Chapter 135: Causes and Consequences

Thanks to the news from Morgans, Moriah was not blind, and he also understood his current situation.

"Am I really a non-chief, with bad luck?"

"Why am I so unlucky?"

"I am not Tang Seng, do I have to rush up and attack me?"

"Besides, Tang Seng has at least three disciples to protect him?"

"What about me?"

...

Moriah was talking to himself in the room, walking back and forth.

The current situation is a dead end for Moriah.

If he is not careful, the whole army will be wiped out.

At first, Moriah planned to notify the old swordsman and run away immediately. But then he thought, it was impossible.

Most of Moriah's men now joined for a short time and did not return. These pirates came for Moriah's generous treatment, and by joining Moriah's command, they can enjoy the benefits of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and be exempted from the navy's wanted list.

In short, if they knew that the World Government was going to deal with Moriah, I am afraid that the three terrifying sailing ships would be in chaos first.

To be precise, the World Government and the Navy did not want to deal with Moria and deprive him of his position as a Shichibukai, but they were attracted by Moria's wealth.

A man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure.

This is the most fundamental reason.

Therefore, Moria can only think of a way to avoid disaster by spending money.

However, all this must have a prerequisite, that is, he must survive first.

Only by surviving can Moria be qualified to negotiate with the World Government.

Otherwise, everything is empty talk.

In fact, the Five Elders had no intention of taking action against Moria until they read a report.

This report is a business plan, which shows that since the demise of the Hill Chamber of Commerce, its market share has been given to other forces. Although the World Government has made a huge profit from it, it is only a one-time transaction, not a long-term business. For a long time, although the government has participated in it, it has only enjoyed the share. This has led to the fact that these chambers of commerce and the forces behind them will inevitably have other thoughts over time.

Therefore, the best way is to create a chamber of commerce that truly belongs to the government.

Don't you see, when Moria established a Bat Chamber of Commerce, so many nobles and businessmen participated in it, and Moria got 10 billion Baileys of capital at once. On weekdays, when the government urged businessmen to pay taxes and dividends, they said they had no money and kept urging them. It is conceivable how much was swallowed up.

The Five Elders saw this report, especially the one that said Moria established the Bat Chamber of Commerce and got 10 billion Baileys of investment, and immediately sent people to investigate. Since there were many businessmen involved, the Five Elders got a detailed report soon.

Looking at the investigation reports one by one, with the wisdom of the Five Elders, they quickly figured out Moria's plan. No wonder Moria had to make an agreement on the Bat Chamber of Commerce even if the shares were reduced. It turned out that the real big head was here!

The Five Elders felt that they were fooled by Moria. It has always been the government that took other people's money, but now it is helping a pirate count money.

It is really unforgivable!

Moreover, there are many things in this business plan, and the analysis is very accurate. The Five Elders think about the faces of those businessmen on weekdays, and feel that it is necessary to rectify them.

Undisputedly, this business plan was successfully passed, and this official was in charge.

The Five Elders were naturally very happy that such a business genius appeared in the government. Without saying anything, they would get promoted and make money, and they specially summoned him to encourage him to work hard. If he did a good job, there would be more rewards.

This official was naturally very happy.

But behind this, there is another identity, that is, the spy arranged by the Hill Chamber of Commerce to the World Government.

The World Government can send spies, so naturally, the Hill Chamber of Commerce has also arranged people in the World Government for so many years.

And this confidential list is only in the hands of the president of the Hill Chamber of Commerce. Although the top leaders of the World Government have been lurking for so many years, they still have no clue. When the World Government broke through the Hill Chamber of Commerce headquarters, they only found some remaining information in the sea of ​​fire, and there happened to be a list in it. The World Government thought it was these people, so after dealing with these people, the matter was over.

But in fact, this was just a pretense, and the real list could not be written on paper at all.

And this senior government official is one of the most outstanding spies of the Hill Chamber of Commerce.

The people who know businessmen best are naturally businessmen.

The Hill Chamber of Commerce, the "world's largest chamber of commerce", is not called for nothing. A business plan is just a piece of cake.

Moreover, this business plan also retaliated against Moria. Only a few mentions, and a huge conspiracy against Moria followed.

The last plan against Moria failed because of underestimating Moria's strength.

And this time, Moria would have a hard time even if he didn't want to die.

The other half of the treasure key must be taken back.

This time, with the help of the World Government, Moria can be said to be easy to get.

But these are not the most important things. The purpose of the Hill Chamber of Commerce is to stir up conflicts between the world government and underground forces, and this business plan is the initial fuse.

Establishing a chamber of commerce and regulating the market are very beneficial to the world government from any perspective, but in general, it is to promote the formalization of business, regulate the existence of the black market, make all transactions public, and accept government supervision.

It can be said that this is undoubtedly to cut off the roots of underground forces.

After so many years of dealing with it, the Hill Chamber of Commerce is very clear that the twists and turns of the underground world, and the intelligence it has, in some aspects, is even much more detailed than that of the world government.

Over the years, due to the increase in pirates, the income of the world government can be said to be declining, so the financial pressure has gradually emerged, and new income must be found.

And this business plan undoubtedly gives the world government hope.

But on the other hand, the income of underground forces is constantly increasing, and the reason is the income brought by pirates.

Especially in the aspect of arms trafficking.

In the world of pirates, you can find one or two weapons shops in any slightly prosperous town. However, although the world government does not prohibit the sale of weapons, there are regulations on the quantity, and these shops have to charge a lot of taxes, which also leads to the high price of weapons.

Moreover, you can see that these weapon stores are small, with few weapons and few customers buying them.

So, with this calculation, there is not much profit at all, and they may even lose money.

Yes, that's right, these weapon stores will lose money.

Because the price of weapons on the black market is much cheaper than those in these regular weapon stores, and there is no limit on the quantity, so pirates basically buy all their weapons on the black market.

This also avoids the navy's search, because regular weapon stores are generally located in towns, and such places basically have naval bases.

Over time, few people buy weapons in regular stores, and all go to the black market. The remaining stores are just for the government to pretend.

Otherwise, with the few weapon stores on the surface, how can the demand for weapons in the pirate world be met?

And now, the world government wants to formalize the black market, and you can imagine how the forces behind it will react. ,

Even if it is just supervision, it won't work.

The black market, as the name suggests, cannot be seen in the light!
