Reborn As a Pirate

December 18th, New York Carnival.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, nearly 300 trading houses opened their stores at the same time, and New Yorkers gathered in Wall Street and Newport District frantically poured in.

This may be the first organized and planned SELL-OFF in human history. The shop assistants were caught off guard, and the scene was once very chaotic.

Before nine o'clock, the 50% off trading houses led by Drake Trading Company began to sell out in large areas, and the flow of dissatisfied people quickly turned to 30% off, 20% off, and then spread to 10% off.

The charm of retail and department stores was vividly displayed in front of businessmen all over New York. The Council of Light gathered on the top floor of the Dukov Chamber of Commerce Building on Wall Street, and the old guys were all stunned.

Spain's Pellamin was the most emotional of all.

He stared at the crowd rushing under his feet with blazing eyes. Those blacks, whites, and Indians were dressed in linen, cotton, and crowded dresses, and each of them was full of hardships.

From time to time, you can see those who are squeezed down and legs, regardless of their own appearance, for fear that the flow of people passing by will steal away the things he has worked so hard to buy.

"If..." he pointed to a middle-aged lady whose skirt was out of shape, "if I opened a retail market in the upper city, and filled it with daily necessities..."

"You must first have a low-cost channel." Lorraine added with a smile, "The premium of the European and American trading houses is generally 30%-50%, and only a small number of scarce products can reach 100%. If you can reduce the premium to 10%, It’s sure to be a booming business.”

"10%?" Pellamin's eyes widened. "Didn't my fleet become porters for the middle class and the poor without the tax? In case of some accidents, do I still have to bear the loss?"

"Then there is no way." Lorraine shrugged, "The middle class and the poor have always had a demand for retail, but today's grand situation is not brought about by demand, but by cheap prices. Without cheap prices, they will still restrain their desire to buy. Even if you push the goods to their door, there will not be too many people who are willing to pay.”

"Trust little Drake's vision, old man." Dukov laughed and put his arms around Pellamin's shoulders. "You may not know that this little guy has been testing the retail market in Miami."

"Drake puts the unsalable storage capacity to the garden market in Hekou Town every month. I also tried it a few times. The recovered payment is about 20% higher than the bulk discount, and the recovery speed is nearly two weeks slower. , can be regarded as having both advantages and disadvantages.”

"That's because what you put into the market are all defective products." Mr. Plundit interjected, "Hekou Market has developed a very good retail habit, and I tried to invest in a batch of high-quality products four months ago. Cotton fabrics are almost sold out, but profits are declining, and operating costs are slightly higher than bulk shipments.”

"There are still advantages and disadvantages." Lorraine summed up without authorization, "The trend of daily necessities retailing should be low-to-medium grades and low prices, so costs must be controlled, especially freight costs. Temporarily, the cost of sea transportation cannot be reduced, so the nearest production That’s the best way out for retail.”

"Nearby?" Pellamin thought for a while, "But New York's manpower and land prices..."

"For the same factory, the average investment in New York State is more than 70% lower than that in New York, and the cost of offshore transshipment is lower than that on land. If you want to retail in New York, you can consider setting up a factory in Long Island."

Dukov's eyes lit up: "Little Drake, I heard that you bought a large piece of land in Brooklyn?"

"Bought by the American Chapter,

And the development plan is a shipping center, the goal is to share business opportunities in New York Harbor. "

"But it means that Brooklyn will have a high-quality shipping terminal in two years, right?" The Russian opened his carrot-thick fingers, "New York, Boston, New England, if you want to open up the field of daily use, you can do it in Brookline Lin and Queens County Land and set up factories..."

Discussing topics exclusive to businessmen, the turmoil in New York gradually subsided.

At 2:00 p.m., the second climax came. Rich people from all walks of life in New York gathered at St. Mark’s Church in the East Side, and the wedding of Pierce and Sharon came as scheduled in the grandest way.

Just when the eyes of New York were drawn to the East Side, Hamilton, who had been on tenterhooks for a day, finally finished his work.

He walked out of the Federal Hall wearily, cursing the uneasy Edward Kenway in his heart, and walking towards the carriage parked in the square.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred!

A black figure in a heavy burqa descended from the sky, raised its hand and shot two red lights, passed through the crowd trickily, and nailed Hamilton's body with a pop.

Hamilton fell in response, and the murder case was in chaos. By the time people reacted, the black shadow of the murderer had disappeared!

At 2:20 p.m., Alexander Hamilton, the Interim Minister of the Treasury of the United States and a member of the Confederate Congress and the Constitutional Convention, was stabbed outside the Federal Hall on Wall Street.

The murder weapon was a red velvet throwing knife, and the assailant was wearing a burqa, and his whereabouts were mysterious. All these signs pointed to the super assassin known throughout the Caribbean, the rose thorn of the white flag, Assassin Heina Yesra.

The New York Sheriff's Department was mobilized, and hundreds of sheriffs armed with long guns surrounded the wedding venue of St. Mark's Church.

They formed a stalemate with the rich bodyguards who stayed outside the church, and the tense atmosphere made people suspect that a war was about to break out in New York.

But the atmosphere at the scene was incomprehensible.

Despite the tension, the wedding in the church did not stop because of the confrontation outside. Pierce and Sharon still exchanged vows, rings, and kissed the ceremony under the watchful eyes of the priest and the heavenly father.

After the ceremony, Lorraine walked out of the church holding Henna's hand.

He declared Hannah's innocence in front of all the guests and the opposing sides at gunpoint, because during the entire wedding process, from 1:45 to 3:15, Hannah was in the first row of the ceremony, under the eyes of everyone Never disappeared, and naturally there is no time to rush to Wall Street to assassinate people!

The guests present came forward to testify one after another, which made the development of the incident even more out of control, and the officials of the Public Security Department were overwhelmed.

At 3:40, Hamilton announced that his life was out of danger. New York State Governor Norrie Spencer rushed to the scene of the San Marco confrontation and ordered the Sheriff's Department to return the guns to the camp.

The crisis is resolved.

Lorraine personally sent Governor Spin into the carriage. When entering the carriage, the governor suddenly said to Lorraine.

"The situation in New York is somewhat tense during this period. General Washington felt that Alexander's danger had not passed, so he decided to keep him in the Federal Hall's mansion. If you want to see him, remember not to go to the wrong place."

"Really?" Lorraine smiled meaningfully, "Alexander is my friend, even if this unhappiness happens, I don't seem to have any reason not to visit the doctor. By the way, do I need to make an appointment to enter the Federal Hall? "

"It seems to be registered at the gate." The governor narrowed his eyes, "Although the specifics are not clear, but my state capital is like this."

"Registration at the gate... Thank you."

"No thanks, it's the governor's job to answer taxpayers' questions." Governor Spin waved his hand, "Goodbye, young man."

"Goodbye, Mr. Governor."
