Farming in Pirate World

The arrival of the dragon did not cause any disturbance, and Li Ming's life was still going on.

The next morning, Li Ming received news of price reductions and promotions from the three major chambers of commerce, but Li Ming didn't care.

They may have thought they were competing against Li Ming, but Li Ming didn't care about them.

If you manage your own internal affairs well, you have countless sales experience in your previous life. External forces can only eat dust behind your butt and are not worth mentioning at all.

Although Li Ming did not study sales, he lived in that era and was sold too many times.

Dealing with three local small chambers of commerce was like a dimensionality reduction attack. There was no challenge at all, it was just a matter of the length of time it took to deal with them.

However, in order to capture the market as quickly as possible, Li Ming still signed a contract with the mayor and directly reached a cooperative relationship with the old town of Roge Town.

The Liming Chamber of Commerce sponsored the production and made numerous road signs to guide the roads in Rogge Town, and then hung the Liming Chamber of Commerce logo.

Cooperating with retail stores in the old city, as long as you add the Liming Chamber of Commerce label on the sign, you can get a monthly rent of 10,000 beli.

Although prices in this world are very frivolous, ten thousand beli is not a small amount.

The interior of the new city tries to be as unified as possible in decoration style. The main colors are dim gray and bright yellow, symbolizing the sun before dawn. From the outside, it looks like a whole.

However, this is a big project, and the progress is still a bit slow, so we can only advance slowly.

In short, Li Ming used countless unexpected methods to quickly "occupy" the entire Rogge Town, including the commercial street in the old city, with the signboard of the Liming Chamber of Commerce.

Overnight, the entire Roge Town was hung with Li Ming's "Dawn Flag."

Of course, there are two areas that are inviolable: the naval branch and the execution platform.

However, Li Ming spent a lot of money to hang the dawn flag on the execution platform and the shops around the naval branch, so it had little impact.

Speaking of which, the shop can be said to be in a prime location. Even with such a large-scale discount from the Li Ming Chamber of Commerce, the business has not been greatly affected.

But most of these shops are under the names of the three major chambers of commerce, which really makes Li Ming very envious.

There is no market share in this world. Li Ming could only do his own research and make a rough calculation. In the market in Rogge Town, the Liming Chamber of Commerce probably accounts for about 70%.

The remaining 30% are some unshakable areas, such as arms. There are also the shortcomings of Liming Chamber of Commerce, daily necessities.

"The Doyles?"

"Yes, the Doyle family is a small business group that specializes in clothing and department stores in Rogue Town. However, the department store business is not very profitable. Do we need to win over Doyle because of this?"

Kelvin only had doubts and confusion on his face, but his Li Ming could still see his dissatisfaction.

"There are many markets in the East China Sea. Don't focus on this small area like Rogge Town. You, Kelvin, can't occupy such a big place."

"A qualified businessman should broaden his horizons and stop focusing on his own one-third of an acre of land."

There was no embarrassment on Kelvin's face, but an expression of being taught and moved. Li Ming also sighed, not knowing what to say.

"Then what are you going to do?"

"In business, as long as it's profitable, if you offer me an olive branch, I'm not afraid that he won't accept it."

"It can be summed up in three words: treat, behead, and accept as a dog."

Kelvin's face looked weird, and he always felt like he was talking about himself.

First he offers an olive branch, then he threatens and intimidates, and finally his subordinates act like dogs.

Isn't this your own template?

"Then let's treat first?"

"This matter is entirely left to you. You are familiar with this aspect of business, so you can handle it yourself."

"Boss, do I need to take Will with me?"

The expression on Kelvin's face changed instantly, with a look of surprise on his face. He didn't expect Li Ming to ask him to take charge of this matter, and even asked to take Will with him.

"For Will, forget it. You should take up his burden first and let him rest for a while."

Kelvin nodded, and the fat on his face was piled behind his ears with the corners of his cracked mouth.

He originally thought that Li Ming wanted the Doyle family to check him, but in the end he was promoted.

This wave feels comfortable.

"Well, Mr. Li, there are some people outside the door who want to see you."

As soon as the conversation between the two ended, Will stood outside the door and asked Li Ming with some embarrassment:

"Who? From the three major chambers of commerce?"

Will is now Li Ming's secretary and follows Li Ming at all times.

After a period of training, Will's abilities have grown rapidly. The identity of the person who can ask Will to inform him must be not simple, but Mark and other senior officials in the town have time arrangements and will not be at this time.

Come find yourself.

"It's not from those three chambers of commerce, but... you'd better see for yourself."

Outside the door, Bartolomeo wore his iconic green comb hair, a dark red ceremonial suit, and a crumpled yellow note in his hand. He stood uneasily outside the door, as if he had just married.

The yellow flower girl.

Not only him, but behind him, there were more than thirty strong men wearing ill-fitting suits, standing behind Bartolomeo with tangled expressions.

When Li Ming saw the iconic cockscomb head, he thought of who this person was.

In the original work, he is Luffy's number one fan, a user with barrier fruit abilities, the captain of the "Bator Club" pirate group, and the captain of the second division of the Straw Hat Fleet in the future.

Li Ming vaguely remembered that before this man went to sea, he seemed to be a gangster...the gang boss of Rogge Town?!

It was because the identity of a pirate was deeply ingrained in his mind that Li Ming only now remembered that Bartolomeo's origin seemed to be Rogge Town.

In other words, I hit him before?

"Are you here to seek revenge?"

In Li Ming's impression, Bartolomeo has a bohemian personality, but unexpectedly he attaches great importance to loyalty and is willing to go to any lengths for his partners.

The two people who beat him are still squatting in the police station and have not been released. Considering his character, it is entirely possible for them to seek revenge on him.

"But, it doesn't look like it."

Li Ming frowned, feeling that this situation did not seem like revenge, but rather like... applying for a job?

As soon as this idea came up, Li Ming strangled him to death in the flames.

Bartolomeo is ferocious and cruel. In the future, the crazy supernova who will be called "No. 1 in the real-time ranking of pirates who most want him to disappear" could be here to apply for a job. This idea is too naive.

"Senior Li Ming, ah no, Sir Li Ming, we are here to apply. Here are our resumes. Please make us your subordinates and use us as you please."

"Um?"

Li Ming looked at the more than thirty people in front of him, and his brain immediately shut down.

"What's going on?"

Li Ming looked at Will subconsciously. In terms of recruiting workers, Li Ming had always left it to Will.

"Don't look at me, I don't know either."

Will shrugged, indicating that he didn't know.
