250 Merchant Victor

"Poor 'Wind Chime'... Of course I know that since the Moon Mill Night, the sea has not been as calm as before. It is said that many sea monsters will attack small merchant ships passing by... But I really didn't expect that even the strong merchant ships of the Jincheng Wall Family could not withstand their attacks!"

"Who do you blame? I heard that even the Kingdom fleet suffered heavy losses against the sea tribe. One out of ten warships was left. The Maritime Minister wrinkled all his words about this matter, just to rebuild the fleet! I thought about it with my feet, and I knew that since even warships were not safe, how could ordinary merchant ships have been safe?"

"It's too late to say anything now. I have a lot of valuable cargo on that ship. The loss is too great... I heard that the Jincheng Wall family will compensate me, and I hope it will make me feel better..."

"Compensation? If you think too much, they are also businessmen, not philanthropists!"

"I just think that the Jinchengmu family is so rich, it's okay to just want to do it..."

In a tavern on Xishi Street, people whispered, talking about the recent explosive news - a large merchant ship of the Jinchengmang family sank!

While drinking, Victor was depressed and listened to the people around him talking.

He was a businessman, but not a carriage merchant, but a water merchant, and the kind that had just started his business... Like the whining man just now, he did not have his own merchant ship, so he could only take other people's ships to transport goods! He paid a considerable amount of water bill, and the remaining profit was pitifully small.

What they fear most is the sinking of the ship! Once the sinking may take one or two years in vain. If they are on the ship, they may even lose their lives.

Fortunately, because of the small profit, Victor even couldn't bear to take a boat with the goods. The weight of an adult man had to pay even more than a large box of goods! After he moved the goods onto the Fengling in the Western Region Garden City this time, he came from the capital by land with the caravan merchants' caravans, and only spent two silver jacks throughout the journey.

Unexpectedly, I escaped...

But at this moment, Victor didn't have the heart to be glad for his luck. His mind was filled with the words mentioned by the guy who had lost his goods just now - "The Golden City Wall Family may be compensated!"

Logically speaking, if the goods are lost, the ship owner should compensate! But if the ship sinks and the ship owner dies, the matter will be left unresolved... However, the Fengling Ship this time is different. It is the ship of the Jinchengmu family. The Jinchengmu family is the richest family in the mainland. If you can run away, you can't run away from the temple, you may really have compensation!

[Would you like to go to the Jincheng Wall's business to make a fuss...]

After drinking countless cups, Victor was thinking about this idea and stumbled away from the tavern.

Suddenly he ran into someone head-on, and spitted it on the other person's pants with a "wow"!

"Yes, I'm sorry..." The merchant quickly took a humble attitude, but when he looked up, he saw the family badge on the visitor's chest, and he was shocked and the wine immediately woke up most of the time!

That is the family emblem of the Jincheng Wall Family! The pattern is a winding city wall made of gold bricks, which looks solid and luxurious, and it is blinding the eyes...

How could a businessman not recognize this badge?

This man is a middle-aged man with a bucket waist, gorgeous clothes and tall figure, but his expression is quite kind. Seeing Victor's embarrassing appearance, he smiled indifferently: "Do you know where the tavern on Xishi Street is? I heard that nearby merchants like to drink there the most, and I have something to look for them."

"What's the matter..." Victor blinked, and deliberately pushed his chest out, allowing the other party to see the small boat badge with the golden leaves on his chest as sails. It was the badge of the Waterway Merchant Association.

"The Fenglings sink, our Jincheng Wall family will bear all the losses." The man smiled kindly, "Okay, I saw your badge... You are also a waterway merchant? Do you also have goods on the Fenglings? Please tell me what it is and how many boxes there are, and our family will fully compensate you."

"Full compensation?" Victor was startled!

But he quickly became excited and subconsciously opened his mouth: "I have three boxes... Uh, wait, does your Jincheng Wall family have no list of Fengling's cargo packing?"

"No! Just a ship, how much is a whole ship of gold worth? It's nothing to us." The visitor smiled.

Victor swallowed hard, his eyes almost bulged out, and his fingers shivered a little.

"That..." he whispered, "It's like that. The goods I packed on the Wind Chime are three boxes of good pearls... I am Victor. You can ask in Garden City. I also do pearl business..."

"Three boxes of pearls are there?" The middle-aged rich man waved his hand, "No need to worry! Tell me your address directly, I'll find someone to send it to you!"

Victor was ecstatic when he heard this and stuttered: "Thank you, thank you! I, I live here..."

... Half an hour later.

At his residence, Georgia stared at the three boxes of white flowers and shiny pearls that were opened in front of him, and poured himself a large cup of strong tea to drink, and then slapped himself in the face crazily.

He was afraid that it was a dream.

In fact, he is in the craft business! He mainly carpets and woven wall hangings, which are specialized in Zhucheng, the Western Regions. This thing is light in weight and has little water payment. When it comes to Carl Wangting, he can sell it to the rich people who don’t know the goods! He does do it in the pearl business, but it is just a sporadic embellishment on many knitted fabrics...

He did have three boxes of cargo on the Wind Chime, but three boxes of braided fabric, and the pearls on them were no more than one hundred.

And these three boxes of good pearls...there are at least tens of thousands of them?

If sold, it will be more than all the money Victor has earned in the past five years!

What's important is that you get it without any difficulty...

"Golden Wall Family." Victor murmured the word, "The richest family in the continent, claiming to be a brick in the basement of the family castle is made of gold..."

"Indeed, if the legend is true, then these three boxes of pearls are nothing to them, and even filling the Wind Chime with gold is not worth mentioning to them..."

"Damn it, I still said it was less!"

"If I lost three boxes of gold..."

"Wait?" Victor was stunned suddenly, "The man did not have a packing list, which means he didn't know how many boxes I had. The three boxes were said by myself... If I said a few more boxes..."

"Before parting, the man seemed to have said something specifically, if there is any problem, go to the tavern to find him as soon as possible tonight?" Victor suddenly stood up, and his chair fell to the ground. He seemed to have not realized it, and a smile quickly appeared on his face and knocked his head hard, "My head is really confused! It is obviously five boxes... no, it is ten boxes of goods..."

"Ten boxes of gold..."

Victor hurriedly left and rushed to the tavern on West City Street.
Chapter completed!
