Chapter 1770 A Booster
The official was also very helpless, "There is nothing we can do. The previous port official was greedy for a lot of money. This is his favor. Now that guy is exiled to Micronesia to mine phosphate mines!"

"Wait a minute, what are these phosphate mines talking about?" Jack Sparrow asked Gibbs in a low voice with his head tilted in confusion.

"Guano!" Gibbs leaned into Jack Sparrow's ear, and his answer was concise.

"Oh~" Jack Sparrow immediately understood.

The official felt sympathetic in his heart, "So this guy's boat can't be sold, and he has no money to pay when it's moored at the port. In addition, this guy is a gambler, every time he takes money, he gambles."

"So we made an agreement with him that the last ship must be settled before taking it away. Originally, this ship was regarded as a mortgage for the port, but since you want to buy it, we can't stop you."

"But after the purchase, all previous berthing and miscellaneous fees must be paid in full, otherwise the ship will still be mortgaged at the port."

Gibbs stared at the bull's-eye, "After a long time, it turns out that we were taken advantage of."

Gibbs looked at Jack Sparrow beside him. Jack was also helpless and could only shake his head and smile wryly.

"This profiteer!" But Gibbs still gritted his teeth when he thought of how much less money he had in his pocket.

"Fortunately, you guys know what you're looking for, and the price has come down. Lin Lin finally figured it out, as long as you pay a little over 1000 gold coins, this ship can actually sell for about 1200 gold coins, so you've made a profit."

Earned money is earned, but Gibbs has traveled all over the world for so many years, but he can't swallow this breath.

"Where has he gone now? I'm going to chase him back!"

"The official shook his head and smiled wryly. I'm sorry. At this time, he must have left Panama by fast boat. After all, who would foolishly follow you."

"Even if you go after it now, you probably won't be able to catch up. He is on the escorting clipper of the cruise fleet. He bought the ticket yesterday and has already left the port." The official looked at the clock in the office. road.

"As for your ship, it doesn't even have sailors, so it's basically impossible to catch up with the cruiser's fast boat."

"This guy, don't let me meet him at sea. If I meet him at sea, I will let him." Gibbs said harshly.

But the official shook his head helplessly, and handed over a receipt, "Both of you, please pay the parking fees and warehouse management fees!"

Jack Sparrow cast his eyes on Gibbs, and Gibbs cursed in his heart, it was so disgusting, how could he do this.

"But I found out that we don't have any extra gold coins on us now!" Gibbs explained, and he also wanted to hold on.

The official smiled, "It doesn't matter, as long as you have money in the bank, there is no need to carry gold coins around. That guy is carrying gold coins to prevent people from chasing his gambling debts. As for us It doesn't need to be so troublesome."

Said the official pushed a document in front of Jack Sparrow, "You two sign here, use your seal, and fill in your bank and account number."

"Come here with a bank transfer note, and we will debit the gold coins you have to pay from the corresponding bank."

"So simple? But we don't seem to have the secret seal you mentioned." Gibbs paused.

The official shook his head, these two guys didn't notice that they were quite outdated, "When you were depositing money in the bank, a secret seal ring was issued to you, and the pattern on the ring is the secret seal, as long as the seal matches the signature left , it can be used as a check to withdraw money from the bank, and this is one of the certificates for withdrawal.”

Jack Sparrow stepped forward, the loss has been eaten anyway, and now he can't get it back, so he can only admit it.

He signed his name in a hurry, stretched out his palm in doubt, revealing the ring, "How do I use this thing?"

The official shook his head again, motioning him to take off the ring, passed a pen through the ring and rolled on the ink pad, got the ink pad, and then rolled the ring on the paper, a barcode with a blue seal was appeared on the paper.

Gibbs also came forward to sign the terms of the contract. The official flicked the note and handed it to Jack Sparrow, "The payment can be made next door."

After a while, the two came back from the next door, and the official took the transfer note and said, "Congratulations, you two can pick up the boat."

As he spoke, his speed was fast, his hands kept moving, and several freshly made seals beeped on the contract, "These two copies are for backup, this one is for you, you can take this document to the port to berth If you want to clean up the barnacles on the ship or repair the ship, there are six docks in the port for you to use, and there will be a certain discount!" The official smiled and showed his white teeth.

Gibbs felt that White Fang was like a beast's big mouth, which could eat people without spitting out bones.

They have only been in this port for a long time, and the money in their pockets suddenly lost more than 500 gold coins.

Gibbs and Jack Sparrow also fled here.

At this time, a person came out behind a screen at the berthing management office of the port, "They're gone!"

"Yes, the ship was sold to them, and the price is not low."

"It can be regarded as a big bargain for them. I originally reserved this ship to sell to the pioneering business group, but I didn't expect that Jack Sparrow came and owed Earl Sparrow a favor. It’s good to make up for the gap in favor.”

"It's just a pity for Duo Lun. Duo Lun is a guy who gambles, his gambling brain is broken, and he doesn't know what is in his mind. In a fleet of twenty ships, only one ship is left for him to toss alive. The predecessor was exiled."

"That's right, if we hadn't detained him, there wouldn't be a single ship left, and if he owed the port tax, he would also be sentenced to exile!"

"Boss, do you think this casino is really a sinful place, but everyone who comes out of that place will have their skins peeled off!"

The official sighed to his subordinates: "Isn't it? That's why there is a ban on small gambling, but big gambling hurts the body."

"If an official enters the casino without official duties, he will undoubtedly be punished, but some people just don't give up!"

"Let's not talk about this, by the way, is there any news from the Bogota Monthly recently!"

"Yes, there is good news. The construction of the canal is finally about to start. After so many years of soil picking, the project has finally been approved and construction has started. Panama will soon usher in a moment of vitality."

The official shook his head, "It's not as simple as you think. It is not a matter of one or two years to open the Panama Canal. This matter has long been set as a national policy in the kingdom, but so far, the Canal has only How long has it been repaired!"

"This is still not going to be drastic repairs. Even so, how much manpower and material resources were spent and how many people died in order to build bridges and get through the mountains."

"There are dozens of dead souls every 100 meters on this canal!" The official sighed, and his subordinates also shook their heads.

No way, Panama is fine, but there are many problems.

It is really not as easy as imagined to open the canal.

Fortunately, the core of the kingdom has already made a decision to formally set up a project to start large-scale construction, and the laborers are undoubtedly those black households who have been exiled from other countries.

As for the other places of exile, I don't care so much for the time being, let them suffer first.

"The Panama Canal is now the most important project in the country. As the largest port at the source of the Panama Canal, the Port of Cologne is expected to enjoy inexhaustible wealth in the future." As they spoke, the two officials looked at each other and smiled.

Once the Panama Canal is opened, for the whole of Panama, it will have wings. As a commercial dominion, Panama is not as prosperous as imagined.

Although the small waterway of the Panama Canal has been built, only one ship can pass through it, and it is also intermittent.

In many cases, it has to be towed by human and animal power, but once the Panama Canal starts construction, it will undoubtedly be a booster for Panama.
