Chapter 434: 'Perfect Prey'

After saying a long sentence in one breath, Hano poured himself a third glass of fruit wine, and this time he didn't drink it all again, but drank it in a drunken manner.

Zhang Lisheng blurted out when he saw it: "I understand, Hano, you must be the latter, all of them are so melancholy now, borrowing wine to drown their sorrows..."

"It doesn't matter if I'm that kind of person, the important thing is that since you want to recruit captains and navigators, you must understand that the two kinds of navigators I just mentioned are from different backgrounds, and you don't have to consider the first one at all, because they either have their own ships or have taken refuge in a very large joint trading house, and they will never work for a small merchant like you;

There is only the second type of navigator you can recruit, and even in this kind of navigator, if you really want to find a qualified captain or navigator, you must use some 'little tricks', otherwise you will inevitably recruit those who have been eliminated by the nautical academy, or professional scammers.

Maritime merchants are not just ships that can be used. Hano said drunkenly.

"Then what should I do now?" Zhang Lisheng asked.

"There are two ways, one is to rent a boat to someone else, and spend a few years to learn navigation yourself, or try your luck and spend a lot of money to train a few navigators;

The second is to go to the old guys who have been 'skinned' and given free bodies after completing their training contracts with their employers, who are usually at least sixty years old, who do not seem to be very useful, who are well paid and have strange temperaments, but who are really good seafarers. Hano replied.

"The first option was a joke for me, I didn't have the time or energy to learn navigation. What kind of navigator to cultivate," the confusion that had been haunting his heart for many days was finally solved, and Zhang Lisheng felt that his whole body was relaxed.

Cutting off a piece of meat and putting it into his mouth, he let out a long sigh of relief, "Hano, can you just tell me where to find the kind of 'old guy' you said?"

"Those who have changed the fate of the poor and lowly in the eyes of ordinary people, gaining fame and fortune, are actually just a group of poor insects who are in the cracks of society and have been exploited by others for almost their whole lives.

Words in the city of Venis. They can only be found by going to the 'River Duck Club', 'Voyager Club' or 'Smart Sea Chess Club'. ”

"River Duck Club, Voyager Club, Wisdom Sea Chess Club. After getting these three names, the corners of Zhang Lisheng's mouth couldn't help but show a happy smile, and then asked, "Are these private clubs, and where are the addresses?"

"A private club, of course. It is also a private club that only captains and navigators can attend.

Of course, those navigators from wealthy families will not join. They have their own circles, and they all stay at the Big Wooden Boat Club, the Navigators' Club..."Drink a whole pot of cider on an empty stomach. Hano, who was already drunk, said a little incoherently: "I have been a member of the Wisdom Sea Chess Club for twenty years, and I can take you in, but unfortunately I have been expelled now."

Because I'm a dishonorable person. Dishonorable people... You'll have to find another way, but you have three ships and you're the guests of the White Philippe family and the Downton family, so it shouldn't be difficult to find a good navigator once you've figured out the 'doorway'.

By the way, you ask me for the address, Ha Luha, in order to, in order to thank you for your delicious food and wine, I, I will tell you the addresses of the three clubs, which are all in a secret place, the River Duck Club, at No. 187 Jinfan Road..."

After he intermittently reported three addresses, Zhang Lisheng suddenly asked again: "Then where is your home, Hano, you are getting drunk, I will have someone send you home in a while." ”

"My family lives at 70 Bay Road, which is a big, comfortable apartment, but unfortunately I'm going to move soon...

I won't get drunk with this wine, but you can, you can send the steak back to my house first, tell the porter to send it to Hano's house, my son's favorite food is fried steak, he likes it the most..."

"Born into poverty, with great seafaring experience, it is the perfect 'prey' to leave a powerful employer with dissatisfaction after decades of exploitation, and after completing the contract. Zhang Lisheng looked at the down-and-out man who was sleeping soundly and muttered to himself and stood up.

Leaving two bright gold coins on the dining table, he beckoned to the glamorous waiter, "Is it okay to send this gentleman to Hano's Mansion at No. 70 Bay Road, and send three more of the fattest meat steaks and a pot of fine fruit wine?"

"Good generous handsome young man, what else is there to say from you. The waitress's eyes swept over the gold coin, and she replied seductively shaking her chest, but the young man shook his head with a smile, picked up his umbrella and walked quickly to the restaurant.

The cold wind was blowing, the cold rain was pouring down, and when he came outside, Zhang Lisheng suddenly felt that his mind had woken up, and he suddenly sighed and whispered to himself, "It seems that my head has really not turned in the past few days."

A good navigator must have a high status in such a city where maritime trade is the pillar, how can he come to such a restaurant, fortunately it's not too late...", spread out his umbrella, followed the way, and wandered away into the wind and rain.

Time passed, the years passed, three weeks passed, and the sun had just broken in the morning, and in the bustling harbor outside the city of Venis, a group of young and energetic sailors in white shirts and black trousers, led by three young men in captain's uniforms, whose faces were flushed with excitement but who wanted to pretend to be calm, boarded three brand-new ships parked in the berth.

After watching from afar as the young captains began to lead the sailors to brush the deck, a chubby tax officer in the harbor was surprised and slammed his companion and said, "Oh gods, Dolby, look, those crappy goods are starting to brush the deck."

The 'New Ship Ceremony', this is clearly a simple new ship sailing ceremony, could it be that lucky guy from another continent really wants to let these 'crappy captains' who were kicked out of the Navigation Academy manage his ship, and there is also a large merchant ship among them!"

The fat tax officer's companion was obviously much thinner than him, and his face was also smarter, and he stood on the dock and said disapprovingly: "Piston, large sea ships and medium-sized sea ships look similar in the eyes of the people of the Frost Continent, anyway, they are unimaginably huge things that can float on the sea.

What's more, what the lucky man can buy now is the nautical charts of the Catamane city-state, and the goods imported are all ordinary specialties of the city, and he doesn't even hire a navigator, so he knows at a glance that he intends to go around in circles in these city-states on the southern coast and make a few hard-earned money, and it is enough to recruit these crappy captains. ”

"That's true, but if you do this business, what future is there, it's good not to lose money, it's better to rent the boat out, isn't it?"

"The boat picked up by Bai must always be 'enjoyable' and then rented out, the reason why the Bai Feili family and the Downton family will repay the favor and stop caring about everything, I think it is that after waiting for the lucky person in the other continent to 'play' a few times, they can't hold on to the day when they close the business house, and then the two families will naturally hehe"

"Dolby, you're such a sinister villain that you could have thought of this, but it seems that this is the way it is..."

The two port tax officials predicted Zhang Lisheng's defeat with a little jealousy, and at the same time, the young man was walking into the port with the only employee of his firm.

Facing the bright rising sun, he instructed: "Luo Meng, after I leave, you will continue to open at 9 o'clock in the morning and close at 6 o'clock in the afternoon.

I have paid the rent for two years, and I have entrusted the bank to pay your salary on a monthly basis, so you can continue to work with peace of mind?"

"I know Mr. Lu Dao, don't worry, I will clean the business house every day as you did, and wipe the table shiny," replied Romon in a loud voice.

"Very well Romon , I need an employee like you. Seeing that Luo Meng looked a little stunned and had no wisdom, but was loyal, Zhang Lisheng nodded with satisfaction, strode to his three sea ships, waved his hand casually and said, "I'm going to get on the boat, you go back to the business house to polish the tables and chairs, Luo Meng, see you again." ”

"See you again, sir, you, you will be safe, you, you are the best and best person, you will be safe..." Luo Meng's voice suddenly became a little choked, nodded his head incoherently, turned around and walked outside the port according to Zhang Lisheng's instructions, and quietly turned back and walked away in a few steps.

Zhang Lisheng was as short as an ape, and suddenly swooped towards the lun, and in the air, his palm pressed against the hull of the ship, and he jumped onto the deck with a gentle help as if he had suction.

The young captain, who was pretending to paint the floor, suddenly saw that his employer was already standing in front of him, and hurriedly dropped the long-handled wooden brush and said loudly: "Sir, you are here, good morning." ”

"Good morning, Captain Feiqi, can we set sail?" Standing on the deck and looking at the vast sea, Zhang Lisheng suddenly had an impatient mood in his heart and asked loudly.

"Set sail," said the young captain, after a pause, then looked at the weather vane tied to the watchtower, and nodded in reply, "of course, everything is ready, sir, and now the wind is good, and we will set sail as long as we hang the sails on the mast." ”

"Then hang the sails. ”

"Yes. Fei Qi replied to his employer, turned and shouted loudly to the sailors: "Did the sailors hear what the boss said, hang up the sails, and we are set sail!"

"Obey the captain. The young sailors, though excited, roared unevenly and began to hoist their sails in a hurry, while the two medium-sized ships next to them saw their flagships hanging their sails and hurriedly hoisted their sails and prepared to set sail.

After a while, the three ships slowly left the harbor in turn, sailing into the vast unknown. (To be continued......)
