Arkham in the pirate world

Levis & Co.

When everyone was almost done talking, Blair Gordon spoke.

"In the shipping industry, the business is only so big. If others have more, we will have less."

Blair Gordon said in a calm tone: "In addition, if the pirates don't rob the Arkham Chamber of Commerce, they have to keep an eye on other chambers of commerce. In recent months, our losses have increased by %. Not to mention too much, as long as one shipment of goods is gone, two Monthly profits will be gone, and no matter how big a chamber of commerce is, it can’t help but make a few twists and turns.”

The curly-haired man said: "I still say that when we do business, peace is the most important thing. If we can bring the Arkham Chamber of Commerce in, negotiate together, and readjust the shipping route, it will be better than competing with each other and fighting to the death."

"What if they don't agree?" asked a blue-haired young man.

Blair Gordon said confidently: "Then force them to agree. We don't have to do it ourselves. The network of relationships that Levi's Trading Company has developed over the years is enough to teach arrogant young people a lesson."

"In my opinion, we need to give them something to do first. If you don't let them see our energy and the temper of young people, they may not be willing to sit down and talk." The representative of the Lane Chamber of Commerce, whose clothes were embroidered with lion heads, said in a relaxed tone.

The burly middle-aged man with a gangster spirit grinned and said, "Yes, we have suffered a lot of losses, so let's give him some losses. This kid must be beaten and beaten, otherwise he will not have a long memory."

The blue-haired young man rolled his eyes. He was the only "child" here, and the others were all uncles.

Blair Gordon glanced at the others and saw that they had the same idea. It seemed that the recent losses had made everyone angry, and they wanted to vent their anger and find a place to come back.

He thought for a while and realized that if he didn't let it out, he wouldn't be able to reach an agreement even if he sat down, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's work it out."

At noon the next day, after staying up all night, Crowe woke up after less than two hours of sleep when his secretary woke him up.

Crowe walked quickly to the conference room and saw the heads of each fleet chatting with each other, nervous and impatient. He pushed up his glasses and coughed. When the conference room was quiet, he walked in calmly.

"What kind of wind brought you all here today?" Crowe sat down, clasped his hands and put them on the table.

Arkham Chamber of Commerce, especially in the area of ​​shipping, has a similar operating model to Levi's Chamber of Commerce. They both grow rapidly by absorbing small and medium-sized merchants.

To put it bluntly, it means that ship owners and businessmen bring resources to join the association and stay together for warmth.

For example, Brandi was originally a businessman who owned his own ship. He transported supplies from Shields Town and sold them to other islands, and he also had some savings.

After Seager came to power, the underground forces in Shields Town were reorganized. At that time, Brandy was in the port and was affected. The ship was impounded. He heard that joining the Arkham Chamber of Commerce would allow the ship to sail. He had to find Crowe and handle the matter. Go through the membership procedures.

Not this way. How could the Arkham Chamber of Commerce develop so quickly?

Everything has advantages and disadvantages. The Arkham Chamber of Commerce has developed faster, and there are also internal hills and conflicts of interest.

The leaders of the fleet here represent the interests of different small groups.

These people are not afraid of the mysterious president who rarely shows up, but they are afraid of Crowe, because since the establishment of the Arkham Chamber of Commerce, Crowe has been single-handedly responsible for its operations, and Crowe has their interests in hand, so as soon as Crowe enters the door, he speaks , which suppressed the entire audience.

No one spoke, and Crowe said calmly: "I know what you are anxious about. The goods were detained, and the merchant ships were temporarily inspected. These are all minor problems."

On the way here, the secretary had told him the reason why these people were here.

"But, Chief Steward, more than one ship suddenly encountered official trouble," said an impatient person in charge.

Someone spoke, and other people in charge discussed it.

"Yeah, I thought it was just our fleet that was in trouble, but now it seems that everyone is in trouble. We must have gotten into trouble with someone."

"That's right, there must be a reason. I asked the captains who were investigated to ask the people who inspected the ship, and they said it was the instructions from above."

"Manager Crow, please tell us so that we can feel confident."

Crowe waited until they had almost finished speaking, then tapped the table, glanced coldly with his eyes under his glasses, and asked: "Excuse me, who in your fleet has not been checked, who has not been stopped, and who has not been checked before entering the Arkham Chamber of Commerce?" Anyone who has had an accident please stand up.”

The conference room suddenly became quiet, and the people who had just shouted fiercely shrank their heads.

"I have been mute for two days and have had good days. If I have to live through hard times again, I will no longer be happy. If you are not happy, you can leave now."

After a while, the middle-aged man in the front seat smiled apologetically and said, "No, manager, that's not what we meant. We just want to ask about the situation."

"Yes, ask about the situation"

Crowe pushed up his glasses slightly and said, "Levis Trading Company sent us an invitation letter, hoping that we can join, but the president has not agreed yet."

Crowe changed his voice and said: "Okay, we will handle this matter. Recently, the fleet has been sailing and encountered difficulties in inspection. Please be patient. Don't bring any prohibited items. If they are found out, you will be responsible for them." "

Crowe stood up and left the table. The moment he walked out of the door, the conference room behind him exploded. He pushed up his glasses expressionlessly.

"Just in time, let's take this opportunity to clean up."

Liszt and Robin's schedule was not affected by this incident, because unless Liszt went to sue all the bosses of Levi's Trading Company, he would play a very small role in the whole matter.

This is not an armed conflict between pirates, but a business competition and game.

The two came to Shields Town to send birthday wishes to Silua, the daughter of Sig and Politaya.

After three years of wearing a navy uniform, Sig remained unchanged. He hugged Liszt boldly, drank wine, and threatened to compete with Liszt.

"I still remember that punch back then. I will be the winner this time, brat."

Sig took off his navy uniform, revealing his muscular body with bulging muscles. It was obvious that he had not forgotten his training.

"Okay, then I'll beat you down again," Liszt said with a smile.

"Dad, come on," Silua said in a milky voice, encouraging Sig.

Politaya and Robin each held a glass of wine and looked at it with smiles.

After a fierce fight, Sig barely won, and Silua cheered, "Dad is so awesome."

At night, on top of the base building.

Moon stars are rare.

Two men sit and drink together.

"Suddenly he came to me for a drink. He was in a bad mood." Liszt was holding the bottle of wine, his hands on his knees, and the sea was hazy in the distance.

Sig opened his clothes, felt the cool breeze blowing on his face, and said, "I miss it so much. During the time of the Giant Ax Pirates, they would sleep on the ground facing the wind. Do you think the captain really returned to the West Sea?"

"Yeah" Liszt raised his eyebrows.

Sig took a sip of wine and said, "I don't think he is a man who would give up."

"Is it"

"Have you let yourself go today? Thank you for giving me face in front of Silua, but I feel very unhappy about that feeling."

After Sig finished drinking, he smashed the bottle and said, "Here, drink it again without draining the water."
