Chapter 378 Matters
In the following days, Zhao Hongyu accompanied Emma and Sara every day to hang out in Cairo.
I thoroughly felt the Egyptian style and customs of this era.
He was completely relaxed and thought of it as a trip.
It is also a complete and complete relaxation after coming to this world.
Of course, Zhao Hongyu also completed negotiations with Abdullah and determined the establishment of a 'Carrefour' supermarket in Egypt.
He also promised to provide him with shampoo, shower gel, matches, bags of rice, white flour, and some other household goods.
And Abdullah is responsible for managing the store and promoting it at the same time.
Basically, what he was going to do was the same thing that Ed was going to do in Lisbon.
It's just that Ed, the little fat man, is in charge of promotion on the European continent, while Abdullah is in charge of Africa and the Arab world.
As for the slave trader who sold the nun Jenny, when Wang Shan found him and wanted to discuss the possibility of further cooperation with him, he found that this guy had disappeared without a trace with his men.
Wang Shan thought that this guy might be timid, so he ran away.
After all, the church is not something that anyone can provoke.
Although Sister Jenny fell into his hands because of the betrayal of her own people.
But in order to hide this secret, it is not necessary that the church will send someone to dispose of him if it is not good.
It is with this threat in mind that this slave trader will run away.
Anyway, Wang Shan didn't necessarily want to cooperate with him very much, so Wang Shan was not much disappointed with the disappeared slave traders.
Since he doesn't want to cooperate, forget it.
Now that His Royal Highness has negotiated with Abdullah, it is not bad to have such a person as Abdullah.
Wang Shan and Zhao Hongyu are clear about the prospects of the 'Carrefour' supermarket.
Maybe only Abdullah is still a little apprehensive.
In fact, supermarkets have already appeared in the city of Manhattan, but they are not large.
After negotiating this with Abdullah. After Zhao Hongyu decided to return to the Americas, he immediately established the flagship store of the supermarket.
At the same time, the construction of the Lisbon concession was also coming to an end and began to be put into use.
The beginning of the concession and the influx of goods from the Americas led to the arrival of a large number of merchant ships and merchants in Lisbon, which made commerce very prosperous for a time.
Because the concession has extraterritoriality and independent garrison rights, it can be said to be a country within a country.
So, some of the opponents in Lisbon who have different opinions about Spain. will secretly run to the concession to live.
They could be in the open and open in the concession, giving speeches and organizing protests against Spanish rule.
This is a big headache for the Lisbon authorities.
However, considering the agreement with the Song Empire in the Americas, the Spaniards could not do much about it.
In the end, they could only patiently negotiate with the consuls of the concession, hoping that the concession would come forward to arrest these people and hand them over to the Lisbon authorities.
Of course, the consul of the concession would not agree to such a request, but he could not refuse to offend the Spaniards in one go.
Therefore, the consul of the concession only used the word 'drag'. Dragged this thing down.
This made the Spaniards helpless and secretly regretted it at the same time.
Mary of France has completely controlled the territory of the former Duke of Orleans, as well as the territories of some other small and medium-sized nobles, which has made the royal family's strength swell all of a sudden.
So far. The French royal family is no longer as weak as it used to be, and can finally make its voice heard.
At the same time, the royal family's policies can also be smoothly promulgated and implemented. There will be no more situations where yin and yang are violated.
This made Mary high-spirited.
In order to thank Zhao Hongyu, who was responsible for the incident, and for the sake of France, Marie also allocated a large area of land around the estate near the port of Marseille. Handed over to the Song Empire to establish a new concession.
What happened in Lisbon, Mary still doesn't know anything.
If she had known about the problems that the Spaniards were having trouble with, she would not have been so happy to allocate land as a concession for the Song Empire in the Americas.
However, because of the conceptual gap, Mary, like the Spaniards, did not perceive the disadvantages of the rental world.
Now what people see is only the benefits and benefits brought by the concession.
Lisbon's business boomed, and the increase in merchant ships and people coming and going led to jobs and business opportunities in Lisbon.
This is obvious to all.
Business is booming, and jobs are increasing.
In addition to stabilizing people's morale, it can also increase Lisbon's tax revenue.
For the concession that could increase taxes, why should Mary refuse it?
Therefore, an invitation was sent to Lisbon and delivered to the consul.
As for the fact that the French also invited the empire to open a concession, only the brain-dead would refuse.
Therefore, the consul of the gene man made a decision and immediately sent someone to France to discuss the matter.
It didn't take long for the treaty to be signed and the construction phase began with the establishment of the concession in Marseille.
Both the French and the consul of the Song Empire in Lisbon snickered secretly, and both sides felt that they had taken a big advantage.
However, in the end, who took advantage of this, only the most reckless will know.
But in any case, the Song Empire was on the European continent, and it was considered to have laid two nails.
With these two nails, it will be much easier for Zhao Hongyu to use force against Europe in the future.
Of course, France is not the only country wishing to build concessions.
Other European countries all hoped that the Song Empire could establish a concession in its own port, after all, everyone could see the benefits of establishing a concession, right?
Since there are benefits, why should I fall behind?
For this reason, for a time, invitations from various countries were sent to the consul of the Song Empire in Lisbon like snowflakes.
For the invitation of these guys, the consul of the genetic concession did not refuse all of them.
He constantly visited these countries to discuss matters related to the concessions.
Therefore, for a long time to come, the concession took root in all countries on the European continent.
As for what happened on the European continent, Zhao Hongyu still does not know.
He is now in the royal palace of Egypt. Meet with members of the Egyptian royal family and discuss the establishment of supermarkets and concessions in Egypt.
Zhao Hongyu didn't see the glamorous royal family members in Egypt in his fantasy, which made him very disappointed.
Because the royals he met looked a bit like they were mentally retarded.
However, Zhao Hongyu quickly put this idea behind him and continued to talk to the other party about the concession and the supermarket.
Things went well, and after Zhao Hongyu paid a fee, a cliff wasteland near Alexandria was taken down.
At the same time, a prosperous area in Cairo has also been requisitioned for the construction of a supermarket.
As for what the current merchants of that area are doing. That's not something Zhao Hongyu has to think about.
Anyway, in the seventeenth century, when it was still relatively barbaric, the Egyptians would have used more ferocious means than the chengguan to deal with those merchants, didn't they?
At this point, Zhao Hongyu is still very confident in the Egyptians.
After choosing the land for the supermarket and the planning of the concession, Zhao Hongyu entered a leisurely time again.
Every day, he would be on the top floor, looking at the blue Mediterranean.
Otherwise, they would hang out with Emma and Sara and come back with a bunch of purchases.
Seemingly. Whether it is ancient or modern, women like to buy a bunch of things when they go shopping, which Zhao Hongyu deeply understands.
He now has money, though. Whatever the women spend.
At the same time, he will also play cards and games with Emma and Sara from time to time, so that the relationship between everyone will heat up quickly.
And between Zhao Hongyu and Cassandra. Every night there will be a hey from above.
After all, Cassandra's jiu-jitsu really made Zhao Hongyu unable to extricate himself.
Especially if this is still a black girl paper......
Compared with Zhao Hongyu and his wives, who live a comfortable and leisurely life. Jenny, a battle nun locked up in a dungeon, had a bit of a boring day.
No torture, no insults.
Every day, only Wang Shan came to the cell and told him the story.
The content of these stories is all about the war of gods and spirits in ancient times.
Each story will set up another story that will make Jenny want to stop.
Although she always hypnotizes herself in the bottom of her heart, she sees Wang Shan as a demon who seduces her to identify her beliefs.
But the story Wang Shan, and the information he said, was even more compelling than the people in the church.
And these words can stand up to scrutiny, and when you think about it carefully, you will find that the church is indeed full of loopholes as Wang Shan said.
Especially Jenny worked as an assassin for the Inquisition, for so many years.
She had killed many 'heretics' who had doubts about the church, so she was even more shaken.
Some of the miracles about God were preached from the church.
And none of them have been verified.
Whether it's true or not, no one can prove.
But Wang Shan said that these things are all made up, and none of them are true.
The Great Flood was not caused by God, it was a legacy of the War of the Sixth Age, but it was put on God's head and became a testimony of his anger.
Wang Shan's statement about the civilization of the Seven Ages made Jenny feel the most incredible.
This is completely beyond her concept and thinking.
However, with the perfection of various systems and the perfect view of the world without loopholes, Jenny has no way not to believe it, even if she doesn't believe it.
Besides, Wang Shan is worthy of being a master storyteller, and these nonsense worlds are said in his mouth, vividly, as if they are true.
At this point, Jenny began to waver.
However, in her mind, there was still the idea that Wang Shan was the devil.
Therefore, it will take a while to completely soften this battle nun. (To be continued.) )
