The Story of the Seventh World (52)
Except for a small apartment in London to stay to prevent housing prices from rising, the rest of the fixed assets department will be handed over to the bank for disposal, and the household items and things that cannot be used in the tailor shop will be handled by Rasfar's wife during this time, and they will be sold if they can be sold, and if they can't be sold, they will be given to neighbors.
The most reassuring thing about Rasfar is the animals he raises, and the ferry does not allow medium and large animals to be brought on board. Rasfar found his friend who worked on the ship, and spent some money to allow him to carry 5 medium-sized animals and 10 small animals, which were transported as accompanying cargo.
But this is also a good effort, it is really impossible to increase the number, not that the friends on the ship do not help, but the other party's authority can only do this extent. Even if the other party can help increase the number, it will cost money, and it is impossible for Rasfar to spend more money on transporting animals.
Rasfar needs to spend more money on settling down in the United States.
Golden-headed monkey; short-nosed kangaroo; Blood Wolves; A variety of cherished endangered animals such as thylacine. Rasfar has a plot of land outside of Bridgetown, where he has some animals that he has saved, and some that his friends have given them. Rasfa, who has loved animals since he was a child, has dedicated half of his life to these animals, but fortunately, his wife and children are very supportive.
After deciding that he was going to the United States, Rasfar contacted his brother who was far away in the United States and asked him to help him buy a small farm so that he could house those cute rare animals.
The golden-headed monkey was asked by Rasfar to be taken care of by Paul, and promised to give one to Paul as long as he took care of the monkeys, and the reason why he gave the monkey instead of giving money was Paul's strong request, mainly because Paul planned to sell it to Selena privately.
Paul had met Selena's two servants in private, and had heard that they were collecting rare beasts, even if they were golden-headed monkeys, as long as they were in good condition.
After hearing the news, Paul paid attention everywhere to see if there were any rare and protected animals that were about to be endangered, and maybe he could make a lot of money, do business, and be the boss.
Paul signed a contract with Rasfar, and when Rasfar sent a message from the United States, Paul would transport the golden-headed monkey he had deposited to the other party, and Rasfar would give Paul a golden-headed monkey and pounds, and Paul would pay for all the costs of taking care of the monkey and transporting it. If one of the parties breaches the contract, the other party will be compensated 3,000 pounds and apologize.
Of course, the premise of the contract is that the golden-headed monkey, Paul will choose it himself, and at the same time, after choosing, he will take it away directly, which will be regarded as an advance payment, and Rasfar has no choice but to agree. After all, not everyone he knows knows how to take care of animals.
There are notary offices in any country in the world, and the largest notary office is the International Notary Association, which is a notary association established by all the major countries in the world to guarantee cross-border contracts and conventions, and to sign protection agreements. Each capital has a branch office, and large cities can also apply for it. Notary offices are protected from the effects of war, and in the event of war, a private attack on a notary office will be punished by all signatories. Similarly, national notaries will not be able to participate in any matters relating to the war. In the event of the fall of the country, the notary office of the country will be banned.
Paul's contract with Rasfar was handed over to the London Notary Association's branch, and it was with this guarantee that Rasfar was able to leave for the United States with peace of mind.
Of course, the contract does not necessarily have to be handed over to the notary association, such as the contract between Bob and Selena was not handed over to the notary association, this is because Selena has enough strength to protect her contract, on the other hand, Bob is also afraid that his signboard will be hit and will be ruined by his peers. Another point is that the notary association is not a charity, and there is also a cost, and the fee is calculated according to the value of your contract and the distance and distance, but generally not cross-border, there is still no surcharge.
The Notary Association is a special organization, a borderless organization, and all those who enter the Notary Association must maintain their independence and cannot use the power of the Notary Association to participate in any party or national disputes. You can charge more fees when notarizing, but you can't use it to link it to politics, and you will be fired immediately if you find out, and the disputes arising from this are your personal actions, and the notary association is not responsible.
Slave Quarter
Selina traveled between the shops, all kinds of people were trading here, the state was not unaware, but the high-level also intervened, in the face of high profits, driven by interests, even people who were previously hostile could shake hands and make peace, not to mention just breaking the law and discipline.
Where there is a transaction, there will be a market, this is an immutable law that has existed since there was money. Although Selena is the first time to come to the black market, she has actually dealt with the black market a lot, and her subordinates will come to the black market every once in a while to recruit "new members", and the basic information of the personnel who register and the changes in the black market will be reported to herself, and even the "goods" in which store will be truthfully recorded. There were even brief meetings with certain merchants, but not on the black market.
Walking through the streets of the black market and watching the people come and go, Selena joins in.
Walking up to an oversized black-and-gray tent and looking at the words "Perfect Servant" posted on the tent, Selena knew that this was the name of the shop.
What caught Selena's attention was a little boy, who could be used for words such as indifferent, cold, and unapproachable, six or seven years old, with brown and yellow hair and indifferent eyes staring at people passing by.
I don't know why I just swept my eyes unintentionally, and I was attracted by this child, and the frosty temperament on this child is really unforgettable.
There is a little black dirty mud on the face, it can be seen that the face has been washed before, it is estimated that it was soiled later, and the neck is the most obvious, not to mention clean and beautiful, at least there are no stains on the face.
Dressed in tattered clothes, even if five or six meters away, you can still faintly smell a musty smell. The worn-out and ill-fitting little leather shoes are worn on the feet, which looks nondescript. His ankles were shackled and attached to an unusually heavy-looking cage not far from him.
Through the tattered corners of the clothes, it can be seen that the child is dirty, but neither the dirt on the body nor the clothes can hide the temperament of the child. But the coldness was so strong that even if someone put their attention on him, he quickly gave up, and no one wanted to buy an "ice cube" to go home, even if the ice cube was attractive.
"Barron, you little bastard, with that damn smile on your face, you scared my customers away." A middle-aged man with a chin and beard that could be used as a broom stepped out of the tent and shouted at the locked boy.
The indifferent little face did not change at all, and even the corners of the mouth did not move, and it was completely deaf to the wind. Suddenly, the child moved, and the middle-aged man sat on the ground with his ass in anticipation, and then showed indifference.
"Damn shit, you're a bad guy, and if you still have that ice cube face, you won't eat today." The middle-aged man lifted his foot and wanted to kick him, but finally took a deep breath and put it down.
The middle-aged man thought that if he kicked down, he would have to be treated if he was injured, and if he didn't care about it, he would easily die, and he would pay more, so he would still be hungry! After a short period of starvation, he turned around and walked back to the tent.
Hearing that he was not allowed to eat, the expression on the little boy's face loosened slightly, and he tried to show a smile, but unfortunately it may have been kept the same expression for a long time, and his face was stiff, and it was difficult to show a smile.
"Hello sir!" Selina looked at the middle-aged man's back and said loudly.
The middle-aged man heard someone talking behind him, but he wasn't sure if he was calling himself, so he hesitated, or turned around and saw that it was a person whose body was covered by a robe, and hesitated and asked, "Excuse me, are you calling me?" ”
"Yes, sir! You heard it right! Selena's soft, melodious voice came from inside her robe.
"Lady, is there anything wrong with you?" The middle-aged man asked.
"Sir, is this child for sale?" Selena's body slowly turned the robe towards the handcuffed little Barron.
"Ma'am, you're talking about Barron?" The middle-aged man's gaze stopped at Barron with the turn of Selena's robe, and asked hesitantly.
The middle-aged man was a little unbelievable that someone really wanted to buy this unlucky egg, which was really unimaginable.
Barron was bought by the slaves half a month ago, of course, it was not a gift, according to the agreement should have arrived the day before, and a fine of 50 pounds was imposed if he was late for a day, and the other party said that he did not blame them, who knows what the London police have been crazy about recently, so it was too late to avoid inspection. In the end, both sides took a step back, the money was gone, and the slaves were added with 3 more, which was considered compensation, and Barron was one of them.
Ever since the hapless Barron arrived, his business had gone from bad to worse, not just because of his damn ice face, but because he had found that there had been very few customers all this time, and that happened after Barron arrived. Coupled with Barron's daily ice cube face, the invisible coldness repels people from ten meters away, which affects business very much, which makes the middle-aged man even more convinced that all this is recruited by Barron.
The middle-aged man was very suspicious that Barron was sent by the other party to cause trouble for himself, and he never thought that someone would come to buy Barron, and he thought that in a month and a half, if the business still did not improve, he would give Barron away directly, even if he didn't make money, he would send the unlucky egg away.
I didn't expect good luck to come, someone really wanted to buy this unlucky egg, it seems that God heard the prayer in my heart.
"Ma'am, do you really want to buy this child?" The middle-aged man reconfirmed.
"Yes, sir! I don't think there's anything wrong with my eyesight. Selena said coldly.
"Ma'am, once our goods are sold, they will not be returned." The middle-aged man didn't care about Selena's attitude and said seriously.
While Selena was talking to the middle-aged man, little Barron, who heard their conversation, tilted his little head and looked at the woman in front of him whose face was covered by a cloak, this woman who was going to buy him, he didn't understand why she was different from everyone else, why she didn't hate herself!
But apparently, neither Selena nor the middle-aged man took him seriously, and they didn't even pay attention to his movements, holding their heads in thought.
Little Barron has no right to decide whether he wants to stay or not, just like he can't change the status quo, he can only silently wait for the transaction to be completed, waiting for his next owner.
"Sir, your words seem to be a bit much, and I have never returned a return." Selena said.
"Alright! Ma'am, if you're sure you want to buy it, it's £200 a flat price. The middle-aged man could tell that Selena didn't want to trick him, and really wanted to buy the child.
"£200? Don't you think it's too expensive, sir? Little Barron, who had been staring at them in a daze, said suddenly.
"Little bastard, it's not your turn to speak here."
"You eat me, drink me, and get me in trouble, you little bastard." The middle-aged man scolded loudly.
"You fool with eyes blinded by money, I was just paid to you by those people as compensation, and you actually asked this lady for £200, you bastard!" Barron Jr. scolded the middle-aged man.
"Little bastard, don't forget, you are still my slave, and your life and death are in my hands." The middle-aged man said angrily.
"Sir, I'm not here to listen to your quarrel, and are you sure about £200?" Selena's cold voice interrupted their argument at this point.
The middle-aged man was silent, he really wanted to say that he would not sell it, and then beat this damn little bastard in public and vented his evil anger. But as a businessman, everything is based on profit, and the wise choice is not to keep this unlucky bastard, lest he affect his own business, and also take care of his food and accommodation.
After thinking for a while, the middle-aged man finally took a deep breath, calmed down his angry heart and said, "Okay! Ma'am, £200, then he's yours. ”
Selena didn't say much, she took out two £100 bills from her handbag and handed them to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man who took the 200 pounds checked the banknote, looked at Selena opposite, and said with a smile: "Dear lady, this kid belongs to you." ”
The middle-aged man beckoned to the tent, and a short man walked out, walked up to Barron Jr., opened his shackles, tied his hands behind his back with hemp rope, and led the other end to Selena, bowing slightly and respectfully handing the other end of the rope to Selena.
"Dear lady, if you have the request, we can do a medical examination for this kid." The middle-aged man looked at Selena and said with a smile on his face.
Middle-aged men rarely meet customers who pay so quickly, more customers are to bargain, this is a black market, there are not so many rules on the market, the price is not fixed, bargaining is.
