Chapter 231 Two of the thirteen giants in Guangzhou!

King Louis XVI of France is now in prison, I'm afraid it won't be long before he lives, and the French revolution has panicked the whole of Europe, and Spain is now also having a hard time, adjacent to France, and still in the same way. Now, King Louis XVI of France is imprisoned in a prison, which makes Carlo While Si Si was shocked, he also felt quite dissatisfied. Moreover, the French revolutionaries also did not have much good impression on Spain, and the good diplomatic and ally relations between the two sides were on the verge of breaking down.

In addition, the relationship between Britain and Spain is becoming more and more tense. Although it is not the time to fight, the problem is that both sides don't like each other. One is the former sea hegemon, and the other is the current sea hegemon. Although Spain has no longer had the glory of the past, the thin camel is bigger than the horse, and the Spanish fleet can still not be despised.

But no one wants to take action at this time, because there are other European countries staring at it. Therefore, no matter how angry Carlos IV was, he would never ignore the safety of his country. At a chaotic time in Europe, he transferred the huge Spanish fleet to the east. You know, it will take at least a year and two years. In two years, without the prestige of the fleet, what else can Spain rely on to protect it? Protect your own coast and stalemate with Britain?

"The Governor does have a lot of difficulties. Since these days, we Spaniards have had a hard time in the East." In the back garden of Liang Pengfei's residence, the Xisai finally revealed more intentions to Liang Pengfei.

Because of the strength of the British, the British East India Company, relying on the sale of port merchants and the seaports that control India, has gradually reduced the profits of many European countries in the eastern colonies.

After the previous pirates were cleaned up by Liang Pengfei, now there is a new batch. According to the information obtained, a considerable number of them were bought by the British. The task given to them is to rob merchant ships from various countries, and they will pay for the purchase of these goods.

Now, those European merchants who start from Guangzhou and return to the West usually have a few or even more than a dozen of them go to sea together, so that those pirates can give up the idea. After all, although the combat effectiveness of European merchant ships is not as good as that of pirates, they should not be underestimated. A surprising number of merchant ships can sometimes even take those The damn pirate swallowed it back.

--------------------

Listening to the Spanish businessman talking about their hardships, Liang Pengfei frowned more and more. He didn't expect that the power of the British now expanded more and more.

"These damn pirates make our trade routes dangerous, but what's more troublesome is that the British are now trying to grab a share of goods in our hands. You know, silk, porcelain and tea in the East are the treasures that our Europeans dream of.

But now the strength of the British has made our trade begin to shrink. Now His Majesty has become more and more dissatisfied with the gains from Luzon. If it goes on like this, it is very likely that Governor Luzon will leave this position. The Governor asked me to meet the General, hoping that you can get some help from you in the face of keeping the covenant between us and the eldest princess for more than a year. After making his intention clear, Jose looked at Liang Pengfei nervously for fear that another word would pop out of his mouth.

Seeing Liang Pengfei speechless for a long time, Jose said anxiously, "Dear general, now you are a lieutenant general of the Qing Emperor. Annan is under your control. I hope you can help us."

Liang Pengfei raised his eyes and looked at the nervous Spanish businessman, with a smile on the corners of his mouth: "If you don't remind me, I almost forgot. By the way, I heard that the reason why the French are willing to support Nan Ruan so much is not only to obtain the ports and colonies in the east, but also because of the rich products of Annan. Am I right?

"Yes, in fact, it is true. Annan's oil and sandalwood are the top furniture materials, and the spice cinnamon produced here is more expensive than gold. In addition, pepper and jute, which are also quite popular in Europe. Although our share of trade with the Qing Dynasty has narrowed, if we can get these specialties of Annan from you, we can still make up for some of them. Cissé exaggeratedly made a gesture and said. Your Excellency, if you can give us these businesses, we will be infinitely grateful for your generosity and kindness. Xisai looked at Liang Pengfei, with a little starlight in his eyes.

However, what made Xisai depressed was that he could not wait for Liang Pengfei's reply. The General of the Qing Dynasty just arranged a house for him to rest there at ease, saying that he would give him an excuse at the right time.

But a few days later, Liang Pengfei sent someone to call him over, but when he saw the people around Liang Pengfei, he was really surprised. Pan Youdu, the boss of the same Fuxing.

"That's right, it's Mr. Pan. Ha ha, I didn't expect to meet Mr. Cese here. It's really better to meet by chance." Pan Youdu said with a smile.

"It's really an honor. Boss Pan, why are you here?" Although there was an eager smile on his face, he kept beating small drums in his heart. In the name of Pan Youdu, who doesn't know these businessmen who came to the East to search for gold?

He actually came here in person, which can only explain one thing, that is, he was also moved by the business here. Thinking of this, Xisai's heart seemed to have been stuffed with two catties of Huanglian, and it was so hard.

When Liang Pengfei introduced another young man around him, Xisai's expression seemed to be crying. The young man's surname was Ye Zhengqing, and Ye Shanglin, the son of Ye Shanglin, the owner of Yichengxing, was one of the giants in the thirteen lines of Guangdong, which was as famous as Pan Youdu.

After a cold noise, Pan Youdu talked to Xisai about the business situation during this period. Next to him, Liang Pengfei said a cigar as if it had nothing to do. No matter how many times he glanced at him, he pretended not to see it, as if it didn't matter.

Looking at the attitude of Liang Pengfei and Pan Youdu, he was sure that the relationship between the two was quite close, but when he thought of the task he shouldered, at this moment, he felt that the burden on his body was really heavy, so heavy that he could not stand up.

However, Pan Youdu's next words almost made Cicie almost unconscious with excitement.

--------------------

"Pan decided to increase the trade share between Spanish businessmen and me, 20%." Pan Youdu stretched out two fingers and swayed in front of Cese, who was as dull as a fossil.

"Yichengxing can also increase your share by 20%." Ye Zhengqing said with a smile. Ye Zhengqing came two days earlier than Pan Youdu. Since the incident of Lan Fangguo selling ordnance, the relationship between Ye Shanglin and Lao Liang's family suddenly became closer.

Maybe it's because after learning the power of the old Liang family in the central islands of Luzon from Luo Bofang's mouth, maybe Ye Shanglin felt that his nephew was by no means a thing in the pool. In short, Ye Shanglin was embarrassed to come to the door because of his relationship with Liang Yuanxia, but it did not mean that this shrewd righteous master. There was no way, so Ye Zhengqing became a bridge between the two families.

This time, it was Liang Pengfei who let his father reveal to the Ye family that Ye Shanglin immediately made a decision. In response to the matter, it was handed over to Ye Zhengqing. The day after receiving the news, he kicked his son out.

"God, my God, Boss Pan and Boss Ye, aren't you kidding me?" Cisa finally woke up, took his hair, and looked at the two fingers in disbelief. If it hadn't been for his sense, he might have rushed forward to bite to see if the three fingers were imaginary.

"Of course not. Pan and the Ye family have always been trustworthy in business. How can they joke with you about such a big thing?" Pan Youdu shook his head helplessly. Next to him, Liang Pengfei almost couldn't help laughing, because the Spanish businessman's performance really made him feel some of Zhou Xingxing's unreliable exaggeration.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to offend you, but this news is too shocking. You are so kind. Dear Boss Pan, you are simply the savior of our Spanish businessmen, you know? With this 30% share, we... this is definitely an immeasurable wealth.

"Mr. Xisai doesn't have to do this. If it hadn't been for my son-in-law's mediation, hehe..." Pan Youdu waved his hand and his eyes fell on Liang Pengfei, who was sitting beside him. The meaning is quite clear. If it hadn't been for Liang Pengfei's help, the Spaniards would not have been able to get such a large share from Pan Youdu's hand.

"In addition, my father-in-law is now the full agent of Annan's foreign trade. He is fully responsible for all the import and export trade of Annan. The specialties you need can be discussed with my father-in-law and my cousin. Well, now I still have official business. Father-in-law, cousin, I'll leave first. Liang Pengfei patted his buttocks and stood up to say goodbye, and then left here straight away.

"Is he your son-in-law? Are you his cousin? Cicé felt that his head had just been pinched by the crack of the door. Behind the general, there were two gold owners.

"Yes, he is my son-in-law. Well, should we come and talk about our business now?" Pan Youdu looked at Liang Pengfei's back and said to Jose.
