"Birthday is not to fall as a pirate ( to find the latest chapter!

"I have never sung to God."

"But today, here, in Lucy, who belongs to us, please allow me to praise him sincerely."

"He created this wonderful holiday for us. He delineated the beauty and kindness of the world for us. He made us understand the warmth of home. That's why we will travel across oceans and get together here."

"May the wealth and glory be with me forever, and I wish to sail smoothly on the sea, and may have no regrets in today, in the future, until we are called by our respective masters, and may not forget our youth."

"Young man..."

Lorraine raised his glass, everyone shouted in unison

"It's enough to have a future, what do you want money for!"

"To our future!"

"Respect our admiral!"

"Merry Christmas!"

"Merrychristmas!"

…

Under the elegant and brisk waltz, Carmen and her father danced on the dance floor.

Spain, who can sing and dance, has no shortage of moving dancers, not to mention the decathlon Carmen. Her dance steps have a scent of warmth and water, and her slender neck is like a swan, calm and flowing with the waves.

Under her intentional or unintentional guidance, even if her father's dance skills are not good, she still shines in the center of the dance floor.

With such an excellent opening, Karen and his younger sister, Acharin and Cecilia, Pierce and his younger cousin soon ended.

Madame Judea urged Bell to send a courageous invitation to Offie, and Offie reluctantly took it, and the two walked onto the dance floor together.

The skirt blooms and the flowers bloom.

Ramos came from Southampton and leaned against Lorraine with a smile.

"It is customary for the opening dance to be led by the master. You suddenly handed this task to Carmen, which seemed to scare Mr. Xavier."

"This is a family banquet and a reunion banquet. Although social inevitability is inevitable, I at least hope that it will not become the whole of Jin Wan. It is you..."

"What's wrong with me?"

"Clearly beautiful wife and two young children are by your side, why don't you come to me if you don't accompany them?"

"Uh..." Ramos was embarrassed. "My Mr. Chairman, you don't really think that Eddie and I traveled far across the Atlantic just to attend a fun banquet?"

"The annual meeting is three days later, and the daytime of that day is the time for work, settlement and budget."

"That's why I need your opinion. In addition to subordinates, you and Carmen are still my most trustworthy partners."

Lorraine shrugged: "It seems wrong to let her lead the dance."

"It's very wrong." Ramos smiled. "This year, Northwest Europe has added two briggs to run the ocean and four snacos to run offshore. The business has grown tremendously."

"At the end of the year, the profit was as high as 50,000 yuan. Of course, 10,000 yuan was lent to the Caribbean in the form of interest-free loans. I think you knew it a long time ago."

Lorraine tilted his head and thought for a while: "I thought it was 20,000, and I don't know or approve of non-interest."

"Left pocket and right pocket?"

"Left and right are only for the General Chamber of Commerce, and for your branch, they are two pockets."

"No wonder Eddie didn't approve of borrowing to Chuck Parker at that time." Ramos suddenly realized, "Close to the subject. I checked the inventory of all 14 terminals and prepaid orders, and prepared to leave 30% as a budget, and the rest All of them will be included in this year’s dividend."

"Forty thousand...70%...28,000..." Lorraine sipped the wine, frowned and groaned for a long time, "You know that there will be no dividends in the Caribbean this year, right?"

Ramos was a little surprised?: "The Caribbean is less than a year old, and Chuck Parker's business style is bold and risky. How can Ou Northwest act with reference to him? Directors... is it actually your fleet is level?"

Lorraine said that they would really look down on the eight or nine hundred pounds full of blood and sweat, but they could show it on their faces, just smile faintly.

"The boat is very united. Under the guidance of hope, one or two years of unpaid work is not a big deal for the elites. They have their own channels to make money."

"real?"

"What do you lie to do?" Lorraine seriously suggested, "I hope you will propose a non-dividend proposal, and then the money left can be handed over to Karen. He has a relationship with the shipyard and can help you book top high-speed covers. Lun fifth-tier ship."

"top notch?"

"12 knots, three and a half knots. New World's understanding of high-speed sailing ships is extraordinary. I think they will become the mainstream of armed merchant ships in the next thirty years."

"A fifth-class ship...and it's a high-speed fifth-class..." Ramos took a deep breath.

"It is of course not necessary for pure Northwest Europe. Even with the Baltic Sea or even the Mediterranean Sea, a fifth-class ship would not be a good choice."

"Because the density of warships there is too high, and the ocean is too small, no matter whether it's in troubled times or in peace, the mere five-tier ships cannot make our caravan safer."

Lorraine shook the glass, looking at the wine hanging on the wall, his expression blurred.

"But our tentacles have reached the New World, and we will go to Africa and Asia in the future."

"The main enemy of ocean trade is pirates, and destroyers are the nemesis of pirate ships. Having one or two high-speed Tier 5 ships in your fleet can help you effectively reduce trade losses and make your sailors more confident. Look, this is a profitable investment."

Ramos was very moved and struggled for a while: "One or two ships?"

"Let Karen arrange the stern, drive to Bridgetown and get the card, you directly bring the seamen to the New World to pick up the ship, return to Southampton and change into the elite sailor."

"But a destroyer is at least 25,000 just to build..."

"This is your problem." Lorraine toasted and touched Ramos. "You have added two briggs and four skuners this year. In terms of cost, it is almost the same as a destroyer."

"I have to discuss with Eddie, and then discuss with Karen together..." Ramos smacked, "By the way, how is the relationship between Carmen and Karen?"

"Probably better than Charin."

"A pair of old friends are like enemies?"

Lorraine couldn't laugh or cry: "Even Acharin and Karen are not enemies!"

"It's not the problem, it's not the problem." Ramos stomped his feet and looked irritable. "Damn it, do I need to prepare a gift for Karen!"

The old song was over, and the new song started again. Ramos was dragged into the dance floor by his frightened wife, and Karen, who had returned Yaomei, came up with Carmen and Wang, talking and laughing.

"What were the two presidents talking about just now?" Carmen asked.

"Mainly talked about two things." Lorraine organized the language. "One of them is about why you and Karen can't always establish a friendship."

Carmen covered his mouth and chuckled, "Because I saved him money and bought his beloved shipyard cheaply. What about the other one?"

"On how to normalize trade between clubs, including Northwest Europe, the Caribbean and Boston."

Karen's eyes lit up: "Boston can now enter the general trade system?"

"It's just a few more procedures. It's equivalent to smuggling ships. It's not a big problem in the lawless New World."

Nonsense, small talk, Lorraine sincerely praised Karen and Carmen's dancing skills, and stared at Wang with a bit of hatred for iron and steel.

"Wang, you don't want to dance at all? Like Dylan's eldest daughter Monica?"

Wang also sighed and suddenly changed to Chinese.

"Head, I'm homesick."

"Um?"

"You probably don't know that for foreigners to have a family reunion at Christmas, we also have our own new year, which is also a reunion. The lion dance and firecrackers are lively and lively..."

"What do you want to do?" Lorraine also changed to Chinese without realizing it, his face was not pretty, "Want to resign? Want to leave the team? At this time?"

Wang also froze for a while: "Where did you want to go..."

"Then what do you mean?"

"In Boston, don't those fellow villagers have their own community... They are planning to celebrate a New Year's Day, just before the end of January, I want to take a leave of absence and go see..."

Now it was Lorraine's turn to froze: "That's it?"

"Thousands of pounds a month... I'm crazy, please resign now!"

Good tm makes sense...

Lorraine looked at Wang Ye speechlessly, then looked at Karen and Carmen with curious faces, and hurriedly cleared his throat and switched to English.

"Karen, I wanted you to go to Boston in January. Looking at it now, the battle with Cotton Jack is about to start. I'm afraid I can't get out of it. If you go again, Catalina will lack rotation."

"I'm going to let the king go on the Cyclops, with the ship, with 60,000 pounds, part of the debt to the shipyard will be paid off, and the rest will be used for the construction of Valkyrie. If you have anything you want to explain these days, you can also entrust it to it. King too."

The topic was switched bluntly, and Karen reacted for a long time before asking, "Captain, have you already decided?"

"This is the result of comprehensive consideration. When I vacate my hands, if you want to go to the shipyard, I can take you off for three months."

"A word is settled?"

"You know I'm not lying." After Karen was dealt with, Lorraine turned his head to Wang Ya, "How about you? Are you competent?"

Wang was naturally overjoyed.

"I will definitely put the gold coins in the safe of the shipyard!" Wang also solemnly promised, "but... Captain, can I make another request?"

"what?"

"I want to recruit some Chinese sailors..."

"Are you serious?" Lorraine frowned into the word "Chuan", UU reading www.uukānshu.com "Don't forget, most of them have no sailing experience, and they cannot communicate normally with other sailors."

"I'm responsible for teaching them! Deck, sailing, kitchen, shooting and simple shooting, and language!"

Lorraine's brows still did not loosen: "I'll ask again, are you serious?"

Wang also sighed softly.

"Captain, there is a saying in the rivers and lakes, go out to rely on friends, save lives, and win the seventh-level float."

"That's two sentences."

"Uh... anyway, fellow villagers live like this, I can't stand it."

Seeing Wang Ye's earnest and expectant expression, Lorraine lowered his head and thought for a long time.

"First, before they pass the language pass and are approved by the foreman seaman, they are all considered as internships, and the annual income must not exceed ten pounds, and there is no pension."

"Secondly, because they boarded the ship from smuggling, they were only employed by the road signs before the smuggling ended. No matter how good they were, they were not allowed to sign a long-term contract. After the smuggling is over, they will enter the Chamber of Commerce for further disposal."

"Third, they can't know about us in any form. If they do, you will be responsible."

"Fourth, there are no more than 30 people, no older than 25, no physical and intellectual disabilities, and no grudges against each other."

"Fifth, everyone must at least learn English and have two entry positions."

"Sixth, after admission, you will redeem their deeds of sale at your own expense. If you have dependents, they can also redeem them, and you can temporarily help in the shipyard. As for the deeds of sale, it is up to you."

"If you promise these seven..."

"I promise!"

"Since you promised..." Lorraine shrugged indifferently, "Karen and Katerina will be responsible for the inspection."

"Yes!"
