Pirate: The Strongest Pirate Merchant
Chapter 18: Give Me A Face!
The next morning, after Lin En had breakfast, he said goodbye to the Koshiro family.
Dorag, Ivankov and others left last night.
Later, Lin En went to say goodbye to Kozaburo.
Kozaburo looked impatient and asked Lin En to leave quickly.
…
start sailing.
The cargo ship sets sail again.
This time, Lin En's goal is Logue town.
Dorag requires a relatively large quantity of goods.
Among them, 200 tons of flour and 300 tons of rice.
Five hundred boxes of anti-inflammatory drugs and 20,000 packs of bandages.
There are also dried meat, disinfectant, medical equipment, etc.
The total amount of materials needed is not a small amount.
If you go to a nearby town to purchase, you will definitely not be able to purchase enough in a short period of time.
Therefore, Lin En can only go to places where supplies are 'concentrated'.
…
Logue town is the intersection of the Grand Line.
A large number of merchant ships dock here every day.
All cargo destined for the Grand Line will be concentrated at the terminal.
There will be specialized people to inspect the goods, similar to inspection and quarantine.
At the same time, there are tax officials to collect taxes, and gangsters will also come and collect certain fees.
When Lin En's cargo ship arrived at the port, two young businessmen were having a conflict with a group of men in black suits on the pier.
Although it was a conflict, the two young businessmen were obviously beaten unilaterally.
However, the two young men were quite stubborn and still gritted their teeth and carried on.
At the same time, there were many people watching, including businessmen, workers, and tourists.
Although they are both businessmen, they are just watching with cold eyes at this time, and no one goes up to help.
Everyone sweeps the snow in front of their own door, and don't worry about the frost on other people's tiles.
Businessmen themselves are afraid of trouble and do not dare to cause trouble, so they ignore matters that do not concern themselves.
Latu joked: "Young people are still too young."
Weiss held a cigarette in his mouth and chuckled: "According to the boss, these guys have never experienced severe beatings from society."
These men in suits belong to local gangs, and they charge a certain amount of cargo management fees and dock usage fees.
This fee is naturally illegal, but it is a local rule and can be understood as an underground order.
There was a Marine passing by the pier.
Two young businessmen immediately called for help.
"Save us."
"Sailor, save us!"
Hearing the cry for help, the sailors glanced at the gangsters who took action, and left as if they didn't see them.
They have seen too many such things, and the local gangsters have a good relationship with them.
There is no need for unnecessary conflicts over such a trivial matter.
What's more, sometimes they also need help from gangsters.
Lin En watched for a while and saw that the two of them had been beaten until they vomited blood, and they were curled up like shrimps that were about to die.
"Give me some face, I paid this money for them, don't embarrass them anymore."
Lin En shouted from the boat to the people on the dock.
The gangsters who were beating up two young businessmen all nodded respectfully when they saw Lin En.
They knew Lin En.
I know that Lin En is a strong man, not an ordinary businessman, and he has a good relationship with their boss.
"Lin En."
"It's Lin En here."
"Hey, Lin En, how are you doing lately?"
When the merchants on the dock saw Lin En coming, they all took the initiative to say hello to Lin En.
Compared with just watching indifferently, they became enthusiastic and proactive.
Lin En has accumulated a lot of fame over the years, and because of Lin En's "integrity", Lin En's reputation is quite good.
In addition, Lin En is well-versed in Marine and gangsters, and is familiar with both black and white.
Therefore, businessmen are willing to do business with Lin En.
At this time, a man wearing a black suit, boots, a tall hat, and a mustache came closer and asked: "Lin En, are there any big deals this time? If so, be sure to contact me. "
This gentleman-looking man, named Colin, is a local businessman in Logue town with a gang background.
At least one-third of the goods at Logue Town's dock belong to him.
Although Colin is rich, he stays at the dock every day.
The goods that come in and out every day are all under Colin's control.
Including ‘dangerous goods’ that cannot see light.
Seeing Colin coming, the businessmen who wanted to continue chatting with Lin En left separately.
For businessmen, gangsters, marines, and tax collectors are all painful existences.
Lin En showed no fear and replied: "Mr. Colin, even if you don't ask, I still have a big business to ask you."
Colin is Lin En's largest supplier, and he is the fastest way to purchase bulk goods.
"Hahaha……"
Colin patted Lin En on the shoulder and said loudly: "Let's have lunch first and talk while eating."
…
Logue town Harold restaurant.
In the VIP box of the restaurant, Lin En and Colin were sitting face to face.
At this time, the waiter had already served the dishes one after another.
As the door closed, Colin took the initiative to pour Lin En a glass of red wine.
Colin asked directly: "Lin En, what did you mean by big business just now?"
Lin En lowered his voice and said: "Revolutionary Army."
"They're coming to East Blue?!"
Colin's first reaction was surprise, but he didn't look scared.
As a local leader in Logue town, Colin has seen the world.
On the day Roger, the Pirate King, was killed, Colin was also at the execution ground.
Lin En said: "Well, I met him by chance."
Colin asked: "You want to do business with them?"
Lin En said: "Of course, they are high-quality customers and I can't refuse them."
Wherever the revolutionary army goes, riots are bound to occur.
During the riot, there will naturally be casualties.
For businessmen, this is naturally a good opportunity to make money.
Whether you are selling food, bandages, or coffins, you can make a fortune from it.
Colin lit a cigar and said: "Even if I am willing to sell you supplies, it will be difficult for you to transport them out of the dock. Don't forget, there are not only Marines here, but also those guys."
Those guys are the spies of the World government, including CIPHER-POL agents.
Although Lin En did not show Colin the list, Colin is also a veteran.
The materials needed by the revolutionary army must be very 'sensitive' commodities.
The food was a little better.
The key is medicine.
A one-time large-scale purchase of drugs cannot escape the eyes of the world government.
Lin En said confidently: "I will use smuggling to transport it to the Leslie area. I heard that there was a riot there and many people were killed and injured."
Colin muttered: "Smuggling?"
He didn't expect that Lin En would use this method to transport supplies.
However, Lin En has a good relationship with Marine.
Even if Marine discovers it, that should be able to justify it.
What's more, Marine's collusion with pirates is no secret.
This is not the first time Lin En has engaged in smuggling business.
But……
"Although the supplies have been shipped out, you can't really trade with the Revolutionary Army in the Leslie area. With so much supplies, you will definitely be targeted."
Colin was still worried.
As long as the matter involves the revolutionary army, the World Government will investigate.
Colin is just a local leader in Logue town and cannot fight against the World government.
If the world government really wanted to deal with him, it would be easier than squeezing an ant to death.
Lin En said: "Of course I have a way. Don't worry, Mr. Colin, nothing will happen."
Colin thought for a moment, then took a deep drag on his cigarette, "The risk is too high this time."
Lin En smiled and changed the price directly on the purchase list.
The purchase price has tripled from the market price.
Capitalists are afraid of no profit or too little profit, just like nature is afraid of a vacuum.
Once there are appropriate profits, capital becomes bold.
If there is a 50% profit, he will take risks;
For a 100% profit, he would dare to trample all human laws; for a 300% profit, he would dare to commit any crime and even risk hanging.
After Colin saw the price, he still did not agree immediately. Instead, he stared into Lin En's eyes and said, "At this price, you shouldn't have much profit left."
Colin has the habit of reading newspapers every day.
Although the Revolutionary Army has a lot of pages, the Revolutionary Army has not yet formed a real climate.
Therefore, the revolutionary army is not financially sufficient.
Lin En does business with the revolutionary army, and the price is not much higher.
How dare you do business with such little profit?
Colin was rapidly calculating risks and profits in his mind.
Lin En seemed to have seen through all this, and he said calmly: "Mr. Colin, if it weren't for us, they might not be able to spend the money they have. So, we will make more in the future, and now this is just the beginning of cooperation."
The revolutionary army is a rebel and a rebel party in front of the world government and all the participating countries in the world.
Even if the revolutionary army robs money, it is impossible to purchase materials directly, and it must go through the intermediary of merchants.
Colin was thoughtful. He believed in Lin En's vision. Since he met Lin En, he has never done any losing business.
Colin immediately crossed out the price and re-wrote a price, "In the future? That's a risk worth taking. However, I will also be involved in future business."
If the revolutionary army really succeeds, it will need more supplies in the future.
This is a big deal, and Colin doesn't want to miss this opportunity.
As for revolution, changing the world? He doesn't care about that.
Businessmen know no borders.
Bailey is the most fragrant!
Therefore, Colin chose to cooperate with Lin En, and in terms of price, Colin also changed.
He only doubled the price and still left a lot of profit margin for Lin En.
Lin En smiled and extended his hand, "It's a pleasure to cooperate."
