As Tang Jie put away the ruby, the gaze in Darius's eyes began to focus slowly, and he greedily looked at the red aria in Tang Jie's hand and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. [Ran^Text^Library] []

Although this fat businessman still maintains a certain degree of calmness and rationality in the face of heavy profits.

The so-called business is to buy and sell, pay and return.

Darius was greedy for money, but he was not stupid, and he was quite shrewd, and he knew very well that if he could get this red aria, the price he would pay would probably be too much for him to bear.

Peerless treasures can be confusing, and vast wealth is heart-pounding, but it all has to be built on a foundation to make sense.

That is, one must first live!

If a person dies, no amount of treasure will be meaningless.

Darius knew this very well, so he did a good job of hiding the burning greed and desire in his heart.

"What conditions?" Darius took a deep breath, his voice sounding as calm as possible, his eyes full of wariness.

Tang Jie smiled slightly, and did not negotiate conditions with him, but withdrew the red aria in his hand into the small cloth bag he carried, shook the palm-sized cloth bag, and made a crisp gem collision sound: "There are ten gems in it, what I just showed you, just one of them, and none of the other nine gems will be inferior to the one I just showed you!"

Darius listened to Tang Jie's words, and unconsciously opened his mouth, stunned!

A single red aria is enough to cause a storm in the gem market and among the aristocracy, and the vain dignitaries and noblewomen will scream and go crazy for this legendary red aria!

However, there are nine more gems that are similar to this red aria!

What do the other nine gemstones look like, and what kind of beauty will they be?

Even if these nine gems are only half the value of the Red Aria, they are worth enough to pay the entire Duchy of Marta for ten years in customs revenue!

If you can have such a fortune, where in the world can't you go?

What is Betty's stinky ** who hates the poor and loves the rich?

I will not only be the richest man in Sisis, I will also be the richest man in the entire Duchy of Marta, even in this Pound continent, I will become one of the few super-rich!!

In the future, there will be countless people laughing and prostrate in front of me, and there will be countless "Miss Betty" kneeling at my feet like dogs, crying for me to spoil them!!

Isn't this kind of life, such a status, what I dream of?

Darius's heart was beating wildly for a while, his mouth was dry, his eyes were staring at the cloth bag in Tang Jie's hand, he could no longer keep calm and calm, and stammered: "O god Raphael, what do you want me to do, you black-haired devil? Do you want to tempt me to hell?"

Tang Jie played with the cloth bag in his hand, looked at Darius's sweaty fat face with interest, and said leisurely: "I want to know, do you have the courage to gamble?"

Darius's eyes were fixed on the bag, and his mind seemed to be at war between heaven and man, and he reflexively asked, "What to bet on, how to bet, and with whom?"

The short three sentences fully exposed his true nature, shrewd and vigilant like a fox, timid and greedy like a mouse.

Tang Jie smiled, he was very satisfied with Darius's state, constantly increasing his chips, constantly stimulating this greedy businessman, which was also his deliberate move to make Darius unable to think calmly.

Tang Jie stretched out a finger and tapped Darius's heart: "You bet with yourself, bet on your vision and guts! If you win, the gems will be yours, and if you lose, you will be in a different place!"

Tang Jie grinned, his white teeth blooming with a strange light, as if Satan was seducing mortals and constantly walking towards the abyss of depravity.

Darius sweated more and more on his forehead, and the white handkerchief was almost soaked, he raised his head, looked away from the cloth bag with difficulty, looked at Tang Jie, and said astringently: "This gamble is too dangerous, I don't even know what I'm going to do, if I lose my life, even if I give me the treasure of the world, what's the use if I can't enjoy it?"

Tang Jie smiled and shook his fingers: "No, no, no, my request is actually very simple, you can do it!"

Darius took a deep breath: "What do you need me to do?"

Tang Jie put away the smile on his face, raised three fingers, and stared sharply at Darius: "I need three things!"

"Which three?" Darius also stared at Tang Jie, this businessman's sharp energy for wealth at this moment was on par with Tang Jie for a while!

"First, the ship!" Tang Jie bent down a finger, "The three-masted griffon-class battleship you sold me last time was destroyed in a naval battle, I need you to build me three more ships according to the configuration of this battleship, in addition, I hope that the hull can be stronger, and the breech shotgun will be replaced by a breech warp gun!"

"But......," Darius interjected.

Tang Jie interrupted his words with a crossed hand, and said in an undoubted tone: "I know, the breech cannon is the official special cannon of the Siss, I don't care what method you use, how much it costs, I must see on my ship that all my cannons are breech guns!"

Tang Jie knew this very well in his heart, if they were equipped with breech guns in the Battle of Sithis, then the sailors on his ship would not have suffered so heavy casualties.

In naval battles, the firing distance of the cannon is one point, and the odds of victory are increased by one point.

Tang Jie didn't want the people who swarmed to smell the treasure of Athos in the near future beat him to death one by one with breech guns.

At least everyone has to stand at the starting line, right?

Darius gritted his teeth, wiping the cold sweat rolling from his forehead as he thought lightning in his heart.

I remember Captain Paxson once told me that the Sisis Second Coastal Guard had purchased 200 breech-loading guns, and maybe, I can make an idea here?

No, John, who is in charge of munitions, is an old stubborn, this guy doesn't eat oil and salt, he doesn't love money, and he doesn't covet beauty, he is really a very difficult target!

Ah, by the way, John is a stinking and hard stone, but he has a pearl in his palm but is very vain, the most greedy for pleasure, the most fond of rare jewelry, maybe I can camp with his daughter?

John got it, and I'm going to get his lieutenant, and Captain Paxson, and the entire Second Coast Guard, so many people, I have to shut them all up......

For a full twenty seconds, after Tang Jie made this request, Darius was silent for a full twenty seconds.

The air was suffocating, and the maids and servants tied up in the house looked at Darius and Tang Jie in horror one by one, trembling with fear, for fear that this black-haired pirate who had been demonized in Sisis would suddenly launch a frenzy and kill them all!

Tang Jie was waiting silently, he knew that if Darius answered him for the first time, it would be perfunctory to him, but if Darius thought for a longer time, it meant that the more excited he was, the greater the chance of agreeing to him!

Sure enough, as Tang Jie expected, Darius had already thought of a way to break through the internal fortress of the Sixisi government in just a dozen seconds, and in the remaining seconds, he sorted out all the lists of officials who had to be bribed, he raised his head, and said almost through gritted teeth: "Okay, I promise you! Do you have a time limit?"

Tang Jie slapped his face and said with a smile: "Very good, we have a good start! As for the time limit, of course, the sooner the better, don't worry, I won't rush you to death! But you should pay attention to the fact that once I start urging you, it means that your death time has reached ......"

Darius was sweating profusely, and he gritted his teeth and continued: "What is the second condition!"

Tang Jie bent his second finger: "Second, I need people!"

Darius said in a deep voice: "How many people do you need? What people? men, women, old people, children, what do you need them for?"

Tang Jie glanced at Darius, he didn't care in the slightest that the fat businessman spoke to him in such an offensive tone, on the contrary, he admired Darius's meticulous attitude towards the problem.

That's the attitude of cooperation!

If Darius did not ask in such detail and ask repeatedly, but hastily and arrogantly agreed to all Tang Jie's conditions, then Tang Jie would have done one thing next: kill Darius immediately, and then look for the next target for cooperation!

The bargaining is the real buyer, Tang Jie's few things, all of them are extremely difficult, and it is a job to play with his head, who agrees like a housekeeper, either lacks a heart, or is sloppy with Tang Jie.

Although Tang Jie has completely established his reputation in this sea area, he has also attracted the attention of major forces, and the whereabouts of Athos's treasure have inevitably leaked out.

In Tang Jie's opinion, if the slightest revelation of his news in Sisis is revealed, then what awaits him will be a catastrophe!

Although Tang Jie is strong, his enemies who have not yet surfaced and lurk in the dark shadows are a hundred times stronger than him, a thousand times stronger, especially before Tang Jie builds Alcatraz Island into his ideal sea fortress, his strength will be out of an unprecedented weak vacuum.

He wants a boat in his hands without a boat, and he wants people without people.

As long as the enemy drove a fleet towards Alcatraz Island, Tang Jie would have to flee in embarrassment, no matter how powerful he was, he would not be able to fight a fleet alone.

How to get through this vacuum period is the biggest topic that tests Tang Jie.

He can't be careless!
