After all the hardships, when Meng Fei and them set foot in the port of Manila, they suddenly felt emotion in their hearts.

After their previous experience in Keelung Port, the bustling Manila port scene at this time did not make Meng Fei feel much emotion and shock.

"Hello, please show your ID."

They were all the territory of the Hong Dynasty, and the management method was roughly the same as in Keelung Harbor, so when a small, thin and dark local native, who spoke Mandarin, questioned Meng Fei and them, Meng Fei and the others easily handed over their documents.

After some investigation after boarding the port, Meng Fei did not let the captain hire coolies to unload the cargo, but took Bi Yong and a few subordinates off the ship, entered the port city of Manila, and went to find a partner first.

Manila's prosperity is comparable to that of Keelung Port, after all, this is the closest trade transit point between the Hong Dynasty and the South Seas.

Most Westerners, who do not have a deep background, or in order to save time from the south to the north, are more willing to leave their footprints in the East here.

However, in terms of architectural form, the style of Manila City is very different from that of Keelung County.

Manila City, which was conquered and built by Westerners for decades, although it has also been in the hands of Li Tianyang of the Hong Dynasty for more than ten years, but you can still vaguely see the huge specifications of Westerners' stone buildings; The Keelung City, which was built by Li Tianyang and them, although the materials used have become somewhat uniform due to the popularity of cement, they still maintain the simple and connotative style of many oriental buildings.

However, in the city of Manila, the faces of Westerners are no longer scarce, and there are countless Westerners of various faces who walk in the streets, and there are even Westerners who open a grocery store, go to the street to shout, and invite customers to enter, but there is not much difference from the Hong Dynasty people to do business, which brings Meng Fei's impression of Westerners closer to them.

The Manila Exchange is an important trading venue opened by the Hong Dynasty government in the west area of the wharf following the Western trading method, and it is also an important trading venue for newcomers like Meng Fei and others who choose to complete their first transaction here when they trade for the first time.

Of course, this exchange is not the other exchange, the exchange here is established for the convenience of buyers and sellers, and it is a place where various trading information can be hung, rather than a place for full-time financial stocks like in Keelung County, Hong Dynasty.

“…… We have long-term acquisition of Oriental Jingdezhen porcelain, and the price is negotiable. Address: No. 22 Hongdu Street, Golden Unicorn Company. ”

“…… My firm has a large number of silk for sale, excellent quality, affordable price, if you want to talk in detail, please go to the Hongdu Street No. 1 'Youjian' Inn, to find Cao Shopkeeper to talk in detail! ”

The exchange is very lively, Orientals, Westerners, and local natives are people coming and going, although there is no ordinary shouting and shouting when buying and selling, but there are also many people of all kinds of people for the sale of the voice, the sound of discussion.

Meng Fei walked around the exchange for most of the day, and gained a lot of business information that was interested in purchasing the goods in their hands, and at the same time, they did not forget to sell their own sales information, and after paying a little monetary price, there were staff members who wrote the information they released on a board newspaper, and then hung it in the spacious hall of the exchange for people to view.

In the next few days, according to the information they collected, Meng Fei found merchants who were interested in purchasing goods, but in the end, due to various reasons, no deal was reached, but it also made Meng Fei and them more or less have a certain judgment on the value of the goods in their hands.

At the same time, some people took the initiative to come to the door and ask Meng Fei about the sale of the goods in their hands, but for some reasons, they did not reach a large-scale sale.

This is also the advice of Qiao Dangjia when they parted from the Qiao family before: the first time to do business in Manila, the first thing you need is not only to consider the issue of interests, but also to familiarize yourself with the business environment in Manila, and to find a potential partner as much as possible, so as to be able to do business for a long time.

"Shopkeeper Meng, I heard that you have been in Manila City for four or five days, and you have not completed a single transaction so far, do you really think that the goods in your hands are in short supply?"

There is an inn today, and it is a powerful local businessman in Manila who visited Meng Fei, although he is also a Han Chinese, but the other party's intention is to make Meng Fei feel unhappy, at least the other party's tone is very tough.

"Shopkeeper Ma, the matter of buying and selling is what you and I want, the price you offered does not match my expectations, is it wrong that I don't want to sell?"

Dream Gift is not a person without temper, although it is said that harmony makes money, but the price given by this guest today is lower than the price of those merchants they contacted before, and Meng Fei is naturally even more unlikely to make a move.

"Good!"

The person known as the horse shopkeeper glared at the person in front of him with a fierce face: "Then I want to see, who are you going to sell this goods to?" ”

"Shopkeeper, are you a threat?"

Meng Fei was also angry, but he was suppressed by him, as the saying goes, strong dragons do not suppress the head snake, they first came to the ramp, in the face of such characters everywhere, Meng Fei was not very afraid, but he didn't want to completely tear his face with people.

"Then it depends on what you think! The shopkeeper was noncommittal, and then raised his hand and saluted: "Farewell!" ”

Then the other party left Shanshan, no longer nostalgic for half a minute.

After the other party left, Bi Yong, who had been silent before, finally spoke at this time: "Big brother, why don't we contact the previous ones again, and leave here as soon as possible!" ”

"Why?"

Meng Fei raised his head, stared at his companion in front of him and asked, "Are we just going to do this one transaction?" If you are weak and soft this time, then you will not be bullied by the other party all the time when you go to Manila in the future? ”

"This ......"

To tell the truth, in addition to the risk of storms at sea before, after arriving in Manila, Bi Yong and his contacts learned that the value and benefits of these living creatures they brought were really good.

If he gave up such a channel to make money, Bi Yong himself felt extremely pity, so in the face of the problem of the dream belt, the hesitation on Bi Yong's face flashed, and he wanted to continue to say something, but finally held back.

"I don't believe it, in such a big city, he is just a commercial bank, can he really cover the sky with one hand?"

Meng Fei solemnly looked at the distant ocean and muttered to himself.
