Pirates: Beginning with the Patrolman
Chapter 96
Money is a bastard, we can earn it after we spend it, Remos deeply agrees with this concept.
Of course, the premise is that he can still make money. If he can't make money or it is difficult to make money, that's another story.
As a result, less than ten minutes after the two left the Carrera Shipyard, they turned back and found Barry, the actual person in charge of the dock, the vice president of Carrera Company, and one of the five foremen of the No. 1 dock.
"Do you want to build a ship?"
Barry held a cigar in his mouth and looked at Remos and Nami curiously, wondering why they suddenly changed their minds.
"That's right, this ship is too old, and it was a second-hand ship when we bought it. It has been covered with hidden injuries along the way. Fortunately, we are lucky and made some money, so we want to buy a new ship from you, preferably a newly built one... Don't you do this business?"
Remos nodded and asked suddenly.
"Of course, why not make money?"
Barry smiled, "But I have to make it clear in advance, building a new ship is not cheap. I know you also towed a pirate ship when you came, but even if you add both ships, I guess you can't exchange for a brand new one."
"We know this, you don't have to worry about the money, is 500 million berries enough?"
Nami put her hands on her hips and said with great momentum.
"Ahem... enough, enough."
Barry was startled and was about to take a puff of cigarette, but he choked himself.
"To be precise, it's 600 million berries, but we have another request. I heard that there is a very expensive wood called Treasure Tree Adam. I hope you can use this wood to help us build a new ship."
Remos added beside him.
Treasure Tree Adam, one of the most precious woods on the sea, is sold on the black market.
"Adam tree? This kind of wood is not cheap. According to the specifications of your current ship, the material alone may cost 200 million berries. Are you sure you want to use this kind of wood? And I want to remind you that if you use this kind of wood, the construction period will be extended a lot." Barry frowned and reminded. The extension of the construction period means that the labor cost will also increase. "It seems that we have enough money. Let's use this kind of wood. We have to continue sailing next. The ship cannot be weak." Remos still knows the importance of saving and spending. "Okay, as long as you are willing to pay, these are not a problem. Let's do this. Come over to see the drawings and pay the deposit in two days. I will help you find out the news about Adam tree." Barry said happily. Such a big deal, the client has no problem, so he will naturally not refuse. And as a top shipbuilder, he also has his own professional pursuits, and naturally hopes to build a world-class ship from his own hands. Therefore, although the money was spent by Remos and Nami, and the ship was built for them, Barry himself might be more concerned about this matter.
After Barry left, Nami looked at the Freedom in front of her with a sigh.
"This old friend is finally leaving us."
She gently stroked the hull, recalling her experiences during this period. To be honest, Nami still felt like she was in a dream.
Originally, she was a penniless thief who relied on deceiving pirates to save money to buy her own village. As a result, she met Remos and got on his ship in a daze.
Not only did she save the village, but she also became a fruit ability user, defeated the Seven Warlords of the Sea and the God of Sky Island with Remos, and established a good relationship with the navy heroes and admirals.
Half a year ago, she would not have dared to think about this kind of thing.
In this series of experiences, the Freedom accompanied her for 80% of the time. Now that they suddenly have to part, she is still reluctant.
"That's normal. All good things must come to an end. The old ship will eventually fail. We must change to a new ship."
Remos didn't feel bad. It was just a ship.
He had also imagined whether a ship spirit would appear on his ship. It turned out that he thought too much.
Ship spirits would only appear when the crew members took great care of the ship, such as the Golden Sunny of Luffy and his crew. Because that ship was given by Kaya, Usopp's love for the ship almost surpassed his own. Therefore, the ship spirit was stimulated, and he was repeatedly helped and protected by the ship spirit in his later adventures.
Remos couldn't do Usopp's level, so he didn't even think about the ship spirit.
"But Remos, I have a question..."
Nami spoke in a low voice.
"What do you say?"
Remos looked at him sideways.
"You said... you spent all the money. How are we going to live next? What do we eat and drink?Northwest wind!!!"
Nami suddenly jumped up, grabbed Remos's neck, and shook him hard.
She originally said 500 million, hoping to keep 100 million in her hands, but Remos directly told her everything, and 600 million berries were gone, all of which became the funds for buying ships.
The ship was bought for herself, and Nami didn't feel bad about spending money, but the problem was that the money was gone, how would she live in the future? It was not easy to come to the Seven Water City, and she didn't have time to go shopping and spend properly!
"Ahem... No, it doesn't matter, we actually have backup funds..."
Remos was dizzy from being shaken, and quickly raised his hand and said.
"What?"
Nami stopped immediately and looked at him suspiciously.
Remos rubbed his neck and smiled confidently.
"Have you forgotten the specialties we collected along the way? ”
Let’s not talk about the fish, shrimp and beef, which are not worth much in the Seven Waters.
The specialties brought from Alabasta are worth some money, after all, Alabasta is a bit far from here.
But according to the sailing direction of the Grand Line, every ship traveling on this route goes to Alabasta first and then to the Seven Waters, so the specialties of the Desert Kingdom are valuable, but not that valuable.
Therefore, Remos’s direction is already very clear-the shells of Sky Island!
That thing is almost never seen in Qinghai. It is a strange creature that can only appear in the environment of Baibai Sea. Even Nami, who can create island clouds and sea clouds, can’t cultivate these shells artificially.
“Let’s keep some of those shells for life and sell all the others. Keep a set of shells for combat in case of emergency, and the others can also be sold.”
Remos explained.
“Oh, right, I forgot about it! "
Nami's eyes lit up instantly.
They were the great benefactors of Sky Island. Before they left, the residents of Sky Island gave them a large number of shells, most of which were living shells, and only a small number of combat shells.
Later, in order to thank them for stopping the war, the Shandians took the initiative to give them a complete set of combat shells.
This set of combat shells must not be sold, even if it is a collection, it must be kept.
But there is no problem with the shells given by other Sky Island residents. Anyway, they can't use so many living shells at all, and the new ship will definitely add various marine equipment, so the main purpose of these living shells is also Basically, there is only a souvenir left.
These things are definitely scarce. After all, in the past few hundred years, there are no more than ten people who have been recorded to have landed on Sky Island.
Before this, except for the Pirate King Roger and his party, most of the people who arrived at Sky Island by chance or on purpose were killed by Enel.
Remos and his party were the first group of people who successfully landed on the island and left after Roger.
No one has left safely for so many years, so naturally no one has brought down the specialties of Sky Island. Scarcity makes things valuable. This is undoubtedly a good opportunity to make money.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up, hurry up!"
Thinking of the large amount of Berry waiting for her, Nami couldn't wait to urge.
"Don't worry, don't worry, this kind of thing needs to be done slowly, and you have to have a preparation. It's not worth much if you sell it directly. Let's do this. We still have some change. Let's find a hotel to stay in for the next two days. I'll think of a way to hype up the shellfish on our ship. "
Business is like this. If you haven't eaten pork, have you seen pigs run?
Before crossing over, Remos was tired of all kinds of marketing routines. Although he didn't have the ability to completely copy them, or innovate on the basis of his predecessors, he could still imitate them.
Nami also thought about this clearly, so she stopped urging.
The two of them first went on board to count the shellfish on the ship. After removing those that absolutely could not be sold, there were more than a hundred shellfish of various kinds left.
"Can these things really be sold at a high price?"
Nami was a little skeptical.
"Just watch me operate! "
Remos gave her a thumbs up and showed a sunny smile, with his small white teeth particularly conspicuous.
Nami rolled her eyes at him unhappily, but did not ask any more questions.
Soon, the workers from the dock came to the ship and began to help them move things down.
Because the ship was also to be sold, all the personal belongings on it had to be transported away. Carrera Company provided a special warehouse where Remos and his personal belongings could be stored, including the gold and berry.
Nami was worried that there would be problems with the money, but Remos had no such worries at all.
Carrera Company is the largest in the cityThe foremen of the company are also among the strongest in the city. It is impossible for someone to steal things under their noses.
If anyone really dares to do this... Haha, do you really think that two naturalists are vegetarians?
And there is no need for Remos and others to bear the risk in this regard. Since they have decided to change a new ship, this money is the purchase price of the ship. It is Barry and others who should worry about it.
After leaving the dock, Remos and Nami carried a bag of shells and found a hotel nearby to stay.
The next day, Remos started his journey of selling shells.
