The South African port bulk trading hall is a standard official service organization. The merchants who need goods look for goods here, the merchants who have goods entrust the sale of goods here, and the trading hall acts as an intermediary to match the transactions between the two parties.

Of course, transaction inquiries only provide information and do not provide any guarantee of the transaction process.

Several people from the Blue Trading Company have been collecting various information in the trading floor every day these days, understanding various market conditions in the South African port, and understanding the market sailing in Europe.

Then look for potential partners.

After all, the goods they transported are worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. It is impossible to just set up a stall and find a few people to sell them. They have to find those merchants from Europe, and then directly conduct large-scale transactions.

During this process, Lu Zhenjiang was also very busy. He was so busy that he didn't even have time to go to the small green building, but this busyness was not unrewarding. After collecting information for many days, he was already helping the company manager to get in touch. After multiple channels, you are waiting to trade.

After the transaction is completed, the goods will be purchased and then set off to return home.

As long as he returns to China safely, Lu Zhenjiang will be able to get a lot of bonuses, plus his daily salary, his savings will be able to reach several hundred yuan by then.

Lu Zhenjiang thought that after returning to China this time, he would go to the sea two or three times, and after saving a thousand yuan, he would see if there was any chance to do business on his own. Much more, but no one knows when it will die.

Lv Zhenjiang looks forward to returning to China as soon as possible, but if he wants to return to China, he has to sell the goods first, and then purchase the goods smoothly, so that he can return to China. Before that, he has to stay in the South African port.

Just when Lv Zhenjiang and a large group of businessmen who came to South Africa from China were busy collecting information and preparing to trade, those businessmen who came to South Africa port from Europe, North Africa and other regions also took action one by one at this time. .

Three days ago, Datang's merchant fleet arrived at the port, and the merchants in Europe and North Africa who had been waiting for at least ten days and a half months, and most of them had been waiting for three or four months, were all excited. .

The rumors are not false. This time, the Datang merchant fleet really has dozens of ships. Although half of them are migrant ships, **** and supply ships, half of them are pure merchant ships.

There were thirty merchant ships in total, each of which was fully loaded with various cargoes.

But at first glance, there are a lot of these goods, but you must know that the South African port has become a port where east and west meet. The Datang Empire has blocked the Indian Ocean and only allows European merchants to trade with Datang people in South African ports.

In this case, businessmen from almost the whole of Europe and North Africa came over.

Spain and Portugal, the two major seafaring countries, had as many as 20 ships in the South African port at this time, and then the two emerging seafaring countries, England and the Netherlands, each had seven or eight merchant ships in the South African port. , and then there are other messy countries, you have one and I have one, and there are more than a dozen ships in total.

In other words, at this time, there were at least fifty or sixty European and North African merchant ships in the South African port.

These merchant ships brought special products from Europe, America and Africa, and then waited for the goods of Datang in the South African port.

Not only the local goods from the Datang mainland, but also the goods from India, Southeast Asia and other regions, which are urgently needed in today's European market.

The Datang merchant fleet came with thirty ships, but there were fifty or sixty merchants in Europe and North Africa. Although Datang's ships were generally larger in tonnage, they were still small in number.

This also means that it is destined that some European merchant ships cannot return with full warehouses, and even if they have money in their hands, it is impossible to buy enough goods.

In this case, competition is doomed.

There are many smart people in this world, and Alvin Grant is one of them.

He brought his pirate ship to the South African port for more than a month, just to wait for the arrival of the Datang merchant fleet. Of course, at the same time, he was not idle, inquiring about news everywhere, trying to find an easy one. Start, the fat sheep with rich oil and water.

The selection of fat sheep is naturally very particular. For example, those official ships, such as the merchant fleets sent by the Spanish royal family, the Portuguese royal family, the English royal family, etc., are generally large ships with strong self-defense firepower, and there are also several ships at the same time. Act together, and there will even be a battleship escort.

It's just that Datang does not allow foreign warships to enter the South African port, so their warships are still outside the South African waters, ready to receive and **** the merchant ships when they return.

This kind of official merchant fleet is not a target that these little pirates can rob. Generally, only those big big pirate gangs, such as the famous big men in the Fourth Fleet, can carry powerful strength. The pirate fleet directly attacked these official merchant fleets.

The ships of the merchants who are too weak, and there are not many valuables on them.

Therefore, it is still a bit difficult for Alvin to find a fat sheep who is rich but not strong in force.

It's just that such fat sheep are hard to find, and the number must be very small. At this moment, there are many pirates, sea traders and pirates in the South African port. If they act slower, it is estimated that the fat sheep will be preempted by others. .

Finally, there is a very important point that, except for the official fleet and pirates such as Alvin, who dare to come to the South African port, even ordinary businessmen, but they are all ruthless characters. A good stubble.

In the end, it's hard to say who robs whom, to be honest!

So Alvin also has to be careful to avoid becoming a fat sheep in the eyes of others!

After observing this month, he also found two potential targets, one was two Dutch merchant ships, and the other was an English merchant ship.

Among these three potential targets, the two Dutch merchant ships belonged to small ships, with a tonnage of no more than two or three hundred tons. People and financial resources are not too weak. The courtyards rented in Tiandi Inn are all good ones, and the rent is expensive. At least he, Alvin, is reluctant to rent such a good courtyard.

As for the other English merchant ship, it is also a merchant with weak weapons and medium financial resources. Although this English ship is said to be his compatriot of Alvin, but pirates know no borders, and guns should be robbed.

Several bigwigs in the famous Fourth Fleet are all from the Tang Dynasty, and they have not yet attacked the Tang merchant ships, and he is naturally no exception as an Englishman.

When the time comes to learn the methods of the Fourth Fleet, after robbing it, a torch will set the ship on fire and kill everyone. Who would know that Alvin had attacked his compatriots in the sea.

With the arrival of the Datang merchant fleet, it is expected that many merchant ships in Europe and North Africa will complete the sale and purchase of goods in a short period of time, and then return to Europe. This is not only to transport the goods back to Europe as soon as possible, and to earn higher profits Profits, but also to avoid being targeted by those pirates.

Therefore, Alvin has been very busy these days. On the one hand, he is taking his subordinates to sell and purchase normal goods, and at the same time, he is also monitoring his two goals.

At the same time, he also tried to directly contact the merchant ships of his compatriots in England, saying that he wanted to accompany him and return together to resist possible pirates.

However, this attempt of his failed. Everyone went out to sea to run business, and all of them were very vigilant. They would rather rush out of the port, then go deep into the ocean, and then disappear into the sea to return to sail alone, rather than being unwilling to come from unknown sources. Ships go together.

Because no one knows whether the merchant ships that take over will become pirate ships and attack them halfway.

Although Alvin disguised well, he was too vigilant.

But it doesn't matter, as the so-called plan a doesn't work~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is plan b. He is ready to complete the transaction ahead of time, and he can leave the port at any time after the preparation is completed. After waiting for his goal to leave the port, he immediately follows the port. Follow all the way.

With his refitted Alvin, which is faster than ordinary merchant ships, he has the confidence to catch up with these ordinary merchant ships, and then kill them all.

In order to complete the transaction quickly and leave enough preparation time, he did not hesitate to let his subordinates risk their lives to take a bath, and then went to the trading floor in the trading area to find the trading object instead of himself.

Although Alvin promised a lot of rewards, but he chose to take a bath and go to the trade area's subordinates. Before taking a bath, although they all looked like death, but they really let them take a bath, but they still refused to wait. After washing, in the end, after another threat and inducement from Alvin, he forced them to take a bath successfully, and then put on clean clothes.

And this new dress is the Tang suit that Alvin purchased especially for. This is the more popular business wear in the Tang Dynasty. A right-sided jacket with straight-through trousers, plus a woolen over-the-knee coat, usually in dark tones. Mainly, this kind of clothing is usually worn by people in shopping malls in Datang.

And this kind of dress is also gradually accepted by foreign countries with the appearance of Datang merchant ships. There are many foreign businessmen in order to show their status as upper-class people, and also to better deal with Datang people. In the port below, you will also wear this kind of clothing.

After Alvin arrived at the South African port, he found that many foreign businessmen also wore this way. In order to show his identity, he also made two sets of clothes, and he also wore this way when he appeared on weekdays.

Now, if you want to let your subordinates enter the trade area to deal with the people of the Tang Dynasty, of course, you can't let the people wear too shabby clothes, otherwise, how can you trade with those people of the Tang Dynasty after entering the trade area.
