Chapter 205: One Hundred Servings!
"Dear Grand Elder Siri, I... My name is Luo... Roderick, is Van ... Mr. Van der Kamp's sailors, currently serving as deck officers, served in the White ... White Tulip on the work. ”
Boss Tan didn't have to say anything, he perfectly played the honest sailor who was a little stammering because of timidity and nervousness, and he babbled to answer Elder Xili's question, in this critical situation, such a grinding way of answering almost instantly exhausted Xili's patience.
The Scientist Elder took a deep breath and calmed his mind, thinking that if his subordinates dared to report to him like this, they would probably have been blasted out a long time ago.
He pursed his lips, forcibly resisted the urge to interrupt the other party's speech, and listened to Boss Tan finish his life with a stiff smiling face before politely answering: "Mr. Roderick, I respect you seafarers for this adventurous profession, if we Dragons can have a small piece of blue of our own, I think I will also be willing to put down my mundane business and go to the sea to find my freedom." ”
Elder Xili patiently praised Boss Kuatan, assured that the conversation was polite and smooth, and continued, "But apart from the job introduction, do you need me to help you solve anything?"
"It's... These have nothing to do with what I want to tell you today, didn't you just ask me and I answered you?" Boss Tan looked dazed, full of honesty and honesty, and his dumbfounded expression was enough to make Xili angry.
"I thank you for your answer, so now you can focus on what we need to discuss, okay?" said Ciri, trying to make himself sound more pleasant.
"I... I. Boss Tan said a few words, and then as if he had made up his mind, he said solemnly to Xili: "Before I say it, I hope you don't tell my captain about this matter!"
"You haven't said what it is!" said Ciri, but there was also an indescribable excitement in his heart.
He knows that this kind of honest person is generally very timid, once he wants to do something they think is a foul, he will be careful and careful, this Roderick will behave like this, but it shows that what he wants to say is not a trivial business, at least to the extent that it must be concealed from Van der Kamp, this matter is not small.
"You just agree! It's really important!" Boss Tan said eagerly, in the face of the threat of "tell the captain", he was like a child who was caught by a teacher and was ready to invite parents, which can be said to be kneaded by others.
"This..."This time, Elder Xili began to hesitate, of course, he was pretending, just to grasp more initiative in the negotiation with the "honest man".
After pretending to think for a while, he nodded solemnly, "Well, I promise you, remember that this is not due to the cooperation between the two of us, but because you are a human friend who risked his life to enter the forbidden area of life and help us Dragone.
I, Cicelorus, promise that what you are about to say, I can keep it a secret from you, to Mr. van der Kamp, so that you can say it?"
"No, no, no, I remembered, except for the captain, the rest of the companions can't know!" Boss Tan said unrelentingly.
"Yes, I can guarantee that no third person will know about it. Ciri replied helplessly, ecstatic in his heart, he had a hunch, and his guess might come true, but on his face, he still looked like he had endured to the limit.
"Okay, I said. Seeing the sincerity of Elder Xili's promise, Boss Tan finally relented and said, "Elder Xili, as far as I know, you need a mysterious substance, right?"
Elder Xili didn't speak, just stared at Boss Tan with burning eyes, he couldn't force his calm anymore, what Boss Tan finally said was really what he hoped for the most.
"You need it, right?" Boss Tan saw that no one replied, and asked Xili again.
"Oh yes, we need it, sorry, I'm a little distracted, you know, Mr. Roderick, I've been too busy lately, please forgive me. ”
Ciri's eyes rolled, and he immediately had a strategy to deal with Boss Tan as he spoke, and then he pretended to be puzzled: "Although we need it, didn't Mr. Van der Kamp say the code?
Elder Ciri's trick was dangerous, and he gambled that Van der Kamp was doing a good job among the sailors.
In other words, the trade and profits of the mysterious substance are all in Van der Kamp's own hands, and the crew only gets a small part of it, and the vast majority of the profits will be taken into the captain's own pocket.
In order to achieve this goal, in addition to forbidding the crew to negotiate business with the Dragons themselves, Van der Kamp also needed to ensure that although the crew only received a small profit, the amount of it must be much higher than the profit they usually made from working on the ship, so that the crew would not ask more if they were happy, and would never know the details of the deal between the Scients and the captain.
Ciri's behavior is actually to deceive Boss Tan, he deliberately said the wrong transaction information, however, he knows that there is still a surplus of mysterious substances in Van der Kamp's hands, and the other party also admitted this in person, however, how much is this left, whether the things are in the hands of this captain, he doesn't know, then, everything depends on how much Mr. Roderick in front of him can be tricked out by himself.
Boss Tan, or Roderick played by Boss Tan, was successfully fooled.
"No!?" he repeated, "how could it be gone?, we took a lot of them, and they were all small fluttering fruits, all over the mountains, do you need to use a lot of these things to strengthen your warriors?"
Elder Siri was sure that he basically had the information he wanted to know.
Just a few words, and he almost trembled with excitement, "Take it", "A lot", "All over the mountain"! Damn van der kamp, you are such a damn and greedy fellow! But I need to thank you for your greed and shamelessness, your crew showed up in front of me without consent, you know what that means, right?
"Mr. Roderick, in order to avoid misunderstanding between you and your captain, I will tell you the number of mysterious substances used by our transformation warriors, maybe it is really our Degong people who use a large amount?" Although Xili was 100% sure in his heart, he still did a good job in face to the end, and he said to Boss Tan, who was a little surprised: "It is a small fruit of the mysterious substance, every time we transform a warrior, we need such a fruit." ”
"You say... One?" asked Boss Tan.
"Yes, it's one, the mysterious substance contains a lot of energy, and we Dragons only need a part of it, if we eat too much, it will explode." "Xili is a serious nonsense, and now he doesn't know if the mysterious substance can be used more, but they and the sect are operating like this, things are already limited, and they can't do large-scale experiments, and he doesn't know what hidden properties the mysterious substance has.
"Oh my God, then you've just received 10 Mysterious Substance Fruits, right?" Boss Tan couldn't help but be surprised again like an uninformed countryman.
"Yes, that's the last stock in Mr. Van der Kamp's hands. "Xili couldn't be more kind, just when Lao Wang's face was about to be exposed, he was still talking to the arms dealer who deceived him.
"Captain... Could it be that the captain is really like what Hines said?" Boss Tan was not ambiguous, and immediately vividly interpreted the mental journey of an honest sailor when his trust collapsed, and he didn't care who Xili was next to him, whether it was his own person or not, he just muttered to himself.
"What are you talking about? Mr. Roderick, I am not familiar with all the characters in your words, so I cannot give you my advice. Ciri said thoughtfully.
"Oh, no, no!" Boss Tan was woken up and hurriedly said, but he didn't know that this kind of powerless denial was the most favorable evidence of affirmation in the ears of those who had a heart.
"Tell me, aren't we friends?" said in a soft voice as he helped Boss Tan sit down, as friendly as Boss Tan's psychiatrist.
"We... We had a confrontation with First Officer Hines in the Life Exclusion Zone, and he said... He said that Captain Van der Kamp is an insatiable man, and that the benefits we have earned with our hard work and sweat are to lift the ban for him, but if we can make a profit, why should he take most of it, this is unreasonable!
Some sailors were encouraged by him, so we divided into two sides, and then..."Boss Tan was guided, mechanically explained a few words, and suddenly found that it was inappropriate to tell Xili about this, and immediately stopped.
It's too late, this sentence is very informative, and now, what has happened in the forbidden area of life, Xili basically knows.
According to his analysis, after entering the forbidden area of life, these outsiders still paid some price in order to obtain the mysterious substance, at least, there should be human lives, and under this premise, the benefits are very valuable.
As a result, the first mate, named Hines, thinks that it is okay to use the mysterious substance to help the captain lift the ban, but after that, they can also use the mysterious substance to trade with their side to make a profit, so that they can earn money to return to the surface.
Van der Kamp himself is a businessman, so he naturally agrees to this kind of proposal, but the problem is that everyone doesn't know how much money they can make this time, and the first mate of Hines is also usually exploited badly, so he decided to ring a warning bell to the captain first, so that he should not be so greedy this time, and leave more for his brothers, and the distribution ratio should be slightly adjusted.
The essence of a businessman is greed, and the captain is naturally reluctant to agree to this, and if he agrees, doesn't he confirm that he was a black-hearted exploiter before?
The rest of the matter was simple, the two sides disagreed, and it went from a quarrel to a conflict, and finally evolved into what Roderick called a mutiny.
After a fierce battle, Van der Kamp won, but the captain did not get things done, allowing the renegade first mate to escape with his men, and now to the side of the sect.
This kind of thing, just guess it, Cirido smart people, of course, did not continue to say more on this issue.
"You don't want to say more, I can understand, Mr. Van der Kamp is your captain after all, I will definitely not influence your thoughts about how you evaluate him in the future, you will have your own judgment on these things, so let's not talk about these things between us, why don't you tell me about the purpose of your previous desire to come to me, mysterious substance, isn't it?" Elder Cili took advantage of the opportunity of the collapse of trust to open Boss Tan's heart, and after the information was in hand, he changed the topic and returned to the mysterious substance again.
"Oh, yes, mysterious substance. Boss Tan reacted, and then said timidly: "Elder Xili... May I ask you at what price you bought the mysterious substance in the captain's hands?"
"There's nothing to deceive you, I'm sure Mr. van der kamp told you as well. Ciri behaved like an honest retarded and said: "Three Dragone units of diamonds, or the equivalent of precious stones, rare metals." ”
In fact, the price he quoted had already lowered the actual transaction price of Lao Wang by half, and he made another bet, betting that Van der Kamp was greedy enough to give the sailors little benefit, and he did not publish the actual price.
"Three... Three units!" Boss Tan opened his mouth wide, gasped and said, "Is that close to 5 pounds?"
"I'm sorry, I don't know your units of measurement, but you said so, I believe it should be, oh yes, almost, there should be such a big bunch. Ciri gestured with his hands in the air to make a rough gesture.
"So much... So much... 3,000 silver horse swords per person, 5,000 for senior sailors, 5,000 ah, hahaha, captain, captain, you are really powerful!" Boss Tan was frightened by this number, and kept repeating a few words.
"Mr. Roderick, are you alright?" Cili said softly, and then waited for Boss Tan's emotions to explode.
"Elder Siri!"
Here, that's the tone, come on, what are you going to say? I can't wait!
"Mr. Roderick, please tell me what else I can do!"
Boss Tan's face was resolute, full of the flavor of you doing the first year of junior high school and I doing the fifteenth, and he said in the usual tone of an honest person: "If I am willing to use half... No, it's a Dragone unit of diamonds for sale mysterious substances, do you still need them here, and if so, how much do you want?"
"What are you talking about?" said Ciri, too, in surprise, "Do you have any secret material in your hand? One or two? With all due respect, you don't have much, although I need a lot of it." ”
"One..." Boss Tan stretched out a finger.
Ciri was somewhat disappointed when he saw this, but he was also very relieved, after all, this Roderick was hiding from his captain and carrying private goods, and he came to him to find extra money, and the number could not be much, but he also said that this kind of strategic material, one hundred and eighty thousand is not much, one or two is not a lot, if there is something he is still willing to want, so he replied:
"If you want to have one..."
"One hundred!" Boss Tan summoned up his courage for the first time and interrupted the elder's speech: "I have a hundred copies in my hand!"
"Bang Dang" Elder Xili squeezed over his chair and sat down heavily on the ground.
