Chapter XVIII Checklist

Because Becker and Edmund couldn't show up, the few of them discussed the details of the plan in detail, especially the steps of kidnapping and hijacking, and the three of Tony left with a solemn face. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After the three of them left, Edmund came back to his senses and asked curiously, "Is the method you said really profitable?" ”

After a deal was negotiated, Becker was in a good mood and was about to hurry back, when he heard this, he replied indifferently: "Who knows? ”

"Huh?" Edmund froze in place, his face was full of confidence and brightness when he just saw what Becker said, and he felt that Becker was very sure, but he didn't expect to wait for this reply, he hurriedly caught up with Becker, who had already walked a short distance, and asked a little anxiously: "Aren't you very confident just now?" ”

Becker gave Edmund a strange look, and then remembered that Edmund was only a sixteen-year-old native, and had never worked in the workplace in his previous life, and explained: "You don't even have confidence in your own plan, how can you convince the people who listen to it?" Moreover, we are a business negotiator, and the solution of processing products is a bargaining chip to increase our share of the revenue, and of course we must show confidence in the plan that we use as a bargaining chip, so as to convince the negotiator to agree with the proportion we currently hold in the earnings. ”

Edmund was a little dumbfounded, theoretically Becker said that he had a share of the money he used to invest in Tony's mead: "You mean that Tony's plan won't make any money?" So what else do you say? ”

"You don't understand what I mean? The plan is to maintain the proportion of our profits," Becker patiently continued, "Besides, it's not that we can't make money, I should say that we can definitely make money." ”

Hearing that he could make money, Edmund cheered up again and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"What we do is no capital trading, even the investment used to process products is robbed, the labor cost of the two of us is about equal to zero, Tony's side, are a group of young gangsters, he is the head of the snake, the labor cost will definitely be squeezed to the extreme, even if the product is not as good as expected after processing, but it must be no problem to sell, at most it is a matter of earning more and earning less, but in the final analysis, it is all earned, what are you worried about?"

Edmund thought about it and felt that what Becker said made sense, but when he thought that the money that could have been made more had become less, although the money had not yet arrived, it was not his own at all, and he still complained to Becker with some flesh pain: "Although it is said that it is to earn more and earn less, but it is always possible to earn less, I still have a little flesh pain, it is better not to process it, I can make more money, and it is safe." ”

Becker shook his head, thinking to himself, even if Edmund is still a pirate, he doesn't dare to fight for a sure-fire business without losing money, this is at most a risk with the expected future gains, but the pirates are taking risks with their heads, and the future life is much more expensive than the future income.

Becker didn't say these words in his heart, Edmund was a teenager after all, although he didn't approve of Edmund being a pirate, but he also wanted to follow the temptation and do some more promising jobs such as warlords and soldiers.

Becker briefly comforted: "There is still a great possibility that the product processing plan will be implemented smoothly. ”

"Hmm." Edmund nodded when he heard this, he listened to Becker's extravagant speech to Tony and others before, and his confidence in Becker increased greatly, but after a while, Edmund, who was silent, suddenly seemed to sigh, and said half-jokingly: "You said that if I marry Eugenie in the future, then I am not planning to rob my own family with you today?" ”

Becker smiled and patted Edmund on the shoulder.

The two parted ways for a while after leaving the woods, Edmund went back to the dojo to practice his sword, and Becker went back to the tavern, because Edmon still had some excitement on his face because of the plan, Becker couldn't help but tell him a few words, so as not to be discovered by the adults in the dojo.

It was already afternoon when Becker returned to the tavern, and Charles, who was running around on the first floor to serve guests, saw that Becker had finally come back from the dojo, and scolded in a low voice, Mrs. Honoré was sick in bed, and the tavern was short of manpower, and Charles's already heavy work became more, and it was actually the same when there were fewer people in the tavern in the past, but now there are more Becker as a peer in the tavern, and when Charles works alone, seeing that Becker can still run to the dojo to learn swords, his psychology is a little unbalanced, And Becker, who is in his thirties, usually talks and laughs with Eugenie, which makes Charles even more jealous.

At dinner, Becker made a gesture to bring dinner to Madame Honoré, but Charles snatched the plate in advance, he smiled flatteringly at Honoré not far away, and glanced at Becker, who did not fight when he saw him coming forward, pursed his lips disdainfully, and muttered: "It's still a waste to go to the dojo all day." ”

Becker was originally stretching out his hand to make a show, and he didn't say anything when he saw Charles' smug look, because he was about to make a big deal, and after Becker finished eating, he was dragged by Honoré to order the goods, and he didn't even use him to brush the plates, and was left by Honoré to the hard-working Charles. When Charles, who had brought food to Mrs. Honoré, returned to the kitchen, he found that he had to brush the dishes for Becker, and he was so angry that he almost smashed the plates, but at last he was still a little sensible, and knew that he dared to smash the plates, so Honoré dared to smash him, and did not do anything.

After a few days, Honoré's goods were ready, and it was time for the deal.

During the day, there were two more young guests in their twenties, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin, and Becker recognized them as the two cronies Tony had brought to meet with him last time, Manny and Angie.

Becker looked impassive, pretending to refill the glass, walked to the table of two, his lips moved slightly, and asked in a voice that only the three of them could hear, "How is Tony's over there?" ”

Manny also responded in a low voice: "Tony with more than a dozen people ambushed on the road between the village and the dock area, and when Honoré appeared with the goods, he arranged for a manure truck to collect manure, and before he started, he would have people knock over the car at the intersection to buy time for the operation." ”

Angie on the other side of the table asked Becker, "What about the person you are talking about?" ”

"On the second floor, there is a bit of a shortage of people in the tavern today, I'll point it to you later." Becker replied.

When Manny heard this, he glanced at Becker quickly and said, "Then how did you lure him out?" ”

"I have my own way."

When Becker finished speaking, he saw Honoré turn downstairs, so he stopped talking to the two and went back to the back of the bar.

Honoré was followed by the sick Mrs. Honoré, and today the transaction was an old customer, and the amount was quite large, Honoré had always followed the goods personally, but Becker was left in the tavern to be in charge of the accounts, and he was really not at ease, so he had to let Lady Honoré work while ill and shoulder the task of keeping the accounts.

The goods had been laid away in the morning, and after reassuring his wife with false affection, and intimidating Becker with all his might, he hummed a little tune and got into the hired carriage.

When Honoré was gone, Becker went up to the second floor, and when he saw Charles, seeing that he was not paying attention, he took out a slip from his pocket and threw it in a conspicuous place on the ground, and then pretended to be casual and walked to the third floor, as if he wanted to find Eugenie on the third floor.

"What is this?" Becker slowly ascended two steps, and saw Charles pick it up when he saw it, and looked at it with a puzzled expression, he didn't know much of it, let alone a list with a lot of names and numbers for the goods.

Becker pretended to be curious and lay on the handrail of the stairs, looking too far away to see the contents of the list, and said uncertainly: "This seems to be the list of goods for this transaction, right?" The boss forgot to bring it? ”

"Really?" Charles muttered, and in a blink of an eye he saw Becker on the stairs again, and his face suddenly became gloomy, and he thought that Becker had gone to find Eugenie.

Becker lay on the handrail of the stairs, stretched his neck as if to see the list further, and at the same time "muttered" in a voice that Charles could barely hear: "If it is a list, you must send it to the boss immediately, otherwise the boss will find out and run back, not to mention the delay, and he will have to give the coachman an extra share of the money, and he will definitely be angry." ”

Charles turned around and hid the list behind him, avoiding Becker's gaze, and after hearing Becker's "talk to himself", he rolled his eyes.

What about pleasing Eugenie? Eugenie, like Madame Honoré, was a man of no opinion, who only listened to Honoré in everything, and Charles believed that pleasing Honoré was the key, that it was only by currying favor with Honoré that he could inherit the tavern, and that only by pleasing Honoré could he agree to marry Honoré to him.

Thinking that Mr. Honoré didn't seem to be far away, Charles hurriedly threw the rag in his hand into Becker's face, and ran downstairs with a bang, a bang, a bang.

Becker, who was smiling, also quietly lagged a few steps behind, and as Charles went downstairs, Manny and Angie's eyes happened to look at Becker, and when Becker saw this, he nodded at Charles's hurried back, and the two got up to follow Charles.
