Beiye Island, strictly speaking, was just a peninsula. It was connected to the mainland, but … Further in was a desolate desert. The only reason this place was actually a port was because it was producing high-end luxury goods — agate!
However, even though Beiye Port produced agate, there were not many caravans that could reach here. Even pirates rarely came here, since it was only a cargo port, with no shipyard to maintain or repair the ships.
Generally speaking, pirate ships would gather at the high-priced port of the agate. When the merchant ships transported the agate and approached the ports where they could sell the agate at a very high price, the pirate ships would gather and surround the merchant ship. If they were to start robbing at the Beiye Port, the warehouse of the pirate ship wouldn't be able to take away much of the agate.
Just outside the port not too far away from the sea, Soga discovered a few teams of pirate ships. What made Soga worried was that these pirate ships all belonged to the same pirate crew.
However, since he was already here, Soga had no way out. If he was afraid of the pirates and did not dare make a deal, then running all the way here became meaningless.
Standing at the plaza at the pier, Soga thought for a while, then suddenly turned his head and spoke to Xiang Yun: "I'm not at ease here, I don't care if you are going to steal or buy, I will immediately get two small sailboats and then split up with Roger to investigate the pirates. I don't want anything to happen to this transaction, you know, we can't afford to fail!"
Regarding this transaction, Soga had explained it clearly to everyone. Although the price of the agate was not high in the area of production, it was still a relative selling price, and to complete this transaction, Soga would have to spend all his wealth, and even overdraft his Business card, only then would he be able to complete the transaction. If it was taken, not only would they lose everything, they would also lose the qualifications to continue taking risks in Great trade road because they could not repay the money they had overdrawn!
Thinking about it, Xiang Yun and Roger walked towards the dock together. No matter what, they had to take care of all the negative aspects of the fleet beforehand. Xiang Yun would definitely not allow anyone to sabotage this deal.
Entering Beiye City, Soga whispered to Nico who was beside him: "Go to the tavern and check out the information on the thieves outside, the more detailed the better.
Hearing Soga's words, Nico glanced at him slightly, and then turned around resolutely. With Soga's close combat ability and his abnormally strong mental perception, he did not need to stay by his side anymore. Furthermore, Soga already had Mya by his side, and although he had not fought before, but based on a warrior's intuition, Nico was sure that this Mya was not simple!
Looking at Nico's figure that was gradually getting further and further away, Soga thought for a bit, then entered the exchange grounds with Mya, at that moment. The huge exchange was empty. The reason why the Agate had such high profit was because very few people would dare to transport it. If anyone did, the price wouldn't be that high.
For luxury goods like the agate, there would only be one chance to trade in each port. With the price of the agate, the consumption rate would be very limited and it would take a long time to digest a batch. Although the price would still recover, the period of time required was too long, and it was only in years that Soga could not wait until that time.
Arriving at the front of the counter, Soga did not delay any further, and directly spoke: "What's the price for the agate now? How much stock is there in Hong Kong? "
Glancing at Soga, the clerk said in a neutral tone: "Currently, there are 4 million boxes of Agate in one box. There are about ten thousand boxes of Agate in Hong Kong. Ginger and golden sand are quite a lot, so the price is quite reasonable.
Hearing the clerk's words, Soga frowned, although the ten thousand boxes sounded like a lot, but it was still worth it. Soga had a hundred ships, and his capacity could reach 100 thousand boxes. The gap was too big.
That was not the most important thing. The most important thing was, if 4 million cases of agate were to be filled up, wouldn't that cost 4 billion merchants? Even if Soga risked his life, he still wouldn't be able to get this much money. The amount of money Soga could currently use was only 10 billion, which was already the limit of what his current level of credibility could afford!
Seeing Soga's tightly furrowed brows, Mya couldn't help but feel anxious for Soga. After pondering for a moment, Mya took out a piece of Business card s from his bosom. I still have a bit of it here. "
"Eh?" Soga did not reject Mya's good intentions. He casually received the Business card and looked at it, and in the next moment … Soga couldn't help but open his mouth wide in shock.
In Soga's opinion, a girl like Mya being able to take out a few million was already pretty good. However, after giving it a fierce look, the large string of numbers on the Business card almost blinded Soga's eyes.
"One digit, two digit, three, four, five …" Along the way, Mya's funds had actually reached an exaggerated amount of 6 billion merchants. Although it was still useless, as a woman, to be able to get so much money, it could already be said to be a miracle.
Soga smiled and shook his head. He returned the Business card to Mya and said, "I really didn't think that you would actually be a rich little woman! However... I don't need your money right now, so you should just take it! "
Hearing Soga's words, Mya unhappily frowned: "What? Are you still a male chauvinist, determined not to use a woman's money? "
"I'm going to faint..." Hearing Mya's words, Soga laughed bitterly: "What are you thinking about? The problem is not who the money belongs to, if I could use it, I would definitely not reject it. But the problem now is, the difference between the funds is 4 billion!"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Hearing Soga's words, Mya gaped: "Heavens! What are you thinking about? "With so much money, even if we earn our way to our deaths, we won't be able to earn that much. Let's just set our goal as a bit lower. Your idea is too unrealistic, it's not something that a human can achieve!"
"Tsk …" Soga curled his lips in disdain, and said while shaking the inconspicuous gray cloak on his body: "Look carefully, what am I wearing?"
"Eh?" Puzzled, Mya looked at the cloak on Soga's body. He asked: Isn't this just a cloak? The highest price one could get was tens of thousands of business, how … Could it be that he has some sort of background? "
Looking at Mya helplessly, Soga lightly moved closer to Mya's ear and whispered: "This is a Death Cloak! That's right... It's one of the three artifacts in the auction house that's worth a trillion. Do you understand now? 4 billion is just a small number to me, so it won't be difficult for me. "
"Oh my god!" Mya looked at Soga in shock, completely speechless. As a person who had wandered on the great merchant road for nearly ten years, it was impossible for him not to know of the Death Cloak, and it was also impossible to not know of the method to obtain it as well as the price of the Death Cloak!
Mya looked at Soga with a complicated expression. Mya realized, that the more she interacted with Soga, the more she could sense the miracle Soga brought about. At this moment, Mya finally understood a little why Nico would blindly worship Soga, and he also understood why such a wild and unrelenting person like Xiang Yun would be willing to listen to his arrangements. This man was the creator of miracles!
Looking at the shocked Mya, Soga smiled and shook his head, he pulled Mya's arm and started walking out of the exchange center. Seeing that, Mya did not understand what happened and asked: "What's wrong? Are we not going to buy agate? "
"Faint …" Hearing Mya's words, Soga couldn't help but ask while laughing bitterly: "What are you thinking? Do you think I'm some sort of deity that can come up with money? I just firmly believe that I can think of a way, that's all. If you want me to immediately produce money, I don't have the ability to do so! "
Mya was completely confused. Since he did not have any way to get the money, where did Soga's strong confidence come from? This was truly incomprehensible!
