Chapter 78 Disputes
Under the guidance of the barge, the Baisha Princess gradually docked in port.
Raymond beckoned to the dock laborers and sailors and began to carry the cargo in the cabin.
Although two of the three ships on this ocean-going voyage were lost, the ocean-going trade is a high-risk and high-yield.
What's more, he took the longest distance and the highest risk coefficient of the east-west continent direct route.
Because of the long distance, the profit margin of transporting goods has reached an extremely terrifying level.
Even if only the cargo of this one ship remains, it can completely compensate for the losses of the other two ships, and even make a big profit.
But in addition to bringing back this cargo, he also brought back something more important.
Three specialties, the stormy sea, and the archipelago that is like a crescent moon.
These are the things that are more valuable than the goods!
Transporting the goods to the warehouse for proper protection, Raymond couldn't wait to sell them, so he hurried back to the Hanseatic Chamber headquarters in the city.
Use the power of the members to convene the emergency to summon the remaining members of the Chamber of Commerce.
A day later.
All the members of the Chamber of Commerce who were able to make it back in time gathered in the conference room of the headquarters of the Hanseatic Chamber of Commerce.
"Fat Lei, what is it that called us all in such a hurry? I still have a business with thousands of gold coins to do! ”
"That's right, the right to convene this state of emergency, each member only has one chance a year, and it can't be used at non-critical moments, but I left all my business and ran back."
"Is it because of these things?"
The other members quickly noticed that there were three things on the table in the conference room.
A few pieces of wood with a very beautiful texture, a pile of green coffee beans, and a few golden sea bass.
With the businessman's keen business sense, they quickly perceive these things, which have extremely high commercial value.
Looking at the members who questioned one after another.
Raymond's face was calm, and he pressed his hands to calm them down.
There was no rush to answer their questions, but to point to these specialties.
"Jungle purple blood wood, with extremely beautiful textures and tough texture, is made into furniture or jewelry, and the nobles do not have to pay for it."
"Golden sea bass, good taste, excellent appearance, as long as it is properly publicized, it can make many nobles buy it out of their pockets."
"Specialty coffee beans, after ripening, have a strong mana recovery effect, and long-term consumption can also increase the upper limit of mana."
As the members listened to his description, their eyes turned red.
If they can get a supply of these things, won't they make a lot of money?
These coffee beans, in particular, will definitely attract the enthusiasm of the casters!
Seeing them like this, Raymond smiled in his heart.
The Hanseatic Chamber of Commerce is just a loose business organization.
When there are no foreign enemies who share the same hatred, there is some competition between the members on weekdays.
Now there is a wave of limelight in front of so many members, which makes him feel a little dark in his heart.
"Where did you get these things? Could it be a specialty of the Eastern Continent? ”
"I guess that's it, I heard that you ran a direct route across the East and West Continents, and I've never seen these things here in the West Continent."
In the middle of a few words, each member nodded in agreement.
The eastern and western continents are separated by the entire middle ocean.
As long as one trip of goods can be transported, the profit earned is enough to cover the profit of ten ordinary routes.
But this route is helpless, not only to face extremely bad sea conditions, but also to encounter pirates, deep-sea beasts and other dangers.
The crash rate is simply too high.
With the exception of a handful of businessmen who want to bring the dead back to life, not many people are willing to take the risk.
But things make money, and they don't understand why they are brought together.
"Could it be that you summoned us just to show off to us?"
"I see, you want to pull us in and take this route together? Although you make a lot of money, the risk is too high, and the three ships you went out on are back! ”
"That's right, if you're unlucky, you won't even be able to come back with a boat, and you'll have to pay a lot of compensation!"
Raymond said lightly: "What if I say that I don't need to go to the Eastern Continent, I can buy such a supply in ten days?" ”
"yes, yes... Wait, you say a ten-day voyage? ”
The members were shocked again.
Raymond said unhurriedly.
"On my way back from the Eastern Continent, I was targeted by the Black Skull Pirates."
"But you may not have expected that when two of the three ships sank and nine died, I resolutely let the White Sands Princess sail into the stormy sea for refuge."
"Stormy Sea!?"
This time, the members were really dumbfounded, with some disbelief in their eyes.
Who doesn't know the notoriety of the stormy sea on the middle ocean route, who doesn't know it?
I don't know how many adventurers entered, and once the explorers left, there was no news.
For them, the sea merchants, it is even more taboo
And Raymond said that he entered the stormy sea, and since he is now safely returned, doesn't that mean...
Seeing their expressions, the corners of Raymond's mouth curled up and said, "I successfully came out of the stormy sea." ”
"And you would never have imagined that there were no storms at all in the Stormy Sea, and there was even a beautiful archipelago rich in abundance! These things were given by the lord of the archipelago. ”
"That's exactly what I'm calling you today."
"Through my communication, the lord of the archipelago has promised to trade with our Hanseatic Chamber of Commerce and build a stable shipping route."
The members recovered from the shock and began to ponder the pros and cons.
But come to think of it, it's all earned.
"In that case, I agree."
"I agree!"
But suddenly, a discordant voice was heard.
"What is the strength of that lord? How many guards are there? ”
Raymond frowned, and turned his head to see that it was a member named Ghassani who usually didn't deal with him very well.
He thought for a moment, shook his head and said.
"I don't know the specifics, but I've only seen two classes, one is a second-order 3-star, and the other is a second-order 5-star, the number is probably less than a hundred, and I don't know the others."
"But to be able to capture a black skull pirate ship, and make all the pirates on board submit, is certainly not weak."
But Ghassani didn't think so, and said to the other members: "I have other ideas, not to mention the price at which these things can be sold, a single trip to such goods is at most only tens of thousands of gold coins of profit, and the speed of making money is still too slow." ”
"But if we can occupy that archipelago, then we will control the production of these things, and the purchase price will be almost zero, and then the profit margin will be great."
"As long as we send out the most elite caravan guards and secretly raid, it shouldn't be difficult to kill that lord." A sinister look flashed in Ghassani's eyes.
