Farming in Pirate World
Chapter 54 Powerless

(); Li Ming frowned slightly, then thought about it and quickly changed to an enthusiastic look.
"This is a rare visitor. It has been three months since I left Air Island."
Li Ming said, looking at Kelvin thoughtfully,
Kelvin's fat face was slightly embarrassed:
"Isn't there something wrong on my end? But even so, I have not forgotten your matter at all. I have asked someone to deliver the livestock I owe you to you, and they are probably going to arrive soon."
Kelvin wiped his cold sweat, and the fat on his body kept coming out with the sweat.
"Is this person really the same kid three months ago...Why has he changed so much?!"
Three months ago, Kelvin escaped from a storm, fell into the hands of pirates, and escaped accidentally. His experience was comparable to a big adventure.
At that time, Kelvin was deeply impressed by Li Ming, the "devil fruit user" on the island.
Although being extorted by Li Ming made Kelvin a little unhappy, as a qualified businessman, he paid more attention to what he could get from it.
"This person has ability, temperament, and means."
When such a talent appeared on a desert island with no development value at all, the first thing that Kelvin thought of was how to get such a talent under his command.
He wants to recruit Li Ming.
However, at that time, I was in a state of embarrassment, with not even a decent piece of cloth on my body. It was impossible to recruit such a person into my subordinates. I could only wait until the next time 0 passed by, and then try to recruit him again.
There was no way, Li Ming's pile of contracts and IOUs blocked all the ways Kelvin could think of to default on his debts. If he tried to default on his debts, he would only lose more.
But who could have imagined that after he returned to the Kingdom of Saint Ni, something happened within the Chamber of Commerce. He was struggling with his opponents and had no intention of paying attention to Li Ming's affairs anymore.
Unexpectedly, after going round and round, I met this talent again.
At this time, when he saw the young man who could only be considered a "talent" three months ago, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he subconsciously took stock of whether he had offended him.
It's like a minister meeting a king. Every time he speaks a word, he has to chew it up before speaking it out to judge whether a certain word is inappropriate.
The momentum is so strong that even though he is not accompanying you, it is better than being accompanied by a tiger.
Li Ming looked at the former God of Wealth with some confusion, feeling a little baffled.
"Why are you sweating so much? The ventilation here is okay, it's not too hot."
Although he didn't like Kelvin, Li Ming didn't hate him either. After all, his first pot of gold was the fat scraped from him.
"No...it's fine."
Kelvin hurriedly recovered from his memories, and then quickly accepted the reality of his identity change, and then lowered his stance. After all, he was asking for help.
After all, he is a businessman, and his ability to receive information is still the same.
"It's fine."
"Speaking of which, when I was on Air Island, I felt a little regretful that I didn't entertain you properly. We must have a good drink today."
"I want to have a good drink. After all, today is Boss Li's happy day."
Li Ming tasted this sentence carefully and felt that something was somehow wrong.
Kelvin looked at Li Ming's thoughtful expression and became nervous again:
"Did I say something wrong? I didn't say anything wrong."
Soon, Li Ming regained his composure and continued to chat with Kelvin at every turn.
But soon, Li Ming discovered that Kelvin in front of him was obviously absent-minded.
In an instant, Li Ming made a bold guess, and his speech was not so golden.
In fact, Li Ming still has some problems with his positioning. With the current size of the Liming Chamber of Commerce, it is not a big deal in front of some big shots, but if it is in front of the head of a branch of a certain chamber of commerce like Kelvin, it will definitely not matter. You need to carefully take care of each other's emotions.
Even if it makes them unhappy, so what?
After these few days of dealing with various officials, Li Ming is gradually adapting to his identity.
"I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. I see that Mr. Kelvin, you are absent-minded. I'm afraid you are not just here to catch up with me. Is there anything on your mind?"
"Look at what you said. When I was on Air Island, I thought you were like a dragon or a phoenix among men. It won't be long before you spread your wings and fly. I came here today just to chat with you and learn from you. "
"Of course, by the way, there are indeed some things I would like to ask you to cooperate with."
After being exposed by Li Ming, Kelvin rubbed his hands nervously.
"Say."
Kelvin was obviously asking for help, but Li Ming showed no interest and simply stopped being polite to him.
In the final analysis, if you come to me to discuss cooperation, I will not say that I will provide for you. At least both parties are on an equal footing, and there is no harm in exchanging business blows at the beginning.
But if you come to me for help, that's a different matter.
Kelvin also felt the change in Li Ming's attitude, and lamented Li Ming's reality in his heart, but his expression did not change at all.
"I heard that your Dawn Chamber of Commerce has a large amount of grain in hand, and I would like to buy a batch from you."
"I don't know much about the grain trade. The specific person in charge is Dalton, who is also an old acquaintance of yours. You can talk to him."
"Well, it's just that the situation here is a bit special..."
Kelvin obviously talked to Dalton, but Dalton didn't agree.
"Recently, our family has had some difficulty in cash flow. I thought I would give you a batch of credit for the time being, and I will settle the bill for you when the cash flow comes over."
"Don't worry, as long as you are willing to give me credit, I guarantee that within two months, I will pay you [-]% higher than the market price... No, I will settle the bill for you at [-]% higher. What do you think?"
Even if it was [-]%, Li Ming's heart was not at all disturbed.
In a previous life, it was a routine business operation to get the goods first and then check out, and there was nothing unusual about it.
But this is a pirate world, and the food in Li Ming's hands is a scarce commodity, so there is no need to do this to ensure the circulation of goods.
He does need to open up sales channels, but this also means letting others beg him, rather than him begging others.
"Thirty percent? How much do you want?"
"One hundred tons, any grain will do, as long as there are one hundred tons..."
Li Ming waved his hand directly, signaling him to get out of here.
"How dare you even think about one hundred tons?!"
Li Ming can get away with one hundred tons of grain, but the commercial street in the economic park here has just opened, and he needs a large amount of goods to attract passenger flow.
If you really lend it to him, your plan will be delayed by at least half a month.
"Boss Kelvin, I'm sorry that I can't do anything about your request. You'd better think of a solution elsewhere."
