Chapter 169: Trash

It's been two weeks since the Jackdaw went to sea, and the farce in front of the warehouse has been going on for two whole weeks.

Although most of the things were worthless, there were many people who couldn't stand it, and Karina also spent thirty or forty gold coins one after another, in exchange for a pile of useless garbage in Marlon's mouth.

The only thing of little value in it was about twelve boxes of potatoes, but they didn't sell for much in the colony, and it was obviously more than worth the cost to make the Breeze run for such a small thing.

No one knew what the businesswoman was trying to do, but even so, the Black Merchants Alliance immediately responded by issuing a statement that any pirate who cooperated with Karina would always get the lowest price for selling loot on the Alliance's side in the future.

This also meant that the Black Merchant Alliance began to blockade Karina, and Malcolm's response was simple and straightforward, and as soon as this statement came out, the quality of what the businesswoman could receive became even worse, but any ideal pirate had to weigh it carefully when selling it to Karina.

Of course, those guys who ate the last meal and didn't eat the next meal are still not affected, they don't think about tomorrow at all, and they will go wherever they give more money, but these people are not the target group of the Black Merchants Alliance, and Malcolm thinks it's good to let these guys disgust Karina.

The businesswoman's second-hand goods trading office is now nicknamed a garbage yard by the islanders, and many merchants from the Black Merchants League are waiting to see the joke.

Malone was also depressed during this time, and the people who knew him on the island were asking him when he was going to bring the scrap to the colony to sell, so the captain of the Breeze simply hid in the yard and did not go out until the men sent by Karina found him.

"Going to sea tonight?" Malone smiled wryly as he got up from the bed and got dressed, "No kidding, are you really going to listen to those guys and transport those piles of things to Boston and New York?" Who do we look for to acquire? How much does it cost, and how much profit does it take? ”

"I've already arranged manpower over there in advance, as long as you transport the goods over, someone will take over, and you can go back to Nassau at that time."

What the captain of the Breeze didn't expect was that the next moment the businesswoman actually walked in directly through the door.

Malone was taken aback, but fortunately he had already put on his pants, and then he heard Karina say to the naked maid on the side, "Can you give us some time to talk?" ”

The latter smiled slightly, gave the businesswoman a flying kiss, and then picked up the clothes on the bench and twisted her ass and left the room.

Karina asked the sailor who had come to inform Marlon to close the door, stood at the door, took the wine bottle on the table, poured herself a glass, moistened her throat, and said, "Can you carry the goods on board in the afternoon?" ”

Malone shrugged his shoulders, "I need to gather the sailors first, procure supplies for going to sea, fill the ship with water, and check the sail loads...... So, almost, if you insist, we'll be able to get out of here before sunset. ”

"Very good, don't be in a hurry, I'll leave after dark."

Malone frowned, "Traveling overnight? Is it because you are afraid that those boxes of potatoes will sprout? ”

Karina heard the teasing tone in the Captain of the Breeze, leaned back, rubbed her temples, and said a little tiredly, "Do you know how much money we've lost during this time?" ”

"I know you probably don't like to hear it, but I have to say I warned you a long time ago that if we can make money from those guys, you don't have to ask the captains who worked with your father back in the first place."

"I didn't expect to make any money from them, at least not yet." Karina said, "I just need them to help me send a message that the pirates on the island can make more money by working with me than by working with the Black Merchant Alliance." ”

"I'm pretty sure Malcolm got your message too, so he got the Black Traders Alliance to make a statement, and now the powerful pirates on the island won't come to us."

"No, they're just not coming to us on the surface."

"What do you mean?"

"When I was very young, my father always told me stories about how brave and fearless the people here were, and their courage to chase wealth without any rules, and there were many people who thought that the captains were on the side of the Black Merchants Alliance because they had a contract with the Black Merchants Alliance, but in fact it was not like that, most of them didn't care about what was written on it, they chose the Black Merchants Alliance because it could provide them with a higher income, so that they could feed their men and sit in the captain's position."

"That's fine, but that's why they won't leave the Black Merchant Alliance and choose to cooperate with us." Malone sighed, "Do you know what I've heard people say about us here during this time? ”

The businesswoman raised an eyebrow.

"Those bastards don't think we can stay long, and they believe that the Jackdaw is willing to continue working with us because ......"

The captain of the Breeze stopped talking.

"Am I tapping into my talent as a woman?"

"That's pretty much what it means, everyone here seems to think that sooner or later we'll be kicked out of Nassau by Malcolm and his alliance of black traders, and with all due respect, no one would choose to cooperate with us in such a situation."

"What I'm doing now isn't trying to build a long-term relationship with anyone," Karina says, "I'm just giving them a way to make extra money." ”

"Extra money?" Malone didn't quite understand what businesswoman meant.

"My target is not the pirates in the top range, the Black Merchant Alliance has already fed them very well, and those guys in the third and fourth intervals have little hope to be honest, but many of the pirates in the first and second intervals have good strength, but because they were established relatively late like the Jackdaw, the Black Merchant Alliance has lowered the purchase price for them, and I can offer nearly 20% more price, which should still be quite tempting to them, but the premise is that the transaction between our two sides is not known by the Black Merchant Alliance."

"How is this possible? Once my Breeze is out at sea, everyone will know ......" Malone said at this point and suddenly stopped, his eyes widening, "You've been buying that junk for the past two weeks, are you just preparing for this?" ”

Anne nodded, "About five days ago, the helmsman of a ship secretly contacted me and wanted to sell a batch of cotton cloth, which was of high quality, and they were a little dissatisfied with the price of the Black Merchants Alliance, so they found me, and now that shipment is in our warehouse, I need you to help me ship it to Boston, Jim has already gone there first, and he will contact the merchant to buy it directly." ”
