My arrival surprised Grandfather Ye, Uncle Ye and Uncle Ye, and of course, the "marketing experts" Qinglian and Yuhe, who run the store. At the banquet at the Chamber of Commerce in the evening, it is indispensable to have a staggered relationship, but if you are in a good mood, you will not get drunk no matter how you drink.

After the feast, those who should rest are resting, those who should be playing are still playing, and I, a kind of inner circle, are gathered in a big room, and we need to make a plan for what will happen next.

Recently, Malacca has just been turbulent, and it is definitely not peaceful. In addition to the Kuhn Chamber of Commerce's repeated small moves, the Kuhn Chamber of Commerce has been seen in Bahrain and Brunei, and even the port of Malacca has recently been full of rumors about the Memphis Chamber of Commerce and the Blade Sea Chamber of Commerce.

People say it's hard to create something, but it's extremely easy to destroy it. The Memphis Chamber of Commerce has been operating in Malacca for 30 years, and even the Blade Sea has struggled for several years. The reason why the two chambers can coexist equally and hold their positions together is that on the one hand, the two chambers of commerce are serious businessmen, and on the other hand, they are inseparable from the strong pressure of the Kuhn Chamber of Commerce.

"Memphis Chen is a mixed-race son with a Ming Dynasty father and a British-born mother. He is fifty-five years old. He is shrewd and capable, but because of his age, he lacks momentum, and he is more than successful. Grandfather Ye held a cup of tea and told me about the situation: "So he welcomed our presence very much. After all, having a reliable partner to help you can focus more on the things in front of you. ”

"When we arrived in Malacca three years ago, Memphis was in a deep battle with the Kuhn Chamber of Commerce. In the beginning, we had the attitude of being kind and companion to others, and wanted to help each other. But the Kuhn Chamber of Commerce did deceive people too much, and the Memphis Chamber of Commerce had a friendship with fellow villagers, so we helped Memphis Chen. Uncle Ye said with a smile.

"Over the years, we have formed a deep friendship. In foreign trade, the fields are clearly divided, and they do not interfere with each other or interfere with each other. Grandfather Ye put down the tea bowl and continued.

I sighed, nodded, and said, "Yes! It's the right way to go. After all, when you are a newcomer, you still need a skilled hand to help you with many things. Memphis is an excellent choice. Grandfather Ye, how did you divide the fields you just mentioned? "I am very interested in this elite model of well water not violating river water, and I can't help but ask a few more questions.

Grandfather Ye laughed twice, took out a booklet and handed it to me. When I saw it, it was an account book, and suddenly one head and two were big. I don't know why, but I've always stayed away from math. I prefer to make overall decisions, or micro execution, but I hate accounting and get a headache when I think about math.

In my previous life, Uncle Suzuki gave me an undergraduate degree in international trade, which also gave me a real headache for a while. When I first arrived at the unit, I must have started to settle small accounts, which gave me a headache. Later, the boss saw that I really didn't like to settle accounts, and he thought that I was a useful person, so he arranged me to work in the marketing department. In the past few years, it has climbed to the level of the backbone of Jinpan's business. This is the difference in people's abilities, and they cannot be forced.

Grandfather Ye sighed when he saw me looking at the account book, so he took the account book back with a smile and changed it to a narrative: "There are many special products here in Malacca, of which rubber accounts for half of the country. The main business of the Memphis Chen family is dealing in rubber, so we are not involved in this field. ”

I smiled and asked, "So what are we going to do?" ”

Grandfather Ye smiled: "Betel nut, ginger, sugar gum." Whatever makes money does, we do what Memphis doesn't do. In the past few years, we have become the largest in the South Seas in these fields. The Kuhn Chamber of Commerce is completely unable to compete with us, let alone other small chambers of commerce. We have also signed trade agreements with some ports in the Indian Ocean, and it is going well! ”

I picked up the tea bowl and toasted with tea instead of wine, and several elders drank it happily.

My uncle-in-law Yan Lei was more concerned about my personal problems, and when I saw Kite and Lan who were waiting diligently next to me go out to serve fruits, he asked me in a low voice, "Qilan, what about your personal affairs?" How do you say that? The Miss Li family went to the Indian Ocean with the fleet a few days ago, we persuaded for a while, it was still not peaceful over there, but we couldn't persuade her, she insisted on going, we were not close to each other, and it was not easy to stop us, so we had to let him go. ”

I frowned and said, "Huamei in the Indian Ocean?" What is she going to do? ”

The uncle-in-law sighed and said, "Before leaving, she said that when her mother was alive, she liked a kind of ambergris from the Indian Ocean the most, and she wanted to buy some and go back to pay tribute to her mother." ”

I nodded and said, "It's also human, but I don't know where she went to buy it?" ”

My uncle-in-law stared at me fixedly for a long time, and then sighed: "Qilan, when she left, I also reminded her that you are still fighting in Dongying, and if she has time, she should go to Dongying to see you." But...... But she was not at all indifferent and decided to go to the Indian Ocean. So I thought, how to put it......"

I smiled wryly and said, "Do you think her heart is not with me?" Let me give up, right? ”

"That's what we mean, too." Grandfather Ye said in a deep voice: "Those who abandon me cannot stay yesterday!" Qi blue, when the flowers bloom, they need to be folded, and don't wait for the flowers to be empty and break the branches. The two girls around you are both good, and they treat you sincerely, why do you want to die and admit to the family? ”

I let out a long sigh and leaned back in my chair, looking up at the roof. Actually, how to say it, Kite and Lan are not bad at all except for Huamei's life experience, but for me, what life experience is not important at all. That's what I like more about that feeling.

Kite and Lan, especially Lan, are the kind of women who are particularly traditional in the East, and although they do the work of sailing, they are still traditional in nature. Or rather, it doesn't seem quite the same as the other half I expected. What I need is someone who has an independent mind and an independent personality who can make up for and improve me, not just a simple love and love, and the object of reproduction.

But then again, is Huamei suitable? I'm not sure, at least not anymore. We were both in a good time, and we really talked very well, and there was a lot of common language, which made me think that there was such a person hundreds of years ago? I fell in love with this maverick girl.

However, since I left the Ming Dynasty and her home has been bumpy and up and down, Hua Mei's temperament seems to have changed. Become apathetic, become egoistic, become inconsiderate of other people's feelings. In fact, I'm also struggling, should I wait for someone who is destined to not wait for the beauty and yearning in my heart?

Just when I was stunned, Uncle Ye spoke again: "Qilan, in fact, I didn't want to say it, but I think I should tell you - when Miss Li came, she didn't lead the team alone, but with a young man from Britain, although the young man named Charlie was the advisor and adjutant in name, but from the eyes of my predecessors, the two didn't seem to be so simple." ”

When I heard this, I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows and asked, "Oh? And what else is there? ”

The uncle-in-law said: "Exactly, in the inner circle of Miss Li's fleet, in addition to her and Yang Xien, there are also a few navigators who help her. The Dongying native Yukihisa Shiraki and the Caucasian Yi'an Dukov are nothing, although they are also outstanding talents, but they are obviously just friends. And that Charlie is very interesting to Miss Li, and it seems that Miss Li is not very resistant. ”

After speaking, he sighed and said: "I didn't plan to tell you this, but I was afraid that you would be trapped in it and unable to extricate yourself, so I simply told you, and you can make a decision." ”

I was about to speak when Kite and Arashi came in with plates. These two guys went to the back kitchen and got a lot of tropical fruits. They grinned and put down their plates, sat down beside me, and the kite took out a very large mango from behind him and handed it to me, "This is the most ripe!" I secretly hid it for you! ”

Lan laughed out loud: "Obviously I drooled greedily, but I want to leave it for you to eat!" My daughter's family is just not staying! ”

The kite was embarrassed and said, "I just want to share it with Qilan!" As he spoke, he took my hand and said, "Peel it off!" Peel it off! Taste the sweetness if it's not sweet! ”

I gently scraped the nose of the kite, then picked up the mango, slashed it with a knife, and then grabbed both sides of the mango, and suddenly the mango became two petals!

I picked up half of them and took a big bite under the gaze of Kite and Arashi, ho! It's so astringent! This mango looks so beautiful, but it tastes exceptionally unpalatable. But I turned my head and saw that the kite was looking at me expectantly, wanting to get a satisfactory answer from me, and my heart warmed, and I ate this half without stopping, and tried to show that I was relishing.

When he reached out to take half of it, the kite snatched it up, wrinkled his little nose and said, "It looks delicious!" Thank you for sharing with me! ”

After speaking, he took the half of the mango and took a bite, but the expression on his face was sunny and cloudy, and then cloudy, and it was about to rain. She said to me with a sad face: "It's so unpalatable, why do you eat so delicious?" Are you stupid? Can't tell if it's good or not? ”

I smiled, rubbed my kite's hair and said, "What you gave me is delicious!" It's all sweet! ”

When the kite heard this, she squinted her eyes and smiled, and her smile was very sweet. The elders did not bother us when they saw what we said, but ate their own things and talked about some business matters.

When Lan heard this, he also smiled and whispered: "I smeared honey on my mouth, but it's not sweet!" Okay, everyone else who is sweet has given it to you, so let's eat a non-sweet one to clear your throat! As he spoke, he handed me a bag of fresh betel nuts.

I took the betel nut and sighed slightly. Having long and looking back at Shu is a common problem for everyone. With such a good girl with me in front of me, or two, what am I not satisfied with?

Chewing betel nut and eating the mango stuffed with kites, I can't tell what taste in my heart. But there's one thing that tastes beautiful, and it's called "Present". Cherishing the present is probably the most important thing I should do.

When everyone had gone to sleep, I walked out of the chamber of commerce alone and headed for the sea. The summer night breeze is very cool and makes me feel comfortable. Ever since I came to this world, I've been in a hurry, never seeming to stop and enjoy the scenery around me. After talking to a few elders today, I realized how much beauty I had missed.

Walking to the beach by the sea, I sat down and looked fixedly at the lighthouse in the distance. I love and love me, it seems that I can choose either right, but after all, it is right to be together!

Just then, I heard the sound of footsteps behind me. I don't have to look back to know that it's a kite. She walked up behind me, lightly blindfolded me with her hands, and asked in a rough voice, "Guess who I am?" ”

I couldn't help but chuckle, how old are you still playing this? So I pretended to be surprised and said, "Arashi! There you are! ”

Hearing me call out Lan's name, Kite let go of his hand angrily, snorted and sat down with his back to me, and said, "People are thinking about you, and Baba is running to you, but sir, you only think about Lan!" Hum! ”

I didn't speak, I just reached out and gently rubbed the kite's small earlobe. Tickled by my flesh, the kite giggled and turned her head, looked at me with a grin, and said, "I know you did it on purpose!" Right? ”

Looking at the face in front of me like a blooming flower, and feeling her sincere love for me, I asked softly, "Kite, will you marry me?" ”

Kite was taken aback by my sudden question, and asked blankly, "First...... What do you say, sir? ”

I took the kite by the hand and asked again, "Will you marry me?" ”

This time the kite heard clearly, she knew that she had heard correctly, and her eyes that looked at me were suddenly overflowing with tears, and she screamed and threw herself into my arms and said, "I do!" I do! I do! ”

After we hugged each other tightly on the quiet beach, but didn't notice the fishing boats not far away, Lan sighed silently and quietly turned away......
