"A Pirate Novel ()" Find the latest chapter!

South African Style is no ordinary hotel.

It uses a small lake on the outskirts of Cape Town to build eight villas each with a view of the lake, with independent courtyards, annexes, a shared church and a hall that can hold concerts, auctions or banquets. General Assembly Hall.

Obviously, money may not be as useful here as it is in other places. It is not for profit, and it is difficult for civilians to get permission to stay here except for VIPs of African companies.

"Maybe we should build a villa like this..."

Plagiarizing other people's ideas indifferently, Pierce and Freemani swayed all the way to Villa No. 6 in a carriage.

As the pilot said, Villa No. 6 is built by the lake, but what the pilot didn't say is that all the villas here are built by the lake, and No. 6 is not a special one.

Pierce and Freemany got out of the car, rang the doorbell, and a servant answered.

Soon, Pierce saw a hulking gentleman in a tuxedo open the door, and then stepped back three meters away, just watching without saying a word.

The scene became very embarrassing at once.

Pierce touched his nose: "Well, I knew that not every Nordic person is as talkative as Mr. Eriksson..."

He adjusted the dress on his body: "Pierce Artis, please tell Mr. Logan, we are here."

"Go upstairs and turn left to the third room." The gentleman said, "Master has been waiting for you."

"Well, you won't lead us up?"

"Master said, no need."

...

"Nope, nope, nope..." Walking in the aisle of the spacious, luxurious and empty villa, Pierce murmured all the way, "Freeman, do you know? Some people think they are the founding elders of the chamber of commerce , has enough qualifications to shout and shout at the young vice president. As everyone knows, he is just a poor wretch who trembles over his past mistakes and looks at people's faces."

Freeman shrugged his shoulders: "Admiral, your behavior along the way is like being possessed by Grandma Rowling."

"That's because in Cape Town, I haven't been treated with the respect I deserve!"

"Perhaps you should look for the reason in yourself.

"Freemani gestured, "For example, grow a beard, or make yourself taller, at least look more powerful. You know, we've been envious of the first formation at this point. "

Pierce turned off the fire in one go.

In all fairness, he is not short, with a height of 172, he is strong enough, and he is definitely above the standard in Europe today.

But his face is always full of endless baby fat, and the freckles that symbolize teenagers have not disappeared, so that he always looks younger than his actual age.

Not to mention that he is only 16 years old...

The direct fleet is a team full of monsters. In the special service formation, there is a 190-centimeter God of War Kayo, and Ray and Turner are also 1.86 meters tall.

Not to mention Lorraine's first formation, the burly Karen, Leif who looked like a human-shaped beast, and Lorraine who was well-proportioned and not tall or short were all close to or more than 2 meters long, and even the handyman Bator was 180 centimeters.

Pierce's height is at Henna's level, not as good as Katerina's, only a little taller than Carmen's...

This has always been his heart disease.

It is said that he also had the years when sesame seeds bloomed. He started growing at the age of 11, rushed to 140 at the age of 12, and surpassed 155 at the age of 13.

At that time, he thought that he would soon be as tall and strong as Lorraine, but God slowed down his growth, and even an anonymous pilot could kick his nose in the face...

He slumped his shoulders: "My good Adoan, does growing a beard really make me mature?"

"At least it can make you dirty, and people generally don't like to talk to dirty ghosts."

"roll!"

Turning to the third room on the left, Pierce stood still at the door, adjusted his expression to a smiling face, and gently knocked on the door.

He yelled sweetly, "Brother Eddie, are you in there?"

"Enter."

With the simple permission, Pierce's veins twitched again.

He pushed open the door with his skirt, still smiling all over his face: "Brother Eddie, you still look so handsome."

Eddie Logan behind the desk raised his eyelids, pointed to the opposite side of him: "Sit."

"yes……"

Pierce took his seat, and Freemani stood behind him without looking sideways, with his head held high and his chest held high.

After Eddie finished handling the documents in his hand, he carefully sealed them with wax and stamped them with his signature.

"My letter departed Cape Town on June 3rd and arrived at Lucie on the 28th. Your special service fleet departed from St. George's on July 6th, arrived at Southampton on August 2nd, departed on the 5th, and arrived on the 12th. Arrived in Gibraltar. I thought you'd bring my stuff in early September, but it's the 27th."

"You were delayed for at least 20 days. Correspondingly, the African branch lost about 1,000 pounds. I need a reason that can convince me."

The opening scene was to question the guilt, and Pierce simply tore off the disguise from the corner of his eyes.

"There is no reason." He raised his chin, "Mr. Logan, the chairman also said that anything may happen at sea. I traveled 4,000 kilometers on this trip, and 20 days should be an acceptable error. You know it, and I know it too. "

Eddie laughed disdainfully: "The Maritime Group pooled their intelligence to build a fleet of brand-new sharp ships. The slowest ship in your hand also has a speed of 14 knots, with a delay of 20 days? Is this the limit of the ability of the cobbler's son? "

"It seems that you have a lot of dissatisfaction with me." Pierce also laughed, "Let me guess, all the old people in Elgin have been entrusted with important tasks. Brother Ramos is widely respected throughout Northwest Europe. I was invited by the Duke of Edinburgh to attend his New Year's Eve ball. Sister Carmen mainly handles administration on behalf of her brother, and she is majestic and grand inside the chamber of commerce. Her signature almost has the effect of her brother. Even me, a young boy, got it The command of the independent fleet, only you, has been wasted for so many years, and it is only now that you see the dawn of your career."

"You resent me, and I don't like you. Sister Carmen knows this. But she still put us together. Have you ever thought about why?"

"In my opinion, what she wants to see may not be my ability to lead a fleet, but whether you can be a qualified branch president, and Brother Ramos, Brother Keren, and Mr. Parker who came from behind Cooperate normally with Daddy Leonard."

Eddie raised his eyebrows: "Are you threatening me? Are you implying that if I don't give you a high rating, the General Chamber of Commerce will label me as an incompetent and eventually drive me out of the African branch I founded?"

"Everything is possible." Pierce grinned, "But there is one thing worth correcting. I don't need you to deliberately raise my rating. Brother and sister Carmen are not stupid. Deliberate praise and deliberate bad reviews are in their eyes. There is no difference, it is all evidence of your incompetence."

"Let's do business first."

Pierce raised his legs, and Freeman immediately handed over a suitcase, opened it, and faced Eddie.

"In the box are the documents you want, including the General Assembly's approval for the establishment of the African branch, the shareholding plan of the African branch, and the start-up capital and merchant ships you have been looking forward to."

Eddie drew out the share plan following the introduction: "5%... Sure enough, in the eyes of the chairman, I am still..."

"This is the first plan." Pierce interrupted Eddie's self-pity, "Considering the shares you own in Northwest Europe, Miss Carmen thinks that 5% of the founding shares is a fair and appropriate treatment. But she still proposed the second plan." The second option, you can use the shares you hold in Northwest Europe to replace them, so that you can increase your holdings by an additional 15%, reaching 20% ​​of the total equity.”

"I agree!"

"I am obliged to remind you that 15% of the shares in Africa will not be worth more than 5% of the shares in Northwest Europe for at least three years, not to mention that your shares in Northwest Europe are full shares and you can participate in the decision-making of the branch."

"I agree, this is a well-thought-out answer." Eddie replied, found out the equity replacement agreement under the share plan, signed it, and stamped it with his seal, "Africa has great potential, and as the helm of the African branch , I don’t need to dictate the affairs of Northwest Europe anymore.”

Pierce whistled: "Since you insist... your vice president and admiral are selected by the General Chamber of Commerce and will report to you before November 15. The start-up capital is 20,000 pounds, in my lady , today you can send someone to check and put them into storage. There are eight merchant ships diverted to Africa, and they are docking in Gibraltar, including one Brig, three Brigentines, and four mixed-sail Skuners, of which two Brigentines are It is a cutting-edge ship with 16 doors of the same level as the Sunflower, with a top speed of 18 knots."

In Eddie's eyes, these allocations are still very generous, higher than the treatment in the Caribbean a few years ago, and from the beginning, all ocean-going and offshore ships are equipped, just the number...

He looked at Pierce dissatisfied: "The African branch is working hard alone, and it will certainly not accumulate merchant ships as quickly as Northwest Europe and the Caribbean. Is this number less?"

"The General Chamber of Commerce will only give you so much equipment."

Pierce rubbed his fingers at Freemani, took another document from the latter, and threw it to Eddie's desk.

"However, I have other options here, including two Baggs, two Brigs, five Brigentines, and a non-standard 36-meter Galen, 50% to 70% new, with injuries, and the ship's firepower is only It’s less than half, and it’s in terrible condition.”

Eddie was stunned for a while: "Where did you... get these boats?"

"My trip was delayed by 20 days. This is mainly because I stayed in Cape Verde for 23 days and wiped out a pirate group with 16 ships. God bless their ships without gunners, otherwise I might Will stay there longer."

"Ten...sixteen boats?"

"Sixteen boats with more than 2,000 people. These boats in my hand were not sunk at the time. Because most of them were wounded, they couldn't follow me south. They could only be kept at the pier in Dakar..."

"You earned 20 points for your assessment." Eddie quickly put the ten large ships into his safe, took out a parchment, and threw it in front of Pierce, "Here are the remaining 20 points. About The most important partner of the branch in the future, Mr. Baker, the general manager of the African company, has a little request for us..."
