Pirate: I partnered with Zefa to build a new navy!

New World, an uninhabited island not too far from G-5 Naval Base.

This place has now been selected as the shipbuilding base of the G-5 Navy. The original uninhabited desert island is also under development. Ortorun did not even return to the base and came here directly to conduct inspection work.

In the newly built scrawled pier, Altorun was sitting on a stone pier, holding a report in his hand and looking at the information on it. Standing beside him were Master Flying Squirrel and Tom.

This report, summarized by Master Tom, is a plan for this shipbuilding base.

"As for these production equipment, contact Doflamingo and ask him to collect them for me as soon as possible and send them over... As for the money, I will deduct from his 20 billion." Altoren looked at it for a while. This plan, he raised his head and said to the flying squirrel.

The flying squirrel nodded when he heard this and quickly recorded the matter in his notebook.

Vergo on the side listened to these words, his expression twitched, and he observed two seconds of silence for his young master.

Then, Oltorun looked at Master Tom and said, "Do we need this many workers?"

After hearing Ortorun's inquiry, Master Tom nodded and said: "The main reason is that the target you set is very high. If you want to produce twenty warships per year, you will need at least 20,000 people to do it. After all, the warships are very large in size." , not to mention that you also said that you want to build other standard ships, such as armed transport ships and the like, for sale to the outside world, then our demand for workers will be very high, and they must be healthy, young, and powerful."

Ortoron thought in silence for a moment. Although the new world is chaotic, it still has a large population. The Saint Satan in the Five Old Stars is actually right. People are really like insects. They must be eliminated. After a batch, they can reproduce again soon.

So if you want to recruit enough workers, that's actually not a big problem, but if you want to pay at least 5 workers, that's a big problem. Just kidding, how can his G- have so much money?

"Then how much does this salary cost per year?" Ortorun asked after thinking for a while.

Master Tom thought carefully and responded: "Normally speaking, in the Capital of Seven Waters, the monthly salary of this kind of worker is in the range of 60,000 to 150,000, depending on the level of technical proficiency... Let's take a middle value. , a person with one hundred thousand berriles a month, that month is an expenditure of 2 billion berriles, and in one year, it will be 24 billion berriles..."

"What?" Altorun said in shock: "Will you consume more than one King's Shichibukai in a year?"

Master Tom? ? ?

What is your unit of calculation?

"How can I have so much money to pay them wages!?" Altorun said reluctantly, patting his thigh.

At this moment, he seemed to understand those capitalists who should be hanged on the street lamps.

I built warships to enhance the strength of the G-5 Navy. To enhance the strength of the G-5 Navy, I built warships to better safeguard the peace of the new world and allow everyone to live a good and peaceful life. As a result, for this just and magnificent Target, why the hell do I have to pay more than billion a year? Is there any royal law for this? Are there any laws?

The flying squirrel on the side reminded: "This is just salary expenditure. The remaining material costs and so on have not been calculated..."

Hearing this, Ortorun's head was pounding. No, if he remembered correctly, the headquarters and the Seven Waters Capital bought warships. After twenty years, the warships would only be worth 200 million beli. Now, it would be about 80 to 90 million yuan.

Twenty warships, if purchased, would only last for 2 billion beli. How come it is my turn to build them myself, and even 20 billion beli cannot hold them back? How does this capital of seven waters make money? This is unscientific!

After asking Master Tom about this doubt, Oltorun understood that the City of Seven Waters has a full industry chain for shipbuilding, and the efficiency of workers is far superior to that of workers recruited at random. There are already The system has matured and operated systematically.

Therefore, the cost will drop significantly. According to Tom, if this shipbuilding island can operate stably for five or six years and attract a large number of skilled workers, then there will be more than twenty warships every year? The island in the Capital of Seven Waters can supply all the giant warships needed by the Navy Headquarters, which shows its high productivity!

Therefore, it is certain to lose money in the early stage, but if the sales channels are stable in the later stage, these can be earned back. And according to Master Tom, the shipbuilding industry is an industry with a very long return cycle, and it is not a huge profit. industry.

"Expenditures such as equipment and lumber actually occupy a small part. The real big part of the expenditure is still on workers' wages, right?" Ortorun finally came to this conclusion and asked.

Master Tom also nodded and said, "Yes, that's the situation."

"Then it seems that this salary cannot be paid." Ortorun said without hesitation.

Master Tom looked at Ortolen with surprised eyes. Is this what you, a naval admiral, should say? Are you trying to create a sweatshop? Isn't it too inhumane?

"Three-legged toads are hard to find. Aren't two-legged people running around in the streets? You can't use workers, you have to use slaves!" Ortorun said with a firm face.

The flying squirrel was stunned for a moment and said hesitantly: "Isn't this... is this too cruel? We are the navy..."

Ortorun waved his hand and said: "Of course I don't mean to capture people randomly and use them as slaves. What I mean is, do you know that in the past two years since the great pirate era began, the number of pirates has surged to Impel?" Isn’t it reasonable to send those criminals who can’t be detained to me for reform through labor as brother units?”

"Huh?" The flying squirrel was stunned by Altorun's statement. He could still do such an operation! ?

"Letting these bastards eat and drink with public funds in Impelton and raising them like an uncle, why not let them shine for a just cause so that they can atone for their crimes as soon as possible. In this way, write this down. , I will contact the Warring States General later and ask him to issue an order to Impelton. You go and form a fleet and prepare to escort the prisoners there to work!" Ortorun is the one with the power of action. The very strong man made his decision immediately.

Impelton Prison, from a systemic point of view, is a subordinate institution of the Navy Headquarters, and the appointment of the prison warden requires the signature of the Navy Marshal.

In the original story, Magellan wanted to take the blame and resign because of the great prison break, so he made a report to Sengoku, who was the then marshal of the navy. This shows that the relationship between the upper and lower levels is very clear.

Therefore, as long as the headquarters issues an administrative order, Impelton will definitely cooperate with Altolen's arrangements.

Just kidding, Kaido didn’t even pay wages when he organized people to mine in Wano. Why should I, Altorun, pay wages?

Pirates can do it, but our navy can't?

Even the consumables are similar. Kaido consumes pirates who are unwilling to surrender to him and some local underworld organizations in Wano. I, Altorun, also consume pirates, all for justice.

Flying Squirrel always felt that there was something wrong with this process, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that what Ortorun said was right. Those bastard pirates were of no use in Imperial, so leave them here. , used as slave labor, can actually make outstanding contributions to justice!

Since it is something that helps justice, it fully complies with the Navy's standards of conduct, and there is nothing wrong with it!

"I understand, then I will arrange the fleet." Flying Squirrel immediately recorded it in his notebook.

Master Tom watched the two navy bosses calmly and quickly solve this problem, and he was filled with emotion. This navy... is really complicated!

"Well, we need to broaden our thinking. You see, if you think about it now, pirate slaves can not only build warships to provide us with value. With such a large number of cheap labor, we can also consider the development of other industries. Tai Zoro, go back and follow the idea just now, come up with the entire relevant plan, and see what other industries can make these bastard pirates shine, and open up more ways for me to make money. We are rich. , the new world can be more prosperous! This is a great thing that will benefit the entire new world, so please be more careful." Altorun said matter-of-factly.

Tezzolo also felt that there was something wrong with Ortorun's logic, but after thinking about it, it did make sense. Only when G-5 had money could the new world become more prosperous. There was nothing wrong with it!

What is this called? This is called common prosperity, where getting rich first leads to getting rich later!
