Movie World I Am King

"Why am I betrayal?" Chang Kun smiled and said, "I just can't cooperate with you in the future. I am an official of the Qing Dynasty, and I receive the salary of the Qing Dynasty. It is a favor to cooperate with you. It's moral not to cooperate with you!"

"..." Charlie calmed down, looked at Chang Kun silently for a long time, and then smiled slightly: "Okay, Your Excellency Chang Kun, we don't have to play that trick, please tell me what you can do, Your Excellency Well, according to your Chinese saying, we are two grasshoppers tied to a rope, can't run away from me, can't jump? Can't you!"

"Haha... what does Mr. Charlie say?" Chang Kun pretended to be stupid.

"Although I don't know how serious the crime of dereliction of duty is in your country!" Charlie smiled confidently: "But in our country, if an official is derelict in duty, his successor will be held in the quagmire and kicked a few more times. feet, making it impossible for him to ever crawl to shore again."

After saying these words, Charlie looked at the corners of Chang Kun's twitching eyes, nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "I think people's hearts are basically connected in this world, then Your Excellency Chang Kun, since you want mine If you want to help, please make it clear, don't go around in circles with me... that's not a wise choice, after all, we have common interests, and we are allies, isn't it?"

"...Okay!" Chang Kun's idea of ​​trying to fool these foreigners into killing people with knives has gone bankrupt. Although Charlie doesn't know much, it is clear that he has seen through his current situation, and it is impossible to stay out of it. now...

After sorting out his thoughts, Chang Kun leaned in front of Charlie, lowered his voice and said, "If we want everything to be the same as before, you can transport your big smoke, and I will be my admiral of the navy, then that King An ...must die!!!!"

"Hey!" Charlie took a deep breath when he heard this. He saw that Chang Kun was both intimidating and intimidating with him here, and he expected that Chang Kun's plans must be very small, but he did not expect Chang Kun to be so bold. "You are murdering...and the murderer is an imperial prince...!!"

"NONONO... This is not a murder, it's just an accident..." Chang Kun shook his head with a look of sympathy, holding on to the word he only knew. "His Royal Highness Prince An visited Zengcheng County in private, but... a group of daring pirates went upstream along the river and attacked Zengcheng County. The official rescue was not enough, so that His Royal Highness Prince An was not spared the death. It's really unfortunate news! Isn't it? ?"

"What a great idea!!!" Charlie smiled and applauded Chang Kun's performance, then asked inadvertently, "Then where do those pirates, Your Excellency Chang Kun, come from?"

"Huh?" Chang Kun cast a glance at Charlie, his heart was really burning with anger, this old fox still wants to stay out of the matter, it's really a dream. "Mr. Charlie, I heard that your country's armed merchant ships are equipped with twelve-pounder guns, and each merchant ship carries muskets..."

"You know, the sea is not safe. In order to prevent those **** pirates from taking the little cutie in our pockets, these equipments are all necessary!" Charlie blinked his eyes and pretended to be stupid.

"Okay..." Chang Kun smiled and said: "It seems that the accusations made by the Dutch merchants against you are all lies, right? The Spanish merchants also accuse you of looting their caravans many times. Is this also false? "

"Uh..." Charlie was helpless. He knew best what the virtues of those armed merchant ships in East India were. When they were carrying goods, they were merchant ships, but when they encountered a small fleet, they didn't mind. Pick up the gun and make a cameo role as a pirate. After all, it's better to earn money than to rush for it.

Especially those who dare to go to sea during this period, who is not sturdy and unusual, putting life and death aside, you must know that in this era, the ability of ships to resist wind and waves is still not very good... In the face of the power of nature, human creations are like Children's toys are generally fragile.

So most of the time, a sailor is equivalent to a pirate, just a person who has a clear identity, and one who doesn't... not to mention that there are pirates who have issued privateer certificates and are on duty.

Charlie had already seen that Chang Kun wanted his subordinates to act as pirates and kill the prince... But he was a businessman, what is a businessman? A businessman is a businessman who can’t see a rabbit and does not throw an eagle, and a stone has to squeeze wine out of it. This is a businessman, and he will never do anything that has no benefit. This is a businessman! ! !

Chapter 266

"If our English business hall came forward to organize this event, what benefits would we get?" Charlie simply asked his own question, he would never do anything that was not good.

"I personally offered a bonus of 100,000 taels to reward that King An's head!" Chang Kun said, "Also, starting next year, the tobacco tax in your English business hall will be reduced by 30%, how about that?"

"I think those great guys on the merchant ship will be very happy to be able to make such a big windfall in this beautiful eastern country!" Charlie smiled and winked at Chang Kun, he didn't care, he was just doing it anyway. Just a task issuer. For him, the 100,000 bonus is just a small amount, while the 30% tobacco tax is the big one.

"Then, I wish us a happy cooperation!" Chang Kun said with a smile: "I think we can celebrate in advance now and celebrate that our business road is unimpeded."

"Of course, I can't wait to taste those Chinese delicacies!" Charlie talked about the Chinese delicacies, and his saliva felt like drooling. It's so beautifully cooked and so delicious, it's almost like a work of art from the European Renaissance. Compared with the food here, Charlie feels that the people of his own country eat pig food... Looking up at the starry sky? laugh.

The matter has basically been determined, and both of them have put down their precautions. At this time, the meals in the kitchen are also ready, and the two of them start to enjoy themselves...

During the dinner, Chang Kun put forward a request. For the sake of safety, he hoped that Charlie would tell all English merchant ships about the bounty offer this time. Because it is said that King An has incredible sorcery, he should be careful. good.

"Don't worry, my friend!" Charlie took out a cross from his neck indifferently and said, "Our God will bless us, in Europe, we have burned countless witches, believe that I, even if he can witchcraft, is dead!"

"Haha..." Chang Kun scolded secretly, **** foreign devils, your gods can't control the east, "I think it's better to have more people for the sake of safety, after all, if things fail, I'm afraid I have to run away. , and you? I'm afraid the entire English merchant fleet will no longer be allowed to dock in the city's port!"

"Okay! If you insist!" Charlie shrugged helplessly. Anyway, he only earns one commission, and it doesn't matter to him how many people there are.

Afterwards, the two discussed some details, and finally the host and guests parted happily... I just don't know how funny their expressions will be when they find out that they are calculating an invincible **** of death.

Around three in the afternoon, on the third floor of the British Commercial Building, in Charlie's office—

Behind the huge desk, Charlie sat in his executive chair and said to the secretary who brought him a cup of Earl Grey tea: "Go and call old Allston and Keane and Eli to the office and say I have a fortune to take care of them!"

"But sir, they shouldn't be in the temporary residence of the Chamber of Commerce now. After all, they just landed on the shore early this morning... You know!" The male secretary made a helpless expression. "They need to relax after a long sea voyage!"

"I don't care where they are now, whether they are eating food or looking for women, even if they are already in those bitches' beds, you have to drag them down immediately and pull them in front of me!" Charlie stared His secretary ordered in an unquestionable tone: "Now, immediately, immediately!"

"Okay, sir!" The male secretary could only agree and then turned to leave Charlie's office. He was going to the port now and ask the sailors who were left behind in their fleet. Probably they would know their boss. Get used to where to have fun.

After about an hour, a middle-aged man with a height of 1.9 meters and a sturdy face walked into Charlie's office, and as soon as he entered the door, he began to shout: "Charlie, what's the urgency? You have to pull me up from the woman's bed..."

"Kean, my friend. Patience is a virtue!" Charlie was no longer in a hurry at this time, while drinking afternoon tea, he reassured Keane: "I promise you will definitely feel that this trip is worthwhile, Believe me!"

"Okay, I hope so!" Keane sat down on Charlie's reception sofa, squeezing the sofa, making the corners of his distressed Charlie's mouth twitch.

"Hey, I didn't expect you to like French buns for dessert, Charlie?" Saying that, Keane didn't care about Charlie's murderous gaze, stood up, and grabbed a small one on his plate with his hands. The bread, stuffed into his mouth, while eating, Keane commented: "I have to say, it's a little too sweet!"

"Have you eaten all..." Charlie pushed his dinner plate in front of Keane, not because he was generous, but because he felt that Keene had just been on the woman's body and never washed his hands when he came back , the ghost knows where he has touched that woman... Thinking of this, Charlie thinks these buns are so scary...

"Really? Charlie, you are such a generous gentleman!" Keane picked up Charlie's dinner plate without hesitation, and started to eat snacks in big gulps.

About half an hour later, a middle-aged fat man with a smiling face walked in with an old man with silver hair and a gloomy complexion.

"Hey, Charlie, my friend, do you have any business to take care of me?" As soon as the middle-aged fat man entered the door, he gave Charlie a big hug, patted Charlie on the shoulder and said, "What kind of big business? You brought all three of us together?"

"Hehe, Eli, my friend, believe me this time is a big deal!" Charlie also smiled and hugged the middle-aged fat man, and then greeted another old man. "Hey, old Auston, why is your face so ugly? Is there something wrong?"

"Old Auston lost a manor in Mumbai, India to me in the casino!" Fat Eli's face was beaming, obviously he was very happy. "That manor is more than 600 acres!"

"Poor old Auston!" Charlie looked at Old Auston in surprise, didn't he know that smiling Eli was a gambler? Are you still gambling with him?

"This is an accident..." A smile barely appeared on Old Auston's gloomy face: "Okay, let's not talk about that, it's all over!"

"Okay!" Charlie stood up and walked out of his desk. Standing in front of the three of them, he looked around.

These three guys are well-known within the East India Company. Old Auston's nickname is Hyena. This old guy looks inconspicuous, but he is a ruthless character. He once drove his merchant ship into the Netherlands and sank it. A treasure ship of the navy, and massacred prisoners...

And that fat man who seemed to be smiling was someone who could eat people without spitting out bones, nicknamed the Smiley Shark. He once cut off the meat of a pirate knife by knife with a smile, and then threw it into the sea to feed the fish.

The brawny Keen who doesn't seem to be a good man is a good man compared to the first two. He just often makes a cameo appearance as a pirate, looting other countries' fleets, and sometimes even his own country's fleet... It's just that he did it cleanly and beautifully, and never left any trouble, so no one has evidence to sue him. After all, looking for evidence in the vast ocean is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Gentlemen, I have a big deal for you!" Charlie said with a smile.

Chapter 267

On summer nights, the bright Milky Way covers half of the sky, through the hazy moonlight. The peaceful Dongjiang River flows quietly, and the water splashes from time to time reflect the starlight in the sky, and there are silver lights. Go up and down with the Milky Way in the sky, and set off against each other.

At this moment, the sound of the waves crashing on the bow broke the tranquility of the entire Dongjiang River.

With the sound, from the lower reaches of the Dongjiang River, a fleet of more than a dozen two-masted sailboats was going upstream. On the brightly lit deck, a few scoldings and laughter in English sounded from time to time. This quiet night has spread far and wide...

"Guys, come on!" Keane opened his arms, holding a bottle of rum in one hand and a short musket in the other, and after taking a sip of wine, shouted: "Come on, paddle, guys, three Ten thousand pounds are waiting for you, do you want to watch the old hyena and the laughing shark take that thirty thousand pounds out of your mouth?"

"No...never!"

"Would you like to watch other lucky **** chop off that Chinese man's head in exchange for £30,000? Then find a beautiful wife back home in England, and a few lovers to live a happy life, while you can't Don't you continue to live on the ship for a living, with today and no tomorrow?"

"No, no, the thirty thousand pounds is ours!"

Hearing Keane's voice, the sailors who were rowing the oars hard in the oar bay roared, and again, the drop of sweat slid down the deck of the cabin along their muscles bulging from the force.
