"My dearest Chu, I'm so glad to see you again!"

On the deck of the Galen, Alfonso spread his arms in a pompous manner and shouted loudly in his stumbling English.

He didn't see the look of anger and resentment on Chu Fan's face, which was getting closer and closer, but he had a calm but mysterious smile in his eyes, which made Alfonso feel weak, and his action language was inevitably more exaggerated.

Could it be that this little show has accepted his offer in full? It's not like his style!

"Hello, Mr. Alfonso, it's a pleasure to see you again."

Chu Fan also opened his arms, hugged Alfonso without humility or arrogance, and even made a veneer salute, only then took a step back and stood still with a mysterious smile.

"Oh~~ And you, my dear Liu!"

Behind Chu Fan was Liu Zhongwen, who was armed with five or six fully armed warriors in half-body armor, Alfonso of course remembered this mysterious oriental master, smiled and opened his arms to hug the latter, but stopped hesitantly in Liu Zhongwen's cold eyes, and finally put down his hand in embarrassment.

Rubbing his hands, Alfonso pondered for a while in Chu Fan's playful gaze before he spoke, "Chu, our cooperation in Nagasaki is perfect, and it is the most wonderful business I have ever done in my life...... That's why I'm going to travel thousands of miles to bring you the guns you need, the craftsmen, and the nautical supplies...... Actually, I could have gone back to Europe, you see, it shows that I'm a person of integrity, right? …… But as you know, this East Asian region, with its high winds and rough seas, is full of pirates, and it is one of the seas that we seafarers fear the most...... In order to convince my companions to come with me, I promised them a hefty reward...... So, well. This batch of goods and craftsmen will be a little higher than Nagasaki......"

Before he could finish speaking, Chu Fan interrupted him, took a heavy silver bag from the hands of the soldiers behind him, handed it to Alfonso and said, "Yes, I understand. So I'm happy to trade with you...... Alone! ”

Alfonso was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, Chu Fan only wanted to pay the "introduction fee" for one of them, which made him hesitate a little - what does this mean? Isn't what he wants more than anything else is a fire gun and a sextant?

"What? Is Mr. Alfonso unwilling? The silver bag froze in mid-air, and Chu Fan asked with a smile.

"Oh! No! Of course! Alfonso raised his eyebrows and took the silver bag neatly, "I would love it!" Please tell me which craftsman you want. Clear? ”

"The one who can make glass!" Chu Fan put away his smile and said.

"Francis!" Alfonso immediately turned his head and shouted, and Francis, who had been hiding on the deck and eavesdropping from afar, hurriedly ran over.

"What do you command, sir?" Francis took off his tattered tricorne, bowed slightly, and nodded to Alfonso and Chu Fan respectively.

"You see, Venetian, I have not deceived you," said Alfonso, with a frown on his eyebrows, "I have found you a very rich, very benevolent, very generous employer...... See? The whole island is his ......."

He was still pointing to Ushijima and talking about it, but Chu Fan couldn't listen anymore - he couldn't understand Latin anymore - so he glanced at the brown-haired and brown-eyed young man. With the latter, he turned around and left.

"I'm sorry, Chu!" Seeing that they were about to leave without saying a word, Alfonso was a little anxious, stopped Chu Fan and asked, "Could it be ...... I beg your pardon...... Are you sure you only need Francis alone? …… You really don't need these firecrackers, craftsmen and nautical supplies? ”

Chu Fan turned his head to look at him. The smile became even more mysterious, "Mr. Alfonso, I don't think it's a good time for us to talk about business...... Maybe, in a day or two, I'll change my mind. Buy all your people and goods...... Perhaps, you will change your mind and will sell me these people and goods at a suitable price...... A day or two later, who knows? ”

With that, he turned his head and stepped briskly on the pedal that stood between the two boats; After glancing at Alfonso with some hesitation, Francis turned around and left after Chu Fan.

"Hey! Hey~~"

Alfonso wanted to stop Chu Fan and tell him that although Francis was a craftsman who made glass, the glass he made was muddy and worthless.

But he thought about it for a while, if he said it now, he didn't want it anymore, and he had to ask for the silver back-although 300 taels of silver was still far from Alfonso's goal, but he believed that "every gold coin in the money bag is precious", not to mention that the money had already entered the money bag, how could there be any reason to take it out?

I'm not a liar, Francis does make glass, as for whether it's transparent...... Anyway, as long as it's glass, you can't be a liar; As a merchant under the great Prince Henry, this integrity was a must.

As for the firecracker, Alfonso was sure that Chu Fan would never let it go - when he talked about 500 Lumi guns just now, the eagerness and urgency that flashed in Ge Bi's eyes, as well as the strong desire for possession he showed when he saw the sextant, made Alfonso confirm that the Chu Fan group represented by Ge Bi must have a huge gap in weapons and navigation instruments now, and it is not at all in his Alfonso's interests if he does not take the opportunity to slaughter it-after all, this kind of thing is not a daily necessities, and there will be no such shop after this village!

Businessman, profit always comes first!

As for Chu Fan helping him get out of Nagasaki?

What is that! Chu Fan also put him along-using his identity as a Catholic to threaten him! Pressed the price of Lu Mi Gong to 20 taels of silver!

Alfonso was extremely angry about this, he felt that according to the situation at that time and his business ability, even if he could not sell for 100 taels of silver, at least seventy or eighty taels of silver would definitely be fine!

So Alfonso felt that he had suffered a big loss from Chu Fan in Nagasaki, and this time the lion opened his mouth, and he did not have the mentality of recovering part of the loss.

Now that there is no more Japanese practice to expel the Catholics, then everyone should follow the rules of doing business - since you Chu Fan are so desperate to need these Lu Mi guns, you should come up with the silver that matches this desire!

Threat of force? Oh, my God!

If the barbarians had threatened to abandon their goods, would the great Portuguese kingdom be able to establish so many barracks in Africa, in the New World, in the barren lands of India and the Far East?

What Chu Fan is doing now is nothing more than trying to lower the price by dragging out time!

Right! That's right!

He even concluded that he "would change his mind" and "would sell these people and goods to him at a suitable price!"

Dream! Hum!

The right price? Of course, it is also possible to consider a little less for each Lumi gun, well, two taels of silver! Not! Three or two! No less!

Alfonso spent the whole day and night in this state of sometimes exuberance and sometimes anxiety, and the next day when the sun was just shining, a small sampan swayed and rowed over.

Alfonso was overjoyed in his heart - this Chu Fan was too young after all, he couldn't hold his breath, and he hadn't finished a day, so his attitude softened? Hmph, a hairy boy, it's just a matter of being fooled by you once, will I cut the price inexplicably?

But when he saw that it was Ge Bi who came up, and he also had a clay basin in his hand, he was stunned.

"What? Clay mudras? (To be continued.) )
