"Absolutely. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Jeon Deng offered to start talking about business. Li Dan smiled and nodded in agreement, picked up his pipe from the table and put it in his mouth,

"But...... Now that I've taken so much time out of my time to spend with you, what would it have been if it hadn't been for the fact that you had made me a lot of money...... You should be clear, right? ”

He looked at Xiuguang and the group with somewhat cobra-like eyes.

"This, please rest assured, since we came from Osaka specially, we will naturally not disappoint you."

Under the dark pressure of Li Dan's gaze, Quan Deng still maintained his calm as a samurai.

Looks like if we don't come up with something that interests him, he'll find a way to kill us. It's really possible for this guy to do it. Xiuguang wiped a cold sweat and didn't dare to be careless. He motioned to Quanden and told him to hurry to the point.

"Then, let's explain the situation to you first, Lord Li Dan."

Quan Deng didn't dare to be careless. As the "agent of Osaka Yodoya", he explained his intention to Li Dan:

"We are people sent by Yodoya, a wealthy merchant in Osaka. I am the person in charge of interlocuting with you, and my baptismal name is Hoan. ”

"Yes. You've said it all, Mr. Hoan. Get down to business, don't talk so much nonsense. ”

Regarding Quan Deng's excessive caution, Li Dan seemed a little impatient.

"Yes, yes. We're actually trying to make a big deal with you. ”

"Business? There are so many people who want to talk to me about business every day. What do you want to talk about? What's the 'big' law? ”

"It's about the trade channels of."

"Hmmm......"

When he heard "", Li Dan's eyes were obviously different from just now.

"Oh...... 's trade channels...... That's a really interesting thing. Interesting, interesting. ”

Slowly lit the pipe, took a deep breath and spit it out, Li Dan rolled his eyes, showing great interest.

"But I'll have to ask beforehand. Since you can obtain for me the trade channel of...... So, what do you want from me? ”

Finally got to the point. Xiuguang and Jeon Deng were both a little nervous.

"Lord Li Dan, there shouldn't be outsiders here on your side, right?"

"No, no, you're thinking too much. Just say it, no outsider will dare to eavesdrop on my Li Dan's house. ”

Li Dan waved his hand and made a "click" gesture to erase him if outsiders eavesdropped.

Seeing this, Quan Deng didn't say much more.

"I heard that Lord Li Dan is now engaged in smuggling trade with Daming and many other countries?"

"What are you talking about? I, Li Dan, are engaged in fair and legal trade, so how can I talk about smuggling trade? ”

Regarding Quan Deng's question, Li Dan just smiled with his cheeks raised, and then put on a decent gentleman's tone.

This old fox! Where does legal trade come from! It's really bluffing!

Xiuguang opened his mouth and almost shouted. So he hurriedly signaled to Quan Deng for a direct showdown.

"Lord Li Dan is really good at laughing. I remember that you were born in Quanzhou, Daming, and used to do business in Manila, and then you had a lot of contacts with the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and other countries. You're a big pirate known to the people over there as 'Chinacaptain', and I've heard that you're still in close contact with the merchants of the Ming Dynasty, who have banned trade with the Ming Dynasty. ”

Quan Deng gave out most of the specific information that the Wind Demon could collect about Li Dan,

"Lord Li Dan, we are here to talk about 'business', so please stop joking."

Then Xiuguang pretended to be a child and poked his head out and added:

"Lord Li Dan seems to have a scar on his face! Was it injured when he was a pirate? ”

"Ahem...... I'm sorry about that. ”

There was a feeling of being choked by a child, Li Dan coughed twice and took the pipe away from his mouth.

Exhaled, in the smoke, Li Dan's face looked a little blurred,

"But, I didn't expect you to know so much about me."

"Well, of course. We have important things to discuss with you, so if you don't get to know you well in advance, how can we negotiate? ”

"That's that......"

Directly ignoring Xiuguang's question about the scar at the beginning, Li Dan put down the pipe and shook the ashes, stroked his beard, and finally began to talk about things seriously.

"I'm really in the smuggling trade. The Ming Dynasty, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and those countries in Southeast Asia. What exactly do you want from me? ”

"We didn't have anything to think of. I just hope that you can smuggle the goods of Daming and other countries through the trade channels of to for sale, which is equivalent to allowing the region to build a trade route with Daming and other countries. ”

“……”

"In addition to the channel aspect, the required tariffs will also be subtracted. I don't know if Lord Li Dan accepts such a condition? ”

“……”

From the time Quan Deng began to describe the conditions, Li Dan had been holding his chin, squinting his eyes and not speaking, not knowing what he was thinking, and he seemed to have noticed something.

Because of Li Dan's short silence, the atmosphere in the room was a little tense.

"I've been thinking about it since the beginning......"

Suddenly, he stood up from his chair and slowly paced around the room.

"Your identities are suspicious...... It is also to obtain trade channels, and it is also to reduce tariffs...... None of this is something that ordinary people can do. ”

While pacing, Li Dan thought about this business full of "doubts" as usual.

"Ladies of you, it is said that they are people sent by Yodoya, a wealthy merchant in Osaka...... Could it be that someone from Osaka Castle was actually sent? ”

was guessed by Li Dan. But this is a matter of time, after all, with Li Dan's shrewdness, it is not strange to guess that it is the Toyotomi family behind it. And according to Hidemitsu's assumption, he will definitely know that the Toyotomi family is behind.

Keen insight and cunning cultivated through years of exposure to business are the foundation of Li Dan's foothold in Hirado and other regions.

"Lord Li Dan, we are indeed people sent by Osaka's wealthy merchant Yodoya. You don't have to doubt it too much. These conditions were also told to us by Yodoya's owner, Lord Tokoyasu. As for who is behind Lord Chang'an, we don't know. We're just ordinary agents sent by Yodoya. ”

Quan Deng smiled, and explained clearly the situation of his group and the Yodoya behind him in a very ambiguous way.

The more ambiguous the statement, the more Li Dan will think about a lot of things and consider a lot of things. But this is also one of Xiuguang's expectations.

Li Dan stopped pacing at the table, tapping on the smooth-looking tabletop, thinking secretly in his mind.
