In the dim tavern, Link was no longer the only businessman, but a large number of people gathered around each table in the tavern.
Among these people, some are dressed like gangsters, some don't look like good people, and some smile like serious businessmen.
They represented the underground world of Rogue Town, and were guided by the news brought by Link. They all gathered in this tavern, whispering there, making the dark tavern that had been silent for a long time burst with the vitality it once had.
This kind of tavern should look like this.
At this time, Link was touching a seal ring on his finger, with a nostalgic look in his eyes, and said: "I used to be a noble, but I fell into decline. This seal ring is the symbol of my family. The person who gets it is my enemy. I..."
"Stop, stop, stop. I don't have time to listen to your story. Hurry up and bid." Sager waved his hands, not wanting to listen to his nonsense.
This seal ring is the item Link specifically requested, and it comes from a wealthy noble in Rogue Town.
Sager asked Lily to run a trip and get the seal ring back, and also rob the nobleman's house of treasures.
This seal ring is very simple, and its commemorative significance is greater than its practical significance. Link gave it one million Baileys as a reward.
The middleman is very rich!
As for whether the item is authentic, that depends on whether the noble has fakes. Sager is not responsible for authenticity. The customer has to see it for himself. He is only responsible for selling it.
As he spoke, the noisy tavern suddenly fell silent. Everyone looked at each other. Link, as the representative, held up a finger and said, "One billion Baileys. This is all the money that our eighteen black market merchants can raise!"
This number can be considered huge no matter where you put it.
"One billion?" Sager curled his lips, obviously dissatisfied.
"That's enough, Sager! You only have half a day, and you may not be able to collect the 1 billion Baileys worth of goods."
Link said, "Since we can specify the goods, weapons, gunpowder, medicine, jewelry and gold are what we need first. We need to re-evaluate the other goods. As for food and clothes, we need them the least. After we grab them, just send them out of the range of Rogue Town. We will send people to take over."
With 50% of the cost price, they can earn huge profits by taking some risks. It is easy for them to make a judgment when all the navy responsible for blocking the port have fainted and the existing navy is unable to stop the Calamity Pirates.
This matter was also approved by all members.
"It's better to make some money than nothing. After I take away enough supplies for the voyage, I will give the rest to you. As for the jewels and gold, you can get as much as you take."
Sager stood up, raised his glass, and said to everyone: "I wish our cooperation goes smoothly!"
Everyone stood up and raised their glasses. After everyone had finished drinking, Sager laughed and said to the owner at the bar: "Old man! The wine is good. I hope you're not dead next time I come!"
After that, he took Lily out of the pub.
The purpose has been achieved, there is no point in staying any longer.
It wasn't until they reached the street that Lily couldn't help asking, "Sager, can they be trusted?"
"Of course merchants need credibility, especially black market merchants. Without credibility, they are worthless. Don't worry, no one will joke about your future."
Sager said, and laughed again: "Lily, my plan is perfect, right? Coming to Rogue Town, not only can I resupply supplies here, but I can also make a lot of money. This is much better than ordinary robbery! When I get to the new world and have enough funds, I can realize my dream of becoming a big landlord!"
"Then isn't it enough to just have the territory?" Lily was puzzled.
"Superficial! Just having a piece of land is not enough. Landlords are not that simple."
Sager opened his hands, "Listen carefully, Lily. Even a king has many things that he cannot decide. The so-called king is just a poor rich guy trapped in a castle, who thinks he is in control of everything."
"But the landlord is different. The landlord is the master of the land. Everything belongs to the landlord! And the landlord I want to be should own everything on the land that belongs to me!"
"Finance, news, warehousing, agriculture, or commerce, as long as it is something that should exist on the land, it will exist on my land, and I will definitely rule it! Everything belongs to me, and no matter who it is, they will eventually serve me!"
He clenched his fist and bared his teeth, "But you can't steal those things. You can only make them yourself. To do this, you need more funds. As long as I have enough money, I can realize my ultimate dream. Do you understand, Lily?"
No matter what profession he chooses, Sag wants to fulfill his dream of becoming a landlord by becoming the top of that profession.
If you want to exploit people, you have to have something to exploit, right?
He is not interested in being a chieftain or something like that. If he wants to be a landlord, he wants to be the richest landlord, to have everything, to have everything better than others, and it would be best if everything is at the top and belongs to him. This is his ambition!
Fishing and farming, it is certainly right to live a relaxed life, but he wants to use the most expensive fishing rod to catch the world's biggest fish, and he wants to use a golden hoe to farm the best land. Relaxed, of course, is to enjoy the world's top service!
Just like the saying "If it doesn't work out, go back to the countryside to farm", the feeling of ordinary people saying this is completely different from that of billionaires.
He is the former now, but he wants to be the latter!
Looking at the excited Sager, Lily opened her mouth, but hesitated to speak. After thinking for a long time, she said: "This doesn't seem that simple."
"Of course it's not that simple, so we have to take it step by step. We don't have the territory yet. We haven't even entered the Grand Line, let alone the New World." Sager laughed.
No, I'm not referring to the Grand Line.
It's a matter of bad luck.
It seemed that Sager had money at the beginning, but he became penniless because he wanted to start a business.
With this luck, if you really want to start a business,
maybe simply buying a piece of land would make it easier to achieve your goal.
Lily pursed her lips, but ultimately didn't say it out loud.
Because I feel like there's no point in saying it out.
"Come on, Lily, let's see what the boys have grabbed."
Sager laughed and took Lily to the prosperous place of Rogue Town.
At this time, Rogue Town became more and more lively. The doors of all the shops on the commercial street were broken down. The goods inside had their own ideas and did not want to be imprisoned by the windows anymore. They broke free from their cages and rushed into the arms of freedom.
Similarly, the treasures and Baileys in the rich areas did not want to be buried in dark safes and storage rooms. They wanted to circulate freely in the world, so they called for the messenger of justice and were taken out.
The pirates robbed one loot after another, stuffed them into boxes or barrels, and ran excitedly towards the ships in the port.
"Captain! Captain!"
When several pirates saw Sager, they ran over excitedly. Leading them was the three-meter-tall mute who was the first one Sager recruited in the Bridge Kingdom.
At this moment, he was dancing with excitement, pointing at something. The other pirates showed him a cloak, and one of them shouted, "Captain! This is something good we found. Here we present it to you, Captain!"
This is a fur cape, very long, reaching all the way to Sager's calves. It is black in color, but there is a hint of scarlet at the tip of the fur. I don't know what material it is made of, but it looks very exquisite.
It looks expensive at first glance!
Sager's eyes lit up, he took the cloak and put it on, "Not bad, I like it very much!"
It just so happened that when he was fighting with Garp, the 'Jianshan Cape' that he had seized from Krieg was gone, and now he had replaced it with a valuable fur cape, which was in line with his status.
"here you go!"
Sager praised them and continued, "Put more important supplies on the ship. When the ship is full, put the remaining things outside of Rogue Town. I just negotiated a deal and someone will buy our goods on the spot."
"So everyone, work hard. How much money you can get depends on you. The more you work, the more you get. Go quickly and tell others about this."
"Yes! Captain!" Several pirates responded and ran away quickly to deliver the message.
"So I like these people, they are motivated and have strong willpower."
Sager pointed at the pirates who were running away and smiled, but he was suddenly stunned. A red dot flashed inexplicably in his pupils, and he subconsciously looked towards the port.
"Oh yeah"
"Sager?" Lily asked curiously.
"There's a group of people coming to stop us. The timing doesn't seem right. Are they the reinforcements they called for because of those little pirates?"
Sager shook his head and smiled, heading towards the port, "Let's go, Lily, let's go back to the port. I don't need anyone to stop me from making a fortune now!"
