Chapter 114 Cocoa Merchant Fabian

After staying up all night, Jacques finally came up with a perfect plan. After talking to Lily, the two hit it off.

So in the morning, the two of them went to the Miltese store first, sold Jacques's broken Miltese soft armor, and exchanged for two thousand silver coins. Although they lost a little, the subsequent plan was still waiting to use money, which was considered start-up capital.

In the afternoon, a large customer came to Difura Trading, the largest cocoa bean wholesaler in Tavare, who was bearded but looked young. The young businessman from Castia, with a bunch of guards, asked for a ship of special cocoa beans spot stock and had to pay a deposit immediately.

The deacon of Difura Trading Company could see at a glance that this young man who knew very well about cocoa beans was a novice in trade. He was probably the descendant of a large factory owner in Castia. He was very familiar with professional things, but he knew nothing about human nature and rules.

No matter what the customer is like, the business needs to be done, so the deacon simply helped the manager to send the customer a walk and help him get things done smoothly. The customer is grateful, and there will be repeat customers in the future, so he said:

"Brother Fabian, we have been talking for the afternoon. I know you know cocoa beans, but doing business in Tavare is not enough to have money and understand goods alone.

You said your beans are going to be sent to Castia? Then the question is, the sea is vast, how can you ensure that they are delivered safely?"

"I'll hire more guards to accompany the ship?" Jacques, whose pseudonym was Fabian, pretended to be stupid.

"That's not enough! You underestimated the pirates in this sea area.

You know, the pirates on the sea actually have their feet on the shore. Instead of being robbed by them on the sea, it is better to pay the fee you should pay on the shore first. When they arrive at the sea, they will see that, oh, their family has already collected money, so they won’t make things difficult for you. If you steal you, you will lose your reputation.”

"Then who should I pay this fee? How much? If I charge too much, I have worked hard to come to the New World. If the cost is higher than what I buy at home, wouldn't it be worth it?"

"It's not too much to say. It's about 20% of the goods worth. I don't charge this money, and it's not something that anyone can charge. If you go to Castia, you need to pay the money to the mirror group. The method of paying the money is very simple. Go to Miruo Import and Export Trading Company and tell them that you have negotiated the quantity and price with us, pay them, let them come forward to buy it with me, and then sell it to you at a higher price.

To put it bluntly, there is one copy of the mirror group, one copy of the governor, and one copy of the business. Everyone is satisfied and your trip will be safe.

Little brother, you haven’t rented a boat yet? You can also leave the job of renting a boat to Miruo Trading Company. It can save you some money here, which is lower than the price you negotiate with when you go to the boat shop yourself. They do the maritime business by themselves.”

"Thank you, brother, for helping me point out the secret. I would never have thought of it if I was not familiar with this place.

You see, I don’t know anyone I know at Miruo Trading. Can you introduce it? I can save some money?" As Jacques pulled the deacon’s hand, a small wallet was stuffed into his hand.

The deacon weighed it and there were about fifty silver coins. He was quite good at it and said with a smile: "It is our honor for me to be interested in our goods. I still have to help you with this. I still have some friendship with Miruo's manager, Mr. Bao Ladu. Let me do this. I will introduce you tonight."

It's really a coincidence that it's this kid again!

That night, Jacques invited the deacon from Dirafu Trading Company and Baoladu who had met with Lily for dinner. During the meal, Jacques took the opportunity to give Baoladu a 500 silver coin ticket, and the matter went smoothly.

Miruo Trading Company purchased a ship of cocoa beans from Dirafu Trading Company. The ship was also arranged by Miruo Trading Company, with a 15% increase in the middle. Adding the cost of hiring the ship, a total of 140,000 silver coins. The mirror group ensures the safety of the ship's cargo in the waters of the New World.

Bao Ladu feels that he has made a profit this time. The business of more than 100,000 silver coins will look much better this month.

The guests and hosts all enjoyed each other and made an appointment to go to Miruo Store to pay tomorrow.

The next day, the young man named Fabian came with a group of guards, and brought three boxes of silver coins.

I was busy counting, invoicing, warehousing, ordering, ordering ships, and Baoladu for a long time.

"Brother Fabian, the people from Dirafu Trading Company arranged for loading this afternoon. You can go to the ship to inspect the goods tomorrow. If everything goes well, you can arrange for departure tomorrow. Are you so anxious to set off and no longer buy some specialties? Brother still wants to invite you to drink."

"Oh, thank you, Brother Baoladu. I'm in a hurry to go back and report, so I can't delay it. Speaking of this, there is actually one more thing I want to trouble you, brother."

"What's the matter, tell me!"

"Thanks to your support, I saved a lot of money from entering cocoa beans. I didn't use up the silver coins I brought back like this. It's not convenient and it's not safe.

I want to trouble you to help me see which local company needs silver coins. I will exchange it with him for money tickets. The ones that can be used in the Empire and are unnamed. We will give you a discount of two points as usual. I will give you an additional introduction fee."

Baoladu thought, this is a person sitting at home, and money comes from heaven. This kid probably thinks it is not convenient for him to bring silver coins back, or give me a chance to make money so that he can continue to work together next time? Seeing that he has so many subordinates, he doesn’t seem to be worried about money or good luck.

"It's easy to say, Brother Fabian, how much do you want to exchange for the ticket?"

"Not much, 150,000 silver coins will be exchanged for some small bearer money tickets from the Western Mainland Bank or the Imperial Bank. The ship will hand over tomorrow. The introduction fee of 1,500 silver coins will be given to you at that time. I understand."

Bao Laduxin said, "It's easy to say that the 150,000 yuan secret ticket is available in our chamber of commerce. I will exchange it for him tomorrow. I made a profit from the discount of two points again. I immediately patted my chest and said, "No problem, I'll leave it to me!"

On the third day, the pier.

The merchant from the Empire, named Fabian, still boarded the "Yuncheng Yanyu" merchant ship hired to go to the Empire with a large group of guards.

Baoladu and the Chamber of Commerce deacon accompanied him to inspect the goods in the bottom warehouse. The young man took out a slender glass tube and inserted it into the bottom of the bucket filled with cocoa beans, pulled the rope and lifted it, leaving more than a hundred cocoa beans in the middle of the tube.

The young man held a lantern and carefully checked the beans in the glass tube, counted the number of shrunk beans and blue-gray beans, and then recorded them. He checked all the cocoa beans in succession. He stopped and returned to the two of them and said, "The problem beans are less than 3%, the quality is qualified, and they are happy to cooperate with the two. I am ready to set off now!"

Under the guidance of Fat Orange, Jacques pretended to be a cocoa bean expert in a vivid way.

"Brother Fabian, money ticket..."

"Oh, yes, look at my memory, let's go up and count the money."

"I think Brother Bi'an is in poor spirits these two days, so you should pay attention to rest."

"Hey, I've been so busy these two days that I can't sleep well. I won't mention it anymore."

Walking by the guards, Baoladu seemed to have seen a face he had seen, and it was important to collect money.

He and his subordinates carried three boxes of silver coins off the ship, and Bao Ladu had a "kickback" of 4,500 silver coins in his arms. This time he made a big profit!

"Yuncheng Yanyu" left the port, and then Bao Ladu remembered that the person he seemed to have met was the woman he had hooked up in a bar, so why did he run to serve as a guard for this kid?

No wonder he was so tired. I couldn’t sleep even if I did. I was slow to start and I lost a lot!
