Chapter 30: The March Period
Luo Lan looked at the woman sitting in the corner.
She is really like a leopard, and her demeanor is full of wildness.
Of course, this is not the wildness of the beast, but the sex that belongs to women. The sense of wildness, like a poppy.
Luo Lan walked over and sat across from the woman.
The woman didn't raise her head, she was eating, and the roast beef specially served by the small hotel tasted very good.
Luo Lan smiled: "This beautiful lady, did you not leave because you were eating beef?" ”
The woman snorted, not wanting to deal with Luo Lan.
Luo Lan's gaze swept over the ends of her dusty hair, then over her gobbling down her slender throat, and finally fixed on her drooping cheeks.
The healthy and full wheat color, the faintly revealed snow white, can be called a perfect face, and even the eyelashes are attractive.
It is rare to have such a woman on the sea.
Luo Lan admired in her heart, and the woman opposite had already swallowed the last piece of beef, and she was leaving.
Luo Lan knocked on the table, "We can talk about business, and the first reward I give you is to help you solve the Sea Devil's Fang."
"With your shriveled oranges?"
With a hint of mocking laughter, the woman raised her head and looked directly at Luo Lan with sharp eyes.
"Prince Luo Lan, you don't even know the most basic laws of the sea, on the sea, oranges will rot in just two or three days, do you think it can solve the sea devil's fang?"
The arrogant tone of superiority is very much in line with her character.
The corners of Luo Lan's mouth curved, "What's your name?"
"If you really want to cooperate with the caravan, you should get to know us merchants early, such as me, I have a title at sea, called the Pirate Queen, of course, I am not really a pirate, but the fleet that is weaker than me will be bullied by me."
The Pirate Queen is showing her force to scare the weak Prince.
Luo Lan nodded, "So, what exactly is your name?"
"Love Iman."
Ai Yiman sneered boredly, got up and left, she gave her name to Luo Lan as if she were a charity, and then left.
Luo Lan looked at her back and said, "Lady Ai Yiman, if you master the method of healing the Sea Devil's Fang, you will become a true pirate queen." ”
This made Ai Yiman stop, and she turned back: "Orange? ”
"Something that has the same vitamins as oranges, and it's wine, can be stored for a long time, and you should be able to realize its value."
"Vitamins?"
Ai Yiman turned around, she didn't believe Luo Lan, but Luo Lan's words aroused her interest.
The Kraken's Fang is a problem that any captain would want to solve.
"Yes, vitamins, something in an orange, is like the seeds of an orange. It's a trade secret, so I won't reveal it too much. ”
Luo Lan smiled mysteriously, Ai Yiman pulled the braids on her shoulders behind her shoulders, she walked back and sat opposite Luo Lan.
"If you really have something that can heal the Sea Devil's Fang, I'll buy it for 50,000 gold coins, and we can trade it now."
Fifty thousand gold coins, the purchase is naturally not a "thing", but a "way to make something".
"Your Excellency doesn't need to pay 50,000 gold coins, that thing is called rum, according to my price, one kilogram is only one gold coin, you can buy it from me at a low price, and then sell it at a high price to earn the difference, this is a profitable deal."
Luo Lan entered the gesture of talking about business, and Aiyiman stretched out his fingers with both hands, "Let me look at the goods, if you are satisfied, I will give you 100,000 gold coins, you must know that this is the highest price that my fleet can afford."
100,000 gold coins is indeed a huge amount of money, especially compared to a small fleet. Aiyiman's attention to the "things" mentioned by Luo Lan can be seen.
Of course, when she directly negotiated the price, she was actually testing whether Luo Lan was lying.
Luo Lan still shook her head: "Ms. Aiyiman, you might as well settle in the west coast port of Phuket Island first, we will talk slowly, and I will give you the greatest policy preferences." ”
Luo Lan said, took out the map of Phuket Island from his arms, and he spread it out and pointed to the Rick Special Economic Zone.
Aiman was not very happy to look at the map, but he did it anyway.
After a moment, she was slightly surprised: "You open a new port on the West Coast?" It's a bold move, and if you don't have a fleet, you'll lose all your money. ”
"That's why I came to land to talk about business."
Luo Lan laughed to herself.
Ai Yiman's good-looking eyebrows furrowed, and for the first time, she seriously looked at the legendary prince of scrap wood.
Handsome in appearance, modest in demeanor, frank in smile, can advance or retreat, and has nothing to do with the legend.
Ai Yiman's eyes narrowed, she thought for a while, and showed a meaningful smile towards Luo Lan: "Everyone says you are a waste, it seems that they have misunderstood you." ”
"When people are dismissive of you, that's the best time. In the same way, when everyone doesn't know about rum, that's when you're at your best. ”
Luo Lan was serious, he knew that it was dangerous to talk about business with smart people, but he was also very comfortable, and he didn't need to talk much.
Ai Yiman's back leaned back slightly, and his delicate body was spread out on the chair like a salted fish.
She looked at the ceiling, then at Luo Lan opposite, and then lowered her head and pondered for a long time.
"If there's a rum that can heal the sea devil's fangs, I'll work with you." Ai Yiman put his long sturdy legs on the table, and his boots shook slightly, "I'll go north tomorrow, and I'll go south in three months, and then I'll go to your west coast."
Ai Yiman agreed to cooperate, although she thought about it for a long time, but she still agreed.
She was the sharpest and smartest businessman Luo Lan had ever met.
"It takes more than three years to make authentic rum, but all you want is to prevent the sea devil's fangs, three months is enough, and when you return south, I will invite you to drink rum."
Luo Lan stretched out her big hand, Ai Yiman shook it with him, and the palms of the two were pressed together, and then Ai Yiman naturally pulled it back, and she shook her hand.
"If I don't see the so-called rum in three months, your West Coast port will be void, and I hope you're not lying."
——————
When Aiyiman went north, it was windy, and it was an autumn wind.
Countless sailing ships sailed to the northern country in the wind.
Aiyiman stood on the deck, looking out at Phuket Island in the distance, with a thoughtful look on his face.
At the same time, Luo Lan sailed to Phuket Island in the fisherman's boat.
He only brought the five thousand gold coins that Barron had given him, and as for the ten slave girls, he gave them to Raj, who made Raj think that the eldest prince was cursing with him.
Phuket City.
A sweet girl no more than fourteen or fifteen years old was crouching next to a large pit and watching the workers dig out the rock.
The workers were sweating profusely and panting, and many of their palms were bleeding, but the rock was still unbreakable.
"it, this stone is so hard to dig!"
The workers cursed, and the girl by the pit hurriedly poured a few bowls of water and handed them over.
"Let's ...... first Take a break, don't get tired. ”
The girl is squeamish, a little stammering, and rarely seems to communicate. But in front of the workers in Phuket, she was at ease.
"Daisy, don't squat here and pour water for us, let's play, go to the palace to read, we can do this hard work."
A craftsman laughed as she drank water, and Daisy lowered her head and looked at the rock again.
"We can...... Making explosive bombs blew up these ...... Rocks, no need to dig them. ”
Amid the laughter of the workers, Daisy spoke timidly, but no one heard.
Daisy opened her mouth, then ran away with her little hands in her hands.
