Chapter 555 Strange Goods
Seeing such a treasure, the clan clan moved the idea of snatching, although he didn't have a navy, but he was related to the nine ghosts Jialong, as long as he said it, presumably the Kumano navy would also help, but the problem was, as far as the broken ships of the Kumano navy were not the opponents of this galleon at all, and I'm afraid Carl was not without defense, which can be seen from the fact that he didn't transport these machines to the shore, and even he didn't get off the boat, so it can be said that as long as he was at sea, then he couldn't help him at all
It seems that this crooked idea is useless to him, how can he leave these machines behind? It's a real headache.
"Lord Takayama, I guess you must have been stunned by the power of this machine, but you don't have to, you only need 60,000 yuan and he is yours, why don't you trade it today." Seeing that the clan didn't speak for a long time, Carl couldn't help urging.
And the Gaoshan clan really couldn't think of any good way, so he could only say regretfully: "Alas, for these two iron cannon production lines, the clan is indeed very fond of it, however, I can only tell you very sorry that I don't have so much money to buy, so although I am reluctant but also have to give up, but since Mr. can be the first to think of the clan, the clan does not want you to run in vain, so I am willing to provide you with the cost of returning, and I also hope that after your country is restored, I will cooperate with me." Sorry, very sorry. ”
Although the clan didn't want to say this, but the matter had come to this point, he had to say it, he only hoped that there would be a possibility of cooperating with Carl in the future.
"What? This is impossible, my lord, you are not only a big nobleman with a fief, but also a profitable business like a sparrow house, the money you have earned in the past few years is definitely enough, my lord, this is the most advanced iron cannon production line, even if it is the most advanced in the world, you have to think about it carefully, like those little tricks when we talked about the iron cannon business last time, I hope you don't use it again. I can tell you unequivocally that these machines are already being sold cheaply. If the adults don't want it, I can pull it back and sell it for a better price.
I found you first because we have had a great time working together over the past few years. Otherwise, how could I have come from thousands of miles away, so you must think about it. The first half of the sentence is indeed Karl's determination, and he definitely does not intend to drop the money. However, the second half of the sentence is a little insincere.
The chaos in Europe is not much better than that of Japan, either because Spain and the Netherlands are fighting for supremacy at sea, or because Ireland is fighting for independence, and other countries are no better off than these places. What is most needed is weapons and weapons production lines.
However, Carl's Chamber of Commerce has now become a rootless duckweed, and there is no country left, who cares about him as a small businessman, so the two production lines in his hands have long been targeted by countless people, if he still dares to stay there, then the two production lines in his hands will definitely not be able to be saved, not sold, but snatched away. That's why he had to come here to trade with the clan.
In his opinion, although the distance is much farther, it is better to be safe. He didn't want half of his life's hard work to go to waste, and as long as the money was in hand, then he could find a peaceful country to be a rich man, so when he heard that the clan directly refused, how could he not be in a hurry.
After listening to this, the clan could only smile bitterly, and only listened to him say: "What you said is right, I have earned a lot of money, but it is not as exaggerated as you said, and in order to improve the combat power of the army under his command." Most of the money I earned was spent on them, and not long ago, I built a road from the territory to Hida, which cost tens of thousands of kan alone, so although your things are good, I really can't afford them. If you're planning to pull it back, then I hope you can get it for a good price. ”…,
"Go back and sell? Shit! If I had been able to make a move in Europe, I would have ...... it a long time ago" Suddenly, Carl realized that he had said the most undesirable thing in a fit of rage.
And the clan couldn't help but light up after hearing this, yes, if he can make a move in Europe, how can he come here, there must be something greasy during this period, and no one will be willing to go far, although this is to give himself the opportunity to reduce the price, but the clan knows the value of these two production lines, even if he forces out the other party's reserve price, I am afraid he still can't afford it.
So he didn't continue to dwell on this issue, anyway, the more he talked about it, the more distressed he became, so it was better to ask about the situation and see if there was any other way.
Thinking of this, he only heard the clan say: "Although I can't afford these two iron cannon production lines, as a friend, can you tell me what happened to you?" ”
Now that the panic has been exposed, Carl has no need to hide it, and he also wants to find someone to tell about the bitterness in his heart. But the wine in the bottle was gone, and without the wine, Carl couldn't tell.
Follow Carl back to the captain's quarters, and when he drinks again, the conversation finally opens.
"I was homeless after I bought the two lines, I sold all my property to be exact, and I was going to use the money to build a field to make iron cannons, but with the outbreak of the war, my hopes were dashed, and my family, including my lover and my lovely children, were left in the war.
With the departure of my loved ones, I was already disheartened, and I planned to sell these two production lines, and then use the money to enjoy my old age in peace, but due to the destruction of my motherland, without the protection of the state, the merchants of other countries who will really trade with me, those shit want to get benefits without paying any price, fortunately I am still alert, and immediately lead the fleet to escape, otherwise I really have nothing, maybe even my life will be gone.
After all, your country is at war, who has the best weapons, who undoubtedly has an invincible position, and you also have money, so after thinking about it, I led the fleet to embark on a journey, but you rejected me in the end, and it's as simple as that.
Well, I cheated on you just now, and I don't think I'm worthy of being your friend anymore. Karl said as he left tears in his eyes, and when his lover and child left him, he was left with only tears and wine in his life.
After hearing what happened to Carl, the clan also felt deep sympathy, and only heard him speak: "People can't be resurrected after death, please mourn Mr." ”
Carl didn't seem to hear what the clan was saying, but said to himself: "Before my family left me, I only thought about making money, and it was rare to see them a few times a year, but this doesn't mean that I don't love them, on the contrary, whenever I sail on the sea, what I miss most is them, and I think about it all the time, and the reason why I make money like this is not to let them live a happy life, but now that they are gone, what is the use of making more money." ”
After saying that, the captain's room suddenly fell silent, Carl was reminiscing about the past, and the clan was also very sad for what happened to him, he didn't expect that Carl would be so affectionate, and judging from his expression, this was not pretended at all.
"Okay, Lord Xie Xie Gaoshan can listen to me so much, although this deal has not been negotiated, but I can say all the words in my heart, which makes me much more comfortable, Lord Gaoshan, these two production lines are a big trouble for me, so I still hope that the adults can buy it, as for the price, I want to hear the quotation of the adults, you can just say it." …,
Seeing that the words returned to business, the clan also swept away the sympathy just now, in his opinion, business is business, and must be separated from human feelings, and now the clan has a plan in his heart, he not only intends to leave these two production lines, even the card and does not plan to let go, after all, there will be a large cylinder of this weapon in Japan, and as a Nanbanian, and a shrewd Nanban businessman, if he is allowed to negotiate with the Nanban businessman who came to Japan, he will definitely achieve the effect of doing things.
Thinking of this, I only heard the clan sect speak: "If I understand well, then it can be said that you are homeless now, right?" ”
Carl nodded and said: "It can be understood, but it is not comprehensive, I really can't return to Europe until the problem of these two production lines is solved, but this does not mean that I do not have this ability, although my money has basically run out."
However, before my father, every generation of patriarchs of my family was a great pirate, and my grandfather was received by Her Majesty the Queen of the British Empire and became a member of the Royal Navy.
I'm not afraid of the anger of adults, in my eyes, those small ships in your country are completely vulnerable in front of my Spanish sails, okay, it's a bit far-fetched, let's talk about these two production lines. ”
"Let's tell you the truth, at present, the funds I can raise are only more than 10,000 if they are exchanged for Jin Xiaoju, but these can't all be used to buy these two production lines, because I am about to use troops against other forces, and the strength of the other party is far above me, I am afraid you also know that the war is money, so I must leave enough military spending, so the real funds that can be used are only a few thousand."
Although Carl expected that the clan would keep the price very low, he didn't expect it to be such a price, which exceeded Carl's final bottom line by much. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
