I was forced to be the captain of the ghost ship by mistake

Chapter 256 Black Eat Black

The long-awaited invitation came on the third day after the letter from the spirit world was sent out.

An email sent by the Governor's Office in person, General Phyllis invited Mr. Jack Sparrow, who is known as the financial magician and the most gentleman in Baia, to bring his partner to this private dinner.

Now, everyone knows that the huge deficit in Narnia needs a rich and powerful man to make up for it.

Even though General Steven Felice was unwilling to deal with a rich man who had just arrived on the island, most of the tycoons in Narnia now concentrated their cash flow in the hands of the famous Captain Jack.

It was always rumored that he had the power of magic, that he could turn a crown into two, and turn decay into magic.

"Tufu, I'm a little nervous. That's the governor of Narnia."

It was still very difficult for a swindler like Sophie to deceive such a big person for the first time.

She always felt uneasy before she set off, pursing her lips and looking pitifully at Tu Fu who was pretending to be Jack Sparrow.

"Take a deep breath, Sophie, don't be nervous, we're just going to the governor's mansion with the rank of major general, deal with a bunch of shameful corrupt moths, and then use our three-inch tongue to convince them to put all their money into our investment.

Then, we escaped from thousands of marines, making Landis a complete international joke, and we escaped with millions of kroner in cash, and we will dominate the news as the "male and female robber" for a long time to come version, that's all. "

"Damn it, I'm even more panicked now after you said that."

"Okay, how about I told you stories about stress relief."

"Just say it."

"Two salesmen from Baia were sent to an island country in the Sea of ​​Madness to promote the shoes produced by the line company. When they arrived, they found that the residents here didn't have the habit of wearing shoes. What should I do?"

"Going home?"

"The first salesman did exactly that, but the second salesman believed that the island had great potential and only needed some means of development. He asked the company to ship a batch of shoes to the local islanders for free. And tell the benefits of wearing shoes.

When people discover the benefits of wearing shoes, beautiful and comfortable, they develop such a habit.Now the second salesman actually opened up the island country's market. "

Like coaxing a child, Tu Fu carefully instilled chicken soup for the soul with Sophie.

Miss Winster also suddenly realized after listening, "I understand, the implication of this story is that as long as you persevere and work hard, there will be rewards."

"Actually, what I want to express is that since someone will make the money sooner or later, why can't this person be us."

"If only you could shut up now."

Sophie cast a resentful glance at Tu Fu, who was pretending to be a gentleman, and gritted her teeth: "If I get caught, I will definitely confess you."

"God bless, I hope we can be closer when we go to jail." Tu Fu clasped his hands together.

This time, Tu Fu wanted Sophie to be the main culprit of the scam.

Learn his tricks to deceive the people in the Governor's Mansion so that she can quickly digest her potion.

Selling a non-existent financial concept to people is the highest level of sales.

After Tu Fu finished telling the story to ease his emotions, Miss Winster indeed couldn't help but relax a lot because of his cold joke.

"You and Madam, please go slowly."

The butler Alfred saw them off in person, and Sophie's face flushed when she called her Madam.

This honest and capable housekeeper once made Tu Fu want to take him away.

The car is parked at the door.

This private banquet was of a very high standard, and was personally picked up by a private car from the Governor's Mansion.
It seemed that General Phyllis valued him enough.

"I'm ready."

Tu Fu, who had been dormant for a long time for this day, seemed extraordinarily relaxed. He had already prepared all coping strategies.

Even if all the plans fail, he can still escape with Sophie, which is why he didn't take the little girl Cindy away.

Don't give hope to anyone on this sad island until things don't work out.

It is the cruelest thing to give a vague and illusory hope, and then make this wish come to nothing because of some accidents.

……

General Steven Felice stood motionless in front of the mansion like a towering mountain, waiting for the distinguished guests.

Together with his personal soldiers, he lined up in two rows to welcome the distinguished guest.

Several officials of the colonial military government were there, including the Minister of Finance who submitted the financial statement last time.

They really don't understand why the governor is willing to trust an investor from Baia, and the identity of this person is even more of a mystery.

Since this "Captain Jack" landed in Narnia, the city of paradise, they have spent some time inquiring about this person in the Kingdom of Baia, and the other party's information and identity are complete.

But the standard of secrecy is extremely high, and even the archives of the Baia government only contain basic information.

The mystery of his identity and his superb means of making money made many people pin their hopes on him.

Seeing the steam spouting from the black-painted steam car in the distance, Jack Sparrow came with his partner. Their upper-class dresses in suits, leather shoes, long skirts and embroidered hats were exquisite enough, and their gestures, words and gestures all seemed to grow in Baia The son of a wealthy family in the capital.

"Steven Felice."

"Jack Sparrow."

Seeing the visitor getting out of the car, the governor took the initiative to shake hands. Tu Fu took off his top hat and shook hands with him. When playing the role of a gentleman, especially in the subtleties of things, he must be decent enough.

"Crack, click, click..."

Next to the Governor's Mansion, reporters from local and foreign newspapers took this meaningful photo one after another.

The solemn atmosphere is more like a meeting between the two heads of state.

On the other hand, Sophie raised a smile and went forward to chat with some female relatives in the mansion, pretending to be a noble lady.

Her lively and enthusiastic demeanor, but she knew how to talk with a sense of proportion than the general rules, and her decent performance was immediately welcomed by the female relatives in the mansion.

This invitation was a private banquet for General Phyllis, and only a very small number of people could enter.

From the outside to the inside, when Tu Fu arrived in person, he felt the luxury of the Governor's Mansion. This majestic mansion was built on an area of ​​hundreds of acres, and the magnificent decorations and furniture were all looted from the islands. Come.

It was nighttime when we were dining, and dozens of gas lamps were hung everywhere as if they were free of money. Countless lights made the mansion shine brightly.

In this mansion, even the slaves who worked hard had their own rooms.

And a few kilometers away is the well-known anesthetic street.

The gap between heaven and hell is only one street away.

Noticing that Tu Fu entered the mansion, his eyes turned around several non-human intelligent races.

General Phyllis stroked the mustache on his chin, "Look, these are one of the specialties of the sea. If you like, sir, you can choose any one of them, and it will be my gift to you."

"Why be so polite."

Tu Fu smiled, "I thought I could see a mermaid at your home."

"Oh, mermaid, I've always wanted to raise one. It's a pity that they always live in groups, are cautious and timid, and would rather die than be captured." General Phyllis said regretfully.

"The one I saw before I came to Narnia was not for the faint of heart."

Tu Fu snorted softly.

If I see that stinky, narcissistic mermaid again, sooner or later I will knock off her head and cook a fish head soup.

The story of Captain Jack and the mermaid has long been spread throughout Narnia, just like other stories of Captain Jack's adventures at sea, there are mixed truths and falsehoods.

"It's really rude. If I have time, I will help you pay attention."

Although Steven Ferris didn't care, he still responded one after another, always keeping Tu Fu at a comfortable level during the conversation.

The emotional intelligence of a person who can sit in this position is not much lower.

After the distinguished guests arrived, the food from the back kitchen was brought to the table plate by plate by the servants, and the table was piled up with colorful plates.

This sumptuous banquet is considered complete.

In addition to the usual inland beef, sheep and vegetables, the seafood from the Coral Sea is the most popular on the table. In a platter full of lemons and black grapes, in the middle is a steamed giant lobster.

The fruit acid dripped with lime is eaten into the white shrimp meat, which perfectly neutralizes the fishy smell brought by seafood, and will bring more sweetness in the aftertaste.

The upper class on the island has always eaten like this.

Tu Fu also imitated their way of eating. He just tasted a few pieces and was not yet full. General Felice, who was sitting directly opposite, couldn't help but asked:

"I heard that Mr. Sparrow recently invested heavily in the island."

"It's not worth mentioning. It's just a small business." Tu Fu pretended to be modest, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

"Why be so modest, even Sullivan and Dodge have joined your business, how can it be just a small business. I know the character of these businessmen too well, and I will never interfere in things that are not beneficial. I guess one of them is The profit is not small."

There was shrewdness in the eyes of General Phyllis, "To tell you the truth, the current situation in Narnia is really not good. I believe that Mr. Sparrow has been here for so long and I have seen the poverty suffered by the residents here. I am very distressed. .

As the manager of Mogadishu, seeing the hungry people on the island is really a dereliction of duty for me, the governor. "

As expected of a shrewd person who sat on the governor's seat, his acting skills came as soon as he said it, and he almost cried himself in a few words.

Especially in such a magnificent mansion, the guests are invited to taste the feast of seafood, and they tell the officials and rich people who are used to pleasure the difficulties of the people,

This strong sense of contrast almost didn't make Tu Fu laugh out loud.

Even so, he still echoed the other party's words, "I can't stand it, why don't I donate a few thousand crowns for relief."

"Is what you said true?"

"Even the god of the storm would be moved by your kind heart."

"The presence of Mr. Sparrow has filled Narnia with light."

Several officials present admired Tu Fu's generosity, and the amount of tens of thousands of dollars in a single move was really not small.

"Unfortunately, this is not a small deficit, and it is difficult to fill it with personal strength."

After hearing this, General Phyllis shook his head straight: "Why don't you talk about your business, I heard that as long as you invest money in it, you can make a profit of thirty profit points at a time."

In order to wait for the other party to take the initiative to enter the circle, Tu Fu spent too long waiting for this day.

When Steven Felice finally talked about it, Tu Fu couldn't help but chuckle. He tried his best to restrain his excitement, and looked at Sophie who was enjoying the delicious food.

"Ruth, it's up to you to talk to the general about our business."

"of course."

Ms. Winster said solemnly: "Dear General Phyllis, since it is a commercial secret, please forgive me for not being able to describe your model in detail."

"I totally understand that."

"The essence of our investment is a way of buying low and selling high. We invest in stamps that have just been issued, and then use the difference in currency exchange between countries in the Northern Continent to earn profits."

She imitated Tu Fu's deceitful way, and described the investment plan to the important government officials who came.

In order to appear more professional, a lot of financial terminology and a large amount of data were used to make this investment plan very complicated.

The essence of a Ponzi scheme is to make something simple complicated.

What they could understand before, they couldn't understand at all later. After listening to the lady's description, in order to appear professional enough, many people nodded and took notes over and over again.

There seemed to be some kind of magical power in her words. As long as Sophie overcame the difficulties in her heart, she could speak eloquently. Coupled with the magic power of the con artist sequence, she could deceive people without blinking their eyes.

Some professional vocabulary made the dignitaries at the banquet instinctively make people want to believe her, as if not putting the money in her pocket would be a big loss.

Even if they couldn't understand anything, it didn't prevent them from nodding their heads in agreement as if watching William II's perpetual motion machine.

Tu Fu, on the other hand, savored the delicacies of the Governor's Mansion happily, adding some for her from time to time with the experience of those who have experienced it.

"If Uncle Ethan and Aunt Anfei'er knew that I not only eloped with their daughter, but also cheated here with Sophie, or that they planned a terrifying plan together, they would definitely beat me to death."

Seeing this scene, Tu Fu couldn't help but find it very funny.

In everyone's eyes, the Goddess Ge Da, who has always been gentle and generous, is also a liar.

Zhang Wuji's mother was right when she said that the more beautiful a woman is, the more she will deceive others.

The effect is quite obvious.

Including the host of the banquet, General Phyllis was no exception. He listened obsessively to the content of this investment plan. After hearing the high rate of return, it was impossible not to be moved. He took the initiative to applaud,

"Crack, crack, crack..."

"It's a good plan, please, the purpose of coming here, Mr. Sparrow, I think you must understand.

If I put the total income of the Narnia City Council last quarter into your plan, you will indeed have the ability to return the money to me with a profit. "

Steven Felice looked at Tu Fu with burning eyes.

"exactly.

I can do it for you, or for the people of Narnia. "

Tu Fu shrugged indifferently, "But for this, I also have a condition. For you, it is just a trivial request."

"You said."

"Starting today, all the anesthetic plantations and processing factories on the four islands of Mogadishu will be transferred to my name.

Of course, I will pay a lot of money to buy these lands, and I will pay taxes according to the original tax rate.

What do you think. "

Tu Fu turned the cup and said with a smile, he is like a poisonous snake that has been tolerant for a long time, only showing his fangs when attacking.

General Phyllis stared at the wine glass in front of him for a long time, seeming to be contemplating, but also seemed to be thinking about gains and losses, and finally gritted his teeth and agreed to his request.

"allow."

……

Watching the young rich man drive away with his beautiful female companion with the equivalent of [-] crowns and a lot of valuable jewelry from the Governor's Palace.

Treasures, fragrant cars and beauties are all available.

Only the Minister of Finance was left at the governor's dinner party. Looking at the relaxed expression of his immediate boss, he couldn't help but speak after having been in this position for many years:
"General, you shouldn't listen to such a foreigner, his identity is doubtful, and who knows if he will run away.

What's more, I have carefully calculated that his investment operation, as long as he has very little cash, he can fully support this so-called investment by constantly pulling people in. You must inform you, that is all the money of the Governor's Mansion. "

The Minister of Finance said in a serious tone, "If you lose this money, everyone will be finished."

"I know it all."

General Phyllis's understated tone seemed to be a sure win, "But I don't care. Don't forget that there is also the money that Dodge and Sullivan invested in. If you count the 30% profit of the principal, you will make it back." gone."

The Minister of Finance suddenly realized: "You mean..."

"A dozen or so pirate groups, including the Blue Warriors, will land on the four islands of Mogadishu to plunder today."

General Steven Felice's eyes were burning, and he pressed the wine glass heavily on the table,

"Naval negligence caused unrest, Baier merchant Jack Sparrow was plundered by pirates,
Died unexpectedly. "
