Chapter 239 Competitors
After recuperating for a while, Cui Ke finally traveled back to the time point of the time travel with the help of Tian Yue Shi's ability.
Trek sent Bell-Mel back to Cocosia Village first.
"Nojigo!" Bellmère ran home impatiently, and as soon as he saw Nojigo, he rushed over and hugged him tightly.
"Cough cough cough! Stop it, Trek." Nojigo was hugged by Bell-mère and blushed a little. After all, she knew that Trek had the ability to transform. She had seen it last time when she and Nami were turned into children.
But this guy turned into Bellmère again and took advantage of me. What did that mean? Did he have any ideas about me?
Although he is Nami's brother, and we are a family, are you trying to deepen the relationship? From brother to brother-in-law?
Bellmère was so excited that he didn't notice Nojigo's address.
Noqi was speechless because the other party didn't let go and kept face to face, so she pinched Belle-mère's face and teased: "Trek, even if you have that intention, you can just hug me. Sister can also give you a kiss, but please don't become like Belle-mère."
"Cough cough cough!" Trek followed in and heard Nojigo's words. He felt a little embarrassed. This sister was too open.
Tian Yueshi covered his face, not knowing what to say, while Luna held Tian Yueshi's hand and looked at everyone curiously.
When Nojigo saw Trick coming in from behind, his eyes widened instantly and he thought to himself, "Trick is there, then who is the person holding me?" Nojigo's brain suddenly froze.
"You stupid girl! What nonsense are you talking about!" Bellemeier slapped Nokigo's mischievous hand away and cursed. She knew Nokigo was mature, but she didn't expect him to be so open-minded.
"You, you, you are the real Bell-mère! Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Nojigo buried the person with his own hands.
"It's a long story. In short, I traveled back in time to rescue her. You can ask Bellmère for the details yourself when the time comes." Trick explained.
"Travel through time? You are really Bell-mère, and you are still the same as you were back then, you haven't changed at all." Nojigo discovered that Bell-mère had not aged since he died, and that Trek had some strange things, so it was not impossible for him to go back to the past to save people.
The mother and daughter immediately start a sentimental scene where they express their longing for each other.
Trek did not disturb them and took the opportunity to visit the development of the guild base. He felt that everything was on the right track. The oranges from the orange orchard were also made into canned food, candy and other products, which could prevent scurvy and were very popular. The economic situation in Cocosia Village was much better.
If you want to be rich, you must first build roads. In the world of One Piece, if you want to be rich, you must open logistics routes. The adventure groups of the Adventure Guild are like shops on a trading platform. They compete with each other. Logistics prices are generally compressed to a very low level, and logistics speeds are also stretched to the extreme.
Generally, there are two models. One is within the guild system, with a basic salary and five insurances and one fund, but the platform's commission is relatively high.
The other type is outside the establishment and has no guarantees, but the platform takes a low commission, basically just a channel fee.
Adventurers can choose according to their own needs. Apart from the basic establishment, those who are in urgent need of money or have entrepreneurial ambitions, those who have families to support and seek stability will generally take the exam. However, one still needs to reach a certain level and credibility before applying for formal establishment.
Things are a bit competitive in the East China Sea now. Pirates are almost extinct here, and most escort missions are a test of navigation ability. Whoever delivers quickly and cheaply will get the business.
Several adventure groups have directly developed into a pure logistics model, specifically recruiting students who graduated from the New East China Sea and retired navigators from the navy.
Many other adventure groups are developing clients in the Grand Line and the Three Seas. Now, except for the New World, adventure guilds can be seen everywhere, just like the saturation of domestic e-commerce and the need to engage in cross-border e-commerce.
While thinking about the current situation, Trek felt a softness.
"I really don't know how to thank you, Brother Trek!" Nojigo suddenly appeared and hugged Trek who was inspecting the guild.
Although they only met briefly last time, Trek not only destroyed the Arlong Pirates and saved Nami and everyone, but also developed the Cocosia Village, making everyone's life prosperous.
This time, he unexpectedly rescued his adoptive mother. In Nojigo's heart, Trek is like an omnipotent savior.
Trek was hooked by the neck, which made him feel a little uncomfortable, especially his face was squeezed by the huge object and he didn't know where to put his hands.
"No need to thank me, we are all family! Uh! Huh! Uh!" Trek was having trouble breathing.
Nojigo kissed Trick on the forehead directly, but his ears turned red instead.
"This guy is really a love saint!" Tian Yueshi complained in his heart with a sour feeling.
Trek felt the touch on his forehead and was a little overwhelmed. Nojigo was not in his plan, although she was indeed very beautiful and sexy.
Fortunately, Nojigo let go before Trek was suffocated to death, and then talked about the recent business landscape.
As the president's godsister, Nojigo is also one of the guild's top leaders and knows a lot of information.
Two powerful new competitors have emerged, Bubble Guild and Golf Club.
The Bubble Guild is a professional underwater logistics company, and most of its members are fishmen. Trek guessed that this was probably Kaya's own team, and that the Bubble Guild's business in the New World was rapidly eroding the former transportation giant by relying on its advantages in underwater logistics. Doflamingo and the King of Shipping, Giberson, were strongly impacted.
In particular, the business of the Giberson Grand Line is not only fought over by the Adventure Guild in the Paradise section, but also squeezed by the Bubble Guild in the New World section.
The Adventure Guild is okay. Although the other party has a power-boosting device, the cost is high and the impact on Kiberson is acceptable.
But facing the real deep ocean currents known as the "deep ocean currents", the Bubble Guild really had no chance of success. The New World was the territory of the Four Emperors, and danger was everywhere. With the help of the submarine ocean currents, the Bubble Guild crushed the Giberson in terms of transportation speed and safety.
The golf club has a world government background. The club specializes in acquiring shares, building ports, and engaging in financial lending business. It is definitely a big capital.
The golf club has invested in many of the guild's registered non-staff adventure groups. It feels like poaching in disguise, and you can't do anything about it.
The main operations and logistics channels are undertaken by adventure groups and adventure guilds.
The golf club has invested heavily in these fleets in a diversified manner. As long as the overall business is profitable, accidents involving individual fleets will not have much impact. This already has the prototype of a modern joint-stock company. All they have to do is wait for the money to be divided. This is the power of capital. The Tianlong people still have too deep a foundation.
The loan shark king Duffield recently had a dispute with the golf club. He originally wanted to make a move, but he found out that it was actually the power of the Celestial Dragons. In the end, he could only compete through commercial means.
The most profitable ones are still in finance. The entire investment idea of the golf club is to use finance to control the world's trade.
Not only the former underground emperor, but the Adventure Guild also felt tremendous pressure. They originally wanted to infiltrate and bind the World Government, but the other party launched a counter-infiltration.
In fact, when the guild was founded, it was the only dominant one. Although there were some imitators, their strength was generally not significant.
The Bubble Guild later rose to prominence thanks to the support of salvaging a large amount of underwater treasures and resources, and with the inherent advantages of the murlocs, it had sufficient capital.
The golf club has the support of the Celestial Dragons, who control all the gold in the world and have even more capital.
The two companies rose faster than the Adventure Guild. The Adventure Guild started out by integrating resources, while these two companies simply invested money and relied on powerful forces behind them.
Needless to say, the Celestial Dragons are almost invincible on the sea, and the fishmen from Fishman Island are almost invincible after Kaya's epic strengthening. No one wants to provoke a fishman who can drill a few holes in your ship.
If it weren't for the establishment of a good business environment and credibility for the mermen, the mermen would now directly start plundering mode and all ocean shipping would be shut down.
