"Really?" John was overjoyed. It was really a big job. Instead of returning to the West and being a pauper, it would be better to be a rich man in the East. When Bobby died, John had already decided to do this.

Agreeing to help Kui Yi obtain the right to garrison troops in Java was his confession to Kui Yi. After all, Kui Yi was not someone to be trifled with. If he spent some money to hire a killer and kill him as a traitor, he would not be able to survive his life.

As long as he had the right to station troops in Java, Kui Yi would be happy to make money with him in East Asia instead of paying off killers to kill him.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I will throw you into the sea right now to feed the fish." Zheng Zhilong is now very keen on tying people up and throwing stones into the sea. It is convenient, quick, simple and practical, and it is really the only way to disappear from the world. Those wallflowers in Macau disappeared like this.

of.

"In the underground vault of the East India Company, there is a dark layer underground. The gold and silver are stored there, and there is a designed mechanism at the door. If it is opened forcibly, a gunpowder explosion will be triggered. Anyone who opens the mechanism will definitely not survive.

"

"How many?"

"The silver is about fifty thousand taels, and the gold is more than one thousand taels."

As soon as these words were spoken, John noticed that Li Xiao and Zheng Zhilong's eyes lit up at the same time. John knew that his new job was secured.

"Second brother, you and Mr. Zheng Liu will take him to get the money." Li Xiao asked someone to call Li Xiao, and Zheng Zhilong asked someone to call Zheng Zhiyuan. Li Xiao gave the order, and John obediently led the two people to dig for the money.

.

"Ha", "ha", "ha"...! Li Xiao and Zheng Zhilong were laughing almost from ear to ear. They didn't expect that they could get fifty thousand taels of silver and one thousand taels of gold so easily. The money they used to buy Chen Sifu

It was finally settled, and other properties of the East India Company were confiscated. This time, both of them made a huge fortune.

At the same time, they can occupy Macau without any hidden dangers.

The purpose of occupying the Straits was actually to collect money. With the Ming Dynasty's manpower and material resources, the most important thing was the concept of relocating the country. Fully occupying the South China Sea was still a matter of course.

"Brother! This time, we have made a fortune."

"Hahaha!" Although Li Xiao was happy, he was still a little dissatisfied. After all, his main purpose of going south this time was to obtain strategic resources such as rubber.

"Sir! There is a red-haired man named Nicholas who wants to see you!" Shunzi walked in and reported to Li Xiao.

This victory was possible because of Nicholas's great contribution. Li Xiao happily met this foreign friend and welcomed him at the door cordially!

"Hello, Mr. Nicholas." Seeing Nicholas, Li Xiao shook hands with Nicholas warmly.

"Hello! Mr. Li!" Nikolaeva was wearing regular clothes today, not wearing a birdcage-like cage skirt. When she saw Li Xiao, she politely extended her white hand.

Under the hot July sun, Nikolaeva's arms were dazzlingly white. Li Xiao felt that the arms were like porcelain, and he even felt a little reflective.

This time there was no embarrassment like last time. Li Xiao and Nikolaeva shook hands. The snow-white hands were so damn white, so white that you could clearly see the blue blood vessels under the skin. The distance was very close, and Li Xiao noticed that Nikolaeva

Gulaeva's arms are as smooth as a mirror. There is far less body hair than European women!

"Please come inside!" It was really hot outside, so Li Xiao invited Nikolai and Nikolaeva into the house.

"This time, I still want to thank Mr. Nicholas for informing me. We will protect your rights and interests in Macau. You can do business in Macau from now on, and no one will cause trouble for you. This is Mr. Zheng Zhilong. If you have any trouble in the future,

If you have any difficulties, you can ask him for help." Li Xiao introduced Zheng Zhilong to Nicholas.

After all, Zheng Zhilong is the local snake, and Li Xiao does not want to be sorry for Nikolai, a foreign friend.

"Hello, Mr. Zheng." Nikolai didn't speak Chinese very well, so Nikolaeva automatically translated.

"Hello to you!" Zheng Zhilong didn't like the red-haired ghosts. Although Nicholas' hair was golden, Zheng Zhilong still called them red-haired ghosts as a habit.

"Thank you Mr. Li and Mr. Zheng for your care. I will do good business in Macau in the future. But this time I came here to tell Mr. Li. I heard Tang Ruowang say that you want to get a plant. That thing called rubber?

"

"Do you have one?" Li Xiao's eyes immediately lit up. This was such a surprise. He just wanted to sleep, so someone brought him a pillow.

"I have some planted in my manor, but only a dozen. My daughter always wants a dress that doesn't get wet!" Nikolai glanced at Nikolaeva dotingly.

"More than a dozen!" Li Xiao gritted his teeth, wondering if a dozen would be enough. He wanted a lot of rubber, but these rubber trees were obviously unable to meet his requirements.

"I know that the East India Company has tried to sell this kind of thing. But it doesn't seem to be selling very well. There is a lot of inventory in the warehouse." Nikolayeva saw that Li Xiao was a little disappointed and hurriedly reminded Li Xiao.

"Oh! Is there such a thing? Take me there quickly." Li Xiao jumped up immediately. Macau has been very chaotic these days. Many warehouses of the East India Company have been robbed, and some guys even set fire to cover up their crimes. What if these things happen?

It would be terrible if precious rubber was set on fire by some assholes who didn't know any better.

Li Xiao picked up Nicholas and walked out, startling Zheng Zhilong. I have known Li Xiao for so long, and I have never seen Li Xiao so anxious.

After thinking about it, he stood up and followed Li Xiao out. He didn't understand what it was that Li Xiao valued so much. His intuition told him that the gadgets that Li Xiao valued must be good things.

Nikolaeva saw her father being pulled by Li Xiao, and reluctantly followed her out. The sun was blazing outside, and no one was willing to step out of the cool house unless necessary.

After getting on Nikolai's carriage, Li Xiao almost kicked the driver on the butt. The guards gathered in a panic, not understanding why the man in charge had to go out on a hot day.

Shunzi was carrying a short-barreled firecracker, holding open the door of the carriage, with both feet on the outside pedal. He looked outside like a police dog!

There were five children-like people sitting next to the coachman. The red-haired coachman looked at the children. Just when he was about to ask, he felt two cold eyes looking at him.

The look in Rooster's eyes was obviously intimidating. The red-haired and big-nosed coachman immediately drove the carriage like a car. The sooner he got there, the sooner he could get rid of this wolf-like look.

In a hurry, we arrived at the East India Company's warehouse on the dock. A group of people were moving things inside. Macau is now in a standard state of anarchy. Where a group of pirates are entrenched, how can there be social order? As long as your fists are big and the knife is fast enough.

reason.

The local Han residents in Macau were relatively unmolested. The treatment of the foreigners was not good. Some homes were robbed three times a day. Many female owners were also raped! Anyway, no one took care of the harm to them, and those houses were burned down.

Yes, when someone in the family dies, they all use foreigners as targets to vent their anger.

Although Nikolai's house was also robbed, after Li Xiu hung the pirate leader on a tree to dry himself, his belongings flew back as if they had wings. Now no one dares to rob Nikolai anymore.

It was the idea of ​​Nicholas's family. Many foreigners took refuge in Nicholas's family.

Tent after tent was set up in the garden to receive these Western war refugees.

Li Xiao saw these people carrying East India Company goods, pulled out his revolver and fired a shot into the air with a bang.

Everyone was shocked and looked blankly at the young man on the carriage. They didn't know what he was going to do!

"Call your bosses out!" Li Xiao pointed his pistol at those guys and shouted.

No one moved, and the reason was very simple. None of these people could understand Li Xiao's northern dialect.

Zheng Zhilong got out, and this was a big deal. Everyone's body was shorter, and they were hunched over and did not dare to breathe loudly.

"Seal dog! Did Zhibao ask you to move things?" Zheng Zhilong glanced at the leader, and it turned out to be Zheng Zhibao's sea dog.

"Master! It was Master Bao who told me to pull back these red-haired ghosts. Master Bao...!"

"Move them all back to me. Without me, who would dare to move again. I tied him with stones and threw him into the sea." Zheng Zhilong shouted coldly, and everyone started moving like clockwork.

The soldiers from the guard company ran after him panting, and Shunzi followed Li Xiao with a short-barreled firecracker.

Grabbing the sharp dagger from Roasted Chicken, Li Xiao began to unpack the goods one by one. The goods were piled up in a mountain, and they were made a mess by these pirates. He didn't know how long it would take to find the rubber.

.

"Oh! Rubber, rubber should be in warehouse No. B3." Nikolaeva was smart and ran into the office. After searching for a long time, she finally dug out the receipt. After searching for a while, she found the rubber storage inside.

Place.

"B1, B2, B3, that's where it is!" Nikolaeva looked at the sign on the warehouse and quickly found the B3 warehouse.

Fortunately, the warehouse was at the innermost part of the dock warehouse, and the pirates obviously had not had time to destroy it. The goods here were stacked fairly neatly, and Li Xiao followed Nikolayeva to a wooden box.

Shunzi took a crowbar and pried open the wooden box. Li Xiao took out a dagger and opened the oilcloth inside with a few clicks. I don't know who was packing the rubber without any care. Why should you use oilcloth to wrap rubber?

The chicken-roasting dagger was indeed sharp enough, and it cut through several layers of oilcloth in one go. When Li Xiao saw the black stuff inside, he almost jumped out of his mouth.

The destruction movement slowed down, and he cut off a small piece at the edge. He kept kneading it hard with his hands, feeling the amazing elasticity. Li Xiao felt happy, I found it.
Chapter completed!
