Reborn As a Pirate

After rushing out of the sea of ​​fog on Hebasi Island, Lorraine kept thinking about the next countermeasures.

There are four things in front of him.

The first is the overhaul of the Pansies and Macaws.

The Macaw needs to replace the iron parts and sails of the whole ship. The core is the rivets of the hull and deck. If the whole ship needs to be dismantled. Replacing ship materials that cannot be reused and reassembling them is a huge workload

The Butterfly is in better condition, with about a third of her hull and a small portion of her plating in need of replacement, and a complete overhaul of her keel and ribs.

Considering quality, quantity, speed and efficiency, Keren gave up the seven private docks in Southampton and directly recommended the well-known Virea Dock in the Port of Sale to Lorraine.

The master craftsman there was an apprentice at the Devonport Dockyard with Keren back then. Although he was not a master, he was a brother who slept on the upper and lower bunks.

Karen was full of praise for the other party's character and skills, and patted his chest to assure Lorraine that as long as Lorraine chooses the Pirea Dock, the repair period of the Butterfly can be controlled within ten days, and the construction period of the Macaw will not be too long. more than forty days.

This time is only half of what Keren originally estimated.

The second thing is the status of the chamber of commerce.

During this trip to Hebashi, the Butterfly disappeared in front of people for nearly 20 days, and its life and death are unknown.

As the absolute controlling shareholder of the Chamber of Commerce, Lorraine is well aware of the fluctuations that his disappearance will cause.

People's hearts will be scattered.

After all, the history of the Drake Chamber of Commerce is too short, and the background is insufficient. At present, most of the trade permits, routes, and shipping capacity of the chamber of commerce are controlled by the three high-level executives of the Northwest Europe Branch, and Ramos, Eddie, and Carmen are just the spokespersons of the three partner families of the chamber of commerce...

Once his partners become greedy and take advantage of the chaos, his chamber of commerce is likely to be divided or divided.

Any situation will deal a huge blow to the chamber of commerce. Once it occurs, even if Lorraine can continue to change money, it will take at least half a year to restore the old situation.

It is imminent to return to Southampton to settle down.

In addition, there are the disposal of gold artifacts and the follow-up response to the Cantabrian battle. Although they are also important matters related to life and death and interests, before the future of the Chamber of Commerce is uncertain, it is a bit inappropriate to consider them anyway.

Where should the pansies and macaws be destined?

Plymouth? Or Southampton?

Lorraine finally decided to accept Keren's suggestion, and the fleet headed for the Virea Dock in the Port of Purcell, Plymouth.

Karen and Acharin will stay there to take care of the funeral affairs, while he, Pierce, Heina and Noah will rush to Southampton by land, splitting up into two groups to save time and cost to the greatest extent.

On the morning of October 22, the Butterfly sailed into the port of Sale.

Lorraine put on a tuxedo, leaned on an umbrella in one hand, and stood in front of the rented carriage with a suitcase in the other. Behind them were the three Henna in the same dress, saying goodbye to Karen and Yacharin who stayed behind.

"If everything goes well, Haina will pass on the news and follow-up arrangements to you as soon as possible. If anything goes wrong..." Lorraine frowned and shook her head, "That's my business, you just take the boat Fix it, Plymouth is up to Keren, don't worry about the money, I'll take care of it."

Karen and Yacharin nodded solemnly.

The two parties bid farewell, and the four of Lorraine got into the car one by one.

The coachman waiting aside wanted to take the suitcase from Lorraine's hand. Lorraine gently lifted the box, avoided it politely, and nodded to the coachman: "The inside is the relic of the ancestors, and it is the duty of the younger generation to do it yourself, thank you."

"Sir, you are welcome..."

The carriage started slowly, and Yacharin saw the shadow of the car disappearing at the corner of the pier, and asked worriedly, "Karen, do you think the captain will go well?"

"This is not something we should consider." Karen glanced at Acharin alienatedly,

"Go and rent two good rooms nearby, and the gold will be with me until the captain returns."

"Ok?"

...

Galloping all night, the carriage finally stopped at Herbert Walker Street, in front of the small red brick building belonging to the Drake General Chamber of Commerce. Lorraine walked into the foyer under the welcome of Miss Zhenna. Ramos and Carmen drinking morning tea.

"My deputy admiral and business supervisor actually stayed in the general chamber of commerce drinking morning tea in peace and security. Could it be that the business has been sluggish recently?"

bang!

Carmen's spoon smacked rudely on the bone china plate in front of her.

"President... you are finally back!"

Lorraine finally sorted out the current situation through the mouths of Ramos and Carmen.

Just as he expected, people in the chamber of commerce were panicked these few days and almost separated.

All the glory belongs to Villen Desai who is far away in the port of La Rochelle in France.

He returned to China with a high profile 14 days ago, that is, on October 9, and then he sang on various occasions. He sank the Butterfly, the whole ship aboard, and no one survived.

For him, making up such a lie may be just for the sake of his prestige and dignity, but for the Drake Chamber of Commerce, which lost its president, the lie almost caused a catastrophe.

Viscount Alfonso was the first to attack.

He proposed that the two shareholders of the General Chamber of Commerce died at the same time, and neither of them had any heirs, so the General Chamber of Commerce should be dissolved.

The independent Northwest Europe Branch can be jointly controlled by three shareholders and executives, or split into three semi-independent cooperative chambers of commerce, with independent financial rights and shared capacity and channels.

This proposal was strongly opposed by Carmen and Ramos, who were in Bilbao at the time, and the proposal eventually fell through.

Also because of this incident, Carmen and Viscount Alfonso had a big fight, and they completely broke up.

Viscount Alfonso sent a new spokesperson to replace Carmen that day, and Carmen obstinately returned the villa that Viscount Alfonso had gifted back then. Tablin route, back to the seat of the General Chamber of Commerce.

Events turned out to be farsighted in their decisions.

Viscount Alfonso began lobbying the other two partners.

Congressman Piddick was almost persuaded, and it was Ramos' earnest letter that made him withdraw the motion he had already sent.

The Norwegian side was not peaceful either, but it was not Sir Garman who was shaken, but Eddie, who was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Lorraine.

He made a special trip to the General Chamber of Commerce and discussed with Ramos and Carmen behind closed doors all night. He wanted to lead the Second Fleet to stand on his own. Ramos and him had a fierce quarrel and broke up unhappy.

Eddie returned to Stavanger with resentment and anger. Afterwards, in the name of worrying about Lorraine and not wanting to work, he announced that the Second Fleet would stop in Stavanger and suspend operations.

This is equivalent to putting on a posture, trying to force Ramos and Carmen to restart negotiations and accept his request.

That was six days ago.

Eddie's mutiny wiped out the army of the two loyal partners like a drudgery, and when they were at a loss for what to do, Lorraine came back.

Lorraine came back, Weilun's lies were unearthed, the crisis of the Chamber of Commerce was easily resolved, and everything... returned to the normal track.

Hearing this, Lorraine laughed lightly.

"I didn't expect Mr. Eddie Garman to be so impatient to negotiate? Then invite him over, I just want to talk to him."
