Chapter 4419 4421 [Weird George Shop]

"Recruiting extraordinary people, not afraid of spending money, as long as they have real skills, no matter how high the price is, I can afford it." Xiang Nan instructed the manager Ryan Thompson, "Purchasing rare treasures, as long as they are extraordinary items, no matter how high the price is, I can afford it.

Once you have verified it, send me a message and I will rush over to trade as soon as possible. You will get a reward for every successful transaction. I will not let you work in vain. "

He would not give the money to Ryan to manage, because he was afraid that Ryan would run away with the money. You know, there are all kinds of people in Tetuga Port, including pirates, gangsters and profiteers. Honest people cannot survive here.

Especially Ryan was born as a broker, he was used to cheating and deceiving his superiors and subordinates, so if you give him the money, he might really run away with the money. Even if he ran away to the end of the world, Xiang Nan could find him, but why bother?

On the one hand, even if Ryan is honest, others may not be honest. Someone may deceive him, play tricks, trick him, or make fake goods to deceive him.

No matter how cunning Ryan was, he was just an ordinary person after all, and his ability to distinguish was limited. So Xiang Nan asked him to be responsible for reception only, and he had to handle the specific transactions himself.

Fortunately, he can Apparate, so it is convenient for him to move back and forth.

Ryan Thompson was naturally happy to receive a fixed salary of five gold coins per month and a reward for every successful transaction.

After all, competition in the brokerage business is very fierce. It is common to be closed for half a year, and you may not be able to earn 20 or 30 gold coins in a year.

Now he gets a fixed salary of five gold coins every month, which is enough for him to eat, drink and pick up girls. What is there for him to be dissatisfied with?

He then pounded his chest and promised, "Boss, don't worry, I will definitely help you run the business well."

……

Time flies, and soon more than a month has passed.

During this period, Port Royal was largely peaceful.

Firstly, Xiang Nan strictly governed the army and enforced strict military discipline. He sent troops to patrol the streets every day to suppress the locals. If there were rogue pirates, illegal merchants who extorted, cheated, and deceived, they would be dealt with in time. In this way, the order of Royal Port was guaranteed;

Secondly, Xiang Nan's defeat of Red-Eyed Sharlock also shocked a group of pirates, letting them know that the new sheriff of Royal Port was not someone to be trifled with.

The reason why pirates became pirates was more for the sake of wealth rather than for the sake of winning a victory. Navigators like Captain Jack who only enjoyed freedom and adventure were even rarer.

Port Royal is not easy to mess with, so those pirates only mess with easy ones and don't bother to fight head-on in Port Royal, so Port Royal is naturally more peaceful.

During this period, Xiang Nan also had a very good relationship with Governor Weatherby Swann, Elizabeth Swann.

Xiang Nan maintained order in Port Royal and created a good business environment, which made merchant ships willing to come here to trade and brought rich tax revenue to Port Royal.

As the governor, Weatherby was naturally happy, as these were considered his political achievements, and he was naturally very satisfied with Xiang Nan's talents.

Elizabeth prefers Xiang Nan.

Because Xiang Nan always brings her surprises. For example, she loves the pair of roller skates so much that she skates wherever she goes and is reluctant to take them off when she goes to bed at night.

In addition, Xiang Nan also gave her a parrot that could mimic speech, a music box that could play music, and a little man that could dance when wound up... Elizabeth loved these novel toys very much.

Moreover, Xiang Nan was not only good at giving small toys. He was also very knowledgeable, and was very good at Latin, French, arithmetic, literature, music, dance, painting, etc. In addition, he was tolerant, knowledgeable, and experienced, which naturally made Elizabeth like him.

This is not like James Norrington at all.

James Norrington grew up in a military camp and was accustomed to obeying discipline and sticking to conventions. As a result, he was rather square, old-fashioned and stubborn, which was completely incompatible with Elizabeth, who loved freedom, adventure and excitement.

Therefore, even though he was superior to Will Turner in all aspects, and even in terms of appearance, he was not inferior to Will Turner, but ultimately he was unable to win Elizabeth's heart.

Xiang Nan knew this, so he would not repeat the same mistake as him.

……

Over the past month, Xiang Nan has also received news about the Black Pearl.

After the curse was lifted, Barbossa and his companions attacked merchant ships in the Caribbean Sea and looted all their money and goods in order to regain the lost gold coins as soon as possible.

As a result, many merchant ships have suffered losses.

However, since they have not come around Royal Port for the time being, and Xiang Nan has not received any orders to wipe them out, he doesn't need to meddle in other people's business.

In addition, over the past month, Xiang Nankai has also completed several transactions at the Weird George Store in Port Tetuga.

The first transaction was for a pipe that did not require ignition. As long as you put tobacco leaves in it, the pipe would automatically light up without ignition. It was a rare item.

This strange object itself was not of much value, Xiang Nan didn't even know what to do with it. To him, it was simply trash, even worse than chicken ribs.

However, in order to make his store famous, he spent ten gold coins to buy the useless pipe, which really made the store famous.

Everyone in Port Tetuga knew that the owner of Weird George's store was stupid and rich, and was willing to pay a high price for any junk, so they flocked there.

Most of them were garbage, and they didn't even pass Ryan Thompson's test. After all, he had been a broker and had some serious vision. He didn't just idle away his time and get paid for nothing.

But there are indeed a few strange items among them.

The second strange item Xiang Nan bought was a monkey skull that could cause hallucinations. Just drip a drop of blood on its bones and people would think they were monkeys living in an endless banana plantation.

This is a useless treasure, because you can only eat bananas in the illusion. But Xiang Nan bought it because he also felt a trace of the breath of God in this monkey skull.

The third strange object is a cursed wine jug. No matter what good wine is poured into it, it will turn into tasteless water when you drink it.

This wine jug is simply the natural enemy of drunkards. The drunkard who sold it wanted to throw it away directly, so Xiang Nan only spent one gold coin to buy it.

The fourth item is a sharp animal tooth with a terrible curse on it. When you wear it, it will pierce into your body at night and secretly suck your blood. So far, four owners have died from it.

In addition to the four strange objects, there is another strange man, the one who sold the monkey skull. He was originally a slave who was trafficked here. He could command monkeys to perform acrobatics, pick coconuts, and even steal other people's property. He was quite good at stealing.
