After coming out of the wooden house, Liu Wu and the other pirate bosses separated, and led his pirates towards their old nest. After about two hours, the ship was a certain distance from the island occupied by Wang Luoba. Standing at the center of the boat, Liu Wu looked back and asked, "Is there any suspicious ship nearby?"

"Brothers, following the orders of the master, proceeded carefully and left Wang Luoba's patrol boat behind."

A little pirate leader replied.

"Very good, tell all brothers, all the boats turn around and go north. Today, I will give the brothers a great future!"

五 Liu Wu decisively.

"Yes, he is the master." The little pirate chief responded with a happy voice, and then commanded the pirate ship to turn around with great interest. ...

In the capital of East Indies, Batavia, Zhang Zhenxun, the richest businessman in Nanyang, came with several unusual guests.

"Master Zhang, this is Mr. Kirby from the United Kingdom. Mr. Kirby is a successful businessman. He has many companies in Qingguo and Japan. Mr. Kirby heard that you are the largest businessman in Nanyang. Japan came to the East Indies and wanted to do business with the master. "

Jakarta's Chinese Jia Bidan Huang Fuyuan pointed at a blond foreigner and introduced it to Zhang Zhenxun.

"I don't know what Mr. Kirby wants to do with Zhang?"

Zhang Zhenxun asked.

"I heard that Mr. Zhang has seven reclamation companies in the East Indies. There are more than 100 square kilometers of rubber reclamation farms alone. I want to cooperate with Mr. Zhang to develop rubber plantations. What does Mr. Zhang think?"

Kirby, a ghost in the foreign world, did not use Huang Fuyuan's translation, and spoke in a local accent in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

"Mr. Kirby may not know much about rubber farms. The Yuxing rubber plantation farm in Zhang's name is not a single person's industry, but a company jointly funded and held by Zhang and Defeng Agricultural Reclamation.

The rubber seeds and seedlings of Yuxing Rubber Plantation Farm were all imported by Defeng Agricultural Company. When cooperating with Defeng Company, the agreement signed between the two parties stated that without the consent of Defeng Company, Yuxing Company could not unilaterally introduce the first A three-party partnership, so if Mr. Kirby wants to cooperate, he still needs to find the management personnel of Defeng Company. "

"Huang, do you know the situation of Defeng Agricultural Reclamation Company?"

Kirby turned and asked.

"The director of Defeng Agricultural Reclamation Company is a German company. They have many rubber plantations in Sarawak, Sabah and other areas of Borneo. Moreover, Defeng Agricultural Reclamation Company officially employs 40,000 to 50,000 workers to equip Dresser. There are two or three thousand rifle guards. In Borneo, the strength of Defeng Agricultural Reclamation Company is comparable to that of Lanfang Company, which is very difficult to mess with. "

Huang Fuyuan introduced.

"East India is a crazy place!"

Kirby, the ghost of the ocean, patted his head and was surprised. "Huang, do you know? How surprised when I passed Sarawak and heard that Brooke established a country there?"

Kirby, the ghost of the ocean, asked himself, "Brook is just a poor sailor. How incredible he was to establish a country in Borneo!

And not only does Brook establish a country in Borneo, but also has an army. Elsewhere in East India, thousands of people are armed under the command of Kuala Lumpur, Melaka, Penang, and Penang. They really do n’t understand where they have so much money. Supply armed forces? "

咳 "Ahem, everyone is a collaborator of Britain and the Netherlands. They have the right armed forces to defend the interests of Britain and the Netherlands in East India."

Huang Fuyuan is a vested interest in the Jia Bidan system. After hearing Kirby's words, he explained a bit awkwardly.

"Well, the situation in the East Indies is not the same as that of Qing Guo and Japan. Since Mr. Zhang can't be the master, let's put aside the rubber plantation and talk about another business for the time being."

"Mr. Kirby, please."

"The Kobe Iron Plant and Jia Bidan have a big business to do. They need a lot of ships to transport goods, so I hope to be able to rent a group of merchant ships from Mr. Zhang. The number does not need to be too much. The above merchant ships are all right, shouldn't Mr. Zhang have any problems? "

"I'm sorry Mr. Kirby, my shipping company was just set up, and the merchant ships in the company are now transporting goods outside and cannot be leased out."

Zhang Zhenxun said with a pitiful expression.

"Lend time can be relaxed, and ten days later."

"Don't hide Mr. Kirby, there will be no free time for the company's fleet after ten or twenty days, so Mr. Kirby still looks for cooperation with other companies, there are dozens of Nanyang shipping companies', I believe Mr. Kirby will soon find a suitable one's business Patner."

Zhang Zhenxun was sincere in appearance, but actually blocked the possibility of cooperation between the two parties. The foreign devotee Kirby and Chinese Jia Bidan did not relax when they saw each other, and they left Zhang Zhenxun's residence after a few words.

"Dad, the foreigners and you Jiabidan are powerful, why don't you want to cooperate with them?"

After the devil Kirby and Huang Fuyuan left, a pretty girl came out behind the screen, puzzled.

"Jabitar Kapitan Huang Fuyuan, Kapitan Cheng Perak in Kuala Lumpur, Kapitan Ye Yalai in Kuala Lumpur, Kapitan Dunn in Negeri Sembilan ... None of these people are related to each other. It ’s hard to do something good, and it ’s better for Dad not to mix with them. ”

Zhang Zhenxun looked at the baby girl and explained patiently.

"Daddy still thinks far ahead, we have big careers in Zhangjia, so we can't do bad things with them for a little benefit."

Zhang Baoyi sat on the chair to his father's right, took a cup of tea and handed it to Zhang Zhenxun, "I heard that Songka City ’s daughter is going to marry the King of Han. Will Huang Fuyuan send someone to attack Songka City ’s revenge? The daughter's fleet? "

"Shouldn't, those capitans don't have the courage."

Zhang Zhenxun shook his head and said, "Although Taiping will develop and grow in the Nanyang region, which harms the interests of the captains who are loyal to the foreigners, the maritime forces escorting Songkhla ’s lords are powerful. On the hard stone of the **** fleet. "

"Should we remind the Han country in advance? After all, the rubber plantations at home are provided by the Han country. In the event that the Han forces suffer losses in the South Ocean, it will also be detrimental to the family."

Zhang Baoyi is only fifteen or sixteen years old, but has habitually advised his father.

"It is necessary to give the Chinese side thorough information. Although Defeng Agricultural Reclamation Co., Ltd. is clothed with German skins, it is ultimately a company controlled by the Han country. The Han government has given Nanyang businessmen a lot of benefits. If we can help, we still have to help. "

Zhang Zhenxun put down the tea cup, looked outside, pondered for a while, and then said, "Bao Yi, do you want to go to Han country?"

"Why did Dad ask that?"

宝 Zhang Baoyi's face that combines the beauty of oriental girls and the fairness of western women has a puzzled expression on her face, questioning.

"The Dutch are wary of me. Since nine years ago, they have continuously restricted the development of the company in my name. Until now, the assets at home have been reduced by about 10% compared with nine years ago. After all, the East Indies are In the Dutch colony, we stayed at other people's sites to make money. It is easy to cause their eyesight, so I want to leave a home in advance for you and your sixth brother to set up an industry in Han country, also as a Zhang family. A place to stay in the future. "

Zhang Zhenxun was the richest man in Nanyang. In 1869, Zhang Zhenxun's total assets were about 80 million silver, which was nearly 10 million more than the one-year fiscal revenue of the Qing government. The huge amount of assets plus the Chinese's low political status in Nanyang Naturally it caused the greed of the Dutch colonists. Like other Nanyang Chinese businessmen, Chinese businessmen who became rich through commercial activities such as land reclamation and contracted mineral development have become foreigners' money bags. Eight or nine years ago, the Dutch generally encouraged indigenous people to massacre Chinese. Method, taking the wealth accumulated by the Chinese as their own, and since the Taiping will develop and grow in the South Ocean, and show the strength of the Chinese through the action of counteracting the indigenous forces, the Dutch generally no longer adopt the method of agitating the indigenous slaughter, but instead aim at The Chinese set up a wide range of taxes to exploit the wealth of the Chinese in a more secretive way.

Fearing the deterrent force developed by foreigners for decades, Nanyang Chinese businessmen did not dare to face resistance with foreigners. Therefore, in the seven or eight years, Zhang Zhenxun and other Nanyang Chinese businessmen suffered different degrees of restrictions. Their assets were also subject to Dutch exploitation tax. Slowly shrinking ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Zhang Zhenxun once helped him when Van Lansberg wasn't leaving. With Fan Lansberg's connections as Governor of the East Indies, Zhang Zhenxun became the richest man in Nanyang, but After all, Van Lansberg is the governor appointed by the Dutch government. His administrative policy in the East Indies needs to be more dominant than the national interests of the Netherlands, and it will not be because of Zhang Zhenxun's early help.

Moreover, Van Lansberg ’s term in the East Indies is about to end. Without his care, Zhang Zhenxun ’s assets will be in greater danger to rival countries. Therefore, Zhang Zhenxun was prepared to speed up the transfer of assets and will be distributed in the East Indies. The assets were transferred to Han and Songkhla.

Zhang Zhenxun's assets are huge. Compared with the total assets, the proportion of assets transferred to Han in the early stage is very low. As a member of the Zhang family, Zhang Baoyi can understand the need for his father to do so. Hesitating, did not immediately agree to his father's request.

"Is Baoyi worried about your mother?

Don't worry, let your mother Anna accompany you to Han country half a month later.

I heard for my father that the culture is open in the Han country. Many Han families have foreign women. Your mother should be able to get used to it soon. "

After thinking about why his daughter didn't immediately agree, Zhang Zhenxun smiled and explained.

"Will it be inconvenient for my mother to follow the daughter to the Han Parliament?"

"It's okay, I will go to Han country in person after a while, and see your mother and daughter by the way, you don't have to worry."

"That daughter is relieved."

宝 Zhang Baoyi smiled and nodded, and the expression on her face became a lot lighter.
