The object sent by the Zheng family to discuss cooperation is already an old man who has had several contacts with Zhang Tianwen, Zheng Hongqi, the cooperation between the Zheng family and Australia is basically in charge of him, first, he has the Zheng family's intelligence system in his hands, and he can grasp a certain initiative in negotiations, and second, he has cooperated with the Australians many times and established a certain friendship between the two sides.

"Consul Zhang, let's meet again, remember that the last time we met was in Quanzhou three months ago, but you weren't so fat at that time, it seems that the water and soil in Guangzhou really raised people, and you have gained a lot of weight." Zheng Hongkui said with a smile.

For him, the spy leader, there are not many compliments, so if he were to be replaced by someone else, he would definitely not say that the other party was so fat, but would say that he was blessed, and the difference in words between the two can be seen how high and low the horse is.

Of course, for this commander of the Jinyi Guard, there is no need to pat on the back at all, some people pat him on the back, and they don't have to learn how to pat the fart.

Recently, Zhang Tianwen, who has been a little blessed, will naturally not be unhappy because of the other party's words, the most important thing is that the other party and himself are ordinary friends, and every time it comes to the cooperation between Australia and the Zheng family, he basically discusses it.

"It's true that I'm a little fat, and I've been moving around less recently, I'm going to go to Quanzhou in a while, and you will have to entertain me well."

"I heard that Australia has cooperated with Spain and the Portuguese to produce a kind of steam ship, I don't know if this kind of ship has any intention of exporting, you know that the Zheng family is in the maritime transportation business, if there can be such a ship, it will greatly reduce the transportation cost and improve the transportation efficiency."

After sitting down, before the tea was drunk, Zheng Hongkui began to go directly to the topic, which is also a principle of his work, which may have a lot to do with his martial arts background. To be exact, he likes to go straight and doesn't like to go around a lot of bends without results.

The clouds come and go, that is what a scholar should do, not what a martial artist should do, so he is so direct every time, and Zhang Tianwen, who understands his temperament, will naturally not be too surprised.

"Intention to do this. How do I answer," Zhang Tianwen said, pausing suddenly.

In fact, Australia also wanted to export, but the object of export was definitely not the Zheng family, but the sailors of the Ming Dynasty, who helped the sailors of the Ming Dynasty to recover to a certain combat effectiveness, which could resist the Houjin and contain the Zheng family, so that they would not dare to do anything.

After all, the military strength of the Australians is limited, and the possibility of relying on the two warships in Hong Kong to contain the entire Zheng family fleet is too low, and they can mobilize forces from other places to break through. And the other side has more than one base.

Therefore, on the issue of exporting the Zheng family, everyone maintains a cautious attitude, and the most important thing is that everyone is not at ease with the Zheng family, this is not the biggest warlord in the Ming Dynasty is not like someone else's birth, he is a pirate born, and it is indeed possible to do something.

According to Australia's deployment, the Zheng family must not be in Daming in the future, and the greatest possibility is to let them go to Annan. There is a vast land there, and in order to avoid disputes between sea and land in the future. Only letting the Zheng family go there to be the local soil emperor is the best choice.

And their stay in the country is also a threat to the reform of the Ming Dynasty, first of all, in terms of customs and taxation, it touches the interests of the Zheng family, and they will not agree at all, not to mention that they still have 100,000 private troops in their hands.

These private armies don't matter who you are, the Zheng family will listen to the Zheng family if they give him money. As for whether the Zheng family rebelled or not, they didn't care, as long as they could be fed, fed, and paid.

With these prerequisites there, if Australia is selling steamships to the other party, it is not to add a rival to itself, in the words of later generations, it is very stupid.

If you do this kind of stupid thing, it is estimated that future generations will point to your backbone and scold.

So at this time, Zhang Tianwen didn't know how to answer the other party. In addition to this reason, some parts of the country support exports, after all, they will also export after the saturation of ships in Spain and the Netherlands in the future, how can a big customer like the Zheng family push it out.

If the Zheng family's order is accepted, the local shipyard will be able to expand at least twice, and the production capacity will also be doubled.

So before the results of the current domestic discussions, no one dares to say anything, and the most important thing is that the ships have not yet come out, and the local shipyards need some orders to maintain the current expenses.

You Nanzhe's shipyard will be in a desperate situation if there is no order, let alone provide steam engines to the other two shipyards, even if these local workers can't support them, how to provide them with machines, so You Nanzhe is very hopeful to accept this order.

At least for now, he very much hopes to be able to obtain this order, if he can get the order, not to mention the expansion of the shipyard, but also to complete a certain amount of technical research, at present, several domestic trading companies have no intention of buying ships, this embarrassing situation simply put the shipyard in a desperate situation.

If it weren't for the government subsidy, I'm afraid it would have closed down a long time ago, and now that government funds are tightening, the cost of subsidies is getting lower and lower, and he has to be forced to come up with other ways to save the shipyard.

It is really embarrassing that Australia's shipbuilding industry will fall into such a situation before it has even started, and You Nanzhe very much does not want the shipyard he created to fall into a state of closure like this.

These days, he has been trying to convince the military and other parliamentarians, but others have not been persuaded, but are persuading him to give up such an idea, what kind of person is the Zheng family, it is not so easy to deal with, and if he sells it to him now, it will definitely pose a threat to himself in the future, not to mention, and he has planted a time bomb.

In fact, the parliamentarians' consideration is not wrong at all, this time bomb will definitely explode in the next few years, and the threat to Australia will definitely be greater than it is now, and the question of who has the final say in the East China Sea will really be established.

The most important thing is that the Zheng family is too ambitious, Zheng Zhilong is not a good person, in history, the lord betrayed his sworn brother to mix up with the official, and he also has a history of surrendering to Houjin, in case this guy takes the ship to Houjin in the future, won't it bring him more trouble.

Don't care what you say, so you just don't agree, the parliamentarians don't agree with You Nanzhe, so they can only be anxious, in fact, it's useful to be anxious, and you have to come up with a solution to the problem. (To be continued......)
