From Pirates to Sweeping the Worlds

However, what worries Xia Jieren is that the current king of the Magnetic Drum Kingdom is Wapol's father, a kind and hardworking king.

"This is a bit difficult, isn't it?" Xia Jieren was a little at a loss.

After thinking for a while, Xia Jieren still couldn't do the thing of killing people and usurping the throne. "Forget it, let's try to trade. After Wapol ascends the throne and does something that angers the heavens and the people, I will usurp the throne."

"Let Kerrigan allocate a small portion of computing power to support medical research."

For the Umbrella Group, Xia Jieren's plan is to focus on medicines and medical devices, supplemented by other products.

The Umbrella Group is further divided into Umbrella Armed Forces, Umbrella Pharmaceuticals, and Umbrella Chamber of Commerce.

As the name suggests.

The Umbrella Armed Forces is mainly responsible for protecting the normal business activities of the Umbrella Group.

Umbrella Pharmaceuticals is responsible for the research and development of drugs and medical devices.

The Umbrella Chamber of Commerce is responsible for the sale of medicines and their equipment, as well as the procurement, processing and sale of other goods.

Xia Jieren is very optimistic about the pharmaceutical industry.

Although there are magical devil fruit abilities in this world, their numbers are too rare and insignificant compared to the rest of the world.

Through the pharmaceutical industry, Xia Jieqing can easily gather a large amount of wealth and resources.

Sake makes people's faces red, and wealth and silk touch people's hearts.

Possessing such a large amount of wealth in the chaotic world of pirates would surely attract the covetousness of all parties.

There is a high probability that the world government will also be involved. Even if the world government does not intervene personally, it will inevitably take some small actions.

Therefore, Umbrella Corporation also needs to have strong military force to safeguard the development of Umbrella Corporation.

Besides, "It is easy to see the King of Hell, but difficult to deal with the little ghosts."

In order to reduce trouble, the Umbrella Corporation also needs to share a portion of its profits to win over those nobles, big pirates, and local tyrants.

Although Xia Jieqing was somewhat reluctant, he had to compromise temporarily in order to obtain the greatest benefit.

"One day, I will make you spit out double what you have eaten of me." Xia Jieqing said secretly.

Longevity is what everyone pursues, and it is especially desired by the rich, powerful and influential nobles.

These nobles are extremely greedy. While giving them benefits, they also need to be put on a bridle.

The ridiculously expensive health products that were specially developed for the nobility and could prolong life were the shackles that Xia Jieren prepared for them.

After planning everything, Xia Jieren sent the plan to Marcus.

He doesn't need to worry about what happens next, and he believes Marcus will give a satisfactory answer.

......

While Marcus was working in full swing, the other three were not to be outdone.

East China Sea.

Gruber came to the town of Rogue, which is known as the "town of the beginning and the end".

Rogue Town is located in the East China Sea, near the entrance to the Grand Line. The Pirate King Gol D. Roger was born in Rogue Town and was also executed here.

Gruber conducted research for three consecutive days, visiting streets large and small, and finally chose to work in the transportation industry.

The variety of goods in Rogue Town is very complete, and there are even specialties that are only available in the Grand Line.

As trade prospers, there is a huge demand for logistics and transportation.

Due to the rampant pirates, some small merchants abandoned their ships and went ashore.

Only some large and medium-sized maritime merchants with strong capital took this opportunity to make huge profits.

Although there are no powerful pirates in the East China Sea because Garp often returns to the East China Sea, there are still numerous small pirates.

Based on this, Gruber rented a small shop near the center of Rogge town to take orders.

He himself boarded the newly purchased merchant ship and took the crew recruited at high prices to personally escort the goods to sea.

Ocean freight is very profitable, especially when transporting high-value goods.

In the next period of time, Gruber's fleet expanded rapidly and won a large number of orders.

This, understandably, caused resistance from other ship owners.

Gruber took the opportunity to launch an insurance business, promising to pay a certain percentage of compensation if the goods were damaged, robbed or lost during transportation.

This insurance business was a huge success and quickly attracted a lot of attention.

For a time, orders came in like snowflakes.

Gruber also became a hot figure in Rogue Town.

Later, he established the Global Transport Group, which consists of three parts: Ping An Insurance Company, Global Shipping Company, and Global Chamber of Commerce.

South China Sea.

Norbert did not make the same choice as Gruber and Marcus.

He simply found an island with a very developed shipbuilding industry and opened a blacksmith shop.

Together with other insect people, he began to produce cold weapons on an assembly line.

Norbert's blacksmith department can produce eighteen kinds of weapons, including knives, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hatchets, hooks, forks, whips, maces, hammers, daggers, spears, sticks, lances, clubs, spears and rakes. The styles are very exquisite and you can tell at first glance that they are the works of a master.

For a long time, the weapons produced by Norbert were very popular, and orders were once placed two months later.

In order to respond to the expectant customers, Norbert's hand-rubbed steam engine and many semi-automatic machines directly realized the semi-automatic production of cold weapons.

At the same time, Norbert established the Cyberpunk Group to integrate and manage its industries.

North Sea.

The people of Beihai are tough and wars are frequent.

Here is the world-famous evil army "Germa 66", as well as the future Shichibukai Donquixote Doflamingo and his pirate group.

Hydra worked as a middleman in the North Sea, selling weapons wholesaled from the underworld to pirates.

It is a bit tiring, and there are always short-sighted pirates who want to get something for free, but the profit is really high.

Relying on the sale of arms, Hydra's business is growing bigger and bigger, and his team is becoming more and more complete.

Afterwards, he founded the Hydra Group and gained a certain degree of fame among the pirate community and the underground world.

Surprisingly, the Don Quixote family, a newly-established family in the North Sea, took the initiative to seek cooperation with Hydra.

After careful consideration, Hydra agreed.

Cooperation between the two parties will help Hydra Group to expand into a larger market, so there is no reason not to agree.

However, Hydra still put forward some conditions to the Don Quixote family.

The most important of these is to provide devil fruits to the Hydra Group.

Any kind will do, Hydra will buy it at 1.5 times the market price.

After hearing this condition, Doflamingo showed a meaningful smile, and then laughed wildly.

.....

Kingdom of the Netherlands.

After arranging the construction of the branch base, Xia Jieren just left it alone.

During this period, Xia Jieren concentrated on exercising, wrote novels in his spare time, or accompanied Litte out for outings to deepen their relationship.

As it turns out, Xia Jieren's creative talent is not that great.

All the novels he created on his own failed, but most of the novels he copied from the great Blue Star writer were successful.

This made him a little discouraged, "Forget it, I'll just be an honest plagiarist in the future."

Due to the policy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to support the cultural and entertainment industry, novels and short stories flourished for a time.
