v2 Chapter 192： Expansion and suspicion

"Thank you." When everything was over, Honig left, and after the pirates of the Jackdaw received their own portion, Karina went to Zhang Heng and thanked him.

The businesswoman couldn't imagine what would happen if Zhang Heng didn't get back in time on the beach last night.

Her thinking has always been in the commercial struggle. How to compete with Captain Malcolm, compete for the purchase price, and break through the blockade of the black business alliance. At most, because of her father's encounter, he paid attention to the port issue and avoided Malcolm's. The few harbours with the greatest family power did not expect that the other party would directly tear off their faces and send pirates to intercept the Breeze.

This kind of thing has not happened on the island for a long time.

The group of pirates contacted by Malcolm did not belong to Nassau. Naturally, there is no need to worry about breaking the rules on the island. Last night, it was Karina's first real contact with the dark side of the world.

She has changed a lot in Nassau in the past few months, from blushing to talking to men in the beginning, and now she can bargain with the ferocious captains and get praises from Malone and others. The business woman also feels that she has been integrated here .

She even forgot that she was facing a group of pirates who did not blink, and last night, the guy named Wilton successfully evoked all the fear in her heart on the beach.

The knife in the other's hand was less than two centimeters from her neck. This was Karina's closest death and death.

"I also have a responsibility for the Skull. I keep you aggressive. I underestimated the dangers. I didn't expect Malcolm to start so quickly." Zhang Heng looked around, and from the early morning in front of the second-hand goods trading office. The door has been very lively until now. There is a long line in front of the door. "It seems that you have done a good job in the recent period, which has brought a lot of pressure to the black business alliance."

Karina heard a bitter smile, "It just looks hilarious, but it doesn't make much money, and now I just barely make ends meet, I still have to rely on your Jackdaw."

"How many captains have you seen in private during my time at sea?"

"There were four previous cooperations, and there were some intentions. We are negotiating, but because Malcolm later issued a statement, only two were still willing to cooperate with us, everyone else turned to wait and see, but Now things are getting better, especially after you killed Wilton's group, many people began to believe that we can stay on the island, and just now the captain expressed his willingness to give up the black merchants alliance and establish a long-term relationship with us. The partnership, although not very strong, is much better than these guys. "

The business woman rushed to the ragged clothes in front of the second-hand goods trading office and complained that the pirates of the two copper pesos had not raised more eyebrows.

"But there is a problem now. If we expand further, a transport ship is not enough."

"Wilton has two ships, and his flagship Skull needs repairing before it can be used, but the other ship is intact. The firepower on that ship is not as good as the Skull, but it has more space than it should be used as a transport ship. It's appropriate. The only problem is that the ship has been a pirate ship. If it is recognized at the port, it may cause trouble. "

"It's nothing, Wilton personally said that he rarely stays alive when plundering. There should not be many people who have seen the ship, and I will let someone remodel the ship before leaving the port. Even the people I've met cannot be identified. "

The business woman obviously thought about this in advance. "As for manpower, we can recruit on the island on the spot. In fact, these guys are good. Many of them are young people. They ca n’t make any money as long as they have jobs. I am willing to be a sailor on a transport ship, and the salary requirements are not high. The most important thing is that they are people on the island. Even if they are not good, there are many relatives and friends on the island. Under such circumstances, people on the island will no longer sit idly by. "

Zhang Heng nodded and added, "In the future when I am away, if there is any emergency, you can also go to the black prince Sam or Honig, they will help, and you better recruit yourself. A team of people is there to protect security. There are not too many people. There are four or five people, and they can cope with some unexpected situations. "

Zhang Heng said after seeing Karina's reticence, "What's wrong?"

"One more thing, I don't know if I think too much. I worked with several pirate ships before and didn't think that I could keep hiding from the black merchants alliance, but we did make some confidentiality measures. It is reasonable to say that Malcolm It shouldn't have been discovered so quickly, but he warned me not long after we started.

"In the beginning, I thought it was leaked from several pirate regiments who cooperated. You know, those pirates have a hard time keeping secrets. As long as they have a glass of rum and a special service from a magic house, they will know everything Speaking out, but then I realized a problem. If it was their leak, Malcolm should only have one or two news. It did n’t make sense to me so clearly. When we met, he did n’t say anything. , But he kept giving me a feeling, as if he knew everything about me. "

"So do you think it was leaked by people here?" Zhang Heng asked ~ www.novelhall.com ~ I don't know. I chose reliable people and minimized exposure to this matter. People, including the vast majority of sailors on the Breeze, did not know what they were transporting. "Said the businesswoman.

"Anyone in doubt?"

Karina hesitated, and finally said, "Jim, he is young and literate. He was originally a bookkeeper on Breeze. Malone recommended it to me. After my father was in prison, Breeze The old sailors who have the ability to go for more than half. Among them, my father originally valued those who paid high salaries, but Jim stayed. He was the one who boarded the ship last year. It is reasonable to say that the sense of belonging should not be so strong, and With his ability, even if he left Breeze, 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 a lot. Therefore, Malone and I both trusted him, and he was very serious in doing things. I took him away The Breeze asked for it and followed me, specializing in taking inventory of the goods, including those spoils bought privately. He knew where these things came from, and he was also one of the few people who knew the Breeze navigation route. "
