Chapter 110 Breaking into the Mansion
Lunch was very generous.
Zhu Daolin specially brought the fine wine but not every guest liked, because they could not bear the intensity of Yanghe wine, Moreno and Sanchez, who were over forty years old, chose mellow rice wine, Aznar, the commercial counselor who served as a captain of the Spanish Navy, and his two entourages liked the mellow and strong Yanghe wine, and Mr. Sayide chose fragrant tea as always, but every guest liked the exquisite and delicious dishes very much.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors, the atmosphere of the banquet is relaxed and warm like the fragrant Yanghe wine, several groups of guests seem to have lost their guard, and the guests and hosts frequently raise their glasses, bless each other, and gradually begin to involve the possible trade cooperation between each other.
Under the continuous questioning of the guests, Zhu Daolin officially stated his attitude: "As the largest bank shareholder in the entire Ming Empire, I am very honored to meet and meet the business elites from Europa and the southeast coastal region, and I am also very willing to discuss trade cooperation with all of you. ”
"However, I don't think you have a full understanding of our bank, that is, Bofu Money, and the trade field we are involved in, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble and even possible losses to you, I suggest that you wait in Jinling City for five days."
"Tomorrow is the grand festival of the Chinese, the Lantern Festival, and it is also the opening celebration of the joint large shop jointly established by our Bofu Qian Zhuang shareholders, you can go and see if the goods displayed in the big shop meet your needs, and my partners Mr. Ying Changpei, Mr. Zhang Deyi and Mr. Yan Yihe will warmly welcome you."
"Thank you very much, we have heard about this unprecedented mall and have decided to visit it." The Portuguese Moleno responded enthusiastically.
The rest of the guests also said that they must cherish this rare opportunity to appreciate the prosperous commerce and exquisite goods of the Ming Empire, and then negotiate with Zhu Daolin and others.
Zhu Daolin raised his hand. He made a gesture to ask everyone to be quiet: "There is another very important reason why you are invited to stay in Jinling City for five days, within five days, a batch of valuable goods will arrive in Jinling City, including some exquisite crystal products, a series of industrial products made with advanced technology. and a series of porcelain samples that are far more exquisite than Jingdezhen ceramics and more in line with Europa's aesthetics. ”
"I hope to show you these exquisite goods that have not yet appeared in the market of the Ming Empire, and at the same time, I also want to show my sincere attitude."
The guests who were surprised cheered excitedly, Ying Changpei and Zhang Deyi were also surprised, they hadn't heard Zhu Daolin say this before, and from their understanding of Zhu Daolin, if they really shipped back exquisite goods that they had never seen in five days, it would definitely be better than the series of goods they were operating now.
Moreno, the veteran of the Portuguese East India Company, stood up first and solemnly made a "small request":
"Dear Mr. Zhu, please forgive me for taking the liberty of making a small request to you. Can you provide us with a batch of internal parts for the Polaris table clock produced by Tianshuku? I am willing to buy in bulk at 70% of the selling price of the finished product! ”
"To be honest, I, all the shareholders of the Portuguese East India Company and my friends around me have great admiration for the exquisite technology of the Tianshu Pavilion, and the level of design and metal smelting and processing technology they have displayed in the field of large-scale chiming clock manufacturing has reached a shocking level."
"I don't think anyone in the world can have such superb science and technology except for the mysterious and powerful Tianshu Pavilion!"
All the Franc people looked eagerly at Zhu Daolin.
Zhu Daolin thought for a moment and nodded slowly: "Yes." However, orders need to be placed three months in advance, and after five months, 5,000 to 10,000 sets of large self-striking movements in two sizes can be supplied. No more can be done. ”
"These two striking clocks will be sold openly in the United Shops, which will open tomorrow, and although there are not many of them, Monsieur Moleno will be able to see them as long as he passes by, and if you are interested, you can also see the two movements in full."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhu! Thank you very much! ”
Moleno happily thanked him, and the other Francos immediately began to talk excitedly. They all saw great business opportunities in the success of Moreno.
It was already afternoon when the luncheon was dispersed, Zhu Daolin said goodbye to the guests of the Buddha Machine, and hurriedly returned to Zizhu Garden, picked up a few concubines and Xu Fu and others, and rushed to the manor at the foot of Tiger Mountain by carriage.
Please wait for five days. It was Zhu Daolin who made the decision after repeated consideration, and the Franco-robots belonging to different countries saw huge business opportunities in him, and he also saw huge opportunities in these Franco-robots.
In order to give these Francophone people a greater shock, strengthen their impression and confidence, and promote the cooperative relationship between them to a higher level, Zhu Daolin must come up with better and more precious goods than the existing commodities of the Ming merchants, otherwise it will be difficult to establish long-term and stable trade relations with these Franco-machine people.
Although it is very tight to take out many samples to show to the Franc machine people in five days, Zhu Daolin thinks that he can do it, and it is worth running day and night for this.
Just when Zhu Daolin and his entourage drove out of Jinchuan Gate in two carriages, Wu Changshi, who had a blue nose and swollen face, and Hou Fangyu, who had escaped by luck, together with Zhang Pu, the leader of the Fushe Society who rushed to hear the news, urgently discussed together, and quickly organized a team of more than 130 people to redress grievances, and carried the six most beaten literati and the Zhou family members with door panels. The criminal act of beating dozens of people to show off their talents, and shouting the slogan of "severely punish the murderers and uphold justice" in grief and indignation, came to Ying Tianfu to complain.
In front of the Yamen of Yingtianfu, there was a crowd of people, and the noise was everywhere, and the literati in dirty clothes could be seen everywhere complaining to the onlookers about the criminal deeds of Chen Ye Taoist Zhu Daolin and Zhang Deyi, the son of the Marquis of Longping, for "robbing people's wives and concubines, and beating people to show off their talents".
Occasionally, some people raised doubts, thinking that the approachable little Taoist Zhu would not do such a thing, and immediately attracted the siege and scolding of many scholars, so frightened that no one dared to raise any objections.
Hearing the news, many officials who rushed to maintain order panicked, and did not dare to beat or scold in the face of hundreds of literati carrying the wounded, so they could only hurriedly protect the gate of the government and report the situation to Ye Chengzhang, Lord Yin.
Jinshi Zhang Pu, Juren Wu Changshi, Xiucai Hou Fangyu and others discussed a little and decided to make the momentum bigger in one go, so more than 100 literati shouted in unison with grief and indignation, and broke into the gate of the government with righteous indignation.
The dozens of officials who had not yet stabilized their positions were instantly rushed to pieces.
After more than 100 literati let out bursts of cheers, they all broke into the courtyard in front of the hall of the government office, and carried the six babbling wounded people on the door panel to the bottom of the steps and lined up.
