The Strait of Gibraltar is a traffic fortress in the Indian Ocean. It is one of the important hubs connecting the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean. It is also a convenient channel connecting Europe and Asia and Africa.
It can be said that in the 19th century, the Strait of Gibraltar was one of the busiest trade hubs. Every day, there are thousands of ships here, making it unprecedented prosperous.
"Here we are. That's the port of the Strait of zhibutuo!"
The three of Jin Buhuan stood on the deck, overlooking the prosperous and ancient port. At the moment, the Strait of Gibraltar is already bustling with ships coming and going, shuttling between the sea and the Strait.
On both sides of the port, some ships anchored and hurriedly unloaded the goods. Some businessmen were talking, apparently counting and quoting the goods.
Jin Buhuan took control of the ship and stopped towards the port berth in the wind. In order to show courtesy, all the people changed into high-grade suits. After anchoring, they invited a group of boatmans to help unload the goods and send them to the warehouse for temporary storage.
"Haven't the dutch businessmen arrived yet?"
After finishing the bow tie, the three of Jin Bu came over with a big boss attitude, which stunned all the officials. The officials recovered and quickly shook their heads,
"According to the transaction regulations between us, the transaction is indeed conducted today, but the ambassador of the Netherlands said that the delivery date has been changed to tomorrow."
"In that case, let's find a place to stay..."
After that, the three went straight up the port, and a very luxurious western style palace appeared not far away. This palace is magnificent, exquisitely decorated and covered with ceramic tiles, which looks very high-grade European style. Such a palace is specially provided for some big businessmen.
"Commander, we also live here?"
A group of people entered the hall. The small officers and soldiers behind them were a little uneasy and asked tentatively. Where did these crew members see this ostentation and extravagance, one by one, bound hands and feet like a woodlouse coming out of a gutter.
"Why, if you don't live here, is there a better place?"
Jin Bu smiled and joked. After hearing this, the officers and soldiers looked at each other in surprise.
"But... Living here is fifty Liang gold a night..."
The officers and soldiers swallowed a mouthful of saliva and whispered. In the past, those senior officials were not willing to let them live in such a high-end place. It was good not to stay outside the door for a night. Fifty two gold, which is unthinkable for these small boat soldiers.
"It's only fifty liang of gold. It's a bird. Even if it's five hundred liang of gold and ten thousand liang of gold a night, you have to live. In a word, we're not bad for money!"
Cao pangzi waved his hand and looked like a big capitalist. Indeed, these fifty Liang gold are not even a hair for them. To put it mildly, they came this time just to "experience life".
The officers and soldiers were stunned and almost didn't shed tears. The commander is really good. With such a master, they are willing to be cattle and horses.
As dutch businessmen stood up, they had to wait another day. After dealing with the problem of accommodation, the party went into the main hall and began to eat. At this time, a blonde foreign wooden servant came over with a menu,
“What do you need to eat?”
At this time, Cao fatty waved and took the menu. This guy feels bad all day without pretending to be forced. He meditated for a while and spoke a foreign language with a local accent,
“we want some fruit, steak, cheese.”
Awesome, awesome
The crew on one side were stunned. They didn't expect that Cao Tongling could speak a foreign language. Instead, Jin Buhuan looked at Bai Hu and shook his head. Fat people almost didn't finish nine years of compulsory education. They can't speak a foreign language. Needless to say, they must use the system.
This meal was a bit of a lethargy, mainly because these western foods were not in line with their appetite. Moreover, they have had enough lobster and abalone during this period of time. In the face of these steaks, they really feel a little low.
However, these small officers and soldiers were excited one by one, holding knives and forks solemnly. It's the first time they have eaten authentic western food, let alone have an air. I'm afraid after this trip back, this cow can blow for a lifetime.
After eating and drinking, they went back to rest. The next day, they received a message that the transaction was postponed for another three days. After listening to the Dutch ambassador, Kim Buhuan and the three felt something was wrong.
"Shit, these foreigners are too untimely. They fucking stood us up!"
Cao pangzi was really angry, but there was no way. He had to hold his breath and wait for another three days. In the past three days, the three were not idle and strolled here in the Strait of Gibraltar.
I have to say, the scenery here is really beautiful. The three climbed up the coastal mountains and looked into the sea. The sunset fell on the water, rippling red waves, and ships walked through from time to time.
However, they also saw a scene of disharmony. Some big capitalists madly suppressed the businessmen here, resulting in fierce conflict between the two sides. The same is true for the materials of several people. They paid ten times more than usual. If they didn't treat money like dirt, they would go up and do it every minute.
Finally, three days later, at the port of the Strait of Gibraltar, a Dutch merchant ship came in quietly.
Then, surrounded by a crowd, an old man in a tuxedo, a gold stick and gold glasses came ashore. The three took a look. This man should be a Dutch capitalist. Therefore, the three people tidy up their clothes and hurry down to meet.
"Are you the ambassador of the Netherlands? We are the messengers of the Qing Dynasty who deal with you."
Kim Bu Chang showed a standard smile and stretched out his hand to shake hands in a polite way. Unexpectedly, the translator beside the Dutch capitalist came over and stopped Jin Buhuan,
"Mr. Jize needs to rest and talk about it tomorrow."
After that, the party walked in without looking back. Jin Buhuan was ignored all the way, and even the handshake was rejected.
"Shit! Playing big cards?!"
Kim can't help it if he doesn't change. His grandmother's you just stood up. Now you have to play big cards. You can really pretend to be forced!
"Pull a coin. Just now I really wanted to pat my 50 yard sole on his 20 yard face!"
Cao pangzi is also angry. He can pretend to be forced enough. This old immortal is even more forced than him. Obviously he is a businessman, but he pretends to be forced like this. It is obviously arrogant and makes people want to strangle him every minute.
I have to say, this is really a force in its own hands. One mountain is higher than another.
However, the three still endured it. When this guy did something tomorrow, he had to break his neck!
