Chapter 231: Two Thirteen Giants of Guangzhou!

King Louis XVI of France is now in prison, I am afraid that he will not be alive for long, and the French Revolution has panicked the whole of Europe, and Spain is also not having a good time now, adjacent to France, and is still in the same spirit, now, King Louis XVI of France is in prison, which makes Carlos IV shocked at the same time, but also quite dissatisfied. Moreover, the French revolutionaries did not have much affection for Spain, and the good diplomatic and allied relations between the two sides were on the verge of breakdown.

In addition, the relationship between Britain and Spain is becoming more and more strained, although it is not yet time to be in flames, but the problem is that both sides do not like each other. One is the sea lord of the past, the other is the sea lord of the present, although Spain is no longer the glory of the past, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the Spanish fleet is still not to be underestimated.

But no one wants to make a move at this time, because there are other European countries on the sidelines. Therefore, no matter how angry Carlos IV is, he will definitely not disregard the safety of his own country, and at a time when Europe is in chaos, he will transfer the huge Spanish fleet and sail to the east.

"Your Excellency the Governor does have a lot of embarrassment, and since these days, we Spaniards have been quite unhappy in the East." In the back garden of Liang Pengfei's residence, this Cisse finally explained more to Liang Pengfei.

Because of the strength of the British, the British East India Company's reliance on the sale of port merchants, and the control of India's seaports, had caused the profits of many European countries to gradually reduce their colonies in the East.

After the previous pirates were swept away by Liang Pengfei, now, there is a new batch, according to the information obtained, a considerable part of them were bought by the British, and their task was to rob the merchant ships of various countries, and they would pay for the purchase of these goods.

Now, those European merchants who set out from Guangzhou and returned to the West will generally go to sea with several or even a dozen of them, so that those pirates can dispel their thoughts, after all, although the combat effectiveness of European merchant ships is not as good as that of pirates, but it is not to be underestimated, and the incredible number of merchant ships can even swallow those damned pirates sometimes.

--------------------

Listening to the Spanish businessman talk about their hardships, Liang Pengfei's brows became more and more wrinkled, and he didn't expect that the power of the British was so inflated today.

"These damned pirates have made our trade routes seem dangerous, but what is even more troubling is that the British are now trying to snatch a share of the goods in our hands, you know, the silk, porcelain and tea of the Orient are the treasures that we Europeans covet.

But now that the strength of the British has caused our trade to shrink, and now that His Majesty has become more and more dissatisfied with the benefits of Luzon, it is likely that the Governor of Luzon will leave this position. Your Excellency the Governor has asked me to come to see Your Excellency the General, in the hope that you will be able to get some help from you, as we Spaniards have been observing the peace treaty between us for more than a year, and from the face of Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess. After Jose explained his intentions, he looked at Liang Pengfei nervously, for fear that another word would pop out of his mouth.

Seeing that Liang Pengfei was silent for a long time, Jose said a little anxiously: "Honorable general, now you are a lieutenant general of the Great Qing Emperor, this Annan is under your control, I hope you can help us." ”

Liang Pengfei raised his eyes and looked at the nervous Spanish businessman, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth: "If you don't remind me, I really almost forgot." By the way, I heard that the reason why the French were willing to support Nam Nguyen so much, in addition to obtaining ports and colonies in the East, was because of the rich products of Annam, am I right? ”

"Yes, in fact, it is true, the oil nan and sandalwood of Annam are the top furniture materials, and the spice cinnamon produced here is more expensive than gold, in addition, there are pepper and jute, these things are also quite popular in our Europe. Although our share of trade with the Qing Dynasty has shrunk, if we can obtain these specialties of Annam from you, we will still be able to make up for some of it. Cisse said with an exaggerated gesture. My lord, if you can entrust us with these businesses, we will be infinitely grateful for your generosity and kindness. Cisse looked at Liang Pengfei, his eyes flashing with a little starlight.

However, what made Cisse depressed was that he couldn't wait for Liang Pengfei's reply, and His Excellency the Qing General only arranged a house for him to rest there in peace, saying that he would give him an explanation at the right time.

But a few days later, Liang Pengfei sent someone to call him over, but when he saw the people around Liang Pengfei, he was really surprised. "Boss Pan of Tongfu Bank."

"That's right, it's Pan, hehehe, I didn't expect to meet Mr. Cisse here, it's really better to meet by chance." Pan Youdu stepped forward with a smile and said.

"It's really an honor, Boss Pan, why did you come here?" Although Cisse had an earnest smile on his face, however, he kept playing small drums in his heart, Pan Youdu's name, who didn't know about these merchants who came to the East to pan for gold?

He actually came here in person, which can only mean one thing, that is, he is also moved by the business here, and when he thinks of this, Cisai's heart seems to have someone stuffed two catties of coptis, and how bitter it is.

And when Liang Pengfei introduced another young man next to him, Cisse's expression was already like crying, this young man's surname was Ye Zhengqing, the son of Ye Shanglin, the owner of Yichengxing, Ye Shanglin, but one of the giants in the thirteen lines of Guangdong with Pan Youdu.

After the three of them sat down, Pan Youdu chatted with Cisse about the business situation during this time. Next to him, Liang Pengfei was chattering on a cigar with a look of indifference, and let Nacisse give him several glances, but he pretended not to see it, as if it was nothing to do.

Looking at the attitudes of Liang Pengfei and Pan Youdu, he can be sure that the relationship between the two is quite close, but when he thinks of the task he shoulders, at this moment, he feels that the burden on his body is really a little heavy, and he is so heavy that he can't straighten his waist.

However, Pan Youdu's next words made Cisse almost unconscious with excitement.

--------------------

"Pan decided to increase the share of trade between the Spanish merchant and my company, two percent." Pan Youdu stretched out two fingers and shook them in front of the eyes of the glazed Cisse.

"Yi Shing Hong can also increase your share by 20%." Ye Zhengqing said with a smile. Ye Zhengqing came two days earlier than Pan Youdu, and since the incident of Lan Fangguo's sale of ordnance, the relationship between Ye Shanglin and the old Liang family suddenly became closer.

Maybe it's because after learning about the power of the old Liang family in the central Luzon Islands from Luo Bofang's mouth, maybe Ye Shanglin feels that his nephew is definitely not a thing in the pool, in short, Ye Shanglin is embarrassed to come to the door because of the relationship between him and Liang Yuanxia, but it doesn't mean that this shrewd Yicheng Xing master has no choice, so Ye Zhengqing has become a bridge between the two families.

This time Ye Zhengqing's arrival, it was Liang Pengfei who asked his father to reveal to the Ye family, Ye Shanglin immediately made a decision, and handed over the affairs to Ye Zhengqing, and the next day after receiving the news, he brought his son over.

"God, my God, Boss Pan and Boss Ye, aren't you kidding me?" Cisse finally came to his senses, tugging at his hair, and looked at the two fingers in disbelief, if it weren't for the fact that he still had a shred of sense, he might have pounced on them to bite them to see if they were his own imagination.

"Of course not, Pan and the Ye family's Yicheng Xing have always been faithful and righteous, how could they joke with you about such a big thing?" Pan Youdu shook his head helplessly, and next to him, Liang Pengfei almost couldn't hold back his laughter, because the performance of the Spanish businessman really made him feel a little exaggerated like Zhou Xingxing.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to offend you, but this news is so shocking, you are so merciful, respected Boss Pan, you are simply the savior of our Spanish businessmen, you know? If we had this 30% share, we would ...... This is an absolute and immeasurable asset. ”

"Mr. Cisse doesn't have to be like this, if it weren't for my son-in-law's mediation, hehehe......" Pan Youdu waved his hand, and his eyes fell on Liang Pengfei, who was sitting on the side. The meaning is quite clear, if it weren't for Liang Pengfei's help, they Spaniards would not have been able to get such a heavy share from Pan Youdu's hands.

"In addition, my father-in-law is now the full agent of Annan's foreign trade, and he is fully responsible for all the import and export trade of Annan, and you can discuss with my father-in-law and my cousin about the special products you need. Okay, now I still have official business. Father-in-law, cousin, I'll take my leave. Liang Pengfei patted his ass and stood up to say goodbye, and then left here directly.

"He's your son-in-law? Are you his cousin? Cisse wondered if his head had just been caught in the crack in the door, and behind the general, there were actually two gold lords.

"Yes, he's my son-in-law, well, shouldn't we have a good talk about our business now?" Pan Youdu looked at Liang Pengfei's back and said to Jose.
