Once there is a sense of crisis, Count Galvez's ability to think and execute becomes amazing.

The next day, 900 rifles, 200 pistols, and 12 light guns, which were missing from the contract, were sent to the warehouse rented by Lorraine by a group of strange workers.

Along with the guns came a young and proud clerk, with his head held high, who brought Lorraine a long-term supply contract.

The contents of the contract did not surprise Lorraine.

The supplier was Queen Mary's dealer, who held 30% of the smuggled supplies, and the operating model was primitive and subcontracted, and he had the goods on hand at any time, and Lorraine's needs were very small for him.

The delivery period is 45 days, which is in line with the contract period in Baltimore. The price, as Lorraine had expected, used the so-called market standard, the purchase price of the old Baltimore contract.

In the heart, this kind of behavior borders on blackmail.

The difference between the ex-factory price of a gun and the final selling price is the profit, and in the case of Charville, for example, the profit for a single gun is fifty-four pounds.

In a normal trading chain, it is obviously impossible for this spread to be monopolized by one company.

Lorraine and the Earl adopt a special case of cooperation before money, and the proportion of the share is forty-six, the Drake Chamber of Commerce has forty percent, and the Count independently bears the economic risk before settlement.

And mainstream smuggling is reversed.

Because suppliers are reluctant to take any risk in the transaction and generally do not franchise, smugglers will often demand 50 or 60 percent of the profits, or even 70 percent on particularly high-risk routes.

Lorraine didn't know how the Count had talked to the dealer, but it was surprising that he wouldn't reveal the contents of the new contract.

In the case of the old contract, Piaget's rhetoric is very limited, and it can only be said that the purchaser has a greater demand and needs to transfer part of the supply from outside.

If it is only once, it is natural for the transferor to occupy all the benefits. But now that it is a long-term supply contract, even if the identity of Piaget's agent and the face of Count Louisiana are not considered, a reasonable share of profits is necessary.

That's why it's interesting.

Carmen flipped through the contract with her little finger cocked, her good-looking nose slightly wrinkled.

"The dealer...... Carlton. Feng. Habsburg? Her face couldn't hide the strange color, "It turns out that even the most famous family can give birth to fools." ”

Lorraine yawned lazily: "That lady is the daughter of the Habsburgs, I want to hold the money bag in my hand to make her feel at ease." ”

"Short-sighted business philosophy." Carmen unceremoniously asserted, "It's just that my elder, why are you flirting with the Count in Baton Rouge?" He can't replace blood trust, and even if he does, it won't do us much good. ”

"Because of it...... The Count is a fighter. ”

Looking at the increasingly full warehouse, Lorraine smiled.

"Count is a good man, wise, reliable, and manipulative, as you can tell from the Battle of New Orleans."

"But he has a big flaw, he has a weak personality, and he steals peace. He was too easily depraved when there was no external threat, and we danced on the tightrope in the Atlantic, and he was so busy setting up his new estate that he did it himself. ”

"Such people can't be our barriers."

"So I have to cheer him up, collect the big money, and do something good."

He leaned close to Carmen, smelled the refreshing scent, and clicked on a line of the contract.

Carmen was curious to look.

"The settlement payment is for a period of 60 days, and the overdue payment will be increased by 1.7% per day to calculate the rolling interest?"

"The privilege of buying before paying." Lorraine shrugged her shoulders, "Look, our count still has face. If it weren't for him, who would have let the great Habsburgs take the risk for smuggling? ”

……

While Lorraine was busy running for supplies, the rest of the ship was not idle.

New Orleans is the city of freedom, with red lights, wine green, and empty desires.

The most common shops here are bars, and the streets of the town can be found in the streets of the town, from high-end liquor stores with clean windows to stinking underground pubs.

Balrambas's Daydream is a speakeasy located in a nondescript alley with a humble business. Zero Zero Book House

At night, Bell pushed open the sliding door of the bar, pushed away the drunken contacts all the way, and sat straight to the empty table at the bar.

"A glass of rum, two spoonfuls of tomato juice, and a spoonful of salt."

The bartender raised his eyebrows and looked over: "Guest, I seem to have heard of this way of drinking for the first time, invented by the French?" ”

"Invented by a lion."

The waiter quickly came up and led him into a semi-enclosed booth in the corner of the bar, where someone had arrived before him, and it was Sergeant Amani, who had been guarding Shaq in Plymouth.

Of course, now he has been promoted to the captain of the assault boat on the Lion, and even the rank of captain is also a captain.

Seeing that it was an old acquaintance, Bell immediately revealed his true form, threw his body on the sofa, and smashed his boots on the round table with a snap: "Captain Amani, why did the Admiral send you?" ”

Amani scratched his head shyly.

"A few days ago, the Admiral received a letter from the Major from the No. 3 Formation, because the Lion is still at sea, and there are not many people around him who can be used for personal affairs, so he chose me to ......."

"Hey, in order to master the fleet as soon as possible, did you spill all the old people?"

"If it weren't for that, you wouldn't have been able to get in touch with the Admiral so quickly."

"It's also ......" Bell retracted his leg helplessly, "Let's get down to business first, Lorraine was secretly involved in arms smuggling to the Continental Army, on a large scale, I heard...... Covered all the sea goods. ”

∑ (〟〇О〇): "He ...... Treason? ”

"It's not treason, is it? Nominally in charge of smuggling was a man named Edward. Louisiana Farmer of Kenway, and Lorraine. Drake doesn't have anything to do with it. ”

"Shield?"

"No, Edward is himself."

ヽ(#'Д ́)ノ: "Isn't that treason!" ”

"Fake identities, black ships, and beautiful cross-dressing." "As long as you don't get caught, who can make false accusations between a sneaky smuggler and the most popular Le François hero in recent times?" ”

"It's ......" Amani's mind was a little messy, "Lorraine. Drake was involved in smuggling, and single-handedly took over the most feared of the Continental Army...... The Admiral's recent core defense has been to crack down on smuggling. Could it be that the Admiral had known about Lorraine for a long time? Drake's matter, the purpose of strictly investigating smuggling is to persuade him to change his ways? ”

Bell's heart was dead for a moment.

He sighed heavily: "Anyway, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, you go to the port authority to transfer a Spanish merchant ship named the Jackdaw, which is the smuggling ship of Lorraine." ”

"The registered owner's name is Donna. Linka is a Spanish pirate Caterina. Dipo's pseudonym is now Lorraine's first mate. ”

"New Orleans has a permanent point of contact, and I'll send a message before every flight, and the next one is tomorrow at 8:30 a.m."

"According to the plan, a single trip from here to Baltimore takes 11 days, and the outbound journey generally does not exceed 8 days, and the normal 7 days, and the Admiral can arrange defense according to this time."

Speaking of this, Bell's eyes suddenly sharpened: "Amani! ”

"In!"

"The problem between the Drake brothers is very complicated, even if it is a confidant, I advise you not to get involved lightly. Your task is to convey and pass on my information to the Admiral, as it is, as for whether to arrest or release, it is the Admiral's business, and you don't need to ask. ”

"Yes!" Amani was shocked by Bale's eyes, a good strong man, and his voice was stunned and spit out a trill, "What if...... Major, what if the Admiral asks for my opinion? ”

"See what happened to me? It was because of my mouth that I ate the soil on Lucy's plantation for a whole month, and it almost became fertilizer for alpine coffee beans...... This pair of brothers is dangerous, and you have to learn to be loyal and keep your distance. ”

"Yes...... Be! Major! ”

A little over an hour later, a drunken Bell staggered out of the bar and disappeared into the end of the dark alley.

After a long time, Henna's murmur could be heard in the shadows of the bar's roof.

"Two days in a row, at the same time, at the same bar, and nothing other than that."

"Looks like we'll have to take a little bit of time for Desai and Soland next time, Bale. Judea, I always felt that he was hiding something......"
