"What, let Big Brother go to the Obaro Continent?" Everyone, including Ruolan, was taken aback.

Ruolan asked coquettishly, "Husband, you have only been back for a few days, why are you tossing and turning to the Obaro Continent again?" ”

Pang Gang glared at Ruolan, "Why am I just tossing, my husband has something serious to do this time." ”

Pang Gang complained and said his thoughts, and the girls understood Pang Gang's hard work, but Wei Manyao asked again: "Husband, even if you want to send someone to Obaro, you don't have to send Ruolan's eldest brother, but the concubine has heard that Obaro is thousands of miles away, and it takes a year to go back and forth, and the road is high and turbulent, dangerous and abnormal, if there are three long and two short, how can you be worthy of Ruolan's sister?" ”

"That's a big fallacy!" Pang Gang shook his head and said: "You don't know this, if the Kong family just wants to live at home peacefully, I didn't say it, but if you want to make the business bigger, you have to take a risk, the Obaro continent is full of business opportunities, I let my uncle go to Obama with the mission This is an adventure, but why not an opportunity!" ”

As soon as Pang Gang's words came out, Wei Manyao couldn't say anything, as the old saying goes, wealth is in danger, going to the Obaro continent is indeed an adventure, but there are business opportunities in it, which everyone can see.

However, Ruolan comforted on the side: "Sister Manyao, the husband is right, there is no free lunch in the world, the husband gave the eldest brother a chance, it depends on whether the eldest brother can seize it, if the eldest brother doesn't want to go, then no one can do it, but if the eldest brother wants to go, it is his own choice." ”

"Ruolan, it's good that you can think so." Pang Gang nodded, what he was afraid of was Ruolan's incomprehension, so he said hello to Ruolan in advance, and now seeing Ruolan's attitude, he relieved himself.

However, Pang Gang still asked a little worriedly: "Ruolan, with your understanding of your eldest brother, will your eldest brother go to Obaro?" ”

"Yes!" Kong Ruolan nodded and said affirmatively, "My father now dreams of making the business bigger, Qingzhou can no longer satisfy him, and now that he has a new way, he will naturally not let it go." ”

Since leaning on the big tree of Pang Gang, the business of the Kong family has naturally become bigger and bigger, Pang Gang handed over the cement sales right in Qingzhou to him, and Kong Wen has done the business of Jubao Zhai, and the business is still very prosperous, but at the time of turmoil, the jewelry business will naturally not be too good, and the Kong family also wants to open up other sources of wealth, and Kong Ruolan is still very clear about this.

"That's good, then I'll be relieved." Pang Gang asked again: "Ruolan, you said that if you mobilize the merchants of Qingzhou to go to Obaro to do business, will they go?" ”

Kong Ruolan pondered carefully for a while before smiling bitterly: "The husband asked the concubine this time, although the concubine can be sure that the eldest brother will go back, it is because of the relationship between the husband and the jun, and the envoys and officers and soldiers who go with him will protect the eldest brother, but if it is to let the merchants of Qingzhou and even Shandong not necessarily, after all, Obaro is too far away from our Daming." ”

"yes, it's too far!" Pang Gang sighed lightly, the mainland plot of the Chinese people is indeed different from the Westerners, since the fourteenth century, when the Westerners began to ride a small sampan on the ocean to adventure, the Chinese people still have inherent opinions and are not guarded, always thinking that the Yang Celestial Empire has everything, why go out to adventure, and it is this view that the distance from the world is getting farther and farther.

After pondering for a while, Pang just said: "The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the husband does not believe it, as long as there are enough benefits, will those businessmen who see money and eyes be able to endure it?" ”

Yes, some people really can't help it, in the next few days, there is one thing being discussed in Qingzhou City, that is, General Dingguo is going to send a mission to the Obaro continent, and he is gathering merchants who are willing to go together. The merchants who went to Obaro this time were not only escorted by the ship's warship, but also able to carry the goods with great power, for which the sailor also prepared a treasure ship.

Yes, you heard it right, it is the treasure ship, the treasure ship that Zheng He rode on when he went to the Western Ocean, I heard that this kind of treasure ship is much larger than the largest Spanish galleon owned by the Qingzhou sailors at present, with a displacement of 5,000 materials (equivalent to 2,500 tons in later generations). At the same time, he was accompanied by four Daifuku ships and thirteen fast cruisers, and the news quickly caused a sensation in Qingzhou, and it is still spreading throughout Shandong.

For a time, Pang Gang's cheap father-in-law, Kong Wen, the president of the Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce, was crowded with businessmen who came to inquire about the truth.

"President Kong, what is the prospect of going to Obaro, you should give us a clue!" A merchant in his forties, with a goatee and a thin face, anxiously urged Kong Wen, who was sitting on the main seat silently, and beside this goatee sat a large group of merchants with different expressions, all of whom were looking at Kong Wen with blank eyes.

They are all local businessmen in Qingzhou and even all over Shandong, from all walks of life, since Pang Gang took charge of Qingzhou, everyone publicly recommended Kong Wen as the president of the Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce, in order to let Kong Wen fight for their interests, these two said, they saw the notice posted outside the general's mansion to go to Obaro, and people were boiling. Obaro, since the Yi people are often on the road in Qingzhou, the people of Qingzhou have slowly come to know these red-haired and white-skinned foreign devils, and slowly know that there are still many countries far away from the Ming Dynasty.

Kong Wen opened his eyes and said helplessly: "Everyone, the notice issued by the General's Mansion has already been told to everyone. Someone asked the old man, what if the loss is too big to go to the Obaro continent, the old man can only say this, if you encounter this kind of thing, you can only consider yourself unlucky, do business, no one can only make money and not lose, otherwise this is too ridiculous, everyone said is not this reason? ”

Goatee said angrily: "President Kong, we still don't understand what you said, but you can give us a thorough understanding, what is lacking in the Obaro Continent, what are the things that are rare in them, so we can prepare!" Your son-in-law is a big man, but he knows them well, so you can't say you don't know anything about it, can you? ”

This goatee's words made Kong Wen secretly scold his mother in his heart, but he didn't dare to offend so many peers at the same time, so he had to twist his beard and say: "Boss Hong, you can be regarded as asking the wrong person, my son-in-law just told me this, in fact, the old man thinks that you don't have to worry about this matter, you can look at what those Yi people buy in our Qingzhou to know what things are rare objects, as for other things, it depends on your luck." However, there are some things that the old man wants to say in front, although this is a way to make money in Obarro, but the road is far away, maybe when it will be swallowed by the wind and waves at sea and even people and boats, you must be mentally prepared, the so-called wealth and danger can not be said to be this reason! ”

"Yes, yes, what President Kong said is right, I think you still have to think about it after you go back, don't regret it when you run halfway, and you won't regret taking the medicine when the time comes." A fat man with a rosacea nose nodded in agreement.

"I'm sorry, Zheng Fatty, if you're afraid of death, just say it, no one will pull you with you, anyway, the seats on the ship are limited, if you don't go, we can still decorate more goods." The fat man was despised by his companions around him.

"Who...... Who the fuck is not afraid of death, if you are not afraid of death, why don't you go to the army and earn an official body with a huge man, in the ...... What a big-tailed wolf here! This Zheng fat man is not a good stubble, and he sneered back with a sip of wine, and the scene fell into chaos for a while.

In the end, Kong Wen pressed down, "Okay, what's the noise, no one who doesn't want to go is forcing him, now everyone is reporting his name to the old man, and everyone who wants to go has to write the goods they want to bring, how many people they want to go, and what name they want to write, and the old man is good to hand over to the huge people, everyone should remember that once you sign up, you can't regret it, otherwise don't blame the old man for reminding you before he is fine." ”

"President Kong, I'll go!"

"Let's go too!"

"And the ...... where we also go to the vast yuan"

In the face of everyone's enthusiastic registration, the four bookkeepers who were responsible for copying and registering were busy for most of the hour before completing the registration.

It wasn't until everyone left that Kong Lin, who had been waiting behind Kong Wen, snorted coldly: "These old foxes, obviously they have all made up their minds to follow us to pick up the cheap, and they don't forget to ask us for news, beautiful them!" ”

Kong Wen shook his head with emotion and said: "This can't be blamed on them, after all, don't say it's them, even if we don't have a bottom in our hearts, Obaro is thousands of miles away from us, if we don't have a good son-in-law, maybe we're hesitating." ”

Speaking of this, there was a hint of pride on Kong Wen's face, he is a businessman, he often tells his son that the most proud thing he has done in his life is to fall in love with Pang Gang such a potential stock, and recruited him as a son-in-law when Pang Gang was only a small hundred households, and now this son-in-law has become a second-class member of the dynasty, holding tens of thousands of male soldiers, with this relationship, who looks down on the entire Jiangnan and looks down on his Kong family.

Kong Lin asked a little puzzled: "Daddy, the child just doesn't understand, why Chao Dong must ask the child to go to Obaro in person, you must know that this road is not smooth, he is not afraid of any accidents for the child?" ”

"You!" Kong Wen pointed at Kong Lin and scolded with some hatred: "In vain, you have been with the old man for so many years, why don't you understand, Chaodong wants our Kong family to be an example, that is, to set a benchmark, otherwise how can those lords who don't see rabbits and eagles rush to sign up today!" ”

"Oh...... I see! Only then did Kong Lin understand Pang Gang's hard work.
