Pirate Merchant

Chapter 389: Turning Soil into Gold

Not long after Sauron was taken away by Nami and Weiwei, he rushed back, and when he came back, he brought Kuina who didn't know where he was just now.

"You guys are back? Quick, come here, we're going to start taking pictures!"

Nuo Qigao, who was debugging the video phone bug, waved Nami, Weiwei, Zoro and Kuina to gather with the Straw Hats.

"Are we going to take pictures too? Our relationship with you is not so good, is it?"

Trafalgar Law asked Jinbei's Luffy with some reluctance, while his subordinates smiled and pushed him not to let him leave.

"Hey hey~ Don't worry, don't worry~ I like taking pictures!"

Luffy held the thigh meat in one hand and compared Y with the other. After getting a "good news" from Nami, he no longer hated Muqian, but he still wanted to blow Muqian away.

"I didn't ask you if you like taking pictures."

Trafalgar Law complained about Luffy's natural dullness with some headaches.

"Wait, didn't that guy say he wanted to take a photo with us? Why is he missing?"

Zoro, who came to Luffy's side with Kuina, looked for Muqian everywhere, and asked Nami with a darker expression as he searched.

"The ghost knows where he went. I feel that there is something wrong with the air flow here. He must have used some fruit ability to hide it. Hey, his identity is indeed not suitable for taking a group photo with us."

Nami sighed and replied to Zoro.

"Hehe, indeed, he must be among us, although I don't know where, look, Mrs. Xia Li is not very happy talking to 'someone'?"

Robin, who was standing with Aokiji, smiled and looked at Xia Li who was not far away. She was the first to notice the abnormality and explained with a smile.

"Yes, Brother Mu, he won't promise us to break the appointment later. If he doesn't want to take pictures with us, he won't say it from the beginning."

Usopp crossed his arms, raised his head and said to Zoro handsomely.

"Sorry! I'm late! A patient suddenly appeared in the clinic! I rushed over as soon as I treated her!"

Just when everyone was posing and Nuo Qigao ran to Nami's side and hugged her to take a picture, Ke Ya, who was wearing a nurse's uniform, ran in anxiously.

"Ah ah!"

However, because of being too nervous and flustered, she trotted all the way and threw herself forward with her left foot stumbling over her right foot. Just when she almost fell to the ground amidst the exclamation of the crowd, a gust of warm wind flew out from the crowd and dragged her forward. Kaya stayed, and then brought her delicate and soft body to Usopp's side.

Just when Usopp, who was so frightened and sweating profusely, reached out to catch Kaya, the video phone bug that set the time recorded this moment. People gather and laugh, which is exactly what Muqian has been hoping to achieve.

"Isn't the banquet still being held now? Why are you back?"

In the bridge of the lucky mothership, sitting at Muqian's desk, Kalifa, who was counting the current turnover of the Lucky Chamber of Commerce, rolled up his glasses and asked Muqian with some puzzlement.

"It's too lively, I don't like the atmosphere very much, and besides, I've got what I want."

Mu Qian, who walked to the sofa and sat down, looked at the 10-inch group photo in his hand and smiled. In his perspective, a figure was standing between the two mermaids, Bai Xing and Xia Li. Although there was only a blurred outline, But it also made him very satisfied.

"Where's that girl Ji Ya? Why can't I see her recently?"

After putting the group photo in his mouth like a glutton, Mu Qian asked Kalifa in doubt.

"Sister Jiya is currently on Mothership No. 2 with Monet, and is in charge of dealing with the mess left by Captain 'Aix'. If you want to find something to do with her, I personally suggest that you forget it, Sister Jiya I won't give you this kind of rest time like I did."

Khalifa quickly processed the piled-up documents, and she, who was given great power by Mu Qian, could be called the second master with Jiya.

"Hahaha~ Indeed, then I'd better just stay here and be lazy, you're right, Qinglong~"

Mu Qian raised his legs and stretched leisurely, while during his questioning, the green dragon that turned into a blue dragon pattern and lay on his shoulder crawled out of his collar.

"It's natural. Adequate sleep can lead to a strong body. I strongly oppose overwork."

Qinglong, who crawled out, nodded his head and spit out human words, agreeing with Mu Qian's words of wanting to be lazy with a crisp childish voice.

"Master, do I really have to look for that stinky man who smells like sulfur every now and then?"

After taking pictures of Mu Qian's horse, Qinglong asked Mu Qian with a slumped face and a painful expression.

"Of course, otherwise, why would I ask you to go to the middle general? You are now the gold medal of our Lucky Chamber of Commerce. If you don't report to Akainu, then we won't be able to do business with peace of mind in the future."

Mu Qian shrugged and replied, this is the only good way he can think of without bloodshed, he is not a fighting madman, he can reduce the fighting, as much as possible over there.

"Hey~ I think I am Qinglong Yushu Linfeng, noble and proud, handsome and cute, but I have to work for an ugly monster, it really makes the dragon heart tired."

Perhaps because of the random character of the accompanying beast, the extroverted green dragon danced around Muqian, sighing that time would not wait for it.

"Boss, I remember you telling me that it was born the day before yesterday."

Kalifa, who almost couldn't hold back her laughter during Qinglong's narcissistic words, pushed her glasses to ease the embarrassment, and then complained to Mu Qian with a straight face.

"I don't know the specifics. According to Vegapunk, it seems that when the Devil Fruit endows the Companion Beast with the Devil Fruit ability, it will randomly assign it a certain degree of wisdom. However, there is no way to study this aspect of knowledge. Vegapunk is too lazy to study."

Mu Qian raised his hand to let the green dragon fall into his palm, and he who didn't know much more than Kalifa replied also full of doubts.

"I don't know either. When I woke up, there were a lot of 'memories' in my head that no one named. Although I don't know what happened, I am very grateful for those memories."

Landing on Mu Qian's palm, Qinglong wrapped his body around Mu Qian's arm, and answered Mu Qian full of doubts.

"Some things in this world are really wonderful, and there is no way to answer them scientifically."

Kalifa sighed, and resolutely gave up on the question of why Qinglong was so coquettish after only two days of birth.

"But what you said is true. I want to 'send you out' to take advantage of it, but I don't want to actually hand you over. So, how should I go whoring in the hands of Akainu now?"

Mu Qian staggered his fingers on his lower abdomen and tapped the back of his hand one by one. At this time, he no longer has any hostile relationship in the pirate camp. Therefore, if he wants to live a good life in the future, the world government and the combat armed generals under its command will be your own main enemy.

Although Qinglong is a very good cooling medicine, as time goes by, this cooling medicine can never last too long.

After all, Akainu is easy to fight, but the greedy world government is not easy to deal with. Moreover, his own intelligence network has already given the world government's desire to obtain its own temperature fruit, and secretly offered a price willing to pay 30 billion Berry to buy the temperature fruit. information.

That is to say, even though I used Qinglong's 'Band-Aid' to stick to the dam that was about to collapse, it was absolutely impossible to prevent the dam from collapsing.

"So, next is Wulaoxing and Lord Im?"

Lying on the sofa and looking up at the ceiling, Mu Qian's eyes released a faint blue mist. At this moment, although he was worried that everything he owned would turn into nothingness, but that worry made him become He became more and more excited, and the light in his eyes gradually changed from blue to red.

"Forget it, it's useless to think so much, Kalifa, how are the materials for Mothership No. 3 prepared?"

Mu Qian, whose brain was running fast, closed his eyes. After opening his eyes, his eyes returned to normal. He sat up straight and asked Kalifa.

"The extraction rate of rare metals is too low. If you want to complete the construction within a month, you need to go to build it yourself. However, are you sure that Mothership No. 3 has a rudder as the captain?"

Kalifa stopped what she was doing and questioned Mu Qian's decision.

"That rudder has all my memories, and it also has almost the same ability as mine. Although the temperature is not as high as mine, it is more than enough to be used as a driving energy. Moreover, if it acts as the captain, it will not give white water. Beard brings pressure, I can't give White Beard a boat, but White Beard's excavation of the red earth continent requires a special platform to assist, and it is just a rudder, White Beard is still the leader of the entire team. "

Mu Qian raised his hand and patted Taotie's head, and teased Momo's chin that fell on his knee with his fingers. At this moment, he felt that his place was about to become a zoo.

"That's it, I know, but, boss, the turnover of sea trains has continued to decline for 17 consecutive months, and investors have begun to withdraw their capital one after another. I suggest that you increase the ticket price. As long as you increase the ticket price by 67%, you can keep your expenses flat. A 93% increase and you can start making a profit.”

Khalifa took out a list detailing the losses of sea trains from the pile of documents, and said to Mu Qian with a frown.

"Maintain the original price, children are free of charge, half price on holidays, if you only look at the ticket price, how do I retail those products? Business must not only calculate temporary gains and losses. Money can only accumulate numbers with me. It circulates but fulfills my dreams, and dreams are not the treasure that money can buy."

Mu Qian shook his head and rejected Kalifa's proposal.

invest? His wealth still needs to be invested? He just gave some food to those who are willing to make a fortune. It's a pity that these short-sighted guys began to withdraw their investment in less profitable public welfare undertakings after they were promoted by themselves. It seems that it is time to scrape a layer from them Oil and water came down.

"Master Neptune sent a consultation telegram, asking if the original price of the Haixia elevator will remain unchanged?"

Khalifa took out another list, looked at the Haixia Elevator whose revenue continued to drop, she was used to Mu Qian's refusal, and asked Mu Qian calmly.

"Of course, you wrote back to Neptune, saying that I have included the subsea elevator in the support project, and I will give 100 million Berry of support funds every month for the maintenance of the subsea elevator and employee salaries."

Mu Qian laughed and said the words that made Khalifa's glasses slip off the bridge of his nose and crushed the pen in his hand.

"Boss, do you know what you're talking about? One hundred million Berries a month?! Where do you want me to get this money?"

"Deducted from the shares that belong to me in the Lucky Chamber of Commerce, I vaguely remember that my monthly dividend is one billion Doberis, right? In addition to the various taxes on the mothership, I have the qualifications to keep it at its original price. I When it was proposed to build sea railways and subsea elevators, it never occurred to me to make money on them."

Mu Qian interrupted Kalifa's scolding, and said with a strong attitude.

".You are really a wayward boss. I understand. I will deduct the corresponding Berry from your share dividends every month."

Khalifa sighed helplessly, and could only vent, tearing up the loss list of the sea railway and sea elevator in front of her.

"When all the railway tracks on the sea are opened to traffic, you will know why I priced the ticket so low. I often tell you that when people feel that he has taken advantage of it, it is often when he is cut off by businessmen. "

Mu Qian smiled and comforted the speechless and helpless Kalifa.

"They were cut off by other merchants, and you will not be a merchant again to buy things now."

Kalifa, who felt that she had broken her heart, sighed and complained about Mu Qian.

She had already calculated that even if Mu Qian went to harvest the trade volume of the merchants, it would not be worth the berry he earned by raising the ticket by ten berry a day.

"Hehe, indeed, I don't have the energy to sell oranges everywhere like before, but ah, where do you think the Berry earned by the merchants will exist? Is it a turbulent country? Or is there a peaceful and stable mothership? Do they believe in the world government led by the Draconians? Or me, the 'ship lord' who pays for the sea railway to provide them with convenience?"

Mu Qian, who was lying on the sofa, smiled and asked Khalifa who hadn't figured out why she wanted to keep the ticket price low.

"That's true, but isn't the money all from those merchants?"

Kalifa froze for a moment, and instantly thought of the huge vault of the lucky mothership full of gold, gems, diamonds and banknotes, but those savings were not something Mu Qian could use.

"Will they take the money all at the same time on the same day?"

"."

Mu Qian's rhetorical question made Kalifa stunned. She was only good at various calculations, but she never thought about what Mu Qian said. At this moment, she fully understood that so many high-ranking officials in the world government even faced being punished. The danger of expulsion would also work for him.

"It seems that you should understand what I mean. Do as I say with confidence. As long as I am willing, I can extract a golden mountain from the soil through the temperature difference. If you want to be my secretary, you are afraid that you will not have money. ?”

Mu Qian raised his hand and patted Taotie. During his slap, Taotie opened his mouth wide and spat out a two-meter-high irregular gold mine. It was refined by Mu Qian himself when he was free, but it was too wasteful. Because of the land resources, he temporarily sealed the technology of "refining earth into gold" that others dream of.
