Chapter 99 Master Liang's Business Experience!
Accompanied by Mrs. Blanche, after introducing Liang Pengfei to the Spanish nobles, he came to Governor Marcelo.
"Well, it's your men's time now. Let's talk slowly, but after the dance starts, it's time for our lady to dominate. Honey, see you later." Mrs. Branchi looked back and smiled at her husband, but when she said the last sentence, the picky eyes were hooked on Liang Pengfei's face.
Looking at Mrs. Blanche's soft waist, Liang Peng flew to Governor Marcelo and smiled, "Your wife is really charming."
"Of course, you are not the only one who has told me that it is God's favor to me to marry Blanche." Governor Marcelo drew a cross on his chest as a devout believer.
"Well, dear Governor Marcelo, I don't know if the gift you gave me is ready?" Liang Pengfei walked side by side with Governor Marcelo. Some Spanish nobles who came to the reception from other cities were in questioning about the origin of Mr. Liang from their colleagues in Manila. When they learned Liang Pengfei's true identity, they couldn't help taking a breath. The original arrogance and reservedness dissipted from their faces. It is replaced by a deep fear.
Marcelo never thought that Liang Pengfei would mention this matter at this time. He looked around carefully and whispered, "Mr. Liang, please don't worry, it will be ready soon. You know, although this thing is also ordinary, you want too much, so it will take time. "."
"Well, I believe you. Don't let me down. It won't be long before I leave Manila, but you don't have to be happy too early. I will leave my men to stay in Manila." Liang Pengfei couldn't help laughing when he saw Marcelo's happy face changing in an instant like a bitter gourd that made people step on more than ten feet.
"Mr. Liang, you have signed a treaty with us, and we are willing to give all those islands to you." Marcelo couldn't wait to take the wine bottle around and smash it on Liang Pengfei's disgusting face, but he could only think about it.
"Of course, you can rest assured that both of us must abide by the treaty, but after all, it takes time to implement it, right, Your Excellency Governor Marcelo." Liang Pengfei blinked narrowly and said. In addition, I think there are still many problems between us to communicate, such as business, a lot of big business..." Liang Pengfei's tone is like a devil in the hearts of people.
--------------------
"Do you need all of these?" Governor Marcelo's eyes lit up, and Liang Pengfei's words also made him feel an opportunity to make a fortune, and it was not just a business.
Seeing the brilliance in Marcelo's eyes, Liang Pengfei bent the corners of his mouth and kindly handed a cigar to the Spanish governor. He also clicked on one. Through the cover of the smoke, the ghost Chongchong's eyes were on the round buttocks of a beautiful maid not far away. Of course, whether it is farm tools, ironware, or daily necessities, we all need these. I believe that with Governor Marcelo's rights and vision, you can definitely make a profit by doing such a business with me. Moreover, we will continue to do this kind of business for a long time. Of course, we can also have a lot of business. Do it, for example, talent..."
"Talent?" Governor Marcelo was confused and couldn't figure out how the two things between business and talent were involved in Liang Pengfei.
"Of course, many things in the world can be measured by materials, even talents." Liang Pengfei smiled and looked like a philosopher. I need all kinds of talents, whether they are smelting, manufacturing, textile, or chemistry. As long as they have their own skills, you can introduce them to me, and I will pay you a commission according to their important surnames. Don't worry, I don't let you sell those talents. Selling people, this is a commission. At least for those talents, I will still pay them what they deserve, and the salary will only be higher than that of Spain, not lower.
Hearing Liang Pengfei's words, Governor Marcelo was really moved. You know, on the island of Luzon, there are no less than 30,000 Spaniards, including more than 20,000 civilians. These people are full of ambitions and come to the East to search for gold. However, due to the gradual decline of the status of the Kingdom of Spain in the sea and Europe, for The development and future of the colony gradually did not seem to be paid as much attention as before, making many Spaniards who came to the East in a state of semi-unemployment.
Just like Spain in Cebu, the earliest colony of the Southern Ocean, at least 2,000 Spanish jobless people have become a factor of social instability.
"Maybe we can indeed discuss this business." Governor Marcelo is not stupid. Judging from Liang Pengfei's performance after arriving in Manila, although he killed, he was measured. Although he was greedy, he could maintain a kind of restraint with Spain, which showed that Liang Pengfei maintained a willingness to live in peace while warning the Spaniards, that is to say, double There is indeed a possible surname for trade between the parties.
When the reception began, Liang Pengfei had been as close to Governor Marcelo as if he were a brother-in-law, and they had reached a preliminary agreement in private.
This makes Liang Pengfei feel particularly relaxed. You know, Spain has been operating on this land for many years. Although he is wary of these Westerners' greed for wealth, at the same time, he has to use their psychology to promote bilateral trade and development. At least, he needs to borrow the West. The hands of the Benya people do a lot of things.
For example, Western achievements in smelting and chemistry, as well as textiles and dyes. In addition, Liang Pengfei also finalized a rather strange business to buy 50 pounds of rubber tree seeds from Spanish colonies in South America through the Spanish governor of Spain at the price of a pound of gold and a pound of seeds.
For the governor of Spain, this is simply a pie falling from the sky hitting his forehead. Although I have heard of this strange plant, and the resin secreted from the tree is used as a rainproof material, it is only for this purpose. I didn't expect that Mr. Liang would spend so much money to buy it. Marcelo believes that as long as he goes by a letter, not to mention 50 pounds, he can get even 500 pounds, and Fifty pounds of gold can only pay a few pounds at most, and the rest is naturally in your own pocket.
"It seems that doing business with Orientals is making money." Marcelo looked at Liang Pengfei with more and more joy, and completely forgot the scene of the butcher knife raised by Master Liang a few days ago.
Liang Pengfei's eyes at Governor Marcelo are also so kind. Although at present, he seems to be a fool who can't do business, only Master Liang himself knows how important these businesses are for himself and even the change of the world pattern.
At the reception, Mrs. Blanche completely became the leader, and almost every topic was guided by her. Whether it was music, painting, or poetry, although Mrs. Blanche was not proficient, she could still say it well, which made Liang Pengfei have to admire that this woman was smart enough. At least it is not only shiny on the outside, but also on the inside.
--------------------
Similarly, Master Liang has also become the focus of the reception, not only because he is the invited protagonist, but also because of his profound knowledge. For wine, Master Liang can tell that this is Bordeaux wine that has been hidden in the kiln for many years with his tongue, and Liang Pengfei's understanding of Western art is very Above many nobles, Liang Pengfei also compared and evaluated the philosophy of the East with the philosophy of the West. The elegant speech was full of wise language. These arrogant nobles not only put away their contempt, but also humbly asked Liang Pengfei about Eastern philosophy in the end.
Shi Dakai, who was also scheduled to attend, was shocked from the beginning to the numbness to the end. Of course, he admired and admired Master Liang, who was two years younger than him. In his heart, he almost worshipped Liang Pengfei as an idol.
Liang Pengfei's humorous words and handsome appearance made the hot eyes of those ladies always look at him, and occasionally deliberately asked some questions to attract the attention of Master Liang. For this kind of scene, Master Liang, who did not know how many such parties he attended in later generations, naturally had room to deal with it. .
But for Shi Dakai, this kind of occasion is simply tortured for his tender face. Growing up under the feudal family education, he can't understand why these women dare to expose half of their breasts and a pair of shoulders, and the hot provocative eyes and ambiguous expressions make him feel even more. I can't stand it.
Whether the noble lady or lady talked to him, his face was like an alcohol tester, and he would be popular every time. Seeing that Shi Dakai, his handsome guy, was so embarrassed, Master Liang secretly had fun aside, but for the sake that he was Aunt Shi Xiang's own brother, Liang Pengfei finally fell into the well and helped him deal with it from time to time.
Finally, the cheerful dance music sounded, and Liang Pengfei's eyes fell on Mrs. Blanche, who was coming towards her style at the first time. Liang Pengfei took the initiative to take a step forward: "Dear Mrs. Brandy, I don't know if I'm lucky. Please dance the first dance."
"Of course, this is also my wish." Mrs. Blanche smiled in the candlelight, which was even more bright and touching. The sapphire on her neck looked so gorgeous, forming a sharp contrast with her white and smooth skin.
