Renault said with a smile on his face:
"Mr. Gaelic, I can''t think of a better condition. Can you give me a suggestion?"
"Mr. Renault, we Maxwell Merchants Association have the best spinning and weaving technology in Xinghai mainland. These three merchant ships are full of high-quality linen which are popular in the whole mainland, and the price is three times that of ordinary linen."
"In the process of being chased by pirates before, we were forced to throw away about 30% of the cloth. Among the rest, we are willing to give you half, no, three-quarters of the cloth. This is a fortune worth at least 1200 jinnals. Thank you for your help."
After a pause, he said:
"if you are willing to spend some time, you can send someone to salvage the discarded cloth. They are all packed in wooden boxes. As long as you can salvage them, they are all your property..."
Renault looks at his younger brother Goodall:
"Goodall, tell me, what''s the total sales volume of our Haichao chamber of Commerce in Qianhu kingdom?"
Goodall quickly said a series of figures:
"Mr President, in the Trade Fair held in Copernicus, we sold a total of 12000 guineas worth of goods."
"In the arms trade with Duke Byron, we have signed two orders with a total value of 13300 guineas."
"In addition, we have also signed two arms and equipment procurement contracts with the Duke of" thunder Hawk "Castro. According to the first contract, we must deliver a batch of weapons and equipment worth 15000 jinnals within one month."
"The Duke also promised that as long as the quality of the weapons was satisfactory to him, the follow-up contract amount would be at least 10 times that, that is to say, the total amount would not be less than 150000 guineas, and could reach 250000 guineas at most..."
"Although the other contract is only an intentional contract, the chamber of Commerce needs to hold an exhibition in leiyunbao within one month to demonstrate the performance of the balloon to the Duke."
"But the Duke''s granddaughter, miss allietti, privately revealed to us that as long as the performance of the balloon can reach half of what we described, the order will definitely fall into the hands of our chamber of Commerce, and the total amount will not be less than 20000 guineas."
"What''s more, this is also the first batch of orders, and there will be additional orders in the future. The better the usage is, the larger the total amount will be..."
"In general, the total value of the signed orders is 40000 jinnals, and the amount of intention orders fluctuates between 170000 and 270000 jinnals..."
In fact, in the weapons and equipment contract signed by Renault and the Duke of Castro, whether the Haichao chamber of commerce can get a follow-up large order is not based on the condition that "the quality of weapons is satisfactory to the Duke". The standard weapons produced by Haichao can''t be found in any other world, so the Duke can''t be dissatisfied.
The real condition is to kill the Earl of Kashgar.
The Earl of Kashgar sent people to attack Renault and frequently blocked the Duke. It was in the interests of both sides to deal with this guy. However, as the commander-in-chief of the coalition, it was not convenient for the Duke to attack Renault, so he had to fake Renault.
Miss allietti personally promised that the date of the death of the Earl of Kashgar was the time when the follow-up order arrived. This condition could not be stated clearly, let alone written on paper, but could only be promised privately.
It was only in order not to arouse suspicion that Renault immediately killed the Earl of Kashgar, which spared each other''s life.
Because the Earl of Kashgar is not the only one behind the scenes, he also has an accomplice. If the Earl dies the day after the attack, it is easy for others to suspect Renault.
Renault not only has enough strength, but also has enough motivation, which is of course the most suspect.
With Goodall''s narration, geridge''s eyes widened.
In particular, Goodall''s personal names, such as "Duke Byron", "Duke Castro" and "the prince''s granddaughter, miss aleeti", made him feel frightened and sweat oozing from his forehead.
What does Duke mean?
This is not a Chinese cabbage, but a title next only to the prince, which is absolutely worthy of respect.
There are only nine Dukes in the whole Qianhu Kingdom, and the Haichao chamber of commerce is related to two of them. Obviously, this chamber of Commerce has a very close relationship with the upper class of Qianhu kingdom.
When Goodall said "40000 jinnals" and "170000-270000 jinnals", geridge''s mouth was completely closed, his shoulder was too short to help, and his vest was soaked.
The implication of Mr. Goodall''s words is very obvious: the business of our Haichao chamber of commerce is often tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of jinnals. Just over 1000 jinnals, do you want to satisfy us?
Is there any mistake? Is your attitude of sending beggars deliberately humiliating us?
What''s more, he was quite puzzled that the business of Haichao chamber of Commerce was so big, why he had never heard of it before?Is this Mr. good''s boasting?
The next moment, he vetoed this speculation. The chamber of Commerce relied on two sailboats to easily defeat the pirates with four sailboats in less than an hour. With such strong strength, why lie?
Well, the only answer is that this is a new and rising chamber of Commerce.
Geridge''s face was blue and red, and he was going to bow.
He did not dare not bow his head. The tide chamber of commerce is rich and powerful, and the force is still so powerful. If he continues to chatter, he will end up feeding fish in the sea.
Who knows how many people to kill on the vast sea?
He knew very well that the young man in front of him was in charge of the life and death of all the people nearby. The best way to face this kind of character was to pretend to be a counsellor.
So geridge changed his face decisively, and his original arrogance disappeared in an instant. He said in a pleading tone:
"Mr. Renault, I''m just a director of the chamber of Commerce. A little man like me has no authority to decide what to do with the merchant ship. If you take the merchant ship away by force, my family will never survive..."
"Merciful sir, I beg you to spare us poor people. You can take all the cargo from the merchant ship. We have more than 500 jinnals with us. You can also take them away..."
Renault looked impatiently at the chattering Guy Ritchie and turned to Goodall:
"Goodall, how much are the three merchant ships worth?"
As soon as this remark came out, Gaelic immediately closed his mouth tightly. He had noticed the impatience in Renault''s tone. How dare he say it again? He had to put on a pathetic appearance, hoping that the other side would not be too hard.
Goodall looked at the merchant ships in the distance carefully and said respectfully:
"Sir, these three sailboats are all standard 1000 ton Galen sailboats. As far as I know, the value of brand-new sailboats is generally between 2200 and 2500 jinnals, and these boats are about 50% new..."
"According to the discount of 50%, and then take the middle value, the value of each sailboat is about 1175 jinnals, and the total price of three sailboats is 3500 jinnals..."
Speaking of this, Goodall stares at Gallic and says with no expression:
"Mr. Gallic, our Haichao chamber of commerce is a fair trade chamber of Commerce. Do you have any objection to my valuation?"
With a quick smile on his face, Gaelic said with admiration:
"Mr. good, you have excellent eyesight and accurate appraisal. You are a great businessman..."
But in his heart, he was yelling:
MMP, you are paralyzed, you are paralyzed
This is a 1000 ton sailing boat specially made by Maxwell''s business association. It is made of high-quality shipbuilding wood. The cost of each boat is 3500 jinnals. How can you calculate more than 2000 jinnals for the labor and capital.
Too much
The life span of a sailboat is only 20 years, but it''s a custom sailboat. It''s no problem to use it for 30 years. These sailboats have only been launched for more than 3 years, and they are very attentive in maintenance. It''s absolutely 90% new, but you can''t believe that it''s 50% new.
It''s so dark
Renault nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Mr. Gaelic, we are not robbers. We will follow the rules. According to the tradition of maritime rescue, we can take half of the goods."
"According to the price you just gave, the value of this part of the goods is 1200 jinnals. I choose to use it to offset part of the payment for the sailboat, so I only need to pay 2300 jinnals to get three ships."
He waved to Goodall:
"goody, go get 2300 guineas and draw up a deal contract..."
Gaelic took a careful look at Renault. He saw your calm face and affirmative tone. He didn''t ask if he agreed to the deal.
Obviously, the other side has made up its mind and has no room for bargaining, otherwise it will definitely annoy the other side.
The only good news is that the other party doesn''t seem to be a very violent person, so they should not worry about their own lives.
Gaelic said with a sad face:
"Mr. Renault, this is a very reasonable deal, and I am extremely satisfied with it..."
He began to scold again in his heart:
go to your paralysis and say that he is not a robber. He is a sailboat with a total value of 9500 jinnals, and he wants to buy 3500 jinnals by force. What''s the difference between NIMA and a robber?
However, at this time, a tender voice sounded:
"Mr. Renault, if we Maxwell family present these three merchant ships to you, can we get some tickets from you?"
The owner of the voice was a small attendant behind him. He had been drooping his head before. When he spoke, he raised his head and looked at Renault, revealing a green face.This is a teenager under the age of 15.
His golden hair was a bit disordered by the sea breeze, his nose was high, his eyes were deep, his cheeks were dotted with freckles, and he was dressed in a servant style linen dress.
But from the delicate hands and white face, this is obviously a noble young master.
The meaning of his words also proves one point.
There is no doubt that this young man is a member of the Maxwell family and the real principal of the merchant shipping team.
From his behavior, Renault can be sure that he must be a bold and confident noble youth, and he has a very high status in the Maxwell family.
The reason is very simple. Do you dare to disguise yourself as a servant and set foot on a ship of unknown origin?
Can ordinary noble youth freely give away the valuable property?
Instead of answering the boy''s question, Renault asked with interest:
"don''t you want to introduce yourself?"
