48 Hours a Day

Two weeks have passed since the Cold Raven sailed, and the farce in front of the warehouse lasted two full weeks.

Although most of the stuff is worthless, there are a lot of people who can't hold it, and Karina is spending 30 or 40 gold coins successively, just a pile of useless garbage in the mouth of the maroon.

The only thing of slight value in here is probably twelve boxes of potatoes, but the colony doesn't sell much, so it's obvious that you can't afford to run the Breeze for something like this.

No one knew exactly what the merchants were up to, but even so, the League of Black Merchants responded immediately by issuing a statement that any pirate who cooperated with Karina would always receive the lowest price for the future sale of loot on its side.

It also means that the Black Business Coalition has begun to block Kareena, Malcolm's response is simple and straightforward, and once this statement is made, the quality of what women merchants receive becomes worse, but every time some ideal pirate sells something to Kareena, they have to weigh it out.

Of course, the guys who ate the last meal were still unaffected, they wouldn't even think about tomorrow, they'd go anywhere with more money, but they weren't really the target group of the Black Business Coalition, and Malcolm thought it would be nice to let these guys go nauseous Karina.

The second-hand goods exchange for women merchants is now also known as the garbage collection station by the island's people, and many merchants from the Black Business Coalition are waiting to see the jokes.

Marlon was also depressed during this time, and all the people who knew him on the island were asking him when he was going to pull the junk to the colony for sale, so the captain of the Breeze simply stayed hidden in the courtyard until Karina's men found him.

“Going sailing tonight?” Marlon climbed out of bed in his clothes and laughed bitterly, "Don't be ridiculous. Are you really going to take that pile of stuff to Boston, New York? Who are we looking for to buy? How much is the cost and how much is the profit from this trip? ”

“I have manned there ahead of time, and you just have to move the cargo there and someone will take over, and then you can go back to Nassau. ”

What surprised the captain of the Breeze was that the next moment a businesswoman walked right in through the door.

Marlon was so surprised that he was already wearing his pants, and then Karina said to the naked gorgeous, “Can you give us some time to talk? ”

The latter smiled and gave a flying kiss to the businesswoman, then took the clothes on the bench and twisted her ass out of the room.

Karina asked Marlon's sailor to close the door, guard the door, pour herself a bottle of wine from the table, moisten her voice, and say, “Can you get the goods on the boat in the afternoon? ”

Marlon shrugged his shoulders, "I have to get sailors together first, get supplies for the ocean, add water to the boat, check the sailsuits... so, pretty much, if you insist, we can get out of here before sunset. ”

“Good, don't worry too much, leave after dark. ”

Marlon frowned, "Running all night? Are you afraid of those boxes of potatoes sprouting? ”

Karina heard the tone of Captain Breeze, leaning back, rubbing his temple, some weariness, “Do you know how much we lost this time? ”

“I know you may not like to hear it, but I must say I warned you, if we could make money from those guys, you wouldn't have to go back to the captains who were working with your father that year. ”

“I don't expect to make money from them, at least not now.” Karina said, "I just need them to help me get the message out that pirates and I on the island can make more money working together than working with the Black Business Coalition. ”

“I'm pretty sure Malcolm got your message, too, so he let the Black Business Coalition make a statement, and now the powerful pirates on the island won't come to us. ”

“No, they just won't come looking for us on the bright side. ”

“What do you mean? ”

“When I was a little girl, my father used to tell me stories about how brave the people here were, how brave they were, how courageous they were in pursuit of wealth without any rules, and many thought that the captains were on the side of the Black Business Coalition because they had signed a contract with the Black Business Coalition, but that was not the case, and most of them didn't care at all about what it said, and they chose the Black Business Coalition because the latter provided them with a higher income so that they could feed their men and hold the captain's position. ”

“There's no problem with that statement, but that's why they won't leave the Union of Black Merchants to work with us.” Marlon sighs, "you know how I hear people talking about us here all the time? ”

The businesswoman picked out the eyebrows.

“Those bastards think we can't stay long at all, and they firmly believe that the Cold Crow is willing to continue working with us because...”

The captain of the Breeze stopped.

“Did I tap into my talent as a woman? ”

“That's pretty much what I mean, everyone here seems to think that sooner or later we're going to be kicked out of Nassau by Malcolm and his gang of black merchants, and with all due respect, nobody's going to choose to work with us in this situation. ”

“What I'm doing right now is not about who I'm working with for long-term stability," Karina said. “I'm just offering them a way to earn extra money. ”

“Outside fast?” Marlon doesn't really understand what a businesswoman means.

“My goal is not the big pirates in the top section. The black merchants' union has fed them well, and the guys in the three or four sections have little hope of telling the truth, but a lot of the pirates in the one or two sections are good, except that because they were founded late like the Cold Crow, the black merchants' union depressed their purchase price and I could offer almost 20% more, which should still be tempting for them, provided that our deals between the two sides are not known by the black merchants' union. ”

“How is that possible? As soon as my Breeze sailed, everyone knew...” Marlon said here he stopped suddenly and opened his eyes, "Have you been buying that garbage for two weeks, just to get ready for this? ”

Karina nodded, “About five days ago, a ship's helmsman secretly contacted me, trying to get a batch of cotton cloth, good quality, they were a little dissatisfied with the price of the black merchants' union, so they found me, and now the shipment is in our warehouse, and I need you to transport it to Boston, and Jim has gone there first, and he will contact a good merchant to buy it directly. ”
