Volume 3 The End of the World Section 6 Buying a Boat
After a while, the old accountant finally figured out who the captain was, and hurriedly stepped forward to shake hands affectionately, and said some sorry words.
"I'll get the money." The captain said impatiently.
The old accountant nodded and said "yes" three times in a row, returned to the counter with his back bent, took out a thick account book the size of half a tabletop, took out a magnifying glass, and carefully examined the accounts the size of mung beans on it.
After about ten minutes, the old accountant straightened up and said, "Uncle, you have a deposit of 20 gold coins here, do you want to withdraw them all?" ”
"Huh?" The captain's face opened his mouth wide in disbelief, then he frowned, and said in a deep voice, "You guys are a black shop, are you missing a zero, I obviously saved 200 gold last time, how did it become 20 gold." ”
"This ...... Please wait and I'll take a look. The old accountant looked down for a while, frowned and said, "No, this clearly says 20 gold, which was only deposited this spring." ”
"You must be dizzy, 200 gold, that's right, when did I lie to you." The captain said with a sense of confidence.
"Yes...... But ......"
"Why, look......" said the captain, holding out two fingers together, and then asked the old accountant, "how much is this?" ”
The old accountant raised his reading glasses, squinted his eyes and looked closer, and replied uncertainly, "That's ...... This is the 'one'. ”
"Look, these are two fingers, and it's two, but you say it's one." The captain said, spreading his fingers.
The old accountant laughed dryly and said, "I'm old, I'm a little can't see clearly, 200 gold, okay, I'll get it for you." With that, the old accountant took out a brass key from his coat pocket, turned around and went to open the safe in the back.
Seeing that he was about to succeed, the captain grinned at Wu Congyun, and his smug look was really a bit obscene.
At this moment, a crisp voice suddenly sounded beside him, "Third grandfather!" Don't believe him, he's a big liar. ”
The captain chuckled in his heart, and subconsciously turned his head to look, only to see a young girl open the curtain in the back room and walk out.
This girl is in her twenty-eighth year, and she exudes a domineering youthful atmosphere. In the afternoon sun, her skin was dazzlingly white, and the roundness and fullness of her chest were even more shocking, and just looking at it made people's hearts move and make them want to commit crimes......
The captain knows her, her name is Ling Zhenyu, she is the second lady of the Ling family in Luoyan Town, and this shipyard (armed flying geese) is the property of the Ling family.
"Second Miss, long time no see." The captain said with a smile on his face, but in fact, he hated it in his heart. Kill an elf ghost halfway through, and let his plan go to naught.
After coming out, Ling Zhenyu stared at the captain intently, and the light waves in his eyes flowed, as if he was about to drip water. She has the kind of face shape with a wide face and pointed chin, coupled with these big smart eyes, and a slightly pursed small mouth, she is so cute that she is about to explode.
The captain felt an inexplicable feeling of weakness and was about to turn his head to look away. At this moment, Ling Zhenyu suddenly stretched out two shallot-like fingers and asked him, "How much is this?" ”
"I can't see clearly." The captain replied in a serious manner, and suggested, "Come closer." ”
Seeing that the captain lightly resolved the other party's way of treating others with his own way, Wu Congyun, who was waiting on the side, secretly sighed, "What an old rascal, it's so shameless." ”
The girl bit her lip, pulled the old accountant back to the counter, glanced at the account book, and then said with a straight face, "20 gold, interest 1 silver, do you withdraw them all?" ”
But the captain replied, "I want to buy a ship." ”
"Buy a boat, good, good! Good thing, big business. The old accountant's eyes lit up.
"What boat to buy? In addition......" Ling Zhenyu couldn't help but roll his eyes and asked, "Do you have any money?" ”
"Brother is crisscrossing the seven seas, will he be short of money?" The captain replied confidently.
"Is it uncle?" Ling Zhenyu reminded. Although she was dismissive, she brought a list of fishing boats.
The captain sat down on the couch and flipped through the pages. After a while, the captain turned to the last page, pointed to one of them and said, "I want this, nuclear-powered." ”
Ling Zhenyu took a closer look, this was the information of the "Deep Sea Explorer", the highest-level ship that armed flying geese could build.
"The basic budget is 7650 gold, uncle, are you sure you have enough money?"
"Uncle Across the Seven Seas......"
Ling Zhenyu interrupted him, wrinkled his little nose, and said, "I have a lot of beard, can you say something serious?" ”
The captain grinned, patted his head, flipped to the first page of the list, pointed to one of the items and said, "I want this." ”
"Sloop...... Are you sure you can go to sea? "Just add a small fuel engine, which is usually driven by the wind."
"Okay, the budget is 575 gold, and since you are a regular customer, Zhenyu will give you a discount on his own initiative, a total of 560 gold." Ling Zhenyu said businesslikely.
"Look at the ...... for years," the captain said with a malicious smile and a long voice.
"One price, 500 gold, it can't be lower!" Ling Zhenyu gritted his teeth and said.
The captain nodded, and said to himself, "That's right, if you look any lower, your dad will spank you." ”
"You...... Your dad just beat you...... Your whole family is ...... It's all ......" Ling Zhenyu blushed and was a little incoherent. Later, the captain asked to talk to her alone, but she refused without thinking.
"Come on, let's have a good talk." The captain changed his tone and persuaded in a deep, deep voice.
"Don't." "Let's talk about the details." "Let's talk about it here~" "There are some design issues I want to keep secret, such as the placement of the safe and the location of the emergency switch. ”
The captain begged for a while, and finally Ling Zhenyu couldn't stand his soft grinding and hard bubbles, and took him into the VIP room.
Closing the door, the captain grinned and grabbed Ling Zhenyu's little hand and kissed it. Ling Zhenyu didn't resist, she glared at him with her eyes down, her mouth pursed, and she let out a "hum".
"I miss you, do you miss me?" The captain said cheekily.
"Cut~ If it weren't for the poisonous spider snatching your boat back, you would still remember who I am~" Ling Zhenyu said unhappily.
"Such a beautiful chick, how can you forget." "Bad guy ......" pulled and pulled, and the two held hands with their fingers interlocked......
Half an hour later......
There was a knock on the door to the VIP room.
The two quickly sat down, each picked up the information, and posed as if they were negotiating.
"Please come in." Ling Zhenyu shouted. After receiving her answer, a man with a sword eyebrow walked in. "Brother, why are you here?" Ling Zhenyu exclaimed. The man didn't speak, but walked straight up to the captain and glanced around. Some details show that this is not like a negotiation site.
"You want to buy a boat?" The man asked.
The captain nodded, the man in front of him was called Ling Tianqi, the eldest son of the Ling family, and the person in charge of the armed flying geese.
"I heard from the third master, the dhow you want is out of stock now, and the second sister doesn't know the market, so she quoted the wrong price, and the budget is 820 gold." Ling Tianqi said.
"Brother......" Ling Zhenyu coquettishly pushed Ling Tianqi's shoulder.
"What do you mean? By the way, what about my Ichthyosaurus? I just sent it the morning before yesterday, why is it missing? The captain said with a dark face.
"You ......" Ling Tianqi pointed at the captain, unable to speak for a long time.
Seeing that the atmosphere had become stiff, Ling Zhenyu pursed his lips and smiled, and started a round, "Don't make trouble, you two slept together when you were drunk last time." ”
"Impossible!" "No, it won't." The two denied it in unison. After this little episode, they sat down face to face and talked seriously.
Ling Tianqi suggested that the captain buy a second-hand fishing boat. Some time ago, the captain of the "Beidou" was short of money and mortgaged the ship to the shipyard. Now that the redemption period has passed, the shipyard is free to dispose of it. It was a frigate-class ship, powered by a fuel turbine engine, loaded with six cannons, with excellent performance and a very cheap price, selling for only 650 gold.
The captain frowned and thought for a while, this was not some kind of fragrant bait, but Ling Tianqi was going to cause trouble. The shipyard didn't want to offend the captain of the Beidou, and didn't want to break the rules, so the best thing to do was to find someone to take over. In the future, if the captain of the Beidou wants to come back, he can only find trouble. As for the rest of the matter, no matter how they fight to the death, it has nothing to do with the shipyard anyway.
However, they are all black pirates, and they have no scruples about this. It's just that the profit is too small, and it also causes trouble, which is a bit uneconomical.
"Second-hand pirate ship, isn't this price too high?" The captain said.
"How much money do you have?" Ling Tianqi asked.
The captain grinned and said, "All the family property is with your third master." ”
"Damn! 20 gold dare to buy a boat! Ling Tianqi scolded in a lost voice.
"On credit." "No way!" "Brother." "Who is your brother...... "Big brother." "Who's your big brother!"
The captain saw that the soft one couldn't do it, so he had to come to the hard one and threatened, "Ling Tianqi, don't be embarrassed, the captain of the Arctic is a high-level brass insect mutant, you can't afford to offend." ”
"Isn't it just a brass? If he dares to make trouble, Lao Tzu bombarded him! Ling Tianqi slapped the table and shouted.
"Why are you so excited?" The captain said.
"Brother, it's angry and hurts your body." Ling Zhenyu also persuaded him.
"That's it, the price is 500 gold, don't forget it." "For the sake of many years of friendship, how about 480 gold?" "Deal!"
As soon as Ling Tianqi's words fell, the captain regretted it. He felt that the price was too little, after all, in this sea area, there were not many people who dared to take this potato that burned their hands. In order to maintain dignity and decency, the shipyard will sell the ship even if it cannot find a buyer, even if it is as low as 1 silver coin.
"Let's take a little credit first, I just took over a big business, and I'm going to send a big donor across the sea, at least 500 gold income." The captain exaggerated and said an extra 200 gold. However, how did he know that the so-called big donor was moving boxes at the nearby dock, and was actually poorer than him.
"At least give half of the money first, 240 gold." Ling Tianqi said helplessly.
"I'm going to apply for a loan." The captain said seriously. In this area, most of the shipyards provide capital deposit and turnover operations, which are equivalent to private banks for deep-sea fishermen.
"No, you have too many bad records."
"That's right......," said the captain, "I am the first mate of the Ichthyosaurus, and I take out a loan in the name of Captain Yuluo." ”
"No way!" Ling Tianqi categorically refused, how could there be any reason to take out a loan in someone else's name, and he was also a poisonous spider one of the Great Evil Stars of the Black Sea.
"She can lift my ship in the name of the captain, I can't take out a loan in her name, Ling Tianqi, do you have any principles? Do you have any industry ethics? The captain said justifiably.
In the end, under the coercion and temptation of the captain, Ling Tianqi was forced to agree to a loan of 50 gold, plus the original deposit, now there is 70 gold, and 170 gold is needed to pick up the ship. The captain swore that he would be able to get the money back immediately, leaving the first mate to cooperate with the transformation of the Beidou, and then left the shipyard with Wu Congyun.
Before leaving, Ling Zhenyu secretly stuffed a delicate small money bag, opened it and saw that there was 32 gold inside.
"That's good." The captain leaned in and kissed him several times.
In front of everyone's eyes, Ling Zhenyu was ashamed and annoyed, wiped the saliva on her face, turned around and ran......
