Pirate Merchant

After the hard work of resisting the rainstorm, the delicious meal made by Mu Qian made everyone lie on the ground contentedly after drinking and eating, feeling full as if they were in heaven.

Even as an extremely proud chef, Sanji kept talking to his companions about the professional evaluation of those delicacies, and kept praising Mu Qian for opening a door of food for him. Before meeting Mu Qianlu, Sanji Zhi had never thought that ingredients could do this.

"I can barely see the whiskey mountain, so, Miss.Wednesday, do you have anything to tell me?"

When Luffy and his party were either sitting on chairs chatting, or lying on the ground resting with their bellies bulging, Mu Qian, who left the cabin and stood at the bow to confirm the route, turned his head and asked Weiwei who was walking towards him with a smile.

"Should I call you Mr. Antonio, or should I call you Mr. Mu? There are two names among a group of companions. You are really a strange person."

Wei Wei, who walked to Mu Qian's side, asked Mu Qian curiously.

"Please feel free, both titles can represent 'I', and I am happy to accept these two titles."

Mu Qian nodded gracefully and calmly and replied to Weiwei who is a princess, his natural temperament made Weiwei wonder whether he was some great nobleman.

"Then, Mr. Mu, I am willing to pay you 20 million Berry for your 'deal' of being able to rain. After you arrive in the Kingdom of Alabasta, can you please rain immediately?"

Weiwei shook her head and asked Mu Qian with a serious expression after putting aside distracting thoughts.

"Of course, for me, my reputation is far more important than my own life, but please pay me an advance payment of five million Berry before I rain. After all, the transaction is two-way, and I am guaranteeing At the same time as my reputation, you must also guarantee your reputation, right?"

Mu Qian raised his brows, he didn't expect that Wei Wei would take the initiative to find him so soon, at this moment, he suppressed the excitement and ecstasy in his heart, and said to Wei Wei very calmly.

"Five Million Berries"

Weiwei was stunned by Mu Qian's words.

Although five million Berry was nothing to her before, but now she was penniless after being an undercover agent for two years, and she was completely unable to pay five million Berry.

"Actually, I am Neferutali Vivi, the princess of the Kingdom of Alabasta. If you are willing to bring rain to the residents of the Kingdom of Alabasta, I will spend my whole life thanking you."

Weiwei pursed her lips, then leaned over to kneel under Mu Qian's surprised expression, and begged Mu Qian with a trembling voice.

"Get up first, Princess Weiwei, I don't need the gratitude of your life, all I need is 20 million Berry, since you have confessed to me, then, we can use 24 interest-free loans Berry in a way to settle this transaction."

Before Weiwei had time to kneel down, Mu Qian quickly grabbed her arm and offered her a solution.

"Twenty-four interest-free loans?"

Weiwei, who had never heard of financial vocabulary, looked at Mu Qian with tears in her eyes and asked in doubt.

"Ah, you borrowed money from me and paid me 1,666,666.67 berries every month, but the only requirement is that you are not allowed to return all the berries to me in advance."

Mu Qian took out a small notebook from his pocket, and then used the method of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to give Weiwei a simple calculation of 40 million Berry, and explained the repayment method of the 24-month interest-free loan in a simple and clear manner. .

"You lend me money, and then let me hire you to rain? And it's still interest-free???"

Weiwei's eyes became suspicious. Although she didn't understand finance, she felt that Mu Qian was trying to trick her.

"You will think that I am lying to you, right? However, if I can sell you a favor, I will definitely be able to give the green light to do business in the Kingdom of Alabasta in the future. This is a convenience that Bailey cannot bring. Of course, I'm not the kind of person who will force others, if you don't want to, princess, I will never force you to agree to a loan."

Mu Qian explained his true purpose to Wei Wei with a smile.

"Of course, regarding my products and character, after all the 'events' are over, I can take you, princess, to the East China Sea to see the brick factory, orange garden, school and kendo field I built, and then consider whether you want to compete with me. Business cooperation."

Although Weiwei doubted herself very much, Mu Qian said to her indifferently, after all, Weiwei had absolutely no reason to reject herself.

Leaving aside the fact that her country was always in drought, even post-war reconstruction would require massive amounts of bricks and limes to earn billions of berry wealth, and he didn't care about the 20 million berry that rained.

Moreover, the Kingdom of Alabasta itself is a powerful kingdom. As long as you get on the thigh of the kingdom and the king introduces you to the navy, then you can rely on the few 'gifts' you gave to the navy before, and you should You can buy sea stones to install on the bottom of the ship. Using the insensitivity of sea kings to sea stones, ordinary merchant ships can also trade goods in the four seas through the windless area.

"I can't seem to refuse your offer."

Weiwei smiled wryly and covered her forehead. She was not surprised at this kind of important negotiation concerning national affairs, and she began to feel scared.

"Please don't feel embarrassed. Everyone has the right to choose. The nationwide rainfall can be discussed later. We can give priority to the pilot rainfall in the hardest-hit areas, and then you and the king will decide. Mutual respect is the first condition of the transaction. , if I unilaterally persecute you, it would be disrespectful to you, and it is not in line with my principles."

Mu Qian looked at the whiskey mountain that was getting closer and closer, comforted Weiwei who was smiling wryly, and told Weiwei his trading principles.

"Thank you for your understanding. I will seriously consider this loan."

Under Mu Qian's comfort, Weiwei clasped her hands on her chest, bowed seriously and said to Mu Qian.

"Hmph, he's still a bastard who beat around the bush, should he really be worthy of being the chief?"

I don't know when he came out of the cabin, and Sauron, who was resting on the deck with his back against the deck, closed his eyes and complained to Mu Qian in a low voice.

"Yeah, it's a guy who beats around the bush, but is this girl who talks about herself doing bad things really a princess?"

Nami, who was standing beside Sauron with her back against the deck fence, folded her hands on her chest, squinted at Wei Wei who entered the cabin, and asked Sauron beside her with a slightly dissatisfied tone.

"How do I know? Ask her yourself."

Because Nami punched three times on the head with the power of subjugation during dinner at night, all Sauron responded to Nami with extreme annoyance.

"Forget it, hey, Luffy, Usopp, Sanji, come out and get ready, we're going to land soon, you pigs are so delicious! I need to buy more supplies this time!"

Feeling inexplicably unhappy, Nami, who was stunned by Sauron again, turned into a ghost and yelled at the three people who were still resting in the kitchen, clenching her fists like a big sister who would beat anyone who dared to come out too late.
