This look of the old king is quite meaningful, if it is used to stare at a noble officer, it can be directly regarded as provocative and rude, for which it is possible to usher in a duel, but Admiral Bergstone still did not think it was at all, he was more convinced that the Dutch arms merchant had goods in his stomach, so that he took the initiative to touch the cup of brandy again with the old king and said: " Mr. Van der Kamp, I do not have any actual evidence to support my inference, but I stubbornly believe that you can do it, and now I need you to take me with you, and when it is done, you will have the friendship of the Swedish Navy, which in my opinion gives reason to think that you are making a good deal. ”

"Your Excellency the Admiral, don't say anything else, as long as you buy tulips and sell them at the high point you think is appropriate, it is still very easy to make money, and if you are as wise as you, you will not be unexpected, you let me do it, isn't that it?"

"Oh no, no, no, this little bit of money is not enough for me to expand my fleet, but I am talking about being able to calculate the real profit in units of 100,000 silver swords. Bergstone smiled, meaning that Lao Wang didn't need to be sloppy, and he wanted to cooperate directly.

"Uncle, what do you think? If I give advice, I think it's feasible. There was no noise in the team channel of the Invincible Uncle Team this time, only Takenaka heard Bergstone's proposal and said something simply.

Wang Mancang's brain was moving rapidly, he was weighing Bergstone's proposal at this time, and in connection with the overall situation, the tasks currently arranged by Random Space in this trial world were all based on the purpose of killing the selectors, although their second step task seemed to be a business war and a task to obtain benefits, but in essence, it still had to trigger the survival of the fittest among the selectors.

In this case, it is not difficult to deduce that the future tasks will continue to revolve around this theme, so with the support of the cutting-edge Swedish Navy, their own support at sea will be more, and some difficult combat missions may also be able to take advantage of the situation.

Bergstone guessed right, Lao Wang made his own business war plan, and took Bergstone to play this business war game together, he would not have too many losses, Lao Wang was worried that Bergstone's mouth was not strict enough, and the news leaked in advance, so his plan could not be done.

Lao Wang thought about it again, judging from the importance of the other party in intelligence, he should be a person who will not leak key information casually, excellent leaders know the importance of intelligence, Bergstone himself said that the Swedish Navy must find its own economic growth point, so as to gain more favor, no matter how you think about it, he should be a good confidential keeper.

"I think I can say yes, oh... By the way, I don't know Bergstone's combat strength, do you have any information?" asked the team.

"I know some, it's the news I got when my rabbit cubs went ashore to drink, this Bergstone is a capable fighter, speaking of which, the Shupaia Chamber of Commerce was destroyed because of the double blow of the sea monster and the Swedish Navy, in fact, in this job, 70% of the work is done by the silver-haired handsome guy in front of us, and there are not many ships under his command, to be precise, there is only the only seedling of the Vestelos now, but I think this shows that his naval combat strength is really strong from the side. "The answer is Mary, the beautiful reporter is the artillery commander, and her sailors are fierce and aggressive, they are all idle people, and they are relatively more like to go ashore to have fun, so the sources of information are relatively wide.

"It's not easy to refuse if you take the initiative to find us, just remember to strive for more benefits. Boss Tan added.

"That's what to say. ”

Lao Wang's eyes were still staring at Bergstone, and he had already made up his mind, he took the initiative to clink glasses with Bergstone for the first time with the wine glass in his hand and said: "Our own funds are also limited, if we can cooperate with the Swedish Navy, it will be our honor." ”

"Hahahahaha. Bergstone touched the wine glass in his hand with Lao Wang's wine glass, and after drinking it all, he laughed heartily and said: "I knew that Mr. van der Kamp would promise me, that you are a resolute arms merchant, even if you are doing business, you will be as brave as you have shown in your growth, and I wish us a happy cooperation!"

Lao Wang also raised the wine glass in his hand, raised his head and toasted: "Your Excellency, we have a happy cooperation!"

Fifteen hours later, the White Tulip set sail from the port of Stockholm again, followed by the young Pride of the Swedish Navy, Vestelos, because of the previous meeting between Lao Wang and Bergstone, and the current formation sailing together, some well-informed people began to focus their attention on the very ordinary-looking four-masted Galen armed merchant ship and the little-known Van der Kamp Chamber of Commerce.

However, after paying attention, they found that whether it was a secret negotiation or this voyage, both the Chamber of Commerce and the Navy had taken very strict secrecy measures, and not a single piece of information had been leaked, and even their sailors were very strictly restricted, and the outside world had no way of knowing what they were planning.

However, it has been observed that the Swedish Admiral went to the Stockholm Palace immediately after meeting with the Dutch arms merchants, where he stayed for three hours, and then hurriedly went to the dock trading center with a royal order issued by His Majesty Gustav II himself.

Although Sweden is also a pro-Protestant country, the divine imperial power still has a great say in this northern land, especially His Majesty Gustav II, a man of great talent, whose imperial decree is completely able to influence the direction of the capital market.

After the arrangement of the exchange, Vistelos made emergency preparations for sailing, because she was originally a naval warship, and the sailors on board were all sailors, and the preparation was very fast, and it took less than 6 hours for her to appear on the Baltic Sea with the White Tulip.

The Vistelos and the White Tulip maintain a classic two-ship formation, about 300 yards apart, which is the classic two-ship cruising formation in the Orthodox Navy, and their destination is Amsterdam, the home port of the old king.

The blue and yellow flags of the Swedish Navy are very useful in the Baltic Seas, especially after the victory in the battle against the Shupaia Chamber of Commerce, their power value has increased greatly, and now even the port of Hamburg has to sell their face, so along the way, only a few armed ships looked at it from a distance, and then they all chose not to cause trouble.

Merchants of this era, There is no particularly obvious boundary between soldiers and even privateers, so both ships are loaded with copper ore from Sweden, ready to be sold in the port of Amsterdam, the destination of the voyage, the ship is not empty, which is the basis for ensuring that the maritime trade is profitable, Lao Wang roughly interrogated Bergstone's funds before setting off again, the young admiral blushed in front of Lao Wang for the first time, and reported a pitiful number in a small voice, the Swedish kronor of this unit is equivalent to about 45,000 silver horse swords, Lao Wang completely understands why this naval officer who is known as the most promising to become the next legendary admiral wants to cooperate with his own gang of running orders, he really hasn't been modest with himself, and the Swedish Navy is really poor.

After a four-and-a-half-day voyage to Amsterdam and a successful four-and-a-half-day voyage to Amsterdam and unloading the copper ore, Wang introduced Lilu to Bergstone.

The little girl, as Lao Wang's ally, is naturally also a part of the plan, but the two seem to be born to deal with each other, the little girl Lilu and Bergstone have a dispute over a little thing, and rudely call His Excellency the Admiral "the white-haired butcher", everyone in the Swedish Navy is angry, almost choking on fire, at a critical juncture, Lao Wang intervened in the middle, in the face of good words and persuasion and common interests, or Bergstone, as a gentleman, took a big belly, and no longer cared about Lilu.

Later, Bergstone was introduced by Lao Wang and Lilu to the Amsterdam Port Exchange, and the Swedish naval upstart, who claimed to carry the will of His Majesty Gustav II, showed a strong interest in the hot tulip trade, and revealed between his words the idea of increasing the value of part of the navy's military spending.

In the eyes of the shrewd Dutch businessmen, Sweden in the north has always been an extremely cold and wild land, and the Netherlands, which represents advanced civilization and capital commerce, is not at all comparable to the Netherlands, Bergstone is nothing more than a handsome bun in their eyes, but since he is willing to join this capital feast of infinite appreciation, it is not impossible to give him a mouthful.

And this was just the idea of ordinary Dutch businessmen, and the big capitalists who really drove the price of tulips soared were happy because of Bergstone's actions.

Persuaded by their persuasion and arrangement, whether intentional or unintentional, Bergstone was tempted to buy tulip bulbs, but the expensive plant quickly drained his modest savings, and the Swedish navy seemed to be unsatisfied, but the empty pockets were no longer enough for him to continue the trade.

The well-meaning Dutch bankers appeared at this time "just in time" and told Bergstone that the will of His Majesty Gustav II and the honour of the Swedish navy were of great value, and that they could lend Bergstone a sum of money at a very reasonable rate by which they could use these two things as collateral.

The northern barbarians and navy bosses in their mouths happily agreed without asking, and Bergstone even signed the loan form, not hesitating to use the Swedish Navy's privateer revenue share and part of His Majesty Gustav II's private property as collateral for the loan, this seemingly crazy behavior is normal in today's Europe, after all, tulips will continue to rise, right?

Bergstone, who was re-financed, bought a large number of tulips and began to sail back to Stockholm, perhaps his actions attracted so much attention that no one noticed that Roderick, the deck dignitary on the White Tulip, had set off with the Vestelos sailors.

After this out, the Van der Kamp Chamber of Commerce and the Argoth Chamber of Commerce, which brought back the Swedish landlords, also officially entered the sight of the Dutch capitalists, although I don't know how they got on the line with the king and navy in the backcountry, but now thanks to them, the tulip trend has swept to the most remote areas of Europe, and soon, Sweden will bring these Nordic countries together to officially join this crazy banquet.

The Van der Kamp Chamber of Commerce's White Tulip seems to have a particularly keen interest in the Nordic region, and she is also in full swing to complete the voyage, once again loaded with tulip bulbs, and follow the track of Vestelos to Stockholm again.

However, God wants to strike at this arms dealer, and the tragedy of the White Tulip began without warning at the best of the Vanderkamp Chamber of Commerce.

First of all, the White Tulip's slow sailing prepared to make them suffer a great loss, because they did not catch up with the Vistelos to return to the voyage, and they met an old friend who had a holiday when they passed through the waters of Hamburg- Ambushed by the remnants of the Shupaia Chamber of Commerce, these guys have now degenerated into outlaw pirates, under the umbrella of two three-masted converted warships, the White Tulip fought stubbornly for 4 hours, and finally more than half of the sailors on board were killed, and Mr. Van der Kamp chose to surrender, and the pirate Shupaiya robbed the whole ship of tulips and his most precious white tulip.

After the war, there were only three small boats that survived the port of Amsterdam, carrying several high-ranking officials of the Van der Kamp Chamber of Commerce and sailors who had survived the naval battle, and everyone looked disgraced, after all, all their wealth was lost, and they were penniless.

Just when everyone thought that the Van der Kamp Chamber of Commerce, which had not yet had time to emerge, was about to be short-lived, the Alliance Chamber of Commerce Argoth Chamber of Commerce showed enough friendship, and they supported the Van der Kamp Chamber of Commerce a three-masted round-bellied merchant ship, but because it was also a small Chamber of Commerce, they could not do more, so they could only let the exhausted Van der Kamp Chamber of Commerce do ordinary business first, barely survive and wait for the opportunity to turn over.

But Monsieur van der Kamp, who was a man of no faith, accepted Miss Lilu Argoth's ship, and then approached the Dutch East India Company, the big chaebol with whom he had established contact about a week earlier, and after waiting for 10 hours at the door of the other chief's house, the tenacious Mr. van der Kamp was given the opportunity to meet him.

According to the news from the servant of the head of the meeting, Mr. van der Kamp pleaded continuously, and finally took out a black clay pot, and after saying something to the head of the meeting, he actually "dared to move" the head of the meeting, who was known for his shrewdness and coldness, and agreed to provide him with the necessary support for his comeback.

Mr. Van der Kamp was also very interesting, and instead of asking the head of the council to raise money, he offered to lend him 300 boxes of tulip bulbs of the top varieties, which cost a total of 600,000 silver swords on the market, and the price kept rising.

Although the phrase "tulips are currency" has spread in the business community of the Netherlands and even the whole of Europe, it does not mean that these beautiful flowers can really be used as currency, Mr. Van der Kamp does this, it seems that there is some meaning of falling and getting up, but from the current maritime security situation, he led the round-bellied merchant ships with a lower safety factor to the sea, and I am afraid that this trend will continue to continue.

Today's privateers are like dogs that can smell tulips, and as long as they have tulips on board, they can always find the location of a cargo merchant ship, even if it is a tricky route.

Monsieur van der Kamp, however, was like a desperate fighter, ready with confidence to go to sea, and a good man took a closer look at the arms dealer, who had recently gained fame, and described it as follows:

"Mr. van der Kamp is like a desperate gambler, showing great confidence in the tulip trade, but the worrying thing is that the gambler is always confident!"
