Reborn As a Pirate

　　 Three days later, Eddie stepped into the gate of the General Chamber of Commerce with a sense of anxiety.

　　 He thought that what was waiting for him would be a cold criticism and a blunt dismissal notice, but there was nothing.

　　 Neither enthusiasm nor coldness, Lorraine did not even see him alone, and directly took Pierce and three high-level executives to the office and directly launched the official board of directors of the Northwest Branch.

　　 While Miss Zhenna was busy preparing meeting materials, Lorraine took them to the lounge to drink tea.

"Reminiscent, it was extremely thrilling." Lorraine smiled and talked about the chase with the Reindeer. Cantabrian chased all the way to the western edge of the Celtic Sea, desperately we were approached into a foggy area..."

　　The ghost ship, the reef zone, the terroir of Heba, as well as the remains of long boats, sea cave exploration, one after another thrilling expeditions were uttered by Lorraine, and they couldn't calm their minds after hearing them exclaim again and again.

　　 "Fortunately, there are many faiths on the ship, and the gods all over the sky are willing to take care of us. We not only survived, but we also found the treasure of my ancestor, Inge. Annason, and harvested some small souvenirs."

　　 He clapped his hands, and Noah walked in from outside, carrying three small boxes to Lorraine.

　　 Lorraine opened one of them, took a look, and walked to Ramos.

"Ramos Piedik, my friend. This is Tiratia, the golden sword of the Roman Guards. In history, it belongs only to the most respected friend of the head of state. The Guards made the Roman Empire a cross between Europe, Asia and Africa. The long and prosperous legend."

　　 Ramos solemnly took it, and took out a broad golden sword half-arm length inlaid with gems from the box.

　　 The name of this sword is Tiratia.

　　 In the 1st century BC, Octavian gave this sword to his most trusted guard and created the most fierce and prestigious Janitor in Roman military history.

　　 People often only remember the repeated assassinations of the emperor by the Janissaries after becoming an independent political force, but subconsciously ignored their contribution to Rome.

It was precisely with this powerful army that defended the royal power with victorious battles, Rome was able to become a great power that established European civilization at its strongest time, and the most glorious representative of this period was bestowed by Octavian. Golden sword, Tiratia.

　　 Ramos glanced at Lorraine gratefully.

　　 This golden sword is a priceless treasure, and it is far more than a priceless treasure, because it represents trust.

　　 Lorraine smiled and patted him on the shoulder, then picked up the second box, opened it, and handed it to Eddie.

　　 "Eddie Garman, my partner. This golden pot is carved with the gathering of Octavian, Anthony and Lepida. Their intimacy has allowed Rome to grow and grow, just like you and me."

　　 Eddie stared at the little gold pot in the box.

　　 The age and value of this pot are not inferior to the golden sword obtained by Ramos, and even the meaning is not inferior.

　　 Octavian, Anthony and Lepida are the iron triangles of the Roman political arena in the post-Caesar era. They are intimate and powerful.

　　 They laid the foundation for Octavian's establishment of the head of state, and acted as a catalyst to destroy the Republic, and Octavian established the Roman Empire on the political ruins of the Republic.

　　The problem is... Octavian was able to establish the Roman Empire precisely because he parted ways with Antony and Lepida and eventually killed them.

　　 This friendship only made Octavian one person, and the other two all turned the dust away.

　　 Eddie tremblingly took out the golden pot, hugged it in his arms, and said, "Thank you."

　　 Lorraine slapped Ramos on his shoulder: "I don't like the ending of Octavian, I don't like it at all."

"I dont like it either."

　　 Eddie sat down slowly, wondering whether it was Anthony's ending or Leipida's he didn't like.

　　 Lorraine picked up the last box and walked straight to Carmen before opening it.

　　 "Carmen Xavier, I was in an accident, but you became the one who suffered the most. Your loyalty and kindness I do not repay, I only hope that this set of gold jewelry will add luster to you."

　　 Lorraine took out the gorgeous necklace from the box and put it on Carmen's slender neck.

　　 "It's a pity that I don't know enough about gorgeous jewelry, and it doesn't tell me what it is called. I only found a sentence on it and gave it to Cleopatra."

　　 Cleopatra, Cleopatra VII, the last queen of the Ptolemaic dynasty, lover of Caesar and Anthony.

　　 Carmen stroked the necklace on her chest in surprise, wanting to see the meaning of Lorraine's gift from Lorraine's brown eyes.

　　 But she can't see anything.

　　 Lorraine asked her to sit down and said: "Freedom is a wonderful thing. You can seriously consider the future. No matter what the result is, please tell me."

　　 "I want to get on the boat." Carmen blushed and said softly.

　　 "Get on the boat?"

Carmen nodded: "I know, I don't know anything about HNA. But you are a businessman and a nobleman. You need a good person to accompany you on a long voyage and take care of your communication and friendship on land. These are just mine. Strengths."

　　 Lorraine pondered for a moment: "Have you considered it clearly?"

"Yes, I have considered for many days." Carmen solemnly said, "This land makes me tired, not only love, but even family and friendship are so fragile. After listening to your adventures at sea, I finally know that I want to It’s the rope-like tough fetters on the ship. I don’t regret it."

　　 Lorraine smiled sincerely: "I really need an excellent social adviser on my boat, Miss Carmen Xavier, you have been admitted."

　　...

　　 With this gift as a front stop, the subsequent branch board of directors went very smoothly.

　　 In order to prevent this turmoil from happening again, and also for the future development of the Chamber of Commerce, Lorraine completely reorganized the structure of the branch.

　　In terms of equity, Carmen withdrew from the stock and took the initiative to transfer all his shares to Ramos, so that the ratio of Ramos and Eddie’s equity reached two to one.

In terms of position, Lorraine stepped down as the club president and admiral, and Ramos was clearly succeeded as the absolute person in charge of the Northwest Europe Branch. Eddie was the vice president, no longer in charge of the fleet, and instead engaged in trading licenses. And the administrative affairs of the port exchanges.

　　 Eddie knew that his actions had lost Lorraine's trust, so he could only helplessly and gratefully accept Lorraine's appointment.

On the 　　 fleet, Lorraine set up a fleet directly under the General Chamber of Commerce. He identified himself as the admiral, the flagship Pansy, and belonged to the ship Timothy and Clover.

　　 Northwest Europe Branch only retains a trading fleet and a British transshipment fleet.

　　The flagship Macaw of the Trade Fleet, Admiral Ramos, is owned by three Kirk-type cargo ships, the Beverly Merchant, the Northrend Knight, and the Cavill Drunkard.

　　 The establishment of the transshipment fleet remains unchanged. The flagship Siren, Admiral Carlo Merlin, and the subordinate ship are the Mermaid of the Hunfan Skuna type.

　　 The property rights of the Attis Beauty with special significance are returned to Pierce. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is sealed and maintained in the dry dock rented by the Chamber of Commerce, and will not be used for the time being.

　　 After these basic operations were over, Lorraine proposed several general chamber of commerce affairs, all of which cost money.

　　 1. Prepare 6,500 pounds for the sailor’s adventure bonus, and arrange for someone to transfer the remains and inheritance of the dead to the heirs. This matter is related to the prestige of the Chamber of Commerce.

　　 Second, the firepower configuration of the clover, the preparation funds to pay for the repair needs of the butterfly flower and the macaw, this matter is related to the combat power and transportation capacity of the chamber of commerce.

　　3. Eddie is responsible for the negotiations with Viscount Alfonso to clear the power, taking advantage of the temporary trade depression in Spain to repurchase the partner’s share at an appropriate price. Carmen is responsible for selecting new partners in Spain, and Ramos is responsible for specific negotiations.

Carmen, who has officially become a staff officer of Lorraine, said with concern: "Captain, according to your request, the General Chamber of Commerce will raise nearly 18,000 pounds in cash within a month. Even if the reserve fund is emptied, our shortfall will exceed Six thousand pounds, is it to slow down?"

　　 "Preparing funds is your first task, Carmen." Lorraine nodded to Noya, and Noya immediately walked in with a big suitcase and opened it on the conference table.

　　 A box full of ancient gold wares!

"Eight pieces of gold, sixty coins, and a total weight of nine hundred pounds. Carmen, you are responsible for finding suitable auction houses for them. Throw away ancient gold wares to raise enough funds for the Chamber of Commerce and prepare for the economic depression that will last for an unknown period of time..."

　　 Lorraine took a deep breath: "The Mindel Chamber of Commerce still owes me an invitation letter from the trade association. It's time to find some allies... and get the place back."
