Pirate: The Strongest Pirate Merchant

"I plan to invest 200 billion beli in Rapeseed Port.

If the words are not surprising, then I will die.

As soon as Lin En opened his mouth, Kobra and the senior officials including the Minister of Finance were stunned.

"This is just an initial investment, and there will be more in the future."

"I will build an industrial park here to produce everything the market needs."

"Of course, detailed plans and special plans will be drawn up."

"According to my estimation, Alabasta can provide more than 1 million jobs in the future."

Lin En's words made Cobra re-examine Lin En.

Lin En's courage is really shocking.

Although Alabasta was a wealthy country in the past, successive years of drought, civil unrest, and constant wars have led to the depletion of national power.

So far, let alone foreign businessmen, even the country's nobles are unwilling to invest in Xingzhou industries.

The country's economy is not just a matter of stagnation.

If people do not have jobs and cannot obtain food and clothing, it will further cause trouble and affect the stability of the country.

So Kobra took a deep breath and said to Lin En, "What support can I give you?"

Lin En said: "With enough land and tax exemptions, local officials cannot interfere with the development of industrial zones."

Tax relief?

"Cough cough cough." The finance minister coughed deliberately, then blinked at Kobra and shook his head quietly.

Lin En naturally noticed these small actions.

Obviously, the finance minister does not want to reduce taxes. Even if he wants to reduce taxes, he does not want to reduce them too much.

After all, Alabasta's treasury is also empty.

However, Kobra thought for a while, "Okay, exempt the first five years of taxes in the industrial zone, and at the same time, exempt the rent of the land for 20 years, and all the raw materials needed by the industrial zone.

All equipment and equipment are imported without tariffs. "

Lin En praised: "Your Majesty is really a benevolent king.

"Your Majesty!" the finance minister said anxiously.

How much money will this cost?

However, Kobra remained unmoved.

As a monarch, he has his own considerations.

In his opinion, Lin En is the richest man in East Blue, and the Lin En Chamber of Commerce has a huge amount of funds in East Blue.

The influx of these funds into Alabasta can create a large number of job opportunities and stabilize Alabasta's people's livelihood environment.

If the country is in turmoil or even destroyed, no matter how much tax you collect, it will be meaningless.

After Lin En left, Kobra, Bell and others went for a walk in the garden.

The arrival of Lin En allowed Kobra to see an opportunity for "rebirth of the kingdom".

As long as the citizens of Alabasta can find jobs and have enough food and clothing, the country will develop in a good direction.

Kobra is a benevolent king.

Everything he does and thinks is from the perspective of the people.

Among the many kings in the world, he is considered an alternative.

Compared with Wapol from the Drum Kingdom, Kobra is simply a saint.

At this time, Princess Vivi and the maids were chasing the butterfly.

Vivi sees Kobra.

She found that Kobra's brows relaxed, which must be something happy.

Kobra also shared with Vivi that Lin En, the richest man in East Blue, came to invest.

For 500 billion beli, Vivi still doesn’t know what it is.

However, the man named ‘Lin En’ should be very powerful if he can make Kobra no longer upset.

Vivi secretly wrote down the name.

Sea Circle Calendar March 1518.

Lin En contacted Makino and representatives from the chamber of commerce.

Lin En wants to invest in Rapeseed Port and build an industrial park in Alabasta.

This means that Lin En has officially entered the Grand Line.

…Please give me flowers…

In the following time, the first batch of merchants from East Blue reached more than a thousand people.

The purpose of these businessmen coming to Alabasta is naturally to make money.

At the same time, along with the arrival of these merchants, there was also the Lin En Chamber of Commerce's fleet and security forces.

There are more than 1,000 merchants, equipped with nearly 6,000 security guards, and nearly 200 ships.

The mighty stop at Alabasta.

Sir Crocodile looked at the busy scene at the port and murmured, "It's really spectacular.

"This is just the beginning."

Lin En only brought some of East Blue's forces to Grand Line this time.

....0…

If you want to conquer this place, you must take root in the Grand Line.

Recruit local talents, recruit businessmen, train troops, etc.

Sea Circle Calendar June 1518.

Lin En and Kobra formally signed an investment letter of intent at Rapeseed Flower Port and handed over the investment plan.

On the day of signing the contract, Rapeseed Flower Harbor was packed with people.

Not only the local residents of Rapeseed Flower Port, but also people from surrounding areas flocked to the port city after learning the news.

Under the protection of 200,000 royal troops.

Lin En, Cobra, and Sir Crocodile signed a tripartite agreement in the presence of Alabasta's nobles and many businessmen.

Lin En promised to provide funds and technology and give priority to Alabasta residents.

Kobra signed the lease of the port and nearby land, as well as tax and customs exemptions.

Sir Crocodile promised to protect Rapeseed Port and ensure that it would not be attacked by pirates.

"Lin En!"

"Crocodile!"

"Lin En!"

"Crocodile!"

On the high platform, Lin En and Sir Crocodile were like the heroes and saviors of the country amid the chants of hundreds of thousands of people. .
