"Steve, show me how much this thing is worth, do you still want to do business? You are not active at all." A vigorous young man slapped hard in front of the door of an old **** shop doorway.

"Why is it you Kaijie again? The national treasure of the Siam Kingdom you brought last time was just exchanged for 10,000 Dutch guilders (400 pounds), and it ran out so quickly. It seems that it has been less than a week. You are spending too much. big"

The 50-year-old owner of the shop, Steve, seemed to be advising him, but he was actually very happy, because only in this way would he drive the people in front of him to find more rare treasures to sell pawns here. In this way, his business will be better.

"What will it be this time? Looking at the little guy's confident and big expression, the contraction should not be small, right?"

"Look, this is an aboriginal inheritance treasure that got opinions from the aborigines in Australia. It is said that its years are more than 10,000 years old, and it is the keepsake of their chiefs, which is invaluable."

"Show me." The boss checked confidently, and as his eyes fell on the token, he never left, because there was an oval, billiard ball-like object that was like a stone and transparent like amber. , but it is full of various patterns. It is not like it was just engraved, but it is like a recording of the life of primitive people. It is lifelike and desirable.

"How about it, as I said, it's good, I tell you, if it's too low, I won't sell it to you, because this time I raise enough funds, I will develop and settle in Australia"

The boss woke up after hearing the words, frowned and just wanted to express his dissatisfaction with the other party's deliberate threat to make a price, but in the end he held back, because when his eyes returned to the thing in his hand again, he found that he was reluctant to put it go back.

So he softened his tone: "20,000 guilders (£800

"It's too few. It is said that the local people in Europe are very fond of oriental silk ceramics and the like. I am going to open a store with the national characteristic products of these oriental countries, so as to live a stable life"

"Why are you always in Australia, this part of Australia is too desolate, go there, you think it's better than here, who said to go to the north, we will go to southern Australia"

"South, isn't that British territory?"

"I said boss, didn't you read today's newspaper?"

"Reading the newspaper? What's so good about it? Every day, some people express their opinions on it. What is the concept of governing the country, but the real implementation is too far from reality. Only we are brainwashed by ourselves. It's just troubles, if you have time, why not accompany my grandson and granddaughter?" The boss curled his lips and said in disdain.

Kaijie, however, took out today's newspaper from his pocket. After unfolding it, he turned towards the boss, pointed at the headline, and said, "No, boss, there may be news you want."

The boss was puzzled, he put his eyes down on the position his finger pointed, just a glance, and he was attracted, Kaijie seemed to have expected the result long ago, and said: "How about it, boss, hurry up and read it, wait for you. I want to go back and play with my grandson."

The boss read the newspaper twice in a row, and then put it down abruptly, "Of course, my grandson and granddaughter are very obedient at his grandma, Kaijie, why don't you tell me what you think, don't waste your time, I think it's 50,000 guilders (£3,200) for you, I'm willing to pay another 50,000 guilders, how about a 50-50 split, how about we go south to Australia, I think Sydney is good"

Kaijie's heart moved, but he pretended to be concerned and asked: "But this way, the distance between you and your grandson will be a little farther. If it affects your grandson's love, I will feel guilty."

The boss, Steve, didn't care: "Kaijie, you know me, I can put down everything else than making money, and you know, I'm very familiar with the business of reselling. , when the time comes, you will be in charge of getting the goods, and I will be in charge of reselling them. The cooperation between the two will be seamless, are you interested in cooperating?"

Kaijie seemed to be convinced in the end, so he nodded and said: "It's a pleasure to cooperate, but Steve, you have to hurry up, I'm going to go south in three days, it is said that the land there is very cheap, I'm going to enclose the land first. Hoard the land, and even if the business fails, you will be able to live without worry."

In the native Amsterdam, Rotterdam, etc., many people are also partying at the dock, preparing to board the ship and relocate to Australia.

The Britons in Australia are also lining up at the wharf, preparing to leave Australia and relocate to New Zealand and South Africa.

In short, this may be the first large-scale migration in the world, and it is basically carried out in the Indian Ocean and South Pacific in the southern hemisphere.

Many future historians, because of their different positions, praised and criticized the migration coordinated by the two governments, but it is undeniable that this migration, for the Netherlands, is the beginning of the road to a strong country, and it is also The first step for the Netherlands to become a global power, and even many people believe that it is more stable and smarter than Prussia's establishment of a global power in the Third World War. It also minimizes the population loss of the Netherlands. It is the rise of a global power. best example.

"Bastard, what did William IV want to do, and he secretly reached an agreement with the British." Napoleon III was annoyed, and smashed the teacup in his hand to the hard ground, and instantly shattered into many pieces.

Olivier shuddered and lowered his head 20 degrees.

"No~ www.mtlnovel.com~ Since the Netherlands has completed the first year of the first year of the new year, our French Empire will naturally have to do the fifteenth, Olivier, please prepare, I don't want to see the Dutch colonies in central Africa being too peaceful, which makes people Keep the Netherlands busy. Otherwise, they think they are too quiet."

Olivier nodded and replied: "Yes"

...

"Prime Minister, it seems that the Netherlands has been too comfortable recently, and even thinks that it has reached a private settlement with the UK alone without saying a word to us. This is a kind of contempt for us. It seems that we have to teach them a lesson. ."

William I said harshly.

"But Your Majesty, now King Frederick VII of Denmark is visiting the Netherlands. If we act too aggressively, be careful that William IV of the Netherlands, who is familiar with our next action, will therefore choose to stand on the side of the Netherlands, then we can It's not worth the loss."

"But we can't make the Netherlands too comfortable," William I complained.

"Naturally, hasn't the Netherlands been thinking about Greece recently? Since they want it, then we are making the Netherlands a little bit more painful, even though we promised them to support William III."
