"Dear sir, lighters are too expensive. We have flint lighters in Europe. Although they are larger than them, they are better in that they can be used continuously and can be refilled with fuel.

Moreover, this purchase also consumed all our planned funds.”

Banduma shook his head. It's not like Europe doesn't have this kind of stuff. When he got back and got a good deal, it was an ounce a handful, and he knew that the price wouldn't sell much in Europe, so he was naturally unwilling to make a deal.

"Dear Mr. Chairman, we have noticed that the Ming Dynasty is currently fighting against the rebels in Liaodong. If you and the great Ming Emperor are willing, we can help you and provide some useful firearms.

If you are worried about the payment, don’t worry at all, you can use barter.”

"Mr. Abel is very well-informed. But since it is aid, why do we need to barter? If you are willing to provide us with some firearms for free, I think His Majesty will be very happy."

Chen Ye shook his head. The flintlock guns of the Dutch now were nothing more than fire sticks compared to the ones he had customized, so he was not interested at all.

"Well, I will try my best to apply for you. But we have so much goods, so we ask His Majesty the Ming Emperor to arrange Zheng Zhilong's cooperation as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, we just need to load the ship. According to the time, the people sent by the emperor have already arrived in Fujian."

There are several merchant ships stopped by foreigners in Tianjin Port. These ships came from Japan, so they were not exploited by Zheng Zhilong. However, if you want to return to India, you still need to pass through Zheng Zhilong's territory.

"Okay, there are 48,000 gold coins in total. After you deliver the goods, we will also hand over the money. As long as this cooperation is pleasant, I believe our cooperation will become more and more frequent."

"It's a pleasure to cooperate. We will cooperate more and more in the future. The goods will be delivered to you in a few days. Now let's get into the time of signing the contract."

Chen Ye took out a purchase. On the A4 printing paper, several traditional Chinese contracts confirmed the details of the transaction.

After filling in the specific quantity, delivery date, transaction currency, minimum currency purity, and 10% deposit, Abel took the contract, looked at it carefully, and handed it to Banduma, who took it and read it again.

All confirmed there are no problems.

Chen Ye signed and stamped Wang Chengen's stamp, while Banduma and Abel stamped their stamps, and then shook hands to celebrate the smooth transaction.

"I almost forgot, there is another thing that I want to promote to you. This is a really good thing and the best tool for transportation. Please follow me to a place."

Chen Ye suddenly remembered that he had not promoted his bicycle yet.

Immediately, they took the two of them to the yard, opened the side room, pushed out a bicycle, and led a few people to the street outside the yard. People passing by in twos and threes looked at the car pushed by Chen Ye curiously.

Banduma looked at the two-wheeled vehicle that Chen Ye pushed out with bright eyes. It could be seen that the seat on the frame was for people.

"Is this the means of transportation you are talking about? Oh, God, the front and rear wheels, how does it maintain balance?"

"I'll show you how to ride it and you'll understand."

Chen Ye shook the hem of his Hanfu and suddenly regretted that he shouldn't have changed into Hanfu today. It was too awkward to ride a bicycle.

Watching Chen Ye sit on the bench and start riding slowly. Under the control of Chen Ye, a veteran, the bicycle was smooth and steady with no shaking at all. The eyes of the two foreigners were as bright as light bulbs.

"I must try it. This must be an invention that spans the ages."

"Hey, Abel, let me tell you, if we sell the patent for this thing to the UK, we can definitely make a lot of money."

The two people were chattering in their native Dutch language, and Chen Ye listened for most of it. He couldn't understand a single word of the Dutch language that he had recently learned on a temporary basis.

"Dear sir, please let me try this new model."

"Come on, come on, prince, help them control it."

Abel couldn't wait to switch with Chen Ye. He was almost the same height as Chen Ye, so it was effortless for him to put his legs on the ground.

Banduma continued to think about how to maximize the benefits of this magical horseless carriage.

‘Could it be that the railway carriage the Ming Emperor rode not long ago was also like this?’

Banduma suddenly thought that the Chongzhen military parade not long ago took a large iron car, but now combined with bicycles, he felt that he understood.

The iron cart in my mind gradually turned transparent. There were two or three bicycles running parallel inside, and three eunuchs were pedaling in a hurry. The emperor stood on top of them, half of his body exposed.

"Ouch!"

Abel had good balance, so he asked Wang Chengen to let him go. As a result, he crashed into someone else's wall and crashed. This exclamation also woke up Banduma who was dreaming.

Seeing Abel's excited face, not caring about the pain of falling and wanting to continue riding, Banduma couldn't help but stepped forward to let Abel rest and experience it himself.

Chen Ye and Wang Chengen who retreated to the steps looked at the two foreigners who were helping each other on their bikes.

"Shopkeeper, it seems that these foreign devils like it very much. How much do you plan to price this item?"

"Well, for bulk shipments, each unit costs fifty gold coins."

There is a lot of gold in Europe, coupled with blood transfusions from India and Japan, Chen Ye is not worried at all about selling Europeans at high prices, but he will not completely fix the price. Everyone has to make money.

After Banduma and Abel had enjoyed the ride, they returned to the room.

"Dear Mr. Chairman, this bicycle is indeed magical. It saves effort when traveling long distances and is very fast. How much does it cost for one?"

"This is not expensive. It costs 100 gold coins per unit, and the minimum price is 1,000 gold coins."

"Fifty ounces? Are you kidding me, sir? A horse costs less than two gold coins. Fifty ounces can buy a farm."

"Yes, sir, this price is completely unsaleable. We in Europe are so poor, unlike the Ming Dynasty, which is so rich. Please be considerate of us."

Abel and Banduma said exaggeratedly, as if they had forgotten that the 40,000 gold coins they just signed was only the order for the first batch of goods.

"That's the price. You two gentlemen, you want to see the chain, the frame, and the spring of this car. Which one can be made in Europe?"

Believe me, there must be tens of thousands of European nobles, hundreds of thousands of knights, and farmers, who doesn't have a fortune of several thousand gold coins?

This is a huge market, and if you buy a thousand or ten thousand vehicles, you can earn tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of gold coins."

"Sir, don't be ridiculous. This price is definitely not good. There are not that many rich people in Europe. We can't even make much profit from your goods. The most I can offer is twenty gold coins for a bicycle."

"Banduma, are you a vampire? Won't you be considerate of our friend? Chairman Chen, I have the final say. Twenty ounces. There is really no way to increase the price at this price."

Chen Ye looked at the two people but said nothing, and slowly extended four fingers to Banduma.
