Chapter 105

Generally speaking, one or two marine supplies stores can always be found in market towns of ocean terminals, where charts, compasses and some commonly used marine supplies are sold, including sextants.

However, there is no such shop in bashiba town

To put it more accurately, there is no real shop in the whole town, not even the tavern and brothel loved by sailors.

This folk custom... Is too simple

Lorraine is a little blind.

His biggest purpose when he stopped at bashiba was to buy a sextant and a chart of the new world.

Bridgeton must have these things, but there was no choice but to face the pirate rich Caribbean. He really didn't like to drill in with his eyes black.

Now it seems that we have to drill.

To understand these joints, Lorraine smiled bitterly and simply wandered aimlessly.

Strolling is not strolling, scenery is not scenery.

He came to America with a boat when he was a child, and also docked and supplied on small islands in the Caribbean. Compared with those prosperous towns, bashiba town is not a pleasant place in his eyes.

It's just that man is a terrestrial animal after all. Even if he doesn't find what he needs, he still enjoys the feeling of being down-to-earth.

Lorraine began to think about the development plan of the chamber of Commerce in the new world.

The new world... Includes the Caribbean islands and the huge Americas.

The war-torn North America and the chaotic Caribbean are a paradise for him as a privateer. In contrast, the backward South America has little interests to pursue.

For the time being, he plans to build two chapters in America.

The first branch will spread throughout the Caribbean and Central America.

Tropical crops such as coffee, sugar, tobacco and cocoa are suitable ocean going commodities with huge profits. Moreover, the new continent residence of the Royal Navy of Great Britain is located in Kingston port, Jamaica, with strong support, and the foundation of the chamber of commerce is stronger.

North America deserves to establish a second branch, which has sufficient population and developed economy. Like the radiation positioning of the European Northwest Branch, it can become the main profit growth point of the chamber of Commerce in the future.

The problem is that there is an anti British war going on there.

As an Englishman, Lorraine hasn't figured out whether to expand business after North America's formal independence or to take some risks and make some moves during the war.

Fortunately, this matter does not need to be in a hurry.

This time he only brought 30000 pounds. Although there were many ancient gold wares, the discount ratio was really limited, and he couldn't rush to sell them.

This number is only enough for one branch to start up and buy ships. It is not even enough to be equipped with a standard destroyer of the same level as the golden deer.

Therefore, the first thing must be to establish a Caribbean chapter in Kingston. Only when the branch is established can he further select business partners and form an ocean fleet.

As for what to do next

According to the conventional development idea, like most ocean merchants, he should run his own business with the golden deer and make use of the long distance between Europe and America to earn a huge price difference.

But he didn't want to.

Since winning the battle of CANTAB, Drake chamber of Commerce has gained a firm foothold in the vast waters of northwest Europe.

There is sufficient hematopoietic capacity, which can produce stable profits by consuming Spanish new continent products.

A golden deer is far from enough to pry this mature profit model. Even if Lorraine ties himself to the route, he can't make a qualitative change in what he gets.

He felt that he was more suitable to take risks on the sea of the new world. He took advantage of the privilege of privatizing businessmen and shortened the maturity process of the two pre established chambers of Commerce in the new world through robbery, rather than laboring and calculating carefully.

The key is, how can we make the best use of the pirate flag and the chamber of Commerce flag?

How can we, like Francis, use the war to make a lot of money, instead of being welded in an iron cage and hung on the Thames River for exhibition like Captain Kidd?

Don't rush, don't be lazy

Lorraine became more and more absorbed, so he found an empty alley, sat down against the cone tower and talked to himself quietly.

Before he could figure it out, however, a noise disturbed his mind.

"Where is the woman?"

"Front! Damn it, front! I see her, encircle her at both ends!"

Loud and noisy shouting accompanied by the sound of sundries being overturned, Lorraine stood up curiously and saw a slim figure running out of the end of the alley, lowering his head and running straight towards Lorraine.

It was a white woman, tall, slender hands and feet, with red hair spreading wantonly, curling waves and enthusiasm.

Her dress is very different from that of women in this era. She neither wears a hat nor a skirt. Her upper body is a pure white wide sleeved silk shirt, and her lower body is light brown tight breeches. Moreover, the hem of the shirt is not tucked into the waist, but simply wrapped a knot around her waist, especially highlighting the slender and soft of the bee waist.

Lorraine couldn't see her face.

She ran in a panic, sometimes turning back and sometimes drooping her head. She looked quite vigorous. She jumped over the sundries crowded in the narrow lane gently and skillfully, and soon ran to Lorraine.

Lorraine naturally gave way.

Unexpectedly, the woman saw the boots.

She found someone in front of her. She subconsciously dodged to the side. Instead, she bumped into Lorraine's arms. Xiangyu was full of.

The chase sound in the back lane was close, as if the pursuers would appear in the next second, blocking the women who were delayed from both ends.

Lorraine's face was strange. He stretched out his hand to straighten the woman and saw her face for the first time.

She is very young, with big and long eyes and thin and beautiful eyebrows.

She has a pair of big dark brown eyes, slightly dark skin color, showing a faint sense of wheat color. The tall bridge of the nose is not hooked or warped, the face is round, and the chin is slightly pointed, showing the soft, delicate and charming facial features.

A red haired Iberian?

Just a face-to-face effort, Lorraine had recognized her race, but his doubts did not decrease, but became more than before.

Barbados is a British colony. At present, the British new world authorities are at war with Spain, and it seems that they are not friendly with Portugal

With such an environment, how could an Iberian woman appear in Barbados and panic?

He tried to ask, "Miss, you look..."

"Don't talk, kiss me!"

"Ah?"

The woman saw that Lorraine didn't respond and gritted her teeth and walked close.

With her slender arm around Lorraine's broad back, her palm pressed Lorraine's head directly along the upstream of her back, stood on tiptoe and suddenly pressed down.

Oh!

Her lips are cold, delicate and soft.

Loose red hair gently scratched Lorraine's face, tickled his heart and liver, and itched slightly. Her slim posture clings to Lorraine's chest, and a faint fragrance lingers on the tip of her nose.

Lorraine's brain is blank.

See the ghost

I've seen a ghost this time

In public, the world is bright. Lao Tze's magnificent Viking man was eaten tofu by a refugee little woman?

Lose! Eat big hair!
