Call of the Pirates

Chapter 94 The businessman's sense of smell

At night, an ordinary tavern called Kara near the port became the temporary residence of Bai Yang and his party.

The female soldiers reported the information they collected, and the content was similar to what Bai Yang had seen.

There are only four docks left in working condition, of which No. [-] and No. [-] docks are close in strength, and No. [-] and No. [-] docks are close to the verge of bankruptcy.

In this case, there are too many difficulties in building a warship-level ship, mainly because there is not enough wood and steel, and there is no safe transportation channel.

"Tsk tsk, the customer also needs to be a guard."

Bai Yang couldn't help complaining, after much deliberation, there was only one way to escort the merchant ship.

In addition, the risk of other methods is too high, or the cycle is too long to be delayed, and the shipyard may close down when the ship is half built.

Early the next morning, Bai Yang found President Matthew and explained the specific purpose of his visit.

"Can you provide guards?"

Matthew was a little surprised, it was really unheard of for clients to provide guards.

"That's right." Bai Yang nodded: "My guard lineup is very strong, even if we deal with a supernova with a bounty of over [-] million, it will not be a problem for us!"

Seeing Matthew's suspicious expression, Bai Yang casually punched the ground, and the masonry within a radius of 20 meters cracked layer by layer!
Such a powerful performance immediately made Matthew shut up, and he even began to wonder if the guy in front of him was human.

"Don't be too happy, I still have a few conditions!"

Bai Yang snorted softly, stretched out three fingers, and said in a deep voice: "First, my ship must be completed within three months. If you don't have enough manpower, you can contact other shipyards to build the ship together!"

Matthew was full of embarrassment. It usually takes a year to build a warship-class ship, and three months is too fast, unless the craftsmen of the entire capital of seven waters are gathered.

"Second, I need the best craftsmen, and the ship design must meet my needs!"

Matthew raised his head immediately, and said proudly: "Every craftsman in our Water City is top-notch. If we can't complete the requirements, then no other place in the world can complete them!"

"I believe in that."

Bai Yang nodded. He walked around the dock yesterday, and every craftsman was excellent. The craftsmanship of polishing the hull was ten times better than that of the Goblin.

"There is one last point. I hope to pay in installments. At present, I can only pay one-tenth of the deposit, which is 3000 million Baileys. But before the ship is built, I will definitely be able to pay off the remaining amount."

The price inquired yesterday was at least [-] million Baileys. This is still an ordinary ship type, excluding special crafts.

Seeing Matthew's troubled expression, Bai Yang smiled: "As compensation, Seven Waters Capital can form a large caravan during this period, and we will escort them all the way!"

"Large caravan!"

Matthew swallowed hard. If he can form a large caravan and successfully purchase goods, it will be a life-saving straw for the capital of seven waters, but the risk is also huge!

The scale of the caravan is large, and it will definitely leak out, eventually attracting a large number of wolves. This is not something that a few guards can protect!

"No! I can't take such a big risk!"

Matthew shook his head with difficulty. As a businessman, eyesight and sense of smell are the most important. He only sees a dead end!

What's more, it is impossible to persuade other shipyard companies to join with only a dozen guards.

Bai Yang smiled dumbly, he knew very well what the other party was thinking, if he encountered such a thing, he would think he had encountered a lunatic.

He scattered his hair and stared at Matthew: "President Matthew, do you want to think about it again?"

Matthew's pupils shrank suddenly, and he said in disbelief: "You are——"

"Shh!"

Bai Yang put his finger in front of his lips with a smile, and then patted Matthew on the shoulder: "It's easy for me to protect the caravan. The key is whether the president has the courage."

"President Matthew, you are a businessman, so you naturally know the importance of the living environment, and the opportunity to save this city is in your hands."

"Or you can also inform the navy, maybe there will be unexpected gains."

Bai Yang's posture was very relaxed. When talking about the navy, it was like introducing a friend. He waved his hand and walked towards the door: "You can find me at the Kara Tavern in the port."

Matthew was in a cold sweat. Facing a world-class criminal, no matter how tall he was, he couldn't help being confused at this moment.

If you tell the navy the news, you can get at least tens of millions of Baileys. This is a no-cost deal!
And if he cooperates with Bai Yang, once exposed, it is likely to arouse the anger of the government and become a criminal.

Matthew quickly thought about the pros and cons. No matter what he thought, it would be more cost-effective to report to the navy, but in his mind, those skilled craftsmen who were unemployed, the prosperity of the dock in the past, and the appearance of the city that had lived for decades appeared in his mind!
"Wait a moment!"

Almost exhausting all his strength, he stretched out his hand to Bai Yang: "Before I was a businessman, I was a glorious citizen of the capital of seven waters!"

Bai Yang turned around with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "You will be proud of the decision just now."

That night, the owners of the four major shipyards in the capital of seven waters gathered together for a secret meeting.

"Matthew, you're crazy!"

After a while, the three bosses only had this one thought, and put all their wealth on one voyage, which is the behavior of a lunatic no matter how you look at it.

"I'm not crazy!" Matthew's eyes were shining, and he said roughly, "I'm 100% sure that I can be guaranteed the safety of this voyage, and there is only one chance like this!
You all know the situation in the capital of seven waters, if it continues for at most three years, the city will be completely over! "

The owner of Dock No. [-] said coldly: "I don't know how capable that customer is, but if we push everything, if something goes wrong, nearly a thousand shipwrights will all starve to death!"

"That's right, Matthew, if you form a large caravan in this era, all the pirates in the surrounding seas will riot, that would be hell! Besides, we don't have money to hire guards!"

Boss No. [-] and No. [-] echoed each other, and they didn't trust Matthew at all. They were competitors!
"Oh!"

With a sullen face, Matthew slapped a stack of contracts on the table!
"This is all my property, including Dock No. [-]. If there is a problem with the caravan, everything in this contract belongs to you!"

Matthew knew that it was impossible to convince the three of them, so he offered real benefits!
The three bosses looked at each other. They thought Matthew was joking. As a businessman, how could he give up all his wealth to others.

But they checked the deed carefully, and there was nothing wrong, everything in it was real, even including Matthew's home!
"Matthew, you are really crazy!"

Matthew cracked his lips and smiled: "Life always requires a few big bets!"
