With a muffled "bang", the ship that López was on shook for a moment, and the entourage next to him walked into the cabin and said respectfully: "Sir, the ship has arrived in port......

Lopez nodded slightly, then slowly stood up and walked out of the cabin.

He looked at the huge Yingkou Port, which had completely different characteristics from the scene of Manila Port, which was even more chaotic and busy. It's not as clean as the Port of Manila, but it's still organized.

Countless ships lined up in long lines, waiting outside the harbor to dock. Small steamboats, shuttling back and forth in the sea outside the port, lead the huge sailing ships to slowly enter the port.

The wharf of more than 2,000 meters is full of sailboats, and the huge steel cranes emitting thick smoke roar violently, lifting the whole cargo to the wharf, and countless port workers wearing uniform are busy diligently.

In the distance, there is also a vast bulk yard, where all kinds of coal and ore are piled up, and rows of huge logs are stacked together. Rows of steel dragons smoked and roared as they drove in and out of the harbor.

"Woo woo ......" a shrill whistle sounded.

López turned around and looked at the sound, only to see an incomparably huge steel ship, slowly sailing into the port, such a shocking sight also made López stunned.

His body shook a few times, but fortunately, the entourage around him helped him not to sit on the ground.

Since he came to the East, he has been shocked again and again, but he has always maintained the reserve that a nobleman should have, and he has never been so out of shape as now. In the distance, the huge steel ship had slowly turned its hull, revealing its full face.

López and several of his entourage all watched all this in a daze, and their hearts also set off a huge wave. God, such a huge ship of steel. It's a miracle.

There were several people waiting on the wharf of Yingkou Port, headed by Hong Shulei, director of the General Office of the Far East Company, and standing behind him were several local responsible persons in Yingkou and the chief officer of the garrison unit.

They glanced at the 10,000-ton giant ship in the distance, and then turned their heads to look at the embarrassment of López and the others on the ship, and all of them showed a smile in their eyes.

As soon as López stepped off the sailboat, Hong Shulei caught up with him. Holding López's hand tightly, he smiled and said, "On behalf of the board of directors of Far East Company, I would like to welcome Sir to Far East. ”

López, who had not fully recovered from the shock just now, only reacted after listening to Hong Shulei's words.

Although López was a little uncomfortable with the etiquette of the Far East, he still nodded slightly and greeted Hong Shulei.

Hong Shulei arranged for Lopez to have a simple lunch at Yingkou Port, and then took a traffic boat converted from an inland steam deck barge and sailed along the Liao River to Shenyang.

The main task of the transport boat they took was to transport important members and welcome foreign guests. It is equipped with two high-horsepower steam power units. Cruising speeds can reach thirty-five kilometers per hour.

And after the luxurious decoration, the ride is very comfortable, equipped with luxurious sofas, wine cabinets, pergolas and other facilities, the passengers can drink and chat, while sitting on the luxury sofa to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the river, making the journey very comfortable.

López and Hong Shulei sat on the sofa, with fruit plates, dried fruits and pastries on the coffee table, and several smart and clever people. A handsome girl in uniform was waiting diligently on the side. Keep pouring wine for them.

Smoking the cigar handed to him by Hong Shulei, López enjoyed the scenery on both sides of the Liao River, and his mood was also extremely complicated. The gaffe in Yingkou Port just now made him a little embarrassed, so he didn't talk much along the way, and he became extra cautious in his words and deeds.

Hong Shulei also only translates from time to time. A few simple small talks with the other party did not make the other party feel slow or overly enthusiastic, anyway, the scale was well grasped.

In the afternoon, the traffic boat finally entered the Hunhe River and came to Shenyang.

Gao Jianguo, Wang He, Li Ming and others members of the Standing Committee of the Board of Directors of Far Eastern Company. They all came to the dock to greet the Portuguese envoy López and his party, and held a dinner to welcome him.

After the dinner, Li Ming left the banquet hall, and as soon as he got into the carriage, he saw a person come up and sit beside him. Li Ming turned his head and found that it was Zhou Billy.

"Leader, let's talk about ......"

Li Ming thought for a moment, then nodded at the guards standing on both sides of the carriage, and the carriage slowly left the headquarters of the Far East Company.

"Say it...... What do you want to talk about......"

After listening to Li Ming's question, Zhou Billy smiled and said, "Leader, let's find a place to drink and talk slowly......"

Li Ming shook his head with a wry smile, and then said, "Then go to my house, hey...... Are you trying to play some bad idea again? ”

"Big brother, how can there be...... I really want to talk to you about work this time. ”

The carriage came to the courtyard of Li Ming's house, and Li Ming asked Hanako to prepare some simple wine and food, and the two drank in Li Ming's study.

Zhou Billy and Li Ming collided their cups, and then thought for a moment and said: "Now that cigarettes and various narcotics have opened up sales in Europe, it can be said that the supply exceeds demand." However, the amount of production we put into Europe every year has not been broken. The annual capacity of the French side is simply not enough to meet the huge sales volume in Europe.

This time the company negotiated with Portugal, and the two sides were bound to reach an agreement, and our strategy of supporting the Braganza dynasty in the Far East was also decided. Now that the company is ready to get involved in Europe, should we take over the work of transporting cigarettes and narcotics to Europe? Now the broad masses of the people in Europe are eagerly awaiting cigarettes and narcotics in our Far East. ”

Li Ming thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "There are no talks with the Portuguese envoy yet, and many things can't be decided." Although the strategy of supporting Portugal has been decided, the strength of the support depends on what kind of corresponding price Portugal pays. So it's too early to talk about all this. ”

Billy Zhou smiled and said: "Leader, there are not many cards in Portugal at present, and the foundation of cooperation between the two sides is very good, I don't think there is any problem." ”

Li Ming looked at Billy Zhou with a smile, and then said lightly: "Okay, just say what you have, I don't believe you only think about these." How can you learn to grind and chirp, don't talk nonsense, hurry up and ......"

Billy Zhou smiled and said, "Big brother, do we have to plan for the future now, I'm thinking about Brazil......"

After he finished speaking, he raised his head and drank a glass of wine, then wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "Brazil is a good place, although we don't have the energy to develop large-scale global colonization now, we can temporarily rely on the power of Portugal." ”
