One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 306: Business is all about brains

When a group of people from the Red Hair Pirates carried supplies and followed Jesus Bu to the villa in the center of the village, their momentum was so imposing that people who didn't know would think they were here to rob. At least that's what the rich family thought. The housekeepers and maids took up their weapons and prepared for a fight. Of course, this was just an ordinary rich family after all, and the housekeepers and maids were not Alfred and the fighting maids from Nazarick Cemetery, so even though they had guns in their hands, their bodies were actually shaking, especially when one of them recognized Shanks and Buggy.

"Hello! Mr. Tadalia! It's me! Jesus Bu! Don't worry! These guys are good people, they want to discuss business with you! Don't worry! I promise they have no ill intentions!" Jesus Bu made his hands into a trumpet shape and shouted loudly at the villa.

"They are a group of pirates! Jesus Bu! How can you trust them! Who knows if they have deceived you!" A voice came from the villa, it should be Mr. Dattaglia.

"I'll call." Bucky stepped forward, patted Jesus' shoulder, and then shouted to the villa:

"Mr. Tartaglia! First of all, we did not deceive Jesus Bu. In fact, we just had a meal in his tavern and paid for the meal. As for the things we want to trade, we will leave samples for you. We will stay in Jesus Bu's tavern during this period of time. If you agree to the deal, send someone to find us. If you disagree, then this can be regarded as our apology for disturbing you." After Buggy finished speaking, he took out a small box from the box above Shanks' head and placed it on the ground, then waved to everyone to turn around and leave.

"Are we just leaving like this?" Shanks whispered to Buggy as they walked.

"We must leave. He doesn't trust us. He won't come out if we stay any longer. If we force our way in, we'll be no different from robbers. But businessmen like this are profit-driven. I left something behind, and he will take a look no matter what. It's impossible for a seafaring merchant to have never done business with pirates. When he finds out the value of the things we give him, it's impossible for him not to be tempted. Then, hehehe." Buggy grinned. No one knew where he learned this, or if he learned it on his own. Anyway, Buggy just knew how to do this.

"Then he will come and do business with us?" Jesus Bu also asked. He didn't realize that his name had unconsciously changed from you to us.

"Almost. But he will most likely investigate us first. After all, judging from his actions just now, he is a very cautious person. A cautious person will investigate first even if he is tempted by interests. At least he will make sure that we are not a big enough threat before he takes action." Bucky said with a smile.

"So what should we do next?" If Shanks, as the captain, is the authority under normal circumstances, then when it comes to any issue related to money, the members of the Red Hair Pirates will all ask Buggy and obey Buggy's decision. There is nothing they can do, others just can't understand.

"What's next, hehe." Bucky showed a sly smile on his face and turned to look at Jesus Bu, "Hey man, do you have any good connections? I can help you make some money. Although you can't make a fortune, you can make hundreds of thousands of Baileys."

"Really? It's not an illegal job, is it?" Jesus looked at Baki. He wanted to make money. After all, who would dislike living a good life? But if he was asked to do something illegal, Jesus himself would be fine, but he couldn't do it with his friends in the village. He could be shameless himself, but he couldn't hurt others.

"Don't worry, it's not illegal. This is a bait to lure this rich businessman. Although it is a bait, it can indeed make you some money." Bucky said.

"Let's go back to the tavern and tell me everything in detail. No, tell Bankina about it. I don't know much about business and Bankina is better than me." Jesus couldn't resist his curiosity and grabbed Buggy and prepared to head towards his own tavern, but was immediately stopped by Shanks.

"Don't we still need to buy things? I remember your wife said before we came out that your family has no surplus food." Shanks was very reliable this time and remembered something that even Beckman almost forgot.

Thinking about his wife's instructions, Jesus Bu led the crowd to the grain store in the center of the town, and under the surprised gaze of the store owner, they frantically swept the shelves. In simple terms, they bought everything that could be bought, and then ran to the fish market and the butcher shop to sweep them frantically. Finally, when everyone could no longer carry the things and all the remaining Baileys were emptied, they returned to the tavern.

"Why did you buy so many things!" Banchina stared at the people who came back in amazement. These people moved too many things! They couldn't even get in the door, so they had to pile them up at the door. That was because Bailey hadn't depreciated so much, and as a small town, the prices in Sibro were relatively low, so they could buy so many things with this money. "Come on, you take a rest, I'll cook this meal." Lazi Lu volunteered to take on the task of dinner. After all, he was the chef on the ship. Compared to Banchina, who could only cook a few side dishes, Lazi Lu could eat and cook, and his cooking skills were much better than Banchina.

"Banchina, come and listen to this for me. Bucky said he could help us make money. You know I'm not good at this. Come and see if this can work?" Just when Banchina didn't know what to say when she saw Lacy Lu holding a bunch of ingredients and walking towards the kitchen without any courtesy, Jesus Bu called her.

"How do you make money?" Banchina turned around and asked. Although Banchina is just a small town girl, her talent is really unreliable. For example, Yamato, the daughter of Kaido and Lily, is very smart and a good student. She is a negative product of excellence, so it is more difficult to let her study than to kill her.

Banchina's parents are ordinary farmers, but she has excellent learning ability. This tavern was taken over by relying on Banchina's intelligence. She may not be the most beautiful girl on the island, but she is definitely the smartest, which is also what attracted Jesus Bu.

"Look at this. This is a specialty of the Flower and Shell Island in the West Sea, flower pearls. It's not a rare thing, but that's only in the West Sea. It can be sold at a high price in other places. Our goal is to sell it here, and Mr. Tartaglia is obviously a businessman. He should know the value of this thing, and we can provide enough, which is almost impossible for a businessman to refuse." Bucky said.

"So what did Jesus just say about making money together?" asked Banchina.

"Like I said just now, this is a condition that a businessman can hardly refuse. The only reason that can make him refuse is the threat to his life. After all, we are pirates no matter what, and I don't need to say much about the reputation of pirates. It is strange for a pirate to do business honestly. He will definitely not believe us directly, but what if I'm already selling this in town?" Buggy said with that profiteer smile again.

"I see. For merchants, not earning something they could have earned is more painful than losing money. As long as you sell at a steady rate, they will become more and more anxious. The fact that those who buy from you are not harmed by you is also a signal to them that you will not harm others. This is a subtle pressure. When this pressure reaches a certain value, they will be tempted to buy from you. At that time, not only can you sell the goods, but you can also reasonably raise the price because they are no longer the only buyer."

Banchina immediately understood what Bucky meant and expressed her thoughts.

"And what you said about making money for everyone probably refers to those who buy these flower pearls. Tartaglia will not just sit there and watch the money go by. He will definitely find a way to buy these flower pearls from us. The price will definitely be higher then, but it doesn't matter. Anyway, he can go out and sell them at a higher price. He doesn't have to worry about losing money. As long as the price is not too high, he will definitely accept it."

After Banchina finished speaking, she found that Bucky was looking at her with sharp eyes, which made Banchina feel a little embarrassed. This made Jesus take a step forward to block Bucky's gaze.

"Hello, hey, this is my wife!" Jesus said to Bucky.

"Ah, don't get me wrong, that's not what I meant." Bucky immediately realized his own impoliteness and waved his hands. "I didn't expect that you could figure out all my plans after I said so much. I was so excited. You don't know that the people on our ship are all good hands, but it takes a lot of effort to get them to do business. In the end, I really had no choice but to do everything by myself."

As Bucky spoke, tears began to well up in his eyes. He looked so aggrieved, which made Jesus and Banchina stunned.
