The visit time of the Yangtze River No. 1 lasts for three days, divided into three time periods in the morning, noon and evening, each time the number enters the cabin to visit, in fact, the most valuable visit of the whole ship is the steam engine room on the first floor of the cabin, and the core area of the whole ship is here.

Except for here, other places are not much different from other ocean-going sailing ships, after all, Lin Wendong is just a modification of the first deck of the cabin, which is said to be a modification, but in fact, it is a steam power plant.

After the visit, the Governor of Batavia, Van Dimen, specially invited Lin Wendong and Qi Yu to dinner, and in order to welcome the distinguished guests, the people attending the dinner included almost the entire Batavian high society.

Qi Yu didn't expect that it was just a visit, but it could be exchanged for such a high salary, it was unimaginable.

In fact, the Dutch had a very simple idea, they had a very big interest in Australian ships, and even hoped to buy a few such ships, without wind power, relying on their own power to run ships, it can be said that it was the first of its kind, the shock to them was simply too great, if they could form such a fleet, the time from the east to the west would be shortened, so that there was no need to wait for the monsoon season to sail.

Naturally, such a major event as exporting steam sailing ships is not something that Lin Wendong can do, and Australia itself is not equipped with such ships, and even if there is, it is impossible to export them to the Netherlands.

Although there are no clear restrictions on the import and export of weapons and equipment in China, anyone who has come over will understand that exporting high-end weapons and advanced technology means reducing their competitiveness, not to mention that the Dutch are not weak in the Far East, and even they have the ability to annihilate the crossers in one fell swoop.

Although Van Dimen, who received an accurate answer, was a little disappointed, he was not annoyed, it was impossible to rob openly, the Australians could build ships like this, and the weapons were sharper, not to mention that they had seen how the Australians beat pirates, and the pirates had no power to fight back against them.

Without fully understanding their opponents, the Dutch did not want to introduce themselves with a formidable enemy, after all, the Spaniards were still watching, and once they felt that they had an opportunity, they would not let go of such an opportunity.

So at the end of the dinner, the two sides were quite happy, although they did not reach an agreement on enough ships, but at least the two sides reached several economic and trade cooperation, such as Qi Yu signed a long-term supply agreement with the local chamber of commerce, what cotton, cotton, cane sugar, and other things signed a lot of orders, these orders can be regarded as indirectly promoting the economic development of Batavia, Van Dimen will naturally not be too harsh on Australians.

Qi Yu came to Batavia for the purpose of purchasing materials, in addition to purchasing cheap materials, he also had to bring a few sets of glass for sale, these cups are more than 10,000 taels of silver according to the previous price, but recently because of the perfect two Ming trade trips, the glasses brought with him are a lot, although they are sold in the Ming Dynasty, but some merchants are sold to Nanyang merchants at a high price.

The Nanyang merchant took the glass and sold it to the Dutch and Spaniards at a high price, and the direct consequence of such a resale was that the glass that was originally about 10,000 taels was now 18,000 taels tall, and even Qi Yu regretted it a little after the price, originally thought that it was closer to Australia and the price would not be too high, but now it was exactly the opposite of what he thought.

However, the price of 11,000 taels is also very high, and the glass brought out this time was snapped up by merchants from all over the world in Batavia City in less than a day's work, and even many people offered to give Qi Yu a deposit, hoping to buy it when he arrived next time.

Qi Yu was surprised to find that he seemed to have come to Batavia this time, this business is very good, and now what he lacks most is money, with money, he can expand his shop, and at the same time be able to buy the new steam sail carrier in the shipyard.

But not only that, can these people trust themselves without reservation, hand over the deposit to themselves, and are not afraid of running away and not giving him the goods?

In fact, the deposit is not much, and it is generally given a hundred taels of silver, which may be a lot in Qi Yu's opinion, but in the eyes of these maritime merchants, a hundred taels of silver is equivalent to an investment, even if the Australians lose their words, they will not lose much, after all, it is only one hundred taels.

The deposit Qi Yu received, and happily signed the contract, the delivery date was put in two months, which was the latest, in fact, he was just a little afraid to guarantee how long the next voyage would take, this time he came out to purchase a lot of goods, it was impossible to rely on the Yangtze River No. 1 transportation alone, so he hired two local Dutch merchant ships to help transport the goods.

Transporting goods to the Australian mainland, this is a good deal, if you can buy glasses directly from their mainland, I believe it is definitely much cheaper than buying them in Batavia, the owners of these two ships are overjoyed, and repeatedly ask for Qi Yu to reduce the transportation costs.

For the benefits of this kind of door-to-door delivery, Qi Yu can say that it is not in vain, doing business is about saving costs, and if you can reduce the cost, you can make more profits.

In the palace of the Governor Van Diemen, two captains of Dutch merchant ships were respectfully in front of him.

"Kyle, is it true that Australia is going to hire your ship to deliver goods to the Australian mainland?" Van Diemen had always been very curious about the Australian mainland, not so much about the steam steam steam shuai, after all, he wanted to know what it was like to be able to build a steam steamboat.

In the world of Westerners, the East is full of magic and wealth, and there are many unpredictable things, and the appearance of Australia makes him even more sure that these Australians who come from the same ancestor as the Ming Dynasty are also full of magic and have many unsolved mysteries.

If they can enter their homeland, then it is conceivable that many things can be successfully cracked, but only if they have such an opportunity.

"Very well, Kyle, you are doing a very good job, tomorrow I will arrange for a few people to come to your ship, and they will follow you into Australia as if nothing had happened."

Van Dimen thought about it and decided to send a few spies into Australia to investigate and see how the country was, if they were as powerful as he imagined, and if so, then he would form an alliance with Australia to fight the Spaniards, if it was just a false appearance, then he would not mind expanding an additional colony for the Dutch East India Company.

If Qi Yu knew Fan Dimen's thoughts at this time, he would definitely vomit blood.
