"Huh? It's Alfred, come in! Hedlam opened the door wearing a sailor's sweatshirt, and after seeing Xu Mo outside the door, he let him enter the room, "It's so late, do you have something to do with me?" ”

"Admiral, during the battle meeting, I heard you say that after this battle, we will be declared pirates by His Majesty the King, and we will never be able to return to Stockholm, right?" Xu Mo asked quietly.

"No, we can still go back to Stockholm after this thing fades, and it will probably take a year or two. However, Queen Elizabeth of England is already very old, and if she dies, we may be able to return to Stockholm early. "If you don't have anyone in Stockholm who can't be reassured, we can ask other Swedish ships to help us bring the letter back." ”

"I'm the only one in the Anderson family, there's nothing to worry about, I'm just worried about our future supply problems!" Xu Mo said calmly.

"Hehe, Alfred, you've improved and know how to think about the ship's supplies!" Hedram smiled and said, "Don't worry, there are many ports in the Mediterranean that are neutral, and they don't care if you are a pirate or not." We can exchange supplies with the goods obtained from the privateering, and His Majesty will not forget us, and we will receive some assistance on a regular basis. ”

"But Your Excellency, originally we had a privateer license, and the goods obtained from the privateer could be sold in the ports of our own country and our allies, and the prices of the goods would not be lowered by the major chambers of commerce. However, if it is sold to a neutral port, I am afraid that the price will be very low! In this way, the materials we have obtained through hard work will be cheapened by others, and we will not be able to develop and grow ourselves, which is equivalent to standing still. Xu Mo said lightly.

"Alfred, do you have any ideas?" Hedram's eyes flashed, he looked at Xu Mo and said, "Tell me what you think, if we can also develop and grow during our overseas wanderings, then you will be meritorious again!" ”

"Your Excellency, Amsterdam is currently the largest trading port in the world, and the amount of goods that change hands here every day is unimaginable. Anything in the world can be found here, even if the booty looted by pirates at sea is placed here, it will disappear without a trace like a small drop of water dripping into the sea, why can't we sell the goods of the privateer here? Xu Mo said with a faint smile.

"But we are pirates and cannot enter the port...... You mean getting a surrogate? Hedram reacted quickly, paced around the room with his chin in his hands, and began to think about the feasibility of the matter, "This agent can't be official, the Netherlands is still in alliance with England for the time being, and it can't be a big trading house, otherwise the price will still be lowered, so ......"

"It can only be a small private chamber of commerce, and this chamber of commerce is best a local chamber of commerce headquartered in Amsterdam, well-connected, familiar with the major trading houses, and at the same time its own business scale is not large, willing to accept the goods obtained by our privateers!" Xu Mo said with a smile.

"The little girl on the dock!" Hudram and Xu Mo said at the same time, and after speaking, the two glanced at each other and laughed knowingly.

"It's too late, tomorrow, I'll send someone over to talk to that little girl!" Hedlam's eyes sparkled, if the privateer fleet could grow and grow while it was wandering abroad, it would indeed be a very meaningful thing for Sweden's already weak maritime power.

"Admiral, the officer on our ship doesn't have a good impression of that little girl, who are you going to send to negotiate?" Seeing Hedram pacing around excitedly, Xu Mo's eyes flashed and he said leisurely.

"This ......" Hedram was suddenly embarrassed, he knew what kind of virtue his crew had. Even if there is no dock, those machismos don't look down on women (here they refer to career-oriented strong women), and then Hedlam's eyes lit up, and the bell must be tied to the bell.

"Just because I'm giving you advice doesn't mean I'm happy to deal with that arrogant dead girl." Xu Mo saw Hedlam's eyes, looked at him with a flutter, and immediately raised his hands and said angrily, "However, I can recommend someone to you!" ”

……

Early in the morning, a four-wheeled carriage came in front of an old Gothic building in Amsterdam, and out of the carriage came a man and a woman, the man was tall and muscular, dressed in a servant's clothes, and the woman was dressed in a white princess dress and a black veil, and it looked like a noblewoman with her escort to visit her master.

The old Gothic house in front of them, although old, was very large, with an elegant classical style, and was decorated by the owner with some colorful decorations to resemble a venue for a celebration. The door of the house is unlocked, and above the gate there is a bronze plaque engraved with the words "Argotic Chamber of Commerce".

"Is President Argot here?" Two strangers pushed open the door and entered the hall of the Gothic building, which was not large, but it was very lively, and there were many small merchants in simple clothes who were eagerly talking and deliberating.

"Are you looking for President Argot?" A waitress with a smile on her face saw a guest coming in, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.

"Yes, we have a big business to talk to President Argot!" The beautiful lady among the strangers lifted her monocle and said gracefully, "This is my entourage!" ”

"Please follow me!" The waiter politely led the two to the third floor of the Chamber of Commerce, and after walking through a red carpet, he came to the door of a large room and knocked on the door, "Miss Lilu, there is a guest looking for you!" ”

"Ahh I'll be right away. Soon, a girl in a green dress came out of the big room, with a friendly smile, and brought the guests into her room, and after the two guests entered the room, she immediately turned around and whispered to the waiter, "Kaya, how many times have you told you, don't call me Miss, call me President Argot, and get Camille for me, that kid can't just eat and not work!" ”

After finishing speaking, he immediately turned around and put on a cute smile again, and said to the two strangers, "Please sit down, I am Lilu Agote, coffee, or tea?" Is there anything that can help both? ”

"Coffee, thank you! I'm Dinah, and this is my retinue Ahan, and we're here to make a deal with Gordon......" Dinah said with a smile as she took off her top hat and placed it on the small table.

"Entrust me with the sale of some secret goods? Are you pirates? Lilu reacted quickly, and Goose Egg's face frowned.

"Why, Miss Lilu doesn't dare to accept this agency agreement?" Dinah chuckled and said, "I've heard of President Argot, but it's the most bold president in Amsterdam!" ”

"Is there really such a rumor in Amsterdam? Okay, I can sign this affiliate agreement with you, but I need to know who you are and what benefits do I have besides affiliate commissions? The young girl blinked and smiled slyly.

"Hehehe, President Argoth is really shrewd! Of course, there are benefits, and that is ......" Dinah covered her mouth and smiled, but she scolded in her heart, cunning little fox, fortunately Hedram gave her some authorization before she came.

"Okay then, the deal is reached, I'm looking forward to what your first shipment will be?" Lilu's big eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, and she was very satisfied with the agency agreement that would continue to bring money to the Chamber of Commerce in the next few years.

"Then I will take my leave first, President Young Beauty, I am looking forward to our cooperation in the future!" Dinah pulled on the princess dress and gave a lady's salute.

"Me too, beautiful Viking lady!" Lilu smiled brightly.
