Chapter 130: Prepare to Bring Goods to the Tianlong People, and Make Money without Conscience!
"Hey, so much money, Teacher Zefa?"
"You are stepping down from the position of general, are you afraid of being liquidated?"
"I have been afraid of poverty since I was a child. I don't even spend the money I get, I just keep it in my pocket..."
Luke teased Zefa.
On the other end of the phone, Zefa had a smile on his face, but complained: "Are you talking nonsense again? I am one of the most incorruptible admirals in history!"
"For so many years, the Navy has provided food and accommodation, and I don't have any bad hobbies..."
"Isn't it normal to save some money?"
Luke responded with a smile: "Yes, yes, it's so normal! Don't worry, I will definitely use this money wisely..."
"Do your best, Luke, I fully support you in this matter!"
Zefa sighed: "The World Government doesn't treat the sailors as human beings! I still remember that poor woman..."
"Obviously my husband is a sailor, but he was kidnapped by the Celestial Dragons and made into a slave! This makes me embarrassed to face young people..."
Luke's excuse to Zefa was that he wanted to improve the treatment of soldiers at the bottom of the navy.
Therefore, we need to establish a large capital pool and take the lead in getting involved in business.
The project has been selected, it just requires starting capital.
Therefore, Luke asked him for money.
Zefa was happy to see this.
As a traditional veteran navy, he has a simple sense of empathy for the treatment of big-headed soldiers...
The small treasury is also exceptionally rich.
After all, he is the man who chose to work alone in the original space and time, and can still support the daily expenses of the NEO Navy...
The so-called three years to become a magistrate and a hundred thousand snowflakes of silver, let alone a naval admiral?
"How is that woman doing lately?"
"What will the name of the child be? Has it been given a name?" Luke's heart moved and he asked casually.
"It's a boy, his name is Ace..."
"It's growing very fast. It matured prematurely after eating the Shao Shao fruit, and it's now jumping around!"
"Sakaski likes him very much, maybe because of his origin? Or maybe it's because Rock Berry is the superior of Shasha Fruit, and he always goes to see him..."
Talking about the Navy Headquarters.
Zefa, who completely stepped back after Luke was promoted to general, is like an old man who loves to talk about his family's shortcomings, nagging his proud disciple.
Luke listened quietly, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
Sakaski is actually interested in Ace?
If little Ace knew better, he would have a sweeter mouth under Lujiu's guidance, and would rely on this feeling to become Sakaski's disciple...
Then there will be a program.
But Roger was executed anyway.
Roger, who was already terminally ill, wanted to use his death as a node to start a new era. This was his inner desire...
But this time, Roger didn't rely on the so-called great secret treasure and his identity as the Pirate King...
"Do you want to change the world? Then go to sea! Go see why the world is corrupt!"
"Whether you want to be a pirate, a navy, or anything else, my secret treasure is real and will provide power to the subversives at the end of the world!"
Countless people cheered for Roger.
Compared to the original time and space, the scene where the people of the world celebrated after the death of Pirate King Roger...
This time, many people also spontaneously paid tribute to the "hero Roger" who rescued the slaves.
This line was confirmed by Luke and Roger.
Since we want to target the world government and want to break the existing order and build a new world, then stop playing the Riddler business in secret and shout out openly!
And Roger must also cooperate with Luke.
He had previously stressed that pirates did not believe that a leader who could overthrow the Celestial Dragons could be born from the soil of the Navy...
Besides, Roger's background is that of a pirate, so he naturally hopes that someone from his own group will emerge who can change the world...
But Luke was watching, and Roger had no choice.
This man is so domineering that he can see a small part of the future!
He was sure that if he didn't follow the script, Luke would cut off the live broadcast signal on the spot...
"Don't worry, Teacher Zefa..."
"I always feel that the world will get better and better. Although there may be some fluctuations in the process, as long as there is faith in the heart, there is still hope!"
"I will carry your share with me and keep fighting!"
Luke poured several bowls of chicken soup into the old marine leader and hung up the phone.
After pondering over the personnel list for a while, he dialed Kizaru's phone number.
"Okay, I can't tell the difference between the receiver and the phone. Why don't you act cute at a young age?"
"I have a business here to provide some benefits to the sailors, and I can also make a fortune by the way..."
"Pitch?"
Kizaru let out a long sigh: "Does an admiral do business? It's not that it's against the procedures, it's just that no one has ever done this before..."
"You can do whatever is not prohibited by law."
Luke said briefly: "This matter has nothing to do with the Navy Headquarters. It is purely my personal behavior."
The phone bug was silent for a moment.
"Don't lose money, Luke..."
"My five insurances, one fund, and pension security all depend on this small treasury..."
Kizaru sighed: "Really, I'm so easily deceived by you!"
Luke smiled: "I'm not deceiving you, it's your vision that's so accurate..."
The reason why he called Kizaru was not because Luke really lacked his share of money.
But whether to give money or not is a matter of attitude.
As a naval admiral, he wants to establish an independent fund pool and a foundation. This is obviously problematic...
Even if the World Government does not explicitly prohibit it, it does not prevent the matter from being insensitive.
Then giving money to Luke means that he agrees with you and is a brother in his own camp.
If he doesn’t give money, he is standing on the opposite side…
Yes, Luke does not agree with the neutral faction who sits on the fence.
In the fierce struggle, there is no ambiguous attitude!
This phone call confirmed Kizaru’s attitude.
He usually looks like he is not involved in anything and is absolutely neutral, but when it comes to the real thing…
Kizaru is still very happy!
Isn’t the so-called ambiguous justice just dissatisfaction with the current world government?
Otherwise, it’s an ambiguous hammer!
"Sakaski, I have something to say..."
"You support it too? Okay, I won't make a big fuss, just to provide some bottom-line benefits for the marines!"
"Without worries, we can concentrate on executing justice..."
"Things like Ace and Luju shouldn't become a norm in the Navy, we need to keep the alarm bell ringing!"
Sakaski was silent for a long time, and told Luke not to let the World Government pay too much attention, and said an astonishing number.
So far, Luke has raised the funds for the three monsters of the Navy, and confirmed their initial attitude.
As for Garp and Sengoku, the two generals of the previous generation, it goes without saying.
Although Sengoku looks like a loyal dog of the Celestial Dragons to the outside world, he always talks about the World Government...
But for Rosinante's return to the Celestial Dragons camp and seeking benefits for the Navy Headquarters.
Although he was very reluctant in his heart, didn't he let Rosinante do it in the end?
As for Garp, the amount of money he gave was also astonishing.
Luke was very suspicious. Did Monkey D. Dragon get the Garp Coins when he started his team?
If he got there first, wouldn't Monkey D. Dragon faint?
Go for it, kid!
The admiral's abundant savings also touched Luke.
I can only say.
In this extraordinary world, money is useless to the strong and has very few uses.
Admiral-level navy provides food, accommodation and medical care, but not inner enlightenment...
The original text can be read in Liu # 9 x-on:Shu/Bar!
Bailey can buy a good sword, but not a supreme sword.
The real upper-level resources are not circulated in Bailey.
But for most people, Bailey is still very useful, because it can buy bread, milk and meat!
Luke used to be like this...
Bailey is just a string of cold numbers for him, and he can't do anything else.
But now it's different...
Let the marines and more people who trust him eat well, eat well, and wear warm clothes, and he will become stronger!
"Although this money is considerable, it is rootless after all. It is just a deposit, not an industry..."
"It needs to be integrated with the shipbuilding company of the Seven Waters City, so that there will be a steady stream of money coming in."
He is not worried that it will be difficult to acquire the company.
The mayor of the Seven Waters City is a wise man. He asked Rosinandi and Spandine to take action. As long as the attitude is good and the money is enough, he is willing to take this endorsement...
Luke thought.
Industry is one aspect, and sales and customer groups are also important.
You have to find those rich and willing to spend suckers and make a lot of money!
Thinking of this, Luke's eyes suddenly lit up.
Isn't it beautiful to do business with the Celestial Dragons?
Luke looked at the warships floating in the sky outside the window and laughed out loud.
For the Celestial Dragons who are obsessed with comparison and extravagance, their ships are usually painted with thick gold powder, gorgeous and expensive furniture and various decorations...
But how can these compare with the flying ship?
Especially when one Celestial Dragon has it, how can other Celestial Dragons fall behind?
Luke wants to lead this trend in Mary Geoise and hype up the airship in his hands!
A few days later.
Spandam, the son of Spandine, rushed to Luke at full speed. According to his father's instructions, he took a small notebook and carefully recorded the orders.
"Notify them to count the abandoned warships in our base and move them out of the garbage dump."
"All activities will be suspended in the next few days, and we will focus on renovating the abandoned warships. Wait for my further orders for the next action!"
"Send someone to the headquarters to pull back the abandoned warships there. Anyway, they are useless..."
Spandam quickly repeated it, looked at Luke with reverence, and went to execute the order.
His father repeatedly emphasized and warned him…
Tell him how powerful the Lord Luke he was about to serve was, and that being able to become a familiar face and help him was much better than being in Mary Geoise!
If Zhen Jian was in Lu Xin, maybe one day he would give a slap to the Celestial Dragons, and it would be nothing…
Spandam was overwhelmed by what he heard.
But Spandine kept it to himself, not daring to tell his son that his father held the lives of Celestial Dragons in his hands…
Looking at Spandam's back, Luke smiled.
Here is a smart errand runner, which can really save him a lot of trouble…
At the naval base in the new world.
The assembled naval officers and soldiers looked at Luke in confusion.
No one understood why they were suddenly competing with abandoned warships when they were carrying out their missions.
But with Luke's prestige, the marines had no objection.
Let alone an abandoned warship, even if they were just dancing together on the spot, everyone would just think it was a way to cultivate their sentiments.
The New World Naval Base is the most dangerous naval base in the entire pirate world...
But since Luke took over, the navy and pirates have almost become a family...
The casualty rate has really plummeted.
Barrett and Marco come to check on the progress of the navy's training, fulfill the responsibilities of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and catch pirates with the navy.
Whenever they have nothing to do, they will bring people from the Whitebeard Pirates to play, and the marines will pretend not to see them. On special days, everyone will have a banquet together...
After all, the Seven Warlords of the Sea are working so hard, what's wrong with bringing a few friends to see the naval base?
Besides, Admiral Luke didn't say anything, and he even greeted Diamond Joz and Flower Sword Vista!
"Brothers, refurbish these warships in one day..."
"Rust removal and shell replacement, no need to use real materials, but the interior must look luxurious!"
"Spandam, you know what I mean? Do it in the style that Mary Joa likes..."
Spandam blinked hard, leaned close to Luke and whispered: "Sir, do you want a luxurious style?"
"It's fine if it looks good but not practical, the cost is kept to a minimum, but it must look luxurious..."
Luke said unscrupulously with a cigar in his mouth: "This way we can make a big profit! I want to sell these ships to the Celestial Dragons and make some money!"
Spandam blinked: "Sir... Is this easy to sell?"
"Of course it's not easy to sell normally, but it's easy to sell when it flies!" Luke exhaled a puff of smoke, looked at the confused marines, and waved his hand:
"Follow the order!"
The marines acted obediently.
Although it is not a combat mission within the rules and regulations, it is Luke's private work...
But everyone is still willing to help Luke, and they are working hard.
If there is no base commander, the casualty rate of the New World Base would be terrible!
Luke saw the reactions of the marines and curled his lips slightly.
There is no need to paint a rosy picture for the marines now, which will only dilute their expectations...
After these ships are sold to the stupid dog Celestial Dragons, put the piles of Bailey in front of the marines and give them to them one by one!
Wait and shake hands one by one...
It's not that Luke has to win people's hearts in this way.
It's the trigger mechanism of the shrine...the sun fruit that requires Luke to contact specific people.
A few days later.
Under Spandam's strict supervision, several warships that meet the aesthetics of the Celestial Dragons were renovated.
But compared to the real luxury...
Luke's is an extreme showpiece.
The gold color is not pure gold, but a mixture of gold dust and copper. It's just shiny.
The rusty steel plates were not replaced with new ones. They were just rubbed off!
As for whether the skin is thin or not, and whether the crash resistance is good or not...
It's not your own car anyway, so why should I care about Luke?
They just make money without conscience!
