Chapter 107

A few days later, Frankie had a conflict with someone in the city. A young nobleman was beaten by him because he laughed at Tom. When the sheriff arrived, Franky was arrested.

"Let me go, let me go quickly. I'm going to the South China Sea with Mr. Adam!"

"You kid, you're too arrogant. So what, you violated the security of the Seven Waters City, or you will get a beating or pay a fine. But you are so poor that you only have a pair of underwear and a top. For the sake of it, let’s just accept the beating.”

"Are you kidding me? I don't have any money?" He took out a handful of baileys from his coat pocket and smashed it directly into the face of the sheriff, and then he was taken away. The reason was suspected of stealing money.

In the interrogation room, the sheriff holds a whip.

"Tell me, kid, where did the money come from? Could it be that Tom embezzled the money to build the sea train?"

"Fart, you are not allowed to insult my boss Tom. This is a reward from Mr. Adam when he is in a good mood!"

"I am a great writer, and you are a little hooligan. To reward you with so much money, you are insulting my intelligence. I can't do it without giving you some color."

After that, he will use the whip.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Adam and Lord Nick are going to the South China Sea to do the sea train business! He will reward me if he gets rich."

Ga——What to do about this? The Sheriff is a little unsure. The names of a big writer and a big businessman are too loud. Forget it, just report it to me. It has nothing to do with me.

This report caused a big fuss. It's not about beating people, but the words that Adam wants to go to the South China Sea with Lord Nick to do the sea train business, coupled with Nick's recent handling of assets, gave people too much imagination.

Franky was finally taken back by Adam. It could be seen that Mr. Adam was very angry this time and kicked the blue-haired boy several times.

Back at the dock, both of them were smiling again.

"Mr. Noah, how was my performance? Isn't it super~~cool! I wanted to beat that stinky guy for a long time. He kept saying some disgusting things. This time, he hit me, but it was okay. Too It’s great.”

"Well done, Franky, you can almost be considered a true star."

"Um, are you complimenting me?"

"No." Bingshan calmly angered his good friend.

The two men began to struggle again. Tom laughed when he saw it. Fighting is nothing for boys on the sea.

"Mr. Noah, will Franky's move really have any effect?"

"There will definitely be. When it comes to things like making money, the noses of those big men are as good as those of maned dogs."

"But do you really want them involved?"

"Of course, building a sea train requires a lot of funds. You know this best. We have too many places to spend money, so we can only introduce more external funds.

As for whether they will interfere with the maritime train operating company, they will definitely do it. With such a big cake, how could they not take risks? Even a general-level combat power cannot deter them.

As long as you patiently cut off their tentacles, you can safely receive dividends for a few years, and wish them good luck when the full-scale war with the World Government begins in the future. "

Looking at Noah's gentle smile, Tom didn't know why a sentence came to his mind. Skilled hunters often appear as prey.

There are no secrets among the senior officials of the Seven Waters Capital. When Lord Nick came to the city hall, the mayor, several other nobles were all present, and they all looked at Nick with a livid face with a smile.

Chapter 230 The shortcomings and strategies of Zhuzi

There is no shortage of tricks and strategies!

Although this sentence does not exist in the original world of One Piece, this is Nick's inner thought.

That's it? You asked me to keep it secret, but you are still talking about it everywhere, spreading money, and paying back the image ambassador of the South China Sea Federation. Bah!

Now that I haven't earned any money, facing this situation is simply cruel to the extreme.

"Nick, I remember that you are also the backbone of our Seven Waters Capital Business Association. How can you still do such a thing? It shouldn't be, we are all old friends. Isn't it just a matter of making money? As a businessman, although It’s really understandable, everyone said, right?”

The yin and yang guy in front of him is Nick's old rival, the type who would use a knife if they were put in the same room. At least at this moment, if there is a knife in the hand, there will be blood.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's listen to what Nick has to say. Business is more important."

Alas~ It seems that this big cake cannot be saved. Lord Nick resisted the urge to vomit blood and told everyone about Adam and the South China Sea Federal Sea Train Company.

"Oh, contracted routes, huge dividends. No wonder you didn't talk about life or death the past few days, thank you for your hard work."

Nick thought to himself, I am too old, and there are many of you, so I will give you a punch no matter what today, it is so irritating.

Finally it was the mayor who spoke.

"Nick, if you think about it this way, how much can you do if you do it alone? The South China Sea is so big, and there are so many businesses, it's endless. Why don't we all get in touch with the South China Sea Federation and really make it bigger? ?”

"The mayor is right." "I think so too." "Business is indeed endless. I only want to understand this now."

A group of people wanted to vomit in a high-spirited manner. They are all gentlemen, but Nick is the only one in the emotional room who is a black-hearted businessman.

"Go and invite Mr. Adam here. It seems that we have underestimated the energy of this great writer before. By the way, prepare another generous gift and cannot neglect him."

The first half of the sentence was said to the staff, and the second half was said to Nick. Even if this matter is over for the time being, there is nothing wrong with eating alone. The only thing wrong is being discovered. Only Nick's injured world is achieved.

After knowing that the mayor asked him to discuss the matter, Noah breathed a sigh of relief. There was a high probability that it would happen. Lord Nick can only have a few taels of meat, and what he wants to eat is the entire top management of the Seven Waters City.

The reason why we took such a huge turn was because there was nothing we could do. That group of people may not be very smart, but they are not very stupid either. They may not bite the prey that is delivered to their door, but they can only trust it if they catch it themselves.

I walked slowly to the council hall and found that there were so many people there, even more so than at the dinner party that day. The magic power of money is still greater.

"Hello everyone, I wonder why so many people are needed to negotiate?"

No one spoke, everyone looked at Nick. Didn't you have a good conversation before? Let's continue.

Nick thought to himself that I didn't speak up, because such a shameful thing would require murder. The mayor, who still couldn't stand it, spoke up, feeling that none of these people could achieve anything.

"Mr. Adam, let's open the skylight and tell the truth. Can we participate in the South China Sea Federation's sea train plan?"

Pretending to be surprised, he looked at Lord Nick. Showing panic at how so many people knew about it.

Nick vomited blood. With your expression, you don't think it's because I leaked the news, do you? You don't know about the bad things your own little brother did?

"This... is not good. There are too many of you."

The mayor nodded and someone handed over a small note. After reading it.

"Can I think about it?"

Another note was handed over.

That’s fine. If you screw up if you continue to perform, it won’t be beautiful. Just give it up when it’s good.

"I've thought about it and I'll find a way. Leave it to me."

As expected, Mr. Adam is very reliable. As long as he is given enough money, he will do anything. Isn’t this more profitable than writing a book?

Haha, the trick of retreating in order to advance is indeed effective, the wisdom of our ancestors. Noah also sighed in his heart, the matter was done, the money was taken, a win-win situation. Meaning he won twice.

"Can you tell me what you think Mr. Adam has to say?"

"Let me think about it. Yes! The crux of the problem lies with that diplomat."

"diplomat?"

"Yes, he has a very profound background, and that general-level combatant is his teacher. So he also has a very high status within the South China Sea Federation.

As long as we explain it to him, we can join forces and tell him that the friendship between the Seven Waters Capital and the South China Sea Federation is higher than the sky and deeper than the sea. We can be brothers and establish formal diplomatic relations.

At the same time, the Federation is persuaded to cooperate directly with the Seven Rivers Capital in private. Of course, this cannot be said to the outside world. After all, these quotas for cooperative construction of train routes are reserved for the other 20 countries in the South China Sea to ease relations.

What do you think? "

What do we think? We think you are very good. The money is really worth it, and even the follow-up service is excellent.

"Gao Ming, directly transitioning from individuals to establishing diplomatic relations and friendship, this pattern is huge. Then please leave it to Mr. Adam."

"It's easy to say. But we definitely can't talk about the specific things now. We have to wait until Tom goes to Nanhai to inspect the environment on the spot. Then we will discuss how to build it, how much investment, and the construction period."

"Yes, yes, be rigorous and rigorous. Just leave these matters to Mr. Adam. He is worthy of being our eternal good friend in the Seven Waters. After the matter is completed, we will definitely have other expressions."

After sending Adam off with a smile, everyone returned to their seats again.

"This Adam is a bit quick-witted, but don't tell me, his method is really powerful."

"Haha. Now that he has collected so many things from us, he must be careful, otherwise the reputation of a well-known writer will be ruined."

Hahahahaha, a group of people laughed very happily. They are very good at using money to play with order.

Little do they know that they themselves are also prey in the eyes of others.

When Noah returned to the room, he called Terzog and told him about this matter. Terzog nodded repeatedly. As someone who had graduated early and worked at a core position in the revolutionary army, he was also very familiar with the current economic problems. Being able to attract such a large investment this time could be regarded as a solution to an urgent need.

As long as you have money, anything can be done easily. Nanhai is not short of manpower and materials, but it is short of money. First, put people from the Seven Waters Capital in, and then trick people from 20 countries into investing money, use the economy to kidnap them, and force them to join the South China Sea Federation's tank.

If they were still alive during the all-out war, they would definitely regret to the point of wanting to die, wondering how they had fallen into this evil trap.

Chapter 231 Chicken Soup Master

Two days later, Tezog first handed over the documents of diplomatic relations, allowing a force in the South China Sea to form an alliance with a force on the Grand Line.

There was another exchange of interests in private, and the specific investment in the sea train was discussed after Tom gave the budget after the inspection. But it basically means it’s stable.

Both parties felt they had made a huge profit. A white wolf with empty gloves is making a lot of money. One of the largest transportation projects involved in the South China Sea has also failed. It depends on who can have the last laugh.

After settling this major matter, Noah finally had time to hold a book signing. He had obviously prepared it before, but it was a pity that it had been delayed by these things.

It was still the same address as last time, and it still caused a sensation. Countless readers came to the Capital of Seven Waters to participate in this grand event. The navy still sent people, not the ones Noah knew well.

This is normal. The few people Noah knows are all top-notch strong men. Even if they are lieutenant generals, they are also veteran lieutenant generals, so there will be scenes and introductions in the original work. The person coming now is a student taught by General Zefa and has just been promoted to major general of the headquarters.

The attitude towards Noah is also very good. Thanks to Zefa's previous experience in the navy, the entire navy respects Noah's vest. After all, that sentence:

"A person's life should be spent like this: when he looks back on the past, he will not regret for wasting his years, nor be ashamed of being inactive; so that when he is dying, he can say: I have devoted my whole life Life and all energy are dedicated to the most magnificent cause in the world - the struggle for peace and justice in the sea."

But hanging in the office of Marshal of the Warring States Period, what is good for the superiors must not be good for the inferiors. The content was approved by the Warring States Marshal, and the books were recommended by General Zefa. Two admirals of the Navy and several powerful lieutenant generals are loyal readers.

Not to mention whether it really captures the righteousness of all naval admirals, but anyone who is a little bit ambitious should at least understand it.

I came here this time to have more interactions with writer Adam, to give me a small boost on my promotion path. Not only did Adam, the writer, rely on his status as marshal and admiral, but ordinary navy officers could also rely on his status as Adam.

The book signing ended with a lot of chatting and laughing. During this period, some readers asked several questions, which Noah found very interesting.

Reader 1: Why did Mr. Adam not continue writing works similar to "Water Margin" but instead changed to hot-blooded comics? Is this a step back? Or is it being suppressed by the world government like the rumors say?

"Slander, this is complete slander! There may be some insiders in the World Government who don't like my work a little bit, but no work can be liked by everyone, so some remarks have been made, Don't take it seriously.

And praise means nothing without criticism. Being tolerant of different voices is just an act of indifference. You see, I have maintained a good relationship with the top brass of the Navy, and they have no objections to my work. "

Reader 2: Mr. Adam, I like your works very much. I heard that you have written many plays for the Repertory Theater in Nanhai. I wonder if I will have the opportunity to see them in the Grand Line in the future.

"Yes. In fact, the South China Sea is just their first stop. In the future, this troupe will travel to every corner of the world and perform those stories for everyone."

Reader 3: Mr. Adam, you are now the ambassador of the South China Sea Federation. What do you think of the South China Sea Federation?

"Of course, the South China Sea Federation is a peace-loving country. Maybe the previous wars have made everyone's impression of it still remain on the battlefield. In fact, it is a very romantic country, a country full of freedom.

In the future, it will also become a prosperous country, a harmonious country, and a civilized country. "

There was thunderous applause at this time, and it was basically certain that this last reader was the one arranged by Tezog to take the opportunity to publicize the advantages of the South China Sea Federation to the outside world and prepare for the introduction of future talents.

After it was over, Noah had a meal with the rear admiral and gave him a new message before leaving.

"Working hard may not necessarily lead to success, but giving up will definitely lead to failure!"

It was an ordinary chicken soup article, but the other party was very touched, because the last person who received the message was Lieutenant General Huoshaoshan, which in itself represented a kind of optimism.

After seeing off the navy, Noah had finished all the things he had left in the Seven Waters Capital, and it was time to prepare for his return journey.

Tom Shipbuilding Company, the master and the apprentice are conducting various debugging and maintenance on the Voyager. Tom recognized the technological content of this ship, but there was indeed a problem with the combination, and he was making adjustments step by step.

Franky and Bingshan are fighting, and the children are very happy, especially Franky. For him, he will soon be able to leave here and go to the outside world. Although the Nanhai he returned to was his hometown, it was still very unfamiliar.

Bingshan is a little reluctant to give up. He has feelings for the City of Seven Waters. From the fact that he will eventually become the mayor, we know that he has been working hard for this city, even if it is building ships for the World Government.

After a day of adjustments, the Voyager returned to its previous refreshing state. This also means that they are leaving. Tom was talking to other boatmen about the subsequent laying of the sea train. He kept talking about it and took out a lot of drawings so that the people who took over could work as soon as possible. It was a lot of thought.

After all, the main purpose of leaving the Seven Waters Capital now is to save his life.

After the handover, he went to sort out his things, but there was nothing. There was nothing except some construction drawings and materials for so many years. Iceberg is similar, with food and accommodation at the dock, all in one small package.

Franky...the pervert basically has no clothes. But there are many things. There were a bunch of pirated comic books, and a lot of gizmos from the past years, all stuffed into the package. Bingshan couldn't be persuaded at all, and it seemed that he was going to be embarrassed and thrown into the South China Sea this time.

One day later, Tezog came to formally complete the formalities with the judgment document from Judiciary Island. Tom served three years in Nanhai instead, so the official formalities were completed.

They said their final goodbyes to the people from Tom Shipbuilding Company and boarded the ship early. There will be other people seeing him off soon, and it will be awkward for them to show up at the scene.

Sure enough, after a while, the entire upper class of the Seven Waters City gathered at the dock to see off the two representatives of the South China Sea Federation.
