King Snake General of Pirates

It was almost dusk after the banquet. At Mansgold's suggestion, Hal was invited to go to Sir Gustav's villa. Only then did he learn that this businessman was actually a nobleman.

It was rare for aristocrats to show up in person and work with common people all day long.

There were two carriages parked outside the hotel. Syl Gustaf and Syl Sawyer were sitting in the front car, and Hal and Mansgold were sitting in the back. After the distribution, the wheels began to roll and the carriage slowly Forward.

In the carriage, Mansgold, who was chatting happily with Hal, suddenly asked: "How old is the colonel this year?"

"22."

"You are really young and promising to become the base commander of the Navy Branch at such a young age. Speaking of which, you are only one year older than Miss Seale."

The snow-white figure appeared in front of Hal's eyes, but Mansgold patted the back of his hand gently and said: "Miss Seale is dignified, elegant, versatile, and a very good girl. The colonel must grasp it." Chance."

"Duke, what you said is too direct."

"Hahaha, it's really hard to understand the minds of young people today. When I was young, when I met a girl I liked, I just had to express my love directly. If the other party felt it but didn't express the same love, I would stop."

Hal propped his head up with his elbows on the window of the carriage, looking at the rapidly receding scenery outside the window. His black hair was blown up by the breeze along the way, and he murmured to himself: "Yes, times have changed."

After a while, the carriage stopped in front of a luxurious villa. A dozen handsome servants, dressed no worse than rich people, came forward and helped everyone in the carriage out one by one.

Syl Gustav and Syl Zoya entered the villa first, followed by Hal and Mansgold. The servant opened the door of the villa and found a spacious living room. As soon as he walked in, there was a refreshing fragrance. .

Sil Zoya smiled at everyone, and then walked up the stairs to the second floor.

Sil Gustav, Mansgold, and Hal sat down on the sofa.

Even though Mansgold was a Duke and Minister of Justice, when he came to Syl Gustaf's villa, he was still the main one, so he and Hal sat on both sides, and Syl Gustaf sat on the other side. Seated.

"Colonel Hal, the Duke has already told me the whole story, but based on what we know so far, this doesn't seem to be a market worth thinking about."

As soon as he sat down, Sir Gustave expressed his thoughts.

Hearing this, Hal raised his eyebrows and said: "The Western Military Region has a vast territory and a huge population. There are very few people willing to do business there at this time. Isn't this a huge market?"

"That's not how business works." Sir Gustav laughed contemptuously: "As far as I know, the poor in the Western Military Region can't even guarantee food and clothing, so what other consumption can they talk about? Besides, I don't think these people No matter how much benefit it can bring to me, projects that cannot generate enough profits are garbage to businessmen."

Seeing that Sir Gustav spoke rudely, Mansgold quickly came out to smooth things over: "What Mr. Sir said does make some sense, but that was only in the past. Now, with the help of the colonel and another group of righteous men, the Western Military Region Gradually, I have a complexion, and it would be too hasty to make a decision based on stereotypes.”

If he were facing other people, Sil Gustave would have no interest in listening to the Western Military Region project. But on the one hand, the person introducing him was the Minister of Justice and the Duke. Furthermore, Hal was from the Navy, specializing in arresting people. Sir Gustav hated the pirates, so he spent little time talking to them.

Stereotypes about the Western Military District?

Sir Gustave didn't think this impression would change much. As a noble, everyone knew that the Western Military Region was completely abandoned by Andrag. Even other Dukes and ministers were not interested in it, so how could they What value appears.

"The sea area near the Kingdom of Androser is calm and the navy does play a decisive role in it. Therefore, I have no doubts about the strength of the colonel and the ability of the 53rd branch of the navy. Likewise, I can do business on the Grand Line. Please don't doubt my keen sense of the market, Colonel. Fighting and doing business are two different things."

Hal was not surprised by Sir Gustave's determination. In fact, before he decided to do this, he had expected that the process would be very bumpy. It was difficult for people to accept and identify with the Western Military Region. Things that go to heaven.

There is only one way to solve the inherent concept.

"Since Mr. Seale is the most successful businessman in the West Sea, how can I doubt your keen sense of the market in business? However, the Western Military Region has indeed changed a lot."

"In terms of other types of consumption, the benefits may not be great, but in terms of food and clothing, I am sure that we will not operate at a loss. It is useless to say more. Why don't you take some time to go there in person, and then consider whether it is worth it?" .”

Hal is not making this up. In fact, in Matthew's city, there are no loss-making operators among the local businessmen operating the food and clothing industry. This is just because other military regions are not friendly towards the Western Military Region, and the people in the Western Military Region who originally have capital Not much, so it hasn't grown much.

After hearing his words, Mansgold's eyes lit up, his mind became active, and he responded: "It's true. Hearing is false, seeing is believing. It's better to go and see it in person than to say ten thousand words. I want to see it too." Look at the changes there, I happened to go there with Mr. Seale to see it.”

Cyr Gustave fell silent immediately.

Seeing that the navy captain was so concerned about the development of business in the Western Military Region, he asked meaningfully: "As a navy, it is actually in line with the rules to spend so much effort on the business of the franchised countries on the surface?"

His body paused slightly, and Mansgold also looked at him. He was about to defend Hal, but Hal took the initiative to answer: "To be honest, I have a friend who is running related industries in the Western Military Region. This time I do have selfish motives, but I am an ordinary person after taking off my military uniform, and I should be qualified to cooperate in business, right?"

Sir Gustave slightly narrowed his shrewd eyes and suddenly smiled: "Of course, of course, since you insist so much, for the sake of the Duke, I will go with you to see the lawless place. What has it become?"

After Syl Gustaf stood up, Hal and Mansgold also stood up. The three of them were about to leave immediately, when Syl Sawyer poked his head out from the stairs on the second floor: "Father, Take me with you."

"No, what does it look like for a girl to be in public all day long?" Syl Gustave refused.

"But, I really want to go see it with you and learn how to do business. Isn't this what you have always wanted?" She looked forward to it, and there seemed to be light in her eyes.

At this time, Mansgold said: "Let her go with you, Mr. Seale, it doesn't matter."

Syl Gustave pondered for a while before reluctantly agreeing: "You must follow me closely when you get there, and you are not allowed to run around, you know."

"Yes!"

Sylvia hurried back to the room, took out the huge sun hat and covered her head, and went out with Sylvia and Gustave.
