Zheng Dagongzi walked away with a spring breeze on his face, although he knew that this batch of weapons would not fall into the hands of the Zheng family, but at least he was sure of one thing, there would be dozens of them that were definitely in his hands, this is friendship, and his friendship with Australians is not so comparable.

Coming with sorrow and joy, the task of the eldest prince of Zheng was also half completed, and not long after he left, the Portuguese also came with gifts.

As soon as the two sides met, they began to have a big set of friendships, saying that the two families were just separated by a sea and should have more contacts.

He Yu despised the Portuguese in his heart, buddy, this is here to save the people of the Ming Dynasty and the fire and water are hot, are you here to colonize and enslave people, can you compare, isn't this on a leveling line.

Well, contempt is contempt, the person who comes is the guest, you can't reach out and hit the smiling person, let alone people with gifts.

"Mr. Larry is here for the sake of weapons, I'm afraid you also met Zheng Gongzi before you came in just now, and he came for this matter, he revealed to me that he was willing to pay two hundred silver dollars a rifle to buy, I don't know what you think about it."

"Oh, two hundred, this is simply too cheap, Your Excellency General, if such a good weapon is only worth two hundred silver dollars, it is an insult to it, I am willing to pay two hundred and five for each, what do you think?"

Two hundred and five, He Yu is simply speechless, is there such a bid from you, you will die if you pay a fraction.

"Well, this price is indeed not low, but the Zheng family should also pay for it, if so, I'm afraid this batch of weapons can only be sold to them." He Yu said lightly.

Larry, who looked dazed, asked a little puzzled: "Why is this, Your Excellency General, why did you choose to sell to the Zheng family for the same price, have you forgotten the partnership between Portugal and Australia?" ”

Larry asked, obviously he couldn't accept this choice, the price was his own, but the final sale was not his own, no one wanted to.

"It's true that you made a bid, but when Zheng Gongzi left, he left a sentence that if someone offered a higher price, he would be willing to buy it at a price five silver dollars higher than that bidder, do you think this gun should be given to him?"

"Ah, five more." Larry was a little annoyed, what kind of quote is this, isn't this annoying, where is there such an offer.

Slightly straightened and adjusted his tone, Larry said: "We can also pay the same price of five silver dollars for this batch of weapons, I hope you will sell us this batch of weapons for the sake of the friendship between Portugal and Australia, if you can sell it to us, I can guarantee that you will give certain preferential treatment in helping your country transport foreign workers." ”

Larry said this, it is considered a bloody investment, you must know that the price of each laborer is almost two hundred silver dollars per laborer, if it is lower, it can only be more than a hundred, and this price is cheaper than the Spaniards and Dutch, they will earn less.

"Well, Mr. Larry, I'll seriously consider your suggestion, and I'll need to ask for advice from home on whether or not to sell it to you, but I can promise you that you won't leave empty-handed."

He Yu said this, which can be regarded as a guarantee to him, Larry is naturally satisfied, what if the Zheng family can pay a high price, the foreign workers needed in Australia still rely on the Portuguese to transport, and now I will directly give you each of you some less transportation costs This is definitely a mutually beneficial deal.

From the face of the young General He Yu, Larry had already seen that he was moved, so he was not worried that the other party would lie to him.

Larry left with the same look of satisfaction, and the other two that followed with the same expression, and none of them received an answer as to who they were selling to.

The Zheng family was willing to pay a high price for these weapons, and the Portuguese offered the same price, and at the same time were willing to give Australia preferential treatment in transporting immigrants, and the Spanish gave a relatively lower price, but they promised to provide a call for all Australian merchant ships in Manila.

The Dutch offered the same price as the Spaniards, but they promised to carve out a piece of territory in the Malay Peninsula for Australia.

Combined with the conditions provided by the four, in fact, it is not low, if it is low, it belongs to the Spaniards, because Australian cargo ships can dock at other nearby islands even if they do not choose Manila to dock for supplies.

The telegram was sent back home, and there was almost no need to think about what kind of reply could be obtained, and owning a piece of territory in the Malay Peninsula was actually very important to Australia, but it was nominally owned by the Dutch, but the actual control of the place was the British.

Therefore, the domestic intention is to sell this batch of weapons to the Portuguese first, after all, the benefits in hand are relatively easy to see, although the Dutch give more benefits, but it is not excluded that they want to use the Australians to contain the British, who are becoming more and more powerful.

With the answer, He Yu knows how to reply to everyone, in fact, the country has begun to agree to sell arms, and as long as you give money in the future, you can buy them, and the reason why each family is so eager to cut it is not only to probe the wind, but also because of the fear that the Australians will not be selling, after all, the weapons exported by Australia can be counted on one finger.

In the following days, the families, accompanied by the staff of the military government on Hong Kong Island, visited the factories and houses under construction, and expressed their shock at the speed of construction in Australia, and at the same time estimated how much benefit they could bring to the products produced by the completion of these factories.

Some people have even begun to wonder whether to cooperate with Australians to build a factory here, after all, Australian goods are in short supply.

However, this is just to think about it, if the two sides really enter the cooperation period, I am afraid that they will not make a final decision until these factories are completed and put into production, just like the gentry and wealthy businessmen of Daming.

Eventually, after a few days of conversation, the arms fell into the hands of the Portuguese, and each was sold for two hundred and fifty-five silver dollars, and the Portuguese promised to give preferential prices in the transportation of labor, whether from Europe or the Ming Dynasty, and the price of transportation per person would be reduced by ten silver dollars per person.

When the news of He Yu's announcement was announced, the other countries were surprised by the conditions put forward by the Grape People, and they regretted how they did not think of it, especially the Dutch, almost half of the number of laborers imported from Europe by Australia every year were transported through Dutch merchant ships, and the preferential treatment in this regard must be greater than that of the Portuguese.

Although the other families did not buy this weapon, He Yu also promised that in the near future, as long as they are willing to buy, the military factories in Australia will produce customized products for them as long as they are willing to buy them.
