The person who spoke and persuaded was Philips, and even Feng Zhuogan was stunned for a moment when he spoke to help, very surprised, unexpected, he didn't expect Philips to help him, and he was surprised. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although he was helping himself, Feng Zhuogan still felt that whether it was out of the relationship between allies or for the sake of his own interests, so as to obtain more benefits, Philips should help the Luzon businessman and speak for him, instead of himself who came to the door in trouble, and he Feng Zhuogan would not give him a penny.

Accident is accident, Feng Zhuogan still smiled and nodded slightly to express his gratitude.

As if sensing Feng Zhuogan's kindness, Philips turned his head sideways, smiled in return, and nodded, as if they were close allies, he Philips was a spy and would not help the Luzon merchants, and at this moment there was an infernal affair.

The two of them had a tacit understanding without saying a word, and looked at the Luzon merchant at the same time. At that moment, Philips made a look, suggesting that he agreed to Feng Zhuogan's request and sold him more than 2,000 quintals of nitrate.

At this time, what else can the merchants of Luzon say and what can they say? I sighed infinitely in my heart, the national elementary school **** is weak, people are under the eaves, I have to bow my head, and I have no choice but to agree to the road of trading.

In the end, the Luzon businessman looked helpless, and said with a heavy heart: "Okay, I promise you to sell you more than 2,000 quintals of nitrate." ”

Then, he turned his head slightly, looked directly at Philips, showed disdain, and said sarcastically: "Philips, are you satisfied, as you wish, these more than 2,000 loads of nitrate were sold to Feng Zhuogan, I don't know if there is any benefit for you after he makes a profit?" Will it give you a commission, my wise and wise Philips-sama? ”

Philips didn't think so, as if he didn't hear the irony in his words, he still stood there unfazed, didn't say anything in response, just made an innocent shrug, and said nothing more.

At this moment, Feng Zhuogan suddenly brightened up, understood it in his chest, and secretly sighed that his guess was indeed right, if there was no benefit, no entanglement of interests, how could this Portuguese help this Luzon businessman?

Although he got this batch of nitrate as he wished, Feng Zhuofan was only secretly happy, but he still maintained a calm demeanor on the surface, and followed the governor Zhao Shanqing for many years, and he had already tempered his honor and disgrace; Years of ups and downs in the business sea have long made it develop a calm time when it makes a profit.

"Since you agreed, when will we make a deal and pay for the goods? After all, more than 2,000 quintals of nitrate is not a small number, and after a long time, it is easy to leak the news and be known. At that time, I believed that the outcome was not what you and I both wanted to see. ”

After saying these words, Feng Zhuogan waited eagerly for the Luzon merchants to reply, "Whoa! "It was pouring rain outside, and the mist was so thick that the water droplets were splashing, causing the three of them to look over at the same time, looking at the sky outside the house, which was overcast.

At this time, mixed with the sound of heavy rain, Philips's words sounded again, looked at Feng Zhuogan, and said very considerately: "Looking at the weather, this rain will take at least three or five days, and it will be impossible for you to trade before the rain stops." ”

"Mr. Feng, I think it's best to delay your transaction, wait for the rain to stop, and then discuss the specific date and method of the transaction."

"Otherwise, the nitrate is easily deteriorated by moisture and can no longer be used. Moreover, during this time, Mr. Feng can look for a place to store nitrate, I don't think Mr. Feng has a place to put things yet, after all, nitrate must be placed in a dry place, and your transaction is just a chance coincidence. ”

Philips said very sincerely, with sincerity on his face, and he was thinking about Feng Zhuo in everything. However, Feng Zhuogan didn't think so, because he vaguely felt that there was some kind of conspiracy brewing, and Philips's attitude changed too quickly, and he didn't believe that this Westerner was well-intentioned.

There is one point, Feng Zhuogan has to admit that Philips is right, he must find a place to store nitrate, after all, he wants to do this business privately for less than two days, and the nitrate he operates is all regular and quantitative, and there is not too much place to vacate more than 2,000 loads of nitrate.

In the summer, Guangdong will enter a season of continuous light rain, heavy rain and tsunami from time to time, especially in Macau. At this time, if you forcibly buy nitrate, you are likely to end up losing your wife and losing your soldiers, which is very unwise.

Whether it's out of sanity, risk aversion. Or out of the shrewdness of the businessman, to eliminate the potential possible losses, Feng Zhuogan had to be calm, so he acquiesced to Philips' suggestion, and said on the scene: "Since Lord Philips said so, I, Feng Zhuogan, am also a bright person, but I am just a small businessman, of course, I want to sell Lord Philips a face, and obey the arrangement." ”

The Luzon merchants still had a sad expression, and they were very dissatisfied with Philips from beginning to end, complaining, full of slander, and constantly cursing in secret. Despite this, the Luzon merchant nodded in submission, which was considered to be acceptable.

Feng Zhuogan left, leaving in the heavy rain, his heart was very heavy, and he did not have the joy after the victory, but was worried and could not be happy.

Soon after, the Luzon businessman glared at Philips fiercely, and was about to brave the heavy rain to go angrily, but as soon as he took a step, he was pulled back by Philips and pulled back vigorously: "I said, are you still angry?" As for it? You're still a businessman, why don't you know how to procrastinate? Originally, I thought that you should be a smart person, but now it seems that I should make a new evaluation of you. ”

The Luzon merchant stopped struggling and was no longer obsessed with leaving immediately, and Philips let go of the big hand.

Philips's repeated questions made the Luzon businessman calm down and start thinking, wondering what Philips meant by saying this?

"As a partner, how could I help that Chinese businessman? The reason why you agreed to that unfair deal is to have more time to prepare for our next actions and quickly sell this batch of goods. ”

In an instant, the eyes of the Luzon merchants appeared with a look of hope, shining with a crystal light, and they were immediately attracted by Philips's explanation, and the air of decadence and loss slowly faded, and he was reborn, staring at Philips with longing eyes, waiting for the next explanation.

"Once we win time, there will be room for maneuver, as long as all the nitrate is shot, that Feng Zhuogan can't help us? If he still dares to report it, then we can accuse him of slander, and without evidence, the government can only stand on our side, and behind me there is the Great Portuguese Empire! ”

The more Philips spoke, the more confident he became, and his whole body exuded a look of pride, which also made the eyes of the Luzon merchant brighten, nodding frequently, and the joy was overflowing, and the sudden turn of events made the Luzon businessman rekindle his trust in this Portugal.

The joy did not last long, and the brightness in the eyes of the Luzon merchant suddenly dimmed, and he said with a low emotion: "If you really do this, is it against the way of doing business?" Contrary to the integrity of businessmen? Will I be able to continue my business in this ancient country in the future? ”

As soon as the words came out, Philips suddenly showed contempt, and snorted disdainfully: "Hmph, I despise you Asians the most, integrity?" What integrity? Integrity is built on the basis of equal strength, and over the years, not to mention China here, nor to say how we are in Portugal. Speaking of Europe and America alone, the integrity of business is between big countries and between powerful countries. ”

"Britain know, their navy is to recruit pirates, and they follow the logic of piracy, and when they see a merchant ship full of goods from other countries, they will suddenly attack and rob the goods and money."

"Otherwise, where did our Western European countries come from so many colonies, not by integrity, you know?!"

After saying this, Philips was very proud and full of pride. While the merchants of Luzon echoed the compliments, they were also secretly vigilant in their hearts, and began to guard against the Portuguese, deciding that it would be better to be more distant in the future, the distance was too close, it was too dangerous, and I didn't know when, I would be stabbed in the back, and my hard-earned money would be robbed.

However, even so, the matter was resolved, and the Luzon businessman still comforted himself and said secretly: "Feng Zhuogan, you are unkind first, don't blame me for being unjust, I can't do a deal by robbing and coercing, not to mention that the price is so different?" (To be continued.) )
