The next day, Ethan worriedly took Angelina and a lot of luggage to Port Velen.

Port Velen is a subsidiary city of Marlow City. It is very close to Marlow City, with a straight line distance of only more than 30 miles.

Although it is called Hong Kong, it is a real city.

In terms of area, it is much larger than Maruo City, and its population is several times that of Maruo City.

However, because there are no tall city walls for protection, there are not enough security personnel.

Bandits are rampant in Port Velen and the public security is chaotic. Nobles do not want to live here.

But also because there are less nobility, less oppression, and less hierarchy, business here is extremely prosperous, and all walks of life are booming here, especially the shipbuilding industry.

With the development of maritime transportation and driven by profits, the shipbuilding industry in Port Velen has advanced by leaps and bounds, and has gradually become the world's top presence.

With the development of the shipbuilding industry, ships are constantly improving, getting bigger, stronger, and faster, which has accelerated the development of maritime transportation.

Maruo City is surrounded by plains and is rich in products. With sea transportation and no need to pay tolls, it can be sold all over the world at low prices.

At the same time, the required items were purchased from all over the world. Gradually, this place became a large logistics distribution center.

You can imagine how much benefit this has.

Therefore, anyone with some strength in Maruo City must get a share of the pie here.

Although the Lawson family is only a viscount family, they relied on their long-term strategic vision to make arrangements here early.

Nowadays, Port Velen not only has its own port, large warehouses, private security forces, but also its own private fleet and even a large share of shipyards.

Whenever a new type of ship is produced, the Lawson family is always the first to get it.

Over the years, the Lawson family has earned a huge amount of wealth from Port Velen.

Relying on this wealth, it continued to recruit troops and cultivate talents, and it has become the second largest force in Maro City, second only to the Duke Stein family.

At this time, when Ethan spent half a day arriving at the Lawson family's own port, he was also shocked.

More than a dozen 50-meter-high (including pole height) and more than 60-meter-long canvas wind-powered ships are neatly arranged on the port berth. They are very close to the medium-sized cargo ships of the previous life.

Hundreds of people, like ants, were running back and forth between the dock and the ship, carrying all kinds of goods, making it a busy scene.

This made Ethan realize the terrifying strength of the Lawson family and his own insignificance.

Just as Ethan was reflecting on his attitude towards the Lawson family, a horse team came towards them.

The leader was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a captain's hat, a cartoon W-shaped beard, and a blue button-down aristocratic uniform. He dismounted with a smile.

The visitor took off his hat and bowed.

"Dear Knight Ethan, we are finally waiting for you! I am Sabery Lawson, the captain of your voyage."

"It's an honor to meet you, Captain Saberi." Ethan returned the gesture.

"If you don't mind, let's get on the boat and talk about it." Saberi said with a smile: "Please don't mind if I hurry. As you know, our family values ​​efficiency."

"This is the second time I've heard similar words." Ethan also smiled: "I like this style of behavior very much."

"Then please come with me!" Saberi made a gesture of invitation and said at the same time: "Oh! By the way, someone will carry those luggage and just put them on the carriage."

Ethan nodded, took Angelina's hand, and followed Saberi onto a giant cargo ship called the "Popeye".

After boarding the long sloping ladder and walking through the messy deck, we arrived at the captain's cabin on the poop.

After Saberi asked the two of them to sit down, he personally made a cup of dark tea for each of them, and then began to introduce to them:

"This is coffee, obtained from the Dark Iron Dwarf Kingdom. Those dwarves are always dealing with iron items, and they always take a sip of coffee on their way to get the iron items.

Therefore, coffee is also nicknamed latte by them.

Please try it, you two. It's very good. "

After hearing this, Angelina thought it was very interesting and wanted to try it.

But Ethan held her hand, looked at Saberi's cunning eyes, and said with a smile: "Sir Saberi, you are so cunning. I hope you can take the sugar cube that was hidden behind you as soon as you entered the door. come out.

This way, my fiancée won’t make a fool of herself. "

"Haha!" Saberi showed a surprised expression, then laughed, and at the same time took out the sugar cube he had just hidden from the desk behind him: "Ethan Knight, you are so surprising.

You actually know coffee!

You know, when I brought the coffee back to Marlow City, those old guys said that I had poor vision and chose such a product, so that this thing could not be promoted at all.

This also leads to many people not knowing about it at all.

But not only do you know it, you actually know how to add sugar cubes. This is a method I came up with after thinking about it for a long time.

How you know that is incredible. "

Ethan was not in a hurry to reply, but used tweezers to add two sugar cubes to Angelina's cup of coffee, and helped her shake it with a small copper spoon.

"Try it, I can't say it tastes good. But after drinking it a few times, it still tastes good."

Angelina took a sip and shook her head slightly: "It's really ordinary, but the bitter and sweet taste is still unique."

"Haha!" Saberi said confidently: "If you drink it a few more times, you will be unable to leave it, I promise you."

"Indeed!" Ethan also nodded in agreement.

"Oh, dear Knight Ethan!" Saberi leaned on the desk, turned his head and said to Ethan: "You haven't answered my question yet, I hope you can satisfy my curiosity."

"I'm curious too!" Angelina also agreed.

"Well..." Ethan smiled mysteriously: "Because I drank it, and I made a fool of myself at that time."

As he said, Ethan made a vomiting gesture, which made the two laugh.

"Knight Ethan, you are such an interesting person, and you are also a person with broad knowledge." Saberi laughed heartily: "It's just a pity that this coffee can't be promoted. I have a lot of goods in my hands. I am almost worried.

If the old guys in Maro City are as open-minded as Knight Ethan, it would be great!"

Ethan thought for a while and asked: "Do you have a lot of goods?"

"Yes!" Speaking of goods, Saberi turned into a bitter face: "When I went to the Dark Iron Dwarf Kingdom to trade last year, those Dark Iron Dwarves strongly recommended that I try their coffee. I tried it a few times and became addicted.

I think I will be on If I were addicted, then others would be too. Wouldn't this become a long-term big business?

So I bought a whole ship of goods in one go.

As a result, the old guys in the family looked down on this thing after trying it and were determined not to promote it.

This thing was stuck in my hands. Not only did I spend all my savings, but even my future property would be lost in this business.

For more than a year, I dared not go anywhere, even the brothel I had to go to every time I docked.

Every time I wanted to vent, I could only rely on my own efforts. I was so miserable! "

Speaking of this, Saberi sighed to the sky, showing a look of who was more miserable than me.

That look was both funny and humorous, but there was no trace of sadness.

And Ethan saw Saberi's optimism, humor, and a huge business opportunity. He smiled slightly and prepared to join this shipping boom.
