Chapter 119 Raise the anchor! Toward the sea (12) Continue)

After the ship arrived in Valencia, ivory was normal and did not become a local best-selling product.

So Luo Fei only sold lime on the exchange, and because the Chamber of Commerce was unwilling to sell ceramics to him in the short term, he had to replace the vacant cabin with local cotton. After all, Lisbon itself is rich in almonds and salt, so buying these two types of items will definitely make trouble for yourself when you buy them.

After deducting the profits of lime from cotton purchases, wages and grain supplies paid to the crew, there was nothing left.

The next day, the Seagull had to set sail back to Lisbon as soon as possible. Most of the crew members, led by surveyor Herami, began to miss homesickness, and because of the incident with Barbarodin at sea, they reiterated to Lofei again that they could only want to trade between Portugal and Spain except Ceuta.

"Is this script really hopeless to pass the level?" After another 6 days of voyage, when the Seagull finally returned to Lisbon, he saw that ivory and cotton could only be sold at normal prices on the exchange. Although he had known that he had not had much expectation to sell the best-selling products, Luo Fei still showed a very disappointed expression.

That night, all the crew members were approved to go home to reunite for one day and one night, and then boarded the boat to work the day after tomorrow. Luo Fei and the other two also stayed at the hotel where they originally stayed in Lisbon to discuss the next strategy for making money.

At the meeting, who is the treasurer, I spoke first and informed the other two about the current financial situation of the game team. She told the other two: "The time limit is only 68 days away, but after we sold the goods in the two cabins and paid our daily expenses, we still have only 723 gold coins."

"In other words, we earned more than 500 gold coins in 22 days. At this speed, we still have hope of completing the task!" After hearing who I was talking about, he saw that Luo Fei was still frowning and hurried out to liven up the atmosphere.

"Yes! Although we have lost the advantage led by "notes", after all, there are more than 60 days left before the time limit. Maybe next time we trade to sell the best-selling products!" Who I am was a little pessimistic, but when I saw Luo Fei like this, I comforted him. After all, she still wanted to play other scripts with Luo Fei in the future.

"Oh, are I such a vulnerable person in our hearts?" Luo Fei saw that the two of them misunderstood him and explained with some self-deprecating words: "Actually, these days, I have been thinking about Long Aotian's affairs. When I parted, I told him that I would definitely save him. In recent times, although he had always told me that he had been doing well, from his few words, I still felt that he would be detained by the pirates and would be very uncomfortable!"

"So that's how it is!" The man who loves someone suddenly realized: "But the other party has five pirate ships and hundreds of pirates. It's really hard to rescue him with the three of us!"

"Maybe we can pay some ransom, but I am afraid that the other party will detain us all when the redemption is done." Who I made her suggestion and expressed her concerns.

"Let's do it! You two will go to the shipyard with me tomorrow." Luo Fei said after pondering for a while.

"No!" Who I love was completely shocked by his own guess: "Boss, you should buy cannons and put them on the boat, go to Madeira and Las Pamas to fight Barbarodin to the death!"

"And we need to consider the attitude of the sailors. They are only employed by us now and will definitely not agree to fight the pirates." Who I am also added from the side.

"Don't worry!" Luo Feiyu comforted his two teammates helplessly: "Even if we try our best, it's not now. With our current net worth of 800 gold coins, even if we change the warship, it should be far from enough!"

......

The next morning, Luo Fei took the two of her love and I to the local shipyard in Lisbon to learn about the cost of ship purchase and renovation.

The captain's receptionist was a blond boy named Augustus, who was less than thirty years old. He enthusiastically let the three of them go into the reception room first, and then used basic information about the shipbuilding yard to build ships, and told Luo Fei that if he had the choice, he would take them to see the sample ship on site.

The ships for sale in the Lisbon Shipyard are divided into four levels, and the highest level is the Fearless Large Merchant Ship:

Sail speed S-class, 2 side cannons, 3 cargo warehouses, 4 material warehouses, 54 cannons are equipped! It can carry up to 259 crew members, and at least 89 crew members are required to drive normally.

Just like this, Luo Fei saw that the price marked was 66,000 gold coins!!

According to the current profit-making speed of the game team, it will take more than 2,600 days to buy this big ship...

Seeing the three customers' faces turned pale, Augustus seemed to have helped Luo Fei turn the picture album backwards, and while flipping, he said: "Business and war dual-purpose ships like the Fearless Level are generally considered by their own navy or very few giant merchants. The reason why we put it first in the picture album is that it means acting as a storefront."

The next page is the ocean-class merchant ship:

Sail speed S-class, 1 side gun, 4 cargo warehouses, 5 material warehouses, 24 long heavy guns are equipped! It can carry up to 176 crew members, and at least 66 crew members are required to drive normally.

The price of marine-class merchant ships has reached as much as 34,000 gold coins!

It is obvious that receptionist Augustus did not think that Luo Fei and the other two could afford the ship. The reason why he did not directly turn the picture album to the end was that he wanted to show Luo Fei and the other two the strength of the shipyard, and the other was that he was polite and could not show the meaning that customers could not afford the big ship from the beginning.

After a rough look at the structure and price of marine-class merchant ships, Luo Fei continued to flip the picture album backwards.

Later on, there are three levels that Augustus believes that Luo Fei and the other two may be able to afford.

The third level is divided into sailor grade and sail grade:

Sailor-grade sail speed A, side guns are not available, 3 cargo warehouses, 4 material warehouses, 2 long heavy guns are equipped with up to 44 crew members, and at least 19 crew members are required to drive normally, and the price is 6,700 gold coins.

Sail level: Sail speed A, side cannon 1, cargo warehouse 2, material warehouse 2, equipped with 24 curved cannons, can carry up to 155 crew members, and at least 70 crew members are required to drive normally, and the price is 6,100 gold coins.

Obviously, these two types of ships focus on trade and combat.

"This sailor class looks similar to our Seagull." Luo Fei said to his two teammates after watching it.

"If you don't have enough money to change the ocean level, we can provide you with the service of transforming the ship." Augustus heard Luo Fei's words and began to ask Luo Fei about the basic structure of the Seagull and its needs for transformation.

However, Seagull is not owned by the Game Squad after all, so Oliver would definitely not agree to change it.

So Luo Fei turned the picture album to the last page, which was the lowest level small commercial grade at the shipyard.
