The Super Dimension Pirates in One Piece

Chapter 483 Selling Real Estate
In Beihai, on the construction site connecting to the entrance of the New World Waterway, thousands of workers are working in full swing.

The island that was brought here as a battlefield was almost half destroyed in the war between the Shenzhou Kingdom and the navy. Wendy and Akin moved two more islands and put them together with this riddled island.

Kanna used the ability of Shishi fruit and spent a lot of effort to rebuild the three islands into a large island, and at the same time formed a safe haven, port, coastal defense fort, as well as the foundations and underground passages of various houses, so that the construction personnel behind can lay Underground cables, sewers and other public facilities.

Of course, the underground passage made of rock alone is not strong, and the construction workers behind need to use steel bars, cement and other building materials to carry out additional reinforcement work to ensure that even if the ground is washed by naval artillery, the construction safety of the underground space can be guaranteed. It can be used as an air-raid shelter.

Under Karen's ability, the uneven islands became orderly, with a trapezoidal layout with the highest center and gradually descending towards the surrounding, interspersed and connected by various roads in the middle.

Kallen used the ability to fly the fruit to easily turn a large amount of supplies into light and fluffy cloth. The cargo carried by one sailboat was enough to carry the load of twenty sails.

The wages are adequate, the food is sufficient, and all the workers on the construction site work very hard.

Piers, roads, commercial streets, hotels, restaurants, stations...

A new port city was gradually born on this island.

When some businessmen who got wind of it arrived at the island by sailing boat, what they saw was a city that was just showing its shape.

And this city seems to be a construction site that will never stop. The workers are working with excitement, which is a sight that cannot be seen in other places.

"This is...the island under the jurisdiction of the Four Emperor Pirates..." A businessman muttered to himself, "I always feel that Dawn and the city planning of Shenzhou Kingdom are even better than the capitals of some of the alliance countries."

Another businessman added: "At least the appearance of the workers is unmatched in other places."

"Shhh!" Several other people broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly whispered: "This is the territory of the Four Emperors, please keep your voice down, and don't implicate us."

"It doesn't matter..." The businessman shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "What we said just now are all good things, and as long as we don't offend the cadres of the Dawn Pirates, we definitely don't have to worry about our lives."

A businessman asked anxiously: "Do you think the Dawn Pirates really won't detain us, including our people and goods?"

The other businessmen laughed "haha" and laughed together: "Hey, you are too timid!"

"Since you don't believe in the reputation of the Four Emperors, why did you come here?"

"Ah~" The man sighed and explained helplessly, "I don't want to come, I'm just a representative sent by the family."

"Don't worry!" A businessman patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "As long as you complete this job, you might be able to get the appreciation of the elders of your family when you go back."

"Look, over there—" A businessman gestured with his chin, a tugboat with smoke coming out of its chimney was pulling a large wooden sailboat with steel cables, preparing to pass through the dead zone.

There is neither wind nor current in the range of the windless zone, and the entire sea surface is as smooth as a mirror.

Only the specially-made foreign ships of the Navy Headquarters, or the steel ships made by the Shenzhou Kingdom can pass through the windless zone. Even if Eric builds a new channel connecting the New World and the North Sea, these wooden sailing ships that rely on wind power cannot move freely. Travel between the New World and the North Sea.

Therefore, Eric can not only collect tolls, but can even rent and sell tugboats to earn a towing fee.

These businessmen also smelled business opportunities and wanted to buy some stores in this port city to open stores, restaurants, hotels, etc. This waterway is a safe shortcut to the new world, and the passenger flow will definitely not be small. If you have money to make, if you buy a store here, you will definitely not lose money.

Among them, there are also people who want to buy steel ships made by the Shenzhou Kingdom.

In the several battles that broke out between the Dawn Pirates and the navy, Eric will show his advantages such as flexibility, fast speed, and artillery range to the world. Other countries are salivating at the shipbuilding technology of the Shenzhou Kingdom. However, the Dawn Pirates cannot obtain this shipbuilding technology.

And in this investment promotion, Eric disclosed to the public that he intends to sell some ships, among which are naturally the steel ships that other people covet and rely on propellers to advance.

However, Eric does not plan to sell warships, because the working principles of breech-loading guns and rifling are not complicated. As long as they are clear, the enemy can quickly imitate and manufacture them.

As for high-tech weapons such as electromagnetic guns and laser guns, Eric has no plans to sell them.

So Eric only plans to sell some cargo ships with fast sailing speed and large cargo capacity.The sailing speed is fast, and the pirates driving the sailing wooden boat cannot catch up. The steel hull can easily defend against those round cannons, and the conditions for life are all there.

Ships that rely on propellers can sail easily in calm areas, and merchants don't need to pay a towing fee, and the volume of goods carried will also increase in a straight line.

These businessmen who are good at calculating accounts immediately moved after hearing the news, this steel ship is a sharp weapon!With excellent escape ability and strong survivability, when encountering pirates, there will be no scene of losing money and goods.

And Eric also wants to bind the interests of North Sea merchants together. This world can have no nobles, but it cannot live without merchants. Merchants are the main source of investment in the productive economy and an important part of running commodities.

However, on the other hand, Eric has to beware of excessive entanglement between officials and businessmen, that is, politics must be kept at a certain distance from the interests of capitalists. After all, Eric’s summoned honest officials are extremely limited, and most of the grassroots management still needs local natives. .

"Everyone is the businessman team who came to visit, right?" Baby-5 and Queen Sweetheart, dressed in white maid outfits, acted as reception specialists.

"It's so beautiful..." A businessman with red eyes immediately elbowed the person next to him, choking the words behind him.

"Everyone is here, please come this way." Queen Sweetheart, who has purple eye shadow on her eyelids, smooth and tender skin, and a curvy figure, is also used to other people's lustful eyes, and leads the way with Baby-5.

"It hurts..." The businessman who was hit by an elbow held his right rib.

"You want to die, but we don't want to die!" Seeing the other people glaring at him fiercely, he was too frightened to continue complaining.

Many businessmen boarded carriages and headed for the completed Governor's Mansion.

After everyone walked into the large conference hall and took their seats, several people stepped on the footsteps of "dengdeng" and turned out from behind.

Seeing this person, almost all of these businessmen were taken aback.

"Your Majesty Eric!" Without exception, everyone stood up and saluted.

"Everyone, please sit down." Eric said in a warm voice, and then sat on the main seat.

Hearing this, these businessmen sat down in panic. Some of their buttocks were touching half of the chairs, and some even fell to the ground because they couldn't sit still.

However, the others did not laugh at him, and everyone was equally anxious. They did not expect that the Four Emperors who ruled the sea would be present in person for such a trivial matter as attracting investment.

Zhuge Liang, who was in charge of diplomatic affairs, stepped forward and read aloud: "Welcome to the City of Generosity (this newly named town)."

"As you can see, this city is a newly emerging port city, and it is the lifeblood connecting the New World and the North Sea. As long as this waterway exists, it can shorten the voyage by at least half a year, and reach the second half of the great seaway from the North Sea."

"This city will definitely become an important cargo distribution point, and I believe you can see this with your eyes."

Hearing this, many businessmen nodded one after another.

As the saying goes: If there is a 50.00% profit, capital will take risks; if there is a [-]% profit, capital will dare to risk hanging; if there is a [-]% profit, capital will dare to trample on everything in the world law.

As for the route from Beihai to New World, the profit even far exceeds [-]%, and the only violation of the law is doing business with the powerful Four Emperor Pirates.

However, the World Government is also doing business with the Pirates, and even invited seven powerful pirates to become Shichibukai, and also asked Qiwuhai to pay part of the plundered proceeds.

Many people were aggrieved, why only the state officials were allowed to set fires, but the common people were not allowed to light lamps? !
"We sell shops and residences to the outside world, and the height of each shop has requirements." Zhuge Liang signaled to the staff, and used the projection phone to project a map of the entire island.

Holding a small stick, Zhuge Liang guided everyone's attention to various commercial streets, food streets, warehouse areas and other areas, and introduced: "The houses and land for sale this time only account for one-fifth of the total, and the remaining shops and land will be sold in It will be sold in batches later.”

Many merchants showed regretful expressions. They were the first merchants to hear the news and came the fastest. They wanted to buy as many shops as possible. Unexpectedly, the Dawn Pirates would still play the trick of restricting purchases.

And some regional businessmen whose journeys are too far away, or whose sources of information are slow, cannot reach the City of Generosity in time, so they can only miss this time.

It is not possible to sell all the land at once. According to Eric’s life experience in his previous life, if too much land is sold too quickly, the government may run out of money in the future, and economic construction will also be affected.

Zhuge Liang also agrees with Eric's idea that a small number of people should not be allowed to take the majority of the interests. A large number of businessmen must be included as much as possible and bundled into a community of interests. Maybe the navy will attack the city of generosity later, and there will be a bunch of [-] boys from allied countries to help Deliver the message ahead of time.

When introducing the requirements for each region and building, Zhuge Liang also added the tax rate, and explained clearly what punishment would be imposed if tax evasion occurred.

Eric added at the end: "What Zhuge Liang said is what I mean. As long as you do business honestly, the officials of the Shenzhou Kingdom will never take your stitches!"

Many businessmen nodded in agreement.

In the bidding stage, Zhuge Liang made full use of his eloquence to compete with the Confucian scholars, and sold the land that was not in a good location for a high price, and the land in a good location was sold for a sky-high price, which made Eric dumbfounded.

After the auction of the shop and the land, it was the turn of the shipyard to place orders. The round Tom recorded the tonnage of the cargo ship that each merchant wanted to buy.

"These boats need to be made to order." Tom flipped through the order, estimated the time, and finally confirmed it: "The boat will take two months to launch at the fastest, and subsequent orders may have to wait for about a year and a half. Is this okay? ?”

Everyone also understands that ships cannot be built in one day, and ships that do not need wind power can be manufactured by only one shipyard in China, and there is no other shipyard in the world.

So everyone nodded in agreement.

Eric received the money softly. Some businessmen did not bring enough deposits, so they had to pay the IOUs first. Eric also believed that no one would dare to rely on his own account.

After many businessmen left, Tom asked quite unexpectedly: "However, we obviously have better engines, why only sell ships with steam engines?"

"Keep your hand in everything, Mr. Tom." Eric replied with a smile, blinking his eyes: "If someone backhand sells the ship to the Navy Headquarters, so that the Navy can get powerful warships to fight with us, wouldn't we be at a disadvantage? ?”

"So that's it..." Tom nodded, and then said, "I see."

Eric continued: "The speed of the steam engine ship is seventeen or eighteen knots, which is far faster than the maximum speed of the sailing battleship at thirteen knots, so, Mr. Tom, you don't need to worry."

……

"Beihai, it's so cold...!" Yamato has set foot on Beihai for three or four days. With the destroyer's speed of more than 20 knots, the surveillance ship sent by Sengoku couldn't keep up. After a while, he lost his sight. The goal.

The navy can only use the sea chart to order the Beihai Branch of the Dawn Pirates to send ships to conduct limited surveillance.

However, due to the large difference in speed, they were easily thrown away by the Dawn Pirates.

"This is the north." Robin in a coat walked up to Yamato, looked at the bouncing Yamato with a smile, and opened his mouth to exhale a white breath, which quickly dissipated in the air.

Yamato asked curiously: "Robin, have you been to Beihai before? But, your hometown seems to be Xihai, right?"

"Yeah." Robin nodded slightly, and said casually, "I came to Beihai with Eric before, and met some interesting newcomers."

"Oh?" Yamato asked: "Newcomer, who is from Beihai? Is it Yoshino? Or Reiju?"

"Neither of them." Robin shook his head and said, "They didn't follow our team and continued to practice in Beihai."

"So that's how it is..." Yamato nodded, with a rather depressed expression on his face.

Robin smiled and comforted, "However, if we are lucky, we might meet them."

"Yeah!" Yamato nodded heavily, and then said: "Obviously a member of a pirate group, but I don't know them, it seems to exclude me alone... This kind of feeling is really bad."

"Don't blame Eric, because their strength is a bit weak. Once our relationship with them is exposed, it may lead to death."

"I understand!" Yamato's tone brightened again.
