Chapter 5 Transactions and Quotations(2/2)
Fang Zhu nodded.
However, the next few days were calm and the situation was even smoother than expected. The Empire voluntarily blocked the port and no ship left - as Catherine said, the Oshu people seemed to be searching for something in the port, but because of Edward's relationship, no one found this place.
Catherine also quickly brought good news - those people were very interested in their goods, and she had won a very suitable price, 70 million Risel - but the other party had to inspect the goods first. If the value of the goods was as they said, the specific details could be discussed.
The inspection time was set a day later, and Catherine's advance suggestion played a role. Since the Qihai Traveler was originally parked in a private port, it did not require any effort to cover up the news. As long as the manpower of both sides arrived, the delivery could be started.
This dusty lady has been running around these days, but Fang Yu and her group seemed leisurely. This was probably the easiest period since their adventure - there was no need to worry about anything.
On the day of handover, Catherine came to the hotel early. It was raining outside. The misty rain blocked the scenery of Quemana Harbour. Only the direction of the port was hazy. The hill where the old lighthouse was located was inserted directly into the clouds.
She was closing the door, taking off her cloak that was wet with rain and hanging it aside, looking at everyone:
"Everyone is ready?"
Fang Yu nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, Ms. Catherine."
Catherine didn't care too much about shook her head and looked at everyone with a playful smile: "We are the kind of people who do this. We earn hard money and lick blood from the knife. This is nothing. Compared to my original job, it's quite easy."
"Sister Catherine's original job?" Tianlan asked curiously.
"I mean that not every other business is so smooth. Your order is very large, and I can get a generous reward. Such good things are not often there," she smiled slightly. "Not to talk about this for now. I have heard some news these days and plan to inform you."
"About the Imperial Army?"
"Hey, you guessed it?" Catherine looked at Fang Zhu in surprise.
"It's nothing strange," Fang Yu shook his head. "No ships left in the port for several days, no ships arrived, no news from outside came from outside, and the only thing worth noting is probably the Oshu people, so what exactly are they searching?"
"I've asked for something explosive, just give it to you for free," Catherine smiled mysteriously, "It's about the blood-handed pirate Barosa. Not long ago, he had a conflict with people nearby. The Imperial Navy was tracking the whereabouts of the Blood Shark Pirate, so naturally he came to hear the news like a hyena."
"Bloody Hand?"
Fang Yu was slightly stunned: "It's the leader of the Blood Shark Pirate, Balosha Roberts. I heard that he called himself the new pirate king who commanded the Seven Seas after Rodrigo Andris, but it's only two or three years old - and he doesn't have the dominance of the gray pirate king. I heard that many people don't agree with him."
"That's true." Catherine nodded.
"So the Blood Shark Pirates have had conflicts with other pirate forces in just a few days. Their whereabouts on the Air Sea are also frequent, so the Imperial Navy can track their actions. The key is that they suffered a major loss a year ago in Idus, and then this guy can't suppress his subordinates' heads."
"But what does this have to do with the Imperial Army searching here?"
"Of course it has something to do, and it has a lot to do. The pirate king was surrounded by the Imperial Navy who rushed to the news. His ship crashed in that battle, but some people said he fled on a sampan. At that time, the only ones closest to the battlefield were Galshul and Quemana, and there was nothing to hide on the bare stone island, so some people suspected that the pirate king secretly boarded the island."
Fang Ling heard the joke in the lady's tone, and was obviously very gloating about it. He looked at the other party with some suspicion: "But what does all this have to do with us?"
"I have an idea," said Catherine. "Now the Imperial Army blocked the port, and it is not easy for us to leave Quemana, but we may be able to create a mess to expose the pirate king. As long as the Imperial Army's attention is attracted, we can leave calmly."
"You mean to let us find Barossa?" Fang Yu shook his head: "I don't think this is a good idea. We have a way to leave Port Quemana, so there is no need to be such a problem."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! He is not willing to make trouble, and now he is a little overwhelmed when he hears the three words Pirate King.
The Blood Shark Pirates' sphere of influence is in Shengxiu'an, and getting involved with these guys will be a big trouble for the Seven Seas Brigade.
Catherine was slightly stunned.
However, she quickly reacted. Although she was a little disappointed with the naked eye, she quickly adjusted her emotions and smiled and said, "It's okay, it's because I'm not thinking well. Everyone is my employer, so of course you have the final say."
She quickly skipped the topic, glanced blankly across the emblem on Fang Yu's chest, and changed the topic: "Go back to the topic, you have accepted this offer, but those guys have another request."
"What are the requirements, Ms. Catherine?"
"You asked them to pay the quote in Xingmen Port currency, but they couldn't come up with that large amount of cash. This was in Guimana, not in Vorhich. They wanted to ask if they could accept barter."
"Barry with things?" Fang Yu was stunned for a moment.
"If it is a goods of equal value, we can naturally accept it, but Ms. Catherine, you should understand why we are eager to deal with this batch of goods. If the other party gives the goods for trading too much, it will be meaningless to us."
"Don't worry, they proposed that the goods they used for exchange are of high value, which are pure gold and mitral. Even if they are exchanged in equivalent amounts, they will not take up much load on your ship, but..."
"only?"
Fang Yu suddenly remembered that there was actually a batch of mitrish silver on the Qihai Traveler, which was dug out from that valley. Among the part of the raw ore loaded at that time, most of the trip were hand-smelted into mitrish silver for him.
The mitrals are still pressed into the bottom cabin on the ship.
"It's just that the origin of these precious metals is a bit unusual. The warehouse where they are stored is actually affiliated with the Imperial Army... They can take out these things through some relationships, but those guys are worried about whether you can accept it."
Katherine smiled mysteriously, "You know."
"So these things are actually dirt?" Cui Xisi, an imperial man, was speechless and couldn't help rolling her eyes: "We were here to let you deal with dirt, but that's what your barter means?"
She immediately realized that the so-called insufficient cash is probably a cover. After all, she could empty the Imperial Army's warehouse to complete the transaction, so why bother paying for it yourself?
Most others also felt speechless.
This is the first time that everyone has deeply realized how lawless these smugglers, the so-called extrajudicial smugglers in the world, are they?
But Fang Yu pondered for a moment and suddenly realized that the transaction was acceptable. But he looked up at the other party and had to confirm the delivery ratio first. If there were too many, first, they would not use so much, and second, he would need a sum of cash to transform the Qihai Traveler account next.
"Not much," Catherine replied immediately, "Misins have three tons, about half a ton of pure gold, and some cold iron and magic black wood. They are all military supplies, so you can rest assured about the quality."
"Not much, my goodness?"
Sky Blue took a breath of air conditioning - these are the empire's borers - Miltsil is a rare companion ore. The output of some small veins is only about a few tons. Miltsil can be used on some precision components of sailboats, especially the magic engine.
The mitril and pure gold stored here in the empire may be all the reserve materials for a squadron in a war. It usually takes three to five or even ten years to reach such a number. These people secretly took them out and traded with smugglers?
She couldn't imagine it, but fortunately it wasn't their business. She was just a little curious about why the leader bought so much mitril to do?
These few tons of Mithril are enough to arm a fleet.
"So how much?" Fang Yu asked.
"The market price of Mithril is 18 million Risels per ton, and the pure gold is almost the same, but this is a dirt, so I will naturally ask them to discount the price proportionally, and they intend to discount the price of two-thirds of the price."
Fang Yu calculated silently and immediately realized that he had made a profit. The market price of three and a half tons of Misin and pure gold was about 60 million, which was not counted as cold iron and magical black wood, which was far more than two-thirds of the 70 million.
Although there is a discount factor here, in fact, whether it is a dirt is of little significance to them. He did not intend to take advantage of this batch of mitrals, so it was equivalent to saying that he made a net profit of tens of millions of miles apart from one round and one round.
He suppressed the surprise below and understood in his heart that this business was also cost-effective for those "smugglers". Anyway, he made money by making money and it was not their own money. It was a win-win outcome for both parties.
The only one who suffers is probably the Empire?
He was about to speak.
But Tianlan on the side had already taken the lead and said: "We need at least 30 million Risel cash. Sister Catherine, these mitral and pure gold are military supplies of the empire, and we are not that easy to take action. We are saying that we should take risks for them, and we should take more benefits in terms of feelings and reason."
"make a deal."
Catherine agreed immediately, even with a happy expression: "Then let's just say that, we'll see you later."
She happily took her to the door and left, leaving the poet's lady with annoyance, and couldn't help but cover her face with her hands: "It's better to be low, Brother Ed, woo-I should have known that those guys didn't take the inventory of the Empire seriously at all."
Fang Yu couldn't help but shake his head.
I thought to myself that I had made enough money, at least twice as much as I had expected to offer - fortunately he didn't speak.
