Above the Pirate King

Chapter 294 Port Bena

A few days later

The morning sun shines softly on the sea, swaying a little bit of starlight.

"Europe--"

Accompanied by high-pitched cries, more than a dozen seagulls hovered over a fleet consisting of [-] ships and four small chambers of commerce, refusing to leave for a long time.

On the deck of a large ship in the middle of the fleet.

At this time, there was a square table with wine and vegetables on it, and four middle-aged people in luxurious clothes and friendly faces were sitting on one side of the table, drinking and chatting together!
These four people are the owners of this mixed fleet, the presidents of four different small chambers of commerce!

"Three, we haven't seen each other for half a year, I miss you very much!" One of the tall and thin middle-aged men said with a smile.

"Ander, do you miss us, or the gold and animal skins on Bena Island?" A fat middle-aged man with a kind face joked.

That's right, the fleet led by the four is going to Bena Island!
And if we want to talk about the reason why the four of them gathered together to go to Bena Island, we have to talk about the situation in the South China Sea!
Compared with the mafia that is everywhere in the West Sea, the Chamber of Commerce has the most in the South China Sea!
Why are there so many chambers of commerce?
The reason is because the commercial trade in the South China Sea is very developed, therefore, various chambers of commerce have emerged one after another!

As for the Chamber of Commerce, the most important thing is of course the interests!
In the West Sea, all walks of life, including every small island, as long as there are interests, there will be more or less various chambers of commerce!

Some of them occupy a place, and some have business connections all over the world, but no matter what, there is only one thing for the benefit!
And the small gold mines and animal skins on Bena Island are benefits!
Therefore, Bena Island has naturally attracted some chambers of commerce.

However, because Bena Island is located in a remote place, transportation, supplies, etc. are more troublesome. The cost of obtaining gold mines and animal skins on Bena Island remains high, and the benefits that can be obtained are very few. Therefore, China People from large chambers of commerce look down on this place.

But the medium and large ones don't like it, but the small chamber of commerce does!
For small chambers of commerce, in an environment where there are so many chambers of commerce in the West Sea, if they want to survive, they must not let go of any benefits. Therefore, the Bena Island at the beginning also attracted many small chambers of commerce.

But here comes the problem!
The benefits of Bena Island are small, and there are many small chambers of commerce. Everyone divides the benefits. As a result, not only did they not make money, but they lost a little bit!
If it is a big chamber of commerce, even if it loses a little, it won't care!

But the people who come here are all small chambers of commerce, and a little loss will kill them!
Therefore, after the first transaction, fewer people came from the second time, the third time, and the fourth time, fewer and fewer people came. In the end, the four of Ander joined forces to transfer the remaining small After the Chamber of Commerce was squeezed out, it monopolized the resources of the entire Bena Island!
Of course, even if it is a monopoly, they dare not go too far, such as selling things from the tribe on Bena Island at super high prices, or buying things from Bena Island at super low prices, none of these will do!

Because the tribe on Bena Island is not stupid, let alone the kind that has no resistance!

When the gold mine was discovered before, the fate of several chambers of commerce that united to seize the gold mine is still vivid in their minds!

So their transaction prices are relatively normal!

Because of this, they don't earn much from each transaction, and the four of them earn even less!

So, they finally thought of a way!

That is once every six months!
In this way, there are three most intuitive benefits!

First of all, their interests will not decrease, because gold mines and furs are the kind that can be saved and will be accumulated, so they trade once a month, and the profit they get from trading once a half year is the same!

Second, their cost will also drop a lot. Originally, they would come once a month, but now they come every six months. I don’t know how much the transportation cost will be saved.

The third thing is to save time. Originally, it was once a month, but now it is once every six months. This will add several months of time!
And if they have more time, they will naturally not waste it, but instead go to other businesses to earn more benefits!

"Ah, ha, think about it, think about it!" Ender smiled and asked the three of them, "Don't you think so?"

"Ah ha ha!"

"Ha ha!"

"Ha ha!"

When he said this, the other three looked at each other, and then all laughed.

indeed!

The purpose of the four of them is the same!

Benefits only!

All misses are fake, only money is real!
Afterwards, the four began to exchange business information, business gossip, etc. After chatting for a long time, the ship finally arrived not far from Bena Island!

"Wait, that...is that?" Looking at Bena Island in the distance, Ender couldn't help standing up, pointing at it, his eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief.

When the other three saw his appearance, they also stood up suspiciously, and turned to look at Bena Island!

Immediately, the three of them also opened their mouths and eyes wide, revealing an unbelievable look!

The screen turned and came to the port of Bena Island at this time.

The dilapidated pier has completely disappeared!

With the efforts of the Ministry of Industry of St. Martin, which has inherited some of the strength of the infrastructure madman, the current wharf has become a huge port!
Inside the port, the cement-paved ground, the forts standing along the semi-circular coast, the rows of shops in the port, and the San Martin soldiers patrolling the port, everything looks so incredible!

"This is... this is the port of Pena Island?" Ender asked in a startled voice.

But the other three were stunned and did not answer his words!

So, he pushed the fat middle-aged man next to him, and asked again, "Arborough, are you sure it was six months ago when we came here last time?"

"Um, I'm sure, when we played cards six months ago, you still owed me ten Baileys!" Yarborough, who was pushed a few times, also reacted and nodded.

"Then, how did the port of Pena Island look like this now? It was six fucking months, it seems like six years!" Ender asked in disbelief, "And, based on Can the group of tribal natives on Bena Island do this?"

"How do I know?" Yarborough said angrily, "I just remember that the last time we came, it was a broken wharf, a broken wharf that couldn't even park a boat. Who knows how it turned into such a luxurious port. Woolen cloth?"

"Then what should we do now? Come in, or not?" A short, fat, bald middle-aged man among the four asked the other three.

"This..." When he asked, the other three looked at each other and hesitated a little.

Now this port doesn't know what's going on, and they don't dare to enter rashly, otherwise, what if something happens?

After a long silence, Ender suggested, "How about we pack up a boat, and then send a few people from each to take a look, see what happened, and then make plans, how about it?"

"Row!"

"it is good!"

"Then it's settled!"

This proposal was immediately answered by the other three.

In a short while, the four packed up the smallest boat, and then each of them sent out ten men, and sailed towards Bena Island!
