Chapter 812 White Whale

The night was as cold as water, and there was silence on the dock of Port Mufas, as if the entire port had fallen into a deep sleep.

But at this moment, two sneaky figures suddenly appeared on the pier. They walked through some debris placed on the pier and came to a corner with ease.

I saw a few boats parked here, and the lights were still on. One of the dark figures stepped forward and whistled a few times. Someone on the boat immediately stuck their head out and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"Tell Moby Dick that an old friend is here!"

One of the dark figures raised his head and replied. The voice sounded like it was Barca who had returned to Egypt from Han Dynasty.

Hearing the people below call out the name of the white whale, the people on the boat also put down the planks of the boat. The two of them got on the boat. The person who came with him was his loyal servant Mance.

Just when the two of them got on the boat, they saw a big white fat man walking out of the cabin. When he saw Barcelona, ​​the fat white man also stretched out his arms happily and said with a smile: "Hey, my brother, I haven't seen you for so long. I thought you had forgotten me!"

"Haha, no one will forget you if you forget me. How are you doing recently? Is business going well?"

Barcelona also stepped forward and hugged each other. It was obvious that the relationship between the two was quite good.

"What a heck! The Ottomans are fighting with the Venetians again. Now the sea is full of warships from both countries. We don't even dare to go to sea!"

Unexpectedly, Fatty Bai actually said a little annoyed at this time.

He is white and fat, and he is also a famous smuggler in the Mediterranean area. He comes and goes as freely as a giant whale in the sea, so he has the title of white whale.

"The fight started again!"

Barcelona was shocked when he heard this. Although Beluga had a good relationship with him, he didn't know his true identity.

"Let's go into the cabin and talk in detail!"

Although Beluga was annoyed when talking about business, he still enthusiastically pulled Barca into the cabin, and even made expensive tea bought from the big man with his own hands. The two drank tea while chatting.

"Beluga, you guys really can't go out to sea?"

Barca had no intention of drinking tea and asked the white whale as soon as he sat down.

He didn't know that the Ottomans and Venice were fighting again, but the two countries were already in a state of war, and wars would break out from time to time. This state of affairs had lasted for many years, and Venice was even a little bit overwhelmed.

"It's not completely impossible, but why are you in such a hurry to go to sea?"

Beluga asked in confusion.

If you want to go to sea now, you have to make great efforts to find connections, and you also have to take great risks when going to sea. If you encounter an Ottoman or Venetian warship, the best result is that their ship will be requisitioned. If they are regarded as enemies by the other party, they may die at sea.

"I'm going to the island of Cyprus. I have a very important business to negotiate. If the negotiation is successful, then I won't have to worry about spending money for the rest of my life!"

Barcelona has already thought of the reason. After all, as a businessman, it is worth taking no matter how big the risk is to make money.

"Cyprus? No, the risk is too great. That is the center of the war between the Ottomans and the Venetians. I dare not go there!"

When Beluga heard this, he immediately shook his head and said that although he was brave, he did not want to die.

"Beluga, as long as you can send me to the island, I am willing to pay three times the price!"

Barcelona once again said that as long as he could return to Cyprus, he could successfully send the news back to Venice, so it was worth spending more money.

"Three times! You are really willing to spend money!" Hearing this, the white whale also showed a somewhat greedy look in his eyes.

However, Beluga did not agree immediately. Instead, he looked up and looked at Barcelona, ​​and then asked again: "Barcelona, ​​tell me honestly, why are you taking such a big risk to go to Cyprus?"

Beluga is also very shrewd, and he obviously has some doubts about Barcelona's identity. After all, no matter how greedy the businessman is, it seems a bit abnormal to take such a big risk to go to Cyprus.

"This one……"

I saw Barcelona deliberately hesitate for a moment, and then stared at the white whale and said: "Beluga, you don't have to think too much, I can also tell you that just a few months ago, I went to Dahan and found a hairy As long as I get to Cyprus, I will be able to convince a big shot on the island to make a fortune, and then I will be able to open up the trade route between the Han Dynasty and Venice!"

Barcelona's words are half true and half false, but the more so, the harder it is for people to find flaws.

Sure enough, when Beluga heard that Barcelona had gone to the legendary big man, his two little eyes hidden in the fat immediately lit up. He immediately grabbed Barcelona's arm excitedly and said: "Barcelona, ​​you have really found a way to make a fortune." Way?"

"Hey, if there is no such way, why should I go to sea at this time and risk being hanged?"

Barcelona smiled proudly again and said that he could feel that the white whale had been persuaded by him.

"Wait a minute, even if you have such a way, but the big man's goods have always been controlled by the Ottomans, how can you deliver the goods to Venice?"

Beluga suddenly frowned, then calmed down and said suspiciously.

"Don't worry about this. My trip was not in vain. Dahan has a way to deliver the goods directly to the border market in the middle of the river. Then I will personally go to the border market to pick up the goods and then transport them to Mufas Port. In the end, your fleet will be transported to the Venetians with the help of Beluga Whale, so you will definitely benefit from it by then!"

Barca said, patting the white whale on the shoulder and laughing.

"I want half!"

Unexpectedly, Beluga suddenly offered a price at this time.

"What half?"

Barcelona was stunned and didn't react for a while.

"Hey, Barcelona, ​​if you want to do this business, you have to use my method. I will take half of the profits. This condition is not too much, right?"

Beluga said with a cunning smile on his fat face.

In fact, Beluga did not completely believe what Barcelona said, but if this business was real, the profits would be so amazing, so Beluga felt that he could take a chance, and then he put forward his own conditions.

"No, you are too greedy. Just helping me transport the goods will take half of the profit. Then wouldn't I run away in vain?"

Barcelona immediately refused angrily. Of course, his anger was fake. After all, even the so-called business was fake, and the income was nonsense. But he had to be angry, and he couldn't agree too simply, otherwise it would cause the other party's anger. Suspect.

"Barcelona, ​​don't refuse so simply. The price is negotiable. If you think half is too much, how about 40%?"

Beluga took the initiative to lower the price and said, he just opened his mouth like a lion and never thought that the other party would agree.

"At most 10%!"

Barcelona finally made an offer, but it was obviously lower than Beluga's expectations. So the two bargained for a while, and Barcelona finally gave up 25% of the profit in exchange for Beluga to cooperate with him. Of course, the premise was that Beluga had to send him to sea.
