Mace was still thinking about how to tell the young man what was worrying about her, and she was a little saddened that the other party had given her a chance. "Something went wrong in business, and a rival disrupted our plans with the intention of ruining the friendly cooperation between us and our suppliers. ”

"It's unfortunate. Downing continued to cooperate. "What do you know about that secret adversary?"

"I have the details of them, but I haven't thought about how to deal with them yet. Mace grumbled. "If anyone can think of the perfect solution, I'm willing to pay any price. ”

AZ Alkmaar was so generous that Downing didn't feel the need to continue. "Miss Mace, I'd like to try it. ”

"You?" Mace deliberately made a shocked expression as she looked at the young man.

"Yes, I'd like to take on this mission, but I have one condition. Downing moved out at the right time for a reasonable reason. "My lover wants to marry me as soon as possible, but their family doesn't like casinos and brothels for a living, and that's all I have, so I need to get their approval as soon as possible, I wonder if what you just said counts?"

Mace didn't want anyone to get involved in her own industry, which would have a serious impact on her status in the Alkmaar family, but she didn't have the right to refuse, and suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart, and the iceberg beauty deliberately showed an expectant expression. "You want to get involved in the spice business of Blott City?"

Tang Ning looked at the lady in front of him sincerely. "That's right, I hope to get your permission, of course I will solve the problem for you, and the result is guaranteed to be satisfactory. ”

"Well, for Lucas's sake, I can promise you terms, as long as you can solve the problem at hand, I can set aside twenty percent of the spice business for you to get involved in. Mace appropriately offered a price she could accept, and the twenty percent share of the spice business already made her feel a little painful.

"No, I'm going to be forty percent. Tang Ning did not shy away from his ambitions, because he knew that now he could ask for more, although this lady was very dissatisfied, but in the end he would agree, but he felt that this lady seemed to have the possibility of fighting, so there was no need to tear his face.

Mace was already trying hard to suppress the anger in his heart, and thought about it for a while. "Okay, Mr. Tangning, I promise you the conditions, you can get forty percent of the spice business, but the rules of the spice business are still dominated by me, what do you think?"

"Deal, I will make you satisfied, please give me the information of that opponent. Downing was full of confidence.

"Mr. Downing, if you can't do it, you have to pay some price accordingly, so it's fair. Metz added this clause to the basis of AZ Alkmaar.

"Yes, if I can't, my casino and brothel business will all be in your name. Tang Ning also offered enough prices to show his sincerity. "But in the course of my mission, I need the privilege of being able to mobilize all my forces, and I hope you will grant me. ”

Mace didn't expect the young man to show the greatest sincerity without thinking, and this young man's courage to take risks was indeed worth learning from her. "Okay, no problem, you can call on all the resources in my business, and I will give you a power of attorney on my behalf. ”

With the power of attorney in hand, Downing went to Fonte's residence to say goodbye to the temporary ally, and by the way, the ally could secretly be of some help.

"Don't worry, it's all arranged, as long as you do what I say, the results you want will be able to appear. Font vouched for Downing.

When Downing set off, Mace sent a few helpers, but he actually wanted to see how this young man could deal with a powerful opponent.

Spice wholesalers come from the far East, to experience months of sea drift, spices themselves are mysterious items from the East, can be used to drive away the smell of sweat on men, and can also be used to preserve food, and can even make food cooking simpler, as long as it is a housewife or a man, it is impossible to leave spices, which also determines that the spice business is a gold mine, containing unlimited wealth.

And those businessmen from the East are very vigilant, in order to ensure that the business is safe enough, they only like to trade with familiar partners, which is also the advantage of Mace.

"What should we do, sir?" the henchman sent by Mace to spy on Downing wanted to find out what the young man was planning.

"Quite simply, according to the records, this adversary involved in the spice business was able to gain the trust of the cunning merchants from the East, which means that he had maintained friendly relations with the merchants of the East. ”

Downing stood on the ship, from Blott to the port where the Oriental merchants docked, if you take the waterway, it will be much more convenient, about a day to reach the port of the Gold Coast, the port of the Gold Coast is the port that the merchants of the East are most familiar with, whether it is spices, tea, or fine silk, will enter from here.

He analyzed confidently. "In this way, it is likely that the adversary was engaged in the business of tea, or silk, or of one or both, in any case, and only then would he be able to speak quickly to the merchants of the East about spices. ”

The young man had two strokes, and the traitor sent secretly admired it. "And then, even if we know that, what's the use, after all, we know more important information, his name and family, we can tie him and his family to a stone and sink to the bottom of the sea, how simple. ”

Tang Ning looked back at the attendant who made the suggestion, took off his black top hat, arranged his hair with his hands, and shook his head. "If it were so simple, I don't think Miss Mays would need me, since that merchant dared to take a huge risk to get involved in Miss May's spice business, it means that the other party's means are not weak, and it is simply difficult to do what you said. ”

Speechless by Downing's rebuttal, several people looked at the young man. "Well, how the hell is that? ”

"Quite simply, he likes the spice business, so we can get involved in his tea or silk business and use the same methods against him, and he will be in a hurry. ”

There are some merchants with oriental faces on the Gold Coast, huge cargo ships docked in the port of the Gold Coast, and those hired laborers can earn a silver Caesar by moving down boxes of goods, which is simply a good job for the hard laborers who have no means of livelihood and can only earn money by brute force.

Looking at the past from the coastline, the giant ships of the East are like huge monsters on the sea, and they are also mountains of gold, representing wealth, because of the existence of these giant ships of the East, the Gold Coast is worthy of its name, and it has quickly developed into a new port city, and there are countless people who dream of making a fortune here.

The port was crowded with people, everyone was busy, racing against time to talk about business, and some young people with dreams of making a fortune learned the language of the Orientals, in order to seize some precious opportunity to have a face-to-face conversation with the great merchants of the East, even at night, the port was brightly lit.

On a certain huge cargo ship, Downing confronted the Oriental merchant and made a request. "Thank you, sir, for risking your fortune here. ”

The people in the East did not trust the strange young man, and they whispered, not knowing what they were saying, and the interpreter next to them whispered a reminder. "Mr. Downing, they don't believe in your strange face, and they want to refuse us to continue to take the spices in the same way, and they want to give the spices to our opponents, because the sincerity of the other party makes them have no way to refuse. ”

Tang Ning clapped his hands, drawing the attention of the Eastern merchants as he pulled out the power of attorney. "Gentlemen, from now on I have taken full charge of Miss Mace's business, and you are doing business with a familiar companion, not a strange new face. ”

From countless transactions, these Oriental merchants have summed up useful experience, they know how to form gangs, although all of them come from different giant ships, but as long as they speak with the same mouth, they can always make the other party come up with more attractive terms, and the representatives elected by those Oriental merchants convey the results they have agreed on in pure Oriental language.

The translator on the side translated the message to Downing. "Sir, we do not doubt your identity, given that you have produced Miss Mace's power of attorney, you are an old friend of ours, but we regret to tell you that we have decided to sell all the spices to another old friend whom I am familiar with, and I believe you cannot give them on such terms. ”

Tang Ning nodded, these were all expected, and looked confidently at the representative of the East, Tang Ning glanced at the translator. "Translate it to him. ”

"Friends from the East, we are not here for spices, since you have found a better partner, we sincerely wish you a happy cooperation, this time we are here to ask for your tea and silk, and we can show enough sincerity. ”

Originally, the tea business was to pay 30% in advance, and when the sales were completed, these Oriental merchants could get 30% of the profits, and the same was true of silk.

"Your silk and tea, we can pay seventy percent in advance, and we can share fifty-fifty percent of the final sales profit, how about it, I believe that no one will come up with a better way to cooperate than us, you can consider it." "Downing used the same tactics against the other party.

When the Oriental merchants heard the translation, they whispered to each other, but the expressions on their faces had changed from their previous caution to excitement and cheerfulness.

Eventually, the representative of the East sent out an invitation, and the translation station conveyed it to Tang Ning without reservation. "Mr. Downing, in view of our previous friendly cooperation, coupled with the cooperation plan you just proposed that cannot be refused, we are willing to sit down with you to discuss the details of the business in detail. ”
