Chapter 499 The Agreement 2

"Hahaha... Brother Tiger, this battle is beautiful. My brother's naval skills are really good. He is about to catch up with the prestige of Zheng Zegong (Liu Rengui's respectful name) in those years!"

After the war, Wang Haibin immediately led the "Shunyuan" and other merchant ships to come up and merged with the "Weiyuan". The man was still walking on the springboard, and the laughter sounded cheerfully.

"Brother laughed. It was a thief who was greedy and reluctant to attack the merchant fleet. Otherwise, the result of this battle would be unpredictable."

Lin Hu is stable by nature. Although he has won a hearty victory, he is not happy, but extremely objectively points out the root of his victory.

"Brother Tiger is too modest. This battle is outnumbered, especially to win so wonderfully. It all depends on my brother's command. The old brother is very impressed."

Wang Haibin is also the master of the fierce battle at sea. In the battle of the Baicun River to destroy the Japanese water army, he was already the commander of the squadron. Although he also agreed with Lin Hu's analysis, he still admired Lin Hu's ability to grasp the fighter, which praised with a smile.

"Brother Wang, although this battle has been won, it will also offend the cannibals. I'm afraid this business will inevitably be affected."

Lin Hu's mind is very clear. He will not forget the meaning of this time because of a big victory. He doesn't want to talk more about this naval battle that has become a thing of the past, but to lead the topic to business.

"Well, maybe, I've been beaten left and right, just waiting to see what the cannibals are going to do. If it really doesn't work, it's okay for me to turn around and go back to poison."

Although Wang Haibin has been to Dashi several times, he doesn't know much about the internal affairs of the big cannibals. He doesn't dare to make a conclusion about the changes that may be brought about this battle, but he doesn't care too much. The grain and fresh water and other reserves of the left and right fleets are still enough. At worst, he will not do business with the Dashi Empire and turn back to dump the goods of the fleet. Last time, it was not a big deal. At most, it was less profit. In his opinion, it didn't have much to do with the overall situation.

"What Brother Wang said, let's wait and see."

As early as the beginning of the war, Lin Hu had considered the strategy of Wang Haibin. He also knew it in his heart. It was inevitable that he was a little unwilling, because silk, porcelain and other things can only get rid of hand very quickly in Alexandria, a hub with a huge flow of goods, and only here can sell a good price. At present, the decision is no longer in our own hands. Whether it can successfully establish a stronghold in Alexandria can only depends on the attitude of the Great Food Country on this war. No matter how helpless Lin Hu is, at this time, he can only wait for the other party's reaction to make a decision.

"Uncle Hu, father, look, there is another ship coming out of the port!"

Just as Lin Hu was talking with Wang Haibin, Wang Yuanzheng on the mast suddenly shouted. At that time, Lin and Wang were slightly shocked. They rushed to grab the bloody bow of the boat, took out the telescope inserted in their waist, raised it in front of them, and observed it carefully.

"Wag the flag, wave the flag quickly, bigger, bigger!"

Mua Via Aben, who left the port in a small boat again, had long lost the calmness and calmness when he went to sea. Looking at the huge scale of the Tang Fleet in the distance, his calves kept shivering, and his white fat face was full of sweat, and he kept drinking loudly, pointing to a sailor standing at the head of the boat to shake greatly. A white flag that is not too big, for fear that the Tang Fleet can't see the flag clearly. In case a guy is given to him, the fun will be gone.

"Brother Wang, what do you think?"

The white flag on the big food boat was so conspicuous that Lin Hu could not see it clearly and vaguely guessed the meaning. However, he was not in a hurry to make a conclusion, but quietly put the telescope into the mirror at his waist, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked in a flat tone.

"It should be a messenger, but it's hard to say what's going on. It's okay to adapt to the situation after it arrives."

Wang Haibin was also not sure what the other party's intention was. After a slight meditation, he answered uncertainly.

"Hmm."

Lin Hu didn't say much more, but just said a soft voice to show his approval. A pair of eyes were always staring at the approaching big food boat.

"Listen, the Tang people on the ship. I am Mua Via Aben, the general manager of the Alexandria Department. At the order of Lord Yazid ibun Abu, the governor of Egypt, I came to negotiate with you. Please put down the rope ladder and allow me to get on the boat."

The big food boat is the standard configuration of the eight paddlers. Its speed was originally extremely fast, but a group of sailors were scared by the previous battle. They rowed the pulp, and their hands and feet were stiff. The speed was really not fast. After rowing for nearly two quarters of an hour, they came to the bow of the "Weiyuan". Mua Wei Ya Aben clenched his hands tightly in his wide sleeves and cheered back for himself. Then he stood up and pretended to be majestically and said loudly to the people on the ship.

"Put down the rope ladder!"

After listening to Wang Haiyao's translation, there was no fluctuation on Lin Hu's face. He just waved his hand indifferently and gave the order. Several sailors rushed to untie the rope ladder rolled on the side of the ship's side, threw it out, and hung it next to the side of the ship.

"You, and you, go first, hurry up!"

Although Mua Via Aben is a person who climbs to a high position by nepotism, he is not a complete waste. Over the years, he has dealt with all kinds of merchants. In terms of the ability to maneuver and even the ability to look at the face, it is not bad. This time, the rope ladder on the "Weiyuan" has been hanging down, and he knows that the other party is also If he wanted to talk to his side in detail, the tension in his heart was reduced by half. Then he took out the posture of the general manager and nodded to the two sailors with his fingers, shouting to make him open the way first. He followed with great effort. With the push of the two attendants behind him, he climbed clumsily onto the high shipboard.

"Welcome to the general manager's visit. In the lower Wang Haibin, it is the shopkeeper of this caravan. I don't know that the general manager is here. I'm sorry, forgive me."

Wang Haibin is an old and sophisticated person. He will not make mistakes in etiquette. When Mua Via Aben climbed into the boat, Wang Haibin immediately greeted him with a smile on his face and said politely.

"Ah, it turned out to be Mr. Wang. I've admired for a long time."

Wang Haibin's words were translated by Wang Haiyao according to the Arabic etiquette. Hearing this, Wang Haibin did not mention the meaning of the previous naval battle at all. Mua Via Aben immediately became more honest in his heart. He actually learned the etiquette of the Tang merchants he had seen, and greeted politely, but the action was inevitable. It's a little stiff, and it's quite funny.

"I dare not, I dare not, the general manager will come, and I am not very prepared for the small account. I have prepared some thin wine, and I would like to ask the general manager to appreciate it."

At the sight of Mua Via Abbona and other specious etiquette, Wang Haibin couldn't help laughing. Fortunately, in the depth of the city, he finally forced himself to bear it. He just waved his hand politely and motioned Mua Via Abben to enter the cabin first.

"This..., the general manager was ordered to negotiate, this wine..."

Mua Via Aben is a Muslim believer. Although he is not very devout, he dares to break the taboos that should be kept in public. Although wine is not included, he does not dare to eat meat and other things indiscriminately. When he heard Wang Haibin's invitation banquet, he hesitated. After all, he came to negotiate, if If the host has an invitation and does not accept it, it will be too disglapsing for the master. But if he really drinks happily last time, in case he is sued, the consequences will be even more unimaginable, and he can't help but be stuffed for a while.

"Please rest assured, Mr. General Manager, except for wine, there is only rice and no meat. There is no illegal act."

Wang Haibin has come to eat several times and knows more or less about the taboos of Muslims. When he saw Muah Via Abben hesitant there, he explained with a smile.

"Oh? Well, well, well, Mr. Wang, please!"

Since Mua Via A, the general manager of the Port Affairs Department, he has drunk the wine from the Tang Dynasty several times. He has been thinking about such mellowness. Unfortunately, the Tang Dynasty merchant ships have come less often, and there is not much wine they carry. Even if they have money, they have nowhere to buy it. At this time, when they heard Wang Haibin's words, the wine worm in his stomach immediately Then he rushed up and swallowed his saliva fiercely. Some of them couldn't wait to nod and agreed.

Wine is naturally a good wine. The "drunken" old cellar from "Deng Ji Company". As soon as the altar is opened, the fragrance of wine floats all over the cabin. Not to mention Mua Via Abben, an unspeakable guy, even Wang Haibin, Lin Hu and others are also refreshed - wine is not in the list of commodities, and the supplies carried by the fleet is stored. The quantity is limited. After these seven months of sailing, it has already been insufficient, that is, there are more than a hundred jars left for gifts. As the leaders of Wang and Lin, they have not known the taste of wine for several months.

"Good wine!"

When it was worth pouring the wine into the bottle, the smell of wine came to Mua Via Arben couldn't help taking a deep breath and praised it with admiration.

"It's good if the general manager likes it. Come on, for the sake of the long-lasting friendship between us, Mr. Wang will first respect the general manager."

Wang Haibin picked up the wine bottle with a laugh, and set a tone for each other's negotiations boldly.

"Okay, okay, okay, cheers to friendship!"

Mua Via Abben came here with a special mission. It is not an exaggeration to say that he asked for the Tang Dynasty fleet. What he was afraid of was that the Tang people turned his head and left. Hearing Wang Haibin mention the word "friendship", his heart immediately opened his heart and did not hesitate to say a sentence excitedly, and then he couldn't wait. When you wait on the ground, you will drink all the wine in the bottle. Such a irritability is as if you are worried that Wang Haibin will change his mouth...
