nbsp; "You can't put a cannon on my ship?" Aiken shouted as he entered.

Gao Hongsheng looked at Albert a little blankly, it was really Aiken's London English, and he didn't understand anything except a few words.

Albert turned to Gao Hongsheng and said, "He won't let us load machine guns on the ship." ”

Gao Hongsheng looked at Aiken, shook his head firmly and said: "No, the machine gun must be installed, this is our safety guarantee, God knows what you will encounter, that thing is much stronger than not that." ”

Albert nodded and translated Gao Hongsheng's meaning, but Aiken roared after listening to it: "No, no one dares to provoke the ships of the British Empire at sea, aren't they afraid of the wrath of the British Empire?" ”

Albert dodged, dodged the foaming stars spewed by Aiken, and smiled and translated his words to Gao Hongsheng, Gao Hongsheng looked at the angry Aiken after listening, shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and said: "Sue him, I just can't hire a warship to protect it, otherwise I will hire a warship to follow you to Paris, damn British." ”

Albert listened to Gao Hongsheng's words, laughed, and translated Gao Hongsheng's words while laughing, this time it was Aiken's turn to be dumbfounded, what kind of person is this, how can he think of a mercenary ship to escort him, is he transporting a shipload of gold?

But the stubborn Aiken did not give up his opinion because of Gao Hongsheng's ridicule, and said loudly: "No need sir, I think my ship is not necessary, mine is an all-steel steamship, not those ships with sails, it is very strong." Mr. ”

"No, Aiken, your ship is quite good, or we wouldn't have found you, sir. But I need a little bit of armament to keep us absolutely safe, and you know that your ship is a gift for an empress, and I don't want the slightest bit of a difference, you know? Captain Aiken. Gao Hongsheng bit out the word captain in English.

"What the hell did you ship, Gao?"

"The value of something that you will be amazed at when you see it lies not in its own sake, but in its painstaking efforts, which some scientists have spent a year using new technology and new technology to produce. It is the only finished product among thousands of waste products, a jīng beautiful artwork that transcends this era. I can't estimate its value, and it cost me £10,000 just to get used to the rough seas. How much do you say it's worth? Gao Hongsheng said sternly word by word.

"Ten thousand pounds in packaging, are you sure? It cost 10,000 pounds for its packaging alone? Aiken asked nervously, a little overwhelmed.

"That's right, Captain Aiken. It's worth at least £10,000 in packaging, at least that's what I think, it's the only thing in this world, you know? Captain Aiken. Gao Hongsheng continued to say sternly with a straight face.

"Okay, high. If you give me another thousand pounds, my ship will be tossed as you like. Aiken began to bang the bamboo poles.

Gao Hongsheng looked at Aiken, smiled on his face, and said with a smile: "Captain Aiken, do you have any problems?" If I need help to speak, I don't mind helping a great captain if I can. ”

Aiken was a little seen through, and smiled awkwardly: "No, no, the devil is high." Your name is now known to everyone in Tianjingwei, I really didn't expect you to be like this, I thought the person who invented that roulette wheel was a villain. Aiken changed the subject.

"Alright, don't go around the bush with me, just say it. Captain Aiken, I'll see if I can help you out if you're in trouble, we're going to be on the same boat for weeks. Gao Hongsheng said kindly.

"Hey! All right. Now that you can see it, I won't hide it from you. Gao, I did get into a bit of trouble, here's the thing,......。 ”

Aiken was a little embarrassed to tell Gao Hongsheng about him.

After listening to Aiken's story, Gao Hongsheng pursed his lips and said with a sneer: "Captain Aiken, you may be a good captain, but you are definitely not a good businessman, you have been deceived, and it is a scam that cannot be extricated, you have to pay the rest of the accounts obediently, I also know why you opened a new ship and ran to Asia." Ha ha. ”

Aiken's deception is too simple in modern times, and a gang of swindlers sold a ship that was not too advanced to Aiken at a high price.

They specifically deceive these technical talents who think they are superior in ability, but they are stupid people who can't get through the business.

This is a verification ship for a new type of ship in a shipyard, that is, a test ship for a new type of ship in the shipyard.

When the verification was over, some minor problems were corrected and directly dealt with at a low price, and then a group of scammers bought them and sold them to Aiken, the captain who was looking forward to the new ship, at a high price.

In fact, it is equivalent to Aiken spending a high price to buy someone else's test ship, and the brother ship of this test ship will be mass-produced in a year, and the price he buys is likely to be two to three times that of a new ship, which is simply a big complaint.

What's even more terrifying is that after his own money is not enough, he was kind enough to lend him 50,000 pounds, but the interest rate is frighteningly high, of course, the collateral is this boat, if he can't repay 50,000 pounds in a year, then the boat will not belong to him.

Now he has been running for half a year but has only earned less than 10,000 pounds, and it is impossible to make 50,000 pounds in a year, and what is even more deceptive is that those people are really afraid that he can earn the rest of the money in Europe, and set up a trap to direct him to this distant place in China, and even more hateful things, and he also made some tricks on the goods, and as a result, this trip was originally a 5,000 pound fare, not only did he not earn a penny, but he also had to lose 3,000 pounds, and now he didn't even have a pound sterling in his hand, and he didn't even have the money to add coal in Tianjing Port. I'm going to die of sleepiness.

Gao Hongsheng was able to let go of such a good opportunity, and after laughing at Aiken, he looked at the cramped Aiken and said: "Hahaha, Aiken, in this way, I will repay the 50,000 pounds loan for you, of course, I will account for fifty percent of the shares of your ship, how about it?" ”

"What? You want to pay my debts for you, but you want fifty percent of my ship for fifty thousand pounds? No, no. Aiken immediately reluctant.

"Captain Aiken, your ship was purchased for 150,000 pounds, don't you think you bought it very high? The price of a new ship should not exceed 100,000 pounds, shouldn't I get 50 per cent of the shares for 50,000 pounds? ”

“…………”

After some bargaining between Aiken and Gao Hongsheng, Gao Hongsheng finally successfully invested in Aiken's new ship "Crescent" at a price of 50,000 pounds and 40%.

Gao Hong's investment in this ship also has his own purpose, you must know that in the future, you will have to trade with Europe, and it will not work without a ship that knows the roots.

In particular, he figured out that Aiken bought a new ship for Feng Laosi and them, you must know that Feng Laosi and they were the crew members who survived the First Sino-Japanese Naval War, but if you fly the flag of the Qing Dynasty on the route to Europe, I don't know how much anger you will have to suffer, but if you have a good relationship with Aiken, and when the time comes, you will run around the world under the banner of the British Empire, it will be awesome.
