Hearing Bogut's words, Tov was slightly stunned, then turned his head to look at the beautiful girl next to him.
The girl immediately bowed her head and walked out.
Tov glanced at Bogut and said, "Tell me what contraband you want to transport. I've made it clear that the price of transporting contraband is not cheap, and the price I say is the price, no bargaining."
Hearing Tov's words, Bogut smiled awkwardly and said, "No, Boss Tov, you still misunderstood me. We are not trying to transport contraband, but we want to go out to sea to the prohibited area."
Hearing Bogut's words, Tov was stunned at first and then shocked, and the layers of fat on his face were shaking.
"You mean you want to do business with the people of the Black Eye Continent
This is an extraordinary time. I can't help you with this matter. His Majesty has issued an order, and we dare not do it again."
Boss Tov refused outright, but Ye Li also heard something from his words.
The other party was talking about doing business with people from the Black Eyed Continent, and said they didn’t dare to take it “anymore”, which means they had taken on many people who did business with the Black Eyed Continent in the past.
Ye Li glanced at Boss Tov and said, "Boss Tov, do you mean that you were able to send people out to sea to do business with the people of the Black Eye Continent?"
Boss Tov glanced at Ye Li and said, "You are from the Black Eye Clan, so it's normal for you to be interested in the Black Eye Continent. There were quite a few Black Eye Clan members who came to see me before.
To tell you the truth, we did send some people out to sea before, and they did successfully come into contact with the people of the Black Eye Continent. The successful communication between the two sides was also due to you, the Black Eye people.
However, the royal family has recently issued a clear order to close all ports to the open sea, and no one is allowed to go out to sea privately to exchange goods with the Black-Eyed Tribe.
After all, as the saying goes, rare goods are valuable, and the value brought by the exchange of goods between the two continents is enormous, so the royal family seems to be planning to completely monopolize this trade route.
Or at least, in the near future, they have no intention of opening up trade routes, and any trade can only be done by themselves.
Although I, Tov, have some connections, I dare not openly go against the royal family. If something goes wrong, no one will dare to protect me, and I will never risk my life."
After hearing what Tov said, Ye Li and Bogut looked at each other. Ye Li said, "Boss Tov, we can pay more. I will go out to sea alone. You can send a small boat to take me out quietly."
Tov frowned when he heard this, and the flesh on his face almost squeezed his eyes out of sight.
He glanced at Ye Li and said, "Why don't you understand what I said? I tell you that no one dares to go out to sea without my help.
Except for the royal family, any ship that dares to go out to sea will be sunk, and I will also be held responsible for violating the ban.
The punishment this time is quite severe, and it means death penalty. Even if I have some connections that can save me from the death penalty, I can no longer run this shipping company.
Tell me yourself, if you were me, how much would you need to do this? "
Tov's tone already sounded somewhat unhappy.
Bogut said hurriedly: "Boss Tov, we came to you because we thought you were powerful, but we didn't expect the royal family to restrict this matter so strictly.
We apologize for any offense we may have caused you just now."
Tov didn’t seem to have a bad temper. After hearing Bogut’s apology, he nodded and said, “I, Tov, have always been very powerful, but I can’t do anything about this matter.
I made a lot of money from this matter before. No one wants to go against money. Now that the ban has come down, I have also cut off a source of income.
I tell you the truth, as soon as the ban is implemented, I will be the first one to seize the opportunity to send people out to trade with the other side. I will even hire your caravan myself, or set up a caravan to do this.
In terms of profit, the profit from running such a trip is more than what I make in a month running a normal route."
Hearing Tov's words, Ye Li felt a chill in his heart. It seemed that this road was really blocked now. He had already arrived at the edge of the southwest sea, but he could not take another step forward.
In the vast ocean, if there is no one who is familiar with the route, he will not be able to go out to sea even if he can build a ship by himself.
Seeing the disappointment on Ye Li's face, Tov thought for a moment and said, "But this ban may only be temporary, or it may not be enforced so strictly forever.
In fact, we had said before that we were not allowed to have any contact with people from the opposite continent, but it was not strictly enforced, so the fleets we had some connections with could still go out to sea secretly. It was not until the strict regulations were issued recently that we stopped the actions.
If the ban changes one day, I will send someone to find your Hailan Caravan. Then it will not be impossible for you to go out to sea if you want.
But the price is very expensive.”
When Ye Li heard what Tov said, his eyes lit up and his face showed excitement again. He said, "Boss Tov, how do you calculate the price? Do you charge gold crystal coins or something else as compensation?"
Tov's face trembled, and he said, "Forget about the gold crystal coins, the quantity required is too large, and we are too lazy to count and store them.
If you want to pay a reward, you can use snowflake stone. The specific amount depends on the situation at that time, but it will not be less anyway.
After all, there aren't many fleets that can find a place to exchange goods with the Black Eye Continent. Since our Tov Shipping Company has this ability, we should earn more."
Ye Li nodded and said, "As it should be, I will prepare the snowflakes and wait for the day when the ban is lifted.
I hope that when the time comes, I can ask the boss to send someone to inform me in time."
Tov smiled and said, “There is no problem with that.
Well, if you don't have anything else to do, I'm going to take a nap."
Hearing Tov's words to send them away, the two naturally did not stay any longer and hurriedly said goodbye and left.
After leaving the small building, Bogut looked at Ye Li and said, "Brother Ye, do you have any other plans next
I don't think the ban will be lifted in the short term. Do you plan to leave here and travel somewhere else or stay here temporarily?"
Ye Li thought for a while after hearing Bogut's question, and then asked, "Uncle Bogut, is there a market for talismans in Starfish City?"
Bogut was stunned when he heard this, and said: "Of course there is a market, things like talismans have a market everywhere.
Especially in Starfish City, with so many caravans coming and going, the talismans can definitely be sold for a good price.
What's wrong, Brother Ye, don't tell me you are still a weaponsmith! "
Ye Li smiled lightly and said, "Yes, I am still a weaponsmith."
