On June 26, 1779, the tooth buyer Lucy Manor.

Lorraine was wearing a tuxedo, and smiling gently opened the curtains of the study.

Through the crystal clear French windows, he saw Bell and Offee, as well as the brilliant sunshine and lush green grass.

"Tsk tusk tusk, Lang Cai, female appearance, poetic sentiment, painting style, Bell finally mustered up the courage. He who musted up the courage... what kind of humiliation will he encounter?"

"McCarthy is hostile to him." Henna habitually stood in the darkest corner of the study, playing with her golden temples boredly. "Or, to be more precise, she is a decent person and treats everyone on the ship. Be alert. You chase Bell to pursue her, I can hardly imagine good results."

"No way." Lorraine made a nasty smile, "Ofi is an employee, young and beautiful, and the most troublesome thing is to be honest. It is very hard to suppress Yacharin to shoot her, but her character is doomed again. I can't treat her like Carmen or Noah, she will take it seriously."

"It's better to say that you will be frightened." Hina added, and immediately laughed, the laughter was like a bell, and the flowers trembling slightly.

Lorraine rolled his eyes helplessly, dropped the curtains and walked back to the desk: "Are you news on that line?"

This was said without beginning and end, but Henna took her head for granted.

After coming to the New World, Lorraine’s business gave birth to many dark sides, including the supervision of the two branch chambers, especially the Caribbean branch, chaired by Leonard, the New Orleans smuggling chaired by Carmen, and Catalina’s supervisor. Pirate intelligence.

These messages will flow to Lorraine through the branch’s commercial channels, but not through the branch. They used to flow directly into Pierce’s hands.

But as the expression of Pierce's values ​​became more and more obvious, Lorraine began to worry that being too close to the dark side would affect the healthy growth of the little guy.

After all, the impact of knowing, understanding and handling it by yourself is completely different.

So returning to Lucy this time, Lorraine directly used Pierce’s lack of schoolwork to force him a bunch of French, Spanish and Latin nautical materials, and asked him to interpret the voyage diary of the Earl of Gevodan based on these materials, and officially began. Learn about fleet command.

Little Pierce was busy, and he was so busy that he didn't touch the ground. Some insignificant pick-ups and deliveries would naturally be passed on to others. Specifically, Henna was the one who took over this stall.

Hina is Assassin. Assassin has a long history. She is best at dealing with the dark side of the business for her employers. Because of her professional expertise, even if it is the first time to deal with clerical work, she is still very familiar with it. Jerky.

Today was the first time she took the initiative to report to Lorraine.

Lorraine glanced at the clean desk: "What to drink?"

"Tea."

"It's not tea time yet."

"Milk tea is fine, no jam and snacks."

As always with the characteristics of Hina, Lorraine got up to make tea for her. The type of tea is not important. The key is milk and polysaccharides. This shows that taste education should start with a baby and the important value of preconceived.

When the tea was brewed, Hina took a sip and let out a cat-like moan with satisfaction.

"The first one is the news of the branch. Leonard was worried that we would leave Lucy, so he sent the briefing first. The detailed content is estimated to be delivered to McCarthy in a week or two."

“The colonial authorities of Britain, France and the Netherlands opened a joint talk at the Royal Bishop of San Heroinemo in Havana. The intermediaries were Spain, Portugal, and Denmark. As for the issues, the main content was the Caribbean post-war order, and it was clear that they would not involve North American issues.”

"In addition, the Le Francois tragedy was also the focus of the talks. The Earl of Gévaudan of the Defense Fleet, Sir Allende of Le Francois, and Lieutenant Colonel Nelson and Captain Leheed served as the night of the tragedy. Personal witnesses were asked to attend and speak on relevant topics. Leonard attached Chuck’s evaluation, saying that at the end of the talk, the Chamber of Commerce may also be invited."

Lorraine smiled and nodded: "The Chamber of Commerce will definitely be invited, but not as a representative of mercenaries, but as an enthusiastic businessman who cooperates with the Royal Navy in carrying out humanitarian assistance to accept thanks. This is related to the dignity of a powerful country. "

"But at that time we estimated that we had already gone to Amazon to find a crystal skull... We will have to leave a letter to Chuck in a while, asking him to attend on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce, and we would like to thank you for coming back."

Henna was noncommittal about the so-called skull, took two sips of tea, and began to tell the second thing.

"It's Leonard, about last month's club earnings report and this month's prediction."

"has a problem?"

Hina frowned and recalled for a moment: "Last month, the profit was 1,361 pounds, mainly because the ocean-going ships in Northwest Europe started navigating. Although not many, it also made the Caribbean's profits greatly improved. The extent of the impact on Northwest Europe was affected. Not as good as the Caribbean, 4866 pounds, an increase of 8% over the previous month."

Lorraine looked at Hina strangely and said the number: "Isn't it good for the clubs to be thriving?"

"The performance increase is of course good." Hina sulked off the remaining milk tea. "This month, Leonard judges that the Caribbean branch will have a major deficit because Chuck Parker has withdrawn a large amount of money."

"A lot of money?"

"The total amount is 15,000 pounds, of which 8,300 pounds were paid to Levi's Dockyard, and 3,900 pounds were paid to the Port Royal Naval Logistics Office. This is the cost of repairing the ship and there is no problem. But in addition, Parker also asked a man named Earl Way. The woodcarving artist in Sri Lanka paid 1,000 pounds, 1,500 pounds to the director of the port authority, Stanley, and 300 pounds for business banquets. Upon investigation, they were also related personnel of the port authority, and they did not post any accounts."

"Woodcarving artist and the Port Authority?" Lorraine touched his chin for a long time, then suddenly laughed bitterly, "I guess what he is going to do."

"what?"

"Modify the ship bow image, remove the hull number, mast number and other marks, if I guess right, he also intends to fabricate a batch of ship transaction records and complete the registration of the new ship at the same time."

Henna tilted her head at a loss: "The purpose of this?"

"Of course it is to turn those French warships into second-hand ships with a clear origin, and take the remarks in the actual combat report to sink, by the way, to prevent the occurrence of pragmatists who hold the right to trade in their hands and lack a gentleman's demeanor in Fort-de-France."

"Excessively?"

"It's not superfluous."

"Do you think it will be useful?"

"The known can cheat, the unknown doesn't care." Lorraine snorted disdainfully, "It's just a big country... Chuck's behavior provides a good excuse for Fort-de-France. The defense fleet was owned after the battle. The Halloween fleet of seven battleships was destroyed instead of being packed and carried away by a hundred light cannons."

Henna suddenly realized: "It sounds like a good favor."

"From a business perspective, it is naturally perfect, but..."

"but?"

"Chuck's business style has always been self-confidence, keenness, and decisiveness. This is very good, but sometimes it is too considerate of timing and cost-effectiveness, so that it is easy to put himself in a desperate position."

"Just like this time, including the Golden Deer, we brought back five ships, all of which are valuable ocean-going ships. Among them, the Golden Deer and Totem need to be overhauled, or Golden Deer and Andes need additional firepower."

"But the economic situation of the Caribbean branch is actually not good, because the establishment time is still short, the relationship between the lack of ships in the early stage, and the reserve fund have been tight."

"What's more, Chuck has never stopped its expansion. At this stage, the Caribbean branch is more like a big hollow frame, relying on Chuck's management skills to maintain profit and loss."

"So the problem comes." Lorraine drew a circle on the desk. "Last month, Ramos wrote to say that Chuck had borrowed 20,000 pounds from the Northwest Branch when communicating with the ocean, which shows his reserves. Money is already insufficient, at least compared to his development plan, cash has become a weak link of constraints."

"At this time, his safest method should be to put the new ship with low maintenance cost into operation first, and repair and replenish it in batches and times."

"But he wants to sell to me well, so he can't delay the Golden Deer; he doesn't want to miss the rare opportunity to sell to France, so he adds a lot of non-transactional expenses; the most troublesome thing is that he wants to open the Caribbean in one step. The club’s own ocean channel, as a result, even the repair of the Totem and the supply of the Andes had to be carried out simultaneously."

"Pound 15,000 is a huge sum of money for the current Caribbean branch, which is equivalent to squeezing his reserves again. The lack of cash means that the Chamber of Commerce loses its flexibility, stability and risk resistance will become weakened, and it will not be able to withstand a little storm. ."

Henna didn't understand this very much, but just by looking at Lorraine's expression, she knew that this matter was important.

"Are you planning to intervene?"

"It would be great if I could intervene." Lorraine said helplessly. "I promised him that he would only send someone to supervise the accounts and not intervene in the specific operations. Of course I can break the contract, but this has to risk Chuck's centrifugation. At this stage, the gains outweigh the losses."

“It’s a good way to prepare a part of the secret reserve in Leonard’s place, but it’s a pity that Chuck has no money and I don’t have any money. New Orleans and Le Lorraine’s investment turned into a boat in the end, and our cash ran out. Grams are only half a catty."

"Where is ancient gold?"

"Ancient gold ware needs to be converted into money in a specific time and environment. The Caribbean is not Europe. It is difficult to have a few auctions of sufficient size here a year, and we can participate in...probably not one."

"In other words, you are actually stumped by money?"

That expression ~lightnovelpub.net~The tone was clearly discussing serious matters, but Lorraine could clearly hear Hina's teasing.

He glared at Hina ferociously: "Hey, Niold's descendants will never have a helpless day! It's just... it's the end of June, when will the **** smuggling be ready?"

"Actually, the third thing I want to tell you..." Henna mischievously took out a private letter with a rose pattern from her arms, "Carmen's letter."

Lorraine's eyes lit up at once: "I'm ready to continue?"

"This batch of goods has been fully warehousing and counting three days ago. The letter arrived this morning. Carmen urged us to go there soon."

Lorraine almost cheered.

He was happy for a moment, thought for a moment, and then hesitated again.

Henna came over and hugged him gently: "Bell Judea?"

"Smuggling, fight against Shaq..." Lorraine leaned in Hina's arms and murmured, "Should I bring him?"
