Then, Reed said sincerely: "I invited a few people on the boat this time, I wanted to ask you what you have lost, so as to see if there is anything I can help with." ”

"But I didn't expect that it was me who was really helped. If there's anything I can say I'm grateful for, please feel free to bring it up. ”

I believe that after seeing Reed's net worth, no matter how stupid people are, they will understand what these words mean. If it were to be expressed in the most intuitive way of money, he would definitely give an astonishing figure without hesitation.

However, to Reed's surprise, Raymond was quite calm when he heard this, and he was not ecstatic as if he had fallen from heaven. He scratched his head and said, "To be honest, in fact, we also hit by mistake this time, and in the end, we were rescued with your help." Speaking of which, no one actually owes anyone anything, but..."

Speaking of this, Raymond's eyes narrowed slightly: "For your kindness, it would be too hypocritical to say that you want nothing at all." It's just that I don't lack money or anything like that, I want something a little further afield. ”

"What do you mean?" Reed was slightly stunned.

Raymond spread his hands: "To tell you the truth, we ventured to the Veronica continent this time, just to find an opportunity there to see if we can make the business bigger." It was a pure accident to meet you, but it was a great opportunity that I don't want to waste. ”

"So, I hope to have a business connection with you. Because, in the long run, it's a lot more cost-effective than just money and things like that. ”

Raymond deliberately said this in such a "candid" tone, firstly, to imply Reed's identity as a businessman in order to conceal his origins, and secondly, he really wanted to establish a further connection with Reed.

You must know that they went to the Veronica continent this time, helpless and uncertain in their future, if they can get in touch with a powerful businessman like Reed, or even bring in foreign aid, it will definitely be a powerful help.

Raymond is a person who either doesn't do it, or if he does it, he will do it thoroughly, so how can he see a great opportunity slipping away in vain?

Sure enough, Raymond's words made Reed stunned for a moment, and then he laughed clearly. Raymond's words seem to be a philistine, and he looks like he can't take advantage of it, but Reed has been in business for more than 20 years, has read countless people, and has his own set of moral standards.

For him, Raymond was understandably thinking so. You must know that doing business depends on the doorway, if Raymond looks like a saint and helps people without asking for anything in return, then it is really abnormal.

So, instead of being surprised, Reed laughed: "Of course, of course, I'm very happy to do business with Your Excellency. Hmm..."

After thinking for a moment, Reed turned his head and said, "Emir, bring that." ”

Hearing Reed's command, the young man named Emir nodded knowingly, turned around and took a scroll of drawings from the bookshelf and spread it on the table.

It was a detailed nautical chart between the continents of Mordina and Veronica, showing the routes and the islands in the sea.

Reed said proudly, "This is a detailed chart that I paid a great deal of money to draw up, and it is now one of the best-selling items in my chamber of commerce." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to a prismatic island on the chart and said, "This island is a transit base I established between the two continents, and now it is the most lively trade distribution center in that sea. If you need anything, or if you want to get started, just come here to me. ”

"Ah, it turns out that the rumored Manas Island really exists. At this time, Dreya couldn't wait to exclaim: "I have heard many sailors rumor that there is a black market island between the two continents that is not inferior to Freetown, which was originally established by you. ”

Reed smiled, rolled up the drawings and handed them to Raymond: "This chart, even if it is a little bit of my care, I hope we can have more opportunities to cooperate in the future." ”

didn't say much about Raymond's background, but with the most sincere attitude, he immediately regarded him as a business partner. I have to say that Reed's mind and demeanor are really heartbreaking.

Raymond took the drawing, and at the same time shook Reed's hand: "Then you're welcome." But what's the point of waiting, now I have a business I want to do with you. ”

His words couldn't help but make Reed stunned again, and he laughed out loud: "Hahaha, interesting, it seems that you must be able to become a good businessman." What is it?"

Raymond said: "Some magic crystals and jewels, I hope to exchange them all for the common currency of the Veronica continent." ”

Needless to say, those were the things that Freddie had scavenged from Lord Saoirse. These things are easy to carry and not easy to use, and exchanging them for cash is the safest way.

"No problem, I can buy it all at market price right away. Reed said without hesitation, that is, regardless of the quality of the goods or the origin, showing the heroic nature of a big businessman.

At this point, it was almost over, and after a few more conversations, Raymond patted Bath on the head of the arrogant Bath, pulled her up to say goodbye, and Reed politely sent the three of them to the door.

At this moment, Reed's gaze fell on the long sword at Raymond's waist, and he was taken aback.

"That's..."

However, the surprise flashed across his face, and no one noticed it. His eyes sank slightly, Reed thought for a moment, and said suddenly, "Please wait a minute." ”

Raymond turned around in response, and Reed asked, "I don't know if you have any specific plans to go to the Veronica continent this time?"

I don't know why he suddenly asked, Raymond said nonchalantly: "I've never been there, but I heard that it's not very peaceful there, and of course there are many opportunities." So when the time comes, the only way to do it is to walk. ”

"Huh. Reid laughed, "Veronica is indeed a place of great opportunity and risk, but it is difficult for a caravan to develop if it does not have its own stronghold, but is purely a traveling merchant. Have you found a town that you can use as a caravan base?"

How could Raymond, an impostor, know this, and he can only make a mistake when he hears the words: "This... Not yet. ”

Not surprised, Reed motioned for Raymond to wait, then took out a letter from his bosom, picked up a pen and quickly wrote a few lines at the end of the letter, then stamped it, and resealed the letter.

Handing the letter to Raymond, he said, "Well, I suggest you go to this place and try it." ”

Raymond took the letter without knowing it. "It's a small town called Headington that is struggling right now because it's struggling," Reid explains. Not long ago, its mayor sent me this letter, hoping that I could open a trading point there. ”

"If you're on Veronica and you don't have anywhere else to go, you might as well try your luck here. Although the town is not large, it has good land and sea transportation, and the potential is quite good, and it is a place worthy of being used as a stronghold, and my situation has been briefly explained at the end of my letter. ”

Unexpectedly, Reed suddenly gave himself such a big gift, Raymond was pleasantly surprised, but also couldn't help but be a little puzzled: "But, since they are asking you for help, why are you..."

Reid waved his hand: "For some reason, it is not convenient for me to respond to this request at this time. However, this town is in a difficult situation, and it really needs help, and it just so happens that you also need a place to stay, so I did this favor. ”

"If you can rely on that town and open up a bigger trade route, not only will you do me a favor, but you will also indirectly save the people of the whole town, which is good for us. When you get there, just take out this letter and say my name, and they will accept you. ”

Hearing him say this, Raymond was relieved: "In that case, then I thank you again for your generosity." ”

"Where the words. Reed accompanied Raymond to the door, and at the same time said, "However, don't be busy thanking me first, to be honest, my introduction is not a good deal." ”

"The situation on the continent of Veronica is complicated, and sometimes doing business is not just about doing business, and if you go to Headington, I'm afraid you will also take a lot of risks. So if you encounter any difficulties, just come to Manas Island to find me, I can help, I will definitely help. ”

Raymond's honesty made Raymond feel good, and he smiled, "Please don't worry, I happen to be good at some things outside of business." ”

Reed was stunned for a moment, and patted him on the shoulder with appreciation: "Haha, I'm really looking forward to working with you in the future." ”

Subsequently, Raymond sent someone to send the precious stones, and Reed was unequivocal and immediately bought all of them at the market price, so Raymond immediately had a sum of up to more than 100,000 yuan in his hand.

Afterwards, the two sides took their leave, and the fleet split up and headed for their respective destinations.
