311 twenty three

Fang Xian hesitated for a while and asked, "Governor, can I trust you?"

This time the governor took the initiative: "Of course, although I am not a merchant, I can swear by my title and surname."

"Okay." Fang Xian said bluntly, "This time I came, my fleet was loaded with 25 warehouses of oysters."

"25...Cang..." The governor's domineering aura disappeared in an instant. He only felt like he had entered a world of oysters, and he could not finish oysters in his lifetime...

"I want to give these oysters to the Governor you personally raise them."

"This...this...this...will you give it to the Governor General Ji'adin's Office, or..." The Governor swallowed deeply.

"You personally, Governor, haven't you asked your name yet?"

"Twenty-three? Governor, just call me twenty-three."

"……………” Fang Xian calculated with his fingers. It seemed that the governor was a surname, and the twenty-three was a name. This family looked very profound.

The Governor is a wise man and knows that there is no good thing in vain: "Mr. Fang, what are your conditions?"

"Help me keep the secret of oysters, help me keep the living oysters, and make this port my exclusive port." Fang Xian said three conditions in one breath, one more than the other.

The governor immediately understood, his eyes widened and Zhenran said, "Are you bribing me?!"

"Yes, use 25 garages of oysters."

"Okay, I accept it, for the sake of oysters!" The Governor held the hands of the Eastern Captain in tears. "From now on, the Hong Kong only allows the Fang family navy to come here for trade. Other fleets can only rely on the port to replenish supplies, and it is prohibited to step into the town!"

Now that the party was stunned, he thought the governor would have to struggle, and then he was embarrassed to accept this condition. It turns out that it was so pleasant for you to accept bribes there?

In fact, this is not a fault with the Governor. Bribery of the Governor is a setting in the game. All Governors will accept it as appropriate.

It is also a risky move to directly bribe the governor to make his share of the market.

In the current situation, in order to block the news, it is safest to destroy the entire ship of oysters.

But in this game... the goods cannot be destroyed and will not deteriorate.

There are only two ways to completely disappear in a warehouse of goods.

One is to sell it.

The second is to let the cargo ship disappear directly.

If you sell it, you will be discovered and you will be hurt by destroying the ship directly. Fang Xian simply threw it to the governor, asking him to help him keep the oyster roots and make the port full of the share. Even if other forces find abnormal movements here, they will not be interested in fighting. After all, the port has developed too low, and other forces do not know that the gold trade products such as oysters will be here.

Therefore, Fang Xian chose to occupy the port by bribery. If he continues to invest, as Ji'adin's development improves, some new products will definitely appear. Instead, it will attract the attention of the Kuhn Chamber of Commerce and the Preyra Chamber of Commerce.

After meeting with the Governor Twenty-three, Fang Xian had to pull out sailors holding girls of all kinds from the tavern, on the bed, behind the hut, and wait for places, and force them to transport the goods from the ship to the Governor's Mansion.

Such a bold and generous bribery attracted the attention of the local exchange managers. Ji'adin's exchange had never done any big business. Since it could only conduct [rice] trade, the exchange had gradually become a grain store for locals. Seeing the Chinese fleet full of goods, this thin and half-bald European wearing small round-frame glasses naturally could not bear it.

Fang Xian was not honest and watched the surroundings vigilantly, for fear that some guy would sneak a box of goods. Just like the medieval Dutch monopolized the production method of mirrors, as long as these things flowed out, it would be equivalent to losing tons of gold coins. Darba and Zhang Dashun were naturally ordered to supervise the worker along the way.

The shopkeeper of the exchange briefly observed the three of them, and after confirming his thoughts, he came to Zhang Dashun's side.

"Dear Admiral, welcome to Ji'adin." The shopkeeper restrained his smile and tried his best to maintain his temperament to avoid too much flattery.

"Oh? Admiral..." Zhang Dashun was stunned, then he was floating. The fat man rubbed his stomach and laughed, "What are you calling me?"

"Admiral."

"Okay... OK..." Zhang Dashun was very happy to be called, but when he turned around, he saw the eldest young master of the Fang family, and immediately sweated again. He hurriedly wiped his forehead and whispered, "I'm just a job, the admiral of the fleet is there..."

The shopkeeper slapped the lenses, squinted his eyes and looked at them again.

It's so abnormal. Since it's a caravan, the admiral should be a fat middle-aged man with a fat heart. How could he be so young?

The shopkeeper began to question his own judgment, so he simply tempted the fat man: "So, can I call you the adjutant?"

"This is OK!" Zhang Dashun floated again, "If I hadn't been to the leadership with my rich experience, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been to Ji'ading."

"I admire you, I admire you, the accurate surveyor is the most professional navigator!"

"The shopkeeper's award, haha, do you know Zheng He? I..."

“…”

After listening to a lot of nonsense, the shopkeeper finally chose an inappropriate opportunity to insert the topic rudely.

"Adminton, I really couldn't imagine what kind of goods can allow you to deliver them here from a distant country after all the hardships..."

Zhang Dashun has many shortcomings, but fortunately, he has a strong IQ and obviously he will not be so easily plagiarized.

"I don't know this, actually." Zhang Dashun adopted the usual method of playing football in the officialdom back then. "The shopkeeper can negotiate directly with the admiral, and I shouldn't care about this."

The shopkeeper shook his head helplessly, and the Orientals were indeed smart.

As he was speaking, the goods were almost shipped, the Governor Twenty-san also came in person and hugged Admiral Fang again with a cordial embrace.

"So that's it." The shopkeeper finally understood that bribery was common.

Then, the Governor also found the shopkeeper and led Fang Xian over to introduce him.

"Mr. Shopkeeper, this is the admiral of Fang, the Fang family's navy."

"Good luck, lucky luck." The shopkeeper showed a restrained smile again and shook hands with Fang Xian.

"I guess your name is also twenty-san." After expressing friendship, Fang Xian boldly speculated.

The governor laughed and said, "Yes, the full name of the shopkeeper is Twenty-three? The shopkeeper."

"Being a parent is really easy to deal with." Fang Xian complained secretly.

After the introduction, the governor said again: "By the way, shopkeeper, I just signed a contract with Admiral Fang. Now Ji'ading is the exclusive port of the Fang family's naval army. You can sell all the goods to Fang."

The shopkeeper was shocked. He usually had to go through huge investments to monopolize the port. Although the port could only trade with one force from now on, this considerable investment would also allow the port commerce to develop rapidly.

But if it is exclusively owned by bribery... Ji'ading's prospects are worrying. (To be continued...)
