"What if we join now?" Jones asked, putting down his notebook, licking his slightly dry lips.
"Promoted directly to Level 2 members. We are both Level 2 members. After we join, we are all Level 1 members. As for the position of Level 3 members, they are determined by the club The charter of the club is gone." Yarlin knew what Jones Dao wanted to ask, and directly replied: "The most important task at this stage is to attract more members to join. When there are more members in the club, the membership rank and points system Only then will it truly have special value and meaning. This is a process of as the tide rises, the boat floats. To become the apex of the pyramid, we must first build the huge base of the pyramid by ourselves."
A few people glanced at each other, and then Moby Dick suddenly asked: "Did you not invite Ricky Captain this time?"
"Forgot to tell everyone a sad news, Ricky Captain is here to accept the invitation On the way, Battleship was attacked by Sea Beast and unfortunately died." Yarlin sighed, regretfully said: "Originally, Ricky Captain talked to me on the phone, and he has made it clear that he will join the Marine club this time. What a shame."
"..." Moby Dick's open mouth, facing Yarlin's indifferent eyes, shuddered in his heart and swallowed and spit: "It's so sad."
Is it such a coincidence to be attacked by Sea Beast!
Several Marine Captains glanced at each other, and then all looked away silently, Jones said deeply Yarlin, said solemnly: "Each Marine branch only allows one representative to join the club, then Marine 153 branch is you or Morgan Captain?"
"Morgan Captain has some discomfort recently!" Yarlin squinted his eyes, without the slightest fluctuation in his voice: "I will be the representative of 153 branch."
Jones Road closed the notebook, long exhales one breath saying, said solemnly: "I have no problem, our 127th branch joins the Marine Club."
"Marine 202nd branch also Join the Marine Club!" Moby Dick quickly echoed.
The other Captains invariably focused their attention on Yarlin, and then put the book in their hands into the pocket of their jacket. They had to go back and study the rules of the club.
"I'm glad we finally reached a consensus!" Yarlin patted his palm lightly, and Marine delivered the prepared drink in. Yarlin shook his red wine glass and said with a smile to everyone: "From now on We are both the founders of the Marine Club, respect each other!"
"Respect each other!" Everyone toasted, grinning on their faces.
"So, now we can talk about the first project of the Marine Club, or the first business." Yarlin pressed his palm on the edge of the table and moved the mechanism toward the next button. The "click" cracked and sunken in the middle, and at the same time a huge East Blue Sea Area Map appeared below.
The chart is divided into small blocks, which are marked by flags with numbers. That is the territory under the jurisdiction of each Marine branch. Yarlin leaned down and placed the chart in the lower left corner of the chart. A piece of outline is drawn with a black pen, and the continuous extension of black ink is like a monster stretching its tentacles gradually polluting a corner of the chart.
"153 branches, 65 branches, 16 branches, 26 branches, 127 branches, 195 branches, 202 branches….. The areas of our seven branches can be connected, that is, this palm- The place of size is the fish pond that our Marine club first included in the control." Yarlin held the black pen in his hand and looked at everyone for a while before saying: "We need to jointly develop and operate this fish pond. It's not the method of excessive expropriation, which is too low-level, but a more efficient way to grab the resources and wealth in the fish pond."
"Is the method of excessive expropriation too low-level?" Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay and his face was a little red, after all, they have always done this, Fubigan looked at Yarlin and asked with interest: "What is the other way?"
"Smuggling and monopoly!" Yarlin slammed his palm on the chart, and his voice was filled with strange bewilderment and conceit: "We are Marine. We control the sea. We are the most natural and legal smugglers. Think about those Merchants on the sea will be charged high tariffs by countries passing by. They need to be cautious about Pirate's looting, and even deal with Marine's exploits. However, they still tie their heads to their belts and go back and forth. What is the reason for going out to sea? It's because they can make amazing profits and put them in danger."
"Those cunning merchants cry poor every time, and I always feel softhearted. If I've been cheated, I should charge more for protection." Hu Qi bit the golden ring on his thumb vigorously, cursing fiercely with a fierce expression on his face.
Other people glanced at Hu Qi, and then looked towards Yarlin with a looking thoughtful expression. The meaning in Yarlin's words should not be as simple as exploiting the sea merchants.
"But what if we replace it with Marine? How many Pirate eaten a bear's heart and a leopard's gallbladder, dare to rob us? How many countries have the ability to detect the Battleship that enters the port and charge us Marine Tariffs fail?" Yarlin was a smuggling giant in his previous life. Naturally, he took a sip of red wine for all aspects of smuggling and continued: "Not to mention the maritime merchants, they are not qualified to cause us a little trouble. , You can say unceremoniously that as long as we Marine starts smuggling, the entire smuggling industry will be monopolized by us, and monopoly is the most profitable business in this world, and there is no one."
Ying Jinger The laughter of Yarlin, the scene outlined by Yarlin is so wonderful, the Captains are all moved, they seem to have smelled the smell of Beli from Yarlin's voice.
"Think about it carefully. Although we are wearing the coat of Marine, we can only control some islands that do not have a regime or a country. How much oil and water can these people have; and those who have It's hard for us to reach into the countries that have formed political power. These countries can give us some respect because of the name of Marine, but they may not be afraid of a trifling Marine branch. However, when we unite, we can control the monopoly on the sea. After smuggling." Yarlin opened his palm and held a virtual grip on the chart, as if slowly holding the entire East Blue palm in his hand: "We can push these countries, and even let them charge tariffs. Pass it on to us."
"Tobacco, alcohol, arms…all goods that can bring huge profits, we must completely monopolize the smuggling." Yarlin said: "I will establish a company, each Members who join the club will become shareholders of the company and at the same time expand our territory. Accordingly, according to the rank and contribution of the members, dividends will be returned every quarter. Of course, everyone here, we are each other's primordial shareholders of this company!"
Slightly novel vocabulary, but it makes people feel unclear, especially the grand blueprint outlined by Yarlin makes everyone's breathing gradually become quicker, if the initial addition has the elements of being threatened and intimidated , Then now it becomes urgent greed and ambition at work, and a strong subjective initiative is stimulated.
The first meeting lasted until late at night, and discussed the company's various details and articles of association. Unconsciously, the distance between everyone was shortened. Like a A small group bound by interests, and Yarlin naturally took the lead of the group.
At the end of the night meeting, when a group of Captains left, their faces were still excited, and they were close to each other when they said goodbye to Yarlin.
Yarlin watched a few Captains leave, staring faintly at the Marine flag that was raised and fluttering, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly to evoke a cold arc.
"What is the name of the company?" Kuro appeared silently behind Yarlin, like a shadow melted into the darkness.
"The Four Seas!" Yarlin turned his back to Kuro, gazing deeply at the night sky.
