Accompanied by Mrs. Blanche, Liang Pengfei was introduced to the Spanish nobles and came to the side of Governor Marcello.

"Alright, it's your men's time, you talk slowly, but after the dance begins, it's time for us ladies to dominate, my dear." Mrs. Blanche looked back and smiled at her husband, but when she said the last sentence, the silky eyes that picked up were hooked on Liang Pengfei's face with the surname Ge Nan.

Looking at Mrs. Blanche's soft waist, Liang Pengfei smiled at Governor Marcello: "Your wife is really charming. ”

"Of course, you're not the only one who has told me this, it's God's favor to me to be able to marry Blanche." Governor Marcello drew a cross on his chest with the appearance of a devout man.

"Alright, dear Governor Marcello, I wonder if your gift for me is ready?" Liang Pengfei and Governor Marcello walked side by side, some Spanish nobles who came from other cities to attend the reception were asking their colleagues in Manila about the origin of this Mr. Liang, when they learned Liang Pengfei's true identity, they couldn't help but gasp, the original arrogance and reserve dissipated from their faces, replaced by a deep fear.

Marcelo couldn't have imagined that Liang Pengfei would mention this at this time, so he looked around cautiously before he whispered: "Mr. Liang, please rest assured, you will be able to get it together soon, you must know that although this thing is also ordinary, the amount you want is too much, so it will take time." ”

"Well, I believe you, just don't let me down, it won't be long before I leave Manila, but you don't have to rejoice too soon, I'll keep my men in Manila." Liang Pengfei couldn't help but smile when he saw Marcelo's happy face change in an instant, like a bitter gourd that made people step on more than ten feet.

"Mr. Liang, you have already signed a treaty with us, and we are willing to hand over those islands to you." Marcello couldn't wait to pick up the wine bottle next to him and smash it on Liang Pengfei's face that made him hate, but he could only think about it.

"Of course, don't worry, we must both abide by the treaty, but it will take time to implement it, after all, Your Excellency Governor Marcelo." Liang Pengfei blinked narrowly. "In addition, I think there are still a lot of issues to be exchanged between the two of us, for example, business, a lot of big business......" Liang Pengfei's tone was like a devil seducing people's hearts.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

"You all need these?" Governor Marcello's eyes lit up, and Liang Pengfei's words made him feel an opportunity to make a fortune, and it was not just a business.

Seeing the brilliance in Marcelo's eyes, Liang Pengfei curled the corners of his mouth and kindly handed the Spanish governor a cigar. I lit one myself, and through the smoke cover, the ghost's reverent gaze was aimed at the round buttocks of a beautiful maid not far away. "Of course, whether it is farm tools, or iron tools, and daily necessities, we all need them, I believe that with the right and vision of Governor Marcello, you can definitely make a profit by doing this kind of business with me, and this kind of business will continue between us for a long time, of course, there are many businesses we can also do, such as human resources......"

"Talent?" Governor Marcello was confused, and couldn't figure out how Liang Pengfei was involved in the two different things of business and talent.

"Of course, a lot of things in the world can be measured in terms of materials, even people." Liang Pengfei smiled, a philosopher's style. "I need all kinds of talents, whether it is smelting, or manufacturing, or textile, or chemistry, as long as they have their own skills, you can introduce them to me, and I will pay you a commission according to their important surnames, you can rest assured, I am not asking you to sell people, this is a commission, at least those talents, I will still pay them what they deserve, and the salary will only be higher than that in Spain, not lower."

Hearing Liang Pengfei's words, Governor Marcello was really moved, you know, on the island of Luzon, there are no less than 30,000 Spaniards, including more than 20,000 civilians, these people are full of ambition, come to the East to pan for gold, but due to the decline of the Spanish kingdom's status in the sea and Europe, the development and future of the colony gradually do not seem to be as important as before, so that many Spaniards who came to the East are in a state of semi-unemployment.

Just like Cebu, Spain's earliest colony in the South Seas, at least 2,000 Spanish vagrants have become a factor of social instability.

"Perhaps, we can indeed discuss this business." Governor Marcello is not stupid, judging from Liang Pengfei's performance after arriving in Manila, although he kills, he is measured, although greedy, he can maintain a kind of restraint with Spain, which shows that Liang Pengfei has maintained a willingness to live in peace while warning the Spaniards, that is, between the two sides, there is indeed a possibility of trade.

By the time the reception began, Liang Pengfei had become intimate with Governor Marcello like brothers-in-law, and they had reached a preliminary agreement in private.

This made Liang Pengfei's mood very relaxed, you know, Spain has been operating on this land for many years, although he is vigilant about the greed of these Westerners for wealth, but at the same time, to use their psychology to promote bilateral trade and development, at least, need to borrow the hands of the Spaniards to do a lot of things.

For example, the achievements of the West in smelting and chemistry, as well as textiles and dyes, Liang Pengfei also finalized a rather bizarre business, buying fifty pounds of rubber tree seeds from the Spanish colonies in South America through the Spanish governor for the price of a pound of gold and a pound of seeds.

For the Spanish governor, it was like a pie falling from the sky on his own head. Although he had heard of this strange plant, and the resin secreted from the tree was used as a rainproof material, however, it was only for this purpose, and he could not imagine that this Mr. Liang would spend such a large price to buy it, Marcelo believed that as long as he sent a letter, let alone fifty pounds, even five hundred pounds could get it, and fifty pounds of gold he paid a few pounds at most, and the rest naturally went into his own pocket.

"It seems that doing business with Orientals is to make money." Marcello looked at Liang Pengfei's gaze more and more pleasantly, and he completely forgot the scene when he made the butcher's knife raised by Young Master Liang a few days ago scared and urinated.

Liang Pengfei looked at Governor Marcello's gaze and also looked so kind, although at present, he looked like a fool who couldn't do business, but only Master Liang himself knew how important these businesses were to himself, and even to the change of the world pattern.

At the cocktail party, Mrs. Blanche completely became the leader, and almost every topic was guided by her, whether it was music, painting, or poetry, although Mrs. Blanche was not proficient, she could still speak the truth, which made Liang Pengfei have to admire, this woman is smart enough, at least not only bright on the outside, but also beautiful on the inside.

Similarly, Young Master Liang has also become the focus of the party, not only because he is the protagonist who was invited, but because of his profound knowledge, for wine, Master Liang can tell how many years of Bordeaux wine this has been stored in the kiln just by his tongue, and for the understanding of Western art, Liang Pengfei is even above many nobles, and Liang Pengfei also compares and evaluates Eastern philosophical concepts with Western philosophy, elegant conversation, full of wise language, These arrogant aristocrats not only put away their contempt, but in the end, they even humbly asked Liang Pengfei for advice on the philosophy of the East.

Shi Dakai, who was also arranged to attend, went from the shock at the beginning to the numbness at the end, of course, he admired and admired this young master Liang who was two years younger than himself. In his heart, he almost worshipped Liang Pengfei as an idol.

Liang Pengfei's humorous words and handsome appearance made the hot eyes of those ladies always look at him, and occasionally deliberately asked some questions to attract the attention of Young Master Liang.

But for Shi Dakai, on this occasion, he is simply being tortured for his tender face, and he can't understand why these women dare to expose half of their breasts and a pair of shoulders on this occasion, and the hot and provocative eyes and ambiguous expressions make him feel unbearable.

Whether the noble lady or the lady accosted him, his face was like a breathalyzer, and he would turn red every time he did. Seeing Shi Dakai, a handsome guy who was embarrassed like that, Young Master Liang was secretly having fun on the side, but for the sake of him being Shi Xianggu's younger brother, Liang Pengfei finally fell into the well, and helped him from time to time.

Finally, the cheerful dance music sounded, and Liang Pengfei's eyes fell on Mrs. Blanche who was walking towards him for the first time. Liang Pengfei took the initiative to step forward: "Dear Mrs. Blanche, I don't know if I am lucky, please dance the first dance." ”

"Of course, that's what I want." Madame Blanche smiled in the candlelight, all the brighter and more beautiful, and the sapphire around her neck was so brilliant that it contrasted with her white and smooth skin.
