215 The Old Men Meet
"This time I brought more food, and the pig iron resources will be 10,000 catties less, but I will make up for the vacancy next month."
As a good hand in foreign trade with the Shark Gang, Huang Zijian once again escorted the goods to a remote island in the Indonesian archipelago to hand over to Zheng Zhilong, the Flying Dragon Gang who had been waiting for a long time.
"This is not good, you should know that it is okay to talk about food, but in terms of pig iron resources, our consumption is huge, and we would rather have more than less."
Zheng Zhilong frowned and replied a little unhappily.
"This is also just in time for spring ploughing, most of the manpower has to go home for farming on vacation, and there is a shortage of manpower in mines and casting plants."
Huang Zijian explained embarrassedly, after all, the good contract was flawed because of their own problems, and the responsibility naturally fell on them.
"But now that the spring ploughing has passed, our workers will be able to work without distractions, and they will definitely not delay their business again!"
"I hope so!"
Zheng Zhilong finally had to accept Huang Zijian's reason, the relationship between the two sides now has a solid foundation in more than a dozen cooperations, and it is impossible for cracks to appear because of this matter.
"But hopefully next time you'll bring more supplies, and we can pay more."
"No problem!"
Huang Zijian patted his chest and gave Zheng Zhilong a satisfactory answer, but Huang Zijian was also confident that if they hadn't deliberately hindered Zheng Zhilong's strength, their Shark Gang would have been able to provide more resources to the Flying Dragon Gang.
"This is what you need, a thousand-material Clark sail battleship, there are four hundred Indian slaves on board, and we are not responsible for the death of people after handing it over to you!"
The two small fleets converged with each other and completed the handover in this vast ocean, and countless sailors were busy carrying them on the rickety first class. At the same time, a new ship that originally belonged to the Wyvern Gang and still exuded a few traces of tung oil also merged into the fleet of the Shark Gang, and dozens of Wyvern Gang members turned the ship behind them from the ship, giving control of the ship to the Shark Gang who boarded the ship.
"However, this time you asked me to hand over the letter in person, so it must be more than that, right?"
After Zheng Zhilong completed the handover, he began to ask Huang Zijian unhurriedly at this time.
"Ah, really, but I have to ask Gang Leader Zheng to stay a little longer, my Gang Leader is on his way!"
Huang Zijian did not hide it, and immediately told the reason for inviting Zheng Zhilong to come one by one.
"Oh? Li Tiansheng's gang leader came to see me in person, it seems that something big has happened! ”
Zheng Zhilong was stunned, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his eyes.
Waiting for time passes very slowly, but there are always many ways to kill time when you are used to waiting for people at sea, but what Huang Zijian didn't expect was that the seemingly rough Zheng Zhilong's way to kill time was the most patient fishing.
"It's coming!!"
In fact, without Huang Zijian's greeting, the sailors of the Flying Dragon Gang could see the gray-white smoke floating in the sky, which was so conspicuous on the blue sea.
Accompanied by a long and ethereal pillar of smoke, the long and narrow shadow of the ship on the eastern sea approached the area where the two fleets were handed over at a slow and rapid speed.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm one step late, let Gang Master Zheng wait for a long time!!"
On the bow of the ship, Li Tiansheng, who was not so much a giant, but a courteous scholar, stood on the deck and bowed to Zheng Zhilong, who was fishing on the pole on the flagship of the Flying Dragon Gang, and apologized first.
"Just in time, just in time to taste this big fish I tuned!!"
Zheng Zhilong quickly pulled the fishing rod in his hand, and under the straightening of the fishing line, the reaction force pulled the fishing rod into a bend and a half moon.
Not long after, a rain of arrows weighing almost ten catties was skillfully pulled onto Class A by Zheng Zhilong, who still had spare strength, and handed over to the sailors on the side.
"Good fishing skills, they all say that the Flying Dragon Gang helps Zheng Zhilong to be moody, in my opinion, they are all blind, Zheng Gang Master's temperament is excellent!"
Li Tiansheng did not become angry because Zheng Zhilong was slacking off in fishing before, but stated a fact he saw with appreciation.
"Hehe, it's just a trick of a rough man to pass the time, where is it worthy of Gang Master Li's high esteem."
A smile flashed on Zheng Zhilong's face, and then he made a gesture of invitation and invited Li Tiansheng to board the ship.
"But Gang Leader Li is also blessed, this fresh swordfish is a delicacy to accompany wine in the Wa Kingdom, I wonder if Gang Leader Li is interested in having a drink together?"
"Don't you dare to ask for ears!"
Li Tiansheng ignored the worried and obstructive looks of the Shark Gang, and calmly accepted the invitation.
"But there is also a distinguished guest below, who happens to admire the name of the Zheng gang leader, I wonder if we can join us?"
"Gang Master Li's distinguished guest must also be a person with a head and a face, I Zheng Zhilong can't ask for it!"
Zheng Zhilong smiled heartily and agreed.
"Then thank you Zheng Gang Master!"
A figure slowly paced out of Li Tiansheng's car, the voice made Zheng Zhilong vaguely feel a little familiar, and as the figure was exposed in broad daylight, Zheng Zhilong's hearty smile suddenly became sluggish.
"Is that you? How did you end up here? ”
Zheng Zhilong's smile gradually converged, replaced by a rich and gloomy atmosphere.
"I haven't seen you for many years, but Gang Master Zheng still has the same demeanor!"
The visitor slowly raised his head, but it was Gan Dabiao, the Minister of Finance of Hongmen, who was supposed to be in Keelung County, as the first brother of Hongmen's finance, and now he left Dayuan Island and came to this distant sea, I am afraid that no one thought of it.
With Gan Dabiao's status and strength now, and the existence that can make him run errands and come here, except for the name that he has been unable to let go, Zheng Zhilong can't think of anyone else.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?"
Zheng Zhilong was murderous and fiercely threatened, completely ignoring the existence of his ally Li Tiansheng and him and the Flying Dragon Gang.
"Hehe, why bother?"
Gan Dabiao is also a person who has experienced the big rivers and waves, although his nature is a little greedy for life and afraid of death, but Li Tianyang has analyzed all kinds of negotiations with him, plus his own analysis, but he is quite sure to ensure that Zheng Zhilong will not break out and hurt people, not to mention that there is Li Tiansheng's Flying Dragon Gang on the side, and the steamship is ready to escape at any time, but Gan Dabiao is full of confidence.
"When you see each other, you have to ask for a sip of wine and have a chat!"
"Don't you want to know how your two brothers are doing?"
"You! Say! What the? ”
Zheng Zhilong's heart was shocked, staring at Gan Dabiao's eyes and asking word by word.
"Your two brothers, Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhibao, let me bring you a hello!"
Gan Dabiao answered Zheng Zhilong's question with a kind expression.
