Chapter 16: This Chicken Is Awesome (Ask for Recommendations!) Collect! )
Under Wang Kun's coercion and temptation, Cheng Luo and Xie Wu finally agreed. So Wang Kun has now officially accepted it, the little brother he accepted for the first time after coming to this world. Regardless of ability or character, take it first.
Wang Kun believes that more people will be accepted in the future, after all, it is impossible to rely on the three of them to develop slowly in the future. Therefore, there are still many people who have to work for themselves, like today, who are busy from morning to evening, and as a result, they almost put their lives into it without selling their things. If it could be handed over to the people of this era today, this matter should be much easier.
Just like now Wang Kun looks at Cheng Luo in front of him, and at first glance, he looks like a person who has been adrift on the sea all year round. So Wang Kun felt that he should be very familiar with this sea area, which is why Wang Kun finally found a way to get him on the boat.
Because Wang Kun wanted to find an agent in the Nanyang region, he said that he wanted to let the other party take refuge in him at this time, and Wang Kun also felt unrealistic. There are three young people in total, and the two middle-aged people on the other side are both generals who have been leading the army for many years. They also have their own arrogance, so Wang Kun doesn't think that the other party is willing to recognize himself as the boss now, and it is impossible for the other party to concentrate on doing things under him.
People like this who have just experienced failure will not be defeated so easily, they must be thinking about making a career and then finding a career.
Wang Kun was looking at Cheng Luo and Xie Wu, and Cheng Luo and Xie Wu were now watching everything on the ship with great interest. Everything on the ship is strange to the two of them, whether it is the shape of the ship, the steel used to build the ship, the shipbuilding process, or why it can be windless and self-contained, Cheng Luo is extremely curious.
Cheng Luo is not a turtle like Liu San who has never seen the market, just because Liu San has never seen the world, so Liu San is just shocked, curious and incredible. And Cheng Luo, as a person who has been adrift at sea for nearly ten years, what kind of ship has he not seen, and what kind of strange things have he not seen?
Cheng Luo himself has also been to Batavia to see the Hongmaoyi people, to India to see the Britons, and also to see their galleons blowing into the sky. I have never seen such a magical big ship, if two ships fight, this is probably even without a cannon can sink each other!
It was because he had seen the world that Cheng Luo was even more shocked, more curious about how it was made, and more curious about how it ran up.
I couldn't help it, Cheng Luo still asked: "Hmm! Well, I want to ask how the ship runs? Before Wang Kun and the others could answer, Cheng Luo hurriedly said: "It may be a bit abrupt, I know that magical skills like this are generally not passed on, it doesn't matter if you don't say it, I'm just curious to ask." ”
Cheng Luo also knows that there is a good way to make the boat windless on its own, which is usually a secret passed down by other people's families, and it is generally not known to anyone. But I'm too curious, and I really want to know why.
Hearing what he said, Wang Kun also smiled, since the ship left Nanbawa Port, Cheng Luo kept looking at it, and frowned and thought about it from time to time. It's as if I really want to figure out all this based on what I have seen and heard.
"The ship was originally converted from an ocean-going trawler, with a full load displacement of 2,100 tons, a maximum speed of 21 knots, and a cruising speed of 10 to 16 knots per hour for more than a month. As for what you are most concerned about, how does it go? Speaking of this, Zhang Lei paused deliberately, seeing Cheng Luo and Xie Wu's expressions, he first smiled with a look of disbelief, and then finally curious, Zhang Lei's heart was actually a little frustrated, and Nima and the two actually didn't believe it.
Of course Cheng Luo and Xie Wu don't believe it, do you really think this person is an idiot, no matter what, we often deal with Westerners, do you really think that we don't know what a fishing boat is? Do you really think we don't know how fast a verse is? More than twenty knots? You think you can fly!
"Listen, our boat is powered by the latest diesel engine, which is a fantastic technology!" After finishing speaking, Zhang Lei looked like a stinky fart.
However, Xie Wu took a sentence, which made Wang Kun almost laugh and pulled it off: "Oh! Then your chickens are amazing! ”
After Xie Wu finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Lei with admiration, and then said: "You can actually let such a small chicken drive such a big boat, or are you amazing!" ”
Hearing Zhang Lei's words, Cheng Luo still didn't believe it, didn't he say it if he didn't want us to know, why would he use such a naïve reason to deceive us. However, after hearing what Xie Wu said, Cheng Luo couldn't help but correct: "Stupid! If you can't bring a chicken, you can just pack more chickens. ”
"Yes! Or the leader is right, I'll say it! How could such a small chicken pull such a big thing! ”
Hearing what the two said, Wang Kun almost laughed, it's terrible to be uneducated! What the hell can this chicken have so much strength!
Wang Kun said contemptuously to Zhang Lei: "I'll give you this forced pretend, do you think I'll give full marks?" ”
After speaking, Wang Kunyou turned his head to Cheng Luo and said: "This machine is not the 'chicken', this diesel engine is a kind of machine, simply put...... Forehead? ”
At this moment, Wang Kun didn't know how to answer, this gave a big boss a rough talk about what an engine is, and he really couldn't understand it for a while. So Wang Kun simply asked Zhang Lei to take them to see what an engine was.
"Zhang Lei, you take them underground to see what a diesel engine is, I think they will slowly figure it out in the future."
Zhang Lei also had no choice but to wait for the two of them to go down, what else can be done besides watching the real thing?
Now that Wang Kun is the only one left on the foredeck, Zhao Shichang is now driving the boat in the wheelhouse, and Wang Kun feels that it is time to plan carefully. It can't be like this again, a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west, now we must settle down in one place, and then attract more and more Chinese to settle down there.
Wang Kun greeted the sunset and suddenly felt that he should plan carefully, otherwise he would find that he had achieved nothing for so long.
It didn't take long for Zhang Lei to come up with two people, and Cheng Luo and Xie Wu both looked incredible and inexplicable. They are unbelievable because the ship is actually walking on its own, and inexplicably because he can actually walk on his own without using anything.
Although the two still don't understand after reading it, it doesn't matter, as long as they know that the other party is very powerful.
Seeing this, Cheng Luo, who was still a little arrogant, is now starting to pay attention. Not only is the opponent's weapons powerful, but even the ships are so advanced, just these two things can run rampant in this sea area.
Wang Kun still pretended to be forced to see the expressions of the two of them, and said, "How is it?" This boat is okay! Believe it this time! ”
Cheng Luo and Xie Wu just nodded mechanically, what else could they say This was completely beyond the scope of their understanding.
"Actually, I didn't have to ask you to come up at that time, but you didn't have to be our buddies. As you can see, we don't know much about this part of the South Seas, so we'd like to ask you to come and help us. Just like this time, we have good things but we can't sell them, which must have a lot to do with our approach! ”
Hearing Wang Kun's words, Cheng Luo finally put his mind at ease, he was really afraid that the other party would let him be a little guy in the future.
"Oh! This one! Then you can rest assured, we still travel a lot in this part of the sea, we have been to Batavia in the west, Penang and Thailand in the north. I've been to Manila ever east, and I've been to almost every place where I can do business. ”
Hearing what Cheng Luo said, Wang Kun felt an inexplicable excitement, which was equivalent to picking up a treasure. Having such a person who is familiar with sea conditions and knows how to do business and has experience in naval command is too important for Wei Feng Company in the early stage of development.
"Oh! That means you've dealt with the Dutch, the Spaniards, and even the British! I guess you must speak a few Chinese languages, right? Hearing Cheng Luo talk about these places, Zhang Lei is still quite excited, you must know that the Chinese in this era are very conservative, they are almost reluctant to communicate with outsiders, this suddenly heard that Zhang Lei is still quite curious about a place that has been to so many places.
This time it was Cheng Luo's turn to be embarrassed, and he said too much, mainly to make the other party's own ability. In other words, it is equivalent to Cheng Luo making an untrue resume, in order to show that he is very capable. Actually, not all of them have been, Batavia and Penang have been, but Manila has never been. But since he still couldn't show it, Cheng Luo secretly cleared his throat and said:
"I don't know how to speak foreign words, but if the Europa people in Batavia say it, my basic communication is still fine, but nothing else!"
"Oh! The Europa of Batavia? That's the Dutch, I thought you were so good! But it's good to be able to communicate with the Dutch, it just so happens that we don't speak Dutch, so it's up to you to do business with the Dutch. ”
Hearing what Zhang Lei said, Cheng Luo hurriedly replied: "This is no problem, when I was in Lanfang Country before, I mainly dealt with you Dutch. ”
Cheng Luo secretly congratulated himself that he was a sailor before, because he heard that these three people needed someone who could do business with the Europas. And this is their own strength, presumably if they don't have these abilities, these people may not be able to let themselves do what they will do at that time?
"Actually, I've always wanted to know the rules of the activities of the merchant ships and navy in Batavia, I wonder how much you know?" Wang Kun interrupted Zhang Lei to ask some boring questions, even if he doesn't know their language, can he still learn it slowly in the future, if he can't do it, he can always ask for a translator. But the regularity of the Dutchman's movement is the focus at the moment.
"Oh! It's no secret that this Dutchman would have come over at this time of year to buy our spices, peppercorns, gems and other things. In fact, we have been preparing things for the past few days, and according to the pattern of previous years, it will be this month. ”
"Oh! That means that as long as we wait in this area, we can catch them all, and then this is a worthless deal. Hearing what Cheng Luo said, Zhang Lei showed the nature of a robber as soon as he was excited.
"No way!"
"You can't do that!"
After hearing Zhang Lei's words, the two objected in unison, and seeing the puzzled faces of the other party, Xie Wu hurriedly explained:
"These ships go to Lanfang Country and Heshun Company with cash, and they are all protected by a powerful naval army, which are more than a dozen Western cannon ships! Besides, even if we succeed, then what? Speaking of which, Xie Wu looked at Wang Kun and Zhang Lei.
Facing Xie Wu's gaze, Zhang Lei said, "Then? And then of course we go back to Temasek! ”
