- On the southern coast of the Mediterranean Sea, Port Said in the northern section of the Egyptian Canal.
Since the opening of the Egyptian Canal, Port Said has rapidly prospered and developed.
As the entrance to the northern section of the Egyptian Canal, it has a huge natural advantage. Once the canal was opened, it quickly replaced many ports in Egypt and became the only place for business travelers and merchant ships to pass through. At the same time, it quickly became the center of the Mediterranean Sea. One of the most important trading points.
Spain, Portugal, France from the northwest of the Mediterranean, and even ships from Northern Europe; Italy and Venice from the north of the Mediterranean; Ottoman Empire merchant ships from the east of the Mediterranean, Eastern European merchant ships from the Black Sea, and Ming Empire merchant ships;
Everything is gathered here, because there is a steady stream of goods from the East coming from the Red Sea. The merchant ships of many colonies and vassal states of the Ming Empire in Tianzhu and East Africa also gather here, bringing all kinds of goods. Commodities make Port Said's business extremely prosperous.
In addition, Egypt and Spain are currently at war, competing for Alexandria; the French and Spanish are constantly fighting in the Mediterranean, which has a huge impact on the trade in the Mediterranean.
But Port Said is closely connected to the Egyptian Canal, half of which is owned by the Ming people, so it is protected by the Ming Empire. No one dares to run wild here, which makes Port Said's business more prosperous.
In Port Said, a large number of merchant ships were anchored here. The Venetians and Ottomans brought boatloads of slaves. This is now the most popular commodity. No amount of slaves can satisfy the huge appetite of the Ming people.
The Italians brought their own cheese and wine; the Spanish brought their own ham and olives; the French brought perfume, cheese and wine.
Selling their goods here only requires a very low tax and a small parking fee. If they pass through the Egyptian canal, they will have to pay a large navigation fee.
This is also an important reason why Port Said can prosper rapidly. After all, if the business can be completed here, there is no need to pay an additional navigation fee.
The prosperity of commerce also allowed many merchants, escort agencies, vassals, colonies, etc. in the Ming Dynasty to set up offices here. Even the First Bank of the Ming Dynasty opened a Port Said branch here in Port Said to handle various related matters. Business.
As the largest and most powerful trading house in the Ming Dynasty, Tianjin Ocean Trading Company naturally set up an office in Port Said.
A five-story building, all built with reinforced concrete structures, and all decorations are in the Ming Dynasty style. Under the sunlight, the glass of the building's windows shines with dazzling light.
The gold signboard of Tianjin Ocean Trading House is easy to see at a glance, and you know who this majestic building belongs to.
Zhang Wenyun is the person in charge of Tianjin Ocean Trading Company in Port Said. At this time, he is meeting with Parker, a businessman from France, in the living room.
"Mr. Zhang, do you have everything we need here?"
Parker took a sip of tea and tasted this magical oriental leaf. Tea drinking had already become popular in the French upper class. As an important minister of King Louis XII of France, Parker had naturally developed the habit of drinking tea.
"Well, this good tea is indeed in the hands of the Ming people themselves. What kind of tea is exported to Europe?"
In his heart, Parker also sighed. Every time he comes to Port Said, the tea he drinks here is better than the one at home.
"Mr. Parker, I have all the goods you want here."
Zhang Wenyun carefully looked at the list handed over by Parker.
Muskets, cannons, swords, armor, bows, arrows, gunpowder, medicines, etc., are in huge quantities and are a big list.
¡°Obviously, now the French are really going to fight with the Spanish. 强牺 zhuiyo.com 读牺
Feeling that he had been humiliated, Louis XII was ready to take out his underwear and press him up. He would never give up until he had a good fight with the Spaniards.
"Very good!"
"I have long heard that your Tianjin Ocean Trading Company is the most powerful, and is also the arms dealer of the Ming Dynasty government. It is indeed well-deserved."
When Parker heard this, he immediately laughed.
The quantity required this time is very large, 30,000 muskets alone, plus 200 Miyun cannons, and the others are even larger.
He was originally worried that Tianjin Ocean Trading Company would not have enough goods, but now it seems that hesp; But the whole world is in full swing, but no one dares to provoke the people of Ming Dynasty to come and see. This people of Ming Dynasty must be hiding a lot of good things.
¡°Of course it¡¯s true~¡±
Zhang Wenyun turned around with a smile and quickly sent Parker away.
As soon as Parker was sent away, Zhang Wenyun came to the warehouse of Tianjin Ocean Trading Company in Port Said.
¡°I saw dozens of warehouses, large and small, all filled with arms and weapons, including guns and ammunition, muskets, cannons, swords, armor, crossbows, arrows, military uniforms, military boots, etc., all available.
And the quantity is very large, there are thousands of cannons alone, and more than 100,000 muskets. They are all of the same color. They have just been produced not too long ago, and the oil paper wrapped in them is still new.

"After shipping the goods to these three major customers, the remaining goods here are not too big. I will send a telegram to the country and ask them to replenish a batch of goods."
"The war is in full swing now. We will need a lot of arms and weapons later. We must fill up these warehouses. We will take advantage of this opportunity to make a profit. When they are finished, our arms and weapons will have no sales. ¡±
