Chapter 115 Raise the anchor! To the sea (8)

When Luo Fei and I looked at each other, they all understood that what the other party was thinking was that if the tickets were stored in the personal inventory, the safety should be completely guaranteed.

After that, Luo Fei and Long Aotian and Aosi took the sailors to watch the ship at the port first, and who I am and Oliver went to the Governor's Office to apply for a trade license for the port.

Taking the 10 gold coins and dozens of silver coins received from Long Aotian, the three of them hired a carriage at the port and soon rushed to the Governor's Mansion.

Since Ceuta is far less prosperous than Lisbon, Oliver has informed Luo Fei in advance that it may not be as many as 10 gold coins to apply for a license.

Sure enough, when I went to the corresponding trade approval department of the Governor's Office, I only spent 6 gold coins after completing the procedures. Luo Fei and I were very happy, so I didn't go back to the port but went straight to the exchange.

"Everyone, everyone! There is a lot of demand for saffron in Ceuta now. Any merchant who comes to transport this goods can raise his hand to signal me. There is no need to queue up to come to me to trade first!!" As soon as Luo Fei and the other two entered the door, they heard the tall and thin boss of the exchange shouting loudly at the trading counter.

"It seems that you are lucky! Oriental boy!!" Oliver also said to Luo Fei with a happy face after hearing this: "Usually, the selling price of goods is twice or even more than the basic price!"

"Yes! Yes! It's a good sign!!" Luo Fei, who had already been confident in his heart before coming, could not tell the reason to Oliver. He raised his hand and shouted loudly to the exchange boss: "I have saffron!" After hearing this, many envious eyes were focused on him.

......

"Above the 146 gold coins I used to buy leather for two cabins today, and the salary I paid to the crew members. After replenishing food and water for the Seagull, I now have a total of 847 gold coins and silver coins.

After returning to the ship, Luo Fei quickly summoned the team members in his cabin to discuss the next direction of trade, and whoever I was told about the current financial situation in the team was probably informed to the other two.

"I'm just saying it's up to Luo Ge! We have completed nearly half of the task requirements in just one trade." Whoever I love still couldn't help but praise his captain first.

"I don't think you have to call someone you love in the future, you can just call him a flatterer!" Long Aotian, who has a rough personality, couldn't help but sarcastic, and then said to who I am: "You said why did you find such a partner!"

"But I think he is right!" Who I am looked at with a silly expression: "It's the same as working in a company. Is it normal for you to take the boss to say that the boss is good?"

"That's the reason, but..." Long Aotian was said by whom I was, and after careful consideration, she felt that what she said seemed to be correct.

"Actually, you also want to show kindness to the boss in your heart, but I take it first every time, which arouses a subconscious rebellious mentality!" Whoever loves him smiled when he saw Long Aotian's appearance, and said proudly and with a final say.

Surprisingly, Long Aotian was silent this time. It seemed that he was really convinced by the statement that I was just now.

"Okay! Let's get back to the point!" Luo Fei, as the captain, was helpless, and had to come out at the right time to end the argument for them.

He pointed to the European map tiled on the table and said: "According to what we planned before, we should normally take a boat to Valencia or Al after purchasing goods from Ceuta. I suggest going to Valencia first. After all, the city is much larger than Al, and the selling price may be higher, and there should be more types of goods that can be purchased."

"In the afternoon, by inquiring from the exchange boss, the most expensive thing that Valencia sells is ceramics, and Al has ivory, but it seems that they are all limited in sales, and they are not buying as much as they want." Who I am also explaining to the other two people what she knows.

"Then let's listen to the captain, let's go to Valencia first!" said the person who loves him: "If the sales are limited, the worst thing we can buy a cabin of ceramics and ivory in Valencia and Alcohol."

"I agree with the boss's statement." Because it was Luo Fei's suggestion, Long Aotian did not go against anyone he loved this time, and he also agreed.

"Okay, since the basic route has been set, I will talk to Oliver and the main crew members. The financial 800 gold coins of Portugal bank deposit certificate will be kept in my personal inventory. The remaining 40 gold coins will continue to be placed in Long Aotian for daily use." Luo Fei put away the map and said to the other three.

......

In this way, the Seagull stayed in Ceuta for only one night, and set sail towards Valencia the next day.

"Valencia is Spain's third largest city and the second largest seaport. It is known as the sunshine city of Europe. It is located in the southeast of Spain, facing the sea in the east, backed by the vast plains, and has evergreen all year round and a pleasant climate." After sailing for another 3 days, when the ship was less than one day away from Valencia, when Luo Fei was free to bask in the sun on the deck, Oliver suddenly came over from behind and introduced him to the basic situation of Valencia.

"I learned about the purchase restrictions in Ceuta before, but I haven't asked you in detail why." Luo Fei immediately smiled and said with a smile.

"This is because certain ports are often scarce after all, and the exchange is more willing to sell them to strong and large-scale caravans." Oliver explained patiently to Luo Fei: "Besides, despite official warships patrolling around the port cities along the Mediterranean, pirates who come and go like the wind are still nightmares for small merchant ships like us! The price of scarce products per cabin is often several times or even dozens of times that of ordinary cargo. The exchange restricts small merchants to a certain extent, which actually prevents them from going bankrupt due to encountering pirates!"

"Since you just said that these pirates in the Mediterranean are usually just robbing money and not killing their lives?" Luo Fei keenly grasped the important information in Oliver's words just now.

"Yes." Oliver nodded and said, "They all know the truth that they are not only fighting in one place. If they kill all the merchants every time, over time, not only will the countries increase their attacks, but even if they are powerful and not afraid of encirclement and suppression, the merchants will no longer trade within their control, and their profits will become less and less."

As a small merchant ship, the Seagull was not equipped with a gun, and all the bows were the extra sails that could speed up the ship.

Fortunately, the next day, the ship arrived in Valencia without any danger. After applying for a license and selling the leather, the two cabins earned a total of 80 gold coins.
