Pirates: Beginning with the Patrolman

In an inconspicuous bar in the Seven Waters, the door was suddenly pushed open and three figures walked in from outside.

"Hey! Bruno! Three beers!"

Barry waved at the burly man behind the bar with a cigar in his mouth and said with a smile.

"How come you have so much time today? Has the shipyard finished get off work?"

Bruno wiped the cup and asked casually.

"Ah, we're off work today, but we have to rush to work from tomorrow, so let everyone rest more today."

Barry sat down at the bar and asked Kaku and Rob Lucci who came with him to take a seat.

"Rush to work? Is there any big work?"

Bruno asked again, and poured a glass of beer for each of the three.

"Yes, this time a very rich customer came. The other party plans to spend 600 million berries to build a ship. I have worked in the shipyard for so many years, and this is the first time I have seen such a generous customer. Now everyone is holding back their energy and want to build this ship well."

Barry said without any guard.

"Hey, Barry, is there really such a customer? You are not bragging!"

A drinker next to him joked loudly. Those who can appear here are basically acquaintances, and it is harmless to make a little joke.

"Bullshit, when did I lie? I personally received this customer, and even the president met him in person."

Barry turned his head and cursed at the other party.

"Mayor of Espagu? Even he showed up, so this matter should be true. Hey, Barry, do you know what the customer does?"

Another familiar customer asked.

"It should be a bounty hunter. I heard the other party say it, but I didn't hear it clearly, so I didn't ask much."

Barry took a sip of wine and said casually.

"Bounty hunter? 600 million berries? That's a big shot, Barry, don't you plan to get to know him? Maybe you'll need his help in the future."

Another person asked.

"I don't want to do that. What does it have to do with me whether he's a big shot or not? What's wrong with a bounty hunter? I don't need his help. If any pirates dare to make trouble here, my guys and I are enough, hahahaha!"

Barry laughed out loud.

Others laughed and cursed a few times, and the bar was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

"Boss, what's going on outside? When we came here, we saw a lot of people running towards the city center. Did something happen?"

Everyone laughed for a while, and Kaku suddenly looked at Bruno and asked.

"I know," the drinker at the next table took over the conversation without waiting for Bruno to answer, "The newspaper has been publishing a short story about the Golden Country and Sky Island in recent days. Everyone thought that the story was a fantasy, but today the newspaper suddenly announced that it would sell various magical shells from Sky Island in the newspaper, and everyone went to grab the shells."

"Magical shells?"

Kaku was slightly startled and subconsciously looked at Barry.

Barry shook his head imperceptibly, "Don't do unnecessary things, don't say unnecessary words, this kind of thing has nothing to do with us."

They helped Remos and Nami to clean up the Liberty with their own hands, so they naturally knew what was on the ship. They couldn't see anything too private, but they saw the shells with their own eyes.

Barry can say that his customers are rich because there is no clear direction.

If he or his shipyard admits that the shells are sold by their own customers, then there is a direction, which may cause trouble for the customers. They can't do such things.

Kaku nodded and stopped talking.

As for Rob Lucci, he didn't say a word since he entered the door. He just sat there quietly drinking, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

At night, the bar closed. After Bruno packed up his wine utensils, he left the bar from the back door, walked a long way in the alley, and finally entered an ordinary house.

In the room, Rob Lucci and Kaku were all waiting for him.

"Have you checked it out?"

Seeing Bruno enter the door, Rob Lucci suddenly asked.

"I've checked it out."

Bruno nodded, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and put it in front of Rob Lucci, saying, "Remos, a native of the East China Sea, a bounty hunter, calls himself a patrol ranger. He has been in the industry for more than a year and has wiped out many powerful pirate groups. Not long ago, he defeated Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and destroyed his conspiracy. As a result, he was appreciated by Vice Admiral Garp and received guidance from him for a week.

The stories in the newspapers during this period were published by him, and those shells were also sold secretly by him. It is certain that they did arrive at Sky Island and did find Huang.Jinxiang. "

These things are not secrets in the eyes of those who are interested. For them who come from CP9, it is easier to find out.

"In addition, he just went to Judicial Island a few days ago and received Crocodile's bounty. Spandam personally gave them the money."

"Do we need to check them carefully?"

After Bruno finished speaking, Kaku continued to speak and looked at Rob Lucci.

Rob Lucci shook his head.

"Not for the time being, he is a bounty hunter, not a pirate. The source of the money is fine, and the matter of Sky Island has nothing to do with us. As long as we are sure that they are not here for Pluto, it will be fine."

"At present, it seems that their target should not be Pluto. Kalifa has been staring at Expagu. The information she sent back shows that Expagu just treats these two people as ordinary customers. Except for that meeting, they have no contact. "

Bruno explained.

"That doesn't matter. As long as they don't affect us, it doesn't matter what they do! "

Rob Lucci stood up and walked out with his hands in his pockets.

After a while, Kaku stood up and left.

After the two of them left, Bruno turned on the night light and prepared to read for a while before going to bed.

At the same time, in the hotel, Nami looked at the banknotes in front of her and laughed like a pervert. From time to time, she would pick up a stack of banknotes and kiss them hard, not caring that the money was dirty.

Remos looked at the banknotes with envy.

"By the way, do you have to do this? It's not the first time you've seen money."

When there were several hundred million on the ship before, she didn't behave like this.

"What do you know! This is the first money I earned with my own hands, and it's completely different from the previous ones! "

Nami rolled her eyes at him and said.

In fact, this money is not earned by you, okay - Remos wanted to say this, but he was not that stupid.

This time, the storytelling and marketing in the newspaper successfully promoted the originally inconspicuous shells to a position that did not belong to them. Only fifty shells were sold today, but they earned a full 10 million berries, an average of 200,000 per shell.

In terms of the value of the shells, this price is obviously inflated, but in terms of collection value, this money is still a bit too little.

So in the next few days, Remos will further increase the price of these shells and will not stop until he makes a lot of money.

"Hey, Remos, how did you come up with this method? This is too easy to use."

"Haha, just some simple marketing techniques, raising expectations, creating anxiety, and then hunger marketing. If you read more newspapers, you will find that many businesses will play this set, but generally businesses will play long-term routines. We are different. We focus on a short, flat and fast approach, harvesting a wave and running away. "

Remos shook his wine glass and said with a smile.

"Hunger marketing? This is an interesting idea. So what should we do next? Still like today? If we sell all of them, we should be able to make another 10 million. "

Nami's eyes were shining.

"10 million? Are you underestimating me? I won't stop until I sell these shells for 30 million."

"30 million?! You are robbing me!"

Nami's eyes widened.

Remos smiled slightly and leaned back in his chair, "It's just robbing money, and I have to make others willing to be robbed by me, just wait and see. ”

How to make something that was not so valuable become valuable? There is a lot of knowledge in this.

Remos did not dare to say that he was very proficient in this kind of thing. If he was proficient, he would have been successful before he crossed over.

In fact, he was just following the routines of some merchants before crossing over. There were many mistakes and omissions in the specific implementation, but the people in this world are generally simple. It is not an exaggeration to say that people are stupid and have a lot of money. He just arranged a dozen people in the crowd of buyers to arouse the mentality of those people to follow the trend and buy.

The rest of the things are easy to handle. Everyone scrambled for the various living shells that were originally mediocre in price on the sky island, and they were transformed into one by one. More expensive than gold of the same weight.

And today is only the first day, the real excitement is yet to come.

On the second day, the newspaper continued to publish short stories.

From today on, the climax of the story finally arrived. The protagonist of the story learned about the brutal rule of the Sky Island God over the residents of Sky Island and decided to overthrow his rule.

But before he took action, he first met the Shandians who had been resisting the Sky Island God for many years, and from them, he learned many tragic stories of the ancestors of the Shandians.

Needless to say, this section is purely made up. Remos borrowed the plots of online articles he had read for more than ten years before crossing over, making each short story so tragic and desolate.

After reading it,The readers of the short story were heartbroken and wanted these shells even more.

With the help of To, the thirty shells on the second day were sold for 15 million berries, an average of 500,000 each.

"..."

Late at night, Nami was speechless looking at the banknotes in front of her.

Bruno and the others were also silent.

"This money... is too easy to make. I am tempted by it."

Kaku covered his forehead and said helplessly. Bruno and Rob Lucci were both silent. They also felt that this thing was too magical, but it just appeared like this, clearly displayed in front of the three people.
