Chapter 419: Meeting
Lei Luo turned around and pointed to Karman.
“All right, big businessman, nagging isn’t your style. Come, let’s get down to business. Let me introduce our new member, Lord Karman.”
“Oh? You’re Lord Karman?”
Morton’s eyes widened slightly after hearing Lei Luo’s introduction, and his body leaned forward automatically.
“That’s right.”
Karman’s body seemed a little stiff. It could be seen that he had no experience dealing with strangers who were interested or had a good impression of him.
“I heard a friend of mine in the seventh province mention that back in the free sea, he was attacked by a huge pirate fleet. It was Lord Karman who fought with less than a third of the fleet and chased away the pirate fleet, ensuring his safety.”
Just like Satan’s Wings, the Free Seas was also one of the empire’s three great pirate bases.
“That pirate fleet was only about a hundred heavy ships. It couldn’t be considered huge. At that time, I was only leading a team to pass by. There wasn’t any fierce battle. We only had a little contact, and the other party was afraid of King Beichen’s deterrence and automatically retreated.”
Hearing Karman’s words, Morton glanced at Lei Luo from the corner of his eye. His meaning was very clear.
“Why is the person you brought here so inconsiderate?”
Lei Luo smiled awkwardly and leaned over to Morton’s ear.
“That’s his problem.”
“How did you poach King Beichen’s subordinate?” Morton also leaned over to Lei Luo’s ear and asked quietly.
“I didn’t poach them. I picked them up.”
“Even a commander like that has to be picked up? Then hurry up and pick up a few more tomorrow.”
Lei Luo and Morton stood there whispering to each other for more than a minute.
It wasn’t until Allie couldn’t stand it anymore that she raised her hand to her mouth and coughed a few times.
Only then did the two of them stop whispering.
Lei Luo walked back to Carlman’s side and said,
“Come, let me introduce you. This is Morton, one of the members of Blue Ocean Guild. He is also our future chief financial officer.”
“Hello.”
Karman’s attitude towards Morton was so good that even Lei Luo felt a little jealous. He actually took the initiative to extend his hand to Morton.
“It’s done. There’s no need to stand on ceremony here. Let’s hurry to the meeting hall to discuss business. We don’t have much time now.”
As Lei Luo spoke, he turned to the two bodyguards behind Morton and said, “Immediately inform Commander Zha Mu to come to the meeting hall.”
The meeting held in the meeting hall began with Lei Luo giving everyone present a contract card.
The way Lei Luo divided the voting rights surprised Allie and Zha Mu.
“Isn’t my voting rights a little too high?”
Allie was the first to speak.
“Those who take advantage of me will be secretly happy.”
As Lei Luo spoke, he turned around to look at Zha Mu, who opened his mouth to speak, but it was clear that he didn’t know if he should say it or not.
“All the supplies and replenishment of the Grizzly Pirates are converted into guild costs. This 10% is purely a dividend right, you didn’t suffer a loss.”
After the first sentence and the second paragraph, Lei Luo blocked Allie and Zha Mu.
As Lei Luo’s most trusted partner, these plans were all the results of the discussion between Lei Luo and Morton.
On the way back, Lei Luo and Karman had already discussed it, so neither of them had any objections.
With this, in less than 100 words of discussion, blue ocean trading group’s voting rights were decided.
Next, Lei Luo used about ten minutes to explain the specific distribution of the guild’s rights and benefits.
Regarding these distribution, Morton and Lei Luo had repeatedly discussed it during their series of long-distance communications.
They had fully considered the feelings of all sides. Thus, basically, Lei Luo read the whole way and didn’t have much to discuss.
Around 12-13 minutes later, everyone signed the contract for Blue Ocean Trading Group.
Although it was a democratic process, in reality, Lei Luo was the only one talking to himself, and the situation was set in stone.
Because his mind was filled with too many things, Lei Luo didn’t pay much attention to the expressions of everyone in the meeting room.
Thus, Zha Mu’s thick eyebrows expressed dissatisfaction.
Karman’s slightly raised mouth showed a smug expression, but none of these entered his line of sight.
As for Casa, who was not qualified to enter the conference room, the malicious gaze from outside the conference room did not catch Lei Luo’s attention.
Lei Luo was too busy. His mind was filled with all kinds of grand plans and ingenious schemes.
As for these details that did not seem too obvious at the moment, he really did not have time to consider them.
After seeing everyone sign the contract, Lei Luo hurriedly announced the next agenda of the meeting—military and economic deployment.
“After cleaning and maintenance, we still have a total of 102 heavy cruisers, 116 cruisers, 204 destroyers, and 250 frigates that we can still use. “We’ve replenished all kinds of ammunition and ship parts. Apart from that, we’ve ordered 80 heavy battleships, 120 battleships, 500 heavy cruisers, 300 cruisers, 800 destroyers, and 1,000 frigates. We bought all these ships from the 16th province, which has the least amount of war and the lowest price of warships. After deducting the cost of transporting and replenishing all kinds of ammunition, the total is about 30 million gold coins. I was informed yesterday that all of these ships will arrive in our city tomorrow night. During this period of time, in order to adapt to the situation of rapid expansion, we have recruited all kinds of pirates, wandering soldiers, and East God’s old troops on a large scale. So far, the total number of troops we have has already exceeded four million, of which 400,000 are heavy armor soldiers from East God, and have very strong ground-breaking abilities. The remaining 3.6 million, 1.5 million, are ground-based security maintenance troops. In essence, they are equal to security. Basically, they are the security forces that took over the former Holy City of Beauty. These people’s combat ability is extremely low, and they can only maintain security. The remaining 2.1 million are all combat troops, which is about 1.6 million ship-operating soldiers. The ground assault force is 500,000. Among them, about 800,000 are all kinds of pirates, including the Grizzly Pirates. The other 1,000,000 are the former troops of East God. The remaining 300,000 are wandering soldiers from all over the world. Among all our soldiers, including the current commander of the Grizzly Pirates, about 4,000 of us are qualified to be the minimum commander. The Grizzlies’ pension, plus the recruitment fee for all, costs about five million gold coins.”
