Chapter 1148 Golden Cooperation
Gild Tesoro's originally bad mood was gradually smoothed out through friendly exchanges with Crocodile. Communicating with smart people saves a lot of time and is very efficient.
Although the desert country is not rich in resources, has little rainfall all year round, and ordinary people struggle to make ends meet, it does not mean that this country has no potential.
Although the Golden Emperor, who is an expert in prospecting, has never been to the Desert Kingdom for investigation, he guesses that there are probably a large number of mineral deposits underground beneath the yellow sand.
Gild Tesoro can sense the gold in a place, and through the ability of his fruit, he can peel the gold from the ground and bring it back to the surface intact.
Mastering the ability to find and mine gold, Gilder Tesoro and his men went around the world prospecting for mines in the early days. When he was not yet successful, he opened mines privately and stole the wealth of other countries on a small scale.
After the primitive accumulation was completed, with the permission of the Celestial Dragons, they began to cooperate with the nobles of the member countries and share the gold with them, with the Golden Emperor receiving the largest share.
In just over a decade, Gild Tesoro became almost the richest man in the world, with gold reserves that even the Celestial Dragons could not match.
Berry claims to own 20% of the world's gold, but that is an underestimation of gold and the gold emperor. Precious metals have a cross-era value preservation ability.
As the authority of the Celestial Dragons weakened, paper money like that issued by Berry became less and less valuable, and its purchasing power became weaker and weaker, causing some people to complain.
However, the more unstable the economy is, the more valuable gold is in this market. Gilder Tesoro's net worth has started to grow round by round with the performances of Tianmu after another.
"Then I wish us a happy cooperation"
"I hope that barren country can bring me more surprises"
Gild Tesoro and Crocodile, as the decision-makers of the two parties, shook hands and reached a cooperation agreement. This formal meeting was recorded by a reporter with a camera.
Later, this photo might be published in Morgans’ newspaper and attract some attention from the outside world.
However, there were so many famous and powerful people present that the shutter buttons of the cameras were almost worn out and rolls of film were used one after another. It was the beginning of a grand event and also a carnival for the news industry.
Morgans monopolized the news industry and participated in injecting funds into the construction of large auction venues in exchange for the right to interview and photograph important occasions.
Reporters and photographers of various races wandering around the venue were all employed by Birdman, and would bring their films to the newspaper office to collect their wages afterwards.
Morgas is not a stingy bird. If a photo is eye-catching, the photographer will be given a high bonus to encourage them to continue taking risks and take photos. This is to achieve wealth and fame through risk!
Some people with poor photography skills will also receive part of the basic salary. Morgans doesn't care about wasting this money. Compared with the money from selling newspapers, the money wasted on cameras and film consumables is a drop in the bucket.
"Yamato, this auction really attracted a lot of people. The advertisement in the news before played a big role."
Morganse stood among the guests, speaking in his hoarse voice. As a newspaper tycoon, the wealthy nobles paid little attention to him.
Only the Celestial Dragons and the pirates hated Morganus so much that they wanted to snatch Birdman's news agency. However, Birdman was very cunning and was able to escape danger every time.
This just proves that someone kept tipping off the birdman, letting him know the capture and encirclement plan in advance. Every time he showed up somewhere, there were always several safe channels for him to escape.
Yamato stood gracefully beside the birdman, her expensive white haute couture evening gown fitting her body softly like flowing moonlight.
The dress is exquisitely cut, perfectly outlining her slender waist and proud curves. Every fold seems to contain the designer's ingenuity, showing luxury and elegance.
Her long hair fell on her shoulders like a waterfall, with slightly curled ends, giving her a lazy look.
Under the exquisite makeup, a pair of bright eyes sparkle like stars, revealing confidence and calmness.
The high nose bridge and rosy lips make up an impeccable face, and the temperament of a great beauty is fully displayed in her.
People around cast astonished glances at her, some ladies looked at her with envy, and some men looked at her with admiration.
This was the first time that the Son of Kaido appeared on such an occasion. The haute couture dress she wore was something the Godfather strongly urged her to wear. A woman should look like a woman.
Morgans wants to explore the charm of Yamato. Natural beauty is the real beauty. The natural gender cannot be ignored. It is a heretical way to raise a woman as if she were a man.
Ordinary people couldn't recognize Yamato in the way she was dressed. Some male guests were attracted by her beauty and approached her with wine glasses in hand, wanting to talk about love with the beautiful woman.
The result for lustful people is the same: they all receive Yamato's cold face and become the focus of some people's attention, which makes Yamato psychologically uncomfortable, as if every inch of his skin is constantly being scrutinized by countless pairs of eyes.
Before, Yamato had always lived a life of fighting and killing. Pirates have no connections. When they attend such upper-class gatherings, they will only eat meat, drink and play with women, without any spiritual enjoyment.
"If we get the broadcasting rights for today's event, we will probably make several times the money." Yamato was still not used to the atmosphere of the party and was still a little nervous inside. She could only adapt slowly.
Even if she leaves her godfather in the future and learns how to deal with people, she can help Yamato in the future and help women avoid detours.
The Beasts Pirates' rule over Wano Country is too brutal. The carrot and stick approach may be okay if used once or twice, but if used too often it may have the opposite effect.
Morgans paid a high price to obtain the broadcasting rights, and both the ribbon-cutting ceremony and the internal auction process will be broadcasted uniformly and free of charge.
As long as you have a camera-phone, you can watch the live broadcast in real time. Even if you are not present, you can still participate in this grand auction in disguise and promote the influence of the underworld to the whole world.
The Celestial Dragons withdrew their personnel back to the Holy Land, and the navy garrison returned to the headquarters. The vacant land will naturally be occupied, and the Sabaody Archipelago has been essentially controlled by the underworld forces.
Even if the pirates infiltrate the Sabaody Archipelago, they have no hard power and no strong financial resources, so they cannot interfere in the specific affairs of the Sabaody Archipelago. No matter how many people and money come, they will be absorbed by the local forces.
Never underestimate the corrosive power of money. Any noble qualities will be knocked down by years of money offensive and eventually become an informant for the underworld.
The Celestial Dragons let go of the Sabaody Archipelago in order to reduce the cost of controlling the world. There are too many monsters in this world, and sometimes they are unable to take care of themselves, so it is better to share power and continue to maintain their fragile rule.
Allowing other forces to join the Tianlong people's camp and maintain the existing world order will do more good than harm to the Tianlong people.
