"Head, there is a ship requesting to dock at our pier." After Buffalo toured the pier and was about to leave, the man responsible for the docking of the ship hurried over and whispered while wiping sweat.
Buffalo frowned when he heard what he called himself, and he preferred to call his own adults, but unfortunately, they were all rough people on the docks, and they might still be called by the rules in the first two days, but After a while, they will change to what they are used to.
"Let him dock when there is a boat, I still have to ask me about this." Bafu said slightly unpleasantly.
The man keenly felt the emotion of his boss, shrunk his neck, and said carefully: "It's just that he's not a fishing boat."
"Isn't it a fishing boat?" The face of Buddhism was puzzled.
Since the municipal council has regulated the docking rules for ships in the dock area, various types of ships can no longer be arbitrarily docked. Fishing boats can only dock at the fishing dock, cargo ships can only dock at the cargo terminal, and cruise ships can only dock at Passenger terminals, etc., although everyone was not used to it at the beginning, but as time passed, everyone saw the efficiency and convenience of management of the entire terminal after the standard vessel docked, and they gradually got used to this kind of vessel. Docking mode.
"Let him go to the cruise ship terminal." Bafo said impatiently.
The man quickly added: "That's the old seagull's boat."
"Old Seagull?" Barford couldn't help but hesitate to hear this strange name, but soon he thought of the person related to this name, he couldn't help confirming: "Is it Bocadi's old seagull?"
The man nodded quickly.
For everyone who eats by the sea, Bocadi's old seagull is a living legend. For the people of Port Sait, the old seagull represents another meaning. He can be said to be the entire Port of Saite Benefactor.
More than ten years ago, the old seagull found an undersea volcano erupting in a sea off Port Saite. According to his experience, this submarine volcano is very large. The eruption is powerful enough to constitute an earthquake and cause a tsunami, so he immediately drove The ship rushed to the nearest port of Seth, informing the people of Seth Port to take refuge in a high place.
At first, the people of Port Sait did not believe the reminder of the old seagull, but the old seagull was guaranteed by his life, plus the big man in the municipal council was a friend of the old seagull who was willing to stand up to guarantee this matter, so it made the city hall under Determined to mobilize the citizens, hiding in the high mountains outside the city.
Eventually the earthquake and tsunami arrived on schedule. Except those who did not believe that there would be a tsunami and some people who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity and chose to stay in the city, the others who hid in the heights were all over 20 meters. Survived by the tsunami.
For this reason, Old Seagull has an extraordinary reputation and status in Port Saite. Even though it has been more than ten years now, his reputation has not weakened. After all, the survivors of the disaster that year were still alive, and all Has become a major figure in various industries in Port Saite.
Thinking of this, Barford suddenly had an idea. Since Jason has a lantern lady to help him, then he can also find a strong person to serve as his backer. Old seagull is the best choice, regardless of status or prestige, The old seagull far surpassed the Lantern Lady in Port Saite.
But, what made him feel embarrassed was that he had nothing to do with the old seagull. If he hurriedly asked, he could only return without success.
"You don't need the old seagull to help me, as long as people think that I have a close relationship with the old seagull." Baffle suddenly thought of a good way, so he immediately commanded his men: "You immediately dock the old seagull's ship At dock five, the old seagull has to meet any requirements."
When he was finished, he immediately boarded the carriage and ordered the driver to take him to the nearest photo studio. The way he thought of was to find an opportunity to approach the old seagull, and then take a photo of the two with the latest camera and let them see People think they are very close.
Anyway, the usual management, the old seagull will only supply the house at the port for the most, and then leave the Port of Saite. The next time he comes, I don’t know when it will be. By then, he has become the supervisor of the freight terminal. It will not be dismissed if it is worn out.
On the other side, the old seagull did not know that he would be used by one person. He was commanding the controller ship, following the pier guiding the ship into the port, and occasionally looked at Leo aside.
Leo said to the old seagull: "If you hear the news over there, send someone directly to the address I told you. If I were in Port Sait, I should have lived there for a long time."
"Well, I will go to Mosang mainland after the supply is finished here." The old seagull nodded and responded.
Leo just mentioned the old man Rembrandt with the old seagull, let the old seagull find the opportunity to inquire about the old man's news, the old seagull also had a similar idea, and he agreed.
The address Leo left for the old seagull was several properties he had exchanged for the sea scepter.
As the ship slowly docked, Leo jumped directly from the ship to the pier without waiting for the deck aisle to be lowered. The down-to-earth feeling made him relax a lot, and then he waved at the old seagull on the deck , Just heading towards the urban area of Port Saite. When I walked to the entrance of the fishing dock area, I just passed the carriage carrying the Buddha and the photographer.
At that time, Leo exchanged the Poseidon Scepter for four properties, a knighthood and some cash. Among them, the villa and the knighthood Leo in the garden area gave them to Dr. Nelson, and the warehouse in the dock area was handed over to Jie Mori.
left only the apartment in the municipal district and the office building in the business district. According to the information he obtained, both properties are now managed by Nielsen, and the property is still under his name.
It's just that he didn't immediately go to his real estate in the city. After all, those who managed the real estate arranged by Nielsen wouldn't let his stranger who claimed to be the owner of the real estate stay before he knew his identity.
After he left the fishing wharf, he went directly to the warehouse he gave to Jason, because he learned from the conversation with the old seagull that Jason was not good at operating after taking over the warehouse. Although he did not lose money, he did not What makes a profit. So he rented the warehouse, and the people who rented the warehouse did not use the warehouse to store goods as usual, but transformed it into a tavern specifically for sailors, porters and fishermen on the ground floor of the dock.
Now the proprietress of this tavern has become Mrs. Jason, and by the convenience of this tavern, Jason has attracted a large number of porters on the dock, became a porters union, and has become a person of great power. .
Because of the early morning, when Leo came to the tavern, the tavern was very deserted. Except for a few drunks who had drunk all night and lying on their chairs, no other guests could be seen in the tavern. Only a few men are cleaning.
After seeing Leo coming in, one of the waiters put down the tools in his hand, wiped his hands, walked to Leo, and asked: "Sorry, sir, the pub is not yet open. If you want to drink, you can Later..."
"I'm looking for your boss Jason." Leo interrupted the waiter and said.
"Ah? Looking for the boss." The waiter immediately became vigilant when he heard Leo's words, and raised his voice deliberately to attract the attention of others, and then said indifferently, "What are you doing with our boss? "
Seeing the attitude of the waitress was wrong, Leo soon thought of what trouble Jason might have encountered. Otherwise, the waitress in the tavern would not have such a changed attitude.
Leo did not immediately identify himself, but said ambiguously to the waiter: "Is the waiter now able to take charge of the boss? Or is it the rule of the Port of Saite that the coming person needs to obtain the waiter’s consent before he can? See the boss?"
"Others certainly don't need it, but you group of gangsters need it." Obviously Leo's intentional attitude caused the waiter to misunderstand, causing him to increase the volume again, and everyone around him heard the words gangster After that, his face changed instantly, and each face was fierce, and each took two bottles that had not been cleaned up. It seemed to be ready to let the bottle and Leo's head come in close contact at any time.
Leo did not pay attention to the attitude of the waiters around him. He was interested in the gangsters in the waiters. As a matter of fact, Jason is now the president of the porters’ union. There is no shortage of staff under his hands, and the municipal council in Port Saite There is also Nelson's help, coupled with Catherine Nightingale's reputation, the general gangster is too late to avoid him, how can the gangster have trouble finding him?
"What are you doing? Why do you hold wine bottles one by one?" At this time, a woman's voice rang in the tavern, and everyone looked at the source of the voice.
I saw that a tall, plump nymph led two men and stood at the entrance of the tavern. Obviously, as long as the person with open eyes would not ignore the tension in the tavern.
"Sister, this guy looks for the boss." A waiter near the nymph explained immediately.
The lady frowned and looked at Leo up and down, with a little doubt in her eyes. Then she looked away from Leo and looked at the other waiters, saying, "Everyone is going to work, this matter is not for you to blend in."
Hearing the boss’s instructions, the waiter in the hotel was a little unwilling, but he still obeyed the instructions to put down the bottle in his hand and do the work he had done before, but his eyes glanced at Leo from time to time, ready to start.
The lady walked over to the bar and gestured to the bartender in the bar. The bartender immediately poured her a glass of wine. She didn’t drink it, but she slid her finger at the mouth of the glass and made a sound before making a noise. Said: "I don't care what your chief thinks, you go back and tell you that my husband will not withdraw from the list of candidates for the freight terminal manager. If you want to come to your gang, your husband and wife are not afraid. , When the time comes, I don’t believe that your leader’s hotel can still be opened in Port Saite."
Hearing that the nymph said so, Leo already understood the situation, he smiled, and was not vague, said: "I am not a gang member you think."
"Aren't you a gang member?" The nymph froze, turned her head to look at the waiters, and seemed to be asking why.
The waiters were also stunned, and looked at the waiter who had talked to Leo before. The waiter was even more confused, but he soon realized that Leo never seemed to have said about him. The gang member just mentioned that he wanted to see his boss. Everything else was speculated by his self-righteousness, and his face suddenly changed and became embarrassed.
Seeing the expression of the waiter under her, the lady did not know that she had made a big joke, which made her couldn't help but glared fiercely at the waiter, and then she seemed to have nothing. As it happened, he smiled at Leo and said, "Is there anything wrong with you?"
"I'm looking for your husband Jason." Leo replied calmly.
Just like the waitress just now, the nymph also showed a slight vigilance and asked, "What do you want from him?"
"My name is Leo Dodd, your husband's comrade and friend." Leo reported his name and said.
Hearing Leo’s self-introduction, the nymph was stunned, and quickly got up from the chair, walked to Leo’s front, carefully looked at Leo, and confirmed,
Are you Mr. Leo Dodd?
Leo reported a string of numbers~EbookFREE.me~ That is the number of his unit and his soldier number. Unless someone can get the military department documents, it is impossible for anyone else to say this number of.
As Jason’s wife, the nymph naturally heard her husband mentioning things in the army more than once, and he is no stranger to Leo’s soldier number and troop number. He quickly confirmed that the number is correct, and more importantly, Lei Ou's appearance and figure are exactly the same as Jason said. When she saw Leo before, she had such a feeling, and now she is sure that she feels right.
After confirming Leo’s identity, the lady’s attitude immediately changed and became a lot closer. She took the initiative to reach out to Leo and introduced herself:
Hello, I’m Jason’s wife Lisa Fran. G."
Leo shook Lisa's hand and then asked directly: "What's going on with the gang you just mentioned?"
"This is not a place to talk, come to my office!" Lisa looked at the other drunk guests around, and then ordered the waiter next to them to let them find Jason. Leo went to the upper office of the pub.
Although Lisa already believes that this person is Leo Dodd, she still retains a little vigilance before getting confirmation from her husband, so when she went to the office, she also let her men in the office Waiting instead of getting alone with Leo in the office.
Subsequently, she carefully talked about Jason becoming a freight terminal manager candidate, and mentioned the situation of other candidates, including the candidate with a gang background Cass Langton.
