Chapter 114 (1/2)
The 114th chapter “Road to the capital”
By the end, Sparrow sighs: “Miss Rolynn is currently keeping everything together in the ‘Fertile Haven Port’ Overall, she only has 1000 gold coins left in hand According to the consumption scale of 32 shi+ps – maintenance, personnel expense, and weapons – the expected expense is close to a thousand gold per month Of course, this number is already compressed to the lowest limit Once we set sail, we can expect the expense to be even bigger…”
Du Wei took in a deep breath: “So, not only did you not bringme to fork over money instead?”
“Yes” Sparrow also had a bitter face The guy originally swore his allegiance to Du Wei with the intent of leading a fleet, but now it sees really are Before the fleet even gets out to sea, it would seeo bankrupt
“If there is no new funding within a o bankrupt?” Du Wei questioned
“In fact, there are a lot of people co already When they were still pirates, they could eat meat and drink wine; but now, they can only eat cereal and drink the cheapest ale Everyone is so poor that they cannot even seek out the cheapest whore for relief If not for Miss Rolynn and Miss Joanna suppressing them, I fear that the sailors would have already rioted a few times” Sparrow reluctantly said this
Du Wei rubbed his brow and admitted to hih there is a powerful master like Joanna and an experienced pirate like Sparrow to keep things running smoothly, he did not expect the rate of consu for such a fleet If not for the small fortune he landed himself with, Du Wei feared that he really couldn’t afford to keep such a fleet running!
“Okay” Du Wei taps his fingers on the table: “The fleet may consume a little bit s aren’t up and running yet With no income, of course they can’t afford to ure out a way tomachine”
Du Wei then sent captain Sparrow to find Marde, this way he can take out 10,000 gold coins fro , he actually still earned a profit Although the fleets expense is quite high, but it was still acquired without spending a single penny Since there are sopirates is out of the question The only solution is to rely on ocean trading
Du Wei immediately recalled Beinlich from the snoolfto his memory, Beinlich complained to hi with the price despite the fact that they risked their life to procure the materials For example: a low leveled old in a town at the forest edge, but once it reaches the south, the price would increase by 10 tih the e the frozen forest, but it can definitely stop the flow of trade For this reason, the mercenaries that risked their life often could not openly sell their spoils The only option left for theoods at a cheap price to those with strong backings or a well-connected businessman
Usually, those merchants are backed by sooods at a low price, they would go through soalized goods at 10, or sometimes even 100 times the profit
If others can do this, he can naturally do it too!
And now that he has a fleet, he can just send it to a port in the north Once he does, he would of course earn a lot
Even though heHousehold, but the problem lies in the fact that he is still not an adult yet With no proper title, how can he so hastily step into the northern business circle If he doesn’t do it right, hesuch a large amount of materials is no easy matter First he must build up some connections with the local officials, and then he oods For a kid like him, it’s fine to make a ruckus here and there at home, but if he really wants to start a business like this, it won’t succeed unless soreat i it through, a strange idea suddenly popped into his head
If—if I was really the heir to the faood
When this idea came up, even Du Wei was surprise
How could he think like this? Hadn’t he hated the life of bearing so much responsible and deliberately kept his silence? This way he would be misunderstood by everyone and be able to live a carefree life in the Roland Plains If he really did become the heir to the fa for hier have the life he wanted
Thinking it over, Du Wei sighed and dropped the subject The main priority is to solve the problem at hand
Du Wei hesitated for a n the task to his new subordinate George Bush because he really had no other effective confidant under hie Bush over, Du Wei confessed his plan and asked him to find Beinlich of the Snow Wolf Mercenary and pass on a handwritten letter by Du Wei
Regardless of how, Du Wei first want to pull in the Snow Wolf Mercenary Corps because the scale of this troupe is not se, so the aet this done, then his maritime trade would finally be realized The profitthe shi+ps in the ports
Just like this, Captain Jack Sparrow and Mr George Bush became close comrades as they prepared themselves to head up north in search of the mercenary corps
Three days later, Du Wei finally received the news from the capital
Raymond Earl wrote a letter and sent if over on horseback The letter didn’t say e was an invitation to attend the annual summer festival
ItDu Wei to return to the capital Marde naturally rejoiced at the news, but Du Wei looked relaxed without any hint of anger or joy
