Father Herbert seems to be a gentle person, but he is very resolute in doing things, just two days after the two agreed, Li Changsheng received an invitation to the party initiated by General Wiggins, changed into a simple and generous dress, and Li Changsheng went to the banquet as promised.

I have to say that he is dressed in a dress but has long braids, and he is a very conspicuous presence in the entire banquet hall, but when he came with Father Herbert, no one said anything, and Li Changsheng's pure London accent was also very pleasantly surprised.

"General Wiggins, please allow me to introduce to you, this is Mr. Li, the deputy gang leader of the Xinghuang Gang, who admires you very much, and hopes to meet you. Father Herbert pointed at Li Changsheng and said to a white man in a red military uniform in front of him.

Seeing this, Li Changsheng also stretched out his hand at the right time, "Dear General Wiggins, it's an honor to meet you. ”

Hearing Li Changsheng's fluent English, General Wiggens was also slightly stunned, and there was a smile on his face, "Hello, Mr. Deputy Gang Leader Li, I don't know, what do you have to see me? “

"Father Herbert is too complimentary, I am looking for you, I have a business, I want to talk to you, I don't know if it is convenient for you?" Li Changsheng said with a smile.

Hearing this, General Wiggens couldn't help but glance at Father Herbert, and when he saw Father Herbert nodding, he smiled and said, "Of course, let's go to the study and have a good talk, please here!"

"Okay, Mr. Deputy Gang Leader Li, if you have something, just tell me. After entering the study, there were no outsiders, and the standard smile on General Wiggins's face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a look of indifference, even a little arrogant.

Seeing this, a trace of displeasure flashed in Li Changsheng's eyes, but he still had a decent smile on his face, "Dear General Wiggins, I can't hide it, I have a workshop in Foshan, which specializes in the production of high-quality silk embroidery and dress customization, such goods, closely relying on Foshan, can't bear it at all, so I think, with the help of General Wigens's influence, it is good to be able to sell to the West, such as the city of London in England, I don't know, General Wigens is willing to cooperate with me?"

"Silk?" General Wiggens scoffed at this, then shook his head. Mr. Deputy Gang Leader Li, I appreciate that you can have such determination, but you have to make it clear that now is not a few hundred years ago, when the price of oriental silk was higher than gold, and today's London also has a large number of textile factories, and the price is much cheaper than your oriental cloth. “

With that, General Wigens sat up from his chair and was about to leave the study with Li Changsheng.

Seeing this, Li Changsheng hurriedly took out a brocade handkerchief from his personal pocket, handed it to General Wiggins, and said, "General Wigans, don't worry, why don't you take a look at the goods first, and then listen to me talk about my business, and then make a decision?"

Looking at the Jinpa handed over by Li Changsheng, General Wiggins hesitated, but still took it, and heard Li Changsheng say: "Of course I know that the fabric spun by the machine is much faster than the manual one, saving time and effort, therefore, our oriental native cloth is not competitive in the face of the western cloth, but this is only for the general cloth, in the high-end fabric, our oriental textile embroidery technology is still unique, I think, such a luxury should still be able to sell at some price." “

Li Changsheng said while speaking, General Wiggens was also looking at the Jinpa in his hand, just a one-foot square Jinpa, although it was not big, but through the touch, General Wigens could feel the feel of this Jinpa and other machine-made fabrics, especially the hand-embroidered patterns on it, lifelike, compared to the indifferent touch of the machine, it added a rare peculiar temperament, not at all like an ordinary Jinpa, but like a work of art.

This thought flashed through his mind, and General Wigens faintly sensed Li Changsheng's sales intentions, and his originally casual expression became serious.

Seeing this, Li Changsheng continued: "I believe you have also discovered that although the things made by the machine are good, they are too ordinary and featureless, for ordinary people, it is naturally a good thing, but for the nobles, it is really impossible to highlight the temperament of the aristocracy, even if it is used for customization, it is also a little subgrade, but our oriental embroidery and craftsmanship can make up for this very well, do you think, such exquisite craftsmanship, can not let those rich businessmen and nobles throw the money in their hands to buy?"

"As far as I know, the pair of embroidery I gave to Father Herbert has won the appreciation of many Western nobles, including nobles from France and Germany, but I still believe in the strength of the eternally glorious empire on which the sun never sets, and I want to cooperate with General Wigens, but I don't know, are you willing to cooperate with me?" Li Changsheng looked at General Wiggens deeply.

Hearing this, General Wiggens subconsciously touched the Jinpa in his hand, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Okay, respected Mr. Deputy Gang Leader Li, I was persuaded by you, yes, the silk you sent does have great business prospects, now, let's discuss the details of cooperation." ”

Li Changsheng's face suddenly showed a bright smile, and then, the two began to discuss the issue of cooperation, and after a while, they finally agreed that the transaction between the two sides would be divided into four or six parts, with General Wiggens accounting for sixty percent of it, and the initiator Li Changsheng only accounting for forty percent of it.

Such an unfair trade is naturally caused by the unequal status of the two, but more importantly, the two agreed that during the cooperation period, General Wiggens must protect the property of the Xinghuang Gang, especially within the dock, which is the main sphere of influence in the concessions of various countries, and General Wigens needs to deal with the concessions of various countries to ensure that the Xinghuang Gang will not be harassed by other countries, which is Li Changsheng's main purpose, and for this reason, it is not impossible to give up some interests.
