Unexpectedly, Duheng was able to tame such a beast.

Adam sat back, his feet on the crate, and shivered at the bright store signs inside.

"You're going to take all my shops?"

"Oh, no, my lord, we don't have the financial resources yet, and we can only afford to rent a certain part of it."

They didn't dare to do it, in fact, they also came because they thought that the land price of Lion Candle Street was not high, and when Duheng heard this answer, he immediately showed a deep expression of disappointment.

"Well, my lord, we can contact other friends."

"Alright, alright."

Adam frowned and waved his arms, spreading his hands as he zoomed out his vision.

"Listen, I have an interesting suggestion. I want to take care of all your supplies, shops, permanent laborers, and even all of you here. ”

The vendors' eyes widened, and they got up and almost fled, even knocking over two cups of black tea as a result.

"Oh, hahaha, don't get me wrong, it's not a threat or a forcible possession."

He couldn't laugh or cry.

The bosses in front of him, who are usually respectable figures, can only sit back trembling at the moment, and their bodies and brains are extremely alert.

"Your business, in my opinion, is too small, and I was serious just now, I don't need too many friends, I just need your talents, it's enough!"

Adam spoke softly and warmly, as if to soothe a few frightened rabbits.

"I'm the caretaker of Lion Candle Street, and the bay is thriving again, and I have a neighborhood under my command that is being rebuilt, with minimal taxes and a lot of storefronts."

The vendors could not perceive the malice, so they could only listen quietly, or nod their heads with their porcelain cups.

"So, your resources, and the price I pay, are slightly tilted in my favor on the scales.

Don't be pretentious, spread everything out on the table, gather all the strength, we can make up for each other's shortcomings, and in the blink of an eye, we can wipe out those hoarded stocks. ”

He rotated his hands in front of his chest.

"No matter how much you grow and develop, other retail investors in the bay can be compared, and when the time comes, how many golden crows will you be able to squander?"

"No, we're fine now."

The vendors were not arrogant, but they did not dare to face this madness.

"Really? Sir, your clothes are beautiful, with very little style and wear, and it seems that business has been booming lately. ”

Adam cocked his feet, his fingers slightly intertwined, revealing confidence and fierceness.

"Sundries, armor, food and live poultry, and people who have rented big ships and have a lot of connections in the waterways, right?"

Every time a short sentence popped up, a vendor frowned slightly, as if he had been hit in the soft underbelly - this young man, who was not at all as young as he imagined, had even investigated himself.

Laurie silently brought the tray and collected the debris.

He arranged the new porcelain cups neatly, filled them with mint water and barley tea in turn, and did not forget to hook a few people to mix honey.

Everyone paid attention to Duheng, and no one looked down, and no one noticed that what they drank today was very much in line with their usual tastes.

Since Duchen's takeover, Laurie hasn't spoken.

He is the same as always: gentle and calm, not impatient, not idle.

Laurie asks for very little, but understands what others have and want......

Adam continued to use the information he had gotten.

"Listen, two ships sank in the bay yesterday, and the shopkeeper of that shipment lost his life, and the body hung on the mangroves, and if you look out of this window, you may be able to see it."

The vendor lowered his posture and whispered a few words earnestly, and they had heard about it.

"Please, please think for yourself, there are warlords and bandits on the land, and there are piles of rotten people on the sea, and those bizarre weather and accidents are going to eat people and swallow ships.

Even if you can get to Hong Kong in a good way, what about the return trip?

Nagilfa has more than just a skull bay.

The Vicky Shipyard, the Death Reefs, the Zedeta Sanctuary, oh my God, did I say anything about other small islands and mysterious unknowns? That's got to be a lot of power, and there's a potential threat. ”

Adam waited quietly.

The vendors sighed for a long time, and everyone in the room had the same experience - constantly looking at the ocean and worrying every day under the oil lamp and moonlight.

"But we can't be so scared as to sell ourselves to you because of these difficulties!"

"Hahaha, tsk, to be honest, you don't have that qualification to be favored by me."

Adam is still pressuring, and his arrogant and strong attitude can let these old fritters who are accustomed to wind and rain know who the power is.

"It's collaboration! You let go for me to integrate resources, heroically gnaw the goods, and encounter some accidents in the middle, the loss is mine, and I will bear all the risks! ”

He stood up as he spoke, blocking out half of the sun.

Seabirds hovering over the sparkling sea out of sight, and the multi-layered scenery is much more spectacular than Dan de Leon.

The vendors could only see Gao Jun's back, the straight scabbard at his waist, feel the suffocating pressure, and hear Duheng's last exhortation in their ears.

"High pay, high risk, high profit.

Make a choice, do you want to continue to be scared, or do you want to go out and make a lot of money? No one can predict the next death, but you are lucky to meet me. ”

The room fell silent, but every knuckle and the burning ring were scorched.

At the end, the whispered discussion finally ended.

The man with the most abundant resources among the vendors stepped forward, approached Duheng with his hand, and said with a serious expression.

"You're right, we're willing to try, but that has to be guaranteed by Captain Leslie."

Adam didn't look back, put his hand on the window frame, and replied lukewarmly.

"Yes, I'll report back to her."

"We'll wait, it's a pleasure to talk at noon today, may the Mother of the Sea bless you, Mr. Duheng."

[Failed trade negotiations]

You'll need more Gulf prestige, and the captain's approval, to make things easy and allow the precinct to continue to grow. 】

Polite closing remarks were exchanged and the vendors left with a shock that did not dissipate.

Laurie finished the table, sat down across from Duchen, and pushed over a glass of distilled pure water, adding a little Polong juice and Dream Leaver leaves, which could relieve the negative emotions caused by stress.

"Sir, did you pretend to be that style just now, or did you really play it?"

Adam motioned for the other party to finish, and he picked up the cup, his aggressive appearance had disappeared, and he was a little tired at this time.

"Laurie, that's what you're saying. Could it be that your meticulousness and forbearance are pretended? ”

"Of course not, I don't mean to be offended. It's just that your usual gentleness towards people is very real, and the momentum just now can't be hidden. Which, closer to you? ”

Laurie wanted to be clearer.

He is always like this, he is only good at preparation, not good at using information, he prefers careful observation and silent operation to negotiation and pressure.

Adam pursed his lips and nodded, looking serious.

"If I have the opportunity to meet the priest in person, I will relay the question and tell you the answer."

The two looked at each other for a moment, then stroked their palms and laughed.

Use this not-so-serious joke to make the mood better.

Adam's suggestion is different from the previous operating model of the Gulf, or rather, no one would play such a big game - in a world where survival is difficult, power is more trustworthy than loyalty.

"Come on, it's getting late, tell me anything else. When you're done, go early and enjoy a good drink, and I'll pay the bill. ”

"Huh? I've finished talking about what you mean, the vendors. ”

Laurie tilted his head and smiled, as if he didn't understand what he meant.

Adam checked the map in his head again, and the blue dot beyond the wall was real, and it moved very little.

Now, it was his turn to wonder.

"So, the person next door isn't the visitor you arranged? Heh, he's been there from beginning to end. ”
