Chapter 459: I don't know my own financial resources
...
"Captain Gel, the Bra Chamber of Commerce made a total profit of 3215 billion Baileys last month."
"What? How much?"
"3215 billion! Bailey!"
"Oh my god, how can it be so much? Didn't I tell you to lower your profits a little bit?"
Gur asked doubtfully.
"It has been reduced, Captain, but the small profit margin will make it more popular!"
"In the past, a cargo ship could make a profit of 1 million Baileys per trip, but now it has dropped to about half of the original amount. However, we have more than 3000 ships. On average, a ship can make two or three trips a month. You can do the math yourself. This alone has exceeded 4000 billion Baileys. Moreover, this does not include Daxiong's Today's Express. He can replace 2000 cargo ships by himself, but you said it yourself, Captain. Although we don't have so many fixed-site cargoes that need Daxiong to deliver, we still have the carrying capacity to replace 6225 cargo ships, which is another billion Baileys in profit! So the total for last month was billion Baileys!"
Mosan explained with a look of grievance.
"Ah this..."
Captain Gel, who had not paid attention to the company's development for a long time, was almost shocked. He knew that he was rich, but he didn't expect that he would be so rich!
"Um... didn't I tell you to spend as much money as possible when you make it?"
Gel touched his nose to hide his embarrassment and tried to make small talk.
"It's been spent, Captain. Didn't I just calculate it? 3215 billion is the leftovers. If we hadn't gone on a shopping spree and spent 3010 billion on all kinds of goods that we could use and couldn't use, we would have had more than 6 billion left over last month!"
"And this is already the limit, Captain Gir. We can't buy any more. If we buy more, we will have to buy out all the smaller countries!"
Mosan said with a wry smile.
"Ah this..."
"But fortunately, our high-profit commodities are all high-end goods and luxury goods that are popular with royal relatives, nobles, wealthy merchants, and tycoons, while raw materials, local specialties, handicrafts, etc. are mostly purchased from ordinary people, so we have not exhausted all resources to destroy the local market economy."
Knowing what Captain Gel was worried about, Mosan explained in advance.
"That's good!"
Although Geer appeared calm on the surface, he was actually very happy inside.
I can make hundreds of billions a month. If I put these Baileys into the system and then use Vegapunk's money printing machine to print out an equal amount of Baileys, the in and out is equivalent to making a lot of money in free. I am really a genius. I can never spend all this money!
"The profits from daily necessities can be further reduced. As for where to spend money, increase the investment in scientific research for Vegapunk and let him work harder to spend more money!"
Gelhao is inhumane.
"Captain, I think we can reduce the supply of low-cost goods, build some factories locally, purchase raw materials, and hire local civilians to produce. This will not only increase the production cost of our products, but also allow us to spend some money in the form of wages. This will not only allow civilians to increase their income and live a better life, but also allow us to reduce profits. It's a win-win situation!"
Mosan suggested.
As a businessman who should be thinking about how to squeeze out as much profit as possible, he was a little embarrassed to hear what nonsense he was saying.
"Wow! That sounds great! Great! Then let's do as you say!"
Gur affirmed.
"There's also the development of the Golden City - spend money! ... There's also the development of the newspaper - spend money! From now on, newspapers will cost 10 Baileys per copy from Monday to Friday, and on weekends, we'll give customers 50 Baileys per copy as a bonus."
Gel said casually.
"Nani? Young Master? Did I hear you right?"
Morganse asked with his eyes wide open.
This is the first time I heard of someone doing business at a loss like this, but when I think about it carefully, if I can really do what Young Master Gel said, my newspaper will definitely sell well and successfully stand out from the circle, and my credibility and influence will increase rapidly!
"Of course I'm not kidding, just take it as a thank you for your support (it's hard work reading!)..."
"Ah this..."
Seeing that the birdman Morgans was still thinking, Gel added.
"Don't worry, just limit each person to one copy, and we can decide whether to sell on weekends and how many copies to sell. What are you afraid of?"
"I understand! You are worthy of being Young Master Gel! You really enlightened me!"
Morgans said excitedly.
"By the way, Mosan, the revolutionary army can also be supported with a little more supplies. Their lives must be very tight, otherwise there wouldn't be any improvement after so long. I'm really worried!"
Gel said whatever he thought of. Anyway, with Mosan around, he would arrange everything.
"Okay Captain!"
"By the way, Ginny, you can also help spend more money to continue to expand the intelligence network."
Ger looked around but didn't see Ginny.
"Hmm? Where's Ginny?"
"Baji, baji! I'm here, Captain. What can I do for you?"
Ginny, who had snuck off to the back to eat a snack with Weeble, raised her hand and shouted.
"I'm sorry Captain Gel, I'll tell her the mission later."
Daxiong hurriedly apologized on behalf of his wife.
"Bear, you really should say sorry to me."
"Hmm? Captain?"
Seeing the captain's serious expression, Big Bear couldn't help but be stunned, not knowing what he had done wrong.
Gel looked up at the fool and continued.
"Where are your two children? You said you would complete the task this year? How long has it been? How come there is no movement at all? Look at Mo Sang and Fu Ni's child, he is almost one year old!"
"Ah...this..."
Faced with Captain Gir's urging, Big Bear blushed and didn't know how to answer.
"Ahem! Captain, it's just that I'm almost a month pregnant, not almost a year old."
Fanny put her hands on her flat belly and smiled to smooth things over. The kind smile on her face radiated maternal radiance.
"Haha, that's about right. He'll be one year old when he's born. By the way, have you decided on a name?"
Ger asked, scratching his head.
I thought that because of my influence, they would have gotten married and had children two or three years earlier, but I didn't know if they could have a daughter.
The daughter of the president of the Bra Chamber of Commerce, she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, a real Miss Kaya! She is also a princess.
...
Feeling that this long journey might take a long time, Gel explained everything he could think of in one breath.
"Snapped!"
"Okay, that's about it. Anyway, the rear area is left to you. You can discuss other matters with the others."
As he was talking, Gel suddenly felt something was strange. It was as if he was setting a flag for his own death. He quickly clapped his hands and said the closing remarks.
"Okay! Captain Gur!"
Everyone responded in unison.
Gel threw away the apple core he had been holding in his hand for half a day.
"Then let's talk about this operation..."
"Hehehehe! Finally...!"
Moriah grinned expectantly.
Barrett, who had been resting with his arms crossed and his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes.
Barrett was no longer wearing his dark green military uniform, but a cooler black sleeveless leather jacket. He lowered his hands, revealing the hideous cross scar on his chest, which was the scar left by his battle with the legendary pirate Golden Lion. Although Crocus had a special scar removal medicine, he refused to take it.
Ajin and Senior also turned sideways to look at Captain Gir who was sitting in the main seat.
Although Jinbei and Arlong knew that they were not strong enough and should not have the opportunity to go with them, they were still full of expectations.
For several people, what the captain was going to say next was the serious business.
"Our goal this time is to take over Wano Country in the New World!"
Gol said in a calm tone.
"Okay Captain!"
The battle maniacs nodded and shouted when they heard this. Even if the captain said that he would capture Marijoa, they would not be surprised. They would probably just smile even more brightly.
No one would ask such boring questions as why and how. Several people straightened their backs and listened attentively, hoping that they would be among the people the captain would bring this time!
