Pirate Traveling Merchant

"Hahahahaha, I'm sorry, hahahahaha." After listening to Nolan's explanation, the middle-aged man knew that he had misunderstood Nolan.

"I can't help it. When you were squatting in the corner just now, your expression was exactly the same as the expressions of those who failed to do business here. Hahahaha"

Nolan didn't know how to refute, after all, he did look like that kind of person just now.

The middle-aged man suddenly put his arm around Nolan's shoulders and said, "If you want to buy goods, you've gone to the wrong place."

"Wrong place." Nolan tilted his head and looked at the middle-aged man.

"Well, come, let me take you to a place where you can really buy high-quality goods at low prices." Without asking Nolan if he wanted to go, the middle-aged man pulled Nolan and walked forward.

The middle-aged man took Nolan to the other side of the street where he was now. When he came to the street entrance, Nolan felt the difference between this street and the street just now.

There are so many people here and so many shops, some big and some small.Looking at the surging crowd, Nolan asked curiously: "This is"

"This is the mid-range market area, and the place you were just in is the area for high-end shops..." The middle-aged man began to introduce Nolan to the distribution of Thalia City.

Through his introduction, Nolan learned that the docks where passenger ships and cargo ships docked were different.Nolan took a passenger ship and docked at the dock. The area he saw after walking out was a high-end commercial district. The stores opened there were all well-known business groups and brand stores. The main customer groups were the rich and high-ranking officials. Your Majesty, the prices of the goods sold will naturally be very unfriendly to the people, so there won't be a lot of people in that area.

The main function of the high-end business district is to serve as the urban image of Talia City and is planned and architecturally planned. As the main economic force of Talia City, the mid- to low-end business district is located next to the high-end business district, because the image is not very good.Therefore, you can see the streets of these two areas from the dock where the passenger ship docks.

"The face-saving project has been done well." Nolan couldn't help complaining. After understanding the basic situation of Thalia City, Nolan also breathed a sigh of relief. Prices are not as high as he thought before. It would be nice if it was outrageous, so that he could start taking action as planned.

In the current era of great navigation, for ordinary people, the three most important aspects are food, housing and clothing. For the country and the navy, raw materials for building infrastructure and resources related to manufacturing weapons are the most important for ordinary businessmen. An area that is easy to intervene in.

However, raw materials and resources are basically in the hands of large groups and forces, and Nolan, who is still alone, is not yet able to touch them.

Since this is the case, then start with the food, housing and clothing of ordinary people. This is also a relatively risk-free investment.With the decision made, Nolan walked towards the street.

Of course, it is impossible for him to buy goods here and sell them here. Doing so is simply seeking death.He wants to buy goods here and then sell them somewhere else.

The space opened up by Nolan's ability to store fruits can preserve things, but it cannot prevent the things inside from deteriorating, so if you want to buy something, you have to buy something that can be stored for a long time.

In this world, the land area of ​​most countries is not too large, so the demand for food has always been huge. This is also a problem that those countries have not been able to solve. They can only rely on imports. When it comes to food, it can be stored for a long time. It's just rice and flour, and if Nolan uses his own ability to preserve it, he doesn't have to worry about getting damp or being flooded.

The only thing Nolan needs to worry about is how much space Nolan will have to store the food.

Nolan has already done testing on this issue. According to the coat he designed with many pockets, if all of them are used to hold grain, it can probably hold about ten tons.

However, Nolan didn't want to use all the space to store food, just half of it, and the remaining half of the space was used to store other things.

Just as Nolan was excitedly thinking about his plan, the middle-aged man in a red suit standing next to him suddenly said: "Looking at the bloody look on your face, did you see something you want to buy? "

"Ah" Nolan was taken aback. He really forgot about the enthusiastic middle-aged man who brought him here. "No, no, I was just a little excited when I thought of starting a business. Haha" Nolan naturally didn't The fact that he is revealed to be a Devil Fruit user is one of his trump cards.

"By the way, thank you for bringing me here and telling me so many things about Thalia City." Nolan bent down and thanked the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man waved his hand and said, "It's okay. I have nothing to do anyway."

"Um...then..." Nolan poked his hand in embarrassment and stuttered a bit.Now he wants to act alone, but is too embarrassed to speak.

The middle-aged man was very observant. He saw what Nolan was going to do, but he didn't want to follow him. Before Nolan could say anything, he said cheerfully: "I still have something to do, little brother. Just take a stroll by yourself."

Unexpectedly, the other party was so forthcoming, Nolan happily replied: "Yes, thank you for asking today."

The middle-aged man smiled and left.Nolan stood there and watched the middle-aged man leave until there was no one left in sight.

"Ah, I forgot to ask him his name." Nolan, who was about to turn around to buy food, suddenly remembered that he still didn't know the other person's name. He had helped him so much, but he still didn't know how to ask him. No matter what, he had to ask. Let's have a meal or something. This is really rude.

He scratched his head with some annoyance and said, "Oh, I'll ask you next time I meet you. Anyway, I will stay here for a few more days." I thought that if I encounter a similar situation again in the future, I must not do it again. The same mistake happened, and Nolan started looking for a store where he could buy food.

After comparing several stores, Nolan chose a store with good price and quality, and bought 2.5 tons of rice and flour each.

After buying something, of course it is impossible to activate the ability and put it into your pocket on the spot.After asking the store where he could rent a warehouse, Nolan ran to rent two warehouses and brought all the grain he bought inside.

After buying the food, the next step is to buy other things.But seeing that he only had 6 Baileys in savings, Nolan felt a little guilty.No matter what, 6 beli really can't buy anything. I have to keep some for traveling expenses. No matter where I go, I have to spend money on food, accommodation and transportation.

It’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Without money, she really can’t do anything. 6 beli, no matter what, I have to keep 5 beli for living expenses. God knows when the food will be sold out.

Although I don’t have money to spend, I still can’t go shopping. Why don’t the people who open stores here still let people look at them?

With a budget of [-] Baileys, Nolan started shopping with his head high. I don’t know if he thought he had a huge sum of money. According to Nolan’s words, no matter what the situation is, he must not lose in terms of momentum.

After shopping for a long time, Nolan still couldn't spend the [-] Baileys.Since you can't shop anymore, let's go find information about the consignee.

Taking the note, Nolan asked the old merchant who had opened a store here for more than ten years.

"Hello, boss, do you know there is a man named Hoh Xil in Talia City?"

The boss frowned and thought for a while, then said, "I've never heard of it."

Sure enough, it was like this again. Nolan was a little speechless, but he would not give up. Since he promised to deliver it, Nolan would definitely deliver it.

Pass the note to the boss, "Boss, this is the address of the consignee given to me by the person who asked me to help deliver the goods. Take a look and see if you have any clues."

The boss took the note and as soon as he saw the content in the note, he exclaimed: "Oh...it turns out to be that person."

Nolan's eyes lit up. It seemed that the boss knew who the consignee was, and he asked excitedly: "Boss, do you know who the address is?"

The boss nodded, "Well, people who have just been here for a few years may not know it yet, but anyone who has stayed in Thalia for ten years will know it."
