Chapter 81: Business
Chapter 81 Business
"What? Do you want to worship me as a teacher? β
Lin was reading the newspaper in the captain's room, but Anilu came running over and asked Lin to be his teacher.
Lin couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing Anilu's reasoning.
"This kid can be honest!"
Although there is not much age difference between Anilu and Lin, Anilu is obviously still a child's mentality, and after listening to Kaba's words, he wanted to come to Lin to apprentice, and the reason was impossible to evaluate, and the apprentice was just to increase his strength and be able to pull the cable, what? Can you be ambitious?
Lin smiled bitterly and said:
"Anilu, do you know what it means to be apprenticed?"
Anilu shook his head and said:
"I don't know."
Lin chuckled and said:
"Apprenticeship means that you are my subordinate, do you understand what this means?"
Anilu thought for a moment, nodded, and said:
"Understood, I'll follow you in the future, right?"
"Uh, that's a good summary!" Lin smiled bitterly.
Immediately, Lin put away the smile on his face and sat upright, staring at Anilu with both eyes.
"Anilu, have you really decided? Apprenticeship is no joke. β
Under Lin's eyes, Anilu seemed to feel the harshest torture, but he still puffed out his chest and said:
"I've already figured it out."
Lin smiled and said:
"Okay, I'll take you, from today onwards, you will be my eldest disciple, and you will have to call me Master in the future."
"Yes, Master."
"I didn't expect me to be a master too, but I'm still the master of Anilu, it's really interesting!" Lin sighed.
Luo Ya walked into the captain's room and saluted:
"Colonel Lin, the 77th Division is almost here, and there is still about half an hour to go."
"Half an hour." Lin took his eldest disciple Anilu and followed Luo Ya to the deck.
Lin picked up the binoculars and looked into the distance.
"Eh, here? Is it Division 77? β
The shadow of an island suddenly appeared in the telescope, and Lin asked, pointing to the island.
Luo Ya picked up the chart and looked at it, and said:
"Colonel, this is the village of Cocoia, and I heard that the oranges there taste good."
"Cocosia Village?" Lin said in surprise.
"Isn't that Nami's village?"
For Nami, the little thief cat, Lin still has a deep memory, Nami was abandoned since she was a child, adopted by Berummel, and later the Fish-Man Pirates split, Aaron came to Cocosia Village, dominated here, and killed Nami's adoptive mother Berummel, let Nami help her own life, and finally defeated Aaron with the help of Luffy.
"Ah Long shouldn't have been here yet!"
Lin was a little unsure, but he really hadn't heard of the split of the Fish-Man Pirates.
"Roya, head towards the island!" Lin turned around and said to Luo Ya.
Although he didn't know what Lin wanted to do, Luo Ya still maintained the basic quality of a soldier and did not question the orders of his superiors.
"Yes, Colonel Lin."
"Helmsman, turn the rudder 30 degrees to the right and go with all your might."
The helmsman was instructed to sail the warship towards the village of Cocosia.
The pier in the village of Cocoia.
An old man dressed as a village chief said to a mustache in a suit and leather shoes with sunglasses: "Boss, why has the purchase price been lowered again, didn't you say that you would have fifty Baileys for a pound of oranges?" Why did it come down to forty Baileys again? β
Glancing at the small eyes under the mustache's sunglasses, he touched his beard, "Hey, old turtle from the countryside." β
The old man was despised in his heart, but the mustache had a wry smile on his face.
"Village chief, it's not easy for us to run the sea business! It's great that this shipload of oranges can be safely transported to its destination, but if we run into pirates along the way, we will lose all our money. β
With a sad face, the mustache continued:
"Don't say anything else, let's just talk about the last time, a whole shipload of goods, let the pirates rob it, in addition to the goods, but also lost a boat, who do we talk to."
The village chief saw that the mustache said so miserably, and he was embarrassed to raise the price again.
The mustache looked at the village elder and sneered in his heart:
"Hey, hey, fight me."
Although the East China Sea is the weakest sea, there are still pirates, but it is difficult for ordinary people to encounter, and the villagers of Cocosia Village have almost never been to sea in their lives, and they can only hear about the horror of pirates from the news, so the village chief is also convinced of Mustache's words.
But he didn't know that running a business was as simple as he thought.
The most important thing for a company that runs by sea is not the cargo, but the safe route.
Mustache's company has long been set up everywhere, even if it encounters pirates, it can pass safely, not at all what he said, Mustache said this just to lower the purchase price so as to obtain greater profits.
The climate in Cocosia is very pleasant, which is very suitable for the growth of oranges, and a large number of oranges are sold throughout the year.
Since taking over the acquisition channel here, Mustache has made a lot of money and is very happy, and the villagers of Cocosia Village are very grateful to Mustache.
While reaping the gratitude of the village and reaping a lot of profits, the mustache continued to keep the price down.
From the two hundred Baileys per pound of oranges at the beginning, the price of the mustache has been lowered to forty Baileys one after another, and the naΓ―ve villagers of Cocosia Village are stupid to think that the mustache has really been robbed by pirates!
"Eh, the warship, the warship is coming."
The mustache was smug when he heard the voices of the ship's crews carrying the cargo.
When the mustache looked back, his heart jumped, but there was no expression on his face.
"Hurry up, move quickly." The mustache turned back and shouted at the boatmen.
The warship slowly approached, and Lin walked down with Anilu and Roya.
Seeing the huge warship behind Lin, the mustache swallowed his saliva.
"What kind of big guy is such a big warship?"
Lin looked at the busy people on the dock and came to the village chief.
"Hello, did you know that there is a man named Berumel in the village?"
