Chapter 63: This is the Merchant
[We are the God of Wealth Chamber of Commerce from the mysterious country of the far east! ββIn the age of sailing, when I went to the West, I shouted this, anyway, Chang Sedum is indeed an oriental face. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
[We are the God of Wealth Chamber of Commerce from the mysterious country of the far west! - In the age of sailing, when you go to an Eastern country, you call this, anyway, Captain Liz is indeed a Western face.
[We are the God of Wealth Chamber of Commerce from a distant earth! - In the interstellar era, when you go to the territory of aliens, you will shout this, anyway, all the crew members look like humans.
[We are the God of Wealth Chamber of Commerce from a distant alien! ββIn the interstellar era, when you go to the territory of the earthlings, you call this, anyway, it is not the earthlings of that world.
This is the unified identity setting proposed by Sedum, no matter where you go, you adhere to the principle of "because we are distant businessmen who come to this place for the first time, so it is normal to have no identity and common sense". Let's not talk about whether you can make the other party believe your own words without brains, anyway, compared to Liz's "I'm a game character from another world", I will definitely be able to avoid more trouble.
Unless you encounter an executive who exercises state power on behalf of the emperor, the court, and the government, or a mentally retarded person who doesn't even know how to look at your face, feel the atmosphere, talk to people, or evaluate the comparison of strength, after coming up with this kind of argument, even if the other party has doubts in her heart, she is unlikely to continue to ask.
β just like Raphael now.
ββ¦β¦ What a strange merchant ship. "There are a thousand words in my belly, especially to say, 'Magellan circumnavigated the world decades ago, why didn't he discover such a mysterious country in the East', but looking at the guests who jumped from the Fortuna to their deck at a considerable distance, and turned out to be nothing, Raphael only held back this sentence.
No matter how important curiosity is, it is not as important as one's own life, especially if you don't know the details of the other party.
"I just want to say one thing, this ship was designed by this guy." Liz pointed to Sedum.
Maybe it's like 'shouting out the key words with your mouth to make moves in the system', but at first I feel ashamed, and after shouting out the habit, rhythm, and momentum, I don't mind at all. But at this stage, he still feels that this gold ingot shape is very embarrassing.
It's a pity that Sedum didn't have this consciousness at all, and patted his chest proudly: "Hmph~~ This is the only merchant ship in the whole world~!" β
Liz nodded approvingly: "Indeed, your "God of Wealth" that people can't see the sea when they stand on the deck, and people can't see the sea in front of them when they stand on the bridge, is the only one if there is no accident." β
"Uh, that's it...... If there is no circle higher than the middle, and the front and back are not high, then it is not a gold ingot. Sedum scratched his head and said, he finally heard the irony of this sentence, this is a pure functional defect, "Besides, there is a screen inside the control room to see the situation outside, and there is radar assistance, that's it." β
"yes, I'm glad I have my merchant marine system to make up for it." Well, it's 'mending the pot', which means that the pot still goes through the hole.
"That...... Screen? Radar? Raphael, who was directly in front of them, said that he seemed to hear sounds he had never heard before.
"Huh? Ah~ I don't have time to explain," Liz used the eloquence skills he learned in "Metal Slug World" and forcibly brought the rhythm, "Let's go to the cabin to see the cargo first?" β
ββ¦β¦ A few of you, please come to me. "Raphael has a 'are you in a hurry now' expression, but thinking about the other party's coming over to inspect the goods without stopping at the dock, is it really in a hurry? You can only see the trick first.
Liz, Sedum, and Sakiya followed Raphael into the cabin.
"Uh-huh......!" As soon as they stepped into the cabin, Liz and Sedum frowned in unison, and only the maid was able to maintain the same poker face as before.
Without him, it just smells bad.
This is a sailboat, 18 kilometers per hour is even the top speed of the sailboat, just go out to sea for more than ten days, there is a shortage of fresh water on board, and it is necessary to guard against emergencies, it is impossible for all the crew to waste water every day to maintain personal hygiene. The deck was ok, but the smell of the cabin perfectly reflected the hygiene of the sailors.
Of course, this is the norm for seafarers in this era, and even Raphael, who looks like a rich boy, has long been accustomed to this kind of life and this strong smell.
It's just that Liz and the others, who enjoy all the benefits they can enjoy in the "Overworld" in "Fortuna", can't accept it - incidentally, this is the only time they went to someone else's cabin to inspect the goods.
ββ¦β¦ Here it is. At Raphael's signal, his friend cautiously opened the door of the hold, lit an oil lamp and brought it in, and then took a bundle of cotton from the crammed hold.
"I don't think it's necessary...... But at this time, it's still you, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, who decides, right? "Leeds' by 'unnecessary' means that clothes in the Overworld can be met through 'clothing vending machines', and cotton fabrics don't make much sense to be set up in a shopping street.
"I must buy it~ There is always a way to sell it~ Besides, this quality is very good!" Sedum started from the perspective of 'definitely not losing', well, sure enough, he is the one who can make money.
Both of them are right, they just have different starting points.
Raphael...... Is it? "Sedum had a 'kind smile' on his face, and this smile finally reassured Raphael and his friends - this is the smile of a merchant or a profiteer! Sure enough, it's a peer!
"We want to buy your goods, but because we are from a distant eastern country and don't have your currency, may I ask ......" In order to cover up the storage space, a heavy cloth bag was already hanging from the waist of Sedum, which had been prepared for a long time, and now it is removed and opened, "Can you accept them in exchange?" β
"This, this is gold?!" Raphael's friend received a nod of approval from Sedum and carefully pulled out a gold ingot from his cloth bag and examined it.
ββ¦β¦ It's lapis lazuli, right? It's really rare to have such a high purity, is the quantity enough? Raphael, who was more of a general, did not inspect the more valuable gold, but the little blue stones, and had already planned how to spread fashionable rumors about lapis lazuli ornaments in the major cities of the Mediterranean.
Cough...... He's a businessman, isn't he......
"Whether it's gold or lapis lazuli, we have a lot of them, because the mysterious eastern country is very rich~" Sedum patted his chest and said, but the next moment the conversation changed, "It's just that it shouldn't take much to buy all the goods in your cabin, right?" β
"That's true, but there's still a lot of room for us to work together." Raphael finally smiled.
"Haha~~ In this case, I can make some concessions on the price, so I should make a friend~~" Sedum's smile was even brighter.
Of course
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
In the eyes of Liz and Sakiya, this is two profiteers making a dirty deal.
