Reborn As a Pirate

As a newcomer who has been in the limelight for the past two years, the trading location of the Drake Business Group in Elgin is at 4 Immel Street.

There is the cross alley of Fanhua Street, only 100 meters away from the small theater where the auction will be held. Standing outside the door of the small theater, you can see at a glance the huge signboard made of teak wood, pointing to the small building with red bricks and black tiles, full of style.

The small building has three floors.

Entering the first floor is the trading hall. The exhibits in the glass cabinets change according to the inventory. At the moment, the swords and furs of Northern Europe and the cocoa and tobacco leaves of the New World are being displayed.

The general rule of the trading house is to clear the small batch of transactions on the spot, and go to the reception room at the back for large batches or reservations to further negotiate the details of the transaction.

The same goes for Drake Trading House.

The second floor is the dormitory for seafarers

There are two suites on the second floor, Henna on the left, Noya on the right, and Lorraine's office and bedroom on the third floor.

Pierce and Keren don't live in the building.

At the back of the building is the warehouse of the business group and an independent subordinate building, where the two boys live.

The subordinate building has a large yard, which is not only convenient for Pierce to practice fighting and physical fitness, but also suitable for Karen's occasional large handicrafts and daily design drawings.

Such an environment cannot be called relaxed.

In fairness, Lorraine has indeed made a lot of money in the past two years. But the business group is far from rich enough to separate the public from the private, and staying at the exchange is also based on the principle of saving what you can.

After all, the business group was first established, and everyone's rotation is not too much.

Pierce strode into the exchange. The little child had no virginity on his face, frowning like a teenager who had just encountered emotional problems.

The young clerk ran up with a smile: "Vice President..."

"Zenna, where is brother?"

"Mr. Drake? He's meeting guests in the drawing room..."

"Reception room... I'll go find him!"

Ignoring the embarrassment on Miss Zhenna's face, Pierce hastily pushed the door open and yelled as soon as he entered, "Brother..."

The four people who were chatting raised their heads together, three were surprised and one was dissatisfied.

The one who was dissatisfied was naturally Lorraine.

Eighteen-year-old Lorraine is taller than two years ago, basically as tall as Keren Qi, and the height has slowed down in the past two years, and the well-proportioned muscles have finally begun to show dots, and they look a little bigger, at least not It will give people a feeling of weight loss again.

This also makes him extraordinarily dignified when he is dissatisfied.

"Pierce Artis..."

Pierce's heart skipped a beat, and he cried out that it was going to be bad.

"What is required of a gentleman in England?"

"Always calm, always calm, always confident, sir!"

"Look at yourself..." Lorraine looked at him with a sullen face, and said every word, "Go and tidy up, this will be very important."

"Eh? Yes!"

Little Pierce ran away in desperation, and ran back to the subordinate building as fast as he could, took a bath for himself, and changed into a full set of dresses, including shirts, vests, bow ties, trousers, leather shoes, and a tuxedo.

Because his age is not even considered a teenager, his shirt still has lace, and the cuffs have to be creased and smoothed out one by one, so as not to look frivolous.

If it's frivolous, wouldn't it be good to get rid of the lace!

He murmured in his heart, without any complaints on his face. After dressing up, he returned to the living room and called softly: "Sir, I'm ready."

"Enter."

Pierce gently opened the door, crossed the crowd and sat down on the small stool behind Lorraine, sitting upright.

There were four other people in the room besides him.

Needless to say, Lorraine, who has just begun to look majestic, and Ramos, the agent of Mr. Piddick in Port Elgin, and Eddie, the agent of Sir Garman in Stavanger.

The only lady in the room, Pierce, had never been seen before. She had dark hair, dark eyes, and deep-set eyes. She seemed to be a Castilian with some Moorish blood, that is, a Spaniard.

She was very young, probably in her twenties. She was wearing a bright red dress, revealing a large area of ​​snowy skin on her chest and arms. She was beautiful, sexy, generous and moving.

Lorraine tapped the back of the sofa lightly: "Miss Xavier met Pierce for the first time, let me introduce you."

"Pierce Artis, shareholder and vice president of the Drake Merchant Group, my seafarer intern, and the owner of the Artis Beauty."

"Carmen Xavier, Viscount Alfonso's agent, is also our partner in Bermeo. She is very capable, and within eight months of her employment, the profits of the Bermeo line have increased by 30%."

Pierce hurriedly stood up and saluted Carmen. For some reason, he always felt that he had heard of this name somewhere...

Two years is too long, so long that Pierce can't remember that country cousin at all.

Two years ago, Carmen followed in the footsteps of love and moved into the Viscount's manor.

She cared about her status and insisted on being holy before marriage, but the Viscountess only wanted her belly, expressly and implicitly forcing her to become the Viscount's mistress.

She was exhausted physically and mentally, and chose to show her cards to the Viscount. As a result, the viscount only wanted to hug left and right, and sneered at Carmen's expectations.

The two sides have conflicts, and the road of love has come to an end.

After all, this long and fruitless love lasted five years.

Either because of guilt, or because of the long-term relationship that built trust between her and the Viscount.

In short, she transformed herself and became an employee of Lorraine as the agent of the Viscount. Since eight months ago, she officially took over all the business of the business group in Spain, and she also showed unparalleled business talent and communication talent.

Carmen Xavier has now become the most beautiful flower that everyone in the upper class of Bilbao admires but can't dream of.

Pierce didn't remember her, and Lorraine didn't intend to mention the hurtful past, but just continued.

"Pierce is a shareholder of the business group. He was away at sea. I didn't expect him to come back. Now that he has caught up, I suggest that he also participate in this discussion."

His inquiring eyes swept across the three partners, and all three of them graciously agreed.

Feeling the formality of this meeting, Pierce said awkwardly: "Brother, I can't help you much... I may not even be able to understand..."

"Just listen." Lorraine comforted him softly, "This is also part of the internship. Don't forget that you are not only a sailor, but also a businessman."

Pierce nodded heavily.

Straightening out Pierce's qualifications, Lorraine crossed his fingers.

"Briefly pick up what we talked about earlier, so that Pierce can figure it out." He said, "After two years and one month of development, the current assets of the Drake Merchant Group are 11,800 pounds, and there are three other trading houses. The four ships are the Artis Beauty, the Beverly Merchant, the Cavill Drunk, and the Northrend Knight."

"In the last year, the average monthly trade volume of the business group was 2,900 pounds, and the profit was 1,600 pounds. After three-thirds of the profit, the business group earned 1,120 pounds."

"And because of Miss Xavier's outstanding performance, we have greatly improved the product category and quality, and have established trade relations with several authentic chambers of commerce."

"On top of that, six months ago Mr Piddick ran for Moray County Council and we offered him a political contribution of £2,000, which was paid off handsomely because he was successful."

Having said that, Lorraine took a deep breath.

"Half a month ago, I went to London and obtained all the requirements for registering a formal chamber of commerce in England."

"One, a formal written application to the trade association; two, a security deposit of 1,000 pounds; three, no less than three recommendations of gentlemen; four, three recommendations of chambers of commerce with trading rights in England."

"I will write the application. We also have the money. I have already got the recommendation from the chamber of commerce. As for the recommendation from the gentleman, Mr. Piddick has won two for us from his congressman friend, and he can write one himself."

"The conditions for Drake to establish a chamber of commerce have been met, so I am ready to formally register in England and establish a chamber of commerce!"
