Today, the sun is shining brightly and cloudless all over Liyue. For the people, travelers and businessmen of Liyue, this is obviously a perfect weather for travel, voyages and business. Even if you don’t read the old almanac, you will know It's a good day for everything.
Of course, in addition to travel, voyages and business, other things are also suitable.
Just like...
smuggling?
No, off the coast of Liyue Port, south of Yaoguang Beach, east of Guiliyuan Coast, and northwest of Guyun Pavilion, in this quiet sea area off the main channel, the flagship "Death Star" of the fleet "Southern Cross" The ship and a medium-sized sailboat were quietly anchoring side by side and parked here.
At this time, it is not difficult to judge from the fact that several thin sailors on the watchtowers of the two ships are constantly looking nervously at the surrounding situation with monocular telescopes. They are on high alert, but from this point on It is not difficult to judge that they are probably not doing a legitimate and serious business.
'!
'
'Boss Beidou! '
'West! '
'There's a speedboat coming at high speed! '
Not long after, a sailor on the lookout discovered the situation and immediately shouted toward the deck under the mast.
"That is……"
That speedboat was indeed very fast. By the time Beidou, the leader of the "Southern Cross" and the captain of the flagship "Death Star", strode towards the bow of the ship, the other party had already opened some kind of elemental acceleration device. The runabout was very close and was slowing down urgently.
"snort!"
"Inazuma's turtle wave boat?"
For the "Southern Cross" fleet that can break through thunderstorms on the sea and normally travel between Liyue and Inazuma Islands, those short, fat, clumsy and unable to withstand wind and waves, those kind of turtles It's impossible for her not to recognize a little thing crawling on the sea!
Although, the small wave boat does not have any logo or flag, but it is not difficult to judge just from the modifications on it that are very winter-like. It is undoubtedly a speedboat that belongs to the Fools. There is no mistake. of.
Furthermore, only the fools know what happened to their "Southern Cross" fleet here today, and the purpose of that wave boat is so clear, it is self-evident who is coming.
"Fools are really all-knowing!"
"Can't even the thunderstorms in the vast sea stop their penetration and expansion?"
However, thinking that the Fools had indeed infiltrated Daozhu, and judging from the situation, the infiltration was very serious. Even that kind of wave boat had been transported to Liyue. It seemed that the energy was no less than that of their "Southern Cross" fleet. This made Beidou frown and make a fuss with some fear.
Of course, now is not the time to think about that kind of thing!
Because, Beidou saw it. When the small boat boarded their flagship "Death Star", soon, a familiar guy, several bank employees and two bodyguards quickly turned over through the rope net. Come on deck.
Among them, what surprised and frightened Beidou the most was that even those guys who could tell they were employees of Beiguo Bank just by looking at their clothes were all skilled in martial arts, and their hands were no better than hers. Are some of the elite sailors on the flagship "Dead Star" worse?
However, now is the time to think about things.
Seeing that the group of seven or eight people had all boarded the deck and were walking towards the bow of the ship, Beidou quickly put away all the thoughts in his mind and changed his face to greet them with a formulaic smile. Go up.
"ha!"
"welcome!"
"I never expected that the famous "Young Master" would come in person. What a rare visitor! "
While smiling and talking loudly, Beidou did not forget to slightly cup his hands towards the young master in accordance with Liyue's etiquette.
"where!"
"I heard from my subordinates that Captain Beidou recently had a batch of rare cargo. I happened to have nothing to do recently, so I decided to make this trip."
"Captain Beidou shouldn't mind, right?"
Hearing this, the young master who was already very good at communication and was also the plenipotentiary ambassador sent to Liyue by the Winter Kingdom first made a vague gesture towards his subordinates, and then he also smiled and walked forward to greet them. He bowed his hand.
"alright."
Unfortunately, Beidou suddenly stopped smiling.
"Without further ado!"
"Did you bring the money?"
Since the transaction this time was 'special' in-demand goods, and their Southern Cross fleet was the only one in Liyue that had them, based on certain ideas, Beidou simply acted in its true colors, setting the stage and not giving any goods at all. Fang Ding showed some dignity and went straight to the executive officer, the eleventh seat of the Fools, who seemed to want to say something, and asked coldly.
At the same time, Beidou did not forget to subconsciously glance at the small sampan on the opposite sea surface.
The wave boat was very small, and it was already the limit to accommodate seven or eight people. Therefore, she did not think that a rotten wooden boat could hold mola equivalent to her cargo.
"money?"
The young master was slightly startled, but soon laughed again.
"of course!"
"Look, Manager Andrei of Beiguo Bank and Miss Yekaterina, the counter receptionist, are both here. I brought them both. As long as there is no problem with the goods, we can handle the storage and exchange business on site."
"We are professionals. Captain Beidou doesn't have to worry about this."
After gesturing to the bank manager and the teller behind him to take two steps forward, the young master smiled and said this to Beidou, who had a frosty face, looking confident and well-prepared.
"!
"
However, Beidou didn't buy it.
"Do you think I'm stupid?"
"What we need is cash!"
"It's boxes of gold coins!"
She raised her eyebrows in an instant, and used her one eye full of anger to glare at the foolish executive officer in front of her and scolded him, as if she would turn against him and chase him away if he disagreed with him.
"this……"
"Captain Beidou."
"Based on the reputation of our Northland Bank, is there any difference between a passbook and cash?"
His shoulders were slumped, and although the young master had a scornful look on his face, he still felt a little disapproving and asked the question playfully.
"..."
Unfortunately, Beidou didn't speak, and just continued to stare at the opponent with his angry one eye.
"Alright alright!"
"I have prepared cash, but..."
"Who doesn't know the names of your "Southern Cross" fleet and your flagship "Death Star"? "
"I will never be stupid enough to bring a huge amount of money here. If you rob me then, I won't have anywhere to cry."
"Everyone knows that Lord Beidou is known as the 'Uncrowned Dragon King'. On the sea, even we fools have to be careful."
Seeing that he could no longer act stupid, the young master had no choice but to show weakness and began to compliment Beidou as much as he could.
Moreover, not all what he said were polite words and compliments!
You know, Beidou has quite a reputation in Liyue.
Although she is slightly inferior to the "Liyue Seven Stars", anyone who is a businessman in Liyue will definitely know the name of Beidou and the fleet "Southern Cross".
Faced with such a person, especially when there are various rumors about the other person, such as stories about opening mountains and breaking the sea, showing divine power, etc. Even though that is a bit exaggerated, the young master also knows that the other person's illustrious reputation is absolutely It's not something he lets go. Here in Liyue, especially on the sea, no matter how cautious he is, he can never be too cautious.
"snort!"
"me too!"
Although he felt a little proud in his heart, Beidou did not change his expression and continued to snort:
"You fools are very difficult to deal with!"
"have a look!"
"We even brought Rice Wife's wave boat here. Is there any other place in this Teyvat continent that you fools can't reach?"
"I don't trust you at all!"
Once again, Beidou glanced at the wave boat on the sea, then stared at the young master who still had a playful smile on his face without hiding his thoughts at all.
"Ouch!"
"rest assured!"
"In this sea area of Liyue, we fools will not be enemies with you, Captain Beidou."
"Besides..."
"This is near the Guyun Pavilion Island Group, very close to Liyue Port, and it is still your Southern Cross territory. We are the ones who should be careful!"
Waving his hand, the young master continued to compliment.
"hope so!"
"Say it!"
"How do you want to trade?"
"If you don't have cash, you can go back!"
Beidou became a little impatient and asked directly in a cold voice.
You know, this 'smuggling' business is not like bargaining in ordinary dock shops. This kind of risky business is usually done after the price and transaction method have been agreed upon in advance. If the other party insists on making temporary changes, then she can't say anything. It is necessary to let the first mate Zhongzuo lead the people to throw the opponent directly into the sea.
"Cash money..."
"no problem!"
"but……"
"We need to inspect the goods first!"
"If there is no problem with the goods, our ship will arrive within half an hour after receiving the signal, and the money and goods will be settled on the spot!"
"how?"
Seeing that Beidou seemed to be turning against him, he had no choice but to smile and tell them another plan.
Of course, this other plan was their original plan, and what he just said was just a backup plan he came up with at the last moment.
"..."
"Chongzuo!"
"go!"
"Take them to the cabin of that ship to inspect the goods!"
After staring at the smiling young master for a while, Beidou finally said nothing, just waved his hand and gave an order to her first mate.
"yes!"
The first mate did not hesitate, and after responding, he extended his hand towards the young master.
At the same time, the medium-sized sailboat parked side by side with the flagship "Death Star" also put up two long wooden boards at the right time, indicating that the guests on the flagship "Death Star" could go over to inspect the goods.
"very good!"
"You go ahead!"
Unfortunately, the young master had no intention of going there in person. Instead, he waved to the two fool guards behind him, Andrei, the manager of Northland Bank, and Yekaterina, the receptionist at the counter, to follow him to the cabin of the opposite ship to inspect the goods. .
"..."
"..."
"..."
Not long after, under the leadership of Chongzuo, the group of people filed onto the cargo ship whose deck was much shorter than that of the Death Star, and entered below the deck one after another, disappearing without a trace.
"Ahem!"
"that……"
"Captain Beidou, can you tell me how you got this batch of goods?"
Knowing whether those people would come out soon, the young master thought for a while, then took two steps forward, walked to Beidou's side, and pretended to be familiar with them and spoke to them.
"..."
"No comment!"
Unfortunately, Beidou still glanced at the other party coldly and gave the other party a slap on the back of his head, not wanting to answer the question at all.
"Hello!"
"Don't be so heartless!"
"Can't you just talk about it?"
The young master was a little unwilling and walked towards Beidou with a smile.
"..."
It is true that the other party's pretty face and the playful smile on it are very confusing. If it were another woman, maybe she would really be confused?
"overseas!"
However, Beidou didn't buy it. Instead, he replied briefly with some disgust and disgust.
"overseas?"
"Where overseas?"
"Ina wife?"
"By the way, we fools also have some business in Daozhu."
"Maybe……"
"Can we help a little?"
The young master continued to laugh and suggested kindly.
However, he would not tell Beidou in front of him: They fooled the rice wives overseas not only to have business, but for countless years, they had been secretly supporting the resistance and fighting against General Thunder.
As for basic penetration, let alone that!
Their eyes and ears have long been spread all over the Inazuma Islands, and they are probably thinking of ways to kill the Thunderbolt General!
Therefore, as long as the other party gives a rough name of a place, he guarantees that within a month, detailed information within a hundred miles of that place will be placed on his son's desk.
"..."
However, Beidou didn't speak, he just stared at the other person coldly with his one eye.
"You ask too many questions."
"No comment!"
Obviously, Beidou was not stupid at all, and he directly and ruthlessly shattered some of the opponent's illusions.
"All right!"
With slumped shoulders, the young master's expression fell, and he walked aside to look at the sea view, seeming a little regretful?
"!
"
"Well?"
Not long after the two of them ended their conversation, the young man who was wondering what he was thinking suddenly discovered that the bank manager Andre and the others who had just gone to inspect the goods were back.
"Master!"
"The goods have been inspected and there are no problems."
"The number is probably about right."
With that said, Andre, the manager of Beiguo Bank, leaned into the young master's ear and whispered a report.
They had just randomly selected a few boxes for inspection, and even poured out two boxes at random. Then all the boxes were opened, and there was no doubt that they were all "new coins"!
Each box contains about 10,000 coins, which is one hundred million moras. There are twenty boxes in total, which is a full two billion coins. If converted into old coins, it would be 50 billion coins!
It is estimated that only their Beiguo Bank, a bank with the knowledge of Winter Country and Fools, can handle such a large business. If it were another Liyue bank, even if it could take out the cash, it would probably not dare to ship it out. Liyue City.
"very good!"
"Send the signal and prepare to trade!"
After hearing this, the young master did not care about Hu and waved his hand directly under Beidou's gaze.
Immediately after receiving the order, the fat Fool guard fired a shot into the sky with some kind of firearm-like weapon, and then, a red firework flew straight into the sky and exploded.
soon!
Probably less than a quarter of an hour later, a cruising Fools cargo ship appeared on the sea level to the west, and slowly but firmly drove towards them.
…
In this way, after the foolish cargo ship arrived slowly and the people from the Southern Cross fleet also inspected the goods, the people from both sides quickly began to formally deliver, and even boarded each other's almost identical merchant ship and Start preparing to evacuate the scene.
"Master!"
At this moment, when the Fools and the others were about to leave the Omen of Death and board the cargo ship, Beidou suddenly shouted this.
"Um?"
"What are you doing?"
"Captain Beidou, do you want a drink or two?"
"Then I'll go to Liuliting or Xinyuexuan to make a date?"
"nature!"
"The Zhuxifang is also available."
The young master turned around and asked with a smile.
This time, their Northland Bank can make a big profit, with a net profit of about 10 billion. However, they need to wait and see for a while before they can get the profits. At the same time, they will also use part of it, leaving the rest. The deposits will be retained as fixed assets of Beiguo Bank.
In his opinion, those "new coins" of Mora, regardless of whether they are fake or not, can be easily exchanged at a ratio of one to thirty. But now, they are paying twenty-five to The exchange rate was taken down, which was 20% of the profit. He had made a great contribution this time, so he definitely needed to please Captain Beidou.
"No!"
"What I want to say is..."
Shaking his head and staring at the young man for a while, Beidou continued hesitantly:
"Is such that!"
"If we still have the goods, can you, Beiguo Bank, still eat it?"
After a pause and careful consideration, Beidou suddenly asked, whetting the opponent's appetite.
"oh?"
"How many more do you have?"
The young master was startled and frowned slightly, then he laughed and asked.
"That's impossible to say!"
"I want to know even more how much more you can eat!"
Beidou didn't answer the other party's question, he still asked with a sneer as if everyone owed her millions of molas.
"ha!"
"interesting!"
At this moment, the way the young master looked at Beidou finally changed.
However, he was not in a hurry to express his position. Instead, he pondered and turned his head to look at Guyun Pavilion Island in the distance.
"Let's put it that way!"
"We at Beiguo Bank will eat as much as you have!"
"nature!"
"As the number increases, the proportion may be adjusted downward?"
"But I can guarantee that no matter how many you have, the ratio we give will not be lower than twenty-three!"
"certainly!"
"The specific exchange rate depends on the specific situation at that time?"
The young master said this confidently.
The black market price of those 'new coins' has already exceeded thirty-five six, and the standard price given by their stupid alchemists is between twenty-seven and twenty-eight, not to mention lowering the exchange rate. , even if they are still twenty-five in the future, they will definitely make money without losing money!
"very good!"
"Then it's settled!"
Beidou thought for a while, reluctantly agreed with the other party's statement, and signaled that the other party could leave.
"Hello!"
"Captain Beidou!"
“When is the next transaction?”
Not long after, as the ships on both sides gradually moved away, the young man standing at the stern of the cargo ship suddenly waved and asked loudly.
"Our people will inform you then!"
Unfortunately, Beidou still didn't say more.
"Yeah?"
"interesting……"
Watching the two ships of Beidou gradually go away, the young master standing at the stern was silent for a long time, and finally sighed softly and laughed to himself.
He just wanted to judge the round-trip time of the other party's fleet from the next transaction time to deduce the specific source of those moras, but now it seems that that woman is really difficult to deal with.
But he is not in a hurry. In the future, as the number of transactions increases, he will have enough time and opportunity to inquire slowly, and he can also deduce some clues through the intervals between transactions.
"Let's go!"
"First sail the ship back to our secret port and transport this batch of goods back to Winter!"
The young master obviously does not want to bring these sensitive things back to Liyue Port. After all, if Liyue finds out, he will have no place to protest if they confiscate them!
Therefore, he could only wave his hands and give orders.
"yes!"
"I obey my orders!"
Hearing this, a fool among the guards stood at attention and agreed, then turned around and quickly gave orders.
In this way, on this sunny afternoon, in this secret offshore area northeast of Liyue Port, Liyue's largest smuggling fleet and Liyue's largest spy leader quietly completed their mission. This secret transaction.
