Pirate's Plant Fruit

Chapter 486 Eugenie

Grandet's gaze turned to a man in a blue suit again. This man's brows were still a bit majestic.

"President, what's the status of the shipping company?" Grandet asked.

Magic Valley City is a bustling transit port city.

The natural shipping industry is very developed.

Whether it is transporting people or transporting goods, ships are needed.

Grandet also purchased and annexed some merchant ships, forming a shipping company with dozens of large merchant ships.

This imposing man in a blue suit is the chairman of the shipping company.

The chairman said very straightly: "Now the Magic Valley Shipping Company has a total of 75 large merchant ships. Now it can carry out long-distance transportation on great routes and even the four seas. However, there has been a new business recently. That is Alabasta after the war. Alabasta is now in a state of waste, and needs to import some production and living commodities. So I am planning to transport a large amount of production materials such as machinery, steel, alloys, and chemical agents, as well as textiles, fur, food, and other daily necessities to Alabasta. In this way You can definitely make a lot of money.”

Hearing this, Grandet applauded.

"Okay, Alabasta was devastated by a huge civil war. It will be peacefully rebuilt for a long time afterwards. So reselling these commodities quickly will definitely make us a lot of money. And we have a large fleet, and the cost of cluster transportation is lower , it will definitely be easier to get customers in Alabasta. At that time, profits will continue to come in. So you have done a good job, President. But it is better to reduce the business to other regions. Because Alabasta can be quite a period of time now. Time offers great profit." Grandet said with bright eyes.

As he talked, he stood up from his chair.

For Grandet, who was born as a businessman, money is everything.

Business opportunities mean happiness.

But at this time, the obese bank president asked: "But, Mayor Grandet. According to various sources, Alabasta is currently short of cash. How can the other party pay us?"

Mayor Grandet looked at him with a look of complacency on his face.

"Don't worry about this. Alabasta is an ancient civilization with thousands of years of history. There are many priceless antiques there. Even if the other party doesn't have enough cash, there are antiques to offset it. Alabasta is the largest exporter of antiques in the world. Now that the Civil War has been devastated, more money is needed, so they will sell more high value antiques. So we buy antiques of amazing value, and then sell them on the market. Countless Bailey!" Mayor Grandet said excitedly.

"So that's the case, Mayor Grandet is really smart." The fat president said.

Grandet said to the president again: "By the way, there are antique appraisal experts in the bank you have. Assign them to the shipping company for use."

"Yes, I'm going to do it quickly," said the obese governor.

Mayor Grandet's face changed from pale and annoyed to now rosy and full of energy.

This is the power of money.

Just as Grandet's face was glowing red, a female voice suddenly sounded.

"Father!"

Grandet was stunned for a moment.

The faces of these four confidantes also changed slightly.

Then the door of the room was pushed open.

A beautiful brown-haired beauty in a light blue neat dress walked in.

The four dignitaries present looked at her and couldn't help but want to swallow their saliva, but they themselves were not short of beautiful women on weekdays.And more importantly, this girl is the daughter of Mayor Grandet.

Grandet's face immediately became a little ugly, and he looked at the lively daughter.

"Father, why are you so worried?" She said in front of Grandet.

Grandet said helplessly, "Eugenie, you won't cause me some trouble again, will you?"

Eugenie's eyes were full of strangeness, and she said, "Father, how could I make trouble for you? I just sold your private collection of famous paintings to a traveling merchant today, and got 50 Baileys."

Grandet was trembling with anger, and said, "Which famous painting are you selling? It can't be the omnipotent holy tree?"

Eugenie said naturally, "It's that famous painting."

Grandet fell down in anger, then stood up again.

He said painfully: "I collected it with great difficulty. It is worth at least 300 million Baileys when it is resold."

Eugenie pursed her lips, as if she had made a mistake, and said, "It can't be helped, it's a loss. However, I used the 50 Baileys I got to do good deeds. By the way, I live in the old city No one sent [-] Baileys to help them. The remaining [-] is my pocket money. After all, I will help you do good deeds and win the hearts of the people."

Grandet trembled with anger.

"You you. You. Money. Money. Money. My life!"

Eugenie hastily picked up the water glass from Grandet's table and stuffed it into her father's mouth.

"Father, you need to drink plenty of water to avoid poor health." Eugenie said with concern.

Grandet was given a few sips of water, and then gasped.

He looked at Eugenie and said with an ugly face: "I told you. Those who failed by themselves deserve what they deserve. I have no obligation to save them."

Eugenie was also a little unhappy, and said: "But father, you are not only a businessman, but also the mayor of this city. Isn't it what you should do to do something for those who are suffering?"

Grandet said: "No, those guys can't do it themselves. To deal with that kind of people and the people in this city, you only need to firmly grasp the armed forces and the lifeline of the economy here. Otherwise, everything about me will be taken by them. It was taken under various names."

Eugenie looked very disappointed, and said: "Father, people's hearts are the most important thing. And you have done so many things that are strictly speaking bad things for a long time. Can't I help you do something better?"

Grandet said sternly: "No! You are absolutely not allowed to continue doing this!"

Eugenie also waved her hand, and said, "Anyway, I'm your daughter. My father has done something wrong, and I have the right to correct it."

After all, Eugenie still walked out from here very generously.

Grandet was so angry that he slapped the table straight, and he finally sat down on the chair helplessly.

The four people, including the fat bank president, looked at Grandet in embarrassment.

Although Grandet has the money and power of Magic Valley City, and has armed forces.But he has such a kind and lively daughter Eugenie in his family.

Eugenie's personality is completely different from that of Grandet, who is stingy and speculative.Eugenie has a forthright and kind personality and likes to help others.

For a long time, Eugenie often tried to use the money from Grandet to help those in difficulty in the city of Magic Valley.

This made Grandet annoyed and stared blankly.
