The next morning, Zhao Hai was invited by Charlie to the dining room for a meal. After the meal, Charlie invited Zhao Hai to the living room to drink tea. At this time, Trezebo came in and bowed to Charlie, "Your Highness, the store and goods prepared for mister have been prepared. Do you want to take a look now or wait?"
Charlie turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Mister, what do you think?"
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "In any case, there's nothing to do right now, let's go."
Charlie smiled and said, "Alright, let's go take a look. Your new ships are almost done with their repairs. They can set sail tomorrow. The Haven, on the other hand, is a bit more troublesome. We still have to wait for a few days."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "This is already beyond my expectations. Let's go, let's go take a look at the store first." After that, the group went out of the room. Outside, a carriage was already prepared. The group sat on the carriage and went straight to the place Trezebo told them about.
Today, they rode Trezebo's carriage. His carriage was very useful in Jade Water City. When they came out, all the people on the street gave way to him. There was no other way, this was the City Lord's carriage.
It didn't take long before the carriage stopped near the east gate of Jade Water City. This place was a bit remote, so there weren't many people on the street. However, the shop was very large. In front of the shop was a three-story shop, and the decoration was very good. Behind the shop was a large courtyard, and beside the courtyard was a side door. The door was very large, enough to accommodate three carriages side by side. The door was made of thick wood and looked very sturdy.
At this time, two guards were standing in front of the courtyard. When they saw Trezebo's carriage, they immediately opened the door. Trezebo directly let the carriage enter the courtyard.
The courtyard was very big, but there weren't any plants inside. One could see that it was a place used by merchants to store their goods. The ground was paved with stone slabs, the backyard was a barn and a warehouse. In the front was a master's room and a servant's room. The design was very simple, one could see that it was used for business.
After the group got off the carriage, Zhao Hai and Charlie carefully looked at the courtyard. After looking around, Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Very good. Although the location of the house is ordinary, it's big enough. There's also a warehouse. Very good. Thank you, City Lord Telai."
Trezebo smiled and said, "Mister Zhao Hai is too polite. Come with me, we'll take a look at the warehouse, there's a surprise there." Then he led Zhao Hai to the warehouse in the backyard.
There were also people guarding the warehouse. When they saw Trezebo, they immediately gave him a salute. Trezebo waved his hand and they immediately opened the door.
Zhao Hai discovered that the warehouse was full of things that he wanted. The solitary pottery was packed in wooden boxes, as well as some other daily necessities. The most important thing was that there was a staircase that led downwards.
Trezebo led Zhao Hai to the basement of the warehouse. The basement was divided into two floors, and it was also filled with the things that Zhao Hai wanted.
The staircase in the basement was very wide, allowing two carriages to pass in half. Moreover, the staircase wasn't a flight of steps, but a slope, allowing the carriages to go in, making it more convenient to transport the things inside. Moreover, the slope was very gentle, allowing the carriages to go in and out.
Moreover, Zhao Hai discovered that the underground warehouse was much bigger than the one on the surface. He was afraid that the entire underground space of the courtyard had been dug out. However, the design of this underground warehouse was very reasonable. There were pillars supporting it, moreover, it was made of stone, making it very sturdy.
Zhao Hai was very satisfied with this house. Although he couldn't use such a big warehouse, it was still better than nothing. It was also good to use it as a cover.
Seeing Zhao Hai's satisfied expression, Trezebo felt relieved. He turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Mister, are you satisfied? His Highness ordered us to give mister this courtyard as well as the things inside. Mister doesn't need to be polite. "
Zhao Hai stared for a moment, then he nodded and smiled, "Alright, then I won't be polite. Today, I'll also give His Highness and the City Lord a gift." Then he turned his hand as two small pouches appeared in his hand.
These two small pouches were naturally the Space Bags. Charlie was really good to him. Zhao also wanted to let Charlie know some things about him. The Space Bags were one of them.
Charlie and Trezebo were puzzled as they looked at Zhao Hai. They didn't know why he took out these two pouches. Zhao Hai handed the two pouches over to each of them. Then he smiled and said, "These two pouches are Spatial Bags. They have ten cubic meters of space inside, they can be used to store things. With His Highness' ability, he certainly wouldn't care about these small things. Just take them as playthings."
Charlie and Trezebo were stunned. Although Spatial Bags weren't something that everyone in the continent owned, they were still very precious. Even Charlie only had one Spatial Bag. Naturally, it was impossible for him to take it out as a gift. They didn't think that Zhao Hai would just casually take out two as a gift, as if they weren't worth anything.
Charlie looked at Zhao Hai in shock, "I didn't think that mister would have such good things. Mister, you've really lost out."
Zhao Hai laughed and said, "Your Highness is too polite, there's no need to be so calculative. We're just exchanging gifts, there's no need for your highness to take it to heart."
When Charlie heard Zhao Hai, he also laughed and said, "We've made mister laugh. Alright, then we'll accept it. It's good that mister is satisfied with this place. When will you send someone to receive it?"
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "My people have to follow the ship that was damaged in order to protect a friend. But they should arrive in two days."
Charlie nodded and said, "That's good. Then I'll have Trezebo look after this place for two days. We'll wait for your people to come and take over." Zhao Hai smiled and nodded.
After the group returned to the City Lord's Mansion, Zhao Hai went to rest. Today's warehouse was filled with equipment, so Zhao Hai knew that he wouldn't be able to transport all of it. Tomorrow, he would send out the armed merchant ships that he had plundered from the Markey Family. Then he would have them wait for him near Ape Island. When the Haven is ready, he would go and trade with the Shrimp Tribesmen.
Moreover, he could also use these few days to bring Laura's subordinates over and arrange for them to take over the store. No matter what, he had to open the store first.
Zhao Hai also thought about it. He would only buy some daily necessities in the store, he wouldn't put too many good things in the store. This way, he wouldn't be able to attract attention. After he stabilized his matters, he would take care of the store.
Laura's subordinates were all talented individuals. Their arrival would certainly replenish Iron Mountain Fort's management. Moreover, it would be more convenient for him to open a store in the continent. Therefore, this matter needed to be handled properly.
Fortunately, they would arrive soon. When the time comes, he would take them out of the Space and deliver them to Iron Mountain Fort first. As for those who needed to be locked up in Jade Water City, he would place them on the Swordfish.
The next day, the five-masted ships that were plundered from the Markey Family were ready to set sail. Zhao Hai also told Charlie to pack the things in the warehouse. Charlie agreed and had people deliver the items to the five ships. Although there were a lot of things in the warehouse, it still wasn't enough to fill all five ships. Therefore, the ships were only half full. Zhao Hai naturally wouldn't tell Charlie that these things were for the Fishmen. He only said that these things were for the others to bring and had them delivered first.
Charlie didn't think too much about it. These things were common in the continent and weren't treasures. Therefore, he didn't care too much about it.
After sending off the five ships, Zhao Hai waited for the Swordfish to arrive. But the next day, Laura's subordinates were already prepared. There were more than 400 people in total, 80 of them were store managers and the rest were their family members. These people were absolutely loyal to Laura, so she could use them without worry.
Zhao Hai and Laura immediately entered the Space and received these people. Then they sent them to Iron Mountain Fort. Only one family was left behind, this family was going to head to Jade Water City.
When the store managers saw Laura, they were very excited. These people had received Laura's grace and were loyal to her. There wouldn't be any problems and they could be trusted.
Zhao Hai naturally believed in them. After these people were brought to Iron Mountain Fort, Zhao Hai handed them over to Kun and had him arrange them to familiarize them with the environment.
Most of these people had been in contact with Kun before, so they were directly managed by him. Now that Kun had arranged them, they were very happy. After all, they were acquaintances.
One of the people who was chosen to head to Jade Water City was Laura's most capable subordinate. His name was Mu 'en and he was 40 years old this year. Before he followed Laura, he was a small merchant. But later on, his business was ruined and he was almost sold as a slave. In the end, Laura saved him and he became one of Laura's store managers. His family was very grateful to Laura, and because they had done business before, they were very opinionated and were very valued by Laura.
Although Mu 'en was in his forties, he looked very imposing and spirited. His wife also had a shrewd face. Aside from the couple, they also had two children. These two children were in their twenties and were currently learning how to do business from them.
With such a shrewd family in Jade Water City, Zhao Hai felt relieved. He was very confident in Laura's choice of people.
After settling the family in the Swordfish, Zhao Hai and the others returned to the City Lord's Mansion. The Swordfish would arrive in two days. By that time, the Haven would be repaired and Zhao Hai would be able to trade with the Shrimp Tribe.
After returning to the City Lord's Mansion, Zhao Hai didn't have anything else to do. He didn't go out and just stayed inside the Space to practice his martial arts and metal control. He discovered that the more he practiced, the more metal he could control. At this point, he was able to control two fist-sized iron balls, his attack power was much stronger than before.
Zhao Hai didn't intervene too much in Charlie's matters. Even if he wanted to help Charlie, he would need Charlie to take the initiative. After all, he hadn't been in contact with Charlie for a long time. If he were to rush into Charlie's matters, then Charlie might misunderstand him. Because of this, Zhao Hai didn't ask too much and just lived his own life, leisurely and carefree.
Charlie wasn't disgusted by Zhao Hai's actions. Instead, he appreciated it. Although he was very fond of Zhao Hai, Zhao Hai's mysterious origin made him feel uneasy. If Zhao Hai wanted to intervene in his matters, then he would need to think about it carefully.
Two days passed by quickly and the Swordfish arrived at Jade Water City. Zhao Hai had already informed Charlie, so when the Swordfish arrived, Zhao Hai and Laura went to the docks to greet them.
Naturally, Charlie wouldn't follow them. Even if he was fond of Zhao Hai, it was impossible for him to do so. After all, he was still a Prince. Now that Zhao Hai's subordinates had arrived, it would be too much for him to personally greet them.
Mu 'en's family was brought to the City Lord's Mansion. Then the Swordfish was directly driven to Charlie's shipyard for repairs. At the same time, Zhao Hai introduced Mu' en to Trezebo. After all, Zhao Hai wouldn't be staying in Jade Water City for a long time, so Mu 'en would be in charge of dealing with Trezebo. This was a good opportunity for Mu' en to establish a good relationship with Trezebo.
It can be said that Mu 'en had some skills. He was a natural born businessman, his speech and actions were very smooth. Although he might not immediately become friends with you, at the very least, you wouldn't dislike him.
Trezebo's attitude towards Mu 'en was very warm. He was very clear that Charlie was fond of Zhao Hai. And since Mu' en was sent here by Zhao Hai, it meant that Trezebo had absolute trust in Mu 'en. Naturally, Trezebo wanted to establish a good relationship with Mu' en.
During dinner, Charlie also went to see Mu 'en. This made Mu' en startled. Not to mention the Rosen Empire's Princes, he didn't even see the Purcell Duchy's Princes. From this point, it can be seen that Zhao Hai was highly valued by Charlie.
Mu 'en wasn't a fool, when he saw Zhao Hai and Charlie talking and laughing, he knew that Zhao Hai's position in Charlie's heart wasn't low. Mu' en was very happy about this situation, because this meant that Laura didn't choose the wrong person.
The next morning, Zhao Hai took Mu 'en to the shop that Charlie had arranged for him. The shop would be handed over to Mu' en to manage. Zhao Hai also gave the shop a name, it was still the same as before, Taoyuan.
Besides the shop, Zhao Hai also gave Mu 'en a Space Bag and 100 thousand gold coins. At the same time, he also gave Mu' en food and vegetables from the Space as well as rations. These would be the main business of the shop in the future.
