Chapter 160: 'Nanami Strong Challenge Book' is... Street goods?
"Look, noble lord, this is the 'Seven Seas Mighty Challenge' that is just like a fake, you are a Dutch merchant, right? If you want to own her, then you only need to pay 5,000 silver horse swords, how about it?
Wang and Hines sat at a desk, their expressions stunned, and on the other side of the desk, a short, thin Latin American man sat opposite them, enthusiastically introducing something.
This short man has obvious mixed characteristics of Caucasian and Native American, and the Spaniards have not been less diverse while plundering wealth in the Caribbean, and the so-called Latinos are actually a mixture of white and Native Americans.
He was dressed in a seafaring merchant's outfit, but the clothes were baggy, the size was too large, and some of them did not fit, and the stubborn curly hair that was unique to Latin Americans did not know what he used to wipe it flat and smooth, shiny and shiny, revealing the meaning of a decent person, but he smiled, and his mouth full of rotten teeth still exposed his bottom, making him look crappy and funny.
However, Wang Mancang and Hines were not concerned about the details of this Latin American figure at this time, their eyes were attracted by a beautiful thick brown paper spread out on the table by the man at the same time...
Lao Wang and the others did not rush to carry out the task after entering the port of Havana last night, everyone summed up, and decided to settle down first, establish a good base of operations in Havana, and then slowly plan the mission, now there are about 25 days left in the mission time, according to the previous calculation, it is relatively rich for them.
No one has a property in Havana, so the richest man Wang had to pay a whole hotel out of his own pocket as a temporary base camp, the Netherlands is prosperous in business, and their gold and silver swords are very strong all over the world, even at night, the old king waved his hand and threw it out at three times or five times the price, and the house was naturally no problem.
Due to the special circumstances of this mission, Lao Wang and Hines did not give their sailors a holiday, except for the nine selectors and some of the elite seamen on the ship all went ashore and entered the base camp, the rest of the sailors all lived on the ship, responsible for guarding the ship, ready to sail at any time, Havana has the same harbor protection as other large ports, but there is no fear of someone sneaking up on the ship.
The next day they woke up in the bright sunshine of Havana, and after a meal, they divided into three ways, still using the routine of splitting up to listen to the information, and they were accustomed to these things when they were accumulating strength in the North Sea, and they were very skillful in operation.
Because Lao Wang is the president of the Chamber of Commerce, he and Hines are in a group, mainly responsible for going to the exchange and commercial center, and contacting the big chamber of commerce, the exchange and the Spanish businessman's office by taking the route on the surface, and inquiring about the news of the "Seven Seas Strong Challenge".
Most of Mary's subordinates were sailors with heavy guns, so she teamed up with Tan Liang in Takenaka, and shuttled between taverns, brothels and black markets with a few sailors with crooked mouths and slanted eyes, and at first glance they were not good cakes, collecting information from the underground.
Harris, Pierre, and Arsacine, who didn't say a few words, were mainly responsible for listening to news in the guilds, shipyards, and docks, and the main targets were seafarers in and out of the port and dockyard area, who were active at sea, and were also an important source of information.
The plan was decided, and the three groups set off at the same time.
Lao Wang's group spent the most foot and needed a carriage to travel, because the exchange and the office of the large chamber of commerce generally had to take into account the distance between the port area and the urban area when setting up the location, so Lao Wang's location in their target area was the farthest among the three groups of people.
In their deduction, the "Seven Seas Strong Challenge Book" should not appear on the bright side, they go to collect intelligence, the best situation is to get clear search information, if they are unlucky, that is, they have collected some rumors, in this case, the soldiers are divided into three ways, and the collected information can be synthesized, which can improve the probability of discovering the clues of the "Seven Seas Strong Challenge Book", that is to say, in the eyes of everyone, this matter is always difficult to do.
But they didn't expect that the random space was really random and a little capricious, Lao Wang, they didn't have to do anything, they just arrived at the exchange, just opened their mouths to explain their intentions, and they were directly brought by the guide to this obscene and cunning Latin American man.
After a brief exchange, the man understood the intention of the three of Lao Wang, and immediately took out a piece of simple and exquisite brown paper with a black hand, and began to confidently introduce: "Dear old ladies and gentlemen, please see, this is the 'Seven Seas Strong Challenge Book'!"
"It's the 'Nanami Strong Challenge Book', and... Do you sell it at a clear price?" Lao Wang looked down at the brown paper for a long time, raised his head and muttered.
He thought about it, and was still a little uneasy, so he reached out and picked up the kraft paper, and checked it a few times by touching it using random space.
The spatial information shows that the kraft paper prop in his hand is indeed the "Nanami Strong Zhang Challenge Book", but there is no detailed information about it in the description of the props that should normally be there, instead there is a series of question marks, Lao Wang is a little puzzled, is this thing real? But how to explain this unknown information? Do you need to buy it to see it? Is this some kind of scam of space design?
"As you can see, honorable lord, this is the 'Seven Seas Strong Challenge Book', these challenge books were originally produced and printed by the Spanish Chamber of Commerce and sold on our Havana Exchange, isn't it normal?" the thin and obscene man asked rhetorically, and his hands began to rub together excitedly again, which caused the great beauty of Calaudia to frown, for fear that this guy would rub the unknown object on his hand and fall down.
"This..."Lao Wang hesitated, handed the brown paper to Hines, he felt very strange, they had strict mental preparation for the acquisition process of the "Seven Seas Strong Challenge Book", and no matter what kind of plan, this acquisition process was not related to simplicity.
But the current situation is so unreasonable, just like Wang Mancang in the real world to pursue an international beauty movie star, considering all kinds of difficulties, ditches and bumps, fully prepared to be abused to the point of incompleteness, but I didn't expect that as soon as he went up to confess to other girls, others directly agreed, and the degree of happiness and simplicity made Lao Wang himself can't help but doubt life.
"If you think this price is too expensive, can we still talk?" the little Latin American clerk asked cautiously when he looked at Lao Wang and groaned, thinking that his price was so high that it scared customers.
"It's too high! In other words, there is still room for bargaining for this certificate?" Lao Wang was completely stunned, this is too much to take the key mission props seriously, right?!
This is a challenge book for the Seven Seas powerhouse competing for 300 seats! This is a selection master of nearly 600 people, and he will fight for it to the death! Now you tell Lao Wang that you can get it by spending only some interactive element props, and you can even bargain, which also makes Lao Wang feel a psychological gap.
"Well, it's up to your sincerity, although the 'Seven Seas Strong Battle Book' is not a cherished thing, but you should also know that the upcoming 'big event' is closely related to this thing, if you don't have this challenge book, even if you want to participate, there is no way to ask for help. The little man pretended to be mysterious and approached the old king.
"Mr. Wang. The sleeve of the old king of Syllala whispered: "I also saw it just now, the spatial information recognizes this prop, which is the existence that we recognize as impossible to lie, so I think this thing should... It should be the real thing we are looking for. ”
"Do you believe this yourself?" Lao Wang also muttered back, "Your voice sounds vain. ”
"No matter how implausible it is, the facts are in front of you, whether they are bizarre or ridiculous, and there is room for this thing to back it up, and in my opinion this is the most powerful testimony, so I think we should accept it. Sheehan explained.
Lao Wang nodded, signaled to Hines not to be in a hurry, reached out and took out ten high-value golden horse sword coins that he had specially exchanged for bribes, stacked them in front of the little Latin American man, and said, "I bought them, and there are quite a few amounts, but you have to answer me a few questions first." ”
The little man's eyes lit up, and he excitedly and covertly put the Golden Horse Sword into his pocket, and said happily: "Just ask, noble lord, your generosity deserves the most comprehensive answer." ”
"First, how much inventory do you have in stock of this 'Seven Seas Powerhouse Challenge Book' that you sold?" asked Lao Wang in a deep voice, "Plus the part that has already been sold." ”
Hines nodded slightly, this question is also what he wants to ask, he admits that Wang Mancang's adaptability and overall situation are good, but he is not so delicate in the subsections, if he guesses correctly, he has already ventilated this matter with his military advisor Xiao Zhuzhong in the team channel, this question should be asked by that child.
"Oh, in the past few days, many great men with the same extraordinary bearing as you have come to inquire about this problem with us. The little Latin American man replied in an exaggerated tone with obvious regional characteristics: "Eight hundred, a full eight hundred, five hundred on the Havana Exchange, one hundred on the personal connections of the Chamber of Commerce, and two hundred on the black market." ”
Lao Wang frowned, was silent for a while, and continued to ask, "Second, how many are left now?"
The little Latin American man looked puzzled, as if he had some associations that made him feel strange and said: "Why do you decent old men ask the same question, and now there are six hundred and eighty-three left, all channels combined, of course..." ”
Lao Wang still groaned, thought for a while, and then threw out a question: "Third, when did the decent old men like me you mentioned come to buy the 'Seven Seas Strong Challenge Book'?"
The little man opened his mouth wide in surprise this time, and said in a more pompous tone: "Oh my God, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought that the old man who left a few days ago had come back to take care of my business, and you asked the same questions as twin brothers." ”
"Then you should answer my question, don't you?" said the old king.
"Of course, of course. The little man replied, "These decent old men hurried away after asking these questions, well... I think the closest to you was about two days ago, and in short, one after another, people kept coming. ”
"Okay, you answered very well, now, give me nine 'Seven Seas Strong Challenge Book', I won't bargain with you, as a reward for your honest answer to me. Lao Wang nodded, and pressed a check from the United Bank of the Netherlands with a face value of 50,000 silver swords on the table in front of the Latin American trader, causing the other party to swallow his saliva very clearly.
Lao Wang pushed the check forward, and then when the Latin American trader reached over to get it, he pressed it with his finger again, stared at the little man with golden eyes and said, "I think I still have a question, Mr. Trader, how much can I buy the 'Seven Seas Strong Challenge Book'?"
The little Latin American looked at the little Latin American with difficulty and disappeared, he raised his head, looked at Lao Wang with a shrewd and cunning and said: "This question, not many old men ask, but some people have asked, here, I want to be sorry to tell you, the answer is that each person is limited to one purchase." ”
The Latinus changed to a positive color: "After you buy the certificate, you also have to fill in your personal information, which is in duplicate, all of which are stamped with the flower deposit of our exchange and your private mark, and we both keep a copy as a bottom for future reference." ”
The little man glanced greedily at the check, and then said, "Although I love the denomination on your check more than my mother, I still have to regret to inform you that the few 'Seven Seas Powerhouse Challenge Books' that can be bought now can only be three. ”
"Don't bother, you better collect the money according to the nine, our companions are coming, and the number is exactly nine. Lao Wang replied with a smile, he turned his head to look at Hines, who also had a lazy smile on his face, apparently also informing his team members in the team channel.
When the little Latin American man heard this, he was elated again, took the check with both hands and said: "Thank you so much, honorable lord, your generous name will resound on the sea, so what about the balance on your check, do you need us to cash or transfer a small check?"
"What currency is best to pass here?" asked Wang.
"Your Dutch gold and silver swords are very good, but if you really compare them, you have to say that the great Spanish gold dollar is superior. The little man said quickly.
"Exchange all the money left on the check for a gold dollar at the exchange rate, and you can take a tenth of it as a reward for your hard work. ”
"Thank you so much. "The little Latin American is so grateful that he almost jumped to do business for Lao Wang.
"Mr. Wang, you are really interesting. Hines looked at Lao Wang's leftist faction, squinted and smiled at Lao Wang with interest, left and right are now waiting for the process of personnel to arrive, he thinks it is better to chat with Lao Wang, and by the way, see why Takenaka is so desperate for this guy.
"What do you say, Mr. Hines?" asked the old king, tilting his head.
"I have the impression that you have always been a thrifty man, and after the battle, you did not spare even the remaining grease of the Leviathan, I think this is evident. Hines said thoughtfully: "But just now, your performance was an out-and-out broad, spending money like dirt, just to win the reputation of a high-roller, this contradiction makes me feel very interesting." ”
Lao Wang smiled and said: "Good steel is used on the blade, good money is used in the right place, I don't know if the space can translate the meaning I want to say to you, in short, the use of funds should be reasonable, the place where the money should be used can not be soft, and the need for thrift can not be extravagant." ”
"It's a wise dialectical perspective. Hines praised, not knowing if it was sincere or a perfunctory chat.
