Chapter 6 The Art of Trading
Port Fis is located on a large island. Unlike Tyrol, a small island with only one small town, not only does Port Fis have a large scale, but there are other "inland" cities on this island.
Thanks to location, population, properties and business, this port can already be called prosperous.
Under normal circumstances, it should take seven to ten days to travel from Tyrol to Fez, and this is already the closest harbour to Tyrol. Therefore, fish catches on the island are often transported here for transaction processing.
Mo Fei has been here a few times, but the fishing boats are definitely not qualified to enter the port directly.
But this time it was different. He really came in from the front, and others could not stop him... The main reason was that the thing he was dragging behind was too big, so when the port staff were still shocked, he was already driving the fishing boat to the shore.
The huge sea king body half floating on the sea was dragged into the port, leaving a faint drifting blood along the way. It looked very ferocious, but for some reason why it looks a bit miserable now... It seems that someone has done something terrible to it.
Aquaman looks like a bruised nose and a swollen face, not just a bruised nose and a swollen face.
After all, it was dead, but it was still slapped to death by "killing with one blow".
When the Aquarius appeared in the port, it immediately caused a sensation. For ordinary people, this thing is very rare. Most people only hear the name of the Aquarius but have not seen its shape. Now they finally see the real thing... They probably have a feeling of looking at "monsters".
More and more people gathered on the shore, most of them pointed at the Neptune, and a small number of them pointed at Mo Fei on the fishing boat.
Mo Fei sat on the boat so calmly, and he was not in a hurry, because he felt that in such a prosperous port city, there must be merchants who are very sensitive to such things.
After a while, the pilot at the port realized that they seemed to be in charge of this matter. Just as the pilot came to Mo Fei's ship in a small boat, before he could speak, a middle-aged man with round eyes came out of the crowd on the shore.
Behind the middle-aged man was a strong man, who thought he should be a bodyguard. The bodyguard signaled the pilot with his eyes, so the latter had to swallow the words to his mouth and then quietly retreated aside.
"Young man, where did this sea king come from?" the middle-aged man asked Mo Fei.
Mo Fei first looked at the other person's clothes. Well, this man looked like a big businessman, so he said, "I was lucky when I was fishing at sea, so I brought it here to see if I could be sold..."
"Picked up?" The middle-aged businessman turned around and looked at the bodyguard behind him, who shook his head decisively.
This lie is not very clever. This kind of sea king is very fresh at first glance. Even if it is something you pick up, most people have no ability to transport it from the outside to this port.
Relying on such a small fishing boat? Just kidding.
Mo Fei did not respond to the other party's doubts, and he then asked, "Are you interested in Aquarius? I think its meat is very good and it is very nourishing. If you buy it, you will definitely not suffer any loss."
The middle-aged businessman pinched his chin and seemed to think for a while, then said, "It's hard to deal with such a big guy. I think... What do you think of 1.2 million Bailey, young man."
Mo Fei just smiled and then bargained, "2 million Bailey, if you can make a deal, you will get a deal. If you can't make a deal, I will drag it back."
The Aquaman he captured belongs to the small and medium-sized Aquaman, with a size of more than 40 meters. Although Mo Fei lacks the ability to estimate the weight of this behemoth, this thing must have exceeded 200 tons.
Two million Baileys bought two hundred tons of meat, which is ten Baileys per kilogram. Baileys are equivalent to Japanese yen, which is converted to six cents per kilogram... This bid is already losing the bottoms.
Moreover, the most valuable thing for this large creature is often the oil in the body, and the meat is just a product.
The middle-aged businessman looked at Mo Fei deeply and said, "Young man, you don't look like a fisherman."
This made Mo Fei smile particularly silly, and then he heard him say, "The main business is a fisherman, occasionally part-time job in bounty hunters and other professions."
This ambiguous "other profession" should be very problematic.
"..." The middle-aged businessman didn't say anything more, because even if he bids for two million Bailey, he could still make a big profit. "2 million Baileys have been sold."
Then he said to the person behind him, "Take this fisherman to withdraw money."
There must be some negotiations on this price, and it can even be negotiated a lot. However, Mo Fei was too lazy to spend this time. He thought it was quite appropriate to sell it for two million at a time... Of course, if this sea king was really picked up by an ordinary fisherman, he would probably not be able to get a penny.
Mo Fei stated that he was a person who could hunt sea kings, so it was easier for middle-aged businessmen to pay money... His "strength" is the best guarantee of business integrity.
Although Mo Fei has no strength now, he is just bluffing people.
Mo Fei had no doubts, and threw the fishing boat and the sea king here, then put it on the big pocket on the boat, followed directly behind the bodyguard and walked into the city.
After passing through the streets and alleys, the bodyguard took Mo Fei to the bank in the city, and then paid him two million Bailey cash, the transaction was completed... Just selling a fish, how complicated can it be?
After the other party left, Mo Fei remained in the bank.
"Sir, are you Mr. Rofield's friend?" The account manager in the bank pointed at Mo Fei indirectly.
Of course Mo Fei was dressed very poorly, and the fishy smell on her body was hard to hide, but the transaction just now was not a small transaction, and his attitude was not as timid as the fishermen in small places.
"Some business dealings," Mo Fei didn't care who the businessman was, but it seemed that the other party had a good status, so he quietly slandered. "I'll bring something else this time, please help me valuate it."
Mo Fei handed the things he stolen from the pirate to the other party. It would be best if these things were taken by the bank. He only hoped that the bank could see... Well, his good friend Mr. Rofield should not be too scammered in the face of others.
"Please wait."
The account manager called two more people, and they carried the pack of jingling things away. After a while, the counting was counted, and after the valuation was completed, he returned to Mo Fei again.
"Sir, we can give a valuation of 7 million Bailey for your stuff, you think..."
"Yes." Mo Fei agreed directly, and he took as much as the bank gave him, but he still cursed the poor in his heart... Isn't it just a poor pirate group? His entire capital is only worth three fish.
"A total of 9 million Baileys, please help me exchange 50 bearer certificates of deposit of 100,000 Baileys and 400,000 Baileys gold coins. The rest will help me open an account and deposit it in my name, right?" Mo Fei said after thinking for a while.
Well, no matter what, there is "startup capital".
"Yes, sir."
For the sake of Mr. Rofield, the bank's service attitude is very good.
The subsequent matters were handled faster, and the manager finally handed a document to Mo Fei.
"Sir, please sign your name here."
Mo Fei took the pen, paused his fingertips before signing his name:
“Elinder Murphy”
Alindel Mo Fei
He is a poor fisherman on a small island. In fact, he only has his name, so where does he get his surname? Alindel is the name of the "brother" who saved him on the boat before. Although the other party wanted to save his younger brother rather than him, the other party was the one who could make him survive.
