From Pirates to Sweeping the Worlds

The merchants in the back line began to get anxious as they watched the departing ship.

They stood aside and kept urging the dock workers, "Hurry up! Hurry up!!".

Fan Long could only try his best to appease them and ensure that they would sail safely before tonight.

In the end, Fan Long was unable to defeat this group of "fat sheep", so he directly transferred in a team of power-type insect men. With their strength, the efficiency was increased by four times.

The setting sun cast a red glow on the horizon, and the clouds looked as colorful as if they were on fire.

Unfortunately, the remaining merchant was not in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery.

After the last bag of food was moved into the cabin, the crew immediately prepared to set sail.

Fan Long tactfully said nothing and politely watched them leave.

......

The next day, early in the morning.

Fan Long came to the executive hall again, but the people sitting in the audience had changed.

Now these people are all medium-sized businessmen with weak strength. They don’t own many ships and make a living by shuttling back and forth between the islands and reselling island specialties.

The purpose of calling them here is self-evident.

Relying on the Zerg's unscientific technology, Kerrigan has produced a variety of products of extremely high quality, such as: royal jelly, refined salt, white wine, various types of sugar, porcelain, silk, cosmetics, perfume, etc.

These violent products can bring huge wealth to the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

In addition, there are some more common products, such as: fruits, sea fish, canned meat, flour, rice and other semi-processed products.

With the support of the Zerg, the products produced are undoubtedly a crushing victory for this world.

This is just what Xia Jieren can think of, and more products are still in the development stage.

When Xia Jieren saw the royal jelly produced directly from the Zerg factory for the first time, he opened his mouth in surprise, "This is completely different from the royal jelly I know."

Royal jelly is a viscous paste with golden color and sweet aroma.

But when Xia Jieren saw the golden paste in front of him, he doubted, "Did I go to the wrong set and enter the world of "The Prisoner of Food"?"

"Come to think of it, One Piece and The Gourmet Prisoner have collaborated before, so the two worlds won't really merge."

Since he couldn't figure it out, Xia Jieren stopped thinking about it. Being able to get a specialty was undoubtedly better than anything else.

Xia Jieren now needs to start thinking about how to harvest the group of "piglets" on the sea. "The nobles will definitely have a special liking for this luxury product."

"Let's produce 10 tons every month to test the waters. 1 million pounds of royal jelly for 100 kilogram shouldn't be too much, right?" Xia Jieren thought to himself.

"Those pigs will pay for this," he was certain and confident.

The facts were just as Xia Jieren expected.

When Fan Long took out the sample, the whole hall was silent for a moment, and then there was a deafening noise, and the momentum seemed to be about to blow the roof off.

If Fan Long had not been prepared and arranged soldiers to guard the rostrum, those businessmen might have rushed up directly.

"Grass (a kind of plant), royal jelly of this quality can be used as tribute to the Celestial Dragons."

A businessman sitting at the front desk stared at the bottle on the table with fiery eyes and was ecstatic.

His name is Sergio Rice, a very ambitious businessman who has built his business from nothing to where it is today. He has a very sharp eye and saw the value of this specialty at a glance.

"As long as I pay tribute to the Celestial Dragons, even if I cannot gain their appreciation, I can still establish good relations with the people in the World Government and become a businessman close to the World Government."

"With this identity, I won't have to pay protection fees to those damn blood-sucking bugs anymore."

"Those damn exploiters will take at least 60% of the profits every time."

"Damn it! If it weren't for this, I would have become a wealthy businessman long ago, and I wouldn't have to stay in this small place like West Sea."

As thoughts raced through his mind, Sergio Rice's eyes gradually became firm. He had made up his mind to get these goods at any cost.

Sergio Rice is not the only smart man here. Many businessmen, after a little thought, also know the added value that these goods can bring. They keep silent and think with their heads down.

Fan Long took in everything that happened in the audience and without further ado, he started auctioning the right to purchase royal jelly.

That is to say, the merchants below need to obtain the purchasing rights first before they can buy royal jelly at the price of 100 million Baileys per kilogram.

Because these businessmen were not very strong, Fan Long divided 10 tons of royal jelly into 100 portions and auctioned them.

Originally, according to Xia Jieren's idea, he wanted to sell these products directly to big businessmen, so that they could take in more goods at one time.

After thinking it over again and again, Xia Jieren decided not to do so for the time being. Mainly because he was afraid that they would lower the price. Secondly, Xia Jieren also wanted to increase the popularity of the product first and then directly auction the agency rights.

By doing this, you can not only expand your network, but also obtain more stable income.

As Fan Long knocked down the auction gavel in his hand, the fierce auction officially began.

The people in the audience were arguing with each other. They were the kind of people who didn't have many choices, so they also cherished every opportunity.

By noon, many items had been sold, and as long as they paid for the goods, they could go directly to the dock warehouse to pick them up.

So, this scene appeared on the street.

A group of merchants rushed out of the executive hall and ran towards the port, but their bodies were just there, they were panting, and their speed was not very fast.

At this time, some well-proportioned young businessmen took advantage.

Pedestrians on the street looked at this scene in astonishment, wondering what was wrong with these gorgeously dressed businessmen.

Turning off the light screen in front of him, Xia Jieren once again lamented the oddities of the pirate world, "We already have high-tech robots, but I didn't expect that even the technology of drying salt has not been popularized."

When Xia Jieren first heard that salt here was very expensive, he was very unconvinced. "During the Judicial Island arc, the Seven Water Cities were baptized by the water gods Akula Lagna, and they were able to produce so much high-quality salt. How could there be a shortage of salt in the One Piece world?"

But the facts gave Xia Jieren a hard slap in the face.

While strolling in the royal capital, Xia Jieren found a special salt sales place and carefully looked at the salt that the people usually ate.

Very rough!

It has not been refined at all. It is simply dried in the sun to remove impurities visible to the naked eye, and then sold directly.

After learning more about it, I found out that some areas do not know the process of sea salt drying, but most areas know it but cannot make salt themselves.
