Silent. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The dark cabin has an unpleasant but addictive smell made of moldy liquor and a variety of foods.
After a long silence, William lowered his eyebrows and twisted his sore neck, and the faint light from the oil lamp fell on his face, and he sneered.
"It seems that you are not ignorant of the Harrison family. ”
Zheng Fei shrugged his shoulders slightly and did not reply.
After a pause of two seconds, a trace of contempt appeared in William's eyes, and in the dim light, there was a thick irony.
"Do you know the price of the Harrison family's low-ranking mercenaries?"
"I don't know. Zheng Fei said softly.
"Then I'll tell you!" William's emotions were obviously excited, his muscles struggled fiercely, and he said proudly: "According to the cruelty of the battle, the price is between two hundred and four hundred silver coins per person, and you actually want 100,000 people, do you have the strength?"
After the impassioned announcement, William immediately put on a mocking face, staring at Zheng Fei defiantly, his chest slightly straightened.
Over the years, as the pivotal figure of the Harrison family, William has had a lot of contact with the big tycoons scattered all over Europe, and in his opinion, looking at the entire European continent, there are only a handful of bigwigs who can sit on tens of millions of assets! The strength of this person in front of him should not be underestimated, but it will definitely not be so strong.
The reason why he said this was that he hoped that Zheng Fei would be able to retreat from the difficulties, stop thinking about hiring an army of 100,000 people to fight, and take the opportunity to grab some territory and get a piece of the pie.
Looking at William's almost excited appearance, Zheng Fei wiped the bridge of his nose and groaned.
"However, I can only give you a million silver coins at most. ”
He said with a blank face, just as a bug fell into the oil lamp, and the fire flickered, synchronized with the consternation that burst into William's eyes.
"If I'm not mistaken, you're a madman!" William struggled to break free and beat Zheng Fei violently, but the chains were too strong for even a Spartan warrior to break free.
He was as impatient as a sleepy beast, and roared: "100,000 men! 1 million silver coins! 10 silver coins each! You are a merchant...... No, you're a navigator...... Anyway, you know that at the big docks, porters can earn at least ten silver coins a month, and you want to use that to make my people work for you?!"
Zheng Fei had a premonition that he was going to spit and snatched the shield of the guard next to him to block it, sure enough.
Next, the entire cabin was flooded with William's angry scolding that lasted for several minutes, and this scolding even reached the deck, causing a wave of suspicion among the sailors, who wanted to come in and take a look, but did not dare.
"You're the devil! You want to drink their blood!"
"You will be punished by God!
......
Zheng Fei never stopped William, he understood that if he wanted to negotiate this business with William, he had to let him express all the anger and depression in his heart, only in this way could William really calm down.
William's incessant cursing attracted the attention of everyone on board, who crowded the entrance to the cabin, looking through the deep passage to the deepest part of the cabin, knowing that the sound was coming from the innermost door.
People craned their necks to look in, and the noisy sound of discussion rose all over the deck, and even attracted people on the shore, many of whom wanted to get on the boat to see the excitement, and were chased down by the sailors.
The Romanian prince and several of Zheng Fei's entourage blocked their ears and kept urging Zheng Fei to quickly stop William's mouth, Zheng Fei also wanted to block his ears but he couldn't, he had to always hold a shield to prevent William's spit.
After five minutes, William's voice was hoarse, probably tired, and he gradually settled down, his face haggard and lost, and he occasionally muttered a few words.
"Santiago, hand him a glass of water. Zheng Fei plucked out his ears, and he was still a little echoed by the noise.
Reluctantly, Santiago picked up the kettle on the table and poured a glass, brought it to the mouth of William, who was muttering to himself, and said with a straight face: "Wow." ”
Unexpectedly, the "iron-clad" William did not resist at all, and opened his mouth to drink, it seemed that he was really thirsty.
This move told Zheng Fei that William's anger had been vented.
After drinking the water, William stared at the ceiling above his head, distracted.
After leaving him alone for a short while, Zheng Fei sat down on the stool, bent over with his elbows on his knees, and rubbed his thumbs together.
"Mr. William Harrison, can we talk about our cooperation now?"
This time Harrison didn't sneer, still staring at the ceiling, and replied indifferently: "Ten silver coins, what do you think of the lives of our Harrison family warriors?"
"Are they really warriors? some people may be, but most of them are characters who participate in the massacre for money, aren't they?" Zheng Fei said bluntly.
The simple and profound language made William, who was in a lost trance, slightly moved, and his gloomy eyes revealed endless sorrow.
"You're right. After a few seconds, William sighed.
"So you're going to help me?"
"You can't help if you want to, you have to know that they are all human beings, not slaves of the Harrison family, even if you use me as a threat, they will never agree. As you said, they do everything for money, not like your group of knights who fight for their faith! ”
Hearing this, Zheng Fei raised his eyebrows slightly, and said softly: "I think you misunderstood, I mean, no money is indispensable to them, but ......"
"But what?" William asked eagerly, his eyes shining.
It's a lot of money, which means that the deal can be completed smoothly, so that not only can you regain your freedom, but also make a lot of money for the Harrison family, the best of both worlds!
However, only half a second later, before he could catch his breath when he had just climbed into the abyss, he was beaten back to the bottom.
"But it's up to you to pay for it. Zheng Fei said lightly, smiling malice.
If William had been standing, he would have sat on his hips or knelt on his knees.
In short, he was desperate and depressed.
"At least 20 million silver coins...... Where am I going to get so much money? Are you blackmailing me?!"
"yes. Zheng Fei nodded and turned his head to look at Santiago, who humbly echoed, making William lose his temper.
William gritted his teeth: "To be honest, all my current assets are only more than 600,000 silver coins, plus a castle manor in France, a total of more than 1 million." ”
"I didn't say let you go alone, but the entire Harrison family's ruling class. As he spoke, Zheng Fei smiled slyly and leaned forward: "Over the years, you have made a lot of money, right?" )
