Pirate Emotional System

Chapter 137 Buying a Boat

In the southwest dock of Gula Kingdom, Du En was walking around, looking at the tall ships displayed in a row like merchandise. Of the several sea ships originally purchased by the Penguin Society, the only one left was for Raymond's use. As for the previous ships that brought Dune and the Andians back to the Kingdom of Gula, they were only temporarily rented from the shipyard.

So Du En decided to buy another one.

Having said that, the newspaper's funds for activities are now running low. Some of the funds were taken to Beihai, part of them were allocated to Wesley, and some were reserved for the development plan of the East Poster Press.

At present, the newspaper is already making a profit, but the scale is not large and the funds are not recovered quickly. If such an expenditure continues, the plan to establish a branch in Donghai may be postponed.

The owner of the dock followed, holding a notebook in his hand, "Mr. Duen, here are new ships built by shipwrights, over there are old ships converted from pirate ships, and there are also old ships sold by some merchants after their retirement. The relative price of the boat is definitely much cheaper than that of a new boat, but the interior decoration and exterior styling may not be as satisfactory.”

"Boss, I heard that you are from the Capital of Seven Waters?" Du En was not in a hurry and just took a look.

"Yes, the capital of seven waters!"

When he mentioned the Capital of Seven Waters, the boss couldn't help but show a proud look on his face. Although he looked to be 70 or [-] years old, with gray hair and wrinkles on his face, he smiled as happily as a teenager, "Capital of Seven Waters" Our boatmen are famous all over the world, who doesn’t know? Being from the Capital of Seven Waters has always been my pride!”

"Did the boss come to this country alone?"

"That's not true. I have a younger brother, but he is introverted and usually taciturn. I usually leave all business matters to me. He is only responsible for building, repairing and dismantling ships. We two brothers are still in this country. Having four or five apprentices can be regarded as passing on the skill of shipbuilding."

"Accepting a disciple? Don't you two brothers have any children?"

"On weekdays, I only think about building ships. I don't have time to do that kind of thing. It's boring." The shipyard owner waved his hand. When he mentioned this, he seemed very uninterested. Rather than saying that he was bored, he felt a little lonely.

Du En thought about it and said: "To be honest, I plan to go to the Capital of Seven Waters this time."

"You're going to the Capital of Seven Waters?!" The dock owner was suddenly startled.

"Yes." Du En said, "I have found a permanent pointer and am ready to go."

"That's it, that's really great." The dock owner put the notebook under his arm and rubbed his hands excitedly, "Mr. Doone, can you bring a letter back for me?"

"It seems that the boss still has his family in the Seven Waters Capital?" Du En smiled.

"I'm not talking about family." The dock owner said with a wry smile, "It's a friend."

"Looking at the boss's appearance, there seems to be something hidden here."

"It's not a hidden secret," said the dock owner. "The truth is that he is a childhood sweetheart of mine who I haven't seen for a long time, so I wanted to express my feelings through the letter."

"You are already six or seventy years old, are you still your childhood sweetheart?" Du En said with a smile.

"Negative sentiment value from Cody +111..."

Cody, the owner of the shipyard, looked very embarrassed, but said firmly, "Why not? She and I grew up together. Can't we be considered childhood sweethearts?"

"Then your childhood sweetheart is now married and has children, right?"

"Negative sentiment value from Cody +111..."

Cody looked slightly livid and stammered, "I, I, don't know."

At this time, another man walked out of the dock. At first glance, he looked exactly the same as Cody in appearance and age, but his voice was colder and deeper. He pointed at Cody with the boat wedge in his hand, "You old guy." , you actually asked someone to deliver the letter, have you forgotten the agreement between us!"

Cody looked at his twin brother and said with a strange expression, "Eddie, did you hear everything?"

Eddie's face was cold: "I just heard it accidentally." He looked at Du En, "In that case, can this gentleman also send me a letter?"

Du En said: "Could it be that the person you are sending the message to is the same person?"

The two brothers looked at each other, Eddie turned away, and Cody stroked his beard, coughed, and explained.

After listening to the explanation, Du En understood the situation.

It turns out that the two people had the same interests since childhood. Not only did they like boat building, but they also liked a girl they grew up with. However, the two young and energetic brothers had conflicts with each other. It was like a duel between cowboys in the West. Who decided to try? The shipbuilding technology is superior, and no one can talk to the girl until the winner is decided.

Their test method is very simple. Each of them builds a small boat. Whoever builds a boat that sails farther on the sea will win.

After they built their own boats, they started racing in their boats. Unexpectedly, after sailing for a day on the sea, a sudden storm destroyed both their boats. The two brothers were lucky enough to be killed by a boat. The sailors of the merchant ship fished it out and followed the merchant ship to this country.

Because the two of them never decided the winner and neither of them wanted to admit defeat and go back, they stayed in this country for decades.

Du En touched his chin: "Then which one of you has the better shipbuilding skills?"

"It's the old man."

"it's me."

The two of them rushed out of the way almost at the same time and stared at each other while blowing their beards.

Du En only felt funny and shook his head, "You have such an agreement, so writing a letter is probably a breach of contract, right?"

The two brothers looked at each other again, like deflated rubber balls, and Cody said quickly, "Our original agreement only said that we couldn't talk to each other, but we didn't say that we couldn't write letters."

"Yes, that's right." Eddie said calmly.

Du En thought about it and said, "Why don't you two write the letter first, and I'll pick it up here first."

"Mr. Dun, wait a minute, I'll be right back!" Cody ran away quickly, and Eddie immediately chased after him.

Less than a while later, the two of them rushed back while shouting "Oh, my old waist".

"Has it been written so quickly?" Du En was slightly startled.

Cody panted and said: "This was written in advance...I also asked caravans to deliver it several times in the early years, but there was no news. I guess those caravans were unreliable..."

Before he could finish his words, Eddie interrupted angrily, "You old guy, you actually wrote to Alice without telling me!"

"What do you mean, I'm your brother!" Cody said, "Don't think I don't know. You also secretly asked someone to send a letter to Alice."

"You old guy actually investigated me!"

"I am your brother!"

The two quarreled again, and were interrupted ruthlessly by Du En, "Wait, I didn't say I wanted to send you a message, right?"

As soon as Du En said this, the two people stopped arguing instantly. Cody quickly smiled and said: "Mr. Du En, you are the president of Penguin Newspaper. You must be reliable in your work, so I trust you more than others. Of course, I also Your efforts cannot be in vain, so no matter which ship you choose, just ask, I will give you a [-]% discount!"

"Who said they are yours? Half of the boats here are built by me!" Eddie also said, "Mr. Duane, I have a share of these boats. If you look at them, I will give you a [-]% discount. As long as you are willing to help me deliver the message, don't help that old guy."

"Why don't you help me? I'm your brother!" Cody glared at his twin brother, "Have you never heard that an elder brother is like a father?"

"Bah! You old guy, don't even think about taking advantage of me. You are my father, and I can no longer be my own uncle!"

The two little old men were talking and talking, and they were about to fight.Du En stood aside and watched with relish.However, he still didn't make a move.

Cody looked at Du En angrily: "Mr. Du En, why don't you persuade us two?"

"It's great to have a good fight. You can stretch your muscles and bones. Don't act like an old man, sluggish."

"Negative sentiment value from Cody +155..."

"The negative emotion value from Eddie is +145..."

The faces of the two people couldn't help but darken. Are they watching the fun like this?Forget it if he doesn't help and persuade us, but he encourages us to fight. If we really fight, instead of stretching our muscles and bones, we will break our muscles and bones!

Cody coughed lightly and had no choice but to bring the topic back, "Mr. Dun, please choose a suitable boat. We can easily discuss the price, as long as you are willing to help me deliver this letter."

Du En made a decision, "Let's do this. I won't take advantage of you. Let's discount the price of the ship at [-]%. I'll help you deliver both letters."

"Two percent off?" The faces of the two brothers suddenly turned very dark.

"Negative sentiment value from Cody +144..."

"The negative emotion value from Eddie is +134..."
