Two Hundred and Forty Sixth Sense of Crisis

Once there is a sense of crisis, Earl Galvez's thinking and execution ability will become amazing.

On the second day, the 900 rifles, 200 pistols and 12 light guns that were missing in the contract were sent to the warehouse rented by Lorraine by a group of strange workers.

Along with the guns came a young and proud clerk with his head held high, and brought Lorraine a long-term supply contract.

The content of the contract did not bring Lorraine too many surprises.

The supplier is the dealer of Queen Mary, who holds 30% of the smuggled materials, and the operation mode is in the original subcontracting state. He has goods on hand at any time, and Lorraine's demand is rare for him.

The supply cycle is 45 days, which is consistent with the Baltimore contract cycle. The prices were also as Lorraine had expected, using the so-called market standard, the purchase price of the old Baltimore contract.噺⒏⑴The full text of the text is the fastest んττρs:/м.χ八⑴zщ.còм/

In all honesty, such behavior borders on blackmail.

The difference between the ex-works price and the final selling price of the gun is the profit. In the case of Charleville, the profit for a single gun is fifty-four pounds.

In the normal transaction chain, it is obviously impossible for this price difference to be monopolized by one company.

Lorraine and Earl adopted the special cooperation of goods first and money later, and the share ratio was 40% to 60%. The Drake Chamber of Commerce took 40%, and Earl independently assumed the economic risks before settlement.

The mainstream smuggling is the other way around.

Because the suppliers are unwilling to bear any risks in the transaction, and generally do not engage in franchising, smugglers often ask for 50% or 60% of the profits, and even 70% for those particularly high-risk routes.

Lorraine didn't know how the earl talked with the dealer, but it is conceivable that he would definitely not disclose the content of the new contract.

If it is limited to the old contract, Earl's rhetoric is very limited. All he can say is that the purchaser has a greater demand and needs to transfer part of the supply from outside.

If it is only once, it is natural for the mediator to occupy all the interests. But now it is a long-term supply contract, even if the identity of the earl's agent and the face of the earl of Louisiana are not considered, a reasonable profit sharing is still necessary.

So, this pricing is interesting.

Carmen flipped through the contract with her little finger up, her pretty nose wrinkled slightly.

"The dealer...Carlton von Habsburg?" She couldn't hide the strangeness on her face, "It turns out that even the most famous family will give birth to idiots."

Lorraine yawned lazily: "That lady is the daughter of Habsburg, I think holding the money bag in my hands can make her feel at ease."

"Short-sighted business philosophy." Carmen concluded unceremoniously, "It's just my chairman, why did you tease the Earl in Baton Rouge? He can't replace blood trust, and even if it does, it won't do us any favors." There are too many benefits."

"Because...the earl is a fighter."

Looking at the increasingly full warehouse, Lorraine smiled.

"The earl is an excellent man, wise, reliable, and good at manipulating people's hearts. This can be seen from the defense of New Orleans."

"But he has a big flaw, his character is weak, and he is stealthy. When there is no external threat, he is too easy to fall. We are dancing on the tightrope in the Atlantic Ocean. He is actually busy managing his new estate, and he still does it himself."

"Such a person can't be our barrier."

"So I gotta cheer him up,

Collect a lot of money and do something useful. "

He leaned closer to Carmen, smelling the refreshing fragrance, and clicked on a certain line of the contract.

Carmen looked curiously.

"The settlement period is 60 days, and the overdue is increased by 1.7% per day, and the rolling interest is calculated?"

"Privilege of goods first and money later." Lorraine shrugged, "Look, our earl still has face. If it weren't for him, who would let the great Habsburg take risks for mere smuggling?"

...

While Lorraine was busy running for the source of goods, the other people on board were not idle either.

New Orleans is a city of liberty, where the lights are red, the wine is green, and the desire is empty.

The most common shop here is the bar, whether it is a high-end liquor store with clean windows or a smelly underground tavern, you can see it everywhere in the streets and alleys of this town.

[Daydream of Barambas] is an underground bar, located in an inconspicuous dark alley, operating an inconspicuous business.

At night, Bell pushed open the swing door of the bar, pushed away the drunken conversation all the way, and sat straight to the empty seat at the bar.

"A glass of rum mixed with two spoonfuls of tomato juice and a spoonful of salt."

The bartender raised his eyebrows and looked over: "Guest, this is the first time I've heard of this drinking method. It was invented by the French?"

"Invented by lions."

The waiter quickly came up and took him into a semi-enclosed booth in the corner of the bar. Someone came earlier than him, and looked at him, it turned out to be Sergeant Amani who was on guard for Shaq in Plymouth.

Of course, now he has been promoted to the captain of the assault boat on the Lion, even the rank of captain.

Seeing that he was an old acquaintance, Bell immediately revealed his true colors, threw his body on the sofa, and smashed his boots on the round table with a snap: "Captain Amani, why did the admiral send you here?"

Amani scratched her head shyly.

"A few days ago, the admiral received a letter from the major from the No. 3 formation. Because the Lion is still at sea, there are not many people around who can use it for private affairs, so I was chosen..."

"Hey, in order to get hold of the fleet as soon as possible, did you spill all the old people out?"

"If it weren't for this, you wouldn't be able to get in touch with the admiral so quickly."

"It's also..." Bell retracted his legs helplessly, "Let's talk about the business first, Lorraine secretly participated in the arms smuggling to the Continental Army. The scale is very large. I heard... all the sea goods were taken away."

∑(?〇О〇): "He... treason?"

"It can't be called treason, right? The smuggler in name is a Louisiana farmer named Edward Kenway, who has nothing to do with Lorraine Drake."

"shield?"

"No, Edward is himself."

ヽ(#`Д′)?: "Isn't that treason!"

"Fake identities, black ships, and beautiful disguises." Bell picked his ear in disgust, "As long as he is not caught, who can compare a sneaky smuggler and Lefranco, who has been the most popular recently? Wa Yingxiong contacted, false accusation?"

"This..." Amani's mind was a little confused, "Lorraine Drake participated in smuggling, and single-handedly took over the most feared continental army line... The recent core defense of the admiral happened to be to strictly investigate smuggling. Could it be that , the admiral has known about Lorraine Drake for a long time, and the purpose of strictly investigating the smuggling is to persuade him to change his ways?"

Bell was stunned for a moment.

He sighed greatly: "Anyway, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, you go to the Port Authority to transfer a Spanish merchant ship named Jackdaw, which is Lorraine's smuggling ship."

"The registered owner's name is Donna Linka, the alias of the great Spanish pirate Caterina Dibo, and her current identity is Lorraine's first mate."

"New Orleans is going to have a permanent liaison. I'll send a message before each sailing. The next sailing will be at 8:30 tomorrow morning."

"According to the plan, the one-way trip from here to Baltimore takes 11 days, and the outbound journey generally does not exceed 8 days, normally 7 days. The admiral can arrange defense according to this time."

Speaking of this, Bell's eyes suddenly sharpened: "Amani!"

"exist!"

"The issue between the Drake brothers is very complicated. Even if you are a confidant, I advise you not to get involved easily. Your task is to convey and pass on my information to the admiral. You don't need to ask about the admiral's affairs."

"Yes!" Amani was terrified by Bell's sight. He was a strong and strong man, and his voice trembled, "What if... Major, what if the admiral asks my opinion?"

"Did you see what happened to me? It was because of talking too much. I ate the soil in Lucy's plantation for a whole month, and it almost became the fertilizer of alpine coffee beans... This is very dangerous for brothers, you have to learn to be loyal Geng Geng, keep your distance."

"Yes... yes! Major!"

More than an hour later, the drunk Bell staggered out of the bar and disappeared at the end of the dark alley.

After a long time, Henna's whisper came from the shadow of the bar roof.

"Come to the same bar at the same time for two consecutive days, and there is no strange itinerary other than that."

"It seems that next time Desai and Solander have to take up a little time, Bel Judea, I always feel that he is hiding something..."
