Chapter 037: How Much Is Tom Worth
The next morning, Zhang Daya still drank milk, because Artoria won the share to Zhang Daye.
However, Zhang Da also saw Tom's sad appearance and pushed it to him again.
Tom struggled to resist the temptation and ended up taking only half of it.
I don't know if it was affected by Tom's emotions, but after the morning exercise, I won the [Diamond Tom bought when he proposed*1] and [Tom's wine when he fell out of love*111].
In order not to hurt Tom, Zhang Da didn't dare to look at it more.
This inventory is pretty strong, and I haven't seen it have an upper limit in a long time.
In the morning, I went to a few grocery stores and bars, mainly to see what others were selling, and when I came back, I re-priced the liquor on the shelves, as Gulagas suggested.
"No, little brother, the price has really risen!" Someone looked at the exaggeration of the price of wine, but in fact, he didn't think the current price was outrageous.
Zhang Da also said seriously: "Yes, if I continue to sell wine at the original price, I will almost not be able to afford to eat." β
"Haha, it's too much of an exaggeration to say that you can't afford to eat, right? Let's buy it! β
Of course, the others don't believe it, in their opinion, the people in this tavern have a total of two children and a cat, how much can they eat for dinner, and the little boss must be afraid that they will run away after the price increase.
"Then thank you all for taking care of me!" Zhang Da also responded with a smile, although their appearance of coaxing is very annoying, but the appearance of paying for it is really cute.
Tom accepted a bunch of small gifts as usual, changed into a tuxedo and played a song, which won the house.
Zhang Da is also a little suspicious that Tom's various clothes have any strange bonuses, such as deliberately changing into a denim suit when he was fighting a gangster yesterday, changing into a swordsman suit halfway through a sword competition with him, and changing a tuxedo when playing the piano, and every time he changes clothes, he can feel Tom's temperament change.
However, it is more likely that he is playful, or a little psychological suggestion, so that he is more serious when doing things.
At the end of the song, a handsome uncle in a black suit and a small round hat walked to the bar: "Brother Daya, is it?" β
Zhang Da also looked at him, if it weren't for the two slightly curly mustaches, he almost thought it was Chaplin coming: "Yes, what's coming?" β
βSTAR-WINEγβ Uncle Shuai ordered one of the most expensive wines he had here.
"Okay." Zhang Da also turned around to take the wine, poured him a glass, and asked casually, "Uncle looks so raw." β
"Haha, old Bob doesn't think I'm embarrassed." Uncle Shuai smiled and introduced himself, "It's good to call me Biznis, I'm a merchant, I travel between the islands in the first half of the Great Voyage, and I don't necessarily come to Chambord once in a few months, and it's normal for my little brother not to see me." β
"That's right." It's an old customer again, and Zhang Da is also curious, "It's dangerous to do business on the Great Route, right?" Now pirates are so rampant. β
"There is definitely a danger, but it's not as serious as you think." Taking a sip of wine, Biznis said, "Actually, compared to pirates, our greatest enemy is the sea. β
"Oh? How so? Zhang Da also followed his words and asked, facing so many guests every day, it is not good to not be able to chat, recently he is trying to adapt to his identity, and it feels wonderful to be forced to start a business without graduating from college.
Artoria also saw it, and she was also a little interested in the news, but Tom was focused on counting his gains, and his ears were not heard outside the window.
Biznis didn't mind talking to them about what he had seen: "The weather on the Great Voyage is unpredictable, and even if we find a relatively safe route, we can't guarantee good weather every time, and if we encounter a natural disaster, it will be completely finished." β
Zhang Da also nodded: "I understand this, that's why you need a powerful navigator, but if you encounter pirates, it will be over, right?" β
"No, no, no, natural disasters are completely irresistible, but we have many options in the face of pirates, such as you can escape while asking for help from the navy in the nearby seas, my merchant ship is specially ordered in the capital of the seven waters, even if it is fully loaded, it will not be much inferior to ordinary pirate ships in terms of speed."
"If we can't escape, we can choose to fight, I still have a good group of sailors and escorts, and the smaller pirates don't have to worry at all."
It seems that this is still a very powerful businessman, Zhang Da also asked: "What should I do if I encounter a powerful character?" β
Biznis spread his hands: "Of course, it's surrender, just hand over all the valuable goods, as long as it's not extremely unlucky, you can save your life." β
"But don't pirates really kill people and take ships?" Zhang Da didn't think the pirates had any professional ethics.
Biznis laughed, "This is a great route, and the captains of the pirates who can make a name for themselves here are generally not stupid. Know that for every merchant killed, they may rob one less person in the future. And those who don't have any reputation, we have the confidence to deal with. β
Ah......h With such an advanced idea of sustainable leek cutting, do the pirates really understand? Zhang Da also fell into deep thought.
"That's why I said that as long as the luck is not too bad, I won't lose my life, and even if the goods are gone, I am confident that I will make money back soon." Biznis is full of confidence, and if it weren't for the high enough profits, he wouldn't be desperate.
Zhang Da also wants to go into business, although the risk is large, but the profit is much greater than the tavern, and after opening the tavern to save some money, you can consider recruiting some reliable people to go to sea.
As for when...... When he doesn't bother even if he meets Klockdahl and Moonlight Moria? But will you still worry about money at that time?
Then again, can you save enough money to buy a boat, but you can't really let Tom rub a boat out with his bare hands, right?
"Remarkable." Zhang Da also praised him, this person can be said to be stronger than him, and it can also be said that the degree of greed for money is stronger than him, but people have the courage to fight, and they deserve to be rich.
"There are many businessmen like me, and I don't know what the little brother praises." Biznis said with a smile, "Speaking of which, I have a business to discuss with you, little brother." β
"What business?" Zhang Da also asked, don't you want to sell me wine?
"It's about the cat pianist." Biznis glanced at Tom and said, "This clever cat doesn't know if the little brother has any ideas for sale, and I can give a high price." β
As soon as he finished speaking, a tomato smashed in his face, and the red juice trickled down his face, wetting the collar of his white shirt.
Tom had already stood up and looked at Biznis with a grunt.
"Okay Tom, don't get excited, I'm not going to sell you." Zhang Da also touched Tom's head and calmed Tom, mainly because he was afraid that he would get excited and take out a firecracker and blow up the tavern into the sky.
Tom glared at Biznis and turned to leave the bar and head upstairs, ignoring even half of his snacks.
