Farming in Pirate World

"The relationship between CP agents and the Navy is not good."

Li Ming pondered for a moment and recorded this information in his heart.

Although they are both violent organizations under the World Government, CP is directly under the World Government, and the Navy is more like an organization extended by the World Government. The two seem to be inseparable. Although there is no contradiction, they cannot be said to be closely connected.

.

Write it down first, maybe you can use it later.

After leaving the navy, Li Ming arrived at the edge of the red earth continent below Malicchioia in only about two days. After Bai Lian sent Li Ming onto the suspension bridge leading to Malicchioia, he drove away on a speedboat.

Already.

As a non-CP0 agent, in most cases, Bai Lian cannot step into the land of Marijoa.

Of course, Bai Lian himself does not know the existence of CP0, but he also abides by this rule.

After Li Ming found out, he bid farewell to Bai Lian for a long time, and stuffed Bai Lian with many "farewell gifts". Bai Lian then left with satisfaction.

From now on, Li Ming will still have a place where he can use his white face.

Looking at the giant platform behind him, Li Ming took a deep breath.

Next, Li Ming is about to set foot on the land of Marijoa, the political center of the world.

Marijoa is the world's most powerful "Five Old Stars" and the seat of the World Government. The kings of the countries that join the World Government come here every four years to hold a world conference. The residents here are the world's noble Celestial Dragons.

To go to Marijoa, they can only make a request to the World Government, and then the World Government will lower a huge lifting platform to take them to Marijoa.

Other than that, if you want to go to Marijoa, you can only choose to fly up.

The prerequisite is not to be beaten to death by the World Government's guards.

Applying for the lifting platform from the World Government is both time-consuming and costly. Fortunately, Li Ming was summoned by an internal official from the World Government, so he gave priority to the lifting platform and rode it for free.

Just this once, there will be no such good things in the future.

But even though it is expensive, there are already many people of all kinds standing on the lifting platform.

"Isn't this... Boss Li Ming of Liming Chamber of Commerce? Are you here to do something?"

Li Minggang had just boarded the huge elevator leading to Marijoa when he suddenly heard someone calling him.

Li Ming turned his head, looked at the person greeting him, and asked doubtfully:

"I am indeed Li Ming, but you are...?"

The person in front of me is not too short, probably about the same height as Li Ming himself.

However, compared with Li Ming's ordinary figure, this man has a strong figure. Under the black suit, the bulging muscles hold up the suit. You can vaguely see his strong muscles through the clothes, which makes Li Ming's eyes warm.

.

Moreover, behind this man stood six muscular men in leather suits, each of them more than two meters tall. They made this man look like a suit thug in a movie.

However, his appearance is a little worse. Although he is not ugly, he is still much uglier than himself.

"Tsk, there must be gains and losses."

Li Ming thought with some pity.

After quickly looking at the other person, Li Ming confirmed that he definitely did not recognize him.

Whether in comics or in this world, Li Ming had never seen this person before.

"Do you know me?"

The thug in a suit smiled heartily and apologized:

"Oh, I was so abrupt, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Ross Alexander, and I am a member of the Alexander Chamber of Commerce."

"You can just call me Alexander."

"It's true that you don't know me, but your name is very familiar to us."

As he spoke, Alexander stretched out his palm, which was as big as a leaf fan, in a gesture of shaking hands.

Seeing that the other party was so polite, Li Ming had no reason to refuse the other party's overtures, so he took advantage of the opportunity and took the other party's hand.

"really big."

Although the opponent was not very tall, Li Ming could not hold his hand.

Grasping the opponent's palm, Li Ming felt a strong sense of solidity and vicissitudes of life, as if he was holding the palm of a bear instead of a human hand.

Most of the rich people in this world are pampered. Even Kelvin, who lives in the East China Sea, often goes to sea with the fleet, but he still keeps himself fat and strong, looking like a fat man.

But the Alexander in front of him claimed that he was a member of the Chamber of Commerce, but Li Ming was more willing to believe that he was a gangster.

"Alexandria Chamber of Commerce?"

Li Ming was a little confused. He had never heard of this name.

"Our Alexander Chamber of Commerce is mainly located at the end of the Grand Route. The Chamber of Commerce is headquartered in the Chambord Islands. The business of the Dawn Chamber of Commerce has not yet extended here, so the name of the Alexandria Chamber of Commerce may be a bit unfamiliar to you."

Li Ming suddenly realized.

The core of Liming's merchants is far away in the East China Sea. After the sea route was opened, although it also extended to Dongdao, it did not go deep into the Great Sea Route.

After all, this voyage is too long and not suitable for transporting food at all.

In the daily necessities and luxury goods industry, many of them are not essential for life. If you want to extend your business, the cost is too great, and the gain outweighs the loss.

However, the core of the Dawn Chamber of Commerce is extending towards the interior of Alabasta. With the blessing of "good weather", Alabasta's environment is slowly changing, and its agricultural potential is absolutely huge.

Once the core of the Chamber of Commerce is transferred to Alabasta, Li Ming will have the ability to march towards the Chambord Islands.

"This is the legendary Mr. Li Ming? Who from the Liming Chamber of Commerce?!"

Li Minggang chatted with Alexander for a few words. When people on the side heard this, they asked in surprise:

"It has always been circulated in newspapers. I never expected to see Boss Li Ming on such an occasion."

As he said this, the man took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Li Ming with both hands:

"I am the manager of the Luoer Chamber of Commerce, and I am mainly engaged in the clothing business. If we have the opportunity, we must cooperate together."

Li Ming quickly took the business card handed over by this person and put it in his pocket.

After saying a few polite words to the manager of the Loar merchant, people gathered around him, marveling at Li Ming and handing him many business cards.

Li Ming greeted all these people with a smile.

The people who greeted Li Ming were all the persons in charge of certain merchants. At the very least, they were in a management position. Li Ming was not willing to offend him if it was not necessary.

After a while, Li Ming's pocket was filled with business cards. After a rough count, there were more than ten.

"Don't mind, we are just curious."

After the crowd dispersed, Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief. Facing so many people, even if he exchanged a few words, he was a little overwhelmed.

Alexander smiled and did not leave. Instead, he still stood beside Li Ming and chatted with Li Ming, as if he and Li Ming were very good friends.

"Why are you curious about me? Am I a big shot?"

Li Ming asked in a joking tone:

"Don't you know yet? Although the Liming Chamber of Commerce has not developed to this point, you can be considered a celebrity."

"Although we businessmen have a low status, we have a lot of money, so the news will circulate faster."

"Although we have never seen the Liming Chamber of Commerce, we often hear the name of the Liming Chamber of Commerce."

"In just half a year, it has become one of the largest chambers of commerce in the entire East China Sea, and has even extended its business to the Great Sea Route. It is truly an amazing achievement."

Alexander gave a thumbs up and really admired Li Ming.

But Li Ming was shocked. These businessmen's ears were so sharp?!

You know, Li Ming has a total of three strongholds on the Grand Route.

The first stronghold, Winter Island, Ciggu Country.

But this stronghold is kept secret. The Ciggu Kingdom is still nominally controlled by "King Wapol". Due to the internal policies of the Ciggu Kingdom over the years, few outsiders know that Wapol is dead.

The second stronghold, Sky Island, Sky Holy Land.

Sky Island itself is a very broad concept. There are many islands in the sky, enough for people to sail in the sky all the way from the North Sea to the middle of the first half of the Grand Route.

Li Ming only occupied a "Holy Land in the Sky".

It is impossible for these merchants to know about this stronghold.

The third place, where the commotion is bigger, is the desert kingdom of Alabasta.

Of course, with Li Ming's presence, it won't be long before Alabasta will be renamed the Oasis Kingdom.

In Alabasta, Li Ming was causing quite a stir, and it was impossible to hide the existence of the Dawn Chamber of Commerce.

However, just after beheading the sand crocodile in Alabasta, and before the basic framework of the Dawn Chamber of Commerce was established, Li Ming was brought here by CP agents, taking the fastest "speedboat" all the way, and even taking a

It is a shortcut to avoid the annular current within the World Government.

Along the way, even including the five days of waiting at Judiciary Island, the entire voyage only took about a month.

So far, there should be no faster sailing speed than this in the world.

Even so, has the news about Dawn Chamber of Commerce already reached here?

From Alexander's few words, Li Ming could imagine that these businessmen, who were rarely depicted in comics, were definitely an extremely terrifying force.

I underestimated this world's heroes.

"There are no achievements at all. They are just rumors. I am just lucky, so I can barely make a living."

Although there were countless shocks in his heart, Li Ming still calmly said to Alexander politely:

"Compared to you, my business is nothing."

For people like Li Ming, observing words and emotions is the most basic ability.

The group of people who gathered around Li Ming to hand over business cards before, even though they were extremely enthusiastic about Li Ming's attitude, would always exchange a few words with Alexander to express their closeness to Alexander.

These businessmen may have conflicts with each other, but without exception, they all have a good impression or respect for Alexander.

What's more, part of these people's enthusiasm for Li Ming comes from this Alexander.

Because Alexander took the initiative to greet him, these people took the initiative to show their kindness.

Li Ming's words seemed to be polite, but in fact he was asking what kind of business the other party did.

After all, Alexander knew everything about the situation of Liming Chamber of Commerce, but Li Ming knew nothing about the situation of Alexander's merchants.

"You are too humble. Our Alexandria Chamber of Commerce is just doing some slave business. Because we accidentally caught a fishman, we were lucky enough to be appreciated by Lord Tianlong, and that's how we reached today's scale."

Alexander said politely:

"Compared to people like you who are truly self-made, we are far behind."

Alexander heard Li Ming's temptation, but he didn't mind it. Instead, he told Li Ming the information openly.

Anyway, as long as you collect it carefully, this information is not a secret. On the contrary, it is something everyone knows. There is no need to deliberately hide anything.

Li Ming suddenly realized.

He turned out to be a businessman in the slave business. No wonder he looked so strong and strong, with a hint of the aura of a superior person.

"Although I often see news about Liming Chamber of Commerce in newspapers, this is the first time I have seen it in person. If possible in the future, our Alexandria Chamber of Commerce will be happy to cooperate with you."

With that said, Alexander also took out a business card from his arms and handed it into Li Ming's hands.

Different from other business cards, this business card is made of pure gold. It is the size of a playing card and half a millimeter thick. It is very heavy in the hand and weighs at least fifty grams.

The production cost of this business card alone should be nearly 100,000 berries.

After all, there is no specialized technology in this world that can make business cards as thin as wings.

The gold used in making this business card is of sufficient quality and quantity.

"If Liming Chamber of Commerce expands its business to the Shampoo Islands, please be sure to contact me. I believe our cooperation will be very pleasant."

"sure."

Li Ming nodded quickly, it was business. How could Li Ming refuse such a good thing?

But Li Ming also understood why a person like Alexander would take the initiative to show his kindness.

Those who engage in the slave trade only have human beings under their control.

Arresting, escorting, and guarding all require people.

Without exception, these people must be physically strong and have huge appetites.

With so many subordinates eating horse chews every day, the cost is not a small amount.

Moreover, these slaves under him are also human beings, and they also need to eat before they are sold.

It doesn't matter what low-level slaves eat, as long as they can keep their breath. But some high-quality slaves, in order to maintain their complexion and condition, eat even more exquisite food than many free people, so that they can sell one Come at a good price.

Due to the blessing of the system, the grain of the Dawn Chamber of Commerce has high yield, good quality, and the price is half a percent lower than the market price. It is the best choice for Alexander to cooperate with.

Including those businessmen who greeted Li Ming before, the reason why they are so enthusiastic about Li Ming is not that the Liming Chamber of Commerce is really strong enough, but because the Liming Chamber of Commerce is mainly engaged in the grain business.

Food is a consumable and a necessity, and no one can refuse it.

With Alexander's promise, the Dawn Chamber of Commerce's attack on the Chambord Islands was stabilized.

Thinking of this, Li Ming glanced at Alexander, who happened to also look over.

The two looked at each other and said nothing.
