140. The self-esteem of a businessman
"Hurry, hurry! There's no need to live in the cabin! Throw everything you can to shore! β
Captain Sina shouted at the sailors on board, who had been shouting like this in the cold wind for almost three hours.
When the cold wind hit, Captain Sina unscrewed a glass with the label of 'Erguotou' in his hand and poured the liquor into his mouth.
The heat in his throat made him not feel the cold corroding.
Captain Sina has been a merchant for so many years, and he really has never seen such a generous trading method in Lucheng, and it should not be said that it is generous... When Lu Cheng talked to him about business, his words and deeds revealed 'Go away!' You damn money, get out of the hands of everyone else. β
Captain Sina really only has this feeling, if Lucheng is a woman, he will definitely think that Lucheng is the embodiment of the goddess of wealth!
When he came to Scarre, he was still racking his brains about how to sell the 3,000 refugees for a high price, but before he could start bragging, Lu Cheng waved his hand and directly gave him a price that he could not refuse, to be precise, the goods that he could not refuse.
That's two of his merchant ships, and they give as much cargo as they can carry.
Captain Sina almost lost his excitement when he heard this, and he fainted with a heart attack.
But he wasn't carried away by the excitement, and Captain Sina was thrilled by the fact that Lucheng had given him so much cargo.
Captain Sina thought calmly, the White Salt Chamber of Commerce was likely to become a transportation chamber of commerce dedicated to Lucheng in the future.
Now that Captain Sina sells such a powerful thing as Erguotou, who would consider buying a commodity with a meager profit like sea salt?
Captain Sina was sure that the market potential in the Far Southern Empire was amazing, and the nobles in the upper echelons were worried that their own wine would not be enough.
In addition, Lu Cheng also provided him with many goods that he had never seen before, each of which had its own market potential and value.
"I've never seen the text on these goods, not like the Far South, not like the half-elf text."
The accountant had a thick ledger in his hand counting the goods that Captain Sinna's sailors had brought aboard, and he glanced at all the goods on the ship, the boxes were made of materials he had never seen before, and the words were words that he had never seen before.
"What is so much nonsense! Don't keep the ledger yet! Help get the bed in the cabin off the boat! β
One of the advantages of Captain Sina's business is that the place that should be meticulous must be meticulous, such as the ledger and other things, but where this kind of goods comes from is not something that Captain Sina needs to care about.
The accountant didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he put down the ledger and ran with the sailors to the cabin, throwing the furniture inside off the ship one by one.
For the first time in all these years, Captain Sina felt that the bed was too much of an eyesore and took up too much space.
He poured another sip of Erguotou, and saw that Lu Cheng was waving at him on the shore, and Captain Sina immediately staggered from the deck to the shore, and followed Lu Cheng all the way back to the tent.
"Can you sell so many goods?"
Lu Cheng watched through the window of the tent as the sailors carried the cardboard boxes into the cabin of the Laughter, which was already filled with a full fifty tons of cargo, which filled an entire cargo hold.
When Captain Xina heard this, his dream of going to the pinnacle of life by selling two pots was poured by Lu Cheng... Ice slag.
"It's... Your Excellency, don't worry, I..."
"Your voice is too empty, you want to continue to do this deal with me, what I need is your credit."
Lu Cheng interrupted Captain Xinna's stammering words, he finished a whole bottle of Erguotou, and his mind had begun to gradually enter a state of unconsciousness.
"I... Possible... Can't eat. Captain Sina stammered one of the most humiliating things for the merchants, that is, the goods that came in could not be sold by themselves!
If Captain Sina was a merchant from another country, he might be able to guarantee the sale of this shipment, but he was a merchant from the Far South, and one or two boxes of lighters would not change the current situation in the Far South, and the two major chambers of commerce in the Far South would turn a blind eye.
But all the goods that Road City gave him were brand new! The sale of all these commodities to the Far South is bound to bring an unimaginable impact to the old markets of the Far South, which the two major chambers of commerce in the Far South do not want to see.
Not to mention that Captain Sina was sold, even if the two cargo ships arrived in the Far South port, and his sailors revealed the news of the cargo on the cargo ship, Captain Sina might be killed.
"I suggest you find a backer in the Far South." Lu Cheng said.
"Leaning against the mountains?" Captain Sina did not understand the unique Chinese metaphor of Lu Cheng.
"It's the big people and forces that are attached, I can recommend one to you."
Lu Cheng didn't want this honest captain to be embezzled on his first day back in the Far South, and the people were thrown into the sea to feed the sharks.
"Do you know the big names of the Empire?"
Captain Sina rubbed his hands with some excitement when he heard this, but after he finished rubbing his hands, he found... If you want to compete with the two major chambers of commerce in the Far South, you can't find them anywhere.
"It's not that I know, I just know the whereabouts of one of the big men, Count Lionheart, do you know?" Lu Cheng said to the merchant.
"Of course I do! Every Far South has heard of Lionheart, and you mean Mr. Murray, Earl of Lionheart, who is rumored to be a man of integrity, but my status in the Far South is too humble to be qualified to meet the Earl. β
Captain Sinna's usual social circle is at most the Viscount of the Far South, like Count Lionheart, who has a separate earldom, is a figure he can't even think of, at most he can look at it from a distance at the ball.
"You're lucky, Count Lionheart is now cultivating in Black Sword City, and you're still alone... You can take a small boat to Black Sword City when you are about to arrive in the Far South, and I can arrange for you to meet Count Lionheart. β
Lu Cheng observed the character of the Lionheart Count through Zhou Hua in this week, he is a typical knight character, rigid, serious, and has absolute loyalty to the emperor, and secondly, there is also the concept of force in the Far South, but his attitude towards the weak is more 'maybe this person still has the potential to become stronger'.
To have such a character of loyalty and righteousness is really a blessing for the emperor of the Far South.
"Thisβ" Captain Sina hesitated and hesitated at this moment, and whoever knew that he wanted to meet the top leaders of his country would be uneasy.
"If you want to say no, it's too late." Lu Cheng had a smile that sent chills down the sleeve down Captain Sina's face.
"Refuse..."
Captain Sina began to feel that something was not quite right, it should have been a joy to get so many best-selling goods, these goods were almost free, and the two pleasures would obviously be doubled when they were combined, but Captain Sina thought about it... He's carrying a bomb ship!
The threat of the two major chambers of commerce is one of them, and the other is that Lucheng only accepts immigrants and does not accept currency, and if Captain Sina wants to trade for a long time, the large number of immigrants he brings with him will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the Far South.
Now the only way Captain Sina can save his life is to sell this batch of goods to the Dragon Scale Chamber of Commerce and the Sword Banner Chamber of Commerce! Then tell them the channels of trade, so that he can get money and save his life.
But sell to those two competitors who have been suppressing and bullying him? Continue to bite their tails and pray for a sip of soup? No! Of course not! Captain Sina's self-esteem as a merchant wouldn't allow him to do so!
"Your Excellency! I'll definitely sell them! Then buy a bigger boat! β
Captain Xina unscrewed the cap of the second pot again, drank the liquor in it to Tuntun Tun, and then stood up abruptly and said.
"Then I wish you good fortune."
Lu Cheng made a gesture of please, and Captain Sina lifted his belt and made up his mind to walk out of the tent, but soon after he had gone out he collapsed to the ground unconscious.
The captain drank the second pot head and drank it to pieces.
