Chapter 467 Overseas Transport Fleet

No matter what Zheng Cai's heart thinks, Australia's operation in the Far East has begun, whether it is from Malacca or Hong Kong to Dayuan Island, this series of operations can be seen, the Australian figure.

The closer we get to 1644, the more Australia feels that time is pressing, and that years of preparation have been just lip service, with no practical action.

Take the hoarding of food and materials as an example, Australia has not yet paid real practical actions, of course, this is also inseparable from the current development of Australia, Australia because of its own development conditions are restricted, so it can not be good to carry out other aspects of action.

Like Zheng Cai's overseas transport team, there is another fleet flying the Australian flag, which is the Zhao family in Guangzhou, the Zhao family can be said to have completely relied on the Australians to start, the Australians have helped him a lot, Zhao De, who had only one small sea boat back then, has expanded to the owner of nearly 30 sea ships in the past two or three years.

Zhao De, who has become a real maritime businessman, has not forgotten his old business, transportation is his starting capital, so he has purchased more than 20 sea vessels, specializing in Southeast Asia and Australia to transport materials, which is why he has been one of the reasons why he has always become the general agent of Australian goods.

Gao Yi handed over more than 20 five-star red flags to Zhao De's hands, looked at the other party and said seriously: "Boss Zhao, in the future, the matter of transporting immigrants by sea will completely depend on you, these flags represent Australia, as long as anyone dares to intercept your ship or rob you for piracy, they will be retaliated by Australia." ”

Taking the flag, Zhao De's hands trembled a little, this kind of Australian flag is very difficult, generally speaking, only Australia's own ships can obtain, he once encountered a similar thing, the ship flying the Australian flag was not blocked and interrogated in the Dutch area of influence. And you need to pay a lot of money to pass, that's the difference.

Looking at this number, there are at least twenty or thirty, which means that Australia is very well prepared, and in order to allow itself to transport immigrants unimpeded, even the national flag that has not been issued to the public has been given to itself. It seems that transporting migrants is indeed very important to Australia.

Privately, Zhao De inquired about why Australia transported so many people to Malacca, and an Australian government worker told him that it was to open up the wasteland to grow grain, and the land here was fertile, but there was a lack of good hands for growing food.

To say that the price of transporting immigrants in Australia is also very fair, the price given by each person transported is one hundred and eighty taels, which can be said to be quite profitable. As long as you transport more, the more money you will get.

Therefore, this business is not a loss for Zhao De, and it can also be bought from the Australians, I heard that the Dutch in Batavia cannot help with transportation on a large scale because of the problem of ships, and he took over this business at this time, so it can be said that he sent charcoal in the snow.

The shipping prices of Zhao De and Zheng Cai are a little different, because the distance between Dayuan Island and Malacca is different, so the price of each person transported will naturally be different.

Before the official start of transportation, Gao Yi summoned the two to Hong Kong. After some entertainment, I asked if there were any other problems that needed to be solved.

Boss Zhao will hand over the task of transporting Malacca to you in the first month. Wait until two months by Mr. Zheng Cai is in charge, you see, after all, the transportation prices of the two places are different, and we Australians have always been fair.

Gao Yi drank a glass of hot wine, looked at the two and said, it is indeed fair to say that Australia is doing this. I can't fault the reason.

The happiest thing in this is Zheng Cai, who originally thought that this transporter was a chore, but later learned that this is a fat difference, and a very good fat difference, which can become the accumulation point of his original capital. As long as the capital accumulation is enough, he can buy guns and guns at all, and he does not need the assistance of Australians at all.

Zheng Cai is an ambitious person, which can be seen from his development of his own power under Zheng Zhilong, this time as the captain of the sea transport team can be said to be an opportunity, the Australians are rising strongly in Southeast Asia, as long as they rely on this big tree, they will not be wrong, and they can even be said to be very reliable.

Looking at Zhao De, this is said to have risen to become one of the best businessmen in Liangguang in only two or three years, and the number of ships under his hands can be compared with himself, this guy used to be a small maritime merchant with only one boat, but now he not only has money but also status, and even the governor of Liangguang often discusses countermeasures with him.

However, Zheng Cai felt that Zhao De had no ambitions, if he had the support of Australians, it would be a pity to be just a businessman, a businessman does not have a good social status, so he still wants to be a prince, like Zheng Zhilong, control the whole of Fujian, even the imperial court does not dare to say anything to him easily.

That's what you have to do, you must not just be a businessman, and becoming a prince is your ideal. Zheng Cai, who made up his mind, secretly vowed to have a good relationship with the Australians and do a good job in the things they explained, so that he could get more support and help, and this Zhao De in front of him was the object of his advice.

"Boss Zhao and I are both for the cause of Australian immigration, we don't care about a little money, as long as Boss Zhao is willing, this errand in Malacca has always been no problem for you."

Zheng Cai said politely, but he didn't think so in his heart, after all, the difference in transportation prices between the two places is not ordinarily large, the price difference is almost fifty taels, and ten people are five hundred taels.

Zhao Deren is old and sophisticated, so he naturally knows that the other party is just polite and shows generosity in front of Australians, if he takes it, it means that he is too greedy for money, so he also smiled and shirked.

Seeing that the two shirked and shirked, Gao Yi was a little disgusted, waved his hand, and said to the two: "Just do what you said before, so it's fair to you." ”

Seeing Gao Yi speak, the two of them were not good at what to say, one nodded in agreement, and the other smiled.

After the two sides always negotiated, Gao Yi refused the invitation of the second and left on his own.

And Zheng Cai is how to invite the other party to dinner, saying that it is really a blessing to know him, Zheng Cai is also a person who can come to things, three or two glasses of wine and Zhao De called a brother and brother, and finally the two of them left the table when they still supported each other and said, if there is anything in the future, as long as you say a word, you must go up the knife mountain and go down the sea of fire.

It's just a polite remark, but sometimes it has to be. (To be continued.) )
