Chapter 110 Raise the anchor! To the sea (3) (10)
"Dongdongdongdong--"
"Mr. Luo? Mr. Luo!" At this time, the old captain Oliver suddenly became a little confused when he saw Luo Fei's appearance. He quickly tapped the table in front of him with a little force so that he could focus his attention in front of him.
"Oh, oh! I'm sorry!" Luo Fei, who woke up from his just inference, hurriedly apologized to Oliver.
"Cough!" Oliver could not have guessed what Luo Fei was thinking just now, cleared his throat and said, "If a ship wants to sail on the sea, it is definitely not possible without sailors. This tavern is the place where you can summon sailors!"
"Then, how much does that sailor cost every day?" Luo Fei, as the default captain of the four-person team, saw that the other three still looked at him and didn't say anything, so he had to ask about the matter related to employment.
"The recognized price is 1 silver coin per sailor per day, but if he is a helm, surveyor, lookout, chef, etc., he will pay far more than a silver coin in the fundamental situation." Oliver said without thinking. After all, he is already an old captain who has sailed countless suns and moons on the voyage.
"What if I want to have those people you configured on the ship before, how much does it cost per day?" Because Oliver just mentioned too many professions, Luo Fei had an idea. He remembered that the people on the ship were all hired by Oliver at the beginning of the script, so he wanted to ask the whole question.
"You said that the Seagulls are those people! Those people are my old acquaintances. Most of them have traveled with me more than ten times, so the price is slightly lower than the recognized one. With the configuration of the Seagulls' twenty-five sailors, plus the helmsman, surveyor, watchman, and chef, a total of 33 people. I have to pay 60 silver coins every day from the human resources alone." Oliver thought for a while and said.
"What about food, drink and other consumption at sea?" Luo Fei tried his best to not miss important expenditure items. After all, the task of this script is to make money through trade, and to first understand the possible important expenditures in the future, which is the first step to doing a good job in business.
"The 10 silver coins a day should be almost the same!" These things seemed to have grown in Oliver's mind, so Oliver said without long.
"There is also the exchange ratio between silver coins and gold coins?" Luo Fei heard that Oliver had been talking about silver coins, but the initial funds given to them were gold coins, so he continued to ask about this.
"In all regions in Europe, it's a ratio of 1 to 100." Oliver told Luo Fei.
"Sure enough, the system has been simplified!" Luo Fei thought to himself: "If it were Europe in the real world, it would definitely not be able to reach such a unified level of exchange ratio in this era."
But since it was in the script, Luo Fei no longer cared about this. He said to Oliver sincerely: "Okay, I want to hire your original crew members in the next three months. Please help me contact me. After we purchase the goods tomorrow, we will go to sea for trade the day after tomorrow."
"Ah? Hahahaha!" Oliver made an unexpected expression first, and then laughed happily, "This is impossible, Mr. Luo! These people just came back from the Indian Ocean with me and haven't seen their family for a long time! According to my experience, it will take at least half a month before they will accept the next employment!"
"Half a month?" Luo Fei and the other three partners showed unacceptable expressions. After all, the mission time is only three months, and waiting for them for half a month is too luxurious!
"Then we hire sailors and chefs, and only your original helmsman, surveyor, and lookout hand. What can you do?" said suddenly, "Who is the girl in green who had not spoken before."
"If only three of them were invited, it would not be impossible if they were willing to pay a high price, but they would have to give them at least three days of family reunion time." Oliver thought for a while and said.
"What is the so-called high price?" Luo Fei, who felt that he could wait for three days, continued to ask tentatively.
"At least half the original price, which means these three people have 22.5 silver coins per day." Oliver thought for a longer time this time, as if he was constantly weighing something. He only gritted his teeth and said, until Luo Fei almost finished a glass of wine.
"If it's only one month, the price is still affordable, but if it's three months, the cost will be a bit high!" Who I was as if I were to agree to see Luo Fei's expression, and hurriedly reminded him.
"She is now doing finance in a company." Whenever she loves, she saw Luo Fei's puzzled look, she hurriedly explained who I am.
"That's it!" Luo Fei raised his right hand and stroked his chin. This was his usual action when he was thinking since he was a child: "Then Mr. Oliver, please help us negotiate with them at the price you just said, and hire them for a month first!"
"Okay!" Oliver nodded: "But the price just now is just my personal estimate. They are likely to have higher bids than this, and there may be other conditions. I agree with you in advance."
"It's okay." Luo Fei made a gesture, signaling who I was about to speak, and continued to say to Oliver: "Actually, what I value most is uncle. I know you are the captain, but I think you can be the first mate on my ship in the next three months. How much is it? You can offer a price!"
"Mr. Luo wants to hire me?" Oliver widened his eyes in surprise, then laughed: "With your current financial resources, if you want to hire me for a month, it may not be enough!"
"You offer a price first!" It must be very cheap when Oliver said, but Luo Fei insisted on asking.
"Actually, it was already many years ago that I was the first mate for others!" Seeing that Luo Fei didn't seem to understand what he just declined, Oliver simply told him directly: "With my sailing experience, it is recognized that the price should be about one gold coin per day!"
"Don't think it's too much." Oliver saw Luo Fei open his mouth slightly, and smiled and said to the tavern owner Tilus beside him: "Tell them, I didn't increase the price by half!"
"Yes, I guarantee that Oliver is indeed worth the price!" Tavern owner Tilus patted his chest and said, "So many merchants would rather hire him to be the captain and transport goods themselves, rather than being the captain himself and let him be the chief mate!"
"Actually, even if you are a junior mate, you still have to listen to most of the things. I hired him just to study more." Such a expensive price still did not shake Luo Fei's determination to hire him. He smiled and said, "Then according to what you said, one and a half gold coins a day, but they can only be paid every Monday. Can't advance payment?"
"Captain! One and a half gold coins a day, you can get 45 gold coins a month! In addition, the crew employment and daily consumption require 0.9 gold coins a day, so the monthly cost is 82 gold coins!!"
Who I was calculated at the heart, I couldn't help but say it.
