In the next two days, Meng Fei and the others came into contact with other predecessors, but they gradually had more troubles, at least not as smoothly as before.

"Big brother, I've already inquired, the shopkeeper who asked us to put down his cruel words two days ago was originally a member of the maritime merchant who had contacts with the Shark Gang, his surname was Yufei, and later after the Shark Gang annexed it for my Hong Dynasty, it was logical for him to have a friendship with my Hong Dynasty Qixintang."

"A few years ago, this Ma Yufei didn't know how to hook up with Jiang Zhengyu, the director in charge of trade at the Manila Commercial Bureau of the Hong Dynasty, and married his cousin to the other party, so he has a lot of status and strength in this Manila city, so arrogant."

Meng Fei went to visit all kinds of businesses and build relationship channels, while Bi Yong took people around the city and inquired about the origin of the guy who talked to them harshly two days ago.

"Oh!"

After Meng Fei heard the other party's origin, his mood became more relaxed, the other party's fierce intimidation did not match his real background, and in the past few days, it was relatively difficult to find a buyer, but there were still many buyers who revealed that they did not care about Ma Yufei's background.

"Thank you for your hard work, my side of the trading channels also have some eyebrows, it is estimated that in a few days, we will be able to complete the transaction and go home."

"That's good!"

Bi Yong saw Meng Fei's self-confidence, and the familiarity brought about by getting along for a long time, which made his heart relax.

Sure enough, ten years after Meng Fei arrived at the Port of Manila, they finally found a firm with the right purchase price and the willingness to form a long-term relationship with them.

One of the most satisfying things for Meng Fei is that the proprietor of this trading house is a Westerner, and he is said to be a knight of the Kingdom of Spain, and he also has his own trading house in the port of Batavia, which is also an important reason why Meng Fei is willing to make a deal with him.

The greatest benefit of a real ocean trade trip is to transport the goods directly to Batavia and Malacca, which belong to the territory controlled by Westerners and Han Chinese, at least after Meng Fei was influenced by Qiao's family and other old seafarers, a deep-rooted idea buried in his heart.

Therefore, even though it was only the first time that Meng Fei was doing business in Manila at this time, he had already begun to lay the foundation for continuing to advance westward in the future.

Today's transaction is that Tom, a Westerner, brought people to the port to help Meng Fei and them unload the goods and disembark the ship, and then transfer them to his own warehouse.

"This rumor is really true, Westerners are very serious about the spirit of this contract, after negotiating the deal, they must first sign a contract with us, and then they are willing to trade with us."

Meng Fei, who came out of a small county in Shandong, naturally rarely had the opportunity to deal with Westerners, but from folk rumors and contact and understanding over time, they learned some Westerners' habits, communication methods, and so on.

At this time, Meng Fei, who had completed a major event in his heart, couldn't help but make fun of watching the goods be transported out of the cabin one by one and handed over to the other party.

"Who's to say it isn't!"

Han businessmen do business, although they pay attention to the word integrity, but it is very rare to say that they can do it like Westerners, signing a contract first and then making a transaction.

"By the way, did we pick out the dozens of silk horses that were damp?"

Thinking of the goods, Meng Fei suddenly remembered the problem of silk that was soaked in the rain when he encountered the storm, and hurriedly asked Bi Yong, who took care of the goods.

"This is also the first time to do business with Tom, a Westerner, let's at least let the other party see our sincerity and lay a good foundation for future cooperation."

"Don't worry, big brother, as early as the night we arrived at the port of Apari, I had already arranged for someone to clean up the damp goods, and at the same time carefully inspected our other goods, and there were no major mistakes."

Bi Yong patted his chest and reassured.

"What about the damp silks?"

Meng Fei nodded with satisfaction, and then asked casually.

"The silk was damp and salted by seawater, and it had already faded, so I hired a grocery store here and sold it at a low price."

Looking at the busy coolies, carrying Meng Fei's goods on their ship up and down, and seeing that these goods could be turned into white flowers and golden money, Meng Fei and Bi Yong finally showed a bright smile on their faces.

"Stop, stop, I'll open this box!!"

The sudden movement of the foreigner Tom made Meng Fei and them stunned, and then hurriedly ran over to see what was going on.

"What's the matter, Mr. Tom?"

Meng Fei asked with a soft smile.

"Something is wrong with you cargo, how do I feel a moist smell."

Tom touched the well-packed wooden box, felt the damp smell on the wooden box, and said with a frown.

"Didn't I explain this to you before? The wooden crates were damp because of a big storm on our way and water seepage into the hold. ”

"However, these goods are mainly porcelain for ballast goods, and even if they are damp, it will not hinder your secondary sales."

When Meng Fei heard this, he politely explained.

"However, the contract we signed before clearly stipulates that all goods guarantee its quality, although according to what you said, moisture does not affect sales, but we will re-wash and pack this batch of goods, bringing risks and costs, but you have not considered it!"

"Therefore, I have the right to deduct 10% of the total price according to the contract I signed before, as the price of the problem with your goods."

"It can't be!"

Meng Fei immediately exploded like thunder, and resolutely refused on the spot.

It's just a joke, one percent of the total price, for them, is equivalent to almost 13 profits from this ocean trade, and it is impossible for anyone else to agree.

"We're not going to do it!"

"Someone, bring me the goods!"

Meng Fei immediately made a decision, and gave an order directly with a calm face.

"I'm sorry, if you want to go back, then according to the contract, you not only need to return the deposit I paid, but also pay me double the deposit for liquidated damages."

"It's written in black and white on our contract, and there are your signatures on it, so it's not good for you to do something you regret!"

Tom reversed the face that had been chatting with Meng Fei happily before, as if his face had changed, with a sneer, he forcefully took out the contract that had been prepared a long time ago, pointed to one of the lines, and showed Meng Fei a hideous method: "If you refuse to execute, then I will use this contract and existing evidence to apply to the Commercial Bureau and the trial court for the government to make a judgment." ”
