When Alfonso got up early the next morning, and saw the "gift" promised yesterday that Ge Bi had brought, he did not hesitate to order the anchor and drove his Galen boat into the dock, and then followed Ge Bi to a newly built courtyard next to the pier.

The reason why he did this was because the "gift" shocked him beyond measure!

That's a thick piece of glass!

Clean, transparent and flawless!

And what shocked Alfonso the most was the clear handprint of himself that was deeply sunk into the thick glass!

There is no doubt that this is the glass made in Ushijima!

When he first got this glass handprint, Alfonso's first reaction was that he had missed the cash cow of Francis!

But it immediately dawned on him that this kind of transparent glass was not something that Francis could have made - just kidding, if he could make it, would he be so mixed up that he almost had to beg for food in Macau?

But if it wasn't made by Francis, then who would it be?

All of Europe knew that only on the island of Venice could make such a clean and flawless transparent glass because the glass makers had a secret recipe; Alfonso has traveled half the world, and he can't figure out if he wants to break his head, and there is another place in the world where people have mastered this secret recipe!

If anything, is clear glass more expensive than the same weight of gold?

Alfonso was puzzled, but the glass handprint in his hand made him sure that someone on Ushido Island had mastered the secret recipe!

In this case, Alfonso could have imagined with his toes that in the future, there would be a steady stream of glass products on Ushido Island - which is glass products! That's a huge cash cow that drops gold!

Alfonso would never let go of this kind of opportunity, so he immediately changed his attitude, removed his guard as soon as possible, and put all the goods that Chu Fan wanted in front of the other party - for such a business of tens of thousands of taels of silver. It would be an idiot to miss the perfect opportunity to represent glass products!

"Aha! We'll meet again, Mr. Alfonso," Chu Fan said as he reclined lazily on a circle chair in the large hall in the small courtyard, fiddling with a round piece of glass in his hand. "How about it, are you satisfied with the gift I gave you?"

Alfonso bowed deeply and said, "Thank you very much Lord Chu for your generous gift!" After knowing each other for so long, Chu Fan had never received his bow and salutation, this was the first time.

And he used the word "YourLordship", which also made Chu Fan stunned for a long time before he reacted, this should be some kind of honorific title - I can only blame Chu Fan for being too wet in English level 4, and he didn't even remember the word "YourLordship".

Although he was caught off guard by Alfonso's drastic change in attitude, Chu Fan still decided to negotiate according to the designed plan. "So, can we start talking business?"

Alfonso straightened up and responded, "As you wish!" ”

After he walked to Chu Fan and sat down, he glanced at several people around Chu Fan - he recognized Chen Shangren and Ge Bi, but the other young man with a thick bookish atmosphere was the first time he had seen him - and then his eyes were glued to the round glass piece in Chu Fan's hand!

Oh my God! Such a large piece of glass can be sold for at least a thousand Spanish gold dollars! was actually thrown around by Chu Fan as a toy to play!

Oh! Watch out! Don't break it!

"Mr. Alfonso, I think you should be able to give me a reasonable price now." Chu Fan saw that his saliva was about to flow out. Just said straight to the point.

"Oh, of course. Dear Lord Chu...... I think...... 40 taels of silver per firearm is very suitable...... You know, my goods are very expensive......" As soon as the price was spoken, Alfonso reverted to his true character as a merchant, and almost gritted his teeth and lowered it by 10 taels of silver.

"20 taels!" Chu Fan interrupted his chatter impatiently.

"My God, Lord Chu, at this price. You might as well kill me...... Or simply hang me, what does it mean to lose all your money? It's called losing all your money! …… You can't let me buy a sapphire like a fish's eye, can you? ......" He chattered and complained until he found that Chu Fan had always looked lazy and did not react, and the eyes of the three people next to him began to breathe fire.

After Ge Bi came back yesterday, the quote of this profiteer immediately made the people on Niu Island excited-grandma's red-haired ghost actually dared to run to our territory to spread wild and kill ****. Grab the goods!

In the end, it was Chu Fan who suppressed everyone - he didn't want to turn the Fuliao Army into a pirate army!

It's not that you can't rob, it's just that the loot is not in the right place-the Portuguese should be trading partners rather than enemies, and Niu Dao, Chu Fan also plans to build it into a future East Asian trading center, if the first merchant who comes to trade is robbed, will anyone come to trade again?

It's not feasible to rob, but you have to find a way to clean up this profiteer and let him do business with Ushijima honestly!

After carefully questioning Ge Bi about the whole process, Chu Fan found a great opportunity - Francis.

Glass is a big killer weapon for many people, and of course it is also what Chu Fan dreams of. But in his previous life, he really didn't know anything about glass, so he could only slowly explore the production method of glass by instructing Lingxuzi.

Now that there is a European who can make glass, of course Chu Fan will not let it go, so there is a scene of paying money to ransom people; When Francis came to the island and admitted that the glass he had made was muddy, an anecdote that Chu Fan had heard in his previous life suddenly appeared in his mind.

It is said that the minister of a certain country in Venice, in order to obtain the secret recipe for making transparent glass, spent several years and spent countless money, and finally one day got his wish, it was a two-finger-wide note.

What is unbelievable is that there is only one word written on it - stir!

It was this simple "stirring" that plagued glass workshops elsewhere in Europe for centuries! It also allowed Venice to monopolize transparent glass for centuries and make a lot of money!

So when Francis said that he knew all the raw materials and preparation methods for making glass, Chu Fan knew that he had picked up a treasure - Niudao was about to become the Venice of the East, becoming another source to break the monopoly of glass!

When the molten glass puree gradually became clear and transparent under Chu Fan's stirring, Chu Fan became more and more sure that this time, he would eat Alfonso, a profiteer, again!

In order to make Alfonso believe that Ushijima can make transparent glass, Chu Fan also specially asked Ge Bi to collect his handprints and make the "gift" that shocked Alfonso to the extreme.

Sure enough, the attitude of the profiteer changed greatly, but what Chu Fan didn't expect was that when it came to the price, this guy was still so stubborn and didn't let go, it seemed that it was time to throw bones.

"Mr. Alfonso, you also know that producing glass is easy for me," Chu Fan raised the glass in his hand and said, "But we don't have a merchant store to sell in Nanyang, India, and even west in Europe, so we ......"

Alfonso's face changed dramatically, and he stood up in excitement, muttering a great deal - he used his native language as soon as he was excited.

Fortunately, Chu Fan had already prepared, Sun Hedou next to him had been learning Western studies with his father since he was a child, and the Latin was really good, and he acted as a translator at the moment, "Little uncle, he said that he was very willing to serve, and he shamelessly boasted of how honest and trustworthy he was. ”

Seeing Sun He Doulian rolling his eyes, Chu Fan smiled at Alfonso and said, "So, Mr. Alfonso, what ......is the price of these Lu Mi guns, as well as craftsmen and other utensils?" ”

Alfonso wrinkled his brow as if cutting flesh and struggled for a long time, and finally nodded.

"It's all at your price! …… I only ask Lord Chu to give me the agency of the glass! (To be continued.) )
