Song Shiping's true return to his heart was beyond Li Ming's expectations. After all, power and wealth are moving, and it is not easy for Song Shiping to do this. After staying on the island for two days, Li Ming asked Song Shiping to prepare a sea ship loaded with some Ming commodities such as raw silk and porcelain as a ship for Song Tao's group to enter Macao.

Again, the fleet went all the way south.

The Port of Macau is still very busy, with the docks full of ships from all over the world. As the only "economic development zone" in Daming, many foreign merchant ships from the west will choose to buy Daming goods here.

Albert has been here for more than ten days, and these days he is pretending to communicate with different Western businessmen.

The aristocratic temperament that permeates this product is indeed innate, and no matter what the occasion is, it can cope with it easily. And it's not offensive, those foreign maritime merchants respect him very much, as long as he is there, everyone else unconsciously tries to make himself more elegant.

After all, the person in front of them is a nobleman, even if he is a down-and-out nobleman, his status is not comparable to them. And Albert was very generous, although he was very low-key when he pretended to be forced, but it still made those businessmen wonder in their hearts that this guy might have come to the East to relax.

Maritime merchants from Europe and the New World often got together, chatting about the various commodities of the Ming Dynasty and exchanging information with each other. Albert also lost no time in getting involved.

"Gentlemen, it took me almost a year to come to Macau. But after coming here, I was not impressed, and I knew that I would not come. I was pleasantly surprised by the abundance of goods in Manila, and the abundance of other goods was much more abundant. ”

Everyone couldn't help but laugh in their hearts when they heard his words. You are a nobleman, how do you know what is a commodity that makes a lot of money. But everyone smiled politely out of respect for the aristocracy. And did not refute him.

A Spanish businessman couldn't help but say, "Sir with all due respect. Now occupying Manila there is a group of savage Orientals. After they captured Manila, they brutally slaughtered the city. Killed thousands of my compatriots. ”

Albert made an exaggerated expression and pretended to be frightened and said, "God, I can't believe it. Those people are so savage, God will not forgive them. I was only in Manila for two days, and I thought it was still the territory of your Kingdom of Spain.

The reason why I came to the East is because my father once gave me a set of exquisite oriental porcelain, so I have always wanted to visit this distant ancient country in the East. When I was passing through Manila, I saw a lot of beautiful goods there. I was full of longing for Macau, but I was really disappointed here. ”

The surrounding merchants secretly laughed in their hearts, he was really a nobleman, he didn't know anything about so many Ming goods that could make a lot of money in Macau, it seemed that the nobles were really not suitable for buying goods in the scattered warehouses.

One merchant teased, "Sir, may we admire the fine goods you bought in Manila?" It also opened our eyes. ”

Albert didn't hear the sarcasm in the other's words, nodded with a smile, and then put his hand into his arms. The surrounding merchants all had gloating expressions, and they all wanted to see this aristocratic joke.

But when Albert took something out of his arms. Everyone's eyes lit up instantly. I saw that he was holding a golden round object in his hand, with a golden chain attached, hanging on the outside of Albert's clothes.

"Ding" sound.

Albert pressed the edge of the round object. A lid popped up on the surface of the thing.

"Those Orientals call this a pocket watch, it can show the time of day, and when I saw it for the first time, I was conquered by it, this thing is simply a masterpiece of God."

A group of businessmen had wanted to see Albert's jokes, but now they were fascinated by this beautiful work of art. A merchant next to him swallowed his spit, and then asked cautiously, "Sir, can I take a look?" ”

"Oh...... Of course. ”

Albert smiled and nodded, then took off the gold bracelet that hung from his body. He handed the pocket watch to the merchant. The other party cautiously took it and carefully looked at the golden pocket watch.

The surrounding merchants also left their seats and gathered around. The golden pocket watch was passed around in everyone's hands, and they were all amazed by this exquisite work of art.

The case is delicately engraved with a pattern. When you open the lid, it's even more impressive, inside is a thin layer of glass, and it is also inlaid with a circle of crystal clear crystals. Underneath the glass is a circle of Arabic numerals.

"Sir, is this really something you bought in Manila?"

"Of course, it was too expensive, so I only bought a few pieces and went back to give them to my father and some relatives. Haven't you ever been to Manila? There are many such exquisite goods there, and there are all things in Macau, and the prices are similar to those here. ”

Everyone's eyes lit up when they listened to Albert's words. One person hurriedly asked, "Sir, did you buy anything else?" Can...... Can you show us? ”

Albert smiled, "Of course, these things are very valuable, so I didn't buy a few." You see, I bought this thing in Manila, too. ”

As he spoke, he took out a golden cuboid from his pocket, and with a "snap", Albert pressed it lightly, and a cluster of flames rose from the side of the cuboid.

"They call it a lighter, and I bought a few of them, and they can fire them with a single touch. It's an amazing thing, I really admire those craftsmen in the East, they are amazing. There are a lot of things in Manila that I haven't seen in Europe, and I also bought a set of ruby-encrusted jewelry for my mother. By the way, I also saw a two-meter-high mirror there, but unfortunately I don't have much money, which is a pity. I really want to buy it and put it in my room. ”

After listening to Albert's words, the merchants went crazy, is the place where this second cargo goes to Manila? When did Manila have such a good thing, is it an exclusive commodity for those Orientals?

Everyone had no intention of sitting here, they politely said goodbye and left in a hurry. Albert looked at their backs with a faint smile on his face.

In a room not far away, Billy Zhou and Qian Bing wore headphones and listened to Albert communicate with the merchants. Billy Zhou smiled and said: "Lao Bei does have the potential to be a spy, and if he cultivates it in the future, it will definitely come in handy." ”

In order to attract businessmen from Europe and the New World, the Manila branch deliberately came up with some "high-end goods" customized in modern society. It is said that it is high-end, the gold-plated pocket watch, if it is customized in large quantities in modern society, the cost is less than 100 yuan, which is still the reason why the company has relatively high requirements for materials, and it is also the high-end packaging box.

In modern society, these things are all over the streets, but in this era, they are irresistible treasures. The company also plans to build a large trading hall in Manila where Ming merchants can handle their own goods.

In the future, there will be a high-end luxury pedestrian street, which will carry a variety of high-end goods suitable for European aristocratic consumer groups. Strive to lead the world fashion trend in a few years.

Albert stood up gracefully, and he went to another place where the merchants were meeting, and said with a smile: "Gentlemen, may I sit down?" ”

In just a few days, Albert had frequent contact with businessmen from all over the world, which made many people change their plans and itineraries. The information in this world is extremely underdeveloped, and what happens in Asia may take a year or two to reach Europe.

The main way to disseminate this information is through businessmen who travel to and from all over the world. It may take many years for Manila to become the largest commercial port in Asia, so it is necessary to take some shortcuts to make Manila's reputation known as soon as possible.

Song Tao jumped down from a fortune boat, he looked back at the special combat team members and Zhou Weifan, nodded, and then walked straight to the place he and Zhou Billy agreed upon.

Zhou Billy chartered a courtyard for them here, Song Tao and they went there directly, and Zhou Billy and Qian Bing were waiting.

When Song Tao saw them, he laughed and said, "You're all here, haha...... How is the old shell table? ”

Billy Zhou said: "At present, it looks okay, the effect is good these days, many foreign businessmen have changed their itinerary and decided to go to Manila, and some are now on the way." ”

Qian Bing sneered: "Lao Bei is naturally suitable for this business, and he doesn't need to be taught to do the tricks of chickens and dogs." ”

Song Tao and several special combat team members almost laughed, Lao Qian is really fierce, saying this kind of thing in front of Zhou Billy is simply pointing at the monk and scolding the bald donkey.

But Billy Zhou still smiled, as if he didn't understand the meaning of Qian Bing's words at all. Song Tao also immediately took over the conversation and said with a smile: "We have already arranged forces on the route off the coast of Macao, even if there are fish that slip through the net in Manila, they will not be able to reach Macao." ”

After chatting together for a while, Billy Zhou took the initiative to say goodbye and left with Ding Xinghao first, leaving only Qian Bing here. When he saw the two of them leaving, he sat on the chair, took the cigarette handed over by Song Tao, and then lit it and smoked.

"Paralyzed, I've been with this guy surnamed Zhou for a long time, and I've become much darker. The more time I spent with this guy, the more I felt that this guy was panicked, and I didn't know what he was thinking every day. I had something in my mind, and even though he didn't say anything, I always felt as if he knew everything. That is, Xiao Ding can have a fight with him, I'm a big boss, I really can't figure him out. (To be continued)
