After Fujita and the others left, the two of them got some wine and food and drank it. Song Tao raised his head and took a sip of wine, and then said solemnly: "You have seen it all today, in such a place, it is not easy for the army to deploy." But the guards here are mediocre, and we shouldn't have much resistance. ”

Li Ming put down his wine glass, thought for a while, and said: "It's okay, we just need to occupy those main streets, in fact, I don't have any interest in the things in the store, those warehouses on the dock are our focus, let's go there tomorrow to see if there are any warehouses for grain, and to see if there is copper or sulfur."

The guards here don't seem to be strong, but if you look at how many idle samurai are scattered around the streets, when the time comes, these merchants will scatter a lot of money, and they will not be able to find soldiers. I really want to pay attention to this. ”

Song Tao thought for a while and said: "It's really possible, if not, we will let three landing ships support us, and with a few ruthless blows, we will scare them out of their courage at once." By the way, why don't you see a place to sell women here? ”

Li Ming drank a glass of wine and said with a smile: "That kind of place is easy to do, you can ask any person, let's stay here for two more days and get a detailed map, so that everyone doesn't come in and bump around." ”

The next day, Li Ming and Song Tao came to the wharf and went around the various warehouses at the wharf for most of the day in the name of wanting to rent a warehouse. I have a rough understanding of the situation here, and the places where the goods are stored here are still relatively concentrated. The same is true of the place where the grain is stored, which occupies a large area. There was also a lot of copper and sulfur, which was the most needed thing for the maritime merchants of the Ming Dynasty, so there were also a lot of them.

After visiting the wharf, Li Ming and Song Tao returned to the hotel, most of the merchants from all over the country lived in the hotel, Li Ming also met several waves of merchants from the Ming Dynasty, and everyone chatted politely when they met.

Most of the merchants of the Ming Dynasty who can come here are maritime merchants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and their power should not be underestimated. But they don't have much of a fight, because Li Ming and Song Tao also make things like that, and their image and conversation are even different from this era, which also impresses each other.

As soon as they returned to the hotel today, a maritime merchant surnamed Song came to them and wanted to give a banquet to Li Ming and Song Tao. Li Ming just wanted to know about the situation here, so he was polite, and then readily agreed.

When we arrived at the place, everyone pushed the cup and changed the lamp and chatted for a while, and both sides had some wine and became acquainted. The maritime merchant surnamed Song is named Song Shiping, who is very bold and has a heroic atmosphere on the sea. He raised his glass and toasted Li Ming and Song Tao, and said with a smile: "I think the two have very different temperaments, I'm afraid it's not our Ming people." ”

Li Ming smiled, raised his head and drank the wine in the cup, and then said with a smile: "Brother is really insightful, you are right, we are indeed from overseas, and our ancestors are descendants of the Song people." The ancestors were far away from their homeland, thinking about the fallen leaves and returning to their roots, but for the last wish of the elders, we crossed the ocean to the homeland of the Central Plains. It's just that we stayed in Daming for a while, and we didn't find a place to stay, so we had to find a big island overseas and settle down temporarily. ”

When Song Shiping heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with a smile: "Brother, have you seen the outside, although my brother and I are just a businessman, I can still do some things in Daming." Don't dare to say anything else, it's no problem to let my brother find a treasure place to settle in my Daming. And then you don't need to do trivial things such as naturalization, brother, you Zhang Luo, brother, I will help you handle Lisuo. ”

When Li Ming heard this, he pretended to be full of surprise, raised his wine glass and said: "Brother is gracious, brother is grateful, I did this cup, thank you brother, then brother will want my brother to help me more." ”

Song Shiping laughed when he heard this: "What is this, I also look at my brother's enthusiasm, I think brother, you are a person worth befriending, you can tell me anything in the future, brother, I will definitely go all out." ”

The more the two drank, the happier they became, Song Shiping smiled and said: "Brother, if there are any overseas strange goods, don't forget my brother, when the time comes, our brothers will get rich together, and my brother won't dare to say anything else, no matter what it is, it can't be wrong to hand it over to me." ”

Li Ming and Song Tao laughed secretly in their hearts, this is the real intention of the other party, but Li Ming still feels that he should take this line, and he will have a care in the Ming Dynasty in the future, but it is not so easy to hang this old fox.

He thought about it for a while, and then took out a powder box of modern society, which he specially brought with him before he came to deal with the scene. In order to cope with the trade problems that may be encountered in the early stage, the company deliberately found several enterprises in Yiwu and customized a large number of small commodities that meet the characteristics of that era.

Li Ming handed the delicate powder box to the past, and said with a smile: "This is our overseas pretty goods, this is just a sample, I just arrived yesterday, and I haven't shown it to others yet, and my brother also helped me palm my eyes to see if this thing can be sold in Daming." In the future, if my brother is interested, we can try to do it. ”

Song Shiping has been staring at the powder box since Li Ming took it out, and he has been doing business for so many years, no matter what it is, as long as he glances at it, he can almost judge whether this thing can make money. But he didn't show anything on his face.

He carefully took the powder box and found that it was made of a material he didn't know, with a smooth and delicate appearance, a nice touch to the touch, and a faint fluorescent glow. The pale pink oval locket is very delicately made, and the upper and lower sides of the pink locket are also carved with begonia flowers, which makes people love it when they look at it.

After looking at it carefully for a while, he raised his head and asked lightly, "This is a woman's thing." ”

Li Ming nodded and said with a smile: "Brother, you might as well open it and take a look, there is something else inside." ”

Song Shiping nodded quietly, and gently opened the oval locket, as soon as he opened it, there was a fragrant smell coming to his nose, the taste was the smell of some kind of flowers, which was particularly refreshing.

He was even more surprised by the fact that there was a small oval mirror with a circle of shiny crystals, and a groove underneath it, in which a stucco was placed. There is also an oval powder.

He knew what it was, and even though he hadn't been in the fat powder business, he had heard of it. If this thing is obtained in the Ming Dynasty, just the ladies and ladies of those high-ranking officials and nobles can be regarded as treasures, and they may be favored when they enter the palace.

"Brother, I don't know how much you can get for this thing? Can all the condition be in this condition? ”

Li Ming knew it in his heart as soon as he heard it, don't look at the expressionless on this guy's face, but from his words, you can feel how unsettled he is in his heart. Li Ming said with a smile: "This is a rare thing, the shell is carefully ground from deep-sea shellfish, and the fat powder is also mixed with a lot of cherished flower petals and deep-sea fish oil, the taste is always preserved, it is indeed a treasure." It's just that the price is a little more expensive, and we are afraid that we won't be able to sell it, so we don't bring more. ”

Song Shiping was anxious when he heard it, you are afraid of a fart, is there still a shortage of rich people in Daming, this thing can definitely be sold for a big price. But he still didn't make an eager expression, and said with a smile: "Since my brother has the intention of trying the water, then my brother will take it back and help you ask." ”

Li Ming secretly scolded the other party for being an old fox, and it seemed that he had to work harder. immediately pretended to be grateful and said: "Then I will thank my brother, this thing is too expensive, my younger brother only brought a few pieces this time, but the people in my hometown are still rich and sell very well." But when it comes to Daming, it's hard to say. This is just one of them, overseas places are good at all kinds of strange skills, there are more such things, I can get you a thousand for anything. ”

This time, Song Shiping couldn't calm down, and his face changed instantly, but he immediately recovered again, and said with a smile: "Then how much did my brother bring this time?" ”

Li Ming smiled bitterly and said: "I just arrived here, how do you know what the market is, I just took this first and tried the water, don't I just wait for my brother to help me take a look, okay, I can give the goods to my brother in a few months." ”

When Song Shiping heard this, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but he immediately said with a smile: "Brother, you can't be in a hurry to do business." My brother is a person from the past and knows the risks, is it easy for us to float on the sea? Maybe one day he will be buried at the bottom of the sea, and he won't even be able to leave a corpse. Get...... Who made me look at you, brother, and you are pleasing to the eye. That's it, my brother has been floating on the sea for so many years, and he still has some net worth, next time you can rest assured and boldly buy a batch of goods, no matter how many kinds of each, get me a thousand pieces of each. Don't worry, even if it's a loss, it's my brother. Who made our brothers fall in love at first sight, I don't help you, who will help you. ”

Li Ming looked at Song Shiping excitedly, and tears were about to fall.

"Brother, how can this be done...... Brother, I'm ...... From now on, you will be my own brother. ”

Next, the two were even more intimate, making it really like brothers. Song Tao almost didn't vomit on the side, it's okay to let him act, but if he is numb, he really can't say it, now Li Ming and Song Shiping have this affection, I don't know if I think the two of them want to do it.

Although Song Shiping was quiet when he talked about business, he was much more enthusiastic now. A vigorous toast, he has been immersed in this scene for many years, and he has long been able to cope with it freely, enthusiastic but not pretentious, wooing but not deliberate. Even Li Ming almost thought it was true.

"By the way, brother, is there a woman here in Sakai Port?" Song Tao heard this, and laughed out loud, and Li Ming said this as if he wanted to find a young lady.

Song Shiping also looked very understanding, patted Li Ming's shoulder, and laughed: "Brother, I will arrange it at night, you will follow me, my brother will let you meet the Japanese girls, haha......"

When Li Ming heard this, he also knew that what he said was a bit nonsense, which made his old face red.

"No...... No...... Brother, you misunderstood, I mean there are women for sale here. I'm short of women there, so I'll get some of it together, or something will happen after a long time. Yes, there is a city called Ren City in Daming, and I am talking about that kind of place. ”R1152
