Chapter 411: A Trip to Japan (6)

Hearing Fan Liang's words, Chen Daolong suddenly became interested, as the Tang Datong of Nagasaki, Chen Daolong of course understood how huge the profits of tomorrow's trade were. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn the past, although Chen Daolong was in a high position and was in charge of trade, he rarely interfered in the sale of goods between fleets because of the Chen family's lack of foundation in the Ming Dynasty. Now listening to Fan Liang say this, he suddenly felt that this was a rare opportunity, so he hurriedly asked, "I don't know what goods General Fan brought with him when he came?" If the goods are in short supply, our Chen family can also buy a batch! ”

Fan Liang smiled and said meaningfully, "It's nothing more than some bulk goods such as tea, cloth, refined salt, and sugar, and in addition to some copper products produced locally in Shandong." As for the supply, there are still some. This time, there are no less than 40 merchant ships from Shandong, and there are more than 20 cargo ships left in addition to more than a dozen warships. ”

If you want the horse to run, you have to give the horse grazing. Fan Liang has been influenced by Liu Fan for a long time, and he still believes in the supremacy of Liu Fan's interests in his bones. He knew very well that if he wanted the Chen family to help him, he had to give them a little sweetness. Now that I have this question, it is clear that I am sending money to Chen Daolong!

"More than forty ships? What a big deal! Is it really worthy of being the chief military officer of a province? Chen Daolong was secretly shocked by Fan Liang's strength, and he was even more glad in his heart, he didn't say anything to death just now, otherwise he would offend such a powerful force in vain, even if the Chen family is very well-established in Japan, it is not very comfortable!

Secretly took stock of the Chen family's family background in his heart, Chen Daolong was silent for a while before he smiled and said, "General Fan said that he laughed, with our Chen family's financial resources and connections, these more than 20 ships of massive goods can't be eaten no matter what, even if one or two ships have to clean up my Chen family's family to barely do it!" ”

"Only two boats?" Fan Liang naturally showed a deep sense of disappointment, and sighed for a moment before sighing, "It's better than nothing!" In this way, Mr. Chen, tomorrow you will send someone to walk around the dock, and if you see something that suits your heart, you will pull it away. Well, if you don't have enough money, it's okay to take credit for the time being. The officer is in charge of giving you another shipload of goods, as long as we pay all the money before we return home. After all, this is the stuff of the chief soldier of our family, and this official can do so much! ”

Chen Daolong was first angry, and then overjoyed, "Really? That's great. General Fan is so affectionate and friendly, I, Chen Daolong, am really ashamed! General Fan is not an ignorant person, and Chen is ashamed of your hospitality. If General Fan is still of any use to Chen's words in Nagasaki, Chen will definitely do his best. ”

"Then thank you Mr. Chen in advance!"

Fan Liang then discussed some specific details of the cooperation with Chen Daolong, and finally with the efforts of the two, the Chen family and Jiaozhou reached a trade agreement. In the future trade exchanges, the Chen family will establish a stable trade cooperation relationship with Jiaozhou, and provide necessary support for the Jiaozhou caravan in Nagasaki's trade.

After leaving the Chen family, in the next two days, Fan Liang visited the Ouyang family, the Lin family and other overseas Chinese families with greater influence in Nagasaki. Except for the Ouyang family's attitude, most of the other families welcomed Fan Liang's visit. Fan Liang also took this opportunity to sell several ships of goods, and at the same time established trade relations with several families for reasons of interest. Although this relationship is still very unreliable and cannot withstand the wind and rain, it is always a good start for Fan Liang.

In this way, using money to open the way, Fan Liang finally opened up the situation preliminarily. Having gained a firm foothold in Nagasaki, Fan Liang began to think about how to deal with the goods at hand and complete the tasks assigned by Liu Fan. Although these Tang generals controlled the power of trade, they were not pure merchants after all, and there were few of them, and most of them had their own purchase channels. The demand for goods in Jiaozhou is not strong. Like the Chen family, a big deal that started with medical skills is an outlier and a minority after all. Pirates and maritime merchants like the Zheng family and the Ouyang family are the mainstream. Fan Liang wants to get rid of all the goods in his hands, and in the end, he still has to rely on the large number of local businessmen in Nagasaki.

Fortunately, Fan Liang didn't need to wait too long, because the trade fair led by the Zheng family was about to start. Three days have passed in a flash, and the irregular trade fair held by the Fuzhou Chamber of Commerce is about to be held in the Fuzhou Hall. Fan Liang also participated in this grand event as an invitee.

The reason why this kind of trade fair is held from time to time is mainly related to the exchange of merchant ships, and the merchant ships from Daming sailed to come, naturally because they need to find someone to ship, so this trade fair came into being. This time, the Zheng family held a trade fair because the Zheng family's fleet also arrived in Nagasaki, even earlier than Fan Liang and the others, and the scale was larger.

In March, Nagasaki is already in full bloom with cherry blossoms. Cherry blossoms are the "national flower" of Japan! The Japanese seem to have an unusual fondness for this plant, which is native to the Himalayas. Not only is it planted in every house, but it can also be found everywhere in some streets. "The small garden is newly planted with red cherry trees, and the spring breeze hits, and the petals are all over the place, or silver-white, or pink petals are scattered in the air with the wind, which looks very brilliant.

The tip of his nose lingered with a faint fragrance, and Fan Liang couldn't help but have bursts of thoughts. Before you know it, has spring come quietly? Suddenly, Fan Liang realized that more than a month had passed since the beginning of February from Jiaozhou Bay. Recalling the ups and downs he has experienced in the past month, Fan Liang can't help but feel a lot of emotion. Before entering the military academy for further study, he was just an ordinary peasant kid, and his life was plain and fulfilling. Without Liu Fan's discovery, perhaps in the future, he would have worked hard with his face facing the loess and his back to the sky like his parents. How could you be in such a high position and experience so many people and things as you are now?

Fan Liang knew that he could have today's situation and status, all of which were inseparable from Liu Fan's support. The soldier dies for his confidant, and for Liu Fan, who has the grace of knowing him, Fan Liang is thinking about how to repay him all the time. Now this trip to Japan is a good opportunity for Fan Liang. So Fan Liang wanted to do his best to do this well.

Unconsciously, Fan Liang and his party had crossed the long street of Chinatown and came to the door of the Fuzhou Guild Hall. Looking at the endless flow of people in front of him, Fan Liang sighed with emotion in his heart, "With such flowers, the Zheng family is really powerful in Nagasaki!" Let's go in, everybody!
