Pirate: The Strongest Pirate Merchant
Chapter 21: The Magical Black Market!
Lin En brought Mickey and Bob into the room.
He closed the door.
"Sit wherever you like."
Lin En pointed to the sofa in the room.
Mickey and Bob sat down separately.
Lin En took out a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet in the room. At the same time, he said without looking back: "The purpose of you leaving your hometown and coming here is to make a lot of money, right?"
"Uh-huh."
Mickey and Bob both nodded in acknowledgement.
Lin En poured himself a glass of red wine and asked the two of them calmly: "So, how do you feel? I mean the experience of doing business?"
"It's okay, it's just a little harder than expected."
"It's bad, and I mean terrible, the taxes are high here, and also, wallets are stolen by thieves and beaten up by gangsters."
Mickey and Bob said at the same time.
However, while Mickey wanted to hide their predicament, Bob was much more honest.
Although Mickey kept pulling Bob, hoping that he would not be embarrassed, Bob still complained.
Lin En asked again: "Have you ever learned about Logue town before you came to it?"
Mickey and Bob shook their heads at the same time.
They only know that this is the entrance to the Grand Line.
A large amount of goods are transported from here to the Grand Line every day.
Therefore, they stole all their family's savings and purchased goods from their hometown, hoping to come here to make a fortune.
Unexpectedly, I didn’t make the first pot of gold, but suffered a lot.
"The most important thing in doing business is not only what the customer needs, the transportation during transportation, but also the risks during transportation, as well as local laws, policies, and some unwritten rules, etc."
"You need to know a lot, and what I just said is just the basics."
“Beyond that, you need relationships and background.”
"Do you understand what I said?"
Lin En's words were not too complicated, but they did open the door for Mickey and Bob to become businessmen.
"Mitch is flexible and Bob is honest. I believe you will succeed in the future."
Lin En put down his wine glass, walked up to Mickey and Bob, pressed their shoulders, and said, "If you want to get into the industry quickly, you might as well follow me, and I will provide you with connections and background."
"Really?!"
Mickey and Bob asked excitedly.
Lin En said: "Of course, but before that, you need to go to a place and help me a little. Are you willing?"
Mickey and Bob nodded simultaneously.
…
Mickey and Lin En found a bar without a sign on a street adjacent to the square.
This pub is not in a good location and not many people usually come here.
However, if the guests who come here do not understand the codes and rules of this bar, they will not be welcomed.
Wearing a mask, Mickey walked into the bar and said to the bartender: "I want three cold beers with sugar."
The bartender glanced at Mickey and Bob, then winked at the person at the door.
The man at the door went outside to look at the door.
Come with me.
If Mickey's password matches, it's 'guest'.
Moreover, Mickey and Bob are still wearing masks, so they must have been here before.
The bartender takes Mickey and Bob to the cellar and opens the cellar door.
The bartender said, "Please."
Every city has its own 'underground order', and Logue town is no exception.
If the gangs control the streets and docks, and the Marines control the sea, then these underground forces are conducting dirty and dirty transactions in places that are completely out of reach of ordinary people.
However, the so-called ‘dark side’ has no impact on Lin En.
Lin En sent Mickey and Bob to customize the 'service' this time. He needed a group of people to 'act' as pirates and steal his goods.
…
Below this bar is a place similar to a black market.
Everything is for sale here.
Including human body organs, as well as intelligence.
It was both Mickey's and Bob's first time here, so they were both nervous and scared.
Below the cellar, there is a long staircase that winds all the way to the ground.
The bartender walked ahead with a torch.
Mickey and Bob followed the bartender for nearly five minutes before stopping.
Immediately, what came into view was a ‘bazaar’.
The bartender said: "Gentlemen, please help yourself."
The bartender then left.
Mickey and Bob walked to the market. In the market, both buyers and sellers wore masks on their faces.
The two of them walked around the market casually, and their eyes were quickly attracted by the reward orders one after another.
The time is marked on the reward order.
Such as the bounty on red-haired Shanks.
The red-haired Shanks has now made a name for himself on the sea.
Shanks' bounty will naturally not be low.
And it’s not just Marine who is against the pirates.
There are also specialized bounty hunters who hunt pirates as a source of income.
The bounty on Shanks is extremely high, and there may be some hot-headed bounty hunters who will buy his whereabouts.
Mickey muttered: "Five million Baileys, this information is really not cheap."
Afterwards, Mickey and Bob continued to browse the stalls.
The black market is a magical place.
The information sold here is extremely authentic and comes from a very 'weird' source.
Some information, even from the World Government's CIPHER-POL, has not yet been obtained.
Therefore, there may also be spies lurking in the black market.
Mickey and Bob came to a stall and asked, "I want to sell a piece of news. Can you help me value it?"
The stall owner replied: "Write it down."
Mickey picked up a pen and paper and wrote the name of the goods and the value of the goods on the paper.
Two hundred tons of flour and three hundred 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 value of this batch of goods is not low!
Especially medicines.
The world is not peaceful now. Whether it is ordinary people or pirates sailing the sea, the demand for medicines is not low.
After silently calculating the price, the stall owner said, "10 million Baileys."
The success rate of robbing cargo ships is extremely high.
Of course, you have to leave the waters under the jurisdiction of Logue town Marine.
The pirates saw this big fish and were willing to pay for relevant information.
10 million Baileys!
Mickey was shocked.
However, he still followed Lin En's instructions and words.
Mickey said: "For 20 million Baileys, I risk being hunted down."
The stall owner shook his head, "Sorry, we can only offer 10 million beli."
Mickey pretended to be anxious, "15 million Baileys."
The stall owner still refused to let go and said: "10 million Baileys, if you don't want to sell, please leave immediately."
Seeing that the other party had no intention of compromising, Mickey gritted his teeth and said in a reluctant tone: "Okay, just ten million Baileys, I want cash!"
The stall owner then greeted the people behind him.
Soon, someone brought the box.
In the box lay ten million beli.
Brand new banknotes smell like ink.
The stall owner said: "Please write down the time of departure."
"Let me check the money first." Mickey took the box eagerly and started counting the money.
The stall owner and the people next to him smiled disapprovingly.
This kind of thing is not uncommon in Logue town.
There are often employees of businessmen, or down-and-out businessmen, who make money by selling their employers and acquaintances' time away from Hong Kong.
In their eyes, Mickey and Bob only betrayed their employers for money.
After Mickey and Bob finished counting, they wrote the time and the ship's hull number on the paper.
After Mickey finished writing, he urged: "Okay, give me the money quickly."
The stall owner then handed the money to Mickey.
They are not afraid of Mickey and Bob's tricks.
When Mickey and Bob take the money, they have someone following them.
At the same time, people will be sent to confirm the accuracy of the information.
If Mickey and Bob cheated on them, not only would they get their money back, they would kill both of them.
