Chapter 26 Leverage
To commemorate the lives lost in the heavy rain, have a good journey.

"Akado, just let me go out to work. I'm fine. Grandma Grey next door is cleaning in the church. She said she needs a cleaning maid there." Meadow said.
She has been forced to eat a nutritious meal by Arcado and McAvalon for half a month. Each meal is full of fish, meat and vegetables. Arcado doesn't know where he got the recipe. Anyway, he made a good job, which made the two brothers and sisters have endless aftertaste. The thin Merdo gradually became plump, showing what she should be at the age of 17. Short hair, tall and slender legs make Meadow look heroic. Arcado once suspected that the parents of the brother and sister were giants. McVallon was 2 meters tall and Meadow was nearly 175 meters. Fortunately, 17-year-old Arcado was 1.84 meters tall, otherwise he would have been hit to death by the brother and sister.
"No, the doctor said that you have to rest for a month before you can exercise vigorously." Two voices sounded at the same time, and Arcado and McVaron said at the same time.
McVlon's cabin has been sold. The three of them now live in a cabin rented by Arcado. It is a little tidy but simple. Meadow sleeps on the floor of **, McVlon and Arcado.
"We still have 44 copper coins, at least we can have dinner today." Arcado said with a smile.
"Tomorrow I can still resist 60 bags of goods, with an income of at least 1 silver coin." Mc Vallon patted his chest and promised, "If the damn tax officer hadn't had to pay one-fifth of the tax, I would have earned more." He said frustratedly.
"There is no way to work so physically, McVlon. If we can get a boat and go to sea, we will have more income." Arcado thought for a moment and said, "We need a ship. With a boat, Meadow doesn't have to be a damn maid."
"How much are you going to spend on a boat?" McVlon hit Arcado: "30 copper coins? 40?"
"McVlon, if you don't shut up, I'll let Meadow throw you out." Arcado lay on the table and gritted his teeth and said.
McVlon immediately closed his mouth because he saw his sister's teeth and claws ready to be executed.
Acardo left the chair, walked around the room a few times, and then sat in the corner without making a sound. Meiduo went to make dinner knowingly. She deliberately made some simple things and left a few copper coins.
What can be sold for money? What can be sold for money? Arcado thought over and over again in the corner? He searched aimlessly for his memory in his previous life.
Wine? Well, you can distil wine to sell a lot of money and make a lot of money, but this brewing appliance, as well as the recipe, the method of distillation... Forget it, I'd better think about world peace.
Airplane? Good idea. This is an invention that can change the world. Oh, my God, I can become a billionaire! Yes, it's the plane. The design drawings of this plane, plane, plane, plane, and the shape of this F-16 seem to be a little difficult. Well, let's think about how to make wine.
Damn, Archimed said, give me a lever and I can rise the earth. Why can't I find this lever? Wait, lever, dock, pulley, crane! I am such a genius! Arcado's eyes lit up.
He suddenly jumped up, took a few copper coins from McVlon's hand, and rushed out. Before dinner, he bought a few large pieces of paper and a charcoal pen, then occupied the whole table, used a wooden strip picked up from the outside as a ruler, and drew a full piece of paper. Strange shelves of threads and circles.
McVlon and Meadow did not disturb Arcado. They finished dinner by the bed and left one for Arcado. Unfortunately, until Meadow woke up the next morning, Arcado did not move the cold dinner.
However, Arcado looked in a good mood. He washed it carefully and said happily to the doubtful McVlon and Meadow, "We have a boat. This drawing can sell at least 100 gold coins.
Early in the morning, there were not so many slaves and porters on the dock. Old Tom looked strangely at the excited Akado, and with a puzzled face, he helped Akado hold a rolled up drawing.
"Mr. Tom, I want to meet Mr. Maggie, the supervisor here." Arcado said with a smile.
"What's the matter with you, Mr. Maggie?" Old Tom didn't know why Arcado was so happy at this early age.
"I found a way to load and unload twice as many goods as this dock every day." Arcado said with a smile, took a look at the stunned old Tom and continued, "This method is not to recruit more porters, but to double the amount of loading and unloading, or even more, on the premise of maintaining the existing number of workers."
Half an hour later, Arcado met the supervisor Maggie in the office, but the supervisor Maggie stood behind a man and respectfully introduced Arcado: "This is the owner of this dock, Count Anthony."
"Hello, Mr. Earl, are you interested in my proposal?" Arcado made a standard aristocratic meeting ceremony, which stunned McVallon behind him.
"Of course." The marquis smiled and said, "What you said is simply a miracle. I want to see it with my own eyes."
"Then let's talk about the price, Mr. Marquis. Because this thing is easy to imitate, I don't plan to sell it too expensive. You will get a lot of benefits if you are the first to use this design. I believe that in less than a year, docks around the world will use this kind of thing."
"Since you talked about the price, I'm willing to pay 50 gold coins." Anthony said.
"Sir, 200 gold coins, otherwise I would rather burn my drawings." Arcado said with a smile.
"100 gold coins, no more." Anthony felt that the young man in front of him was simply a treacherous old businessman.
"150 gold coins, McVlon, take the drawings. If he doesn't agree, we will leave." Arcado still smiled with no flaws at all.
"Well, if your words are true, I am willing to pay 150 gold coins for it." Count Anthony compromised.
Maggie threw out three bags with 50 gold coins in each bag. McVlon counted carefully twice and nodded to Akado.
Acudo handed the drawings to Anthony and said, "If you read the drawings and think I'm exaggerating, I'm willing to return the gold coins to you."
Anthony looked at the drawings and was stunned there. Then he laughed loudly. He closed the drawings, looked at Arcado and said, "I'm willing to pay you 1 gold coin every day, as long as you work for me."
"Sir, I only work for myself." Arcado said with a smile.
"Do you know how many rewards you can get if your drawings are dedicated to the Pope's Hall? At least 5,000 gold coins. Anthony said loudly, which made Maggie and old Tom look at Arcado in front of them in surprise.
"It's yours now, it's your drawing. No matter who you sell it to, it's your business. Arcado turned around and took a bag of gold coins in McVlon's hand and went out with McVlon.
"This is really a treasure. Tell the craftsman to copy three copies of this drawing, one for Archbishop Rodaram, and give the other two to the craftsman. I want to make four sets of such crane equipment and put them on the dock. This drawing will definitely be worth a lot of money in the future, haha." Anthony said happily.
In fact, he was right. His grandson later found the drawing and sold it to a collector for 4 million gold coins, and the collector was called a collector by later generations because he kept the drawing.
