Chapter 67: The Boat with a Criminal Record
For Gold Tooth, even if money is not as important as life, the gap will not be too big. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
So, no matter how Luca and Ollie threatened, he never let up on the price. Of course, he didn't think that these two would really slaughter him, after all, he was a good channel for selling stolen goods.
"Alas, there's no way, let's sell it somewhere else. Lukka shook his head and reached out for Goldtooth to disembark.
"No kidding, where else can you sell it?"
"There's no way out of the Alliance, I'll try my luck in the Empire. Lukka said as he tried to pull the gold tooth off the chair, but of course he didn't.
"Empire, don't be funny, you still have a way to the empire?"
"I don't, but I'm a navigator with relatives over there. Lukka winked at Crete behind the Golden Fang.
"Hmm...... I...... My cousin, who was Earl Caflin's butler, said he could get us a license to do business in the Empire. "Cretan lies without blushing at all.
Lukka continued: "Look, we're coming to you, first, because you're an old friend, and we want you to make some money together, and second, Twilight is closer to us, and you don't know how lazy I am." But since you are asking for such a price, it is not because we are old friends, then because we have never been here. Ollie—"
Ollie reached out and picked up the gold tooth from the chair and threw it out the door.
"Blah, blah, blah!" Golden Fang gripped the table with both hands, and the duck that was about to reach his mouth was about to fly, even if Lukka was bluffing, he didn't want to risk losing the profits completely.
"Why? Want to have a cup of tea before leaving?" Lukka told Ollie to let go.
"No, that, you see, although I can only give 10,000 in cash, this really can't be added, otherwise I can't make accounts, and you can't stare at me! Golden Fang said, still not daring to let go of the desk in front of him.
"Earn more?" Luca came to his senses.
Golden Tooth nodded: "Look, if you take cash for these goods, won't they be gone?" You can use them to invest in merchant ships, so that you can take a cut of the profits made by merchant ships every time, and you don't have to work hard yourself, isn't this a good way to make money with money?"
Lukka frowned and thought for a moment, "Why does this sound familiar?"
", that's how you fooled me last time!" Ollie had learned the word "flicker" as well.
Hearing Ollie say this, Goldtooth immediately laughed: "You also understand this truth, so it will be even better!"
Lukka smiled too, and he sat back in his chair: "Tell me, did you have a merchant ship smashed in your hands?"
"How can you say 'smashed in your hands'? Isn't it the luck of the ship that is just waiting for you to invest? The ship is parked in the dock next to it, and I'll take you to see it?" said the golden tooth, rubbing his hands.
Lukka lowered his head and thought for a while and said, "No, you wait here, tell me which one it is, and I'll go see it myself." ”
Golden Fang also understood that Lukka was afraid that he would do something on the ship. He wouldn't be angry with this, anyway, the people he knew over the years were basically so guarded against him. He was very confident in the ship, so he readily told Luca where it was moored.
Lukka went out with Crete and returned in less than an hour.
The ship is a good ship, it has just been completely renovated, and even the name of the ship has not yet been named. The three-masted merchant ship had a sleek hull and a large enough cabin capacity, apparently finding the perfect balance between cargo capacity and speed. Even Crete's eyesight could not find anything wrong.
"Make a bid!" Lukka said to the uneasy Golden Fang.
"How can this ship be sold for 20,000 yuan on the market, right?
"The price is fine, but you can't make a move, this ship must have a criminal record, right?" Lukka didn't believe that Golden Fang was so honest.
"Even if there is a criminal record, isn't it all refurbished? The navy can't just tow a merchant ship ashore and turn it over to see the bottom of the ship, right?"
The so-called "case record" is an imprint on the keel at the bottom of the ship, which can basically be regarded as the ship's ID card. This ship was probably captured by the Union Navy, and it should have been documented, as a merchant ship, it was often inspected in various ports, and once it was discovered, it would be lost.
However, it may be difficult for others to change the pattern on the keel, but to hand it over to Daniel is to raise the scepter. Besides, it really doesn't work, and Luca's disguise is there.
"Add another ten thousand to this ship, and the cargo will be yours!" Lukka said his price.
"You're darker than me......" Golden Fang felt a pain in his liver when he heard the number, "Otherwise, in addition to this ship, I'll get you another alliance business license, silver coins or something, how sad it is to say it?"
"Don't talk to me about feelings, it hurts a lot of money to say it. This ship, the business license, and five thousand silver coins! Ollie, throw him out!"
"Don't be in such a hurry, Ollie, let me go first, I agree! Agree? That's it, for the sake of old friends, I'll give you a free copy of the 'Beginner's Guide to Trading', which I wrote, and put two silver coins on the market! Eh, Ollie, let go first, didn't you see Luca nodding? Then I'll move things with money and ID tomorrow morning-"
The voice of the golden tooth grew farther and farther away, and after a while, Ollie completed the task of "carrying the golden fat man" and returned to the captain's room.
Early the next morning, Jin Ya really came to hand over the money and certificates.
Crete looked closely, nodded and said, "It's true." ”
Lukka claimed the merchant ship, collected five thousand silver coins, plus a trading license, and two sheets of paper for a "primer on trade", and sent the Peregrine Falcon on a dozen or so trips before moving all the cargo off the Silent Death and transporting it to the Golden Fang's warehouse.
After the handover was completed, and the gold tooth was sent away, Lukka flipped through the two "trade primers", and the more he looked at it, the bigger his head became.
Ollie leaned over and looked at it: "I don't understand it at all! What financial flexibility, net cash flow, profit margin, what does this mean?"
"Anyway, let's just go to the exchange. Golden Tooth said that the price of brown sugar here has been relatively low in the past few months, and it should be very profitable to ship it to the few non-sugar-producing islands in the west, so let's just go and see the price of brown sugar?" Lukka tucked the two pieces of paper into the drawer.
The five of them added camouflage again, and according to the posture of visiting the mall, they spent a whole day in the exchange.
Returning to the Peregrine Falcon, after dinner, Lukka took out a small bookkeeping book: "I calculated the purchase cost, according to the cargo capacity of that ship, if you buy all the brown sugar, the cost is 3684 silver coins." ”
"That's not right!" Ollie pulled out a small notebook, "I'm counting 4,012 silver coins." ”
