As a businessman living in the apocalypse, Coma's actions are always driven by profit. The more heated the fight between Diego's forces and the 'Aurora Legion', the more he can profit from it. Because of this, he sent George's fleet to
News of the departure from Havana reached the 'Aurora Legion'.
But after all, Koma is just a small businessman, and he can't decide the outcome of the battlefield. In fact, he is not the only one who passed the news to the 'Aurora Legion'. And he made a decision after repeatedly evaluating the comparison of forces between the two sides in the war -
— Bet on Diego’s power. To be precise, bet on Commander George.
Mr. George is backed by an organization as powerful as the Enclave, and he also controls the only armed speedboat fleet in the Caribbean. Although the size and tonnage of this fleet are pitifully small, he has no opponents and has completely dominated the ocean.
Yes!
Coma felt that Sir George, who controlled the ocean, would be the real king of the Caribbean. He needed to flatter and please him at the critical moment. "If I can monopolize the trade rights of ports and shipping routes, I will definitely make a fortune."
And that definitely requires a big gift.”
Since Lord George is about to have a higher status, a box of whiskey is obviously not enough. Koma needs more luxury goods and luxurious daily necessities to impress him.
"I need five cases of whiskey, fifty cases of rum, and a dozen of various changes of clothes. By the way, do you have any men's perfume?" At the foreign commercial market in Matanzas, Colmar used his hard-earned money.
Gold went out of his way to purchase various commodities that would be cut off in the last days. His generosity was staggering.
The spirits sold on the market are often brewed with local Cuban cane sugar, but high-concentration alcohol is a necessity in the end of the world, and it is also a good medicine to anesthetize the nerves. Other items often come from raids in Florida, and they are not ordinary people.
Can afford it.
In normal years, one gold bar could buy a lot of these things, but now the price has increased more than a hundred times. But the merchants who come to the market to buy are still crazy and sweep away these products that may never be available again.
And empty.
Faced with this sudden buying frenzy, the person responsible for selling the goods was very confused and couldn't help but ask Koma: "Sir, it's the end of the world now and civilization has fallen. Has the market for luxury goods sales expanded instead? Don't you?
Should I buy common daily necessities in bulk?”
The so-called ordinary daily necessities are the old clothes that Zhou Qingfeng got. Due to the coldness of the current nuclear winter, tropical residents still have a huge demand for cold-proof clothes, and these old clothes have been very popular in the past period.
You must know that Zhou Qingfeng gets a hundred tons of used clothes every time, which amounts to tens of thousands. After getting a few more used clothes, basically everyone in the 'Aurora Legion' has a set of thick clothes, and the remaining
It is ready for external sale.
Koma did not answer this question, but sneered in his heart and said: These old clothes of yours are actually worthless, and they are sold at a high price, which makes us businessmen little profit. You will be defeated by Sir George's fleet soon. These clothes
It will become a trophy for Diego's forces. As long as I have a good relationship with Mr. George, I can get these clothes for free.
Mr. Koma spent all his funds but could barely sell a few luxury goods. After all, there were other businessmen competing with him for the supply of goods. The businessmen who arrived later were in tears when they saw the empty shelves. It seemed that the businessman
None of them are very optimistic about the 'Aurora Legion'.
"Mr. Coma, can you give me some luxury goods? I can increase the price by 20% to buy them." A businessman named Paulino rushed to Coma and asked in an almost pleading voice.
Coma and Paulino are businessmen who have made a fortune from trading with the 'Aurora Legion'. Precisely because of various conflicts in the trade, the two are quite tit-for-tat.
Faced with Paulino's plea, Coma refused without hesitation. He even mocked: "Mr. Paulino, who told you to come a step later? Now you can only buy those tattered clothes. I hope you can still sell them."
Gotta get out."
Seeing Koma leave triumphantly, Paulino beat his chest and regretted it. He had just learned the news, and the result was just a little bit worse. Now all the businessmen are optimistic about George from the Enclave.
A well-known secret.
If Coma is allowed to match Sir George's power, then he can become the largest businessman in the entire Caribbean. But Paulino may really just be able to buy some used clothes and go to remote places to earn a small profit.
Paolino's frustration made Coma very happy. He immediately shipped all the luxury goods he purchased and prepared to go to Havana to wait for the victorious Commander George.
The small steamer left Matanzas and floated slowly and leisurely on the sea. After running for a long time and almost approaching Havana, I saw three crooked and shabby speedboats floating in front of me.
The sailor on the ship held up the telescope and watched for a long time before running to call Koma: "Boss, I seem to see Mr. George's ship."
"Oh..., Your Excellency George is back from Nassau?" Koma was resting, but when he heard this, he got up immediately, "Great, I can just congratulate him as soon as possible."
"Uh..." The sailor who delivered the news faltered for a long time, and he couldn't figure out whether the tragic situation of the three broken ships warranted congratulations.
Mr. Koma had already rushed to the deck, and he vaguely saw three slow boats on the water antenna, which were slower than small steamers. He was slightly surprised and thought to himself: Is this George's armed speedboat?
In Coma's mind, the George fleet should be riding the wind and waves on the sea, unstoppable. But now this speed is obviously more than a snail... something is not right!
"Isn't it said that eight ships set out? Why are there only three ships?" Koma took the telescope handed to him by his subordinates, put it in front of his eyes and exclaimed: "Oh my God, how could it be so miserable?"
After watching it several times, Coma finally determined that the broken ships floating on the sea were the George fleet that once roamed the waters of Cuba. But now they had obviously been beaten up.
Where is this victory? It is clearly a disastrous defeat!
When the distance got closer, Koma even saw people on three broken boats using flashlights to make light signals and sending out 'sos' signals to ask for help. A sailor asked: "Boss Koma, are we going to rescue them? They
It seems that my ship may sink at any time, so this is a good opportunity to get closer to Mr. George."
"Getting close to each other!" Koma suddenly cursed angrily, shouting: "Turn around, turn around, return to Matanzas immediately. Damn George, what a waste of my expectations for him. He is so incompetent,
