Chapter 432: Do I Need to Buy It?
Zheng Fei smiled knowingly, took the initiative to clink glasses with him, and introduced himself: "My name is Santiago, an Italian. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Santiago, who was sitting at the table behind him gnawing on meat and bones, almost choked, and immediately became messy, staring at him with a confused expression: "You... I..."
"Oh my~ It turned out to be Santiago in Italy, I remembered, long time no see. ”
A polite smile hung on the corner of Sauron's mouth, although he was a little suspicious of Zheng Fei's appearance claiming to be Italian, but he didn't break it, both sides were acting, shopping malls, sometimes it's a theater.
At this time, Sauron saw the distorted expression of Santiago and wondered, "Hey Santiago, what's wrong with your buddy?"
Zheng Fei turned his head to look at this guy, blinked, turned around and smiled: "It's nothing, his brain is not normal... Well, Mr. Sauron, why don't you find a private room and let's have a good talk?"
At this moment, the heart of Santiago is in a groove.
Sauron frowned in embarrassment, shrugged as he looked out at the streets that were about to be covered in night.
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid not today, I have to board the ship to Belgium in the evening to meet a big customer, you know, I do have a large fleet, but they all contribute to the expedition. ”
"Don't worry, I'm only going to take you for a while. Zheng Fei kept him, and the corners of his mouth curled: "Moreover, I also want to talk to you about business." ”
Talking about business is probably what a businessman like Sauron likes to hear the most.
He couldn't help but smile, thinking that there were still three or four hours before the departure, and there was still a little time before that, so he nodded and readily agreed.
found a quiet private room in the tavern, the two sat down, and Zheng Fei asked Santiago and the others to guard outside.
"Tell me, is there anything I need help with?" Sauron got straight to the point.
"I need to buy a lot of gunpowder, you're in the arms business, right?" Zheng Fei guessed.
"Yes, Denmark is my hometown, and I travel all year round between European countries, where I can make money. ”
"But for arms dealers, where there is war, you can make money, and Denmark is now a peaceful country, why are you here?"
Hearing this, Sauron smiled and drank half a glass of wine.
"You must have just arrived in Denmark recently, and you don't even know about the expedition. ”
"Expedition plan..."Zheng Fei thought about it: "I've heard of it, hasn't it been prepared for eight years, and it's finally going to start this year?"
"Internal information, it will be implemented in the near future. Sauron smiled slyly: "The warships, cannons, and soldiers of the expedition plan are all fully prepared, the only thing missing is gunpowder, without gunpowder, no matter how good the cannon is, it is just a pile of scrap metal." ”
"But with the financial resources of the Kingdom of Denmark, it shouldn't be a problem to buy some gunpowder, right?"
"No, no, no, Denmark is relatively scarce in this area of ore, and there is no way to mine it itself to make enough gunpowder, and a large part of it is missing can only be purchased from other countries. Sauron shook his finger, looking quite proud: "Originally, I shouldn't have said it, but since you already know it, and the expedition plan is about to be implemented without fear of leaking, I'll tell you about it." ”
After a pause, he poured himself a glass of wine, swallowed a sip and continued what he had just said.
"The expedition plan is highly secret, and if the royal family or the army sends people to other countries to purchase large quantities of gunpowder, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the other party, and there is a possibility that the plan will be leaked in advance. So for the sake of security, the decision-makers of the royal family can only hand over this task to us, the arms dealers, and let us ship it back from other countries through our own channels, and they will buy it at a high price, and we will earn a high price difference. ”
After the words were settled, Sauron shook his wine glass and poured it down, smiling at Zheng Fei: "How much gunpowder do you need?
"It may not be enough. Zheng Fei raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth rose: "If you tell me all this, aren't you afraid that I will rob you of your job?"
"How could it be. Sauron's smile was a little more contemptuous, and he said calmly: "I don't doubt your ability, but to be honest, not everyone can do this kind of business, it took me more than ten years to establish my own channel, how can it be so easy to be snatched away." ”
"Yes. Zheng Fei Nunu mouthed and joked: "I'm really unwilling." ”
"Haha, I won't be able to do it for long, and when the expedition begins, many parts of the continent will be in chaos, and I am going to take my belongings to England and settle down there for a good life. ”
Zheng Fei nodded in agreement, then picked up the wine glass and took a sip, pondering.
After a short silence, Sauron came to the point: "How many ships of gunpowder do you need, and when will it be delivered?"
"About thirty boats, the sooner the better. ”
"Thirty ships..."Sauron frowned, staring at him suspiciously, "What are you doing, what are you doing with so much gunpowder?"
"Mining gold. Zheng Fei responded calmly.
Hearing the word gold mine, Solon's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said urgently: "Where is the gold mine?"
"I don't rob you of your job, and I certainly don't want to be robbed. Zheng Fei shook his head.
"Okay..."Sauron looked slightly disappointed and smiled bitterly: "It seems that you are also doing a big business, but the number of thirty ships is indeed a bit much, and I don't have enough on hand for the time being, so I have to go to Belgium this time." ”
"How long?"
"About ten days, is that okay?"
"Yes, you will come to this place in ten days' time. Zheng Fei took out a note from his bosom and wrote down an address on it.
Sauron took it, and after seeing it clearly, he twisted his brows, looking confused: "Kendall Manor... I remember that this place used to be inhabited by an old nobleman, but then he moved and it was empty. ”
"So I rented it... Bought it. Zheng Fei smiled lightly.
"Well, I'll see you in ten days, I've got to get to the docks. ”
With an imperceptible smile in his eyes, Sauron got up and shook hands with the other man in a friendly manner, and then hurried out of the tavern.
Looking at Sauron walking away, Zheng Fei silently took a sip of wine and whispered to himself: "If you want gunpowder, can I buy it?" ”
After sitting for a while, he walked out of the private room, snapped a few silver coins on the counter, and then led the men out of the tavern.
It was already dark, and it was a little cold in Copenhagen at night, so when he returned to his temporary residence, Zheng Fei took a hot shower, sat down at his desk, spread out his notebook, and wrote something.
After some time, he yawned and climbed into bed to rest, knowing that he would only bring Britney.
Early the next morning.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he heard good news: Brad was back.
He hurriedly dressed and went downstairs, and sure enough, he saw Brad standing in the hall with a smile on his face. (To be continued.) )
