HxH in One Piece World
Chapter 53 I have the best navigator in the world
Surprised by the financial resources of the Maud Pirates, Cairns did not directly come to a conclusion.
With his eyesight, even if he couldn't estimate the approximate value of this pile of Bailey and gold.
But it is also certain that the amount of money in this pile definitely exceeds the four or five billion he just said.
However, Baoshu Adam itself is a shipbuilding material whose price fluctuates greatly.
In many cases, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it.
If someone in the market of the underground world throws out the supply, under the premise of pre-ordering, if you are lucky, maybe two or three hundred million can be bought.
If there are no reservations and channels, and if you are unlucky, the purchase price may have to double, or even an exaggerated two or three times, because of the tight supply.
After that, it also depends on what size vessel the buyer wants.
The treasure tree Adam bought for four or five billion is enough to build a medium-sized ship.
But if you want a large ship above medium size, then you can't get it without a billion.
These budgets don't even factor in labor, transportation, design, shipbuilding, etc.
In short, this kind of ship is not something that ordinary pirates can afford.
And a rookie pirate group that has just entered the great waterway has such terrifying capital. This is something that Keynes has never seen or heard of for many years.
However, it would be foolish to promise lightly until the buyer's needs are clear.
"It's enough to buy materials."
Keynes suppressed the surging in his heart, maintained a professional smile on his face, and did not say everything.
"I explained to you earlier that the treasure tree Adam is a rare material that money may not necessarily buy."
"Considering many necessary issues such as timeliness, if you don't choose to increase the price, the worst case is to wait for the first half of the year, and you may not be able to wait for the supply."
"And the base price of Baoshu Adam itself is very high. According to your needs for the scale of the ship, the fluctuation of the budget is calculated in units of 'billion'.
Please be mentally prepared for this. "
"On this basis, if you decide, then we can directly sign the contract."
Keynes explained to Maud as much as possible the various potential changes brought about by "Treasure Tree Adam".
And what he said was subtle enough.
In other words, it also expresses a meaning.
That is - you may not have enough money.
If the middle and late stages of shipbuilding cannot fill the funding gap in time.
Then, even if the ship uses rare shipbuilding materials, it may become a "unfinished" ship.
Lafayette heard what Keynes meant and couldn't help looking at Maud sitting on the sofa.
As a navigator, Lafayette yearns for a good boat more than anyone else, but he didn't expect that Maud would be so willing to spend money, and he had to ask for a boat made by the treasure tree Adam...
It was thought that the funds of 600 million were more than enough.
But now it seems that the money is not necessarily enough to meet their needs for boats.
Thinking of this, Lafayette sighed in his heart.
It's a pity that a good place to brush money like the Evil Dragon Territory is probably the only one in the world.
Maud noticed Lafayette's hesitant gaze, and smiled at him, making a gesture that was okay.
Immediately, Maud looked at Keynes and said calmly: "Money is not a problem, but I hope... every penny has to be spent where it should be spent. In addition, there is no problem with increasing the price, as long as it is fast enough."
"Okay, then I'll let someone prepare the contract."
The smile on Keynes's face was even stronger. This was a big list.
Maud nodded.
Keynes was very efficient in his work, and in a few minutes he had the staff set up the contract, and at the same time sent two middle-aged men with eyes to count the specific value of the pile of baileys and gold.
In the end, the figure came out to be around 630 million.
This number is 30 million more than Maud expected.
Maud picked up the pen and looked at the contract in front of him.
Lafayette and the others looked at Maud in silence.
630 million!
This signing means that all the funds have been staked out, and it may be necessary to add another amount of funds in the later stage.
And so much money, just to build a boat.
Lafayette looked hesitant.
A better boat is what he has been asking for, but to put all the money in...
This was something he didn't expect.
Originally, he planned to keep about 200 million for later use.
Before Maud started writing, Lafayette hesitated: "Maud..."
"nothing."
Maud interrupted Lafayette.
He knew that Lafayette wanted a good boat on the one hand, but also wanted to leave some money to start the program on the other.
But at this time, there must be a trade-off.
"I have the best navigator in the world, and naturally I have to go with a top-notch boat."
Maud smiled at Lafayette, and signed.
Lafayette's expression changed, he raised his hand to lightly press the brim of his hat, covered his eyes, and immediately kicked the ground a few times.
Jaya glanced at Lafayette, who was a little excited.
A few seconds later, Maud signed and closed the pen, feeling a little emotional.
630 million...
He can feel the cool feeling of krypton gold, and at the same time, he is also quite looking forward to the results brought by this money.
Watching Maud sign the contract, Keynes was in a very happy mood.
A young and promising big customer like Maude will probably never meet a second one in this life.
Keynes thought silently in his heart.
After that, it's a matter of ship design.
Thomas Shipyard has an eccentric designer who designed the Moby Dick for the Whitebeard Pirates.
According to Maud's need to be the best in everything, Keynes recommended the designer who was over the age of ten to Maud.
"Mr. Maud, Edward is the best designer in our shipyard, but he has a bad temper. If something offends you later, please bear with me."
"it is good."
Maud nodded.
But Keynes was not at ease, for fear that Edward's strange temper would offend Maud, so he said a few more words.
In this regard, Maud's response was flat. If he didn't go to Cairns, he would at most nod his head in response.
He didn't care what kind of weird temper the old man named Edward would have.
The designer's resume of designing the Moby Dick for the Whitebeard Pirates alone is enough to make him look at the results instead of the process.
Before going to see Edward, Maud asked Jaya and the others to stay in the VIP room and only brought Lafayette with him.
Thomas Dockyard was large, and Edward liked quietness, so he placed his studio in a remote location.
So, Maud and the others walked for fifteen minutes to the studio.
Outside the studio, Cairns knocked gently on the door.
More than ten seconds passed, but there was no response inside.
Keynes cast an apologetic look at Maud and Lafayette, and then knocked on the door a few more times.
After several times, the door was violently opened.
Inside the door, stood an old man who was less than 1.5 meters tall, with a chicken coop on his head and reading glasses.
buzzing...
There were five or six thumb-sized flies hovering over the head of that sexually greasy chicken coop.
As the door opened, a sour smell wafted through the nostrils.
Edward looked angry and held an axe in his hand.
After seeing Keynes, the anger on Edward's old face subsided slightly.
After all, it is the son of the owner, or he grew up watching him.
Edward squinted at Maud and Lafayette, then looked at Keynes.
"What's up?"
"Is such that……"
Keynes was very aware of Edward's temperament, and he didn't talk nonsense. He made things clear in a few words.
After listening to Keynes' explanation, Edward looked at Maud in surprise.
Among the guests that Thomas Shipyard has always received, it is extremely rare that someone like Maud is willing to spend money.
And, in Edward's opinion, Maud is too young...
"As long as the money is in place, you will be satisfied."
Edward looked at Maud and restrained his temper.
This kind of super big customer who can pay for him to use his technology perfectly is hard to come by.
For a moment, Edward's heart that had been silent for a long time could not help but heat up.
"Old man, do you know the sea train Tom of the Water Capital?"
"Oh?"
Edward looked at Maud with a little more doubt.
What do you mean by this sudden mention?
Maud smiled.
His mind is full of whimsy, and it is almost a vent.
I just hope this old man can handle it.
Edward shuddered inexplicably and looked a little confused.
