"Mr. Simon, my dear friend, I welcome you on behalf of the Ming Dynasty!" Lin Weiran took the initiative to move forward and shake hands cordially with Mr. Simon, and expressed his welcome warmly.

He did not reject the Portuguese merchants of this era. Many of them were not barbaric invaders, but just merchants chasing high profits, and were also betting on the sea with their lives.

Nowadays, he has no conflict of interests with these people. Instead, he has to cooperate with each other to achieve win-win results.

Especially on the "Guangdong-Japan" route, he also had to cooperate with the Portuguese so that Guangdong's goods could be transported to Japan, thereby promoting the development of handicrafts in Guangdong and Ming Dynasty.

"Mr. Lin, my dear friend, thank you very much for greeting me in person!" Mr. Simon had a deep understanding of the Ming Dynasty. He knew that Lin Shiran could do this and gave him face, and he also sincerely thanked him.

"Mr. Simon, I have set up a welcome banquet for you, please come in!" Lin Shiran invited Simon and raised his hand to signal him to enter the Union Restaurant.

Mr. Simon was indeed a great master. He did not step into it rashly, but raised his hand and made a gesture of inviting Lin Weiran, and then the two walked in total.

Lin Weiran was surprised that Simon was slightly surprised when he actually brought a beautiful girl this time. However, it is not a strange thing to bring family members. There are many women and children like Haojing.

China is tactful in its business world, especially for customers who come from afar, so we should naturally pay more attention to this.

Therefore, Lin Qingran did not talk about business at this table, but just introduced a series of Guangdong cuisines and asked with concern whether Simon's voyage was going smoothly.

Of course, this time, the warm reception of Mr. Simon was naturally aimed at the business of both parties. The cleverness is that the timing of the business negotiations is placed on tea after meals.

In the tea hall, the fragrance of tea lingers.

Lin Qingran sat with Mr. Simon, while Shen Liuye and others were accompanying him. Shen Jun and others joined forces with the second generation to stand aside. The tea was made of the best Qiongzhou green tea, which tasted very mellow and had endless aftertaste.

Mr. Simon seemed to like this kind of tea very much. After savoring a sip of hot tea, he took the initiative to ask: "Mr. Lin, I heard that you took back Haojing?"

"Yes! I am the Guangdong Maritime Warehouse appointed by the Emperor. Haojing Wharf belongs to the Guangdong Maritime Warehouse. I just took back the place that belongs to me!" Lin Weiran replied lightly, then looked up at him and made a serious promise.

He said: "Mr. Simon, please rest assured! You can still continue to live in Haojing, and your trading business will not be affected in any way. You only need to pay the prescribed tariffs!"

"I have heard of this too!" Mr. Simon nodded with a smile.

Although Lin Qingran took Hao Jing back, he did not make things too difficult for them. He not only allowed them to continue living in Hao Jing, but also allowed their church to preach there.

Perhaps for the latter reason, Portugal did not have a strong desire to recover Mo Jing, and the church even stepped forward to stop this recovery action, but was willing to maintain the current situation.

As for their merchants, they actually did not object to this situation. Because they could still live in Haojing and more conveniently obtained a large amount of goods from Guangdong, thus selling them to Japan to make huge profits.

Compared with the huge profits sold to Japan, they are still acceptable for that little tariff.

"Mr. Simon, do you have any other concerns?" Lin Qingran asked with a smile, holding the teapot and gently plucking the tea.

Mr. Simon shook his head gently and said sincerely: "No, I believe in Lord Lin's character very much. You are a trustworthy friend!"

"Thank you for your praise!" Lin Qingran replied with a smile.

Master Shen Liu found that Lin Qiran had given him a corner of his eyes, and immediately understood and asked Mr. Simon with a smile: "Mr. Simon, I wonder how many pieces of cloth you want this time?"

Mr. Simon took a sip of tea, and after thinking, he said, "I want 200,000 horses this time!"

Two hundred thousand horses?

Hearing this number, Master Shen Liu and others couldn't help but take a breath.

Although they knew that Mr. Simon's purchasing power was terrifying and they bought a full 50,000 pieces last year, when the amount was dropped, it was greatly exceeded the amount of it.

Especially those second-generation joint generations who had already conducted the training sequence, Chen Jun and others stood beside each other obediently, and their eyes immediately glared, looking dumbfounded and did not dare to breathe.

They always thought that the order of 50,000 was amazing, but when they heard the order of 200,000, they were completely stupid. If it could be completed, what would it be?

Lin Jun seemed very calm and spat lightly at the tea ceremony: "Mr. Simon, I wonder when will you want it?"

"I still have to go to Japan and will return to China in early February next year. I hope the cargo will be mentioned on February 1st!" Mr. Simon looked at Lin Shiran unexpectedly, and then honestly told his sailing plan.

According to his navigation arrangement, he would go to Haojing to purchase a batch of goods and help his companions transport the goods they had purchased to Japan, and process all the goods in Japan and exchange them for silver.

Then, he would come back with silver, continue to purchase goods from the Ming Dynasty, and then transport them back to Europe for sale, and this Leizhou cloth was one of the goods he wanted to carry.

Lin Weiran was not an arbitrary person, his eyes were on Mr. Shen Liu and others.

"Promise him!"

Master Shen swallowed and spitted, and took the lead in expressing his opinion.

"Yes, promise him!"

Zhao Fugui, Yang Chunlai and others also agreed.

Lin Xuran originally wanted everyone to find a place to discuss it first, but seeing that Gu Mancang was still hesitating, his eyes couldn't help but fill Gu Mancang.

As long as Gu Mankura agrees, it will be approved unanimously.

Gu Mancang frowned slightly, and he was indeed hesitant. After all, with his current production capacity, he did not have the ability to take this order at all, and he needed to continue to expand production.

But once production is expanded, a lot of investment will be required, which undoubtedly increases the risk, which is what he does not want to see.

"What are you doing!"

When Chen Jun and others saw Gu Mancang's appearance, they immediately complained anxiously. In their hearts, this was a good thing about the pie falling from the sky, and they had to eat him no matter how difficult it was.

"I... agree!"

Gu Mankura looked at everyone's eyes and seemed to be under pressure. Finally, hesitated and chose to agree. But everyone could see that he didn't really want to agree to this decision.

After receiving the reply, Lin Qingran then looked at Mr. Simon with a smile and nodded gently.

The two parties formulated this unprecedented large contract on the spot and clarified the penalty for liquidated damages, which was considered to have reached a new cooperation.

After arranging Simon and others to move in, Lin Weiran and others returned to Lin's house.

The order of 200,000 horses and the potential huge demand in Southeast Asia is undoubtedly a new challenge.
