Chapter 400 Golden Tezoro
...
As the last day of the Haiyuan calendar year 1499 approaches, the festive atmosphere on the island becomes more intense.
The caravans returning from various places also brought back local specialties from many islands and countries and all kinds of strange and peculiar things.
There are also various shops operating in the Bird's Nest, mainly for the convenience of people living in the town, not for profit, so it has the richest and most complete goods and the lowest and cheapest prices.
Captain Gir humanely distributed money to everyone on the island so that they could buy New Year's goods in advance, including the little minks. Each of them received a lot of pocket money and had a ten-day holiday until after the New Year when they had to go back to school for classes and training.
Captain Gel did not restrict the freedom of the kids on the island. Usually they can move freely on the bird's nest. However, there are conditions for leaving the island. They must participate in training for more than one year and be at least 1 years old. Only children accompanied by adults can follow merchant ships to visit other countries.
Now the fleet of the Bula Chamber of Commerce is still very safe, and it basically "runs rampant" in this sea.
The pirates who were good at summarizing their experiences had also learned their lesson. They knew that the merchant ships were transporting goods and conducting trade between islands, so they would now try their best to avoid these main shipping routes to reduce the probability of encounters.
It would be a blessing if the merchant caravan didn't take the initiative to cause trouble for them. There were very few pirate ships that dared to attack the fleet. Occasionally, one or two ignorant and fearless novice pirates who had just entered the Grand Line from the four seas would be sunk by the abundant firepower before they could get close.
In addition, with mermaids and mermen escorting the ship, most of the time they can predict and avoid extreme weather such as sea storms in advance.
The main reason why adults are needed to accompany the kids when going out to sea is because someone is needed to look after the kids after they land on the island. Captain Gill feels that it is too much of a burden for zombie sailors, fish-man sailors, or Duffy warriors with strong limbs but simple minds to be babysitters.
...
On the beach, Weibull is doing squats with Lab on his back. The weight can be automatically adjusted from zero to hundreds of millions of tons. You can always find a weight that makes you feel comfortable. He is simply the dream cat of every weightlifting enthusiast.
Captain Gill still abides by the law and only plays one ball per person.
"Captain, since I didn't find you in the castle, I knew you must be fishing here again, haha."
Tezulo and Stella found Captain Ger who was fishing on the beach early in the morning.
"Ah, Tezoro Stella, it's you. What do you want to talk to me about?"
Captain Gel turned his head and asked with a pair of panda eyes and a haggard face.
"Hey, Captain, why are you like this? Are you feeling unwell?"
Stella hurried forward and touched Geer's forehead to see if he had a fever.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. I just got excited the day before yesterday and set a goal for myself that I would not stop broadcasting until I caught a big fish. As a result, I stayed up all night for two nights until now."
Gol said in a calm tone.
"Ah? Captain, what are you doing?"
After hearing this, Tezulo and the other man felt helpless.
"Captain, let me make you a cup of tea!"
Stella was about to go back when she spoke, but Geer hurriedly called her.
“No need to go back to get Stella, I have it here.”
Captain Gel said this and took out three teacups and a pot of hot tea, and brought stools for the two of them.
"Hurry up and pour the tea!"
Gur ordered.
Stella was about to go forward to pour tea, and didn't pay much attention to why Captain Gill spoke in such a commanding tone today. Perhaps he was in a bad mood because he couldn't catch any fish.
"Gululu!"
“Eh? This is.”
Before Stella even got started, she saw the teapot tilting its body by itself and pouring out the hot tea in the pot. The three teacups, although they didn't have legs, were able to jump and line up to receive the tea. After the first cup was full, it ran away by itself, and the second cup hurried over to get its fill. When the third cup was full, the teapot stopped pouring tea by itself.
"Hey, how about it? Interesting, right? This was given to me by a guest when I went to Cake Island a while ago. These tea sets are animated characters called Homies."
Captain Gul said proudly, like a child showing off a new toy to his friends.
"Come, sit down and have some tea!"
Gel said as he picked up a cup of tea himself.
"Please be careful with the heat~"
Teacup Homie reminded timidly.
The two of them picked up the teacups curiously and took a closer look. They found that there was a cute cartoon expression on the teacup, which could move and talk. It was very interesting.
"Wow, that's really interesting. If there are a lot of them, we can arrange them for the hotel in the entertainment city, which can save a lot of manpower."
Stella and Tezulo were amazed.
"We can only wait and see if there is a chance to buy it from the Charlotte family in the future."
Ger nodded.
"Ahem, by the way, Captain, the transformation of the entertainment city has been basically completed. According to the results of our previous discussion, there are 9-star hotels, luxury stores, food courts, and most importantly, the entertainment city, including casinos, arenas, auction halls, racetracks and other entertainment facilities. It has everything. It is definitely a huge den of money. All the rich people who come to the entertainment city will be lambs to be slaughtered. We can squeeze them dry as much as we want!"
Tezulo said happily that he couldn't wait to show his skills.
"Well, you are fully responsible for this matter. You can do it yourself. I will give you some start-up capital later. Don't be too anxious to make money. It doesn't matter if you don't make money or lose money in the early stage. Play the long game and fish for big fish. Build up your reputation and connections first. It's better to squeeze them all at once than to cut leeks. Cut them one after another, and the supply is inexhaustible! It's simply a green new energy source."
"That makes sense. I see."
"Also, when the time comes, we can ask Spandine to help us become a member country, so that it will be easier to do anything."
As usual, Geer gave some blind orders and then left the matter alone, saying, "I leave it to you!" as a conclusion.
"Okay Captain!"
Tezulo wrote them down one by one.
"By the way, Captain, what should we name this huge ship?"
Stella asked.
"What what name? Isn't it called the Golden Tezoro?"
Gel asked back with a puzzled look.
"Ah? Captain, how can you name it after me? If you want to call it something, it should be called the Golden Gor!"
Tezulo was flattered.
"Bullshit, just call it the Golden Tezoro. I'm used to it."
Gel waved his hand and made the decision.
"Captain Gul!"
After more than 20 years of wasting time, I finally met a wise leader! Tezulo was very excited. The captain’s kindness to him was like that of a reborn parent!
A great man like the captain should be the only king of this sea! Gilde Tesoro swore to the heavens that he would spend his whole life helping this man become the master of the world!
