v2 Chapter 236： Malcolms Dilemma (1/2)
The cruelty of business competition is no less than a real war.
Malcolm knew exactly where Karina's weakness was. This time, she changed her aggressive behavior and started to give up. The bait he threw was beyond the reach of the business woman.
If Karina wants to develop, she cannot rely on a single ship of Jackdaw, whether it is to establish a second-hand cargo trading office or to trade privately with a pirate ship belonging to the Black Merchants Union, the purpose is to deal with Marco Mu's blockade against her, so this time a ready opportunity is in front of her, and she has no reason to step back.
In fact, if you give Karina another half a year, she can solve most of the troubles now and use her learning ability to turn a profit into a win, but Malcolm obviously will not give her this time.
”How much money do you still have?” Zhang Heng asked.
”At least 700 gold coins are needed to make the business run again, but I don't know what it means to continue. Our losses are very great. The previous business was not very profitable, but now ... every day, Every hour, every minute, we are losing money. ”Karina's voice rarely revealed a trace of depression and exhaustion.
Recently, it was also the most difficult time for her business on the island. What is more frightening is that although she is running around all day, she ca n’t see the hope of turning a profit. Karina ’s problems are in all aspects Because the expansion speed is too fast, talent reserves, capital reserves can not keep up, the original market can not accommodate so many shipments, customs increases, local businessmen's resistance, these are not resolved in a short time.
”I promised you to add 800 additional gold coins in the future, and now I can give it to you. In addition, I can lend you another 200 gold coins.” Zhang Hengdao, this time after the sea, Jackdaw returned home with a full load, Zhang Heng After a rough calculation, as a captain and the first batch of veterans, he could probably get an income of almost 1,200 gold coins, which is undoubtedly a substantial sum of money.
Even if he does n’t wash his hands and buy two farms or plantations on the island, he can still live comfortably, but considering that Roger Wood will bring the fleet to recover Nassau in a few years, Zhang Heng and Do not want to pin your life and death on the kindness of others.
Roger Wood, the first governor of Nassau in history, eventually pardoned most of the pirates on the island after leading the fleet to occupy Nassau. However, in the current situation of Zhang Heng, once the British army is on the island, it is difficult for him to die. He has now killed two naval battleships Scarborough. His pirate ship Jackdaw was also taken from the navy, and he also participated in the bombardment of Charleston before Queen Anne's Revenge. British commander Walden of the Caribbean Sea was also killed.
Now that Blackbeard Tickey is missing, Black Prince Sam is killed and Honig retires, Zhang Heng and the Jackdaw that he led have faintly become the most powerful pirate on the island.
If Nassau was really taken down by Roger Wood, considering that Nassau's development requires a lot of young labor, others may still be able to save their lives, but Zhang Heng must be the first to be cleaned up, as long as Luo Jay Wood is not stupid, he will definitely use his head to kill chickens and tamarins.
Therefore, although Zhang Heng has completed the main task, he ca n’t take a vacation on this occasion, and now he is no longer alone. As the captain of the Jackdaw, everyone under him is pointing at him to eat. He has to take care of Annie and Karin. Na would have no suspense without his support and Malcolm's competition.
At this point, it is already difficult for him to survive alone or retreat from the rapids.
”But in return, my share will be increased by 10%.” Zhang Hengton continued for a moment.
