Although the beauty is good-looking, the matter has already been discussed.
At this time, Li Yuanqing couldn't stay here anymore, so he hurriedly picked up this pile of contracts and said goodbye to Valen da Gama with a smile.
Valen da Gama was also not polite, and waved his hand with Li Yuanqing with a smile.
As soon as Li Yuanqing walked out of the door, a short and thin Filipino maid hurriedly walked over and said in stiff Chinese: "General Li, please come with me and go over here to the banquet hall." ”
The matter has been dealt with, Li Yuanqing didn't want to go to this Laoshzi luncheon, after all, he didn't have much interest in these bird's feather Spanish meals, but it was better to have a big pot of mutton and a few catties of spirits to make it more appropriate.
However, I remembered the pretty face of Valen da Gama's beautiful daughter......
Especially the snow-white breasts of the white flowers......
Li Yuanqing changed his mind, nodded with a smile, waved his hand to Niu Gensheng and the others, followed the Filipino maid, and walked in the direction of the banquet hall next door.
The little Filipino maid respectfully led Li Yuanqing inside, and then went outside the door to greet Niu Gensheng and the soldiers with food.
At this time, there were already many people in the banquet hall, the men were all dressed in straight suits, and the women were wearing long skirts and formal dresses with heavy makeup.
Looking around, Li Yuanqing suddenly remembered an interesting word----- well-dressed bird ~ beast.
Most of these white-haired monkeys speak Spanish that Li Yuanqing doesn't understand at all, and there are only a few people, and occasionally a few familiar words of English pop up.
At this time, it was already about eleven o'clock in the morning, and it was about an hour before the luncheon officially began, and the crowd gathered in twos and threes, talking and laughing, showing the small circle of high society.
Li Yuanqing didn't speak Spanish, and he didn't bother to join in the fun, so he beckoned a Filipino maid to pour him a large glass of brandy, then took the document, came to the sofa in the corner and sat down, thinking about his own thoughts.
This time, although the war ship transaction with Valen da Gama's side is a bit of a loss, but at this time, the 120,000 taels of silver are still worth it!
After all, Li Yuanqing's time is limited, and he has already paid a great price when he goes to sea this time, so naturally it is impossible to ink too much time, wait, or happen to meet these foreign devils who have new warships for sale.
As the saying goes, 'get long and look at Shu'.
Although Shu is good, first of all, it is necessary to ensure the foundation of Longdi.
Only when the pattern of Changsheng Island, southern Liaoning, and the entire Ming Dynasty is stable, can Li Yuanqing have more time and energy to focus on the stage of the whole world.
Therefore, even if these dilapidated second-hand ships are a little more expensive, as long as they can play their role, it will be worth it for Li Yuanqing.
At this time, although Li Yuanqing's cash silver reserves were not rich enough, there were so many high-quality goods, and there were so many Chinese businessmen to help, 120,000 taels of silver, but it was just a small matter.
After clarifying his thoughts, Li Yuanqing's mood became clearer, and he slowly tasted the brandy in the cup, looking at the surrounding scenery with interest.
In later generations, people used to say 'blonde beauty'.
And the inherent concept of blonde beauty generally points to romantic French.
Indeed, romantic France has always been the inheritance of blonde beauties.
But in later generations, due to the invasion of colonization and multiculturalism, even in France, the quantity and quality of blonde beauties were constantly decreasing and declining.
Li Yuanqing remembers that a world-renowned playboy once said, "French is the most beautiful language in the world." Especially listening to blonde beauties say it on specific occasions......"
In order to prove this, Li Yuanqing also went to find a lot of French movies to watch, and slowly, Li Yuanqing also understood the deep meaning of this big coffee, which is simply a golden and jade good word! He must be praised for a string of '6'.
However, after many comparisons, Li Yuanqing still found that compared with the beauties of France, the Spanish beauties from the Iberian Peninsula are slightly higher in terms of figure and appearance.
At this time, the scene in front of him also confirmed Li Yuanqing's judgment.
These noble ladies of Spain are obviously a step above the previous banquets held by Juan Thomas in Macau.
However, it is a pity that among these women, there are really many girls, but there are not many girls, or girls.
But with the company of fine wine, and some tropical fruits and vegetables, sitting on the sofa, while tasting wine, eating vegetables and fruits, just like watching the scenery in the zoo and watching the big play in the circus, Li Yuanqing is not too lonely.
Of course, what he has been waiting for is the 'heroine' to appear.
After a while, there was a burst of applause in the direction of the door, and the crowd gathered around.
In a moment, Li Yuanqing saw that Valen da Gama's daughter, holding the arm of this old thing, walked into the arena with a smile in the eyes of everyone, her majesty and aura were comparable to the big stars of later generations!
Li Yuanqing couldn't help but be slightly speechless, not to mention, the etiquette of these white-haired monkeys really has a little taste.
At this time, Li Yuanqing also learned the name of Valen da Gama's daughter, 'Megane da Gama', through the mouth of a Filipino maid.
After Megane appeared, she naturally became the brightest star in the field.
is that Li Yuanqing is used to seeing beautiful women, but he is also a little distracted for a while.
Megane's beauty is only one aspect, but more importantly, it is the holy aura on her body, which is like an angel, which makes people can't help but want to pull her into their arms, take pity on her, and take it for themselves.
However, with a few taels of silver, Li Yuanqing got a more important news from a Filipino maid.
The banquet will be attended by a prince of the Spanish royal family.
And the reason why this prince came here from Europe is for Megane!
Through the guidance of this 'Erwuzai' Filipino maid, Li Yuanqing quickly found the figure of this prince.
He was probably in his early twenties, very tall, and quite handsome, but Li Yuanqing's first impression of him was, this, is this a barbarian?
Because, whether it is on the face or on the hands, this guy is densely covered with fluff, and it is simply a 'natural sweater'......
Even if these parts are very little exposed, it is still a little difficult to look at.
After Valen da Gama's excited speech, the banquet soon began, the musicians also played music, and everyone pushed their glasses to change their lamps, but soon, one by one, the well-dressed birds ~ beasts had gathered on the dance floor.
Li Yuanqing has been hiding in the darkness in the corner, secretly looking at Megane who seems to be held by the stars.
However, Valen da Gama has always been well hidden, the Spanish prince wanted to invite Megane to dance several times, but was rejected by Valen da Gama, he smiled and drank with the prince, and Megane served here like a little oriole.
At this time, Li Yuanqing somewhat understood Valen da Gama's intentions, "This old thing, what a good idea!" ”
It wasn't until near the end of the luncheon that Valen da Gama relented and let Megane accompany the prince to do a dance, but it was only a dance.
The banquet dispersed, and when he walked out of the door, the corners of Li Yuanqing's mouth couldn't help but show a playful smile.
This thing is interesting!
Niu Gensheng and his soldiers hurriedly greeted him, and Niu Gensheng said in a low voice: "General, these white-haired monkeys are here, are they okay?" ”
Li Yuanqing smiled, "It's okay." Let's go, I'm not full here, let's go back and eat some more. ”
Just walked out of the gate of the Governor's Palace, Li Yuanqing arranged a new task for Niu Gensheng, and Niu Gensheng hurriedly nodded to do it.
Back at the dockside, it was almost three o'clock.
At this time, the trade transactions here are already in full swing and lively.
After a brief meeting with the Chinese and Chinese businessmen, Guan Canghai and Xu Heizi hurriedly came to Li Yuanqing's captain's room to report on today's transaction.
Guan Canghai said: "General, according to the current scale, today's transaction amount will be about 200,000 taels." Among them, about fifty percent are on the side of the civilian cabin, and on the side of our official cabin, there is about a little more than 100,000 transactions. ”
Li Yuanqing nodded, and handed over the agreement reached with Valen da Gama to Guan Canghai and Xu Heizi.
Xu Heizi hurriedly said after reading it: "General, 120,000 taels of silver, this old Spanish dog really dares to ask for it!" How can we promise them? ”
Guan Canghai understood Li Yuanqing's intentions, and said with a smile: "Old Xu, it's a little expensive, but it's not unacceptable. General, when will these ships reach us? ”
Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "The deadline given to us by the old dog is within two days. Pay the money with one hand, and hand over the ship with the other. ”
Guan Canghai smiled and nodded, "Then there is still a gap of 20,000 taels of silver, I will do it now." Done today, it shouldn't be much of a problem. ”
Li Yuanqing said: "Canghai, don't worry. Today, let's sell another 50,000 taels of silver! Set aside 30,000 or 20,000 cash in case of emergency! ”
Guan Canghai also understood what Li Yuanqing meant, nodded vigorously, and went out to work.
Xu Heizi said: "General, we are a little at a loss!" ”
Li Yuanqing smiled and threw Xu Heizi a cigar, "Heizi, I can't bear the child, I can't catch the wolf!" ”
…………
With the support of Chinese and Chinese businessmen, the shortfall of 50,000 taels of silver was quickly filled.
After all, the manufacturing process of silk, tea, and porcelain in China in this era can be said to be far ahead of the world!
Originally, these things could only be obtained by the Chinese and businessmen in Nanyang through 'unsightly' private means.
That is, pirates, or smuggling ships, brought here.
Whether it is the quality or level of the goods, it is obviously not comparable to the official source of goods brought by Li Yuanqing.
As long as they accept these things and change hands, they will be white flowers!
Even, even if Li Yuanqing left all these goods in Manila, these Chinese businessmen would definitely be able to eat it!
However, the 'rain and dew' must be 'evenly wet', where does this go? It's just Manila, which has just entered the South Seas.
Li Yuanqing naturally won't play all the hole cards.
The silver was in hand, and that night, Li Yuanqing sent someone to inform Valen da Gama.
Valen da Gama also attached great importance to it, and rushed over overnight to personally sign a specific transaction agreement with Li Yuanqing.
The two sides agreed that after dawn tomorrow, they would hand over the money with one hand and the ship with the other in the military port area in the northern area of the wharf.
At the same time, Li Yuanqing purchased 3,000 rounds of various artillery shells from the Spanish side, and hired more than 100 retired sailors, that is, some second-rate white-haired monkeys, to cooperate in the operation of the fleet.
The final price negotiated between these men and the cannonballs was 30,000 taels, plus the 120,000 taels of silver for the ships, and the 150,000 taels of silver fell into the pockets of Valen da Gama.
