Relying on the introduction of a ghost broker named Jin Daya, I sold all the seafood on the Victory to a trading house in the main city of Thousand Island City, and successfully earned the first pot of gold in the new business plan.

The bookworm ghost picked up the abacus he brought with him and roughly calculated, just this batch of seafood, after deducting the purchase price and shipping expenses, made about 2,000 Yin Yuan. It's really profitable to do this business!

When negotiating the price, I also agreed on the time and method of delivery with the owner of the firm, that is, the firm would go directly to the port to receive the goods. Since the port where the Victory docked was too far from the main city, it also needed to be transferred by small boat. The comptoir will pick up the goods at the port by itself, so I will have to pay an additional part of the freight, which is actually included in the purchase price.

At this time, Jin Daya proposed to take over this short-distance transportation work. The boss of the firm also agreed, and agreed with Jin Daya on the spot about the freight, and when the time comes, he will send someone to the port to inspect the goods, pick up the goods, and go through the handover procedures. It doesn't have much to do with me.

After talking about this business, my trust in Jin Daya has increased slightly. But Liu Han still seemed to be skeptical of it, and whispered to me when he left the trading house: "Jin Daya, this guy is flamboyant, I don't like it." Be on your guard, too! ”

I laughed, "Aren't all brokers like that?" If every broker is as bad at words as a bookworm, how can he make a business? ”

"Ahem!"

When the bookworm ghost heard me mention it suddenly, he coughed twice in embarrassment. It is very neat and careful in bookkeeping and accounting, but it has a wooden personality and few words, and it is not good to deal with people.

"Even if I'm guessing blindly," Liu Han pursed his lips dissatisfied, still insisting: "However, this is my woman's intuition!" ”

You can rely on intuition when you fall in love, and sometimes you can rely on intuition when leading troops to fight, but it's better to be rational when talking about business. At least for now, Kim is doing a normal thing, and there's no reason for me to kick it out of the way right now.

Later, Jin Daya led us to another trading house. This firm is mainly engaged in the medicinal herb business, and I am also very satisfied with the special products we have brought to eat the ghost forest. So, a quarter of an hour later, the buyer and seller negotiated the price smoothly. However, this time, I had to transport the goods from the ship to the trading house to hand over the goods myself.

Jin Daya once again offered to carry this cargo with me. I thought to myself, this batch of medicinal materials is only a small amount of goods, and a dozen sailors can carry it, so there is no need to hire someone else to do it. So he politely declined.

Jin Daya lowered the asking price again, saying that he should make a little money for it.

I still shook my head and said, "We also have manpower, and there are not many goods, so it won't be troublesome." ”

Jin Daya seemed a little disappointed, but when he saw that I was resolute, he gave up, and then took us back to the harbor where the Victory was berthed.

The next day, the comptoir came to receive the goods. I asked the sarcasm to arrange for the sailors to carry all the goods off the ship, and the men of the merchant house waited on the docks to count and sign for the goods. The coolies sent by Jin Daya also arrived, and a small boat was rowed to prepare to transfer the sea cargo to the main city.

Several groups of people were busy under the ship, each with a clear division of labor. But after a while, while I was counting the cargo in the hold, I suddenly heard the iron head on the deck roaring: "What are you doing, who let you get on board?" ”

"Our boss let us come up!"

"Who's your boss? I don't know! Give it all to me! ”

"Hey, what's your attitude? If you have something to say, you can talk about it! ”

"I've always had this attitude, what's wrong? Hurry up and get me down! ”

"Go down! Go down! Go down! ”

Then there was a commotion on the deck, and the sailors of the Victory followed the iron head together.

I ran out with the sarcasm to see what was going on. It turned out that the porter in charge of transshipment came on board, saying that he thought the sailors on the ship were moving the goods too slowly, and he wanted to come up to help finish the goods quickly, so that they could call it a day and get the money, so as not to delay them to take the next job.

The sarcastic ghost was originally unforgiving, and in this case he must be helping his own people, so he stepped forward and scolded: "You poor ghosts don't need to worry about it, get out of here!" ”

Those movers are all ghost servants, dressed in tatters, doing hard manual work, and earning hard money. The sarcastic ghost scolds the other party as a poor ghost, which is really detrimental. Several movers were even more annoyed when they heard this, and wanted to rush over to theorize. Not to be outdone, the two sides immediately began to push and shove, and they were about to start.

I hurried over to the sailors and said to the porters, "I am the owner of this ship. There are people on this ship, and you don't need your help, you just have to wait on the dock. ”

When the movers saw that I had spoken, they had no excuses, so they went down in a huff.

I told the sailors to speed up the movement of goods, so as not to talk again. Half an hour later, the men of the comptoir finished inspecting the goods on the dock, handed over to me, and paid for the goods on the spot.

At this time, Jin Daya also came over with his two followers, and I gave him a commission of two percent according to the agreed commission. Jin Daya accepted the money, and said to me with a smile: "The merchant is really honest. However, after you have finished loading the goods on the ship, do you also want to bring a batch of goods back by the way? You can also find me about the purchase! ”

Actually, I have also considered this matter. After all, it is not cost-effective to go back by empty boat, and it is good to earn a little extra freight if you can bring a batch of goods back along the way. This makes it even more necessary to find a broker like Jin Daya to help contact the cargo owner.

I asked, "Then let's see, can you find the goods that need to be consigned to Estuary Town?" ”

The reason why there is no mention of the fishing village is because the location of the fishing village is too remote, and the demand for goods is too small, so it can only be the idea of hitting the estuary town.

"Bayoutown?" Jin Daya seemed a little surprised, frowned and said: "The place over there is too far away, and there are very few commercial houses in Qiandao City that buy and sell over there, and it's not easy to find this goods along the way!" ”

"It doesn't matter how much, just bring a piece of goods along the way, and you can earn a little more!" I said.

Jin Daya still shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this kind of goods are really hard to find, why don't you prepare some good goods to go back?" ”

I was a little disappointed, so I went back to talk to the bookworm ghost.

The bookworm ghost memorized the local prices every time he passed through various Yin Cities, and he knew Hekou Town well. He advised me: "Buy a batch of grain, rice, and cloth and go back, these things are not produced in Hekou Town or fishing villages, so the price is on the high side, and you should be able to sell them." ”

I nodded when I heard this, and said, "Well, these things are commonly used materials, even if they can't be sold, you can keep them for your own use." You calculate the loading rate, and put in eighty percent of the grain and rice, and two layers of cloth. ”

At this time, Liu Han raised an objection and pulled me to say privately: "I still don't believe in that guy Jin Daya, I'm too enthusiastic." I have no objection to you buying and selling back, but don't buy too much, what if there is a cat in it? ”

I thought about it, and I also felt that Liu Han's worries were not unreasonable. The first time the Victory came to Thousand Island City, it sold all the goods smoothly, but it was too smooth and seemed a little abnormal. It is impossible for a broker like Jin Daya who exists entirely for profit without the idea of doing something out of it.

So, I went over and said to Jin Daya: "Our ship has other plans, so we only plan to carry half of the cargo, and we need high-quality grain, rice, and cloth." Do you have anything to introduce? ”

Jin Daya hesitated for a moment, but quickly put on a smile again, and said, "Okay, these goods are easy to enter, I'll take you to buy them." ”

Then I followed it on another trip to the main city, and bought a quantity of grain, rice, and cloth, but we had to carry the goods to the wharf ourselves. Naturally, Jin Daya proposed to take over the work of transportation.

I remembered the unpleasantness that had happened between the sarcastic ghost and the porter, so I refused, saying, "There are laborers on the ship, and we will carry them ourselves." ”

Jin Daya suddenly showed a displeased expression again, but I ignored it, and paid the commission that should have been given to Jin Daya as usual after the payment was handed over clearly.

When it was time to load the ship, Jin Daya seized the last opportunity to persuade me to buy more goods, but I refused all of them. In the end, when it saw that I didn't eat the oil, its attitude suddenly became cold, and it snorted and walked away.

It's rare to come to Qiandao City, and since the business has been negotiated, I simply gave everyone two days off. The ghost sailors rested on the boat, and the old subordinates of the sarcasm, bookworms, scissors, and rollers could go ashore on their own and have a long experience. Liu Han and I stayed directly in the most luxurious inn in the city and enjoyed a luxurious service.

Speaking of which, since the two of us met in Zuoqiu City, we have been to the underworld, the eighteenth cave and the fishing village, Liu Han and I have not experienced any good life, and we have been spending time in cheating and fleeing. This is a small compensation for her!

After resting for two days in the Thousand Islands, the Victory returned with only half of its cargo.

Ten miles from the city, the path of the underground river became winding, and the river was sometimes large and sometimes small, and the speed of the boat slowed down suddenly. However, it is still a relatively busy waterway, and there are many ships coming and going, and the city guards will also send warships out to patrol, which is relatively safe.

After sailing thirty miles away from Thousand Island City, he completely left the control of Thousand Island City. The Victory returned to the tense state when it came, the lookout glasses on the mast and the bottom of the ship were watched 24 hours a day, and the ghost sailors were also resting in shifts, for fear of a sneak attack by water thieves.

But I'm really afraid of anything. When the Victory entered a honeycomb dense cavern waterway, more than a dozen clippers sprang out of a nearby hole and surrounded us!
