This pirate land is big

Chapter 5: Sailing the boat into Wenge Harbor at night

When reading the news from the newspaper, it is best not to add any extravagance or jealousy. The original news is not true, and it will be even more difficult to distinguish after secondary processing.

Su Mei's meal was considered luxurious. Even if he didn't consider his "goods" and relied on the money found from the pirate captain, it would be enough for his personal life for a long time.The total cost of this meal was 2 shillings and 5 pence. If calculated in this way, the ship entry fee he paid would be enough to feed him for a month.

Having said that, Su Mei didn't want to cover the sailing ship and the pirate slaves on board, because he didn't care about the life and death of those people at all. Although they could barely survive at this stage, they would not be able to survive in another two or three days. God, there must be someone who can't hold it any longer.As a person who sells goods, Su Mei definitely doesn't want her goods to be lost for no reason.

So after leaving the restaurant, he immediately started looking for buyers. After wandering around on the street for more than half an hour, he finally found a trading house, which covered everything from sailing ships, bulk goods to daily necessities. The trading methods There are customization, leasing, buying and selling, etc.

After confirming the business scope here, Su Mei walked in directly.

Because Su Mei had just walked out of the island, he was not well-dressed at this time. Although he walked like a tiger and looked quite imposing, a closer look revealed that he had a look that belonged to a poor man. Temperament, so when he arrived at the trading house, someone tried to scold him on the spot and seemed to want to drive him out directly.

Fortunately, someone was the first to push away the unsightly salesman and quickly came forward to greet him enthusiastically.

"I am Grand, the manager of this trading house. Is there anything you need help with?"

The manager had a round and naive face. He seemed friendly and his attitude seemed to be very good. Su Mei said, "I have a ship and a batch of goods that I want to sell. I wonder if it can be traded here?"

"Of course, there is nothing wrong with the ship. Different specifications have different prices, and the prices are relatively transparent. As for the goods... may I ask what kind of goods the customer has? As long as the price is right, we can trade. Oh, please come here to discuss in detail."

The manager led Su Mei to a nearby reception room, and then invited him to sit down for discussion.

"The ship is a medium-sized ketch, almost brand new, with 18 small cannons. The cargo is slaves of 'innocent' origins with no questions about their identities. There are about 50 of them, all strong men who can be trained to death."

"Slave..." Manager Ge seemed very interested, "Can I see the goods?"

"of course can."

The cargo watcher, Su Mei, did not need to be accompanied. He just stated the berth number, and the trading house immediately arranged for someone to watch the ship and people.

This place is very close to the dock. After a while, the person who inspected the goods came back and brought back an investigation report.

The manager took a folder handed over by the man and asked Su Mei while flipping through it: "I don't know the specific origin of the guest's so-called innocent slave?"

"No one will pursue them, because not long ago they were a group of pirates who liked to plunder in remote sea areas. They were all young pirates with no bounties on their heads."

This explanation made the manager understand instantly. He took a deep look at Su Mei and knew that since the slave was once a pirate, the ship must have been a pirate ship.

"We have seen the ship. It is in very good condition and is considered 300% new. However, the Caravel ship is no longer popular. The ship is not big, about 900 tons... To estimate, the price we can pay is [-] pounds."

"The slaves are in good health, but they are temporarily weak and need to be nourished... Since the quality is good, we will give 2 pounds more than ordinary slaves, 12 pounds each, for a total of 48 people. We will calculate it as 50 and give 600 pounds. The two add up to a total of 1500 pounds, what do the guests think?"

Su Mei pondered for a while and felt that the price was a bit small, but it was still within a reasonable range. Considering his status as a foreigner and a country bumpkin, the other party's offer was even considered a conscientious one.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the manager added: "We will sell the slaves to Tajira Wolf, and the profit is not high... Let's do this. Our trading house will be responsible for all local taxes and fees on this transaction. You just need to worry about it." How about collecting money?"

This meant that Su Mei didn't have to be tricked a second time, so he said, "Deal, but I only want gold coins."

"Gold coins... no problem."

Then he seemed to suddenly remember something, so he said: "By the way, if you are willing to accept Berry, the price can be increased a little more."

"Berry from the World Government? How much is the bid and how to convert it?"

"One pound is worth 4 berries, and 1500 pounds equals 6000 million berries."

Su Mei smiled: "No need, I am from the countryside, and I still think gold coins have more weight."

This person really thinks he is a country bumpkin who has never seen the world. One exchange for 1. Isn’t this the “official” exchange rate?Given a pile of gold coins and a pile of waste paper, of course he chose the gold coins.

"Well, all Donghai people prefer gold coins."

After they brought the gold coins, Su Mei finished counting them after a while. He casually put the gold coins into a cloth bag, exchanged a few words with the merchants here, then turned around and left with the bag on his back.

It’s just over 20 kilograms, so this weight is nothing.

I can only say that it’s no wonder so many people become pirates. It’s really fast to make money by “juggling”.In fact, boats are okay, after all, there are construction costs and time, and the number of boats floating on the sea is also limited, but people are different... Selling "Black Uncle" is a huge profit, and Su Mei even sold the pirates to Wenge , Wen Ge then sold it to other places. This can be regarded as "triangular trade".

With just such a small contribution, Su Mei would become a millionaire. If he had done a few more votes, he would be able to reserve the most beautiful street lamp at the best intersection.

After Su Mei left the trading house, Manager Ge Lang immediately stopped the smile on his face, and his whole face became a little gloomy. He called one of his subordinates over from behind and whispered something in the other person's ear.

"Ah? Didn't you just say that our trading bank will be responsible for this matter?"

"Stop talking nonsense and report it to the port immediately...let people keep an eye on this kid and don't let him escape. That's our money."

"Clear, understand."

Even if I made a deal with you and accepted the goods you had in hand, I still have to pay you?Let you win and redeem your prize?Why are you taking all the good things?

Just kidding, how could a country bumpkin take away 1600 gold coins so easily? There really are so many opportunities to get rich overnight in the world.
