Chapter 280
...
Geer took the drawing and looked at it, then passed it to Mo Sang and said:
"This is a design drawing of a merchant ship.
The cost of each ship is about 100 million beli.
This time I go to the Seven Rivers Capital to place an order for 100 ships.
Don’t waste the productivity of the Seven Waters Capital and let them deliver them in batches.
We sold them before They have a lot of materials, and there is a lot of materials left when they built the Ming King.
They should be able to build ten or eight ships first.
The rest will have to be brought over every time they go to trade, and then they will build new ones.
When the ship comes back, it's like snowballing.
First, increase the size of the fleet.
"
"Okay, no problem, Captain."
Mossan accepted the drawings and said, while Funi took out a notebook to write down important matters.
Geer looked at Tezzolo aside and asked:
"Is the gold plating done? ?"
"The bow decoration, the hull waistline and the sides of the ship are all plated with gold according to your request, captain. Although the gold powder does not require much gold, but to decorate the merchant ship so gorgeously, I am worried that it will attract many pirates.."
Tezolo scratched his head and said
"Indeed, is it a bit too high-profile, Captain?"
Everyone was also a little confused about the captain's actions. Only Mo Sang saw Captain Geer's intention and explained with a smile:
"I guess the captain is deliberately luring the pirates to attack the caravan, in order to build up the reputation of our chamber of commerce faster."
"Haha, yes, you guessed it, this is called fishing law enforcement. Now there are more and more pirates on the sea. Even if we are not afraid of being tired, we will still find it annoying, so we must create a deterrent effect as soon as possible! I want to kill the pirates until they are scared! Let them avoid us from now on!"
Geer gestured with his knife and said.
"I see!"
Everyone nodded suddenly.
"Then let me go to sea with the merchant ship this time? captain."
Senior, who had been leaning against the wall and smoking quietly, said.
"Black hee hee hee! Boss, let me take the 6 armored generals with me. I can look for them on the way to see if there are any more suitable shadows."
Molia also stood up and rushed to speak, and also gave a very reasonable reason.
Geer waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to argue.
"This time you both go and bring the 6 elite monsters with you. It should be enough to deal with them. Try to let them deal with them. It will not be possible for you to escort them personally in the future, so you will have to create more elite monsters if you have the opportunity."
The manpower is limited. When there are more merchant ships and multiple routes are opened in the future, like Silver Ax John and others, each one has the strength to take charge of his own role. In the future, he can be released alone to protect an entire caravan. Of course, the premise is that he must first help They find the right shadow to regain some strength
"Heihehehe, good boss, I promise to complete the mission. As long as it is a pirate encountered on the road, no one can leave alive!"
After Moria finished speaking, Geer looked at him like an idiot and became panicked. He scratched his head in embarrassment and asked:
"What's wrong, boss, did I say something wrong?"
"Why!"
Ger sighed and said:
"Use your brain in everything, otherwise you will easily gain weight. We are here to gain fame, not to lure and annihilate pirates. If you kill everyone, who will do the publicity for us?"
Molia calmed down and said:
"Oh oh, I understand, boss! Then just get rid of the pirate captain and the cadres neatly, and let a few frightened little fish go back to report the news, right?"
Ger nodded happily, he is still a teachable child, and then made a conclusion:
"Okay, then our first caravan will use these 12 ships. We will set off tomorrow and start trading along the surrounding islands. One group will go to the Capital of Seven Waters and the other group will go to the Chambord Islands. Then you will know the specific route. Make your own arrangements based on the situation. Remember, safety comes first, building a reputation comes second, and making money from trade comes third."
"Good Captain!"
Everyone responded in unison
"By the way, Tezzolo, you go to Shampoo this time and buy as many permanent pointers to the islands of the Grand Line as possible. It doesn't matter if the price is higher."
"good captain"
"Then there shouldn't be anything else, right?"
Geer asked
"Captain, we have been talking about getting a name and getting a name. It seems that our Chamber of Commerce doesn’t have a name yet, nor does it have a flag. Stella asked with a smile.
"Forehead? It seems that is the case, it seems that we have all forgotten the important things."
Everyone slapped their foreheads, and then they remembered that the Chamber of Commerce has not even decided on a name yet.
"Captain, come and pick one up. I'll stop by to register on this trip. We obviously need a legal identity."
After Mo Sang finished speaking, everyone turned to look at the captain.
It was time to take names again!
It was really a waste of time! Everything is a new beginning.
"Ta da, da da, da da!"
"Let me think about it."
Ger tapped his index and middle fingers lightly on the table, thought for a while and said:
"Or call it Burra Chamber of Commerce!"
"oh? What does this name mean? Boss?"
Molia asked with a smile. He liked to listen to Captain Geer's nonsense the most.
Geer had a fart meaning in his mind, that is, he pronounced Rab's name upside down. Can't you kid recognize it?
"Ahem, in the myths and legends of my hometown, there is a ferocious and auspicious beast called Pixiu.
According to legend, Pixiu has a mouth without chrysanthemums, and can swallow everything without defecation.
It has the implication of absorbing wealth from all directions, and it also has the effect of dispersing evil spirits and bringing good luck.
It is an auspicious beast that businessmen like very much.
We just happen to have an auspicious beast called Labu, so we combined it and named it Bra Chamber of Commerce!
"
Ger responded to the situation and said nonchalantly without a red face and a heartbeat.
He seriously frightened everyone present.
"Good name! As expected of a captain, he is so cultured"
"Captain, can you tell me when you have time?���I am very interested in the mythical stories of your hometown."
Funi requested.
Geer smiled and directly handed over a copy of"The Classic of Mountains and Seas"》
"Hei hei hei, by the way, captain, where is the flag?"
Ger was a little suspicious of whether this guy was deliberately looking for trouble, just waiting to see if he couldn't make it up and make a fool of himself on the spot?
But after seeing the sincere and admiring expression on Moria's face, Geer felt that he might have misunderstood him. He could only cough twice before continuing:
"Print a free-swimming golden whale in the middle of the red base! A big flying fish like Labu is also recorded in the myths and legends of my hometown. Its name is Kun! The meaning is: high aspirations and great ambitions, and it is also a symbol of the pursuit of freedom!"
"good! What a moral! We're going to put flags on all merchant ships right now! The sails must also be arranged!"
Everything has been discussed and everyone has begun to leave the table and make final preparations for tomorrow's sailing.
Soon, Captain Geer was the only one left in the hall.
"Damn it, it’s so hard to act cool!"
Seeing that there was no one around, Geer wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with emotion.
Then he walked out of the castle and took Weibull and Barrett, who had just finished their intense exercise, to the back kitchen for a big meal. They would eat whatever they wanted. , Captain Geer specially ordered some spicy pork brain flakes....
