy at the western tip of the island of Timor, and there were still the remnants of Orne in the central and southern mountains, and the tribes in the eastern jungle were fighting with the more savage cannibal tribes in the depths of the jungle, and they were fiercely fighting for control of the jungle.

Therefore, as a so-called Governor of Timorese Island, with a permanent population of less than 200,000 and the actual population of the rest of the place under his control of less than 200,000, his strength is not very strong, so he needs to pull allies everywhere and maximize the support of the local citizens.

Sun Lao's suggestion just pointed out to him a means and way to effectively protect himself and achieve his business goals, so it is reasonable that Pimont finally accepted his plan.

However, in the end, Sun Lao emphasized a point, that is, we cannot use our own atheistic, completely utilitarian worldview to unilaterally judge the behavior of people with religious beliefs.

As a devout Christian, Pimont should have been more or less a man of religious redemption, part of the deep-rooted compassion of Christianity itself.

Moreover, a true Christian believes that all people in the world, although rich and poor on a secular level, are all "Lambs of God" before God Almighty, and the subtext is that in this world, everyone is equal before God.

It is precisely because of this that if the person has true faith, then he will have a little less emotional obstacle and a little more moral drive when he returns authoritarian power or wealth to society.

Don't underestimate this increase and decrease, in human history, it is often just such a small increase or decrease difference that can make a nation and a country embark on different paths......

Therefore, the need for reality and the emotional and moral sense drive make it impossible for devout Catholics such as Pimont, Degus and Duchess Margaret to make such a self-redeeming choice when faced with a major choice.

Of course, the premise must be that these people have genuine religious feelings and are devout believers.

After listening to Sun Lao's explanation, in addition to a group of young people who were confused, an elderly person like Gu Jin, combined with his own life ups and downs and experience, deeply understood Sun Lao's statement......

Well, the topic returns to the present, at eleven o'clock in the morning of this day, Li Sanduo and their boat finally docked on a small wooden trestle not far from the main pier, looking at the bustling crowd on the dock square in the distance, Hou Xianglin was a little surprised, saying that he had never seen such a lively scene in Dili Port.

"That's because the Pride is here!"

**Said very proudly.

Li Sanduo told Hou Xianglin that the Pride contained 15,000 pieces of various glass products and three tons of sweet potato wine, mainly mirrors and various utensils, among which the more eye-catching were stained glass cups.

In addition, there is a kind of glass window, which is something that the glass factory sells on an experimental basis.

"We intend to sell one-third of all these goods to Pimont, and the rest will be shipped to Macau for sale," Li said.

So at this moment, Pimont is excitedly taking people to the dock to look at the goods......

"Yo! Speak of the devil! Brother Hou! Pimont is greeting us from afar! ”

As soon as the group stepped onto the trestle, Li Sanduo waved in the distance in response, and turned back to Hou Xianglin and smiled at them.

So everyone turned their eyes to the crowd in the distance, but the Governor was standing on the trestle of the main pier in the distance, waving at them.

However, Pimont seemed to have something to do, and apparently he couldn't wait for Hou Xianglin and his party to come slowly, but greeted them all the way, and then warmly shook hands with Hou Xianglin and everyone in accordance with Australian etiquette - including Zezilia.

Then he said goodbye to this group of people, and hurriedly got on another boat with a few entourages and left the dock, Hou Xianglin asked Zhu Beiguo, who ran over to greet him, strangely said that Governor Xiaopi is usually busy, but he is quite a gentleman, and elegance and calmness are not his basic skills? Why are you so busy today that your feet don't touch the ground?

Zhu Beiguo said with a smile, because business is booming! Now Governor Pi is eager to divide himself into eight pieces and work separately, let's go, let's talk on the boat......

A moment later, Hou Xianglin stepped back on the deck of the Pride, his mood throbbed, and he finally had a long-lost excitement, which was the feeling of going home.

Seeing Brother Hou on the boat, Hu Xiaolin, Peng Qiang and others immediately put down their work and shook hands with Brother Hou and hugged him, and then greeted Zezilia, these crew members were all acquaintances of the sister, and finally all the crew members ran over, so Hou Xianglin and the sister immediately gathered a large group of people, in addition to greeting, everyone without exception hugged Brother Hou warmly, and there were also kisses and hand salutes with Zezilia, laughter and greetings came and went, and the deck was very lively, and Li Zhukang was squeezed aside, they could only stay by and watch the excitement.

After all, everyone has a job, so after everyone chatted a lot, it finally gradually dispersed, at this time, including Li Sanduo and **, people began to be busy with their own affairs, then Zilia knew that her fiancé must have a lot of things to do, so she took a few entourages to get off the Pride, there was a trade representative sent by the duchess in the dock square, and there was also a carriage, and she planned to go back to the manor to report the situation to her sister.

So Hou Xianglin took his sister's hand and got off the boat, until he sent his sister to the carriage in the corner of the square, and the sister intimately left two attendants for Brother Hou to pass on the message in time, so Hou Xianglin watched the carriage leave safely, and then returned to the boat with the two servants.

At this time, only Zhu Beiguo Kangda and the two people on the deck were waiting for him, and the rest of them were busy with their respective work, obviously this was Zhu Beiguo had something to discuss with Brother Hou, and he also pulled Kangda, who couldn't intervene, to accompany him.

Soon, Hou Xianglin and the three returned to the crew restaurant, where the environment was slightly quieter.

After taking a seat, Hou Xianglin continued to ask Zhu Beiguo a little strangely, saying that Pimont is always very elegant and calm, reflecting his slow and orderly aristocratic style everywhere, why is he in such a hurry today? Could it be that after dealing with us for a long time, they don't pay attention to etiquette?

"No, no, Pimont is anxious because the ore business we cooperated with him has been completely negotiated, and we have given him some convenience in terms of business."

Zhu Beiguo replied with a smile while bringing two glasses of water to Hou Kang and the others.

"What business have you done for him?"

Hou Xianglin took the water cup and took a sip of water and asked.

"Well, in terms of settlement methods, to put it bluntly, in addition to cash settlement, there is a part of the two sides of the share settled by barter.

At this moment, Governor Pi was excited, after all, he was still a young man of only twenty-six years old, and he could not sit still at all after listening to our suggestion...... Hey, but once he does this, it's really enough for him to toss......"

"Barter? Sounds familiar......"

Hou Xianglin put down the teacup and exchanged glances with Kangda, obviously these two science and engineering men are not very familiar with the concept of the economic and trade field.
