Today, the entire area of ​​Liyue is shining brightly and cloudless. For the people, tourists and merchants in Liyue, this is obviously a great weather for traveling, voyages and business trips. Even if you don’t go to the old calendar, you will know that it is a good day for everything.
Of course, in addition to traveling, long-distance voyage and business trips, other things are also very suitable.
For example...
smuggling?
Just now, outside the sea of ​​Liyue Port, south of Yaoguang Beach, is located from the east of the original coast, and in this quiet sea area northwest of Guyun Pavilion that deviates from the main channel, the flagship "Death Star" of the fleet "Southern Cross" and a medium-sized sailboat are quietly anchoring side by side and stopping here.
At this time, it is not difficult to judge that the thin sailors on the watchtowers of the two ships were constantly watching the surrounding situation with monoculars. They are in a state of high alert, but it is not difficult to judge that they are probably not doing some reasonable and legal business.
‘!
’
‘Boss Beidou!’
‘West!’
‘A speedboat is coming at high speed!’
Not long after, a lookout sailor discovered the situation and shouted at the deck under the mast immediately.
“That’s…”
The speed of the wave boat was indeed very fast. By the time Beidou, the leader of the Southern Cross and the captain of the flagship "Death Star", walked to the bow, the small speedboat that was already driving some element acceleration device, was approaching very close and was retarding urgently.
"snort!"
"Is the rice wife's turtle ship?"
For the "Southern Cross" fleet that can break through the thunder storm on the sea and travel normally between Liyue and Dao Wife's off-island, she will never recognize the short, fat, clumsy and unbearable waves, the small thing that is creeping around the sea like a turtle!
Although that little wave ship has no logo or flag, it is not difficult to judge from some modifications above that are very technologically-style, it is undoubtedly a speedboat belonging to the fools, and there will definitely be no mistakes.
Furthermore, today only fools know about their "Southern Cross" fleet here, and the purpose of that wave ship is so clear, it goes without saying who comes.
"The fools are so smart!"
"Can't even the thunderstorms in the vast ocean stop their infiltration and expansion?"
However, thinking that the fools had indeed penetrated the rice wife, and the situation was still very serious, even the wave ship was transported to Liyue, and it seemed that the energy was not smaller than that of their "Southern Cross" fleet, so Beidou frowned and started to commit suicide with some fear.
Of course, now is not the time to think about that kind of thing!
Because, Beidou saw that when the boat was admitted to their flagship "Death Star", soon, a familiar guy, several bank staff and two bodyguards quickly flipped onto the deck through the rope net.
Among them, what surprised and feared Beidou the most was that even those guys who knew they were employees of Beiguo Bank were all skilled in martial arts. Then, his hand was not worse than some of the elite sailors on her flagship "Death Star"?
However, now is the time to think about things.
Seeing that the group of seven or eight people had all been on the deck and was walking towards the bow of the ship, Beidou hurriedly threw away all the thoughts in his mind, and instead changed to a formulaic smile and greeted him.
"ha!"
"Welcome!"
"I never expected that the famous "Young Master" would come in person, it's such a rare guest!"
While smiling and talking loudly, Beidou did not forget to bow to the young master slightly according to Liyue's etiquette.
"where!"
"I heard from my subordinates that Captain Beidou has a batch of rare goods recently. I happened to be fine recently, so I decided to go this trip."
"Captain Beidou doesn't mind, right?"
Upon hearing this, the young master who was already good at socializing and was also the plenipotentiary ambassador sent to Liyue in Dongguo first made a vague gesture to his subordinates, and then smiled and greeted him.
"alright."
Unfortunately, Beidou suddenly put away his smiling face.
"Stop talking nonsense!"
"Did you bring the money?"
Since this time the transaction was a "special" tight cargo, and the entire Liyue was only available in their Southern Cross fleet, so, with some ideas, Beidou simply performed in his true colors, and did not give the other party any face at all. He directly asked in a cold voice at the eleventh executive officer of the Fool who seemed to want to say something.
At the same time, Beidou did not forget to subconsciously glance at the small sampan on the opposite sea.
The wave ship was very small, and it was the limit to being able to hold seven or eight people, so she didn't think that the rotten wooden boat could hold the same value as her cargo.
"money?"
The young master was slightly stunned, but soon laughed again.
"Of course!"
"Look, Manager Andre of North Bank and Miss Caterina, the counter receptionist, are all here. I brought them all. As long as the goods are fine, we can handle the storage and redemption business on site."
"We are professional, so Captain Beidou doesn't have to worry about this."
After signaling the bank manager and the teller behind him to take two steps forward, the young master said to Beidou with a frosty face with a smile, looking confident and well prepared.
“!
”
However, Beidou didn't buy it.
"Do you think I'm stupid?"
"What we need is cash!"
"It's a box of gold coins!"
She instantly raised her eyebrows and glared at the foolish executive in front of her with her one-eyed eyes full of anger and scolded her, as if she was turning against others if she had a disagreement.
"this……"
"Captain Beidou."
“Depending on the credibility of our North Bank, is there any difference between passbooks and cash payments?”
Although the young master had a embarrassed look on his face, he still disagreed and asked this question with a bit of a bullet and thoughtfulness.
“…”
Unfortunately, Beidou didn't speak, but just continued to stare at the other person with his angry one-eye.
"Okay OK!"
"I'm prepared for the cash, but..."
"Who doesn't know the name of your Southern Cross fleet and the flagship "Death Star"?"
"I'm not so stupid as to bring huge sums of money here. If you rob me at that time, I'll have no place to cry."
"Everyone knows that Lord Beidou is known as the "uncrowned Dragon King". On the sea, even if we fools are, we have to be more cautious."
Seeing that he could not continue to pretend to be stupid, the young master had to show weakness and began to compliment Beidou as much as possible.
Moreover, what he said was not all polite and complimentary words!
You should know that Beidou has a considerable reputation in Liyue.
Although she is slightly inferior to the "Liyue Seven Stars", as long as she is a businessman and a hard-working person in Liyue, she will never be unaware of the name of Beidou and the fleet "Southern Cross".
Faced with such a person, especially the other party, there are all kinds of rumors, such as opening up mountains and seas, showing his power, even though it is quite exaggerated, the young master also knows that the other party's reputation is definitely not a waste. In Liyue, especially on the sea, no matter how cautious he is, it is not an exaggeration.
"snort!"
"So too!"
Although he felt a little proud in his heart, Beidou remained calm and continued to snort coldly:
"You fools are very difficult to deal with!"
"have a look!"
"Even the rice wife's wave boat is brought in. Where else can you fools not reach this continent of Tivat?"
"I'm not at all relieved to you!"
He glanced at the wave boat on the sea again, and then Beidou looked at the wheat-shot, not hiding his thoughts at all and glared at the young master who was still a little hippie.
"Oh my!"
"rest assured!"
"In this sea area of ​​Liyue, we fools will not be enemies of Captain Beidou."
“Besides…”
"This place is near Guyunge Island Group, very close to Liyue Port, and it is your southern cross territory. We should be careful!"
Waving his hand, the young master continued to compliment.
"I hope!"
"Tell me!"
"How do you trade?"
"If you don't have cash, you can go back!"
Beidou was a little impatient and asked in a cold voice.
You should know that this "smuggling" business is not a bargaining in an ordinary dock store. This kind of risky transaction is usually agreed upon beforehand before the price and transaction method. If the other party insists on changing it temporarily, she may have to ask the first mate to lead someone to throw the other party directly into the sea.
"Cash money..."
"no problem!"
"but……"
"We need to inspect the goods first!"
"If the cargo is fine, our ship will arrive within half an hour after receiving the signal, and the money will be settled on the spot!"
"how?"
Seeing that Beidou seemed to have signs of turning against each other, there was no way, the young master had to smile and tell them another plan.
Of course, this other plan was their original plan, and what he just said was just a backup plan he came up with temporarily.
“…”
"High left!"
"go!"
"Take them to the cabin of that ship to inspect the cargo!"
He stared at the smiling young master for a while, and finally, Beidou didn't say much, just waved his hand and shouted to her first mate.
"yes!"
The first mate didn't say much, and then responded and reached out to the young master.
At the same time, the medium-sized sailboat parked side by side with the flagship "Death Star" also brought two long wooden boards at the right time, indicating that the guests on the flagship "Death Star" could go over and inspect the goods.
"very good!"
"You guys go!"
Unfortunately, the young master did not intend to go in person, but waved his hand to signal the two fools behind him, Manager Andre from North Bank and the counter receptionist Ekaterina followed the cabin of the opposite ship to inspect the cargo.
“…”
“…”
“…”
Not long after, under Chongzuo's leadership, the group of people walked to the cargo ship whose deck was much shorter than that of Death Star, and entered the deck one after another, disappearing.
"Ahem!"
"that……"
"Captain Beidou, can you tell me how this batch of goods was obtained?"
Knowing whether those people would come out in a short while, the young master thought about it, then took two steps forward, walked to Beidou and pretended to be familiar with each other and said.
“…”
"Nothing to be told!"
Unfortunately, Beidou still glanced at the other party coldly and gave the other party a back of his head, not wanting to answer that question at all.
"Hello!"
"Don't be so ruthless!"
"Can't you say it?"
The young master was a little unwilling to give up and continued to walk to Beidou with a smile.
“…”
It is true that the other party's tender face, like a young white face and the hippie smiley expression above were very confusing. If it were another woman, maybe she would be really confused?
"overseas!"
However, Beidou did not buy it, but replied briefly with some disgust and disgust.
"overseas?"
“Where is overseas?”
"Rice wife?"
"By the way, we fools also have some business in the rice wife."
"Maybe……"
"Can we help a little?"
The young master continued to laugh and kindly suggested.
However, he would not tell Beidou in front of him: The fools overseas have more than just business. For countless years, they have been secretly funding the rebels and secretly fighting against General Thunder and Lightning.
As for basic penetration, let alone!
The fools had already spread all over the islands of rice wives, and they were afraid they were thinking of ways to kill the general Thunder and Lightning!
Therefore, as long as the other party says a rough place name, he promises that within a month, the detailed information within a radius of hundreds of miles will definitely be placed on his son's head.
“…”
However, Beidou did not speak, but just stared at the other person coldly with his one-eye.
"You've asked too much."
"Nothing to be told!"
Obviously, Beidou is not stupid at all, and directly ruthlessly shattered some of the other party's fantasies.
"All right!"
With his shoulders drooping, the young master's expression collapsed, and he walked aside awkwardly and looked at the sea view, as if he was a little regretful?
“!
”
“Hmm?”
Not long after the two finished their conversation, the young man who was not sure what he was thinking suddenly discovered that Andre, the bank manager who had just been inspecting the goods, and the others were back.
"Young Master!"
"All have been inspected, no problem."
“The number is probably correct.”
As he said that, the Manager Andre from the North Bank came to the young master's ear and reported in a low voice.
They just randomly selected a few boxes for inspection, and even poured out two boxes at random, and then all the boxes were opened, which was undoubtedly the kind of "new coins"!
Each box is about 10,000, which is one hundred million Mora, and a total of twenty boxes, which is a full twenty billion. If it is replaced with old coins, it will be five hundred billion!
With such a big business, it is probably only their North Bank, which has the guaranteed bank of the Soul Kingdom and the Fools, can be eaten. If it is another Liyue Money Bank, even if it can get the money, it will probably not dare to ship it out of Liyue City.
"very good!"
"Send a signal and prepare for the transaction!"
After listening, the young master did not even have the lake and waved his hand directly under Beidou's gaze.
Immediately after receiving the order, the fat fool guard fired a gun into the sky with some kind of gun-like weapon, and then a red firework flew straight into the sky and exploded.
soon!
Perhaps less than a quarter of an hour, a cruising cargo ship of Fools appeared at the sea level in the west and drove slowly and firmly towards them.
...
In this way, after the fools' cargo ship arrived slowly and the Southern Cross fleet was inspected, the people from both sides quickly began formal delivery, and boarded each other's almost identical merchant ship and began to prepare for the evacuation site.
"Young Master!"
Just then, just as the fools were about to leave the Death Signs and board the cargo ship, Beidou suddenly shouted this.
"Um?"
“What’s the point?”
"Did Captain Beidou want to have two drinks?"
"Then I'll go to Liuli Pavilion or Xinyuexuan to set a time?"
"nature!"
"The Zhuxifang is also OK."
The young master turned around and asked with a smile.
This time, the North Bank can make a big profit, and the net profit can be about 10 billion yuan. However, if those profits cannot be obtained, they need to wait and see for a while. At the same time, they fools will use some of them, and the rest will be retained as fixed assets of the North Bank.
In his opinion, the Morala "New Coins" were not false or not, anyway, they could easily be exchanged at a ratio of 1 to 30. But now, they took it down at a exchange rate of 25, which was a 20% profit. He made great contributions this time, so he must have to please Captain Beidou.
"No!"
"What I want to say is..."
Shaking his head, staring at the young master for a while, Beidou hesitated and continued to say:
"That's right!"
"If we still have the goods, can you North Bank still eat it?"
After a pause and thinking about it over and over again, Beidou suddenly asked with the other party's appetite.
"oh?"
"How many more do you have?"
The young master was stunned, frowned slightly, and then he laughed and asked.
"This is indefinite!"
"I want to know more about how much more you can eat!"
Beidou did not answer the other party's question, but still asked back with a sneer as if everyone owed her millions of Mora.
"ha!"
"interesting!"
Now, the young master's eyes at Beidou finally changed a little.
However, he did not rush to express his opinion, but pondered and turned to look at the Guyun Pavilion Island in the distance.
"Say that!"
"Our North Bank will eat as much as you have!"
"nature!"
“As the number increases, the proportion may be reduced?”
"But I can guarantee that no matter how many you have, the ratio we give should not be less than twenty-three!"
"certainly!"
"The specific exchange rate should be seen at the specific situation?"
The young master said this with swearing.
The black market price of those "new coins" has long exceeded 35 and 36, and the standard price given by the fools' alchemists is between 27 and 28. Not to mention lowering the exchange rate, even if it is still 25 in the future, they will make sure to make a profit!
"very good!"
"Then let's just say that!"
Beidou thought about it, reluctantly agreed to the other party’s statement, and signaled that the other party could leave.
"Hello!"
"Captain Beidou!"
“When is the next transaction?”
Not long after, as the ships from both sides gradually moved away, the young man standing at the stern of the cargo ship suddenly waved and asked loudly.
"Our people will inform you then!"
Unfortunately, Beidou still didn't say more.
"Yeah?"
"interesting……"
Seeing the two ships in Beidou gradually fade away, the young master standing at the stern was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and laughed like a self-deprecating person.
He just wanted to judge the time of the other party's fleet from the next trading time to infer the specific source of the Mora, but now it seems that that woman seems to be really difficult to deal with.
But he is not in a hurry. In the future, as the number of transactions increases, he has time and opportunities to inquire slowly, and can also infer some clues through the transaction intervals one after another.
"Let's go!"
"First drive the ship back to our secret port and transport this batch of cargo back to Dong!"
The young master obviously didn't want to bring these sensitive things back to Liyue Port. After all, if Liyue found out, he would have no place to protest if the other party confiscated it!
So, he could only wave and command.
"yes!"
"Subordinate to obey the order!"
Upon hearing this, a fool's guard stood attentively and agreed to the promise and turned around and quickly gave orders.
In this way, on this sunny afternoon, in this hidden sea area northeast of Liyue Port, Liyue's largest smuggling fleet and Liyue's largest spy chief quietly completed their secret transaction.
