The most luxurious meal on the island, the Palm Hotel, four guests and one drunkard, "Mr. Bell, I'm sorry just now, my brother is like this, he likes to tease people, but he has no malice, and he did not intentionally get Mr. Cole drunk.
, King and dignitary, you have gone too far. Why did you drink wine as soon as you came up? Seeing that Mr. Cole was drunk, please apologize."
The performance continued, and Bell knew that he had fallen into the other party's trap, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "You can't blame Mr. Wang, it's my brother's drinking problem. I'll tell you the truth, there is indeed something wrong with my ship. If I can't pay a sum
With a deposit, it will be difficult for me to take you out to sea."
Liu Yuexi gently shook the wine glass, smelled it, and took a sip, "Captain Bell is overthinking it. Since we chose you, why would we be so casual? After all, in the dangerous silver sea, everyone's fate depends on you."
Come and understand, we know that you have spent a lot of money on your wedding recently, the house prices in satellite islands are not cheap, and there are several failed investments. Your financial situation is very bad. Men, start a family and start a career, and give women what they want.
Yes, this is a husband’s bounden duty, and I admire you very much, especially since you are the only captain I know who has been to the Sea of Whales and returned alive.”
"What do you want to do?" Bell blurted out alertly.
Liu Yuexi composed herself, "Go to the mainland of the Lost Continent."
Bell shook his head, "It is currently impossible. The Tempest Ocean only provides the opportunity to go there once every four years, and the furthest can only reach Ludland Island. Except for the local Zan indigenous tribes who are willing to exchange goods, scattered fleets want to go there.
It is impossible for several tribes to enter the mainland. There are quotas for entering the mainland from there. The Zan people hate a large number of outsiders, and the quotas are all in the hands of the island owners. Even if this is feasible, you still need to wait for another two years."
Yuexi smiled and said: "Two years is too long. I don't want to go anywhere. In fact, from the map, it is a long way from the Tempest Ocean, and the landing place is not good. The south of the Lost Continent is
It’s a mountain, and there are very few ethnic groups. It takes a year to walk into the true hinterland of the continent. It has no development value at all, so why not go to the north to land, that is the core land of the Lost Continent.”
Liu Yuexi's casual words shocked Bell. Who is this person? He actually knows so much about the Lost Continent. Even Bell himself doesn't know a lot of the information in it. Could it be that he has been there? "Mr. Liu really knows what he said."
Specifically, but it is still impossible. The key is the problem of the sea chart. After going to the Far North Island, the Star Clock will not be able to work. The fear of the Whale Sea is not only those huge and incredible monsters. The most deadly thing is the disorientation.
The North Needle is completely out of action and can survive for at most three days relying on inertial navigation, but it will take at least six days to cross the Whale Sea. Once it mistakenly enters the windless zone or the midnight zone in the last three days, everything will be over."
Bell's answer satisfied Yue Xi, "He is indeed someone who has been to the depths of the Whale Sea and returned safely."
Bell shook his head, "It was luck that time. We met a narwhal. We went to eight boats and only one came back. This can't be said to be a safe return."
Yuexi took out something and said, "Let's see if these things can increase the possibilities." Bell took the small book Liu Yuexi gave him and flipped through it. Bell's expression suddenly became serious and then excited, "
Where did you get this treasure? I have never seen the star map or sea map of this area."
Liu Yuexi didn't want to dwell on it anymore and just put forward her idea, "You don't have to worry about it. If Captain Bell is willing to cooperate, I have more surprises for you. A good Kuai Feng is not enough. We need at least one ship."
Team, three ships, I will provide the funds, you can be responsible for recruiting people, everything
I will share 20% of the final profit with you. You should know better than me how many good things there are in Lost Continent."
Bell was still hesitating, "The island owner will not agree, and the Zan tribe is very powerful."
"Don't worry, it's my business how to get the island owner to agree. After landing, you can just stay on the boat and wait for the money to be counted."
Bell was still hesitant, and Liu Yuexi was a little impatient. He still had many things to solve. What happened to this man who broke into the sea? Why was he so cowardly? Oh, by the way, he remembered something and took out a
Baozhu said, "Such a big thing should really be considered carefully. Just go home once in the next few days and discuss it with your family. I know that the women on the southern sea are all very charming and special."
Loyalty is a good match for a sailor, but there is a bad habit. If a man goes home without bringing money, he has to sleep on the floor. This is trivial. Don't refuse, go back and reunite with your family, and then think about it.
After thinking about it, I think you will agree."
After the banquet was over, Liu Yuexi specially sent someone to send the two of them back, and she also went back to the Purple Cherry Blossom Hotel. Datou Chen asked: "Brother Yue, what if he still disagrees?"
"I have given up my courtesy today. If he doesn't agree, I will tie up his wife to force him to agree. After seeing my picture, there is no reason to let him leave. It might as well let him see his wife. I forgot to mention it just now.
Yes, the women here are not only beautiful, but also very strong. They are very suitable for Yinhai's environment. He will agree. Okay, go to bed early, we will be busy tomorrow."
The next day, a strange customer whom he had never seen before came to the largest lumber company on the island. He looked around without asking or making inquiries. He stayed there for most of the day. This attracted the attention of the shopkeeper.
Several guys tried him in the area, "This guest, you have been watching for a long time. If you need something, we can introduce it to you. Our Walrus Wood Industry is the industry of the island owner Luoke, and our reputation is absolutely guaranteed. You need
We have all kinds of wood here."
The stranger was wearing glasses, "Are you really wearing them?"
"That's natural."
"Okay, I want sea snakewood that is more than ten years old. Thornwood is also acceptable."
When the waiter heard that he wanted this kind of wood, he immediately invited the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper respectfully asked: "May I ask what this guest wants these two kinds of wood for?"
The man wearing glasses was very impatient, "Of course it's to lay rune hidden rails. Why are you afraid that I will buy it privately? Well, this is the purchase permission quota document from Wangjing Provincial Government." After saying this, he placed a document in front of the shopkeeper.
When he saw it, oh, it's true. The big customer said respectfully: "Guest, don't be surprised. These two types of wood are officially controlled. We are also careful. We will serve tea to the guests quickly and bring samples from the store to the guests."
I looked over it, but I still don’t know what to call you.”
"My surname is Liu, where are the things?" A few guys brought two samples. Glasses Liu squatted down, carefully looked at the grade and diameter on the log, then pulled off a circle of bark, rubbed it, and then cut it skillfully.
Check the texture in the next section, "This brittle wood is not bad. It is twelve years old and well-processed. It is not roasted stupidly. It must have been dried and used animal oil to reverse the moisture. It is quite elegant.
That’s right. Don’t bring out this thornwood to make people look embarrassed, just put it away.”
The shopkeeper knew at first sight that he was an expert. The processing of sea snake wood is completely different from ordinary wood. It requires materials and labor. The animal oil will also be adjusted differently according to the customer's requirements. He is very particular about it and very few people know about it. It will heal.
Fa asked respectfully: "I wonder how many of these brittle trees the guest needs?"
Glasses Liu Yi stretched out his hand, "Five hundred?" "Five thousand?"
Glasses Liudu shook his head, "Fifty thousand sticks, but I will buy them in batches. You can't bring out so much at one time, so let's start with twenty thousand sticks. But the animal oil must be made according to our formula, so there can be no mistakes."
The shopkeeper was extremely excited, "I wonder how you plan to pay."
Glasses Liu was not polite, "If you use beads for the down payment, it will be calculated according to the prevailing price. Forty beads for a first-class six-inch diameter, and thirty-three beads for five-inch beads. As for the final payment, I was in a hurry this time, so I didn't have it."
I brought too many beads, but I want to trade goods with your company, I don’t know if that’s possible.”
The shopkeeper felt a little unhappy when he heard this. He had been fussing for a long time to exchange goods for goods, but the profit was reduced. "Yes, yes, but to be honest with customers, the business scope of our business is very wide, but if we barter,
We will first discount the price of your item by 10% unless your item is very popular."
Glasses Liu smiled and took out two things, "You give me Zhangzhangyan, I will use these things to barter, how much do you want."
Oh, good stuff, the shopkeeper's eyes widened when he saw it, "Quickly, go call the boss. This matter is a bit big. It's not easy for me to make the decision by myself. But don't worry, we don't care about this. We won't get a cent from it."
I will impress you, and I guarantee you will be satisfied with the price." The shopkeeper rubbed the two beautiful jade conch shells in his hands and couldn't put them down. There is no petrochemical industry in this world. The jade conch is light and hard, and will dissolve at a high temperature of 500 degrees.
After being re-formed, it is the most plastic material, has a wide range of uses, and is a hot commodity in the market.
The big shopkeeper came over soon after hearing the news. No one dared to neglect such a good thing. He finally finalized the deal and concluded the deal at the price of one snail and two pearls. Eyes Liu signed a contract with the other party, saying that he would follow his instructions.
The formula on the list for mixing animal oil must not be mistaken. It was also stated in the contract. The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly. Glasses Liu took out a bank cashier's check and paid the deposit of 80,000 beads, and repeatedly asked the two
Shopkeepers, please don’t get the animal oil wrong. Don’t leave with peace of mind until both shopkeepers confirm it.
In the store, the shopkeeper asked the big shopkeeper for credit, "If this big deal is done this time, you have to recommend it to me."
The big shopkeeper was also very happy, "Of course, your contribution is indispensable. Go and do it quickly. The animal oil will be prepared according to your requirements. I will allocate the supply of sea snake wood to each branch and provide you with the best."
Glasses Liu walked around for several times when he went out. Seeing that no one was following him, he stepped into the Purple Cherry Blossom Hotel and said, "Master Yue, everything is done."
"Well, did they accept the recipe for animal oil?"
"Well, it's clearly written in the contract. If there are no mistakes, I'll pay them to death."
"Uncle Liu, thank you for your hard work. My nephew would like to thank you first."
"That's right. The Liu family should contribute to its own affairs. The timber business is our Liu family's old business."
