Dragon Slayer of Pirate World

7 month 15 day.

Leiter and Robin appeared near the Kingdom of Goa.

In this relatively remote sea area, they saw Brother Bingshan and Franky who were directing the construction team to work overtime to lay the maritime railway track.

The sea train is a key project that Lite vigorously promotes, and Bingshan and Franky are indeed not lazy. Since they were brought back to the East China Sea by Lite in October last year, in the past ten months, they have spent almost all their time and All the energy is spent on this work.

Thanks to their full efforts, this project can progress so quickly. According to the current completion status, it may not take three years for the transportation network originally requested by Leite to be basically formed.

"Bingshan, Franky, thank you for your hard work."

Leiter controlled the black dragon to slowly hover above the two of them and jumped down gently.

"Mr. Leiter"

Bingshan wiped the sweat from his forehead and went forward with Franky.

The track laying work has been going on for more than 9 months, and most of the technology and craftsmanship no longer require their attention. The reason why they still have to do it themselves is just to further increase the speed.

Leiter pointed to a piece of machinery and equipment not far away that was still under construction:

"Franky, this is something you made, right?"

Franky, who was only wearing a pair of swimming trunks, wiped his nose proudly:

"Oh, that's right, that's right. This is a machine specially invented by me to improve efficiency. Isn't it super cool?"

Leiter smiled and nodded:

"Have you ever considered that as long as this technology continues to be promoted, one day in the future, perhaps all human work can be completed by machines? The world will usher in the age of big technology and the age of big machines."

Both Bingshan and Franky were startled. After all, they were technical experts, and Franky was keen on inventing various new weapons. To put it mildly, he could also be included in the ranks of scientific inventors.It would be unrealistic to say that they have no yearning for the future mentioned by Leiter.

Franky's mood was obviously very high. He even twisted his buttocks and danced a dreamy dance:

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa; I am the man who will lead the era of big machines.”

Bingshan was still relatively restrained. After thinking for a moment, he calmly said to Leiter:

"Mr. Leiter, I have an inappropriate request. I hope you can agree to it."

Leiter's eyes turned to him:

"how"

Bingshan's face was still expressionless, and only two thin lips could be seen slowly opening:

"After the first phase of the sea train is completed, I want to return to the Capital of Seven Waters for a while."

Leiter agreed to him without any hesitation:

"Of course. Frankie might as well go back to visit your hometown together, but I'm afraid Mr. Tom can't accompany you."

Bingshan nodded in understanding:

"I know, thank you Mr. Leiter."

After all, Tom is still a criminal of the World Government. Being able to breathe the free air in the East China Sea is only a temporary bail requested by Leiter. He must be under the surveillance of the navy at all times. Of course, he cannot follow his disciples and wander around without any scruples.

A few people chatted for a while, and Bingshan scratched his hair in a little embarrassment:

"Mr. Leiter, there is another problem. Because the original scope was not so broad, the funds are no longer enough."

Leiter laughed:

"You don't have to be in this embarrassment. When I entrusted you with the task, I only had one branch, the 16th, but now it has expanded to four or five times the sea area. It is normal for the amount of work to increase. Just tell me how much more is needed. A number."

Bingshan took out a small notebook from his shirt pocket and quickly flipped through a few pages:

"Judging from the current calculation results, the length of track laid has increased nearly 15 times compared to the initial data, and the number of stations and the number of trains will also increase accordingly, so additional funds are needed, which is at least 20 times the original amount. 2 trillion berries”

When it comes to the final figure, Iceberg is indeed very embarrassed, because this is absolutely an unimaginably huge amount of money.

2 trillion berries

Calculated with reference to the exchange rate of the Japanese yen, that is 1232 billion yuan

After hearing this number, even Leiter couldn't help falling into a brief silence.

It is true that his industry is growing like a snowball, and each kingdom has paid a considerable amount of protection fees very wisely, but various expenses have also increased exponentially.

He now has more than 5000 navy personnel and 30 bases under his command. There are also more than [-] islanders on the Boulder Islands who have come to him. He wants to make a fortune on the basis of maintaining the high quality of life of these people. Further development and growth is definitely not an easy task.

New bases, ports, warships, weapons, naval housing, resettlement housing for new islanders, agriculture, industry, commerce, mining areas, schools, nursing homes, libraries, various public facilities, scientific research in the Kingdom of Germa, Which of the plantations and amusement parks in the Dontata Kingdom does not require large amounts of capital investment?

Today, Lite is facing the biggest difficulties encountered by most local governments in construction and development:

On the one hand, we want to complete key projects as soon as possible, but on the other hand, we really don’t have such huge funds.

Although the Boulder Islands do have a large amount of timber and mineral resources, these resources are only a drop in the bucket in the face of such a huge project, and there is no way to meet the demand. Most materials can only be purchased from the nearest countries and islands. Otherwise it will only add another cost, transportation charges

Boldrette, who once thought that earning tens of billions a year was the peak of his life, suddenly found that he had no money at all.

In front of him is a trillion-dollar hole

"Iceberg, Franky, I'll give you 1000 billion beli for emergency first, and I'll figure out the rest."

After thinking for a long time, he finally spoke again.

Bingshan nodded:

"The budget will be used up soon. If the follow-up funds cannot keep up, I'm afraid we will have to temporarily suspend the work."

Leiter's mood suddenly darkened.

Although he owned millions of acres of fertile land, the planting time was too short to accumulate a large amount of wealth.

As for the various businesses of the Boulder Group, they are basically in the stage of rapid expansion. It is very difficult to barely maintain operations. It is absolutely difficult to squeeze out additional funds under the current situation.

Almost all pirate groups in the East China Sea that can be sold for money have been wiped out, and sunken ships and treasures are not so easy to salvage. If you want to obtain a large amount of money in a short period of time, there seems to be only one way left.

Grab it

He had to call his confidential phone number:

"Leidondo, check for me the specific location of the Golden Emperor."

Sorry, Tezzolo.

For the prosperity and stability of the East China Sea, please pay a little protection fee.
