Chapter 558
The foreman said to him with a smile: “Aren’t you going to get off the boat and have a look? I know what you are afraid of, you are afraid that once you step on the land of the dock, you will not be able to walk? Such a worry It’s unnecessary, you look at the steel battleship in the distance, if we really want to kill you, can you run away?”
The captain looked at the military port in the distance, the two huge steel battleships were quiet and quiet. Moored there, indeed, if this thing is chasing a wooden sailboat, no wooden sailboat can escape. If people don’t take action, they just make it clear that they won’t take action against him. There’s really no need to worry about it.
The captain said: “But I have added food and drinking water, so there is no need to go ashore.”
The foreman said: “The cargo on your ship, we may be able to see it here. Yes, you have to know that although there is only one person standing in front of you now, your cargo is facing all the people in the entire Gran Kingdom.”
The captain thought about it carefully, yes, it is dark now The relationship between the Holy See and the Kingdom of Gran is very bad. It is said that the trade between the Lost City and the Kingdom of Gran has been cut off, and a large amount of goods are piled up in the Lost City. North Desert Kingdom and Norma Kingdom Transshipment.
For this kind of thing, businessmen are actually very disgusted, especially the maritime businessmen. Their stage of activity is the sea, the entire world, and they are never trapped in just one continent and one country. They hope to be happy on the world stage and do business happily. The practice of blocking ports like the Holy See of Darkness and not providing goods to the Gran Kingdom is really abhorrent to the sea merchants.
“Okay, I’ve got some goodies from the new continent here.” The captain, lying on the side of the boat, loudly said, “There’s peppers, sweet potatoes, some rubies and sapphires, and a big piece of gold! I want to know, is there anyone here who needs it?”
He just finished saying this, when he saw the foreman took out another crystal ball and called into it, “Commodity Exchange, here I am. It’s Pier Seventeen, here’s a captain who can provide chili peppers, sweet potatoes, some rubies and sapphires, a big piece of dog head gold… oh? Three merchants have registered to buy these things? Okay, please turn Dial these merchants…”
He hung up the phone and said to the captain, “Good news, there are three merchants who need these things and they will be there soon.”

The captain was stunned: “I want to know, the crystal ball in your hand is a strategic communication crystal ball, right? This thing is already a small foreman on the dock that can be used casually. Is it?”
“This one is different, this one is made of small pieces of crystal, no image, only sound, low cost, and has entered the civilian field.” The foreman said happily with a smile: “Of course It is still very expensive, and ordinary people still cannot afford it, but ordinary nobles and wealthy families can already afford it. This is not my own, but the public property of the Wharf Commodity Exchange.”
Captain: “…”
It’s very big, three businessmen came with entourage, one of them is actually Robb’s old friend, a traveling dwarf businessman, he hasn’t been in the lost city for a long time When the goods arrived, they were full of thirst for peppers and sweet potatoes. The other two merchants were also interested in the captain’s gems and kotou gold. The three merchants quickly divided up all the goods on the ship and happily loaded them into the cart. All shipped.
Chapter 777 Help me find something
Captain is very happy, he has quite a lot of goods in this ship, even in the Lost City, it is quite enough to sell them all It’s not easy, didn’t expect to be swept away in this emerging port in an instant.
This shipment of goods is sold very quickly and earns a lot of money, so I can happily go to the next shipment.
At this time, the foreman on the dock spoke again: “Mr. Captain, I see that your cargo warehouse is empty now. Wouldn’t it be a waste to leave the cabin empty? Why not fill it up? The cargo we have here will be pulled to another place.”
The captain is in a good mood: “What special products do you have here?”
The foreman chuckled: “We There are too many special products here, you see, there is a special product exhibition next to the pier, if you go in and turn around, you will know how rich the special products of my Gran Kingdom are.”
The captain actually jumped off the boat after hearing this. He is no longer afraid of this port, although the current relationship between the Kingdom of Gran and the Kingdom of Norma is terrible, and it looks like a fight may break out at any time. But this port obviously didn’t mean the slightest threat to him.
He took a few of his subordinates and walked into the specialty product exhibition center, and at a glance he saw a pair of beautifully embroidered stockings hanging on the wall.
“Oh, I know this, these are socks that sell very well in the upper class.” The captain said: “I bought them in the Lost City before, and the purchase price of this stuff is one piece. Two gold coins.”
The foreman who walked in with him said with a slight smile: “In our place, the purchase price of this thing is as low as three gold coins, because the lost city The socks there are purchased from us, and now the Lost City can no longer be purchased from us.”
The captain heard: “One gold coin three? Oh! My God, I want five boxes of this kind of socks, no, ten boxes!”
The foreman smiled and said: “Don’t rush to buy too much of one kind of goods, you can look this way, There is very high-quality white sugar here. You see, it is crystal clear and near-transparent, like crystal… The purchase price of this thing is also 20% lower than that of the Lost City.”
The captain followed. The foreman turned around and was shocked by the dazzling array of goods. The key point is that the prices of goods here are generally a lot lower than those in the Lost City.
He couldn’t help but have a question: “Why are the things here so cheap?”
The foreman said with a slight smile: “That’s because the transportation cost is low, our Gran Kingdom’s Rare goods are mainly produced in the two cities of West Wind City and Bright Road. To transport the things from these two cities to the Lost City, you need to pass through two forests, the road is difficult, and there are monsters stalking, transporting The cost is extremely high. However, to transport goods from these two cities to Hong Kong, it only takes one or two days to arrive by train, and there is no danger on the road. This greatly saves the transportation cost and makes the price of goods in Hong Kong. Cheap and good quality.”
The captain suddenly realized that it was an advanced train that directly pulled goods from the inland city to the port. In the same way, the port can also quickly pull the goods from the sea. To the inland, it seems that the cargo throughput of this port will definitely exceed that of the Lost City, it is only a matter of time.
The foreman added with a smile: “By the way, there is another biggest advantage of this port. This is a free trade port. This port does not collect taxes on all goods transiting in the port. Taxes will only be collected when you are inland.”
The captain is very happy: “I, Fake, why didn’t you say this earlier? If I knew that there would be no tax collection, why would I listen to your nonsense for a long time? I want to buy it. Buy, buy, and exchange every Copper Coin in my hand for goods.”
The foreman said with a smile: “Because, the most important news is at the end, and you will feel as if It’s like winning a lottery.”
The captain is really happy as if he won the lottery, because the taxation is extremely high these days, especially for the marine goods pulled by the sea merchants, which are often subject to heavy taxation Yes, but now he has been told that there is no need to pay taxes at all. It is no wonder that when he sold things to three merchants just now, no one negotiated with him to study the issue of who should pay the taxes, because there is simply no tax here.
“Heaven! This is the paradise of sea merchants.”
The captain laughed.
After dozens of minutes, the captain, as he said, replaced every copper plate with cargo and filled the entire warehouse. This warehouse was enough for him to make a lot of money. .
Just as he was about to set sail and leave, he suddenly saw the man who greeted him on the sand booth just now, sitting on his bow at some point.
The captain hurriedly gave a big gift: “Oh, the esteemed lord of West Wind City, the great Godafather, the hero who can fight against the Black Dragon, what advice do you have?”
Robb smiled at him: “Don’t be so nervous, my people in West Wind City are talking to me, will not be so cautious, everyone can talk like friends.”
The captain quickly changed his posture It was a little easier to “pretend”, but I was still very nervous.
Robb said with a smile: “I came to you, mainly because I want you to help me find something.”
The captain said quickly: “hope to hear the details.”
Robb said, “You know, the last year the Black Dragon was flying, I had a little fight with the Black Dragon.”
Is that little? The captain sweated, thinking: You are a battle of heaven shaking, earth shattering.
Robb said: “The result of this small fight was not perfect. Because I didn’t have the desired equipment, I was run away by Black Dragon.”
This sentence almost The captain was frightened to death, and said to himself: You can defeat the Black Dragon, it is already a miracle, it is an epic, and it is a feat that no one has been able to achieve in more than a thousand years. Are you still not satisfied? Don’t want it to run yet? What exactly are you going to do?
Robb said: “So, I need equipment! And equipment needs to be made from rare minerals.”
The captain understood: “You mean… let I’ll help you keep an eye out for rare minerals? Good things like mithril and thorium?”
Robb said with a smile: “Mithril and Thorium are garbage.”
Captain: “…”
Listen, is this a human word?
Robb said: “I also know that your cognition of metal minerals is limited, so the best metals you know are mithril and thorium, but I also know many strange metals, If I can find them, I’ll be able to make a real, desirable set, and then…I’ll challenge the Black Dragon again and kill it!”
The captain hurriedly saluted: “Only you are qualified to do such a great initiative.”
Robb said: “It’s not necessary to be polite, I want you to help find all kinds of stones you don’t know, because The world that you merchants have traveled through is very broad, not only the continent of encounters, but also the new continent, the Eastern World… You can help me find what I want in the wider world.”
Chapter 778 The Development of the Harbor City
Captain nodded: “I understand, you want me to find all kinds of stones I have never seen before, and then you will identify them whether they are The metal ore you want.”
“That’s right.” Robb said with a smile: “Especially the new continent Maya, I’m still very interested in the ore there. As far as I know You know, the sea merchants of the Norma Kingdom are most familiar with the new continent Maya.”
Captain nodded: “You have found the right person for this, it’s not me blowing it, I just know the new continent the most.”
One of the familiar sea merchants, I have established a trustworthy relationship with the Mayans over there, and the peppers and sweet potatoes I re-sold this time were bought from the Mayans.”
Robb said: “Then this great task will be handed over to you. Next time you go to Maya, help me find strange ores. If you find a stone that I am satisfied with, I will let you Make a lot of money.”
The captain rejoices: “What about the introduction?”
