Chapter 58: Overseas Visitors (1)
Li Yanqing, who has experience in two lifetimes, naturally knows how difficult it is to requisition land. Even in later generations, this was a difficult task, and in the Ming Dynasty, this work was even more difficult to carry out. In particular, these people were sent by the Liang family to deliberately make trouble, and it was a pipe dream to reach an understanding with them through friendly consultation.
And if you want to do this, you are likely to offend Liang Ruimin. The Portuguese can definitely give themselves more benefits than Liang Ruimin. However, Liang Ruimin, as a local clan leader, can provide him with great assistance in his daily county politics, which is incomparable to those foreign devils. Therefore, in this matter, it is not wise for him to help any one, but to achieve a win-win situation by supporting two families with one hand.
He nodded, "I know about this." However, this land acquisition is put on hold for the time being. After the official has straightened out the affairs of the land, we will talk about other things. For now, all you have to do is manage your people and don't get into conflict with them. These villagers are waiting to make trouble now. As long as they do it on both sides, they will definitely be able to go to the provincial capital, and I can't help it then. ”
"Yes, we all understand that. It won't embarrass you. ”
When he returned to the castle, Simang saw that Li Yanqing's expression was not as firm as just now, and he was afraid that this matter that had been negotiated with great difficulty would change again, so he was busy and relieved: "Your Excellency, don't worry too much, this matter is a matter of despisy after all, even if the gun factory and church cannot be built, our business still has to be done." ”
"That's not the problem, Mr. Simao. The problem is that if you back down this time, then you don't want to do anything else in the future. Liang Ruimin will disrupt any of your business activities, and this method can be used in various situations. So if you want to solve this problem, you still have to talk to him about it. ”
Simão shrugged his shoulders, "He has been a middleman for me all these years, and he has turned him from a poor ghost to a rich gentleman." But he was too dissatisfied to get the exclusive distribution rights of those two commodities. God is above, how is that possible. I am still going to put up the exclusive distribution rights of these two commodities for auction, how can I give them to him? ”
"Merchandise? What commodities are worth the go-to effort? If you want me to say, it is convenient for you to be with others, and it is convenient for yourself. Liang Ruimin is going to be cured, but isn't it urgent for you to build a church? My personal opinion, if it's not a product that is too important, you can give him a dealership, but it would be nice to add a time limit. Besides, when you pass the curtain in front of you,
In the future, if you say it or not, will he still be able to sue you? ”
Simão refused to nod, but asked Bugarao to come back and fetch two boxes. "Here are samples of two commodities, and I believe that after reading it, you will understand why I refuse to give up the exclusive distribution rights."
The first box was opened, the powder inside was crystal white, Li Yanqing dipped a little with his hand, and licked it lightly with his tongue, "Salt?" ”
"That's right, salt. Salt of very high purity. With all due respect, I have never seen fine salt of such purity in your country, and I am sure it will fetch a good price. ”
"Then I have to remind you that it is illegal to resell illicit salt in our country."
"A crime that is not discovered is not a crime. I think Your Excellency agrees, doesn't you? I know that it brings profits, and that's enough. As long as you can help me solve this land problem, I will hand over the exclusive agency of this salt in Xiangshan. ”
"Let's take a look at the second item first."
The second box was opened, and the powder inside was still as white as snow, but this time when I licked it, the taste was sweet. "Sugar?"
"yes. The real meaning of white sugar, the so-called white sugar in the past, is just yellow or red, and I have never seen such a snow-white granulated sugar. This kind of commodity is put on the market, and the huge profits, I have already seen the gold coins beckoning to me. ”
"I'm sorry Monsieur Simao, but I can only regret that the gold is leaving you. You have to tell me where you got these goods from, and who made them, and that's important to me. It is related to whether our cooperation can continue, and it is also related to the future relationship between Daming and your country. ”
After tasting it, Li Yanqing had already concluded that the maker of these things should be the same as himself, and he was also a traverser. Whether it is salt or sugar, its texture and color are infinitely close to modern salt and sugar, which must be from the handwriting of the traveler. And these things I didn't see in Xiangshan, but they appeared in the hands of foreigners, which shows that they are not from legal channels.
How big is the plan of a traverser who collects money through illegal means? Or what he wanted to do, he couldn't be sure whether this person was like himself, living in peace or if he wanted to die. If it's the latter, then he can only send it on the road.
Ximang's original intention was to use these two products with unlimited business opportunities to pull Li Yanqing into the water, cooperate with himself, and bring down Liang Ruimin. Unexpectedly, Li Yanqing's reaction was completely different from what he expected, and at the same time raised this matter to the height of the relationship between the two parties. The so-called diplomacy is no trivial matter, and Simão did not dare to wait for it this time.
"These goods...... Actually, they came from a secondary dealer from whom I bought them and sold them. ”
"This deception is pointless. If that's the way you market, how much profit do you have left? Let's make it clear that if I want to find a person or a group of people, I will definitely be able to find it. Daming has a pervasive brocade guard, and there are enough people and strong officials, and whether it is salt or sugar, they need manpower and territory. Do you think that such a big movement will not leave even a trace? If I find this person in the end, then I'm sorry, all the friendship between us can only be nullified, and you don't even want to keep the right of residence in Macau. ”
"This ...... It seems like a bit of a fuss, they're just a bunch of businessmen. ”
"They? Pack? It can be seen that it is not alone. Don't sue me, you haven't seen them, what you just said is just nonsense. Do you still want to build a church, do you still want to build a gun factory, and do you want to do business with Daming? ”
"Your Excellency, your request is too much. You must know that I am an honest and trustworthy businessman who is loyal to my friends, and your request is to make me a despicable leaker, and it is a great harm to my reputation. ”
"Loyalty is because the price of betrayal is not enough. You don't talk nonsense, do you talk about it or not? You'd better think clearly, as long as you sue me for a place, these ten hectares of land are yours. If you don't say it, then I'll go and ask Bugarao directly. The credit for this land will also belong to him. ”
"Hey, you can't do that, he doesn't know as much as I do, I've dealt with them several times."
