Chapter 5 To the Republic of Lanfang 2

Zhang Lei was completely blind, he couldn't understand Cantonese. At this time, Zhang Lei remembered that most of the people who dared to go to sea in this era and could go to sea were basically from Guangdong and Fujian. Speaking Cantonese accent is very serious, at this time there is no Mandarin.

Wang Kun saw Zhang Lei's deflated appearance, smiled happily and replied in Cantonese: "I am a maritime merchant under Weifeng Company!" I'm not what you said about Heshun Company! ”

Wang Kun, who knows history relatively well, knows that the Chinese in history still have a strong sense of region. There may be historical reasons for this, there are reasons for the large geographical span, but there are also linguistic reasons. The dialect of the same place is the same, and it is easier to communicate, imagine how happy it is to hear the familiar local sound in a strange place.

So when a group of people feel threatened all the time, it is natural to find fellow villagers. Because at times like these, they may trust their fellow countrymen more, and in fact they do just that. Whether it is a scholar, a businessman, or a soldier, whether at home or abroad. They all believe that free huddles are the only way to compete with their opponents. For example, there are township parties who read, and typical ones are Zhejiang party and Donglin party. Merchants have merchant gangs, representatives include Jin merchants and Hui merchants, and so on.

Take this Lanfang country as an example, as far as Wang Kun knows, almost all the great rulers in history are Luo Fangbo's fellow villagers.

So since the other party has heard that he is not their fellow villager, Wang Kun also made it clear that he is just a maritime businessman, not here to fight for territory with them.

"Lie to me less! also said that it was not Heshun Company, do you think you can deceive me by changing your name? What the hell do you want to do? Liu San didn't seem to be very satisfied with the other party's answer.

Now Wang Kun was also dumbfounded, the other party was not satisfied with this answer, and this is the second time that the other party has mentioned 'Heshun Company', it seems that the other party is still very jealous of this Heshun Company.

In fact, it's no wonder that Wang Kun doesn't know that at this time, Lan Fangguo has not completely ruled West Borneo, and at this time, there is a Dai Yanguo who is not dealing with them. In addition, as an alliance of fourteen companies, Heshun Company Alliance also has the strength to fight with Lan Fangguo. And they did fight, but they lost.

Although Wang Kun didn't know this history, he still had to pass this level at the moment, and he was only here to trade, and he would not compete with them for the dominance of Borneo.

In fact, Wang Kun still doesn't look down on Borneo, which is not only barren in land, but also lacks mineral resources. The few gold mines are also running out, so Borneo is really not attractive to Wang Kun.

After thinking about it, Wang Kun still replied: "We are Weifeng Company, our company is in Temasek, and we are here to do business with you." And we came right here right from Temasek, so we're not what you call Heshun. ”

"Really? Then why haven't I heard of your Weifeng company? ”

"Of course you haven't heard of it, this is the first time we've come to Borneo, don't worry that we will come more in the future, so that you will know about our Lanfang Company in the future."

Hearing this, Liu San seemed to believe it a little, but after thinking about it, he still felt that it was wrong.

"It's still not right, since you're from Temasek, how can you not know about Heshun? I was almost deceived by you, so what do you want to do, if you don't say anything, I'll release the arrow! ”

"Huh! Little brother, you are quite clever, as for why you don't know about Heshun Company. That's because we only went to Temasek last year, and we've been packing up the crops, but since it's the first year to grow crops overseas, the harvest is definitely not enough, so I think it's up to a few of us to come here and buy some food with you. ”

"You have no rules, such a small person still calls me little brother, that's how your adults taught you?"

Wang Kun touched his face unconsciously, his face had indeed become too young, and he was a little uncomfortable, and he was actually despised.

Before Wang Kun could answer, Liu San said again: "I don't know if what you said is true, even if what you say is true." Then your ship has no sails, why did it go so fast just now? ”

Wang Kun has an urge to vomit blood, is there anything to do with Nima? However, Wang Kun couldn't help but answer.

"As for why this ship can go on its own without wind, we naturally have our own way. It's the power of the machine, you won't understand it when I say it, but you can come up and take a look, we can keep you safe, we only do business and nothing else! ”

Wang Kun felt that although he told them about the machine or something at this time, they still couldn't understand it, and they couldn't accept it for the time being. However, Wang Kun feels that he still has to say that even if he can't accept it now, he will definitely be able to find a suitable place to develop industry after two or three years. At that time, the machine will definitely be used in large numbers, and they will definitely be surprised when the time comes. I just moved the time forward by two or three years.

"How can I trust you? What if you kill us after I go up? ”

The personnel of the two parties are more than 100 meters apart in this way, and one person stands on the bow of a boat, and you and I exchange words and words.

"If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't have wasted so much time with you here, and besides, this place is so close to the port, what are you afraid of? This is your territory, and we should be the ones who are afraid, right? ”

At this point, Zhang Lei also understood, just this person's vigilance, it's embarrassing to be so timid, you won't even raise the alarm at the very least. As a scout, when you think we're a dangerous target, shouldn't you set off a firework or something to notify the port?

Liu San thought about it, and there was Nanba Wow Port behind him, where there was a brother sitting there, what were he afraid of? Besides, even if they dare to do evil, the great system will not let them go.

And even if they wanted to kill themselves now, they would not have the power to resist.

There must be more than these two people in such a big ship, and they always feel like they are in danger, and the other two can be so indifferent when they are pointed at by arrows, they must have something to rely on. Instead of cowering like this, it is better to be generous, but it seems that it is the work of the big husband.

Thinking of this, Liu San was a bachelor, and as soon as he put the bow and arrow away, he directly carried it on his back.

"Okay, I want to see what tricks you play, no matter what tricks you play, don't try to fool me Liu San!" After speaking, he motioned to the thin monkey to row the boat towards the other party.

The thin monkey who got the instructions also breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he couldn't fight, he was just a small character, and he came all the way overseas to make more money. I came back to life on the sea of nine deaths, and I just died here at the beginning, who to reason with.

Seeing that the other party put down his bow and arrow, Zhao Shichang also breathed a sigh of relief and put down the 38 rifle in his hand. Although his own sniper rifle is the best, but there are too few bullets, and one shot will be missing. And even with the current opponent 38 rifle, it is enough to be proud. I looked up at the two goods on the bow of the boat, Nima! You pretend to be forced in the front and let Lao Tzu be on guard in the back, and you have to lose yourself to being a first-class sniper.

Yes, the reason why Wang Kun and Zhang Lei dared to be so calm was because they believed that as long as the other side dared to make a move, Zhao Shichang would definitely shoot before the other party and kill them with one shot. This is the trust honed by years of being born and dying together.

Liu San slowly approached the other party's fishing boat, and the closer he got closer, the more amazed he became. The other party's boat is not known what it is made of, and it has never seen such a ship before. Because the look of this ship is so special, the bottom is blue, although it is a little faded, but that's not the point, the bow is on stilts, and the top is all white. There is actually a floor of house on the deck, and it is so narrow. This...... The ship...... What if he encounters a stormy day?

In fact, if Liu San is good at physics, this sentence must be clear. Your ship is narrow enough, and you're still building houses on deck, and you're building the center of gravity so high. How did you get here?

The reason why Liu San is shocked and strange is mainly because this fishing boat is a second-hand ocean-going trawler that he just bought three years ago. Although it was second-hand, the fishing boat had not been used for a few years, and because the owner was bankrupt, he was anxious to sell the fishing boat and run away. So I was picked up by Wang Kun and bought it cheaply.

This is a 2,100-ton ocean-going trawler, which Wang Kun has undergone extensive modifications since he bought it. All the useless fishing tools were removed, and the freezer used to hold fish was converted into a regular warehouse, and large fuel and water tanks were installed. It allows it to be filled with more diesel and fresh water. This makes it possible to stay at sea for a longer period of time, because being a mercenary can sometimes be too uncertain.

Seeing the small sampan approaching the fishing boat, Zhang Lei lowered the soft ladder and pulled the two up. Seeing the shocked expressions of the two, Zhang Lei's mood at the moment was extremely happy and comfortable.

Liu San's heart was extremely shocked at this moment, and he assured Mazu Niangniang that this was the most powerful ship he had ever seen in his life, and it was more shocking than the Westerners' big running boats. It wasn't very obvious from the opposite side just now, but now it's on the side and up to the deck. Liu San really didn't have the words to describe it, and he would have read more books if he knew it. Anyway, the ship is awesome.

Right! This ship is awesome!

"Two big brothers, how is this ship? You alright! Yes? Ha ha! Wang Kun also began to get nervous, and then said: "I said that I won't hurt you, we only do business." Oh! That's right! Let me introduce myself, I am the general manager of Wei Feng Company, my name is Wang Kun, these two are my brothers named Zhang Lei and Zhao Shichang respectively, you Lan Fangguo will not sell us things, right? ”

Saying that, Wang Kun pointed to the two of them and introduced them to each other, although the other party may only be a small character, but after all, it is a newcomer who still needs to know more about the situation. So it's much more convenient to shake the other party with a boat first, and then talk to each other, and how much useful you can get depends on luck.

"Oh...... Oh? Oh! I...... My name is Liu San, his name is Thin Monkey, I, we are the sailors of Lan Fangguo, as long as we have money, we can buy and sell anyone, even if we don't have money to go out, will we help each other! Hehe! Brother, do you think that's the reason? ”

Wang Kun saw that this exchange was becoming more and more friendly, and began to call him a brother. Then he invited the two of them into the cabin and took the big ship back to the port, and the two of them were curious and readily agreed. After the boat started, there was indeed no wind on its own, and the two were amazed again and again. Then Wang Kun took the opportunity to talk nonsense, and also set up a lot of useful things, one of the two of them had gained knowledge, and the other got useful news, so this way can be said to be a very happy conversation.
