"Knock knock—"

"Mr. Luo? Mr. Lowe! At this time, the old captain Oliver suddenly became a little distracted when he saw Luo Fei's appearance, and hurriedly tapped the table in front of him a few times, so that he could focus on what was in front of him.

"Oh, oh! I'm sorry! Luo Fei, who had come to his senses from the deduction he had just made, hurriedly apologized to Oliver.

"Ahem!" And Oliver couldn't guess what Luo Fei was thinking just now, so he cleared his throat and said, "If a ship wants to sail on the sea, it will definitely not work without sailors, and this tavern is where you can gather sailors!" ”

"So, how much does that sailor cost a day?" Luo Fei, as the default captain of the four-person team, saw that the other three were still looking at him and didn't speak, so he had to ask about the matter related to employment.

"The accepted price is one silver coin per sailor per day, but if it is a helmsman, surveyor, lookout, cook, etc., with special abilities, it is necessary to pay much more than one silver coin." Oliver said without thinking, after all, he was already an old captain who had sailed countless days and moons on the voyage.

"And if I want to have those people you configured on the ship before, how much will it cost about per day?" Since Oliver had just mentioned too many professions, Luo Fei had an idea, and remembered that the people on the ship were all hired by Oliver at the beginning of the script, so he wanted to ask about it as a whole.

"You said the Seagull, those people! These were my old acquaintances, most of whom had sailed with me more than ten times, so the price was slightly lower than the admitted, and with the twenty-five sailors of the Seagull, plus the helmsman, surveyor, lookout, and cook, thirty-three men, I would have to pay 60 silver coins a day for manpower alone. Oliver thought for a moment and said.

"What about eating, drinking, and other expenses at sea?" Luo Fei tried his best not to omit important expenditure items, after all, the task of this script is to make money through trade, and it is the first step to know the possible important expenses in the future, but it is the first step to do a good job.

"10 silver coins a day should be about the same!" It was as if these things had been growing in Oliver's head, so Oliver didn't take long to speak.

"And the exchange ratio of silver and gold coins?" Luo Fei heard that Oliver had been talking about silver coins, but the initial funds given to them by the system were gold coins, so he continued to ask about this.

"In all regions of Europe, it's a 1:100 ratio." Oliver said to Luo Fei.

"Sure enough, the system has been simplified!" Luo Fei thought to himself: "If it were real-world Europe, it would definitely not be able to achieve such a uniform degree of exchange ratio in this era." ”

But since it was in the script, Luo Fei no longer cared about this, he said to Oliver very sincerely: "Okay, I want to hire your original crew for the next three months, please help me contact us, we will purchase the goods tomorrow, and then we will go to sea to trade the day after tomorrow." ”

"Huh? Hahahaha! Oliver made an unanticipated look at first, then laughed heartily, "It's impossible, Mr. Lowe!" These people just came back from the Indian Ocean with me, and they haven't seen their families in a long time! According to my experience, it will take at least half a month before they will accept the next hire! ”

"Half a month?" Luo Fei and the other three companions all showed unacceptable expressions, after all, the mission time was only three months, and waiting for them for half a month was too luxurious!

"Then we hire sailors and cooks, and only your original helmsmen, surveyors, and lookouts, what can you do?" At this time, the girl in green who had not spoken before, who am I, suddenly said.

"If you only invite the three of them, it's not impossible if you are willing to pay a high price, but at least give them three days to reunite with their families." Oliver thought for a moment and said.

"What's your so-called high price?" Luo Fei, who felt that he could wait for three days, continued to ask tentatively.

"At least half of the original price, which is 22.5 silver coins per day for these three people." Oliver thought about it for a little longer this time, as if he was constantly weighing something, until Luo Fei was almost finished drinking a glass of wine, and then gritted his teeth and said.

"If it's just for a month, the price is affordable, but if it's three months, the cost is a bit high!" Who am I Seeing Luo Fei's expression, he seemed to be about to agree, and hurriedly reminded him.

"She's now doing finance in a company." Who do you love Seeing Luo Fei's puzzled gaze, he hurriedly explained who I was.

"That's it!" Luo Fei raised his right hand and stroked his chin, which was his usual action when he was thinking since he was a child: "Then Mr. Oliver, please help us negotiate with them according to the price you just said, and hire them for a month first!" ”

"Okay!" Oliver nodded: "But the price just now is just my personal estimate, they are likely to bid higher than this, maybe there will be other conditions, I told you in advance." ”

"It's okay." Luo Fei made a gesture, signaling who I was just about to speak, don't say it yet, and continued to say to Oliver: "Actually, what I value most is you, uncle, I know that you were originally the captain, but I think you can be the first mate of my ship in the next three months, how much can you make a price!" ”

"Mr. Luo wants to hire me?" Oliver's eyes widened in surprise, and he laughed instead, "With your current financial resources, if you want to hire me for a month, I'm afraid it's not enough!" ”

"You make a price first!" Listening to Oliver's statement must be very cheap, but Luo Fei still insisted on asking.

"Actually, it's been many years since I became the first mate for others!" Seeing that Luo Fei didn't seem to understand his refusal just now, Oliver simply told him directly: "With my sailing experience, it is accepted that the price should be around one gold coin per day!" ”

"Don't think too much." Oliver saw Luo Fei's mouth open slightly, and said with a smile to the tavern owner Tilus beside him, "Tell them, this price is still the price I didn't increase by half!" ”

"Yes, I vouch for my character, Oliver is indeed worth the price!" The tavern keeper Tilus patted his chest and said, "So many merchants would prefer to hire him as a captain and transport goods by themselves than to be the captain themselves and make him the first mate!" ”

"In fact, even if you are the first mate, you still have to listen to him for most things, and I hired him just to learn more." Such an expensive price still did not shake Luo Fei's determination to hire him, he said with a smile: "Then according to what you said, one and a half gold coins a day, but it can only be settled once a week, and it can't be advanced?" ”

"Captain! One and a half gold coins a day can cost 45 gold coins a month! Coupled with the crew employment and daily consumption, it costs 0.9 gold coins per day, and the monthly cost of this alone is 82 gold coins!! ”

After calculating who I am in the center of my heart, I can't help but say it.
