While surprised by the financial resources of the Maud Pirates, Keynes did not make a direct conclusion.

With his eyesight, even if he can't estimate the approximate value of this pile of Bailey and gold.

But it is also certain that the amount of this pile of money is definitely more than what he said just now, 400 million.

However, Baotou Adam itself is a shipbuilding material with great price fluctuations.

Many times, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it.

If someone sells out a source of goods in the underground world market and is lucky if you are better off with the pre-order, you might be able to buy it for 200 million to 300 million.

If there is no reservation and channel, and if you are lucky, the purchase price may have to double or even double or three times the exaggerated price due to the tight supply of goods.

After that, it depends on what size of the ship the buyer needs.

Baotou Adam, which was bought for 400 million or 500 million, is enough to build a medium-sized ship.

But if you want a large ship of medium size or above, then you can't get it without a billion.

These budgets do not even count labor costs, transportation costs, design costs, shipbuilding costs, etc.

Simply put, this kind of ship is not something that ordinary pirates can afford.

But a newcomer pirate group that had just entered the great channel has such terrifying capital. This is something that Keynes has never seen and heard of in many years in his career.

However, it is a stupid thing to make a promise easily before the buyer needs are clear.

“It’s enough to buy the materials.”

Keynes suppressed the surging in his heart, maintained a professional smile on his face, and did not say everything.

"I have also explained to you before that Adam Baotou is a rare material that may not be able to buy if you have money."

"Considering the necessary issues such as timeliness and other aspects, if you do not choose to increase the price, the worst case is to wait for the first half of the year, and you may not be able to wait for the source of goods."

"And the base price of Baotou Adam itself is very high. According to your demand for the size of the ship, the ups and downs in budget are calculated in units of 'billions'. Please be mentally prepared for this."

"On this basis, if you make a decision, we can sign the contract directly."

Keynes explained to Maud as much as possible various potential factors brought about by "Treasure Tree Adam".

And what he said was also implicit enough.

In other words, it also expresses a meaning.

That is - your money may not be enough.

If the funding gap cannot be filled in time in the middle and late stages of shipbuilding.

Then, even if the ship is made of rare shipbuilding materials, it may become an "unfinished" ship.

Lafayette heard Keynes's meaning and couldn't help looking at Maud sitting on the sofa.

As a navigator, Lafayette was more eager to own a good ship than anyone else, but he didn't expect that Mod was so willing to spend money and insisted on a ship made by Adam Treasure Tree...

I thought that 600 million yuan was more than enough.

But now it seems that this money may not necessarily meet their needs for ships.

Thinking of this, Lafayette sighed in his heart.

Unfortunately, there is only one good place for spending money like the Dragon Territory in the world.

Mod noticed Lafayette's hesitant gaze and smiled at him, making a gesture of no problem.

Immediately, Maud looked at Cairns and said calmly: "Money is not a problem, but I hope...every cent has to be spent on the place where it should be spent. In addition, there is no problem with the price increase, as long as it is fast enough."

"Okay, then I'll have someone prepare the contract."

Keynes' smile on his face became even stronger, which was a big order.

Maud nodded.

Keynes was very efficient in his work. He got the employees ready for the contract in a few minutes, and sent two middle-aged men with eyes to count the specific value of the pile of Bailey and gold.

In the end, the number obtained was about 630 million.

This number is 30 million more than Mod expected.

Maud picked up the pen and looked at the contract that was placed in front of him.

Lafayette and the others looked at Maud in silence.

Sixteen hundred and thirty million!

This signing means to put out all the funds, and perhaps another amount of funds will be added in the later stage.

And so much money is just to build a ship.

Lafayette looked a little hesitant.

Changing a good ship is something he has been asking for, but he has to spend all the money in it...

This was something he didn't expect.

Originally, he planned to leave about 200 million so that he would use it later.

Before Maud started writing, Lafayette hesitated: "Maud..."

"It's fine."

Maud interrupted Lafayette.

He knew that Lafayette wanted a good ship on the one hand, and on the other hand, he hoped to leave behind a fund to start the plan.

But at this time, there must be some choice.

"I have the best sailors in the world, so I naturally have to be equipped with a top-notch ship."

Maud smiled at Lafayette and then wrote to sign.

Lafayette's expression moved, raised his hand and gently pressed the brim of his hat, covered his gaze, and then tapped the ground a few times.

Jaya glanced at Lafayette, who was excited.

A few seconds later, Maud finished signing and felt a little moved.

Sixty-three million...

He felt the pleasure of krypton gold, and at the same time, he was quite looking forward to the results brought by this money.

Seeing Maud signing the contract, Keynes was incredibly happy.

A young and promising big customer like Mode will probably never meet a second one in his life.

Keynes thought silently in his heart.

After that, it was the ship's design problem.

Thomas Shipyard has a quirky designer who designed the Mobi Dick for the Whitebeard Pirates.

According to Maud's needs for the best of everything, Keynes recommended this designer over 70 years old to Maud.

"Mr. Maud, Edward is the best designer in our shipyard, but he has a bad temper. If there is something to offend you later, please bear with me."

"good."

Maud nodded.

Keynes was worried, afraid that Edward's strange temper would provoke Maud, so he said a few more words.

In response to this, Maud's reaction was plain and he did not respond to Keynes's words, at most he nodded in response.

He doesn't care what strange temper the old designer named Dehua would have.

The designer's resume of designing the MobileDick for the Whitebeard Pirates is enough to make him look at the results and not the process.

Before going to meet Edward, Maud asked Jaya and the others to stay in the VIP room and only brought Lafayette.

Thomas Shipyard is very big, and Edward likes to be quiet and places the studio in a remote location.

So, Maud and his team walked for fifteen minutes before they arrived at the studio.

When he came outside the studio, Cairns gently knocked on the door.

More than ten seconds passed, and there was no response inside.

Cairns gave Maud and Lafayette an apologetic look, and then knocked on the door a few more times.

It was only after several consecutive times that the door was violently opened.

Inside the door, there was an old man less than 1.5 meters tall, with a chicken coop on his head and reading glasses.

Buzz...

Five or six thumb-sized flies hovered above the head of the sexually greasy chicken coop.

As the door opened, a sour smell came to my nose.

Edward looked angry and even held an axe in his hand.

After seeing Cairns, the anger on Old Edward's face was slightly restrained.

After all, he is the son of the boss, and he has watched him grow up since childhood.
