There are risks in doing business.
The level of risk also determines the level of profit.
Lynn and Colin have known each other for nearly five years.
Although Colin is a member of the gang, he has business acumen and knows how to use the background of the gang to make him earn more money.
Of course, relationship and background are only bonus points in business.
If you really want to make big money, you must grasp the opportunities.
Lynn believes that Colin will definitely agree to cooperate.
Because the revolutionary army is an unknown number.
Although the revolutionary army is still very'weak', the weak revolutionary army has not been immediately eliminated by the world government.
On the contrary, the riots created by the revolutionary army in various places have caused a lot of trouble to the countries of the world government.
Colin reads the newspaper every day, and the gangs have their own channels to obtain new information.
Therefore, Colin also believes that the Revolutionary Army will do something.
Regardless of whether the revolutionary army can eventually overthrow the world government, the turmoil caused by this process is a good opportunity to make money.
Who will have trouble with money?
Isn't it just for money that the gang fights and kills and grabs territory?
If you only collect management fees by the dock, you might as well go out to sea as a pirate.
After all, gangsters also have to support their families.
If the life goes badly, the people under your hands will run out early.
...
Coming out of the restaurant, Lynn was just about to go to the navy station.
In order to successfully transport the materials out, he still has to make some arrangements.
Although the goods are shipped out of Rogge Town in the name of'smuggling', they may also be traced during the smuggling process.
The spy agency of the world government is not for nothing.
These agents are lurking anywhere in the world.
It may be a cadre in the gang, or hello.
It could also be a hostess in a nightclub.
Or the owner of a clothing store.
In short, the secret agents will be hidden as ordinary people, and the incubation time will be several years, even more than ten years.
However, as soon as Lynn stepped out of the restaurant, two young men stopped him.
These two young men were the young businessmen who had just been beaten on the dock.
Lynn looked at the two young men and asked jokingly, "Are you here to pay the money?"
The two of them were still dirty, their shirts were still bloody, and the toes were badly worn.
This outfit does not look like rich.
One of the young businessmen with blond hair took off his cowboy hat and bowed to Lynn to thank him. He said, "My name is Mickey, and his name is Bob, Mr. Lynn. We are here to thank you for your help. As for your We may not have enough money for the time being."
Another young man called Bob also looked embarrassed and explained embarrassingly: "Almost all our money is spent on this goods. I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing. But please You can rest assured that as long as we sell this batch of goods, we can return the money to you."
The two young men are obviously rookies.
Use all the money to buy goods, and then don't understand anything, and come to Rogue Town.
Although the business is very simple.
Theoretically, it is enough to sell goods from one place to another place and make a profit from it.
But it seems simple, there are many doorways inside.
The two stunned young men obviously underestimated the career of a businessman.
Thought the merchant's money was too good.
"Then you guys come on, it's not easy to be a businessman."
Lynn didn't plan to talk more with Mickey and Bob, he just met them by the water.
The reason for helping them two is entirely to'highlight' his status.
Lynn's dream, or ambition, is no smaller than anyone else.
It's just that he has made a plan to complete him step by step.
While making money, expand his influence among businessmen.
Helping Mickey and Bob is just a'daily' to increase their influence.
It's just that Mickey and Bob don't think so, they both think Lynn is a good person.
Moreover, they can also see that Lynn is very influential in Rogue Town.
The gangs in Rogge Town must give Lynn face.
The merchants in Rogue's town all knew Lynn very well.
If they can have a good relationship with Lynn, then it will be easier to do business in the future.
Although the two guys are rookies, they have good eyesight and know how to hold thighs.
Mitch caught up with Lynn, "Mr. Lynn, can I talk to you if I can?"
Bob followed Mickey and nodded frequently.
It can be seen that Mickey is the leader of the two.
Lynn glanced at Mickey and Bob. Suddenly he had an idea and didn't bother them. "I'm going to the navy garrison and talk to Colonel Condair about something. You can wait for me at the Buck Hotel and mention mine to the boss. Name, let him prepare a room for you, and some food, and change your clothes by the way."
Mickey and Bob looked at each other at the same time.
Lynn said: "A good businessman can't be dirty, and the shirt has blood stains."
"Thank you, Mr. Lynn."
Mickey and Bob said gratefully.
After dismissing Mickey and Bob, Lynn quickened his pace and came to the naval station.
The navy stationed in the town of Rogge has a total of 3,000 men.
The man in charge of this force is the middle-aged Colonel Condelet.
Colonel Condélay used to be promoted step by step from naval soldiers to colonel based on his military exploits.
He even imagined that he could be promoted to the headquarters.
However, from the age of 16 to 44, 28 years have passed.
He also caught the pirate and was wounded countless times in the battle.
It's so great!
He knelt and licked all the people sent by the navy headquarters.
But the result?
Those newcomers who were sent from the headquarters to the East China Sea for internship all returned to the headquarters one by one, and the future is bright.
And he stayed in the East China Sea.
If the status quo cannot be changed, then he is probably unable to be transferred back to the headquarters, and he has no hope of being promoted to the Governor of the East China Sea.
middle age crisis!
How many people reach middle age, because they lose their upward channel, they become decadent and forget their original intentions.
It was the same with Condély, he started to make money.
Gang's money, merchant's money, pirate's money...
As long as it is money, Condely dare to accept it.
Condely intends to prepare two paths for himself.
Either use the money to buy a way of promotion, or retire after earning enough money and go back to your hometown to become a rich man.
Until the appearance of Lynn, Condely saw a glimmer of light.
Because Lynn and Karp know each other and their relationship is unusual.
Lynn's wallet even had a picture of Lynn and Cap's grandson.
Lieutenant General of the Navy Headquarters, grandson of hero Karp.
If Lynn can help him, then Condely believes that he will be promoted to the headquarters.
Lynn took Mickey and Bob into the room.
He closed the door.
"Just sit down."
Lynn pointed to the sofa in the room.
Mickey and Bob each sat down.
Lynn took out a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet in the room. At the same time, without looking back, he said, "You left your hometown and came here for the purpose of making big money, right."
"Hmm."
Mickey and Bob both nodded and admitted.
Lynn poured himself a glass of red wine and asked them calmly, "So, how do you feel? I mean the experience of doing business?"
"It's okay, but it's harder than expected."
"It's terrible. I mean it's terrible. The taxes here are high. Moreover, the wallet was stolen by a thief and was beaten by a gang."
Mickey and Bob said at the same time.
However, Mickey wanted to conceal their plight, but Bob was much more honest.
Although Mickey kept pulling Bob, hoping that he would not lose face, Bob was still spitting out bitterness.
Lynn asked again: "Did you know about this place before coming to Rogue Town?"
Mickey and Bob shook their heads at the same time.
They only know that this is the entrance to the great route.
Every day there is a large amount of cargo that will be transported from here to the Great Sea Route.
Therefore, they stole all the savings from the family, purchased goods from their hometown, and wanted to come here to make a lot of money.
Unexpectedly, the first pot of gold was not earned, but instead suffered a lot.
"The most important thing in doing business is not only what the customer needs, the transportation on the way, but also the risks during the transportation, as well as local laws, policies, and some unwritten rules and so on."
"You need to know a lot, and what I just said is just the most basic."
"Besides, you need relationships and background."
"Do you all understand what I said?"
Lynn's words were not too complicated, but they did open the door to businessmen for Mickey and Bob.
"Mickey is very flexible and Bob is very honest. I believe you will succeed in the future."
Lynn put down the wine glass, walked in front of Mickey and Bob, pressed their shoulders, and said, "If you want to get started faster, it's better to follow me. I will provide you with your relationship and background."
"really?!"
Mickey and Bob asked excitedly.
Lynn said: "Of course, but before that, you need to go to a place and do me a little favor. Are you willing?"
Mickey and Bob nodded at the same time.
...
Mickey and Lynn found a bar with no sign on a street adjacent to the square.
This pub has a bad location and not many people usually come here.
However, guests who come here will not be received if they do not understand the secret codes and rules of this bar.
Wearing a mask, Mickey walked into the bar and said to the bartender: "I want three cold beer with sugar."
The bartender glanced at Mickey and Bob, then the people at the door winked.
The man at the door went outside to watch the door.
Come with me.
Mickey's signal can match, it is "guest".
Moreover, Mickey and Bob are still wearing masks, they should have been here.
The bartender took Mickey and Bob to the cellar and opened the cellar door.
The bartender said, "Please."
Every city has its own'underground order', and Rogge Town is no exception.
If the gangs control the streets and piers, and the navy controls the sea, then these underground forces are conducting dirty transactions in places completely out of reach of ordinary people.
However, the so-called'dark side' had no effect on Lynn.
This time Lynn sent Mickey and Bob to customize the'service', and he needed a group of people to'play' as a pirate and steal his goods.
...
Below this bar is a place similar to the black market.
Here, everything can be sold.
Including human body organs and intelligence.
Both Mitch and Bob are here for the first time, both nervous and scared.
Below the cellar, there is a long staircase, winding, leading to the underground.
The bartender took the torch and walked ahead.
Mickey and Bob followed the bartender and walked for nearly five minutes before stopping.
Immediately, the'bazaar' came into view.
The bartender said: "Two gentlemen, please do it yourself."
The bartender then left.
Mickey and Bob walked to the bazaar. In the bazaar, both the buyer and the seller had masks on their faces.
The two wandered around in the market at will, and their eyes were quickly attracted by the rewards.
The time is marked on the reward order.
For example, the red-haired Shanks' reward order.
Red-haired Shanks has already made a name in the sea.
Shanks' reward will naturally not be low.
And it is not only the navy that opposes the pirates.
There are specialized bounty hunters who will hunt pirates as a source of income.
Shanks' reward is extremely high, and perhaps a bounty hunter with a hot mind will buy his whereabouts.
Mitch murmured: "5 million Bailey, this information is really not cheap."
Subsequently, Mickey and Bob continued to stroll around the booth.
The black market is a magical place.
The information sold here is extremely authentic, and the source is very'weird'.
Some intelligence, even the spy agency of the world government, has not yet been obtained.
Therefore, in the black market, there may also be secret agents lurking.
Mickey and Bob came to a booth and asked, "I want to sell a piece of news. Can you estimate the price for me?"
The stall owner replied: "You can write it down."
Mickey took the pen and paper and wrote the name of the goods and the value of the goods on the paper.
Two hundred tons of flour and three hundred tons of rice.
Five hundred boxes of anti-inflammatory drugs and 20,000 packs of bandages.
There are also dried meat, disinfected water, medical equipment and so on.
The total value of this shipment is not low!
Especially medicines.
Now the world is not peaceful. Whether it is ordinary people or pirates who are sailing in the sea, the demand for medicine is not low.
The stall owner silently estimated, and said: "10 million Baileys."
The success rate of looting cargo ships is extremely high.
Of course, to leave the waters under the jurisdiction of the Rogge Town Navy.
The pirates saw this big fish and were willing to pay for relevant information.
10 million Baileys!
Mickey was surprised.
However, he still followed Lynn's orders and words.
Mitch said: "20 million Bailey, I risk being hunted down."
The stall owner shook his head, "Sorry, we can only get 10 million Baileys."
Mickey pretended to be anxious, "15 million Bailey."
The stall owner still didn't let go, and said: "10 million Baileys, if you don't want to sell, then please leave immediately."
Seeing that the other party did not intend to compromise, Mickey gritted his teeth and said in an unwilling tone: "Well, just ten million Baileys, I want cash!"
The stall owner then greeted the person behind him.
Soon, someone took the box.
There are ten million Baileys in the box.
Brand new banknotes exude the scent of ink.
The stall owner said: "Please write down the time of departure."
"I'll get the money first." Mickey couldn't wait to take the box and started counting the money.
The stall owner and the people beside him smiled disapprovingly.
Such things are not uncommon in Rogue Town.
There are often businessmen's employees, or down-and-coming businessmen, who make money by selling out the time of their employers and acquaintances.
In their eyes, Mickey and Bob betrayed their employers only for money.
After Mitch and Bob finished counting, they wrote the time and the ship's ship number on the paper.
After Mickey finished writing, he urged: "Okay, give me the money."
The stall owner then handed the money to Mickey.
They are not afraid of Mickey and Bob playing slippery.
When Mickey and Bob take the money, they will send someone to follow.
At the same time, someone will be sent to confirm the accuracy of the information.
If Mickey and Bob deceive them, they will not only take back the money, but also kill both of them.
