Chapter 34 Heavy Rain (1)
The trading company secretary took out his handkerchief and kept wiping his cold sweat, posing in confusion to satisfy the vanity of the big man in front of him: "What do you mean?"
"What's the name of that chamber of commerce?" Arcatio thought for a moment.
The secretary carefully reminded: "Flash Gold Chamber."
"Look at this name," Alcateo smiled, looking a little disdainful: "A group of nouveau riche in the countryside is just to keep warm. The biggest use of these little people who are overestimating themselves is to use their hard work to open the way for the superiors, so as not to be troubled when we go."
"I sit and watch these little people who are only suitable for the mundane business of sesame and green beans, running back and forth in the place in order to build a good trade network and then pick this ripe fruit."
The trading company secretary cursed in his heart and said, "Far from the perspective, I am indeed a major official of the country. As the Central Committee of the State, you have a different vision from those mediocre people who can only mess with each other in the local area from the very beginning."
He asked again: "So you want to contact the members of the Chamber of Commerce and let them become the supporting role of our trading company from now on?"
Arcadio raised his eyebrows: "Why are you a noble? When you need it, just ask others to do things. You have your own little people to help you do things. Those who participate in mundane affairs all day long are you "noble"!"
...
In the dock area of Kalmar City, Sasarian is checking goods with the board of directors in the warehouse rented by his own chamber of commerce.
Kalmar City's own production capacity is not enough to meet the growing urban population, so the entire city is like a giant beast, absorbing huge amounts of materials transported from various places every day from busy docks.
The Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce is composed of local merchants, and people from all walks of life have them. Their demand is to sell the produced goods, which coincides with the demand of big cities like Kalmar.
So under Sassarian's persuasion, various business talents agreed to form a chamber of commerce, hoping to work together to open up the capital market.
Now it seems that it is quite effective. Sassarian thought with satisfaction.
Bang!
As soon as Sasarian was a little satisfied, he heard a loud noise from the warehouse gate. A group of fully armed soldiers had already knocked the door open, and then entered the warehouse one after another.
Several people from the chamber of commerce wanted to come forward to ask, but were pushed away by a leading official. He looked around and asked loudly: "Who is the owner of this warehouse?"
After a long time, Sasarien knew the morality of the bureaucrats and thought that the other party was here to ask for bribes, so he winked at the directors around him, and he walked forward carefully and said, "I am..."
Before Sasarian finished speaking, he was interrupted by the officials. He looked at Sasarian up and down: "You are the president of the Flash Gold Chamber, Sasarian?"
The official's tone was a little wrong, which made Sassarian feel a little bad.
Just as he wanted to say something pleased, he saw that the official waved to the soldier who was as good as a wolf and a tiger: "Catch this tax-evading profiteer!"
...
The heavy rain came in a blink of an eye.
In the room where Arcadio was in, the trading secretary and Eaton had left, but several new guests followed.
Arcadio drank black tea slowly and said to the person opposite the sofa: "It's not enough to just catch a president. I have to hurt them. This taming is actually the same as taming dogs. If they don't hurt them once and let them know who has absolute power, they won't know who is the master."
"What do you want to do?"
"I heard that there were a few people on their ship who had defeated some inequality pirates, so there was no problem with transportation. In the East China Sea, doing business cannot be separated from the ship, and even more so. I want them to understand that as long as I don't nod, their goods will not even dare to leave the dock."
Eaton was approaching the room again with a stack of information. A flash of lightning happened to be outside. The lightning suddenly illuminated the room and reflected on the people opposite Arcadio, making their faces look pale and terrible, which scared Eaton.
No wonder Eaton reacted so. At this time, the two men sitting opposite Arcadio were incompatible with the magnificent room and the elegant owner of the room.
A man far away from the door was as burly as a brown bear. He was wearing a slightly yellowed white shirt on his upper body, and a black vest on the outside. He was tightly tied with only half of the buttons, revealing his chest with thick hair.
He had a black triangle hat on his head, but his head was too large for the hat and his hair was thick, so his messy red hair and half of his head were exposed under the hat.
The red beard, which was consistent with the hair color, almost covered half of his face, but what was inconsistent with his overall sloppy image was that his red beard was greasy and shiny, and the long beard on his chin drooped to his chest.
He looked like he had suffered serious injuries, with several scars crisscrossing on his face, a pair of eye masks on his left eye, a pair of silver prosthetic limbs on his left hand, and an iron hook was pressed on the top of the prosthetic limb.
A triangle cap, a dark eye mask, an iron hooked hand and a big beard, this image is almost exactly the same as the image of the pirate captain in the pirate story Eaton heard when he was a child.
Although the man sitting next to this "pirate captain" is not as "vanguard" as him, his face is not inferior to that of terrifying.
This man was as tall and strong as the "Pirate Captain", but he had gained a lot of weight. He was also dressed in sloppy and had a discolored shirt that could not cover his big belly with thick body hair. It was his face, with severe scalding scars on it, almost covering half of his face, which made him face with a yin and yang head, with messy red hair on one side and a bumpy bald head on the other.
The burned half of the face was also sparse and curled into a shape that could barely be seen as a goatee.
This terrifying man smiled at Eaton when he came in, showing his big yellow teeth. It was as scary as it would be.
This is not the first time these two men have met Eaton, but every time they see each other, I feel uneasy.
Damn pirate! Eaton cursed mentally, but he didn't dare to show it at all. There were several live ammunition guards standing behind Alcateio, and there were two ten hands with sea tower stones on his waist. These people did not exist when Alcateio met with the secretary of the Chamber of Commerce. Obviously, even Alcateio was a little afraid of the two men opposite him.
Eaton covered up his panic and saluted the man in the triangle hat: "Mr. Barbarossa."
He saluted the scar-faced fat man again: "Mr. Heileding."
The two people on the opposite side nodded casually.
