The establishment process of the Caribbean Chapter can be said to have been smooth sailing.

　　 On March 6, 1779, the Caribbean branch with everything ready was officially established in Port Royal.

　　 Lorraine was invited to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony and presided over the first high-level meeting of the branch.

　　 At the meeting, Chuck Parker was determined to be the president of the Caribbean Chamber of Commerce, holding 10% of the shares, and at the same time serving as the chief executive officer of the branch's board of directors.

　　 Arthur Leonard owns 5% of the shares and is appointed as the vice president and second executive officer. Richard Cortrens is the admiral of the transshipment fleet and Tilby Olmert is the deputy admiral.

　　Barbados will establish the first exchange of the club within 15 days, with Streid as the representative in Bridgetown.

　　 In addition, Chuck also hired Kingston’s famous businessman Pislot from a high salary in a Portuguese chamber of commerce. He will be stationed in Southampton and will become the business representative of the Caribbean Branch in Northwest Europe and the third executive officer of the Board of Directors of Northwest Europe.

　　Similarly, Ramos will also select suitable people to enter the core management of the Caribbean branch after receiving the letter.

　　This kind of mutual dispatch is a relatively common management mode of the Intercontinental Chamber of Commerce. It not only facilitates the communication between the two branches in trade cooperation, but also effectively reduces the independence of the branches, mutual restraint, and mutual supervision.

　　 Interestingly, this suggestion was not made by Lorraine, but by Chuck.

　　 At the reception after the meeting, Lorraine and Chuck gathered in the locker room.

　　 Lorraine raised a toast inexplicably: "Chuck, you seem to be worried about being jealous of me."

　　 "I especially admire a sentence from the chairman."

"Oh?"

　　 "Young people, dreams are enough..."

　　 Speaking of this, Lorraine suddenly said, echoing in unison: "What do you want money for?"

　　 After speaking, the two looked at each other and laughed.

　　 "I really don't understand, why the Parker family would let you out as a business genius like you."

　　 "Because I don't want to do business for them." Chuck showed a disgusting expression. "The family's chamber of commerce is full of old-fashioned uncles and uncles. They are old-fashioned and have no adventurous spirit. I spurn them."

　　 "But before the end of the war, I will not risk opening up North American routes."

　　 "But the war is coming to an end. I believe you will not care about your majesty's sanctions on North America, nor will you block me from pursuing love with Miss Alves for the sake of the so-called aristocratic reputation?"

　　 "You should probably be born in France." Lorraine smiled and toasted, "Long live love."

　　 "Long live understanding."

　　……

　　 After the long launching ceremony of the Caribbean branch, Lorraine recalled the conversation with Chuck and boarded the carriage that returned to Lucy town overnight.

　　Trust is the cornerstone of cooperation between people, and he and Chuck happen to lack such a cornerstone. Before they arrived in Kingston, they had never heard of each other's names.

　　 But with this conversation, at least the first brick was built between the two, and the first woodland was dug up.

　　 Chuck told Lorraine that he planned to venture to Pennsylvania once the Chamber of Commerce stabilized.

　　 That Miss Alves lives there. He wants to tell her that he is out of control of the family. After that, whether it is elopement or communication to maintain the relationship, in short, it will no longer be in the current unclear state.

　　 Lorraine is very optimistic about their future.

　　 The love of this young couple started during the war. Sir Parker and Senator Alves obviously had a personal friendship that transcended political interests.

　　 Since the important elders of both sides support this relationship, it is not too unimaginable for them to enter the marriage hall after the war is over.

　　 Especially, Chuck has also got rid of his financial dependence on the family.

Whether it’s sensibility or planning, Lorraine has prepared Chuck’s backup means to leave the club at any time, and is willing to always entrust his Caribbean branch to him before he makes the decision to leave. It is his genius business acumen. Start and expand the scale of ocean trade of the Drake Chamber of Commerce.

　　 As for himself...Without the shackles of the Chamber of Commerce, he can finally take the risk.

　　 On March 7th, the horse-drawn carriage stopped in front of the seaside villa of Lucy Manor. Lorraine jumped out of the car and threw his umbrella to the maid waiting at the door.

　　 "Maca, unload the horses and take care of them. I will not use them again for a short time."

　　 "Yes, sir." The coachman responded in a low voice.

　　 Maca is one of the twelve Indian hires. He manages the horse farm in the manor and also works part-time as the coachman of Lorraine.

　　 Indians use Quechua, and their names are often full of meaning, such as "Maca", which translates to the war horse of the fortress, which sounds like a natural horse breeder. The maid waiting at the door to pick up Lorraine's umbrella was called Finlier, with the meaning of "lighthouse" and "hope" in her name.

After a short ten-day contact, Lorraine discovered that each of these Indian hires was acting honestly. I don’t know whether it is the centuries-old colonial history that has imprinted the concepts of race and class on these surviving natives, or the original. The owner chooses carefully and only accepts such a character.

　　 In short, thanks to the original owner's blessing, Lorraine used it very smoothly.

　　 Watching Maca drove the cart to the racecourse, Lorraine let Finlier take off his top hat, sweeping away the dust, and suddenly asked: "Finlier, I heard that you and Maca are lovers?"

　　Fenrir's face blushed to the base of his neck: "Yes, sir."

　　 "When do you plan to get married?"

　　 "This... it depends on what the husband said."

　　 "Listen to me?"

　　 Lorraine thought about it for a long time without knowing it, and when he saw Fenrir's redness and a vaguely sad expression, did he think of that **** Chu Yequan.

　　 His mood stinks for the most part: "I'm going out tomorrow. I'm in time for today. You can ask Pierce to revise the previous contract."

　　 "Modify..." Fenrir suddenly became frightened, "Sir, if you don't want us to marry, we can not get married! If you drive us away, we will soon be arrested by slave traders, we..."

　　 "What do you think, just remove the right of the first night. You are free people, you don't need such inhumane restraints, and you should freely decide the time of marriage."

　　 The little girl’s pupils really shined with hope: "Sir, what do you mean..."

"Only remove the right of first night, and the other terms remain unchanged~lightnovelpub.net~ This change should not make me a target of Lucy gentlemen, and you can clean yourself up in the future. One by one. Xi's, I look awkward."

　　 "Yes! Yes, sir!" Fenrir was helplessly holding Lorraine's accessories, "I... please forgive me to retire first, and I will wash my face now!"

　　 With Lorraine's permission, she hopped in the direction of the racecourse. Lorraine watched her leave, and happened to see Henna coming out of the room, looking suspiciously at Fenrir's back.

　　 "What did you tell her?"

　　 "Modify the contract and get rid of that stupid right of the first night."

"why?"

　　 "Because choosing who to be my bed partner should be my sacred and inviolable right. Haven't the gentlemen who have the brains of the worm ever thought that this so-called right actually violates their own human rights first?"

　　 Henna tilted her head and thought: "Your interpretation seems a bit strange."

　　 "Who cares, this is my manor anyway." Lorraine smiled and invited Henna to hold her arms, "When did you and Carmen come back?"

"yesterday."

　　 "Where did you go?"

　　 "I went to Cape France."

　　 "Cape France...Santo Domingo?" Lorraine asked in surprise, "Why are you going to the French colony?"

　　 "Smuggling is about to begin. Both Carmen and I feel that we need to prepare some small things for you. Kingston has many eyes and it's not appropriate."

　　 "Some shameless little things, you can't buy them in a small town that is not prosperous enough..." Lorraine laughed blankly, "That means, you don't plan to make me dress up, right?"

　　 "That's right, it's cross-dressing."

　　 Henna looked at Lorraine, the figure reflected in her emerald eyes, without a hint of joke.
