Chapter 355: Transaction Successful
When Yefeng and the others walked to the counter, the manager-like figure directly picked up the bell beside him and shook it.
With the sound of "jingle bells", a stone door suddenly opened on the wall on the left side of the hall, and a gentleman in a tuxedo and a silver-white wig walked out from behind the door.
When the gentleman walked up to Yefeng, he bent down slightly and said with a smile, "Hello sir, I am Dai Ben of the Hawkins Firm, and I will serve you in the next time, please come with me!" ”
After speaking, Dai Ben turned around and took the lead in walking towards the stone gate.
Ye Feng gestured to his men, and then followed Dai Ben towards the stone gate, and his men who received his signal followed behind with two large boxes of belongings.
After entering the stone door, to Ye Feng's surprise, inside the stone door was a very narrow and closed small room, and there was not even the most basic table or chair in this room.
As the pirates had entered the cramped room, Dai Ben suddenly reached out and pressed against the wall.
Then suddenly the stone door of the room closed with a "bang", and then the whole room began to shake slightly, and at the same time, a sense of weightlessness instantly appeared.
In the face of this sudden situation, although the pirates had no weapons on their bodies, their years of combat experience made them take the best measures in this situation.
I saw several pirates placing two large wooden boxes diagonally in front of them, one left and one right, and in an instant, the two large wooden boxes and the wall behind them formed a triangular defensive formation!
But what was surprising was that nothing happened next, and as for Dai Ben, he looked at Yefeng and his group with a calm and grinning face.
After more than ten seconds passed, the vibration finally stopped, and then I saw a stone door open again behind Dai Ben.
At a glance, I saw that behind the stone door was a very large room, so big that it could be used as a classroom for dozens of children. Flash Dance
And in this spacious room, there is a round wooden table made of rosewood, and there are more than a dozen chairs on the side of the wooden table!
According to the area of this room, if it is calculated according to the area of the business house they saw in the night forward, then this room is enough to be equivalent to the area of 13 business houses.
However, this means that the firm can receive up to three customers at the same time, which is not possible.
Coupled with the inexplicable sense of weightlessness just now, it seems that the place they are in now should be located in the underground of the trading house, and the narrow room just now should be similar to an elevator to transfer customers from the ground to the underground.
However, if you want to make such a wide area underground, the strength of the Hawkins Comptoir is really unfathomable!
At this time, when Ye Feng thought of these things in his mind, Dai Ben also motioned to Ye Feng and them to sit down first, and then he was not in a hurry to start talking about business, but took out a set of silver teacups.
Along with the teacup, there was also a set of utensils that looked like the glass chemistry dish in modern biology class, and I saw Dai Ben slowly pour water into the transparent glass.
Then it was placed on top of the iron shelf, and a tiny flame began to rise from under the glass, burning slowly!
While waiting for the water to boil, Dai Ben carefully took out an elegant little wooden box, and when he opened the wooden box, he saw a black mass of objects contained inside.
Ye Feng looked closely, only to find that the black object was a ball of tea leaves!
You know, because of the underdeveloped relationship of shipping at this time, the originally cheap tea in the East is comparable to the same weight of gold in the West!
Therefore, don't look at the tea leaves that Dai Ben took out is just a small wooden box, but its value is enough to reach hundreds of gold pounds!
I saw Dai Ben carefully take a little tea out of the wooden box with a silver twist, and then put it into the silver teapot. Flash Dance
Then, after the boiling water was boiling, he immediately poured the boiling water into the teapot.
After twisting the teapot slightly with the teaspoon, he lifted the teapot and poured the contents into the cups on the table.
In an instant, a familiar smell of tea came to Ye Feng's nose instantly.
After pouring the tea, Dai Ben then used a silver knife to cut a lemon into slices and put it in the teacup, while he scooped out a small spoonful of white sugar with a spoon and poured it into the teacup.
According to Comptroller Lorev's later estimates, this cup of tea alone would be enough for the pirates to drink a dozen glasses of rum.
It was only then that Dai Ben pushed the teacup in front of everyone, and then he took the lead in drinking.
With Dai Ben's demonstration, the pirates are also relieved, it seems that there should be no medicine in this water, it's not that they are suspicious, but for the pirates, if they don't survive with such a mentality, then they can't survive until now.
When everyone finished drinking the black tea in their hands, Dai Bencai asked with a smile, "I don't know what happened to the guests coming to our firm?" ”
Ye Feng didn't beat around the bush, and said bluntly, "We have a batch of goods in our hands that we want to get rid of immediately, and its value is about 100,000 gold pounds, I don't know if your firm can eat it?" ”
In the face of Ye Feng's questioning, Dai Ben was not annoyed at all, but said calmly, "This is not a matter of worrying about the guests, I believe that since the guests have chosen to come to our firm, then they should also know something about the owner behind our firm!" ”
Ye Feng nodded calmly, "Indeed! It is out of trust in the owner of your firm that I will choose your firm! ”
"That's it! In that case, then I won't say more nonsense! ”
After speaking, Ye Feng gestured to his pirates with his eyes, and when he saw the captain's eyes, the pirates immediately opened the two large wooden boxes one by one.
In an instant, a large number of precious treasures came into the eyes of everyone.
Even a well-informed person like Dai Ben couldn't help but shake his heart after seeing the two large boxes of treasures, after all, although the pirates who came to their trading house to sell goods did not know how many there were every day, but in fact, the value of the goods sold by the pirates who came was only a few thousand or even tens of thousands of gold pounds each time.
There is no real business of 100,000 gold pounds at present, of course, what I say here does not mean that the business bank has not encountered 100,000 gold pounds this month!
Then, when Dai Ben had calmed down, he went straight to the wooden box to check the value of his goods.
For Dai Ben, who has been immersed in this business for many years, as long as he is asked to take a slight look at the appearance of the product, then he can quickly estimate its approximate value in his heart!
However, although he could quickly estimate the approximate value of the commodity with his experience, this time it was a large-denomination transaction involving more than 100,000 gold pounds.
Therefore, of course, he did not dare to be sloppy, and took each item out of the box and carefully observed it.
Therefore, it was not until a few hours had passed that Dai Ben carefully counted all the goods in the two wooden boxes, and then he pondered for a long time before he said to Ye Feng, "The number of goods this time is 32 pieces, and several of them have reduced their actual value due to poor storage, and the reduced amount is about 30." ”
"So in the end, the purchase price I gave was 100,000 and 700 gold pounds."
After hearing Dai Ben's words, Ye Feng's brows couldn't help frowning, because although he just said that the price of the goods he brought this time was about 100,000, in fact, according to the approximate estimate of Comptroller Lorefu, the total value of all the goods should be more than 120,000!
In other words, the commission of Hawkins Comptoir has reached about 20!
Generally speaking, for people who sell things, the goods sold should not make much money, at least they should not lose money.
And this time, Ye Feng not only didn't make much, but also lost 20 profits.
It stands to reason that he should just leave and find another buyer.
But in fact, after contemplating for a moment, Ye Feng nodded decisively and completed this seemingly loss-making transaction.
As for the reason, it is very simple, that is time!
You know, as a contractor, he doesn't have the extra time to stay too much time on Turtle Island for that benefit to sell the goods at a high price!
For the contractor, time is much more important than the actual gold pound!
After all, in fact, on Turtle Island, only the Hawkins Commercial Bank has the ability to eat his goods in a short period of time, after all, not all trading houses have the courage and strength to dare to store more than 100,000 or 200,000 gold pounds in a place like Turtle Island!
And the most important thing is that their goods were also snatched from others, simply put, they have no business, so although they lost 20% of their profits, they must still make money!
That's why Yefeng completed what seemed to be a losing deal.
Seeing that Ye Feng agreed, Dai Ben immediately took out a bone flute made of white bones from his bosom, and then he used it to blow a rhythmic melody flute.
Ordinary people may not be able to hear anything about this flute, but for Ye Feng, whose spiritual attribute is as high as 36 points, he can feel subtle magic fluctuations from this flute!
It seems that this bone flute is also a magic item!
More than a minute after the whistle sounded, the wall facing them suddenly opened, and then several heavily armored guards slowly walked out of the darkness!
However, apart from the rapier at their waists, these guards were not equipped with other weapons, but walked in with huge wooden boxes in both hands!
