Chapter 419 Misunderstanding
"Head, there is a ship requesting to dock at our dock." After Bafo finished inspecting the dock and was about to leave, a subordinate who was responsible for docking ships at the dock hurried over and reported while wiping his sweat.
Buffer couldn't help but frowned when he heard his subordinates calling him "sir". He preferred his subordinates to call him "sir". Unfortunately, his subordinates were all rough men who hung out on the dock. They might still call him "sir" according to the rules in the first two days, but
After a while, it will be changed to the name they are used to.
"Let him dock if there is space for the ship. You still have to ask me about this." Baffo said with a slight displeasure.
The subordinate keenly felt the emotions of his immediate boss, shrank his neck, and said cautiously: "It's just that he is not a fishing boat."
"Not a fishing boat?" Baffo had a puzzled look on his face.
Since the Municipal Council regulated the rules for docking ships in the dock area, various types of boats can no longer dock randomly. Fishing boats can dock at the fishing dock, cargo ships can dock at the cargo dock, and cruise ships can only dock at the
Passenger terminals, etc., although everyone was not used to it at first, but as time went by, everyone saw the efficiency and convenience of management of the entire terminal after the standardized ship docked, and gradually became accustomed to this kind of ship.
docked mode.
"Let him go to the cruise ship terminal." Buffer said impatiently.
The subordinate quickly added: "That's Old Seagull's boat."
"Old Seagull?" Baffo couldn't help but hesitate for a moment when he heard this unfamiliar name, but soon he thought of the person related to this name, and couldn't help but confirm: "Is it the Old Seagull from Bocadi?"
The subordinate nodded quickly.
For everyone who lives by the sea, the old seagull of Bocadie is a living legend. For the people of Port Sète, the old seagull represents another meaning. He can be said to be the whole of Port Sète.
benefactor.
More than ten years ago, Old Seagull discovered a submarine volcano erupting in a sea area off the coast of Port Sète. According to his experience, this submarine volcano was very large, and the eruption was powerful enough to cause an earthquake and cause a tsunami, so he immediately drove
The ship rushed to the nearest Port of Sète and notified the people in Sète Port to seek refuge at higher ground.
At first, the people in Port Sète did not believe Old Seagull’s warning, but after Old Seagull guaranteed it with his life, and there were important figures in the Municipal Council who were friends of Old Seagull, they were willing to stand up and vouch for this matter, so the City Hall came down.
Determined to mobilize the citizens, they hid in the mountains outside the city.
In the end, the earthquake and tsunami came as expected. Except for those who did not believe that there would be a tsunami and some who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity and chose to stay in the city, the other people hiding in high places were more than 20 meters away.
Survived the tsunami attack.
For this reason, Old Seagull has an extraordinary reputation and status in Port Sète. Even though more than ten years have passed, his reputation has not weakened. After all, the survivors of the disaster are still alive, and all of them are still alive.
Has become a major figure in various industries in Sète.
Thinking of this, Buffer suddenly had an idea. Since Jason has the lady with the lantern to help him, he can also find a powerful person to act as his backer. Old Seagull is the best choice, regardless of status or reputation.
The old seagull far outstrips the lady with the lantern in the harbor of Sète.
However, what made him feel embarrassed was that he had nothing to do with Old Seagull. If he rashly requested, he would only be in vain.
"I don't need Old Seagull to take the initiative to help me. I just need to make people think that I have a close relationship with Old Seagull." Buffer suddenly thought of a good idea, so he immediately ordered his subordinates: "You can dock Old Seagull's ship immediately.
At Dock No. 5, Old Seagull will satisfy all his requirements."
After saying that, he immediately boarded the carriage and asked the coachman to take him to the nearest photo studio. The way he thought of was to find an opportunity to get close to the old seagull, and then use the latest camera to take a photo of the two of them, so that everyone who saw it could see it.
People feel that the two of them have a very close relationship.
Anyway, under normal management, Old Seagull will only replenish the house at the port for a while, and then leave the Port of Set. I don’t know when he will come back next time. By then, he will have become the supervisor of the large freight terminal. Even if things are
If exposed, he will not be removed from his position.
On the other side, Old Seagull had no idea that he would be used by someone. He was commanding his controller ship, following the guide ship into the dock of the port, and looking at Leo from time to time.
Leo said to the old seagull: "If you find out the news over there, send someone directly to the address I told you. If I am in Port Set, I should live there for a long time."
"Well, after I finish supplying here, I will go to Moissan Continent for a trip." Old Seagull nodded and responded.
Just now, Leo mentioned Old Rembrandt to Old Seagull and asked Old Seagull to find an opportunity to inquire about the news about Old Rembrandt. Old Seagull happened to have a similar idea, so he agreed immediately.
The addresses Leo left for Old Seagull were the properties he bought in exchange for the Poseidon Scepter.
As the ship slowly docked, Leo jumped directly from the ship to the pier without waiting for the deck walkway to be lowered. The feeling of being down to earth made him feel more relaxed, and then he waved to the old seagull on the deck.
, I walked towards the urban area of Port Sète. When I reached the entrance and exit of the fishing dock area, I happened to pass by the carriage carrying Baver and the photographer.
That year, Leo used the Poseidon Scepter in exchange for four properties, a knighthood and some cash. Among them, the villa and knighthood in the Garden District were given to Dr. Nelson, while the warehouse in the dock area was given to Jay.
Sen.
He only left behind an apartment in the municipal district and an office building in the commercial district. According to the information he obtained, both properties are now managed by Nelson and are still in his name.
However, he did not immediately go to his property in the city. After all, the people Nelson arranged to manage the property would definitely not let him, a stranger who claimed to be the owner of the property, move in before knowing his identity.
After he left the fishing dock, he went directly to the warehouse he gave to Jason, because during his conversation with Old Seagull, he learned that Jason was not good at running the warehouse after taking over it. Although it was not a loss, it was not a loss either.
What a profit. So he rented out the warehouse, and the person who rented the warehouse did not use the warehouse to store goods as usual, but transformed it into a warehouse specifically for sailors, porters and fishermen at the bottom of the dock area.
Tavern.
Now the proprietress of this tavern has become Mrs. Jason. Jason has also taken advantage of the convenience of this tavern to win over a large number of porters on the dock, forming the porters' union, and becoming a figure with moderate power.
.
Because it was early in the morning, when Leo came to the tavern, it was very deserted. Except for a few drunkards who had been drinking all night and were lying on the chairs, there were no other guests in the tavern.
There are only a few guys cleaning.
After seeing Leo come in, one of the waiters put down his tools, wiped his hands, walked up to Leo, and asked: "Sorry, sir, the pub is not open yet. If you want to drink, you can
Later..."
"I'm looking for your boss Jason." Leo interrupted the waiter and said.
"Ah? Looking for the boss." When the waiter heard Leo's words, he immediately became vigilant, and deliberately raised his voice to attract the attention of others, and then said with a cold face: "What do you have to do with our boss?
"
Seeing the unusual attitude of the waiter, Leo quickly thought that Jason might have encountered some trouble. Otherwise, the attitude of the waiter in the tavern would not have changed so much.
Leo did not immediately reveal his identity, but said to the waiter ambiguously: "Can the waiter make the decision for the boss now? Or is it the rule of Port of Set that visitors need to obtain the consent of the waiter before they can come?"
Meet the boss?"
"Of course other people don't need it, but you gangster bastards do." It was obvious that Leo's deliberate attitude caused the waiter to misunderstand, causing him to raise his voice a little more, and everyone around him heard the word gangster.
Finally, their expressions changed instantly, and each of them had a fierce look on their face. They each took two wine bottles that had not been cleaned up, and they seemed ready to have a close contact between the wine bottles and Leo's head at any time.
Leo didn't pay attention to the attitudes of the waiters around him. He was interested in the gangsters mentioned by the waiters. Logically speaking, Jason is now the president of the Porters Union, and there is no shortage of manpower under him. Moreover, he is in the Municipal Council of Port Sète
With Nelson's help and Katherine Nightingale's reputation, ordinary gangsters would have no time to hide from him, so how could any gangster find trouble with him?
"What are you doing? Why are you all holding wine bottles?" At this time, a woman's voice sounded in the tavern, and everyone looked towards the source of the sound.
I saw a tall, plump and sexy woman leading two men standing at the door of the tavern. It was obvious that anyone who opened their eyes would not miss the tense atmosphere in the tavern.
"Sister, this guy is looking for the boss." A waiter close to the beautiful woman immediately explained.
The beautiful woman frowned and looked at Leo up and down, with a little doubt in her eyes. Then she looked around Leo and looked at the other waiters and said, "Go to work. It's not your turn to interfere in this matter."
After hearing the boss lady's order, the waiter in the hotel was a little reluctant, but he still obeyed the order and put down the bottle in his hand, and returned to what he was doing before. He just glanced at Leo from time to time, ready to take action.
The beautiful woman walked to the bar and signaled to the bartender inside the bar. The bartender immediately poured her a glass of wine. She did not drink it, but slid her finger on the rim of the cup, making a little noise, and then said to Leo.
He said: "I don't care what your leader thinks. You go back and tell your leader that my husband will not withdraw from the candidate list for the manager of the freight terminal. If you want to do what your gang does, we, as a couple, are not afraid."
, when the commotion really gets big, I don’t believe that your leader’s hotel can still be opened in Port Sète.”
Hearing what the beautiful woman said, Leo already understood the situation. He smiled and said without further ambiguity, "I am not a gang member as you think."
"Are you not a gang member?" The beautiful woman was stunned, then turned to look at the waiters, as if she was asking the waiters why.
The waiters were also stunned and looked at the waiter who had talked to Leo before. The waiter looked even more confused, but he soon realized that Leo had never said anything about him.
As a gang member, he only mentioned that he wanted to see his boss, and everything else was just his self-righteous guess. His expression suddenly changed and he became embarrassed.
Seeing the expression of her waiter, the beautiful woman didn't know that she had made a big joke, so she couldn't help but glare at the waiter, and then acted as if nothing happened just now
As it happened, he smiled at Leo and said, "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
"I'm looking for your husband Jason." Leo replied calmly.
Just like the waiter just now, the beautiful woman also showed a slight vigilance and asked: "What do you want to see him for?"
"My name is Leo Dodd, and I am your husband's comrade-in-arms and friend." Leo announced his name and said.
Hearing Leo's self-introduction, the beautiful woman was stunned, quickly stood up from the chair, walked to Leo, looked at Leo carefully, and confirmed: "Are you Mr. Leo Dodd?"
Leo reported a string of numbers, which were the number of his unit and his soldier's number. Unless someone could obtain military documents, it was impossible for anyone else to be able to tell this string of numbers.
As Jason's wife, the beautiful woman had naturally heard her husband mention his time in the army more than once. She was also familiar with Leo's soldier number and unit number. She quickly confirmed that the number was correct, and more importantly, Lei
Ou's appearance and body shape were exactly what Jason said. She had felt this way when she met Leo before, and now she was even more sure that her feeling was right.
After confirming Leo's identity, the beautiful woman's attitude immediately changed and she became much closer. She took the initiative to reach out to Leo and introduced herself: "Hello, I am Lisa Fran, Jason's wife.
gram."
Leo shook Lisa's hand, and then asked directly: "What's going on with the gang you mentioned just now?"
"This is not the place to talk, go to my office!" Lisa looked at the other drunk guests around her, and then ordered the waiters on the side to find Jason, while she took the
Leo went to the office on the upper floor of the tavern.
Although Lisa already believed that the person in front of her was Leo Dodd, she still retained a trace of vigilance before getting confirmation from her husband, so when she went to the office, she also asked her subordinates to be in the office.
Waiting instead of being alone with Leo in the office.
