"Thank you." When everything is over, Hornig leaves, and the Pirates of jackdaw get their own share, Karina walks up to Zhang Heng and says thank you.
The businesswoman couldn't imagine what would happen if Zhang Heng didn't come back in time on the beach last night.
Her thinking has always remained in the business struggle, how to compete with Malcolm for the captain, compete for the purchase price, and break through the blockade of the black business alliance. At most, because of her father's experience, she paid attention to the problem of ports and avoided Malcolm's family's most powerful harbors. She did not expect that the other side would tear their faces off and send pirates to intercept the breeze.
This has not happened on the island for a long time.
Malcolm's contact with these pirates does not belong to Nassau. Naturally, there is no need to worry about breaking the rules on the island. Last night was the first time that Karina really came into contact with the dark side of the world.
In Nassau, she has changed a lot in the past few months. She blushes when talking to men at first, but now she can bargain with a group of fierce captains, and is praised by Malone and others. The businesswoman also feels that she has been integrated here.
She even forgot that she was facing a group of murderous pirates. Last night, the guy named Wilton successfully aroused all her fears on the beach.
The knife in each other's hand is less than two centimeters away from her neck. This is the closest time that Karina has ever lived and died.
"I'm also responsible for the skull. I let you keep aggressive. I underestimated the danger. I didn't expect Malcolm to do it so quickly." Zhang Heng looked around. The second-hand goods trading office has been busy since it opened in the morning, with a long line in front of the door. "It seems that you've done well recently, bringing a lot of pressure to the black business alliance 。”
Karina smelled and said with a wry smile, "it just looks lively. In fact, she can't make any money. Now she just barely makes ends meet. In the end, it still depends on your jackdaw."
"How many captains have come to you in private while I am at sea?"
"Before, there were four cooperators and some interested ones. We are negotiating. However, because Malcolm issued a statement later, only two of them are willing to cooperate with us, and the others turn to wait-and-see. But now the situation has improved, especially after you killed the Welton group, many people begin to believe that we can stay on the island, just now Even the captain said he was willing to give up the black business alliance and establish a long-term cooperative relationship with us. Although their strength is not too strong, they are much better than these guys. "
The businesswoman rushed to the shabbily dressed pirates in front of the second-hand goods trading office, complaining that she didn't give two more copper pesos to the pirates.
"But now there is a problem. If we continue to expand, one transport ship will not be enough."
"Wilton has two ships. His flagship skeleton needs to be repaired before it can be used. However, the other ship is intact. The firepower of that ship is not as good as that of skeleton, but it has more space. It should be very suitable to be used as a transport ship. The only problem is that the ship has been a pirate ship before, and it may cause trouble if it is recognized in the port."
"It's nothing. Wilton himself said that he rarely lives when he's plundering. Few people have seen the ship, and I'll have the ship rebuilt before I leave the port. Even those who have seen the ship can't recognize it."
The businesswoman obviously thought about this issue in advance. "As for manpower, we can recruit them on the island. In fact, these guys are good. Many of them are young people who can't earn much money as pirates. As long as they have a job to make a living, they are willing to work as sailors on transport ships, and they don't have high salary requirements. The most important thing is that they are people on the island, even if they have a job No matter how bad it is, there are many relatives and friends on the island. If last night's situation happens again, people on the island will not sit back and ignore it. "
Zhang Heng nodded and added, "if there is any emergency in my absence, you can also go to black Prince Sam or Hornig. They will help you. In addition, you'd better recruit a team of people to protect your safety. There are not too many people. If there are four or five people, you can deal with some emergencies."
Zhang Heng said, seeing that Kalina wanted to talk and stop, he asked, "what's the matter?"
"There's another thing, I don't know if I think too much about it. Before I cooperated with several pirate ships, I didn't think I could keep it from the black merchant alliance, but we did take some confidentiality measures. Malcolm shouldn't have found out so soon, but he warned me not long after we started.
"At first, I thought it was leaked out by several pirate groups. You know, it's hard for the pirates to keep any secrets. As long as they have a glass of rum and a little special service from Jiyuan, they will disclose everything they know. But then I realized a problem. If it's really their side, Malcolm should only be in charge After holding one or two pieces of news, it's unreasonable to be so clear about my actions. Although he didn't make it clear when we met, he always gave me a feeling that he knew everything about me like the back of his hand. "
"So do you think it was our side who leaked the news?" Zhang Heng asked."I don't know. I've chosen people who are trustworthy, and I've reduced the number of people who come into contact with it as much as possible, including most of the sailors on the breeze. They don't know what they're carrying." Women businessmen are humane.
"Is there any object of suspicion?"
Karina hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Jim, he's very young and can read. He used to be the bookkeeper on the breeze, and Malone recommended him to me. After my father was put into prison, more than half of the capable old sailors on the aeolian ship left. Many of them thought highly of people who offered high salaries, but Jim stayed. He was the one who got on the ship only last year. He should not have such a strong sense of belonging. Moreover, with his ability, even if he left the aeolian ship, he would not worry about finding a new job.
"I don't know much about him, but he stayed in our most difficult time and helped us a lot. Malone and I trusted him very much. In addition, he was also very serious. I asked him to come down from the breeze and follow me to count the goods, including the booty bought privately. He knew where these things came from He was also one of the few people who knew the route of the breeze
