One Thousand Six Hundred and One. The News of the Rich and the Enemy

Little Blake introduced Qin Shiou and the young man, whose name is Logan Leibniz and whose hometown is Scotland.

Qin Shiou shook hands with him, and after learning about his hometown, he suddenly realized that he is not from Hongxiang, but Shamat, and his hair color is natural.

There are relatively few people who are naturally red, especially Logan's red is not the usual reddish brown, but deep red. If it grows a little longer and shakes, Qin Shiou can be regarded as a flame burning.

As far as he knows, people with red heads account for less than 2% of the global population. This color is the result of a genetic mutation of the Nordic people thousands of years ago. It originated in Scotland, and most of them exist in Scotland. About 10% of Scots carry the red gene, and 13% of Scots have a reddish-brown head.

Although Logan was young, he was not arrogant. After shaking hands with Qin Shiou, he asked with a smile: "Mr. Qin, can we go and see that holy sandalwood tree? If the quality is okay, I think I can pay for it today. "

Qin Shiou said: "Mr. Leibniz is so refreshing, please come with me, I have already prepared the wood, just waiting for you to come and watch."

Logan followed behind him and asked, "Would you mind telling me about the source of this holy sandalwood tree?"

This request is very reasonable. The holy sandalwood is a rare wood. Although it is not as good as pearls, gold and diamonds, but because of its high value, a certain certificate is required to buy this thing.

Qin Shiou didn't have a proof of ownership, so he simply said: "This timber was left by the previous owner of the fishery. He had a ruined warehouse. I built this house not long ago, and I found it when I cleaned up the warehouse."

Logan nodded without getting to the bottom of it. The wood has been prepared in advance. It is about three meters high and the thigh thickness of an adult woman. It is estimated to be about two tons.

This is the second weight of holy sandalwood. Qin Shiou needs wood of the same size to build the pavilion. Such long and thick wood is not needed, so it is best to sell it.

Logan brought two well-mannered middle-aged men. When the two saw the wood, they went up to observe it, looked at it and stroked it. Later, one of them asked Qin Shiou if he could take a little off for analysis.

Qin Shiou said no problem, and Little Black was a little unhappy. Logan, who was watching the fishing scene with great interest, waved to the two middle-aged men and asked a few words in a low voice.

The holy sandalwood is relatively easy to recognize. The two middle-aged men are obviously experts in wood or vegetation that he invited. They can roughly determine the identity of the holy sandalwood. The analysis just now is for the sake of insurance.

After getting two answers,

Logan nodded and said, "OK. No problem, let's talk about the price now, Mr. Qin, will you sell it by the gram or give me a price directly?"

Qin Shiou said: "This tree is about two tons, I hope the price is 10 million Canadian dollars, what do you think?"

Logan thought for a while and said: "To be honest, the price is a bit high, Mr. Qin, please listen to me, I am not trying to lower the price. You see, this tree should have been soaked in water for a long time, right? Although there are many white silks, But it's too vague."

Qin Shiou shrugged and said, "Then how much do you think the price is appropriate?"

Logan said: "Eight million, I can give you a price of eight million."

Qin Shiou smiled and said: "Logan, my buddy, maybe you don't know me very well, if the price I give you is negotiable, I will give you 11 million or 10.8 million or something. But what I give you is a round number of ten million, which is the price I want to sell. If you think it is too expensive, then I can only say sorry."

The holy sandalwood is not worried about selling. And he would not sell it to build pavilions in the garden, so there is no need to reduce the price.

Little Black reconciled, and he whispered: "This kid's Leibniz family is quite powerful in the province, and what they say can be effective in the whole of Western Canada. So you might as well lower the price and make friends with him."

"What does their family do?" Qin Shiou had never heard of it.

Little Blake introduced: "There are many shooting and hunting industries. The Leibniz family is one of the first large British families to come to Canada. The photoelectric media, construction industry and education industry all account for a large proportion of their families."

Qin Shiou nodded to express his understanding. Thinking that Daqin's seafood business would expand to Western Canada, he decided to sell Logan to save face. Said, "Man, how about nine million?"

Logan is very straightforward, not as arrogant as ordinary youths, nor as greedy as veteran businessmen. After hearing Qin Shiou's quotation, he smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and said, "No problem, I accept this price, Mr. Qin, Happy cooperation."

Logan wrote a check to Qin Shiou. With Little Blake's relationship, he was not worried that the check was fake, so he put it away in his wallet and asked Logan what to do with the wood.

Logan waved his hand, and the four big men tied the wood to one side of the bracket under the helicopter, so that it would neither affect the takeoff and landing nor the flight of the helicopter, which was simple.

Qin Shiou wanted to make friends with Logan, but unfortunately this fishing ground didn't even have a place to sit, so it was not suitable for chatting, so he could only exchange contact information with the other party and invite him to visit Daqin Fishing Ground if he had the opportunity.

After sending Logan away, Little Blake stayed, and Qin Shiou asked in surprise, "Aren't you going together?"

Little Black rubbed his hands, and said mysteriously: "I recently got a big piece of news. If the news is true, if we get it again, it will be really rich!"

Qin Shiou smiled and said, "What news? Has Alexander the Great's treasure been found?"

Little Blake frowned, and said: "Seriously, buddy, I'm serious, do you know the galleon San Jose more than 300 years ago? It was a treasure ship belonging to Spain, and now I have information about it !"

Qin Shiou shook his head. Fish farming is his main business, and salvaging sunken treasures is just a sideline. Although Billy gave him a lot of information about sunken ships, he didn't understand them carefully.

Little Blake introduced it to him, saying that the San Jose was a very famous ship in the Spanish Age of Discovery. It was not a professional treasure transport ship, but a transformed troop transport ship, which was probably equivalent to the plunder ships owned by the Spanish state.

This ship once robbed many treasures in South America. Later, during the period of Felipe V, it carried a ship of gold and silver treasures and wanted to send them back to Spain for military expenses. At that time, Felipe V was at war with the British Empire. The two sides are vying for the supremacy of the sea.

As a result, something unfortunate happened, and a British fleet encountered the treasure ship. If it was just an ordinary treasure transport ship, then the British fleet would definitely capture it, but this ship was transformed from a troop transport ship.

Therefore, the enemies were extremely jealous when they met each other, the Armada of the British Empire sank with a round of heavy artillery apart from anything else! (To be continued.)
