I Got on a Ghost Ship By Mistake and Was Forced To Be the Captain Chapter 246

Chapter 246 Card Scam

Clear Water Bay is ten kilometers away.

A mansion made of blue bricks and cement is located here.

Powder-white walls, brick-red roof, and eight huge gray stone pillars supporting the foundation, it is not particularly luxurious, but it also has a sense of grandeur.

At least it is more majestic than the cathedral of the storm that is about to leak.

A large number of officials entered and exited this majestic mansion. Although the main island of Mogadishu has only more than 40,000 permanent residents, this maritime fulcrum connecting the north and south continents has become an indispensable transit point.

"General, this is the net income of the four islands of Mogadishu this quarter according to the local governor's statistics. Please take a look."

The Chancellor of the Exchequer handed over a paper report.

General Steven Felice glanced at the statistics of the gross value of production with a serious face.

Among them, it goes without saying that the ash production with narcotics as the core has become the main pillar, followed by slave trade, processing industry, customs taxation, and...pirate economy,

The overall tax is descending in descending order according to the list.

After summarizing, this is a financial report worth up to 500,000 rand. The general's brows have not been stretched, and he is obviously not satisfied with this quarter's income.

"This is the total revenue for this quarter?"

"Since the large-scale reform of the Baia Kingdom, it has strictly resisted the entry of narcotics, and they can only be circulated in some small countries or the southern continent. It is inevitable that the income will drop sharply."

The Minister of Finance's tone was helpless. This matter is all thanks to the Prime Minister of Baia.

An inexplicable new law reform, in addition to improving people's welfare and improving labor laws, it also severely cracks down on illegal drugs entering the border. Once the source is verified, it will be regarded as a war and provocation.

It is enough to give Landis a warning.

"No matter what method is used, the 800,000 Lan coins will be collected before the end of the first half of the year."

General Phyllis said in a serious tone, "Even if the navy is used to plunder property, this indicator must be fulfilled."

Hearing the crazy remarks of the boss, the Minister of Finance can feel his determination.

His pressure is naturally not small. In addition to supporting overseas colonial troops, there are also members of the National Assembly, the Public Security Committee, and the Governorate of the Shanggong Republic. This strategic location in a prime location, I don't know how many people want to fight for it.

"General, there is one more thing."

The Minister of Finance took the initiative to approach with a low body, "Several small groups in Landis have been liquidated by the Church of the Storm, including the largest blue warrior pirate group recently. Recently, they dare not commit crimes again in order to avoid the limelight."

He recounted the cause of the incident, from the arrival of an extremely rich rich man, being targeted by a pirate group, to the fact that the other party united with the Church of the Storm to start paying off, boldly doubling the pirate reward order.

It must be said that this kid from a rich family may not be very clever in his methods, but he is the most effective.

After hearing this experience, General Phyllis looked sad and cursed:

"These idiots only know how to look at the money in front of them."

Yes, the city of Narnia has always kept a group of pirates of its own power, specializing in private work such as sea robbery and retaliation, and helping them handle some dirty work that is inconvenient for the upper class to intervene.

This is not just what Lantis is doing. Many powerful countries in the Northern Continent have more or less captive a group of illegal maritime forces, and they maintain a tacit understanding with each other.

Since the age of iron-clad ships, except for those sea kings who possessed powerful and extraordinary powers, ordinary pirates had no choice but to submit to the government except to hide deeper and deeper and run farther and farther.

Wandering around all day as a black glove.

The city of Narnia not only needs to support the overseas colonial army, but also supports several pirate troops.

If it weren't for the abundance of oil and water here, it would have collapsed long ago.

"Baiyer Regal... Church of the Storm... Eliminate pirates..."

The middle-aged man with a always serious expression muttered subconsciously, feeling a little uneasy.

It was originally a small matter, but what General Felice really cared about was not the confiscation of several pirate ships. The Church of the Storm intends to intervene in this matter, but it is really not a good sign.

"General, now that businessmen from all walks of life in Narnia are trying to get in touch with this Jack Sparrow, it is better to find an opportunity to visit that rich boy and ask him to give generously." The Minister of the Exchequer gave a suggestion.

I saw General Felice still shaking his head: "After all, he is a foreigner. He may have some skills, but he may not be able to interfere in our affairs. Why don't we wait for a while and see if he is as powerful as the rumors."

After all, it is within his jurisdiction, no matter what kind of disturbance there is, it cannot be hidden from his eyes.

After everyone else in the office retreated, Steven leaned on the chair and meditated, gently shaking the chair forward and backward at a constant frequency.

Reached forward and lifted up the photo frame on the desk, it was a family of three including him,

General Phyllis clenched his fists subconsciously.

In the photo, he is still wearing a dignified military uniform, looking upright and awe-inspiring.

At that time, I was still proud of my honor and career, and planned to dedicate my whole life to the motherland for this solemn profession.

I don't know when it will start,

A new era has quietly arrived.

No. 6 Clear Water Bay.

Several wealthy local businessmen came to visit politely with gifts. Tu Fu always welcomes such polite gentlemen.

After knowing that the other party wanted to do business with him, he also maintained a mysterious style, and also pretended to be sophisticated and talked to them about his "smart" investment plan.

He often comes out of his mouth with a bunch of words related to policies and exchange rates.

Then, he listed a lot of convincing data that had nothing to do with securities to this group of local tyrants who didn't know much about the financial industry.

Mr. Sparrow advertised to them how promising his career was, how lucrative his benefits were, and who he was cooperating with in Baia.

Although they didn't quite understand the business plan, or they were confused,

But none of that matters.

As long as they know that Mr. Sparrow is reliable enough and has enough international connections, it is worth a try.

"Dear Mr. Sparrow, in fact, we have great admiration for your business plan. We only have one question about it. How much profit can we get after each business is completed?"

A real estate businessman asked cautiously, and the businessmen who came to visit were also looking forward to the answer.

This is what they are most concerned about.

"It depends on the amount you are willing to invest." Tu Fu sat upright with a smile, "Generally speaking, the profit of a cycle is 30 percent of the investment amount, that is, the more you invest, the more you earn."

How many?

30% off!

This crazy number immediately shocked everyone present.

"As far as I know, the interest rate of the San Nordin National Bank is only one-tenth of this interest rate." Someone secretly smacked such a high interest rate.

"Sir, as an investor, should you never put your money in the bank and wait for the currency to devalue? There is nothing more stupid than that."

Tu Fu used his identity as someone who had experienced it, and laughed again: "Remember, don't tell Mr. Sullivan about this, or his loyal bank customers will definitely betray him without hesitation after knowing this interest rate."

Everyone smiled knowingly.

Don't say it's still such a high interest rate in this era,

Tu Fu remembers that Yu'E Bao's highest seven-day annualized rate was close to 7%, which caused the whole people to go crazy, which was more than double that of the five major banks, so that the central bank had to take action to regulate it later.

What's more, what's in front of them now is a tenfold rate of return,

Even if they know that this may be poison, there are still some people who are willing to do it first.

Under his boastful promise, he got another 20,000 kroner in cash from these people.

Counting this group of people, it was already the third wave of Narnia merchants who came to him. No matter who knew the high interest rate, they tried to invest in it, but they didn't dare to invest too much.

This is normal. No matter how ingenious the story Tu Fu fabricated before seeing the benefits, it is difficult to say that it is moving and a large investment.

Until the group of guests left, Sophie smacked her tongue and stepped forward, "My God, it's another 20,000. How much money do you have now?"

"A mere 50,000 to 60,000 kroner is not enough for this apartment." Tu Fu didn't intend to hide it from her.

"50,000 to 60,000, based on this interest rate, the total amount you will return to them next time will be close to 80,000 crowns."

"exactly."

"How do you plan to pay it back?"

"How about selling you to pay off the debt?" Tu Fu stroked his chin solemnly, "If you are worth the money."

It wasn't until after Sophie's "slap" iron fist that Tu Fu rubbed the place where he was beaten and patiently explained,

“Don't worry at all, this is just the beginning, and there will be people who will continue to enter the pool later. As long as the latecomers meet the first wave of people, they can get money.

In the future, more people will invest and make more and more pools. This routine focuses on increasing revenue and reducing expenditure. "

"Open source and throttling? How to say."

"As long as a steady stream of funds flow into my fund pool, this business model can continue to operate. And throttling means that I have to fight the time difference and control it properly so that my outflow of funds is always lower than the inflow of funds. That's it."

Tu Fu explained the logic of this deception with a smile.

Like a large pool, two pipes are installed on the opposite sides, one water outlet and one water inlet. What Tu Fu needs to do now is to keep the pool in surplus.

After hearing this, Sophie finally came to her senses, thinking, "When someone withdraws money, someone deposits it. Isn't this the same logic as a bank?"

"exactly."

"Even I can understand, I'm afraid this job won't last long."

"Miss, don't underestimate people's hearts. A 30% profit is enough to defeat a rational, calm, and smart mind."

Tu Fu casually snapped his fingers.

And a profit of 300% is enough to trample on all laws in this world.

If he didn't only intend to do such a short-term, keep the interest rate at 10%~13%, and spend ten years, he would even be sure to sweep away Landis's wealth.

This kind of routine has been passed down in the same vein even in later generations, and it has been repeatedly banned.

Not precisely because of greedy hearts.

Don't be afraid that you won't even have the courage to play if you get the money.

The more Sophie thought about it, the more frightened she felt, "I guess your deception will probably spread around the world after this time."

“Let's call it a… card scam.”

ps: The state is not very good, adjust it and strive for more tomorrow
