"Uncle, how could this Australian chart be wrong, how could that route mark not be there when it reached Batavia." Zhao San looked at Zhao De with a surprised face, this picture of the entire ship was only seen by him and his uncle, and it was impossible for others to do anything.

Zhao De was also puzzled at this time, and finally thought of what Mr. Liu said when he was leaving, he didn't understand what was going on at the time, but now he seems to have a certain meaning when he thinks about it.

Later, it will be enough to transport people to Batavia.

Could it be that Mr. Liu's hands and feet, it must be like this, Mr. Liu is quite strange and mysterious, not as close as Mr. Zhao, and I heard Australians say that Mr. Liu used to be a detective, which was similar to Jinyiwei.

Although Zhao De repeatedly promised that he would not leak the chart, the members of the executive committee did not dare to pin their lives on such a promise like a big gamble. If Zhao De is good and trustworthy, it's okay to say, but if it's not good, it's too dangerous.

The brush used to indicate that the drawing was used in the sea area from Manchester City to Batavia was drawn by Liu Yun with a special pen for imported agents from the United States, and it was only kept on the paper for a few hours.

Thinking about the key, Zhao De's heart was put down a lot, but he immediately thought that if he didn't find Mr. Zhao and Mr. Liu in Batavia, wouldn't his two boats of people be in vain, in order to earn the two hundred taels of a person's capitation fee, he took out most of the profits from selling mirrors and bought a big boat to transport people, this time the two ships set sail towards the Manchester City base, and basically did not rest except for the necessary supplies of fresh water and food along the way.

This way down finally arrived in Batavia, so I took out the navigation chart to see how to go next after the direction and supplies, and was surprised to find that the route on the map suddenly disappeared, which was the surprise of their uncle and nephew.

"Little third son, let's go to Batavia first, and wait until we find Mr. Zhao and Mr. Liu talking."

At the same time that Zhao De instructed Zhao San, Liu Yun and John met again, but this time the location was not at the construction site of the embassy, but in John's house in Batavia.

"John, I believe that you must have brought me good news this time, tell me, what it is." Liu Yun smiled lightly.

"Of course, my friend, Yun, you listen carefully, do you hear anything."

As the conversation between the two stopped and the room quieted down, Liu Yun heard some unusual barking, like a puppy barking or a camel.

"Oh, what is this sound, is this the call of an alpaca?"

John, who had been friends with Liu Yun for a long time, learned his regular movements and snapped his fingers: "Yes, that's right, do you want to see these noisy guys, I haven't had a good night's sleep since I arrived, because you can always hear these guys screaming." ”

Liu Yun was a little speechless about John's signature moves, but he didn't blame the other party.

"Haha, really!" Listening to John's complaints, Liu Yun was a little crying and laughing, he had only seen grass mud horses in novels before, and sometimes he liked to bark, but he didn't confirm it, and now John's expression seems to be true.

Putting down the wine glass in his hand, under the leadership of John, he came to the small garden behind, and saw four divine beasts with fluffy white as snow, walking leisurely in the yard, sniffing the flowers with his nose and the low branches with his right.

Seeing the comer, the beasts seemed to be frightened, and walked towards a corner collectively.

"Well, Cloud, is this the kind of alpaca you're looking for? It's not easy to find these guys, you know how much money and money I spent to find them at the house of a Spanish merchant in Luzon, and I paid a lot of commission to buy them. ”

Hearing the other party babble so much, from the perspective of the business field, it is just that the other party wants a better price.

"The difficulty of this, I know, John, we are old friends, you make a price, as long as it is reasonable, we will make a deal, I see that you don't seem to like these guys, I believe you don't like these guys to stay here for a few more days."

I don't know if John is too poisonous in Liu Yun or thinks it's cool to snap his fingers, this guy actually snaps his fingers again: "I like to hear your words, you know, as long as you say it, you won't let me down, let's go back to the house and continue to talk while enjoying red wine." ”

After sitting down, Liu Yun raised his glass and clinked glasses with John, "Can we talk now?"

"Of course, my friend, these alpacas are quite expensive, and you know that these guys are from South America, and the Spaniards have spent a lot of money on shipping them, and I am buying them from them, and of course the shrewd Spanish merchants will not make a loss-making deal, so the final price is."

John didn't say the price, but gave a slap in the face.

"Five hundred Spanish silver dollars." Liu Yun asked tentatively.

If so, the price of one is about three hundred and sixty taels of silver, and the exchange of a Spanish silver dollar into silver during this period is about 0.72.

"Yun, you are so smart, you must know that at this price I just charged you a little freight from Luzon to Batavia, in fact, most of it was earned by the damn Spanish merchants, you know that I am just a small steward under the British East India Company, I am not rich."

"Yes, yes, I know." Liu Yun sniffed at John's explanation, I believe it's strange, don't look at the price of the four alpacas added up to more than 1,000 taels of silver, but when converted into later generations, the RMB is almost more than 800,000 yuan or close to 900,000, which is still calculated by exchanging one tael of silver for 600 yuan, if it is higher and close to one million, it is also possible.

According to the price of alpacas in the country in later generations, it is about 50,000 to 60,000 alpacas, this price is relatively high, but for the current traversal, it is not too expensive, one side is tens of thousands of taels of silver, and the development of animal husbandry is also the development task mentioned by the executive committee. Therefore, Liu Yun did not bargain too much, and the final transaction price between the two parties was set at 800,000 Spanish silver dollars.

According to John's request, the payment method was changed to 800,000 Australian goods to pay, and the face he got from Liu Yun last time was shipped back to London by ship and sold at a very good price, so he was looking forward to the new goods that Australians were about to bring.

Coming out of John's residence, Liu Yun walked on the streets of Batavia, and suddenly had a feeling of a local tyrant, today we will spend hundreds of thousands of people a day, but I don't know if this matter is transmitted back to the Manchester City base, whether it is good or bad, just as he was thinking, a slightly familiar voice suddenly appeared behind him: "Mr. Liu, is it you?" ”
