"The girl named Lilu and her companions are businessmen in Amsterdam."
Bergstrom put his head in his hands and thought for a while, then asked Gerhardt.
Bergstrom nodded and motioned for the scout to continue.
"That morning, when I went to the port to board the ship, I suddenly saw Shupaiya shouting at the port. I wanted to avoid it, but turned around and bumped into her. The paper in her hand fell in front of me, and I saw that it was A trade license from the Dutch government. Before I could pick it up and give it back to her, she grabbed it, as if I wanted to snatch it away. So I asked her if she was here to do business, and she immediately got angry and put one hand on her waist. Waving the certificate in his hand, he said, 'Of course! I'm a genuine businessman! Chapter 93: Little fool, look, there's my ship there! The Alenheim! It's great! The glass of Amsterdam You are very welcome here, am I right, Camille?'"
"I came back late because Shupaiya blocked the port and searched the whole city. I finally managed to find a way to come back by land" What followed was obviously a request for credit.
Burgers waved his hand, and the scout stopped. He asked the scout to go down and have a good rest, and at the same time gave him a few days off, and gave him a sum of money that would allow him to spend several days in luxury.
"Is she a beauty?" Charlie asked in an unserious voice, with an obvious expression of expectation on his face.
Seven days later, the scouts brought back an interesting news: Shupaiya had an argument with someone at the dock and was scolded without the ability to reply. Bergstrom became interested.
"There are two young men walking behind them. One is a black-haired mixed-race boy, but he has very good skills. The other is very fat, three times the size of his companions He has a character that trusts others easily."
"Fernande, just remember the name." The scout apologized for his failure, but he was instructed to continue.
"Why do you say that?" Bergstrom asked.
"There are three of them, all male. There is a little idiot named Chapter 93 who is always by her side. He looks quite thin and very beautiful¡ª¡ª"
Bergers swept over Gerhardt, who was determined, Charlie, who couldn't wait to have a big fight, and Manuel, who looked at the record with joy, and said: "Every point is good for us."
"Businessman?!" Manuel looked surprised, "Isn't that girl only sixteen or seventeen years old?"
¡°Here¡¯s what happened¡ª¡± the scout began to report. "This girl's name is Lilu¡ù#8226; Agot."
Gerhardt reported from the side: "The Netherlands has just opened Amsterdam as a trading port. At the same time, in order to promote maritime trade, it provides concessions and other preferential policies to merchants."
"Because I heard the fat man kept shouting that he was hungry and wanted something delicious. His companion told him some famous dishes in Hamburg, and he felt very good after hearing it."
There are also some small countries, such as Sweden and the Netherlands, which have just passed maritime trade laws. There must be many young, powerful and ambitious people like Bergstr?m, but they cannot be found at once. What's more, Sweden is deep in the Baltic Sea, and the Shupaia Business Association controls several surrounding cities that export. If there is any action, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be discovered.
When the scout¡¯s grateful words disappeared outside the door, the four people in the room got together. The eight eyes reveal the same message: This is an excellent opportunity!
"Hard drugs and kapok fillers make a perfect pair, don't they?" Although everyone has the same feeling, Charlie is the only one who can use this metaphor.
"How many companions does she have? What kind of people are they?" Charlie asked.
If you want to bring him down, you can't just fight. Shupaiya has always been on good terms with the government. Once a war breaks out, the navy from Hamburg and other surrounding ports will definitely come to support, and diplomatic problems will also arise. Or find a way to cut off its financial resources in business, but this is not possible. Firstly, Bergstem does not have the huge financial resources to seize the market; secondly, Shupaiya controls more than a dozen ports, even if it can seize one of the cities, It doesn't make any sense either. Neither path works.
Gerhardt stopped Charlie expressionlessly and asked the scout to continue.
"Yes, this girl came exactly from the port of Amsterdam, and her companions"
Bergstrom and Gerhardt looked at each other, and Gerhardt asked: "What's the name of that half-breed?"
Manuel knows a lot about ships and is good at writing, but he doesn¡¯t know much about fighting; Charlie likes cannons and discusses tactics, but he doesn¡¯t know how to deal with a cunning businessman. ?Erhart possesses the first-class abilities of an admiral. He was also born in Germany and has sufficient knowledge of the country. However, he is a soldier and has no understanding of business. The four people discussed until dawn, but could not reach a unified opinion, so they had to give up. President Bergstrom could only send scouts to monitor Shupaiya's actions.
"They walked towards their ship. Judging from what they said just now, they should have negotiated a deal and were about to unload the cargo. Then they ran into the Shupaiya Business Association. People from Shupaiya occupied the entire dock. No one came to fight, and no one took care of it. Everyone tried to avoid it. Lilu obviously didn't understand the situation here. She just rushed forward and asked Shupaiya to make way. How could Shupaiya be so familiar with such a little girl? Ask your men to take her away." The scout said this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he became excited.
Gerhardt said decisively: "Now we know a few things: First, the Netherlands has also begun to intervene in maritime trade, which is a new opponent for Shupaiya. Second, Dutch businessmen are obviously interested in Shupaiya. Shupaiya is dissatisfied, and they have the support of the Dutch government. Thirdly, Shupaiya¡¯s actions have aroused public outrage in Hamburg. No one is willing to stand on his side and speak. If someone can take the lead, the whole city will respond. Lilu Being able to escape and delay is the best proof. Fourth, the local government has gradually felt that it can no longer tolerate Shupaiya. If Shupaiya cannot be controlled well, it will probably want to get rid of him first to prevent him from biting back. Fifth, Shupaia is fully prepared at sea, but not very prepared for the land route." Gerhardt finished speaking in one breath and stopped to wait for Bergstr?m's conclusion.
girl? Bergstein couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Gerhardt took out the map and spread it on the table. All the ports in the North Sea were clearly marked on it. Manuel took out his notebook, turned to the page where the results of the last discussion had not been discussed, and prepared to continue writing down.
"You mean like a girl?" Charlie said again.
¡°Dutch?!¡± Bergstrom couldn¡¯t help shouting.
"He is about sixteen or seventeen years old, with short hair and wearing a green coat." The scout paused and said cautiously: "He is Dutch."
Bergstrom said: "Charlie, don't interrupt!" His order was faithfully carried out. The scout was able to continue his description.
"As soon as those bastards were about to attack her, the other three companions gathered around and killed the bastards in two or three strokes. Shupaiya was so angry that she called the people who moved the goods to help. The people who moved the goods She was used to being bullied by Shupaiya, so she came up to her after hearing the master's order, but when she saw the three people standing in front of her, she was so frightened that she shrank back. Seeing that others did not dare to do anything, Lilu started to criticize Shupaiya with great dignity. Not from the Business Association. I was standing far away and couldn¡¯t hear everything clearly. Anyway, it was about ten minutes, and I saw her gesticulating and cursing. Shupaiya couldn¡¯t even reply a word, and his face was turning blue. There was smoke. Then the government troops appeared. Seeing that the situation was not good, the three companions hurriedly took the little girl and ran away. Shupaiya ordered a city-wide search. I don¡¯t know if someone was secretly helping or something, but they couldn¡¯t find it anyway. And Their merchant ship also disappeared the next day, and Shupaiya was so angry that he almost wanted to rush to Amsterdam to arrest them, but the government did not want to be at odds with the Netherlands, so it did not agree."
"Camille is the companion who is very close to her. Camille responded, and then apologized to me and said that Lilu was too reckless. He asked Lilu to put the trade license away so as not to lose it. Lilu listened to him very much. .¡±
Manuel murmured: "What an amazing girl!"
"It is indeed a merchant!" the scout said with certainty: "She has a trade license signed by the Dutch government, and her merchant ship is parked in a conspicuous position in the port, called the 'Alenheim'."! ~!.
