Chapter 236

The visual impact of piles of gold bars is quite strong.

In addition to the person in charge of carrying gold, the rest were also gathered together by Zhang Heng and issued weapons to maintain order at the wharf to prevent accidents.

However, there was the skull before. Now people on the island know that jackdaw is not easy to be provoked, but no one was dazzled by the bright gold.

Zhang Heng sent someone to inform Karina, the businesswoman, and asked her to vacate a warehouse to store gold for the time being. This harvest is too much. If all of them are distributed to the crew, safety will become a big problem. Although no one on the island dares to embarrass the Jackdaw now, the thieves and other people in the back can't wait for a long time .

In addition, Zhang Heng was also reminded of the fact that a crew member had lost 20 gold coins in the casino overnight. Although Zhang Heng did not interfere in everyone's consumption mode in principle, and would not care what people would do after they got the money, he would also consider the possibility that the crew member of Hanya who paid so much money at one time would be targeted.

So he plans to send some first, keep the rest together, and establish an account book, which can be drawn at any time by people in need.

After a while, Karina also took people to the dock, but Zhang Heng noticed that her face was not good-looking, but it was hard for them to say anything in front of outsiders.

Until he returned to the warehouse and watched boxes of gold being transported in, Zhang Heng and the businesswoman found a quiet place and said, "how are you doing when I'm not on the island?"

The smile on the latter's face was somewhat reluctant, "the situation It's not very good. "

"Well?"

Things have to go back to two months ago, when Zhang Heng left Nassau, because of the skull, it finally opened the deadlock for Karina. With the unstoppable rise of jackdaw, the second-hand goods trading office has gradually established a firm foothold on the island.

Not only did the captain who had cooperated with Karina privately get her back, but also some ships other than jackdaw broke away from the black merchant alliance and openly expressed their willingness to establish a long-term and stable cooperative relationship with Karina.

This is undoubtedly a powerful blow for Malcolm who wants to completely monopolize Nassau's black market transaction, and this is just the beginning. Then more and more people expressed their intention to cooperate with Karina.

This is just like rain from heaven for Karina, who has been blocked by the black business alliance. Seeing the hope of defeating Malcolm and the black business alliance he led, the businesswoman almost signed a cooperation agreement with those pirate ships without thinking.

In order to eat so much market share, Karina added another transport ship on the basis of the original two transport ships, and also recruited more manpower. For this reason, she almost invested all the profits she made in the previous several times.

But then things went completely out of her control.

Kalina's biggest problem is that she doesn't really have the experience of becoming a black market businessman. When she went to the island, she caught up with the change and the black business alliance was ready to be established, because her father's partners before going to prison had been divided up by others. Until she found Jackdaw, Zhang Heng agreed to cooperate with her, so that she could survive in Nassau, but she always faced it From the pressure of the black business alliance.

Therefore, unlike other black market merchants on the island, Karina has never cooperated with ships other than the Jackdaw. Although she has secretly purchased a batch of goods from other captains behind the back of the black trade alliance before, it is basically a one hammer deal, but it is much more complicated to really cooperate.

Although Karina is really gifted in business, she also needs to learn and accumulate in unfamiliar fields. If there is no pressure from Malcolm, she will have enough time to grow up. But now she is like a potato seedling, and she must try her best to open the stones on her head.

On the other hand, the influence of Malone's betrayal began to ferment. The latter is the most trusted person around his father and the most familiar person with the whole process of her father's previous business.

Without his guidance, and in opposition to other businessmen, Karina has to rely on herself to explore, and then she finds that there are more problems than she imagined.

For example, the purchase price discussed before was based on the black merchant alliance plus half a percentage, which was also agreed by both sides. However, because the black merchant alliance had opened different purchase ranges for each pirate ship, some pirates found a batch of goods of the same quality. According to the new pricing standard, they did not get another one that also cooperated with Karina There are many pirates.

So this caused some people's dissatisfaction. At that time, it happened that Kalina was negotiating with other pirate captains. For fear of possible adverse effects, Kalina finally unified the purchase price according to the highest standard, but in this way her profit margin was smaller.

And this is just the beginning, because she increased the freight volume, the bribed people at the customs found her and proposed to increase the bribe money, which also increased her cost on the one hand. Karina thought it was Malcolm's people who were making trouble behind her back, but when she changed to another port, she found that she was also facing the same thing, and then she realized that it was not her fault It's a hidden rule that all black market businessmen will face.In addition, when she was selling the goods, she also had trouble. The large-scale shipment caused the dissatisfaction of the local merchants. For this reason, she also got into two lawsuits. Although she spent money to settle them in the end, the loss was not small.

However, the most serious problem is the capital. Before Zhang Heng left, she gave Karina a transport ship. After the repair of the skeleton, the businesswoman took it as the third transport ship. However, the cost of recruiting manpower and renovation still needs her to pay. In addition, the warehouse expansion and the new grocery store were opened. When she bought goods from the pirates, the businesswoman had to leave her father's money behind The property was mortgaged again to raise money.

However, it takes a cycle from the purchase of goods to the delivery of goods to the colonial port to find buyers to cash in. In Karina's original calculation, the flow of funds should be in time, but the reality is not as smooth as expected, and the time for pirates to return to the port is uncontrollable, sometimes several ships will appear in the same day The situation of pirate ships selling booty together also brought huge financial pressure to the female businessmen.

A week before Zhang Heng came back, Karina's capital chain had broken, and she still owed money to two pirate ships. Just in the morning, the businesswoman was still trying to appease her partners. However, because she couldn't get the money on time, some angry pirates smashed Karina's new grocery store.
