C1879 Two or twenty? (1/2)
CHAPTER 1879 - TWO OR TWENTY?
This chaos was truly caused by Wang Chen. Just as the first batch of Chinese soldier s climbed onto the dock, this group of soldiers with unique temperaments immediately attracted the attention of the locals.
Xiao Letian had always believed in the elite army, and the Chinese Army had always had a very high elimination rate. There were soldiers who came out of the ranks of the New barracks almost every day, and the soldiers who had passed through layers upon layers of strict selection were waiting for the best equipment and the best treatment in the world.
All of them were wearing top military goods. Even the lowest rank of recruits would receive three silver coins a month. As for food, he didn't care about the cost at all.
Soldiers who had been raised by the elite force policy were born with a unique temperament, attracting the attention of countless aboriginals the moment they appeared on the docks.
The shrewd merchants would observe all the clothing worn by the soldiers, such as the type of boots, the type of tobacco they smoked, the kind of pocket watch that occasionally showed through the pockets of their uniforms, and even the level of their buttons.
What was even more surprising to the natives was that even though they were all a bunch of yellow-skinned faces, they had the confidence and temperament of British soldiers, and the aura they exuded was even stronger.
They were a group of wealthy old men, and it was definitely right to look for them to do business. Very soon, everyone on the dock realized this point. The bold peddler began to peddle his goods in broken English.
There was still no trouble in buying some wine, eating some fruits and local produce, and it was only when a gem merchant came to's side that a big conflict broke out.
That was the female principal he saw in the Kalimantan Island. After that unsuccessful confession, not only was Wang Chen not discouraged, he was even more filled with the will to fight. He swore that he would catch up to her in his entire life.
One of the main reasons for coming ashore this time was to choose a present for his girlfriend. When the multi-colored gems were presented in front of him, he confirmed that this was the best gift for a woman.
Before Wang Chen got off the boat, he did not exchange his money for much sterling, but only exchanged it for a dozen or so pennies. He never expected himself to spend so much money to sell such expensive goods.
He took out a Dragon-striated Silver Coin and asked the peddler if he wanted the money. However, he did not expect that the powerful Chinese merchants of Nan Yang had already brought their business here. All the merchants of Jia Le region knew about this exquisite silver coin, and they all nodded in agreement.
After carefully selecting his items, Wang Chen had taken a fancy to the beautiful sapphire stone.
”Ai …” ”The problem lied in the price. Both of us had poor English and both of us had a weird accent. We didn't have any translators around us, so we could only rely on competing …”
Wang Chen laughed bitterly: ”When the other party extended four fingers, how could I fall for that trap? In the end, that guy definitely disagreed. He shook his head just like a rattle drum … ”
”My attitude is also firm. I turned my head around and was about to leave, but he became scared and directly turned into three fingers …”
Wang Chen tilted his head and said in a very natural tone, ”I, Wang Chen, am also someone who has seen the world, you want to kill me? F * ck, no way … I directly pulled back one of his three fingers, hehehe … It's so painful that he has to grit his teeth! ”
”That's all I said, that's all. Do you want it? If you don't want this grandpa, then I will leave … ”Look at how domineering you are!”
