Ferdinand looked at Mr. van der Kamp who was eating and drinking comfortably across from him, his mind was full of black lines, he stared at the sausage with sauerkraut on the plate in front of him, he felt like his throat was blocked, and he was not interested in picking up the knife and fork on the table.

The red-haired arms merchant in front of him was nervous and heartless, you must know that Miss Lilu had brought a whole 800 boxes of tulip bulbs over, and instructed that what to do with these tulips should be done according to Mr. Van der Kamp's wishes, when to shoot, when to stop, Ferdinand did not need to have his own ideas, as long as he resolutely carried it out.

Originally, after Ferdinand met with Lao Wang at the exchange, he saw him in front of the quotation board with sharp eyebrows and an extraordinary look, and he thought that he would make some big moves.

But I didn't expect that after watching stupidly with him for more than two hours, this person actually smiled slightly, said nonsense and took himself to the tavern, and then began to eat lunch with peace of mind, what is the difference between this behavior and the silly child who is tired of watching trout on the edge of the pond, and then goes home to eat?!

The former first mate of the Xiulan had seen Lao Wang fight seriously, but he had heard a lot of bad rumors recently, maybe this brave and capable guy was more suitable for a career in the navy, or as a privateer captain of the East India Company, in short, his style of doing business always made people feel so worried.

To his surprise, the arms merchant was not done relaxing, and after he had beautifully put three German sausages and a few pickles in his stomach with two large glasses of rye beer, he announced to Ferdinand that they would not be going to the exchange in the afternoon, with the words "I'm not interested in watching a bunch of stupid young men sweating and smearing on the quotation board." ”

Ferdinand thought that he would not be too ridiculous even if he did not have any good arrangements, but the experienced seaman could guess the direction of the wind and the weather at sea, but not the mind of the old king, and his Mr. van der Kamp shook him again with his actions.

Lao Wang took Ferdinand to the bar area, and no matter what time it was, he drank directly, judging from the attitude of the tavern owner towards them, it is estimated that this arrogant weapons dealer has spent a lot of money to empty his cellar in the past few days, and the two sides are very familiar with each other, and they began to call friends when they met, and Mr. Van der Kamp couldn't wait for a moment, so he directly asked for the best rum, or with a large glass of beer, and started to drink.

Ferdinand only felt that a string that was stretched to the limit in his head snapped, and then he didn't care about it anymore, and directly picked up the piece handed over by Mr. Van der Kamp, and vented all his dissatisfaction and confusion on the alcohol in anger.

In short, Ferdinand was sinked, but Wang Mancang, as the culprit, was not as dissolute as he appeared, and his physical fitness as a selector had minimized the harm of alcohol to the body, and he was staggered, and from time to time a serious light flashed in his eyes, that is, he was listening carefully to the quotations and discussions in the team channel.

The plan to sing the short tulips in Sweden was launched as scheduled, and went smoothly, after the plan was launched, Boss Tan continued to guard the exchange for several hours, and the price of tulips was really like Lao Wang's prediction, once the panic selling began, the price was like a runaway downhill truck, and it could no longer be stopped.

In just a few hours, more than 15,000 cases of tulips were sold in Stockholm alone, and the price also fell to the bottom, and people no longer wanted to make money, but to stop losses, and the collapse of tulips in Sweden was unstoppable.

In the early days of the sell-off, the offices of the Western European Chamber of Commerce were still eating the tulips sold by the Swedes, and they thought that these northern bosses did not know about capital operation and financial markets, after all, these concepts were also new words to them, and it was normal for the northerners not to understand them.

But they slowly found that the sell-off was getting bigger and bigger, and they soon couldn't eat it, and at the same time, the Stockholm exchange ignored the price of tulips in Amsterdam and began to adjust the price of tulips according to market sentiment, which was the beginning of the decline in tulip prices.

As a result, the phenomenon of selling and inability to buy back is like a sharp knife, piercing a beautiful bubble and revealing the cruel truth that tulips themselves do not have the value to sustain such high profits!

Removing the ornamental value, these damn things can't even fill people's stomachs, and in this case, the more you stock up, the more you lose money, and soon, the Western Europe office can't stand it anymore and starts selling tulips.

What made them collapse was that no one in Stockholm at this time was willing to take over these flowers that had become devils in the eyes of people, and even the exchange only gave a symbolic price and no longer participated in the actual buying and selling.

The brains of the Western European Chamber of Commerce had no choice but to load a large number of tulips on a ship and prepare to sell them at the next big port, Hamburg, with the belief that they would not be the last to take over the baton, desperately trying to save their money before the price of tulips there was affected by Sweden.

A ridiculous but inevitable situation has arisen: in Amsterdam, the trading center, the price of tulips is still slowly rising, but at the end of the trading chain, in Stockholm, the price of tulips has formed a localized collapse, and Amsterdam is unaware.

When Stockholm ushered in a thousand sails out of the port, Boss Tan set off with the White Tulip in it, under the command of Lao Wang, he loaded copper ore and high-quality Swedish swords as goods with great interest, compared with those Tulip speculators who were in a hurry to run for their lives, he seemed magnificent, after all, it was a weapon merchant's ship, and he had to remember his job at all times.

At this time, Wang Mancang and prostitution all afternoon, the "poor man" Ferdinand, whose face was a little blue, began to have dinner together, and the seafarers who had suffered from the mental torture of Lao Wang and the "physical torture" of the girls had already shown a state of broken jars.

Next, the two of them continued to be arrogant and lascivious for a day and a night, Ferdinand was so happy that he fell asleep directly, and when Lao Wang appeared by his bedside in neat clothes and with a serious face, Ferdinand had just opened his hazy sleepy eyes.

In a daze, he heard a phrase from Mr. Van der Kamp, "Get up, Ferdinand, it's twelve o'clock again?"

Ferdinand was in a trance, and he couldn't help but think, why did the captain say it?

At this time, Bergstone's clippers had been running for exactly two full days, and they had already rounded Hamburg and had about half a day to reach Amstertport.

At the same time, Takenaka and Lilu, who are in the Netherlands, have observed that the profit appreciation of tulips is becoming more and more stable, but everyone is still full of confidence.

According to the law of the past, before the price of tulips soared, there would be such a stage when the price increase was close to stabilizing, and people called this practice "the stairway to the Garden of Eden", and believed that it could lead everyone to the beautiful world of abundance, as for worrying or something, it was completely forgotten.

Mary and Bergstone's men were based in London, the second largest tulip market in Europe, and the price of the flowers was exactly the same as Amsterdam, and even the people expected it to be, and the island was so close to the Netherlands, less than a day's sail, that the pace of the two sides was the closest.

And most importantly, the tulips-laden merchant ships that had sailed from Stockholm had survived the privateers and pirates at sea, and were so close to Hamburg that they were tired and happy that they were about to be freed!

Ferdinand was half-dragged and half-dragged by Lao Wang to the exchange, and once again stood in front of the quotation board.

In view of Mr. van der Kamp's behavior of returning to the tavern in an instant after paying attention to the market (known to the outside world as "returning to sobriety"), it is believed that his state of mind should be that after realizing that he had missed the best opportunity for tulips to increase in value, he recognized the reality that he was completely unable to repay his debts, so he could only return to his drunken dreams and death, and enjoy his last days before being forced to die by the East India Company.

Therefore, when Lao Wang returned to the exchange with Ferdinand at noon today, people's mentality was still a little surprised, why did this neurosis come again? Does he want to confirm that there is no miracle in this world? Also, why is his expression so determined?

"Tan Liang, how is it on the road?" Lao Wang ignored the gazes of the crowd around him and asked in the team channel.

His face was light, in fact, he was the most nervous, the plan was made by him, whether it would succeed or not, he cared more than anyone else, the previous debauchery, all for the purpose of not letting people discover his true intentions, Lao Wang only behaved like a wreck, and neuropathy, in order to hide the enemy's eyes and ears to the greatest extent, and now, this kind of performance can be over.

"According to your instructions Boss Wang, keep a low profile and be cautious all the way, don't cause trouble, there are so many ships full of tulips to open the way in front, there are really not many dangers encountered on my side, we deliberately fell behind the large army, about 4 hours from the fleet that arrived at the earliest Hamburg port, I estimate, in 3 hours, your side will start. Tan Liang replied.

"This is not bad with what Bamboo expected, now the tulips coming out of Sweden are basically in the North Sea region, although the ship of the interactive character will not give the selector a hint of the route, but this abnormal sailing Ken scale will definitely attract the attention of all kinds of bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods, you should be slower, avoid the main battlefield, and don't think about fighting the autumn wind, we are now in a scattered state, and convergence is the first priority. Lao Wang explained to Tan Liang, took a deep breath, turned his head to look at Ferdinand beside him, his eyes were sharp.

Ferdinand was stunned by this gaze, and said in his heart that this Mr. van der Kamp still has no accurate score, why has he begun to put on the serious face of a good young man again?

The arms merchant of "Conscience Discovery" solemnly patted Ferdinand on the shoulder, and said with some apologies: "Excuse me, dear Ferdinand, now let's get down to business, please sell 200 boxes of tulips first!"

His voice was not loud, but firm, which made Ferdinand's eyes widen for a moment, and he clearly heard Mr. Van der Kamp's command, and then, after the habit he had developed on the Shirlan, he reflexively replied, "Yes Captain!" and strode towards the trading desk.

The tulip market in the Port of Hamburg is about twice the size of Stockholm and is concentrated in the hands of the Holy Roman aristocracy and the big Germanic capitalists.

The tulips changed hands through the exchange, and they were quickly taken over by the next family before they entered the market, but everyone saw that although the sellers of these tulips were the Argoth Chamber of Commerce, the behavior was actually led by the head of the Van der Kamp Chamber of Commerce, and everyone just looked at this madman a few more times, and found that his eyes were a little sharp and abnormal, but that's all, no one took it to heart.

Half an hour later, Wang instructed Ferdinand to sell 200 boxes of tulips again, which, like the last time, was quickly diluted by the market.

Half an hour later, Ferdinand sold another 200 boxes of tulips, needless to say, they were still diluted by the market, but this regular action attracted people's attention somewhat, but everyone thought about it, the person who did it was the Dutch madman, and to some extent, this was also normal.

At this moment, Tan Liang sent a message that the White Tulip was less than 4 hours away from Hamburg, which made Lao Wang's heart tighten, here!

This means that the people who suffered the tulip collapse in Sweden are going to Hamburg!

Lao Wang clenched his fists and found that his palms were full of sweat, once this kind of business war began, the level of tension was not much worse than the battle he had experienced.

He stared at the clock for almost half an hour, and then did not speak, just nodded directly at Ferdinand, who understood that he would walk to the trading desk again and sell the last 200 crates of tulips he had brought.

The market will not change because of the strange behavior of a madman, 200 boxes of tulips still did not make any waves, to insist that there is any change, only after four consecutive times of the same behavior, more people pay attention to Lao Wang.

Ferdinand finished the deal, and returned to the old king, and he looked at the frowning man, and became more and more confused about what he was thinking at the moment, whether to pay off his debts or to die, or to say that he had any miraculous plans.

Somehow, Ferdinand felt that he believed more in a third mythical inference.

Just as he was thinking nonsense, there was a commotion outside the door of the Hamburg Exchange, as if some high-speed moving object was constantly crashing into the crowd, attracting bursts of shouting and complaining, this commotion quickly moved to the door of the exchange, and then crashed open the activity door.

The exchange was quiet, all eyes were focused on the door, and people saw a sweaty, panicked businessman, who looked at the quotation board tremblingly, and then let out a sigh of relief, and then reacted as if something, and shouted in a more panicked and loud Swedish voice: "I want to sell tulips!"
