After watching Bonnet estimate the price, John said to Bonnet, "Bonnet, all these goods are moved to your ship, and I will sell them to you." The price is as you did the math. ”

Bonnet's face bloomed with a smile. You must know that in the appraisal just now, in order to leave John more gold coins, Bonnet has lowered the price of many goods. Anyway, how could those big and coarse people know what the price of high-grade tobacco and refined white sugar that only aristocratic lords would eat, and how amazing the price of those exquisite porcelain would be. Now hearing John say this, Bonnet knew that if he really bought it at the price he had just said, he would not need to go far, as long as the ship docked and he sold it, he would be able to make a profit several times higher than buying and selling sugar and tobacco back and forth.

Before the smile had been long, Bonnet closed his mouth and retracted all his smiles, saying, "Oh, John, no, no, no, I can't do that." That's not right, I can't buy your goods at this price. ”

"Why would you refuse?" John looked at Bonnet, who refused, and felt strange: "If you buy it at this price, you shouldn't lose money, right?

Bonnet looked at John and said, "John, when I was appraising just now, I was a merchant. You know, a businessman will not let go of any opportunity to make money, and when you buy goods, you will naturally push the price down to the lowest, but now, my identity is your friend, and you can't have the idea of taking advantage of your friend when you treat your friend, if you really want to think so, you may not get a friend in the end. As he spoke, Bonnet glanced back at the crew members who were surrounding the captain to receive the gold coins, approached John and whispered, "You must know that your shipment is not just about half a box of gold coins, if they can be sold at a price that meets their price, two more boxes will not be enough." ”

John looked at Bonnet, and always felt that this fat man was not as cowardly as he looked before, and behind his timidity was sincerity to his friends and responsibility to his family. Thinking of this, John glanced at Bonnet.

It's not that John doesn't know that Bonnet can make a lot of money by buying the goods and selling them, but John doesn't care. Truth be told, the only thing John cares about in this world right now is the 'Observatory' that Edward said earlier. So now John doesn't have time to wait for the goods to be sold at the highest price little by little, although this will get the highest profit, but John now only wants to go to Nassau as soon as possible, wait for Edward to get there, and then go with him to the Observatory to see what the node of this world is.

John patted Bonnet on the shoulder: "You know I'm going to Nassau and don't have time to wait for these goods to appreciate, so I'll only sell you the goods at this time." As for how much you can earn, it's none of my business. So, you can buy these goods with confidence. If you don't want to go, then the next time we meet, give me the money you think you should give me. ”

Bonnet knew that this was John's excuse, although it was true in the first half. After hesitating again for a moment, Bonnet raised his head and nodded, "Okay, okay, if you insist, my friend." But you also know that I don't have any pounds ready for you right now, and I will not be able to afford them until I get to England and I sell my goods. John waved his hand, "It's okay. If you can't get it out for a while, then just give it to me next time. ”

John didn't care about Bonnet, and walked straight to the sailors who were cheering with gold coins: "All right, boys. Now this pirate ship is my thing. ”

"Boss John is amazing!" the sailors cheered, holding the gold coins they had just gotten in their hands.

John looked at them and waved, waited for them to calm down, and said, "Boys, now there's a problem. I can't get this ship to port alone. ”

Hearing John say this, the sailors stopped shouting and looked in John's direction.

When John saw that the sailors had calmed down, he said, "Now, give you a chance." Half of you can work on this ship before it docks. ”

Hearing this, the sailors continued to cheer again.

It is important to know that living on a ship is not very comfortable – even very uncomfortable. To know that on ships of the Age of Discovery, the crew could only live in the cabin. At this time, there is no technology to open a window in the cabin to let in air, and it is not a comfortable experience for a group of people to be crammed into a small cabin. And now there is no technology to carry large quantities of fresh water, and if the crew is not used to the feeling of feeling uncomfortable after bathing in seawater, they can only wait for a rain to rain and take a shower on the deck.

Think about it, a large group of big men who haven't bathed in a long time are crammed into the cramped cabin, sailing on the tropical and subtropical seas, enjoying the heat and stuffiness.

It's not a good place on deck either, and if you stay a little longer, the scorching sun can dry all the skins of people until they fall off. It's better to hide in the cabin than to get sunburned.

However, now that there is an extra boat, everyone will have more space to move around, and although they need to work during the time when they could have rested, everyone is happy to think that they can be more comfortable when they take a break.

John didn't finish speaking, but gestured with his hand, and after everyone was quieter, he said, "Because this job is not what you said before you got on the ship, I have decided that the crew to work on my ship is not fixed, and everyone will take turns." At the same time, everyone will be paid not only as you agreed with Bonnet, but I will also pay you a salary for working on my ship. Think about it, you'll be working a little more, but when we get to our destination, you'll get double paid when you get off the ship!"

Hearing that he had not only received a bonus, but also double his salary, the sailor was naturally even happier.

Looking at the sailors cheering on the two ships, celebrating with rum and other food, Bonnet said to John with some admiration, "Seriously, you are such a natural captain. Look at it," said Bonnet, pointing to the cheering sailors, "though they are the sailors I have personally recruited, they have never looked at me with such eyes, a look of adoration and admiration. I somewhat understood that although I loved sailing, I was not fit to lead a ship, and I did not have the ability to control these sailors. If I'm going to go to sea in the future, John, can you help me if you have time?"

John looked into Bonnet's eyes and felt that the expression contained in them was different from before. After thinking about it, John nodded.
