Pirate Kingship

"International port? Sale of port land within a time limit? Are you serious?

So, even a small force like us, the Remites, without a national body, can obtain a piece of land as a stable rear to boldly attack Yucatan? "

After hearing Byron's words, Michael suddenly became excited.

They, the Remit businessmen who reported to the group for warmth, had their own information channels, and at most they were only slightly lagging behind the officials of various countries.

Without Byron having to say everything, he immediately realized what a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity he had in front of him.

‘Originally, the Tayman Islands were a colony exclusively belonging to the Kingdom of Hattings, and more than three hundred kilometers to the southeast was their royal colony, Jamestown.

The Castilians dare to seize an island as an advance base for the invasion of the Taya Empire, but we don't have the strength.

Now the people of Hetings have taken the initiative to open the port, which is equivalent to converting the entire island from wholesale to retail, so that we Remit people can also get a place.

Even if you just build a branch office, it is very cost-effective to enjoy the public facilities of the port. ’

As if he knew what Michael was thinking, Byron led him to a wooden noticeboard covered with red cloth.

"I think you, like me, have been looking for a house for a lifetime, a place to make a fortune, and today it's here!"

With a gentle wave, the red cloth fell from the notice board.

A coastal planning area painted with colorful paint on the exposed wooden board.

This was built overnight before they set off for the "blind date" in the royal colony, and it came in handy in advance.

"Mr. Michael, this is the much-anticipated first phase of the Georgetown International Port project. Don't ask me about the landing price, because the future is priceless."

“It covers an area of ​​one kilometer, with mountains on its back and the sea on its back, and the scenery is beautiful.”

“Bordered to the colonial zone to the east and Yucatan to the west, the location is unique.”

"Resident at the Pioneer Pilot Colonial Trading Company, two thousand elite pirates are under personal protection. Security is in place to protect you!"

Byron stared into the eyes of the profiteers and uttered the last big words:

"The most important thing is that land resources are limited and short-term demand is unlimited. Buy it today and appreciate it tomorrow!"

"appreciation?"

Suddenly hearing the keyword, two rays of golden light visible to the naked eye appeared in the eyes of Michael, the gold element sequence [golden eye].

Behind them, [Treasure Guard] James, who had stopped fighting with Bruch, did the same.

Although the other advantages are very good, "appreciation" is a fatal factor that directly hits the key points of the gold and yuan sequence.

Seeing their true instinctive reactions, Byron knew in his heart that today's first transaction was completed.

"Mr. Michael, don't say that your old friend doesn't take care of you, you have really caught up with the good times.

We have just started planning land plots. In the first batch, we have only released less than 100 plots of land, each of 1,000 square meters, scattered in the dock area, warehouse area, office area, and residential area.

All land enjoys freehold property rights and only needs to pay a negligible annual land tax.

After purchasing, you can take our building planning manual and build the corresponding building yourself according to the standards, or you can entrust it to our construction team.

The current policy is to limit purchases to three yuan per household.

So, with your financial resources, I will now arrange to give you a piece in the residential area, office area, and warehouse area? "

In his previous life, Byron struggled alone and experienced a lot. He summed up two key points when forcing a trade.

First, let customers take multiple-choice questions instead of short-answer questions;

Second, don’t stupidly ask others whether to buy or not to buy, but ask whether to buy more or not!

Michael's heart was already racing. Hearing these words was like a shot of chicken blood. He couldn't wait to grab Byron's hand and said urgently:

"Where is the contract document? The purchase limit is three yuan? Then give us three yuan from Golden Palm Company immediately!"

As soon as Byron turned his head, Miss Catherine, the financial officer who had arrived after hearing the news, immediately handed over a contract document that had been faired by the "Silver Law".

The first transaction was completed with an average price of two pounds per square meter and a total price of six thousand pounds.

Both parties to the transaction had satisfied smiles on their faces, and everyone was happy.

"Mr. Governor, it's a pleasure to work with you."

“Happy to work with!”

The profiteer Michael successfully grabbed high-quality assets with both practical value and investment attributes.

The profiteer Byron got another scapegoat who brought his own food.

And one square kilometer can be divided into a thousand such plots.

He said that the first phase only cost less than 100 yuan, but he did not say that the second and third phases could not be allocated another 100 yuan, or even 200 yuan, right?

The method of covering the disk to be developed has been learned long ago even if it is just watching.

Looking at the happy creditor in front of him, Byron turned around and prepared to write his classic battle examples into the employee training manual of the real estate department of his trading company:

"When you meet a creditor in a foreign country, ask him to invest more"

"Three words, let the profiteer spend six thousand for me"

"Want to be my bodyguard?" Gotta pay! 》

In fact, this can be regarded as another form of "anchoring".

He who has perseverance has perseverance.

After you build a house, you need to send people to move in, right? Do you want to live and consume? Do you want to build supporting facilities? Are you going to hire people? Do you want to pay taxes to my Governor's Mansion? .

As long as enough money is invested in this island and sufficient sunk costs are incurred, a solid anchor will be formed that is difficult to let go.

When in the future it reaches the point where they will have to line up to go to the rooftop once their investment is wasted, the deep binding of interests between the two parties will be completely completed.

“When I owed hundreds of thousands to the bank, I could only act like a grandson.

But if one day I am qualified to owe banks and creditors billions, I can immediately turn over and become a grandfather.

They were all afraid that I might accidentally make a mistake and turn this investment and debt into a bad debt.

At that time, we will no longer be stinky beggars that everyone looks down upon, but noble debtor fathers.

The whole world will be delighted when hearing my joy, angry when hearing my anger, and will dance with me together! "

"Besides, I have only used one move, 'cover the plate', and I haven't used any other big killers like pre-sale system, public stall, etc. Well, let's forget about these."

Although Byron is a lawful evil pirate, he always feels more guilty if he does such a thing than just robbery.

"The brave are angry and draw their swords against the stronger; the timid are angry and draw their swords against the weaker.

I feel at ease when I go to trick those Remites who eat people without spitting out their bones, as well as the major powerful countries. The more I trick, the more capable I am.

But since it is known as the evil dragon of the sea, the blade only targets the strong. "

Thinking of this, he did not forget to tell Catherine who was happily counting a dozen bank deposit certificates behind him:

“Sister, add one item to the welfare in the territory, we need to provide basic housing for the permanent settlers at the bottom of the island.

The conditions may not be very good, but problems can be solved from scratch first.

If you want better conditions in the future, just fight for them with both hands, but it won’t be without basic public welfare to support you. "

Although Catherine felt a little distressed about the gold coins she had just received and was still warm, she would never refuse Byron's request.

"Okay, I will set up a housing security department when I return to the Governor's Mansion later and allocate a budget to them."

The other end.

Michael, who has become a wealthy family on the island, has sent a considerable number of people to start leveling the land and carrying out construction.

They even drove a large number of indentured slaves from the Old World on board the ship to help.

It was clear that he didn't want to waste even a day.

It wasn't until the slave ship returned and was getting farther and farther away from the port that a deputy carefully reminded Michael:

"Mr. Michael, I was originally here to collect debts. Is it really okay to invest all the working capital and slaves given to us by the company into this island?

Once it is watered down, there is no way to explain it. "

Hearing this, Michael suddenly patted his feverish head and suddenly realized:

"You are right. Our ship of indentured slaves was originally destined for the neighboring island of Tayman Brak. Delay in delivery will require liquidated damages.

Come on, come on, let's go back and bring another boatload of slaves. No, we need to pick up two boats, one boat from Taiman Brak, and one boat from here.

All goods will be like this in the future. We must seize the time to prepare goods in order to catch up with this trend.

We have to go back and find more Remit companies to settle in Georgetown Port.

I bet that this land will continue to rise in the future, and it will rise sharply. The more you buy, the more you will earn.

It’s time for me, Michael, to take advantage of others again! "

Over the next few days, vessel throughput at the Port of Georgetown quietly increased more than a dozen times.

Thanks to the hard work of the Newman family and Michael, the response from the major forces was even more enthusiastic than Byron had initially expected.

They each showed their special skills, hoisted the flag of Hattings, and rushed towards Georgetown while avoiding the eyes of the sea.

Hettings, Iris, the Netherlands, the Rhine League. These are the maritime powers that are catching up behind Castile.

The Bloodthirsty Order, the Remites, major transnational armed colonial companies, and even the behemoth Lighthouse Federation and other unofficial civil organizations.

Organizations big and small that could be named were all involved.

The unsold land listed on the sign was sold out in an instant.

The Port of Georgetown, which originally had very limited development, immediately turned into a large and bustling construction site.

Under the strong request of countless big clients waving gold coins, Governor Byron had to reluctantly open the second phase of the project on the third day, so as to avoid the misfortune of having the threshold of the Governor's Mansion squeezed through.

With tears in my eyes, I accepted box after box of golden cuties, and had to experience the tragic experience of counting money until my hands cramped.

Oh, what a pity.

Anyway, the main point is that no money bag can come out of the Tayman Islands intact.

These organizations also knew that they were competing for meat with the Castilians, so they did not make much fanfare, but the personnel sent to attack the front line were all real elites.

The gold coins in Byron and Catherine's hands, as well as the sense of security in their hearts, are increasing day by day.

The market for labor and raw materials brought about by large-scale infrastructure projects also indirectly made all the citizens of the earldom make a lot of money.

“Sure enough, real estate is the fastest way to make money.

But dealing with those old foxes is really tiring. It feels like going to the sea to fight with people. "

"Just be content."

The two of them have been busy meeting representatives from all parties during this period, and their connections have also taken the opportunity to expand to the entire Bantaan upper class.

What is particularly worth mentioning is that Byron also met Meganila, the special envoy of the Iris Kingdom who also bought a large piece of land in Georgetown.

A beautiful lady who is shrewd, capable and charming, and her identity is not just as simple as a special envoy.

Although she is not qualified to be named Valois, she is the illegitimate daughter of Charles VII, the current king of the Iris Valois dynasty [King of Victory].

[King of Victory] Charles VII not only led Iris to defeat Hattings and win the Hundred Years War.

He is also the biological uncle of Byron's uncle [Mad King] Henry VI and his father, Prince of Sorenberg, and Byron's great-uncle.

According to the biological relationship, this Magnilla is the cousin of Prince Sauron and Byron's aunt.

Of course, blood relations are blood relations, and national interests are national interests.

It's hard to say what attitude this great-uncle and cheap aunt would have towards Byron if they knew he was still alive.

Therefore, apart from official activities, Byron is not ready to have too in-depth contact with her yet.

Byron looked at the mansions of various countries that had been built near the Governor's Palace and murmured to himself:

“As a mature aristocrat and statesman, there is an art to exchange and compromise.

If you want to get something, you must pay something first. If you don't have real ability, you can only rely on borrowed soldiers and horses. Even if you win in the end, you must sacrifice the interests of the country.

However, after developing silently for so long, I will soon be able to get my own base among the big powers.

Next, watch me do it! "
