Chapter 4: Protecting Peace with the Sword in Hand

He, Heberfield Charlotte, became famous on the island of Latte.

This incident made Charlotte feel a little emo, how should he keep a low profile?

If this spreads out, the consequences will be disastrous!

It's really a bit of trouble.

He keeps a low profile and the fundamental reason for wanting to lie down is that he is afraid of trouble, which will affect his practice.

But things are different now!

Lina, the waitress, has been following Charlotte for almost a month, and she has already become accustomed to Charlotte's humble character.

Always so gentle and sunny.

Soon, Charlotte arrived at the port of the Hiberfield family.

The captured pirate ship has long been replaced with the flag of the Hiberfield family.

It was a pair of white angel wings that were closed together, and in the middle of the wings was a king's sword.

It means guarding peace with the sword in your hand.

You don't have to think about it, it's Ivan's handiwork.

It looks like some old pirate ships, although they are not big.

But even so, the only port on Lati Island seems a bit small.

"Boss, I think that for the better development of the Silberfeller family, we should repair and expand the port!"

Ivan said extremely seriously to Charlotte.

This is Ivan's long-standing plan. If the family does not rely on plunder for its development, it will only develop shipping in the future.

This small port owned by the family did not meet the Hiberfeller family's expectations for future development.

The Hiberfield family needs a large port to collect business taxes and maintain a stable income.

Charlotte hesitated for a moment. He knew very well the importance of the port to the Hiberfield family, but this kind of thing was also troublesome!

A port that is too prosperous may easily attract the attention of pirates.

Seeing Charlotte's tangled look, Ivan felt that the boss must be thinking deeply. As the head of the Heberfeller family, every decision is related to the future of the family.

Charlotte, on the other hand, had a headache. This matter was very confusing.

On the one hand, he is very unsafe; on the other hand, he also needs a refined life.

This made him have difficulty choosing.

How to solve it? We should take a long-term approach.

"That……"

Just as Charlotte was about to speak, she looked at Ivan's fiery gaze and made up her mind for a moment.

The passionate little brother is working hard for him to live a comfortable life, so he has no reason to refuse directly!

"Just try it!"

Ivan was overjoyed. Sure enough, the boss was as wise as ever.

"Boss, don't worry! I've already gone to Mr. Rady to draw the drawings."

Charlotte nodded, everything was done, it was good to prepare for a rainy day.

Ivan is doing his best in the affairs of the Hiberfield family, which is very reassuring.

Because of Ivan's hard work, this poor family can survive.

Only then did he have so much time to train and fish with peace of mind.

Anyway, although there are risks in the final analysis, as long as he is not famous and others don't notice him, it won't be a problem.

As for ports, the New World has no shortage of them either!

At worst, all you need to do is plant a flag of the Four Emperors in the future and pay some protection money. This is a common thing in the new world, and the main thing is safety.

Thinking of this, Charlotte felt reassured.

It will also take a long time for the port on Lati Island to truly develop.

Mr. Lardy was originally the designer of this small port.

He once went abroad to study architectural design and is a very capable old man.

Charlotte began to think about it seriously and touched her chin.

Although Lati Island is a bit remote, the location is actually good.

As long as there are the flags of the future four emperors, the safety here is protected, and reasonable commercial taxes are set, it will be enough to become a shipping transfer station.

At that time, there will be a steady stream of money flowing in here to enhance their strength.

Financial resources are also a type of strength. If you want to be able to live peacefully, you must have money. If you don't have strength, you can't just eat bran and work for others!

As for pirates, they know nothing about business development.

Of course, it would be best to wear the flag of the Whitebeard Pirates.

"How much money do we still have on our books, and how much will it take to fully implement the plan?"

Charlotte looked at Ivan. After all, he had always been a gangster except for practicing.

"Boss, it depends on the drawings designed by Mr. Rady. The scale of the port, materials, labor, etc. all require funds. Of course, the materials must be well selected. In that case, the price will definitely not be low."

"Take the current port as an example. It originally cost 160 million Baileys."

One hundred and sixty million Baileys?

so much!

Bailey is quite valuable now, which is enough to be called a huge sum of money. Anyway, Charlotte has never seen so much small money since she was born in this world.

"The funds on our books are far from enough. We only have the 30 million Baileys you grabbed."

Ivan analyzed this for Charlotte.

In fact, it is a pity that although the gang boss invested in the port back then, he was not strong enough and few merchant ships came.

This has also led to the current situation of the port. It is really poor management, no... it is due to lack of strength.

Charlotte touched her chin and was speechless for a while while listening to Ivan's analysis.

The only 30 million Baileys he stole from pirates.

“So what’s our biggest revenue?”

Charlotte asked.

Fortunately, there is no rush now. You can think of some ways to slowly raise funds.

This is a very good excuse to procrastinate.

"A certain amount of protection tax is charged, and sometimes there are some commercial taxes."

Ivan said with some embarrassment.

Charlotte was a little surprised when he heard this. The business was really small. It was a miracle that he didn't starve to death.

"Boss, we have a boat that can go to distant seas to fish."

Charlotte nodded to Ivan's words. The family was poor! There was nothing he could do about it.
