Chapter 34: The Rainstorm (I)

The secretary of the trading company took out his handkerchief and kept wiping the cold sweat, putting on a puzzled look to satisfy the vanity of the big man in front of him: "What do you mean?"

"What's that Chamber of Commerce called?" Alcatio pondered. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The secretary cautiously reminded: "Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce." ”

"Look at the name," Arcatio smiled, looking a little disdainful: "A group of nouveau riche in the countryside huddle together to keep warm, and the greatest use of these self-conscious little people is to use their own hard work to open the way for the superiors, so as not to cause trouble when we leave." ”

"I sit back and watch these little people, who are only suitable for doing mundane tasks the size of sesame mung beans, running back and forth from place to place, just so that they can build a good trade network and then pick this ripe fruit with their hands. ”

The secretary of the trading company scolded in his heart for being cunning and cunning, and said in his mouth: "Far-sighted, sure enough, the lord is not a loss to the important minister of the country, and you in the center of state affairs, your vision is different from those mediocre people who can only mix in the local area from the beginning." ”

He asked, "So you want to come forward and contact the members of the Chamber of Commerce and let them be the wings of our trading company from now on?"

Arcatio raised his eyebrows: "What do you think is a nobleman? When you need it, you just need to tell others to do things, you have your own little people to help you do it, and those who participate in mundane affairs all day long are considered 'noble' clans!"

……

In the docks of Kalmar City, Sassarian is inspecting goods with the directors of the Chamber of Commerce in a warehouse rented by his own Chamber of Commerce.

Kalmar doesn't have enough capacity to meet its growing population, so the city is like a behemoth, sucking in huge quantities of supplies from various places on a daily basis from the busy docks.

The Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce is made up of local businessmen from all walks of life, and their needs are to sell the goods they produce, which coincides with the needs of big cities like Kalmar.

Therefore, under the persuasion of Sassarian, the various businessmen agreed to form a chamber of commerce, hoping to work together to open the capital's big market.

Now, it seems that it is quite effective. Thassarian thought contentedly.

Bang!

As soon as Thassarian was somewhat satisfied, he heard a loud bang at the door of the warehouse, and a group of heavily armed soldiers had slammed the door open, and then rushed into the warehouse.

Several people from the Chamber of Commerce wanted to come forward to ask, but they were pushed away by one of the leading officials, and he looked around before asking loudly, "Who is the owner of this warehouse?"

Sassarian had been in business for a long time, and knew the virtues of the bureaucrats, and thought that the other party had come to ask for bribes, so he glanced at the directors beside him, and he cautiously stepped forward and said, "I am ......." ”

Before Sassarian could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the official, and he glanced at Sasarian up and down: "You are the president of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce, Sassarian?"

There was something wrong with the official's tone, which made Sasarian feel a little uncomfortable.

He was just about to say something more flattering, when he saw that the official had already waved his hand to the wolf-like soldier: "Arrest this profiteer who evades taxes!"

……

The torrential rain began in the blink of an eye.

Alcatio's room, the secretary of the trading company and Eaton had left, but several new guests had arrived.

Alcatio drank a slow cup of black tea, and said to the man on the other side of the sofa: "It's not enough to catch a president, I also have to hurt them, this taming man is actually the same as taming a dog, if you don't hurt them at once, let them know who has absolute power, they don't know who is the master." ”

"What do you want to do?"

"I heard that there are a few characters on their ship, who have repelled some small pirates who are not in the stream, so there has been no problem with transportation, in the East China Sea, business is inseparable from ships, let alone the sea, I want them to understand that as long as I don't nod, their goods don't even dare to leave the dock. ”

Eton was approaching the room again with a stack of materials, and it happened that there was a lightning bolt outside, and the thunder light suddenly illuminated the room, reflecting on the people opposite Arcatio, making their faces white and miserable, startling Eton.

It is no wonder that Eaton reacted in this way, and the two men sitting opposite Alcatio at this time were incompatible with this palatial room and the graceful and luxurious owner of the room, both in face, dress, and temperament.

A man farther away from the door, as big as a brown bear, wore a slightly yellowed white shirt with a black waistcoat and a tightly wrapped jacket that was only half-buttoned, revealing a chest with thick body hair.

He wore a black tricorne hat on his head, but his head was too large for a hat, and his hair was thick, so that his long messy red hair and half of his head were exposed under the hat.

A red beard that matched his hair color almost obscured half of his face, but what didn't match his overall scruffy image was that his red beard was groomed and shiny, and the long beard on his chin hung down to his chest.

He appeared to have suffered severe injuries, with several scars crisscrossing his face, a blindfold on his left eye, and a silver prosthetic leg on his left hand with an iron hook on the top.

The three-cornered hat, black blindfold, and iron hook hand with an overgrown beard are almost identical to the image of the pirate captain in the pirate story that Eton heard when he was a child.

Although the man sitting next to this "pirate captain" is not as "avant-garde" as him, his face is not far behind.

This man was as tall and stout as "Captain Pirates", but he was a lot fatter, and he was also sloppy, and his discolored shirt was half-open and half-closed, which could not cover his big belly with thick body hair, which made people look sideways at his face, with severe burn scars on it, covering almost half of his face, which made him have a yin and yang head, with messy red hair on one side and a potholed bald head on the other.

The burned half of his face was also sparsely bearded, curled into a shape that could barely be seen as a goatee.

The man with a terrible face grinned at Eton when he came in, showing a mouthful of big yellow teeth, how scary it was.

It's not the first time I've seen these two men, but every time I see them, I feel unsure.

Damn pirates!Eaton cursed mentally, but on the surface he didn't dare to show it at all, there were several heavily armed guards standing behind Alcatio, two of whom still had ten hands with sea towers on their waists, these people were not there when Alcatio met with the secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, and it was obvious that even Alcatio was a little afraid of the two men opposite.

Edon concealed his panic and saluted the man in the three-cornered hat: "Mr. Barbarossa." ”

He saluted the fat man with Scarface: "Mr. Hyreddin." ”

The two on the other side nodded casually.
