Chapter 588: Fooling the Smart Man (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Subscription)
"Well, I think eighty percent of the people who can provide so many spices now can't be any region on the mainland, only the Far East can provide so many sources."
Faced with this situation, Scarlett could only pretend to be helpless and say.
"I remember that the storm must have affected the pirates of the Far East as well, how could they recover so easily?"
The scope of the storm was beyond anyone's imagination, not only the entire west coast of the continent, but also the southern seas, and it is said that the pirates of the Far East also suffered heavy losses in this storm.
In the face of Feztier's question, Scarlett chose not to explain, she could only guide Fitzteler to dispel the idea of exploring the source of spices, and could not force Fitztierer to believe, so she couldn't explain more, that would seem too deliberate. On the contrary, if she is ambiguous, it may be better.
"So how do I know? Since the great storm has passed, our maritime information network has long been gone, not to mention the news from the Far East, then I am even less clear. ”
Fitzteler knew that what Scarlett said was right, the news from the Far East was not the focus of the shadow thief's collection of news in the first place, and now the news network at sea had long been fed in the sea because of the storm, and it was normal for Scarlett not to know.
"Aren't the losses of the pirates in the Far East as serious as we think? Or have they recovered? Fitztimeler sat there talking to himself for all sorts of reasons.
To deal with this kind of smart person, don't tell him everything, but throw an ambiguous clue to him, so that this smart person will naturally unconsciously make up the rest of the matter, and will be convinced.
This is the best way to fool the smart man, let him fool himself. There was no doubt that Scarlett did a great job, and Fitztier's mind was really misguided, and he no longer wondered where the goods were, but wondered how the pirates in the Far East recovered.
Scarlett's goal was achieved, no matter what Fitzteler thought about how the Far Eastern pirates resumed their activities, it was impossible for him to rob Soram's supply, and the other Scarlett were not worried.
Just as Fitzteler was groaning, one of the councillors became impatient, and he said a little complaining: "Boss, what about those pirates in the Far East, it has nothing to do with us, right?" Do you worry about them? ”
Fitztel also came to his senses at this time, the councillor was indeed right, the Far Eastern pirates affected them no matter what, and the only thing to worry about now was how much spice Soram could get from the Far Eastern pirates.
is still the same sentence, if there are not many spices, the three achievements of their shadow thieves are meaningless, then they retreat so much, isn't it a big wrong?
"Scarlett, can you be sure how much spice they can get?"
"Not sure, but, listening to Nazaire, the only restriction they have is that they don't have enough ships, and according to them, as long as there are enough ships, then the cargo is not a problem. I think there should be moisture in this, but with the confidence they say, even if there is moisture, it shouldn't be too much. This time Andre had already secured three ships, and Nazaire meant that they would go to sea soon, and within two months, they would be able to bring back four ships of spices. ”
Although it is not clear how much cargo Andre has managed to carry three seagoing ships, it is no problem that four ships can bring back at least 50,000 pounds of spices, and in any case, it is an ocean-going sea vessel that should carry this cargo.
50,000 pounds! Even if it's only thirty percent, it's almost more than 16,000 pounds of spices, which is a lot of income for the shadow thief!
Hearing this, the eyes of all the parliamentarians lit up! More than 16,000 pounds of spices, no matter what, the headquarters can't eat them all, right? These councillors can divide five or six thousand pounds to say the least, although they are divided equally among each councillor, not much, but the problem is that this is only the beginning.
As Scarlett said, Solam is just limited by the number of ships and the cargo capacity is insufficient, what if the ships go up? Thinking about the future prospects, these parliamentarians are all in a hot mood.
"So, you have faith in them?" Fetztimeler still said with a little doubt, it is really a bit too scary, at this time to say that the cargo control is enough, Fetzteler is not wrong to doubt it.
"No, I don't have much confidence, in fact, I don't care about it." Unexpectedly, Scarlett gave Fitztierer an opposite answer.
"Oh? Then why did you promise them? Fitzjelle was a little surprised by Scarlett's answer, and he thought that Scarlett had trusted them in making such a decision.
"Because we paid less, you think I gave in a lot, but in my opinion, how much did we really give? Of those conditions, only helping them raise ships and land in the dock area is a bit tricky, and the rest of the things really require a lot of energy for us? ”
Indeed, this contract seems to be a lot of concessions to the shadow thief, but in the calculation, the shadow thief does not have to pay a lot, what to protect Solam's business and prevent the gangster forces from disturbing Solam's business. Is this a thing? What the shadow thief can do with a single sentence doesn't take much effort at all.
"In fact, we don't have to pay too much for both the ship and the turf. What is the market of the ship now, I won't say it, with Andre's relationship, plus taking money to smash, it's just three boats, it's all good luck, the original shipowner's business went wrong, so Andre picked up the cheap, there will be this kind of thing in the future, who can say accurately? ”
"When the time comes, we will put on our face, just put it on the line, anyway, according to the current market, it is good luck for us to get a boat, and it is normal if we can't get it, what can they say? Let's talk about the land in the dock area, who is not giving that piece of land, as long as he gives money and doesn't make trouble for us, do we need to care about who the land in the dockland area is? ”
Scarlett said a lot in one breath, so she paused for a moment to let the others digest it, and then continued.
"So, we seem to have given in a lot, a bit of a loss of face, but so what? We can't afford to lose this face? And, what if they did succeed? Then this little face can bring us hundreds of thousands of benefits, and it will be even more in the future, so if we execute the contract, there will be nothing. ”
Hearing Scarlett's words, everyone fell into deep thought, and finally Fizsterler agreed with Scarlett's statement and asked the other councillors to sign their names, but Fizsterle didn't sign it, and he wanted to see Soram before talking.
**************
Fitztierer and Soram's meeting was quickly arranged by Scarlett, and they met at Scarlett's territory, an upscale brothel in the business district.
The best place to gather intelligence is undoubtedly this kind of place, and when a man is there, the guardiness is always the lowest.
The brothel, called "The Blushing Mermaid", is a famous gold cave in the business district, where men can experience women of all races, from the tall beauties of the North to the mysterious elves of the forest.
Even for some guests with special fetishes, there are also beasts, orcs and other hardcore races.
When Soram first arrived, he really gained a lot of knowledge.
A passage that is not very wide, with spacious rooms on both sides. The prostitutes who have not yet received the guests are standing in front of the door in various seductive poses and are constantly using words ** the passing guests.
Solam only felt a burst of heat all over his body, and subconsciously swallowed his saliva. After all, this is the first time that Soram has visited such a place, he has always been in a bar to find prey before, and he has never been to such a professional place.
That's not all, it's even more exciting. Those rooms are specially built, especially the main door, these doors are very different from ordinary doors, a bit like the kind of sliding door of the small (Japanese) book, if closed, everything in the room is isolated, and even the sound cannot be heard.
But some guests are more unrestrained, those who have sliding doors are so wide open, they don't care about showing others at all, maybe they just want others to see it.
Along the dimly lit corridors, they soon came to the central hall, which was even more exciting, and on the high platform of the hall, several men and women performed special performances in front of everyone.
These people kept putting on all kinds of difficult poses, and their cries were higher and higher. ** The guests on the side watched with relish, and some people who couldn't stand it even grabbed the woman next to them directly, no matter who she was, and came up and started the primitive movement.
It's so depraved that Solam, the old driver, can't stand it. Thankfully, they didn't bring Loris, otherwise they would have destroyed the brothel.
Not long after Soram walked to the hall, a woman wearing gauze erotic underwear walked over in a curling manner, although the dress looked like erotic underwear, but the problem was that this underwear was too sexy.
At a glance, every part of the woman's body is unobstructed, and that layer of tulle does not have any concealing effect at all.
"Is it Lord Solam?" The woman gracefully walked up to Soram, looked Soram up and down with big watery eyes, and then asked softly.
When Soram saw her squirming waist, he was a little worried about whether the woman would break her waist while walking.
"Uh...... I am! Solam was a little fascinated by this woman, so he couldn't answer this woman's question in the first place. Solam himself feels a little ashamed, he can be regarded as a master who has seen the world, do you want to look so earthy.
Seeing Solam's shy and annoyed expression, the woman covered her mouth and laughed vividly, Solam's performance made the woman classify him as the first brother at the first time.
They especially like this kind of first brother who came for the first time, not because they have any other ideas, but because they like to see their expressions that are both nervous and longing.
It's like those men have a virgin complex, and human beings have that bad taste for polluting pure things.
