The next morning, Lin En said goodbye to Koshiro and his family after breakfast.
Dolagh, Ivankov, and the others had left last night.
Then, Lin En went to bid farewell to Kosaburo.
Kosaburo looked impatient and told Lin En to leave quickly.
……
Set sail.
The cargo ship set sail again.
This time, Lin En's target was Roguetown.
Dolag needed a lot of goods.
Two hundred tons of flour and three hundred tons of rice.
500 boxes of anti-inflammatory medicine and 20,000 bags of bandages.
There were also jerky, disinfectant, medical equipment, and so on.
The total amount of resources required was not a small amount.
If he went to the nearby town to purchase, he would definitely not be able to purchase enough in a short period of time.
Therefore, Lin En could only go to the place where the resources were " gathered ".
……
Roguetown was the intersection of the great sea route.
A large number of merchant ships docked here every day.
All the goods heading to the great sea route would be gathered at the dock.
There would be specialized people to inspect the goods, similar to inspection and quarantine.
At the same time, tax officers would collect taxes, and gangs would come over to collect a certain amount of fees.
When Lin En's cargo ship arrived at the port, two young businessmen were fighting with a group of men in black suits.
Although it was a conflict, the two young businessmen were obviously being beaten up one-sidedly.
However, the two young men were quite unyielding. They gritted their teeth and fought to the death.
At the same time, there were many people watching, including businessmen, workers, and tourists.
Although they were both merchants, they were watching coldly from the sidelines. No one went up to help.
Sweep the snow in front of your door, don't care about the frost on the roof of your house.
Merchants were afraid of trouble and did not dare to cause trouble. Therefore, they did not care about it.
"Young people are still too young," La Tu teased.”
"According to the boss, they haven't been beaten up by society.”
These men in suits were from the local gangs. They would charge a certain amount of cargo management fees and dock usage fees.
This fee was naturally illegal, but it was a local rule and could be understood as underground order.
There were navy soldiers passing by the dock.
The two young merchants immediately called for help.
"Save us!"
"Marine, save us!"
Hearing the cry for help, the soldiers glanced at the gangsters who were attacking and left as if they didn't see them.
They had seen this kind of thing too many times. Moreover, the local gangs had a good relationship with them.
There was no need to have an unnecessary conflict over such a small matter.
Moreover, sometimes, they also needed the help of the gangs.
Lin En watched for a while and saw that the two of them had already been beaten until they vomited blood. They curled up like shrimps that were about to die.
"Give me some face. I'll pay for them. Don't make things difficult for them.”
Lin En shouted at the people on the dock from the boat.
The gangsters who were beating up two young businessmen nodded respectfully when they saw Lin En.
They knew Lin En.
They knew that Lin En was a powerful person and not an ordinary businessman. Moreover, he had a good relationship with their boss.
"Lin En."
"It's Lin En."
"Hey, Lin En, how have you been?”
When the merchants at the dock saw Lin En coming over, they took the initiative to greet him.
Compared to just now when they were watching coldly, they became enthusiastic and proactive.
Lin En had accumulated quite a bit of fame over the years. Moreover, because of Lin En's " honesty," Lin En's reputation was quite good.
In addition, Lin En was well-connected in the navy and gangs, so he was familiar with both sides.
Therefore, the merchants were willing to interact with Lin En.
At this moment, a man wearing a black suit, long boots, a tall hat, and a moustache approached and asked,"Lin En, is there a big deal this time? If you do, you must contact me."
This gentleman-like man was called Colin. He was a local businessman from Roguetown and had a gang background.
At least one-third of the goods at Roguetown's dock belonged to him.
Although Colin was very rich, he would stay at the dock every day.
The goods that came in and out every day were all under Colin's control.
This included dangerous goods that could not be exposed to the light.
Seeing Colin come over, the merchants who wanted to continue chatting with Lin En left.
To merchants, gangs, the navy, and tax officers were all existences that made their hearts ache.
Lin En didn't show any fear and replied,""Mr. Collin, even if you didn't ask, I have a big business deal for you.”
Colin was the largest supplier in Linn, and he was the fastest to find when purchasing large quantities of goods.
"Hahaha…"
Colin patted Lin En's shoulder and said in a clear voice,""Let's have lunch first and talk while eating.”
……
Roger Town's Harold Restaurant.
In the VIP room of the restaurant, Lin En and Colin sat opposite each other.
At this moment, the waiter had already served the dishes one after another.
As the door closed, Colin took the initiative to pour a glass of red wine for Lin En.
"What do you mean by big business, Lyn?" Colin asked directly.”
"The Revolutionary Army."”
" They came to the East China Sea?!"
Colin's first reaction was surprise, but he did not look afraid.
As the local tyrant of Roguetown, Colin had seen the world.
On the day that One Piece Roger was killed, Colin was also at the execution ground.
"Yeah, I met him by chance," said Lin En.”
"You're going to do business with them?”
"Of course, they are excellent customers, so I can't refuse them," said Lin En.”
Wherever the Revolutionary Army went, there would definitely be riots.
In the course of the riot, there would naturally be casualties.
For merchants, this was naturally a good opportunity to make money.
Whether it was selling food, bandages, or coffins, they could all make a fortune from it.
Colin lit a cigar and said," Even if I'm willing to sell the supplies to you, it'll be difficult for you to transport it out of the dock. Don't forget, not only are there navy soldiers here, but there are also those guys.”
Those guys were the spies of the world government, and there were even spies from the intelligence agency.
Although Lin En didn't show Colin the list, Colin was an experienced man.
The supplies that the revolutionary army needed were definitely very 'sensitive' goods.
The food was better.
The key was the medicine.
Purchasing a large amount of medicine at once would not be able to escape the eyes of the world government.
" I'll smuggle them to the Lesley area," said Lin En confidently." I heard that there was a riot there and many people were killed or injured."”
"Smuggling?" Colin muttered.
He didn't expect that Lin En would use this method to transport the supplies out.
However, Lin En had a good relationship with the navy.
Even if they were discovered by the navy, that should be enough to justify it.
Moreover, the collusion between the navy and pirates was no secret.
It wasn't the first time that Lin En had done smuggling.
But…
"Although the supplies have been shipped out, you can't really be trading with the Revolutionary Army in the Lesley area, right? With so many supplies, you will definitely be targeted.“
Colin was still worried.
As long as the Revolutionaries were involved, the World Government would investigate.
Colin was only a local tyrant in Roguetown, and he could not go against the World Government.
If the World Government really wanted to deal with him, it would be easier than crushing an ant.
"Of course I have a way. Don't worry, Mr. Colin. It'll be fine."”
Colin thought for a moment, then took a long drag on his cigarette." The risk is too high this time.”
Lin En smiled and changed the price on the list.
The purchase price had tripled from the market price.
The capitalists feared no profits or too little profits, just as nature feared a vacuum.
Once there was an appropriate amount of profit, the capital would be bolder.
If there was a 50% profit, he would take the risk.
For the sake of a hundred percent profit, he dared to trample on all the laws of the world. With a 300% profit, he would dare to commit any crime, even risking being hanged.
After Colin saw the price, he still did not agree immediately. Instead, he stared into Lin En's eyes." According to this price, you shouldn't have much profit left.”
Colin had the habit of reading the newspaper every day.
Although the Revolutionary Army had a lot of pages, it had not yet formed a real atmosphere.
Therefore, the Revolutionary Army did not have sufficient funds.
When Lin En did business with the Revolutionary Army, the price was not that high.
How dare he do business with such a small profit?
Colin was quickly calculating the risks and profits in his mind.
Lin En seemed to have seen through everything. He said calmly,"Mr. Collin, without us, they might not be able to spend their money. "Therefore, we will earn more in the future. This is just the beginning of our cooperation.”
In front of the world government and the other countries, the Revolutionary Army was a rebel.
Even if the Revolutionary Army managed to snatch the money, it was impossible for them to purchase the materials directly. They had to go through the merchants as a medium.
Colin was deep in thought. He believed in Lin En's judgment. Since he had known Lin En, he had never done a losing business.
Colin crossed out the price and filled in a new one." The future? It was worth the risk. However, I want to participate in the business in the future.”
If the Revolutionaries could really succeed, they would need more resources in the future.
This was a big business deal, and Colin didn't want to miss this opportunity.
As for revolution and changing the world? He did not care about that.
Merchants had no borders.
Bailey was the most fragrant!
Therefore, Colin chose to work with Lin En, and he changed the price.
He only doubled the price, but still left a lot of profit for Lin En.
Lin En smiled and reached out his hand." Happy cooperation."”
