I'm a trainee crew on a pirate ship [West Fantasy]

Luo Zhi originally wanted to check the city lord's mansion, but he gave up again considering that there might be someone with special abilities in the city lord's mansion.

Luo Zhi went to the trading house to sell several antique items he got from Samuel Sterling, and sold more than 2000 gold coins to fill the vault.

Back at the hotel, Luo Zhi asked the waiter on the first floor if his companion had checked out, and learned that other people had checked out, only himself, the captain, and Lun hadn't.

Len is efficient.

The captain said that he would trade with the locals tonight, and he had other business to discuss, so he probably didn't come back, and Luo Zhi was fine, so he didn't knock on the captain's door.

Thinking of business, Luo Zhi thought of another question, how did he get in touch with Derek Brown and how to cooperate with him?

You can't just come to someone to talk about cooperation, and Derek Brown doesn't believe in ice priests, otherwise, you can use the magic stick method to deter and lure him.

After much deliberation, Luo Zhi could only think of one way, and there was only one person who could do it, and that was his butler, Michael Hardy.

Michael used to be an aristocratic butler, and he should know many butlers in Seglinde City, and he has some channels of his own.

Luo Zhi intends to let Michael convey his needs to Derek through Derek's butler Benson, not directly as a gesture of asking for cooperation, but a casual sentence from Michael in front of his peers to remind the other party.

This kind of thing, Michael should be able to handle it very well.

In the case of a serious lack of money, Derek should not let go of the opportunity when encountering a business without risk.

Worried that Michael would leave home early in the morning and it would be difficult to find him, Luo Zhi went to bed early and planned to get up early.

Early the next morning, Luo Zhi showed up at Michael's house.

Luo Zhi said directly to Michael: "There is a seafood merchant named Derek Brown in the San Vatican District. He has a butler named Benson. Can you disclose the news that 'a foreign merchant is looking for cooperation with a local merchant' to Benson?"

Knowing the purpose of the master's visit, Michael said relaxedly: "No problem, sir, I know Mr. Benson, we once applied for a master together, and I know his master's address."

After accepting the task, Michael thought about it and told Luo: "Sir, what kind of business do you want to do with Mr. Derek?"

Luo Zhi said without hesitation: "Spices, materials for making spices, finished products, as long as they can be sold, they are all fine."

After confirmation, Michael said: "Sir, since we took the initiative, I think we can be more frank. I will take the initiative to tell Mr. Benson about your business, and Benson will convey the news to his master. Do you want to do this?" It's a business, let's see how Mr. Derek decides."

"Well, how are you going to tell Benson?" Luo Zhi thinks it makes sense after thinking about it, but he needs to know how Michael will speak, so don't look too deliberate.

Without thinking, Michael replied, "I'll say this to Benson..."

"'My new employer wants to bring a batch of goods back to the outside world. Yes, my employer is from the New Civilization Continent. He is in the business of spice materials and finished products. He is looking for local merchants to cooperate with. The employer asked me if I knew any merchants. I met a few acquaintances, and then I found that the 'Purple Butterfly' manor that Mr. just bought seems to be purchased from your master, so I think I can tell you about this, I wonder if your master is right My master's business is interested in'..."

Michael looked at Luo Zhi and seemed to be asking: How is it?

Benson would not doubt why Michael suddenly wrote him a letter. The butler also has contacts and knows many people in the circle.

Luo Zhi thinks there is no problem: "Very well, I hope that before Derek extends a friendly hand to us, I can hire excellent employees. You go to the bar in St. bit."

McElwain replied respectfully: "Yes, sir."

Luo Zhi's questions were not over: "If I want to buy at least one thousand acres of land in the abandoned tower area of ​​the northern district, who should I contact? How much will it cost?"

Michael's eyes flickered brightly, but there was no obvious reaction. He said honestly: "The land in the northern area belongs to the island owner. You have to go to the city owner's mansion to deal with it. I don't know the price."

"Okay," Luo Zhi said briskly, "Before you go to find Mandel, you should first go to the City Lord's Mansion to buy land, the area north of the abandoned tower in the northern district, and the buyer's name is 'Kakazhi'."

When outsiders buy houses and land locally, the official setting is not strict, as long as they can afford it, they can buy it, but some of the handling fees will be a bit expensive, which is the price that outsiders must pay.

After the purchase, the seller will give the buyer a certificate, which has magical properties, waterproof and fireproof, and both parties have it.

"Give up if the price exceeds 5000 gold coins." Luo Zhi added.

He took out a large bag of gold coins from the space bracelet and put it at his feet, "Jiang~" There was a crisp sound of metal colliding with each other.

There are 5000 gold coins in it, which is quite heavy.

Michael glanced at the bag, and didn't ask why the owner bought the land under another name, but said, "Okay, sir."

Then, Luo Zhi took out a pure red envelope and put it in front of Michael: "This is a custom in my hometown. Red often appears when giving gifts, representing good meanings such as blessing, prosperity, and celebration. I have worked hard these few days. is you."

Michael has no assistants and runs around alone. Those who are capable work harder and get more rewards. Luo Zhi never hesitates to reward those who are capable.

Michael hurriedly thanked him respectfully: "Sir, I will always remember your generosity."

After sending Luo Zhi away, Michael picked up the red envelope, and there was the sound of metal colliding inside, he poured it out, "will~" five dark golden items danced on the table.

The reward included two and a half months of his salary.

Michael smiled with satisfaction. Sure enough, the outside boss was rich and generous.

Putting away the money and putting it in a deposit box, Michael sat behind the desk, brought a blank paper, picked up a quill, and began to write a letter:

"Dear Benson..."

After writing the letter, he called the messenger boy and asked someone to deliver the letter to the San Vatican District.

Then, Michael went out and went to a bar to post the task of recruiting workshop administrators.

Then, Michael took the car to the city lord's mansion.

Luo Zhi wandered around the North District, checking the situation around the area he wanted to buy.

After one o'clock in the afternoon, Luo Zhi saw Michael coming to the North District, followed by several municipal officials, who divided the land and marked out the land that Luo Zhi bought.

It was busy until the sun was in the west, and the municipal personnel left, and the area they divided was already surrounded by many people, who were curious about what to do here.

Michael looked at the time, did not rest, and went to Mandel again.

Mandel had obtained the oracle long ago and had been waiting for a long time. He was not surprised by this. He said to Michael: "This is the guidance of the gods. Thank you, Mr. Hardy, for giving us the opportunity to get rid of hunger and cold..."

"Thank you and praise you, Ice Priest."

Ice Priest?Michael is not surprised, there are many hidden and unknown existences in the primitive continent.

Michael talked with Mandel about the number of people hired, and finally, Michael said: "After you recruit people, take them to clean up the abandoned tower, which has been bought by my master. I expelled some people before, and they will inevitably have dissatisfied."

"I understand." Mandel knew the people in this area.

Michael nodded slightly: "I hope that the garbage in that area can be cleaned up quickly. The owner hopes to use the land as soon as possible, so that employees can be recruited quickly."

"No problem, I will recruit people immediately, and I will recruit people soon, and I can start work tomorrow." Mandel is very motivated, as long as there is work, it is easy to recruit people.

After a pause, he asked boldly, "Mr. Michael, is your master Mr. Kakazhi?"

Michael nodded: "Yes."

Mandel smiled: "Praise the ice priest."

Michael followed suit: "Praise the gods."

Michael took out 5 gold coins to Mandel: "The salary of 100 people is 10 copper coins a day, and you are one silver coin a day."

The daily salary of temporary workers for the poor is generally 5 or 6 copper coins, which is much better than that offered by other bosses.

Luo Zhi felt that it was still less, but he should not raise his salary any more, as it would be bad for him to give too much.

Mandel took the gold coin with a smile on his face: "Thank you Mr. Kakazhi, thank you Mr. Michael, I will take good care of it."

He said he would keep them safe, saying that he would not embezzle them privately, and he couldn't guarantee how long it would take to clean them up, so he usually gave more money and returned the rest.

Next, Mandel and Michael recruited employees on Hongta Street, and they quickly recruited people. As long as they said recruitment, a group of people would automatically rush over.Seeing that it was getting dark, Michael told Mandel to go home.

Back home, Michael, who was tired all day, heard from his wife that a letter had arrived, and it was a letter from Benson.

After dinner, Michael was resting leisurely with a cigarette when a guest came.

Second floor, study.

Michael returned a bag of money to Luo Zhi: "Sir, the land has been bought. There are a thousand acres of land around Hongta District. The land costs 3000 gold coins, and one mu is 3 gold coins. Because it is the land in the city, it is more expensive, plus 500 gold coins for the handling fee." , there are still 1500 gold coins left, of the 100 gold coins you gave me yesterday, there are still 86 gold coins left."

Luo Zhi’s activity expenses for Michael can be reimbursed for Michael’s meal expenses when working outside, carriage fare, and temporary hires to run errands and the like.

Michael also took out the 5 gold coins given to Mandel from here. Michael obeyed the rules and did not abuse them.

Seeing that there was so much money left, Luo Zhi was pleasantly surprised, unexpectedly, he thought it would cost more, and his manor is also so big, he spent thousands of gold coins, because there are still valuable spices in the manor, which he bought That area included the abandoned tower, and the city lord didn't add money.

After putting the money into the space bracelet, Luo Zhi said to Michael: "I have already met the applicant and signed him. His name is Emerson Keton. He has management experience. I will ask him to go to the North District tomorrow. You, meet at the free classroom on Hongta Street at 9 o'clock, and I will be there when the time comes."

Luo Zhi didn't hang around today, he wanted to come in person to recruit employees.

Michael replied, "I'll be on time, sir."

After a pause, Michael asked, "Do you know the Ice Priest, sir?"

Mandel, who believed in the "Ice Priest", knew Luo Zhi, and Michael saw that Luo Zhi wanted to train Mandel.

Luo Zhi said calmly: "Yes, you can also pray to him. He is the god of the sea, whose purpose is to protect the ocean..."

"His prayer is 'the god of luck from the deep sea; the master of the ice and snow kingdom; the supervisor of the order of the sea; the protector of marine life'."

Michael didn't care about his master preaching to him. This kind of thing is very common. He said, "I will consider it."

He believed in Fengshen, so it would not be a problem if he changed his faith, and Fengshen would not pay attention to him.

After the master had finished speaking, Michael showed Benson's letter to the employer: "Sir, good news, Mr. Derek wants to meet with Mr. He has reserved a room in a bar in San Vatican."

Luo Zhi read the letter and said with a smile, "Very good."

The next day, North District.

Luo Zhi came to the free classroom in the North District before nine o'clock. This is the classroom that Mandel converted from the former ceremony room. This time is not the class time, and it looks empty and quiet.

The free classroom is quite famous in the North District, because you can learn knowledge without spending money, so there are quite a lot of people who come, and the three teachers feel the pressure. This really requires patience, because the qualifications and foundation of the students are too high. Miscellaneous.

Luo Zhi arrived first, and after a short wait, Mandel came.

Mandel got up early in the morning to summon the people hired yesterday to clean up the abandoned tower, and then came over.

Then came Emerson, and finally Michael.

Michael said generously: "Good morning, gentlemen, my name is Michael Hardy, and I am Mr. Kakazhi's manor housekeeper."

Emerson continued: "My name is Emerson Keton. I have experience in workshop management. I hope I can help Mr. Kakazhi."

He implicitly introduced his position.

"My name is Mandel Guze...I live here." Mandel finally said.

Last night, Mr. Kakazhi asked him to come here for a meeting today. He didn’t know his specific position yet. Now that Mr. Kakazhi is here, Mandel felt that Mr. Kakazhi would make arrangements.

After everyone got acquainted, Luo Zhi began to talk about the things and arrangements to be done in the future: "You all probably understand, I bought a piece of land near here, and there is nothing there now, what we have to do is to let that land produce You are the producers of all kinds of valuable things."

Looking at the faces of the employees, Luo Zhi continued: "After the land is cleared, we will build a workshop there, Emerson, you can find a professional architect to build two workshops, and then go to understand the applicable For the tools for producing spices, you sorted out a list for me."

Aimer felt a heavy responsibility, and he replied with a happy face and a serious face: "Yes, sir."

Participating in the construction from scratch, he likes the sense of creation from scratch. What is important is that he grows with the company, and he will become the most senior employee in the future, and his position will also increase accordingly.

Moreover, the boss is an outsider, generous, high salary, weekly salary 15 silver coins, annual salary 36 gold coins, he has already received a year's salary advanced by the boss, and a year-end bonus of 5 gold coins, a total of 41 gold coins.

Emerson is glad that he decisively got rid of the rotten former company and got this opportunity.

Luo Zhi looked at Mandel: "Mandel, you assist Emerson's work."

The main leaders of the workshop are Emerson and Mandel.

Luo Zhi looked at Michael and Emerson: "I will not be in Seigrind City in the future, and I will notify you through Mandel. It will be in the form of a document with a magic symbol on it. The document with this symbol is my order."

Luo Zhi took out a piece of paper with his ice priest's symbol on it.

Everyone looked at the symbol carefully, and Michael saw that it was ice and snow: "Ice Priest?"

Emerson glanced at Michael, then looked at Luo Zhi suspiciously.

Luo Zhi nodded: "Yes."

Then, Luo Zhi talked to Emerson about the construction of the workshop, and gave him a sum of money, 1000 gold coins.

After ten o'clock, Luo Zhi and Michael went to the San Vatican District, and each got busy.

Derek Brownyo's location is the "Queen's Bar". Only rich people come here. Rent a room for 3 gold coins a day, provide free drinks, two meals, and no restrictions on snacks and drinks.

Luo Zhi and Michael came to the door of Room 5 and knocked on the door.

Soon, the door opened, and the person who opened the door was a man with a straight body and nearly 50 years old, with chestnut hair and brown eyes.

"Welcome, both of you, please come in." Benson remained expressionless and respectful.

Luo Zhi and Michael went in and saw a man with blond hair and blue eyes standing up.

Luo Zhi knew them all, he had seen them in the "Magic Mirror", the owner Derek Brown, and the housekeeper Benson.

Michael was the first to introduce: "It's been a long time, Mr. Brown, this is Mr. Kakazhi."

Derek looked at Luo Zhi and saw that he didn't take off his hat, only showing a good-looking face. He subconsciously felt that the other party was impolite, and then thought that the other party should be a wizard, and the other party was an outsider, so he didn't care about it now.

He smiled and said, "Please sit down, Mr. Kakazhi. My name is Derek Brown. It's nice to meet you. I really didn't expect that I could meet outsiders."

Seeing that the other party had a little dissatisfaction with him, Luo Zhi didn't care, and sat down generously: "Mr. Brown, I'm really sorry, my head feels a little uncomfortable, and I can't blow the wind, and the wind is invisible, so it's not that I can't feel it. It's not there, please forgive my faux pas."

Michael poured drinks for the host in an orderly manner, squatted down on one knee at the table, cut open a piece of fruit, and then poured red wine.

He has inquired about the master's preferences.

Derek doesn't care about it: "I completely understand, just like people sometimes feel cold and sleep without a quilt, and they will always catch a cold the next day."

After making a joke, Derek looked at Luo Zhi's face and got to the point: "I heard that Mr. Kaka is in the spice business?"

"Yes, I'm only making spices at the moment." Luo Zhi picked up the fruit wine and leaned back against the sofa to relax. "I'm leaving soon. When I leave, I want to take a batch of finished spices with me. Of course, I will also collect spice materials."

Derek sighed: "I was also in the spice business at the beginning, but I didn't pay much attention to the spice business. I turned to focus on the seafood business. I thought there was little competition. I didn't expect to return to the spice business..."

Doing seafood business requires fishing boats. Fishing boats are very expensive, even more expensive than a house, and they need to be maintained frequently after buying, which costs a lot of money, so there are not many seafood merchants.

There are not many competitors, but the competitors are strong, so he can only give up.

"Damn Fengshen Church!" Cursing the person who cut off his money in his heart, Derek calmly said to Luo Zhi, "I don't know what kind of spices Mr. Luo wants, and how much? I can provide you with the goods."

Derek made an appointment to meet, that is to take the business.

"How many pieces to start?" Luo Zhi held the wine glass, took a sip of the wine after cooling down, the taste was not bad.

Derek replied: "At least a thousand."

"Perfume for people, men and women, processed edible spices," Luo Zhizao thought about what he wanted, "[-] pieces of human perfume, [-] catties of edible spices, unlimited types, various flavors, good quality, and packaging To be delicate, it must reflect the uniqueness of the item, this is for human perfume, and it must not contain toxicity.”

Luo Zhi originally thought that the total amount of [-] pieces would be fine. After all, it was the first time he brought the goods, and he had other things to bring, and he was in trouble, so it should not be so many, but he temporarily considered that the total amount of [-] pieces For a wealthy outsider who finally came here, it's not enough.

Now he wants to create a great image, so that the other party feels that he can cooperate for a long time, and Derek can earn more, the debt is loose, he does not need additional benefits, and Derek will cherish him as an external collaborator.

"[-] pieces of perfume, [-] catties of edible spices..." Derek silently calculated how much money he could make.

He understands the spice business, this continent is full of spices, and for finished perfumes, he can immediately find a manufacturer, and [-] pieces can be produced in a week.

First of all, he needs to know the quotation of the workshop, then he raises the price on the quotation list of the workshop, then takes the raised quotation as his own quotation, and finally quotes to Kakazhi.

Among them, he has to eat at least twice.

According to the spice business he had done before, a finished rose essential oil perfume was of ordinary quality, and the workshop price was one silver coin, and the market price was at least five or six times the workshop price.

Perfumes of different quality have different prices. This foreign merchant wants exquisite products, so the price is even higher. He only needs to pay two or three times the price difference, and he can make a lot of money.

After a little consideration, Derek made a decision: "No problem, I'll take note of Mr. Kakazhi's request, but I need some time to come up with a quotation for you."

"Sure, can we meet again tomorrow?" Luo Zhi was anxious.

"No problem." Derek agreed, the opportunity should not be missed, this matter does not need him to do it himself, he has staff.

After taking a sip of wine, Luo Zhi smiled: "I'm looking forward to it."

Nothing happened today. Luo Zhi went back to the hotel early. He had nothing to do last night. He thought the captain was tired, so he didn’t knock on the captain’s door. He didn’t see the captain for a day and two nights. Feel.

"Kuukou~" knocked on the door, Luo Zhi waited.

The door opened quickly, and the person inside the door was red-haired and blue-eyed, energetic, handsome and stern.

Seeing that it was Luo Zhi, Sig Capet's face became very soft: "Come in, Luo Zhi."

Luo Zhixin stepped in: "Captain, everyone has gone back to the boat, what's going on?"

Glancing across the room, he saw an altar in the room, and then he remembered that he hadn't prayed to the "Lord of the Sky" with the captain for a few days.

Then, Luo Zhi's eyes were attracted, and there was a strange bird lying on the altar. It had been disembowelled, and its bright red flesh was glowing. Under the light of the candle, it revealed a kind of evil beauty.

The blood is full of spirituality and is the material of some kind of elemental potion.

Luo Zhi looked at the captain suspiciously. The captain was offering sacrifices, but the god didn't respond?

"I just finished," Seeger sat on the sofa beside the altar, "They all went back to the ship. The deal with the gangsters has been successfully completed. I'm waiting for my goods. It will take a few days."

Glancing at the altar, Sig said without emotion: "I pray to the Lord of the Sky to help me recover my strength. He seems dissatisfied with my sacrifice."

He wasn't disappointed, he just had a try.

The captain wants to regain his strength before the vampire clan moves.

Luo Zhi looked at the captain quietly, wanted to say something but didn't know what to say, wanted to thank the captain, but also wanted to comfort the captain, felt that the captain's heart was very calm, it seemed that his mood was not affected, and Luo Zhi didn't know what to say.

The air became quiet, Luo Zhi and Sig looked at each other, inexplicably, Luo Zhi felt embarrassed, why did the captain keep looking at him?

It's normal, it's just the two of them here.

However, why do you feel that the captain is watching very intently...Luo Zhi's self-comfort was ineffective, he turned his blue eyes to look elsewhere, and saw the bloody altar again, then he said: "Then think about another sacrifice..."

After a pause, Luo Zhi found another topic, "My side is also going well, just wait for Amedeo to give me magic items..."

Sig looked at Luo Zhi's slightly embarrassed face with a smile in his eyes, listened to him quietly, then picked up a fruit, and a moment later, he put a glass of juice in front of Luo Zhi.

Luo Zhi drank the juice all at once, then said goodbye and went back to sleep.The next day, Luo Zhi took Michael to meet Derek Brown at the "Queen's Bar".

Luo Zhi looked at the quotation carefully. There were ten kinds of perfumes, the quality of which was not cheap, the lowest price was 2 silver coins each, and the highest price was 15 silver coins each.

According to Luo Zhi's understanding, the perfume priced at 2 silver coins in the workshop is sold for 10 silver coins in the market.

At this price, ordinary people living in St. Alice Street can afford it, but they have to save for a few months.

Flavors are less expensive than perfumes.

In the end, Luo Zhi placed an order for 5000 pieces of perfume and spent [-] gold coins.

Adding in the 500 gold coins for the spices, it cost a total of 5500 gold coins.

He had silently calculated that when he returned to the New Civilization Continent, he would earn ten times as much.

Derek gave Luo Zhi a delivery date of one week later.

After a busy day, Luo Zhi went back to the hotel peacefully.

As Luo Zhi speculated, during his busy period, the vampire did not come to trouble him, he knew that this was the calm before the storm.

Back at the hotel, Luo Zhi was about to find the captain, when he caught a glimpse of colorful colors out of the corner of his eyes, he looked intently, and saw a bird squatting in the corner of the vase in the corridor.

"Hey! My friend, you're back!" Brandon raised his right wing and made a hoarse voice.
