Pirate: The Strongest Pirate Merchant

Sea Circle Calendar November 1515.

Lin En came to the Leslie area of ​​East Blue.

The Leslie area has always been in a state of war and instability.

In the past few years, the Royal Army was able to suppress the rebel army.

However, in recent years, with the behind-the-scenes guidance of the revolutionary army and the experience of the insurgent army, the number of soldiers has increased.

As a result, the Royal Army no longer has an advantage in combat in recent years.

However, the turmoil in the Leslie area has already earned Lin En a huge amount of money.

The rice, flour, canned food, etc. eaten by the rebels here are all supplied by Lin En.

Every time the rebels captured a city, they would rob the nobles' wealth and use it to pay for weapons, food, and medicine.

In other words, the rebels are almost working for Lin En and making money for Lin En.

Lin En came to Corrador County in the Leslie area.

This was once an industrial city.

It's just that industry is in the hands of the nobles.

Since Corrador County was captured by the rebels, the factories here have stopped production.

People here either fled or joined the rebel army.

As for the nobles?

Either they were teased by the rebels, or they fled long ago without a trace.

Therefore, all the factories here are empty, including the machines inside, all of which are ownerless.

Lin En came to a steelmaking plant and said: "This used to be the largest steelmaking plant in East Blue, and its annual output accounted for 40% of East Blue's steel production.

Bartolomeo asked: "Are we going to buy it?"

"Of course, why not buy it?"

Lin En has been waiting for this day for a long time.

This was before the war broke out in the Leslie area.

Wanting to buy this steel mill is almost a daydream.

Because the production capacity and technology of this steelmaking plant are the best in East Blue.

The nobles would never sell the steel mill.

Because it is the duck that lays golden eggs.

But things are different now.

The Leslie area fell, and the Royal Army was defeated by the rebels.

It’s not just steel mills.

Lin En's appetite is more than that.

This is a huge industrial complex.

Lin En naturally wants to annex them all.

And, now is the right time.

The rebel army and the Royal Army fought, and the Royal Army was at a disadvantage and lost control of these areas.

Therefore, Lin En can now make a judgment with the nobles of the royal capital.

As for why not negotiate with the revolutionary army?

The Revolutionary Army would not give a price that would make Lin En's heart beat.

As for buying it from the nobles, it became Lin En's property.

Lin En believes that the revolutionary army will not break with him because of things here.

After all, the revolutionary army still needs Lin En's help.

Bilier, the capital of the Kingdom of Frank.

Bilier is a seaport city.

There used to be a very famous golden beach here, and at the same time, there were also hot singing and dancing.

However, Billil has now entered a city-wide martial law.

On the frontal battlefield, the royal army was retreating steadily, and the rebel army was advancing vigorously.

Of the 200,000 royal troops, those who were killed, captured, and those who revolted in front of the battle exceeded 100,000.

Now the rebel army, led by Betty, is heading straight for the capital, Bilier.

Can Billier hold on?

This is a question that concerns everyone.

Recently the nobles have been preparing to escape.

Although Bilir is a century-old city, its walls are solid and thick.

But the rebels were too strong.

If he didn't escape from Bilir early, he would probably become a dead man killed by the rebels.

Outside Duke Owen's Palace.

Lin En took people to the Duke's Mansion.

Owen and Lin En are not very familiar with each other, but their family uses the perfumes sold by Lin En Chamber of Commerce.

…Please give me flowers…

Therefore, Owen still spared some time to meet with Lin En.

Soon after Lin En and Irving met, Lin En explained his intention.

"Want to buy the steel mill, textile factory in Corrador...and the copper mine in Lince?"

Irving didn't expect that Lin En was so open-minded that he wanted to buy it for so many years.

However, this is not surprising.

Lin En can make so much money, he must have his own method.

Irving asked directly: "If you really want to buy it, how much will the steel mill plan to pay?"

Lin En said: "One billion Baileys."

1 billion Baileys?!

Irving originally wanted to kill Lin En.

Unexpectedly, the price Lin En gave him was shocking.

Irving said: "Lin En, such a big factory cannot be bought with 1 billion!"

Duke Owen did not expect Lin En to be so direct.

This is simply a steal!

Lin En said: "Then I'll wait until the rebels establish a new country before talking to them about the acquisition.

The implication is that if you don't sell it now, you won't get 100 million Baileys.

Owen kept silent and was thinking hard about the pros and cons.

If there are any results, just send someone to the nearest liaison office of Lin En Chamber of Commerce.

After Lin En finished speaking, he walked directly out.

He didn't believe that Duke Owen would refuse to sell.

Because Owen knows it in his heart.

The regime may really be overthrown. Once it is overthrown, the factory will belong to the new government.

"Wait!" Duke Owen shouted hurriedly.

If you don't sell it now, you may not get even one billion Baileys.

Lin En smiled slightly.

Nokigao prepared the transfer contract.

Since this year, Lin En has been signing contracts with them to buy factories everywhere.

Moreover, they are all purchased at extremely low prices!

It's like taking advantage of someone's misfortune!
