The next day, Du Fei's cargo ship sailed smoothly through the waters controlled by Jiu Gui Jialong. On the way, they encountered Jiu Gui's ship. They saw Jiu Gui's fleet clinging to them silently. It turned out that they were afraid that Du Fei would be scattered.
They were harassed by little pirates and came here specially to escort Du Fei!
Arriving near the Amanriku Sea, Kuki Yoshitaka saw that the territory ahead was already the territory of the Miyoshi family, and indeed the warships of the Miyoshi family were patrolling, so he waved goodbye to Du Fei and sailed back with his fleet.
Du Fei once again felt that he had seen the right person. At this time, their ship was very close to Kai Town, and he seemed to be able to see the tall lighthouse at Kai Town Port.
They only felt that more and more ships were passing by, coming in and out, but they were all in good order. There were even special ships to maintain order at sea and clear the navigation channels.
Because there were so many ships that wanted to enter the port that they could not stop at once, the ships entering the port could only queue up in a few long queues. Du Fei's ship waited for a long time before it was its turn to enter the port. His cargo ship just docked.
Seeing a group of ragged men rushing forward in three steps and two steps at a time, a porter in his forties with a very strong build put his head aside and said to the boat: "Boss! Do you want to unload the cargo? Five cents per person.
I can help you unload the entire ship’s cargo!”
Before he finished speaking, a man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks came around with another group of porters: "Yobei! Why are you interrupting? It's our turn!" The porters behind him were all shirtless.
Completely ignoring the bleak autumn wind.
The middle-aged man called Yobei curled his lips and said: "Who said I had my number changed? I just suggested that the boatman hire a better porter~~"
"You mean, even our porters from Qingzhou are not good?" The man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks took a few steps forward and glared at Yobei. But his stature was too short, and he looked like an underdeveloped person compared to Yobei.
A good young man. His eyebrows are as small as a slit, but his face is unusually broad. Although he is young, he only has a few sparse hair on his head. His appearance is extremely mediocre, but he has an air of elegance and unwillingness to admit defeat.
The stubbornness.
"Okay!" Du Fei was in a hurry to get rid of the kapok silk. When he saw the two fighting, he waved his hand impatiently: "What are you arguing about? I have more goods here, and I have hired you both! Do it quickly!"
The overjoyed two people immediately shut up and stopped talking, and quickly directed the brothers around them to start working.
As soon as they unloaded the goods, a merchant came up to ask about the price. Du Fei saw that he was a local and ignored him because Kiyobei told him that almost half of the merchants in Kai Town were second-tier dealers.
He would sell his hands to the Southern Barbarians for profit, and Du Fei didn't want to be stuck among them.
So under the guidance of Qing Bingwei, he found the largest Nanman merchant in Kai Town, Alikan. Du Fei saw that Elikan's shop was magnificently decorated, much like the residence of a Portuguese missionary in Kyoto in the Ming Dynasty.
That kind of architectural style. As soon as he stepped into the Nanman shop, he heard a beautiful musical instrument being played that he had never heard before. The sound was so clear and concise, filling his heart with a sense of nobility and elegance.
He and Kiyobei were so absorbed in what they heard that they didn't even notice that the owner of the shop came to them.
"Friends~~ It seems that you also like to listen to piano performances~" A chubby old man with dark yellow hair and blue eyes stood in front of a few people. He had two mustaches. I don't know if he was imitated from the Chinese or from the Middle Kingdom.
of Japanese.
"Are you Mr. Ericaan, the richest businessman in Jie Town?" Du Fei asked while looking at his strange appearance.
I saw Erica's mustache and smiled: "What is the richest~~ Don't talk nonsense~ I am often visited by thieves now~ If you put a high hat on me again, I will probably be robbed soon."
I even have no pants left~~"
Unexpectedly, this old man was quite funny at his age. Du Fei was not in a hurry to tell him about the shipment. He began to wander around the Elikan's shop aimlessly.
I saw that Elikan's shop was filled with a dazzling variety of Nanman products, including common Nanban items such as bells and Bibles, as well as rare and in-demand items such as Nanban all-steel armor.
Du Fei suddenly found a short-handled Huo Tong among the goods. He tried it and found that it was very handy! So he excitedly asked the boss: "How much does this Huo Tong cost?"
"Oh, that's not a fire gun!" Ericaan came over and put on his glasses to look at it carefully and said: "This is the latest musket~ It's made in Belgium~ It has a very large firepower and a very accurate barrel~ It can be said
It’s a work of art~”
"Just tell me, how much does this cost!" Du Fei knew that Ericaan would raise the price as soon as he said this, but he really couldn't hide his love for this kind of thing.
Unexpectedly, Alikarn said very earnestly~: "This thing~~ I can sell it to you cheaper~ Just twenty pieces is enough~ Hehe~"
Even Du Fei felt that his offer was too cheap: "What? Is it really enough for twenty guns? It won't be a bad gun~?"
"Hehe~~ I have always been honest in my business~~ I never let others find it or return it~ I want to tell you responsibly~" Ericaan suddenly stopped here, as if he had made up his mind.
He handed a small bag to Du Fei as if: "If you want to buy it, just take these."
"Is this medicine? Why does it look like this?" Du Fei asked, holding the pointed cone-shaped gun with an iron shell with two fingers: "The lethality of medicine in this shape should be quite high, but it doesn't work in the middle of the launch.
Will it turn around? Also, this medicine can’t be bought anywhere?”
"Hehe, this is what I want to tell you, the medicine for this gun~ Currently there is only this small bag in Japan, and it will be gone after you use it! So~" Erica said with a smile: "You must use it sparingly~
~But don’t worry! I will buy a batch of goods every year in the future~I will definitely help you pay attention to supplementing your medicine~"
"No wonder it's so cheap," Du Fei reluctantly stroked the musket, feeling that he really couldn't let it go.
"In this way, I can make it cheaper. I can't help it. This gun has been popular for a long time because it is too advanced and cannot be replenished. I will sell it to you for nineteen pieces! It can't be cheaper!" Erican bit.
He gritted his teeth and said.
Du Fei hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to buy it. Although the medicine was scarce, it might still come in handy if you use it sparingly.
"Boss, in addition to transporting Nanman cargo to Japan for sale, will you also transport some famous Japanese products back to your home country for sale?" Du Fei started to get to the point.
"Yes! I have been buying famous products from all over Japan. As long as they are good and unique, I will buy them in large quantities at a high price."
Du Fei put a strand of golden kapok silk in his hand: "Are you interested in this thing?"
I saw Erica put his glasses hard on the bridge of his nose: "Oh! Is this~golden kapok silk! I haven't seen this kind of product for a long time. I used to buy this kind of goods in large quantities from a Japanese merchant~
But I don’t know why I haven’t seen this product on the market recently. This kind of golden kapok silk sells surprisingly well in our country. I want as much as you have!”
"Boss! This was shipped through the pirate blockade! The price is a little more expensive!" Du Fei remembered that the old man in Marugame Town had told him that the price was thirty guan per bundle. He saw this Erica
En's business was quite honest, so he didn't raise the price in the middle, and quoted him the actual price of 30 guan per bundle.
Unexpectedly, Elikan's eyes widened in surprise when he heard his quotation: "No! So cheap? To be honest, I used to buy a bundle of fifty pieces!"
"That must be a middleman! I shipped these directly from the place of production, so of course they are cheaper than his. But old man, has anyone ever said that you are very honest in doing business? If an ordinary businessman would never put this
Now that the matter has been revealed, he will probably have his face down and look for various reasons to bargain down the price." Du Fei made a gesture, signaling Qing Bingwei to deliver the goods.
Qing Bingwei understood, turned around and walked towards the dock.
"Hahaha~" Alikan laughed and said: "When someone said that~~ Some people said that I am stupid and don't look like a businessman. But it's strange to say that I just rely on my temper.
Doing business is actually a huge source of money. Every day you make money, maybe you should thank God for his blessing."
Du Fei noticed that he was wearing a cross around his neck, and he seemed to be a Catholic.
