Chapter 258 Meeting
Lex slowly stood up and looked around. In an instant, the noisy crowd became silent.
You could hear a pin drop in the castle. The powerful patriarchs of the Celestial Dragon families held their breath, looked at Lex warily, and swallowed involuntarily.
"Ugh……"
Lex suddenly sighed, and his sigh was a little confusing.
Garin Sheng's tightly closed eyes slightly raised, and the other patriarchs of the Celestial Dragon families looked at Lex who was sighing in surprise and doubt.
"Alas, you are all arguing about the reduction of your share of Heavenly Gold, but I wonder if any of you have ever thought that Heavenly Gold is not something particularly important to you."
When these words were spoken, everyone in the room was shocked.
How could Heavenly Gold not be important to the Celestial Dragons? It was the lifeblood of the Celestial Dragons. Lex was talking nonsense.
But the next moment, everyone heard Lex continue to say:
"Since you are the descendants of God, rich and powerful, and enjoy the world, then the little gold from heaven is only a small part of the inexhaustible wealth of the sea. Since the gold from heaven is only a small part, the rest is the greater wealth, and this wealth should undoubtedly belong to the descendants of God present here."
Immediately, the chief of the Celestial Dragon Clan answered:
"Please enlighten me, Saint Lex."
These Celestial Dragons, who were used to being high and mighty on weekdays, were still quite polite and reserved when speaking to Lex.
For example, after Galinsheng said that the share of Heavenly Gold had been reduced, all the Celestial Dragon chieftains knew that Lex was the reason behind it, but they just quarreled with each other and no one dared to point the finger at Lex unless he (she) did not want to live.
Lex smiled lightly, and then waved his hand. A well-bound document appeared in the hands of everyone in the castle:
"This is the cross-sea trade chain plan just passed at the World Conference, and the Qinghai No. 1 Chamber of Commerce that I established with the New World Pentles as the center. These business territories cover almost all the seas of Qinghai, including the New World, Paradise, Four Seas, and even Sky Island and Fishman Island. As the name suggests, this is a grand business blueprint. If you can invest in it now, then in the future, you will be able to get an astronomical amount of Bailey every year! Far more than the dispensable Tianshang Gold. This is not a joke, I guarantee it with my reputation."
!!! ~
When these words were spoken, everyone in the room was shocked.
The Draco leaders began to carefully look through the business documents provided by Lex.
Although he is not engaged in production, as the leader of the Celestial Dragon clan, he still has a certain vision among the people present.
In almost an instant, they determined that the business plan provided by Lex was true. Of course, the premise was that Lex really controlled the major forces mentioned in the document.
According to the conception in the document, the New World is just a starting point. Relying on advanced technology and cheap productivity, and backed by a huge armed force headed by Lex, such a business empire is simply a dream.
Once completed, trillions of Baileys in huge profits will flow out almost every minute.
Lex struck while the iron was hot and continued:
"I believe that with your wisdom, you can see the business opportunity at a glance. I will not hide anything. I will tell you the truth. I need your family to invest. This is not only the last puzzle piece to complete this business blueprint, but also a gift to compensate for the reduction of your heavenly gold. I just wonder what you think?"
"We agreed!"
"We promise!"
"I agree to invest!"
As if they were afraid that Lex would go back on his word, the chiefs of the Celestial Dragon tribes quickly agreed.
For such a good thing, any hesitation for a second would be disrespectful to Pele.
It is true that many Celestial Dragons have no idea about Bailey, but as the patriarchs of various Celestial Dragon families, the elite Celestial Dragons present are still quite visionary and capable.
We cannot deny all Celestial Dragons just because most of them are as stupid as pigs. At least the strong ones in the Knights of God are also Celestial Dragons, and the Five Elders are no exception.
Seeing everyone rushing to agree to Lex's business blueprint plan, Jialin Sheng fell into deep thought.
According to his understanding of Lex, this profit-seeker who only does things for the sake of profit would almost never do a business at a loss. Yet this time, he took the unprecedented initiative to invite the Celestial Dragons to join this money-making plan. What conspiracy is behind this?
Although he thought so in his heart, on the surface, Jialin Sheng had a smiling tone:
"Well - since Lex has solved the problem of your reduction of heavenly gold, there will be no other major matters in this meeting of the gods."
Next, Garin Sheng discussed some unimportant matters with the other patriarchs of the Celestial Dragon families, such as the expansion of Marijoa, the maintenance of the Celestial Dragon Colosseum, etc.
Lex also continued to narrow his eyes and remained silent.

It is worth mentioning that during the period from the beginning to the end of the World Conference, the Navy Headquarters also held a high-level meeting.
Unlike previous high-level naval meetings, this meeting included Gion.
You have to know that those who attend this meeting are usually only the incumbent marshals, generals, and heavyweights like Chief of Staff Tsuru and Vice Admiral Garp. Although Gion has an extremely noble status, his military rank and achievements are indeed not enough to participate in high-level meetings of this level.
However, Gion really cannot be absent from this meeting.
Because there is only one focus of this meeting, that is, the Navy wants to get in touch with Leon Lex!
Yes, Marineford, which is affiliated to the World Government, seems to have new voices after experiencing tremendous changes in the ocean in recent years. The older generation of navy, led by Cyborg Sora, has gradually changed their views on Rex, and to this day, they even want to take the initiative to get in touch with Rex.
Establish a relationship that is unknown to the government and only known to the top naval officials and Lex, but they are not mutually subordinate.
To put it bluntly, the Navy saw that Lex's power was too great and had long since departed from the narrow concept of "pirates" and reached a position on an equal footing with the World Government.
Therefore, the navy also came up with some ideas that were not beneficial to the government.
The meeting was held in secret, not in any meeting room in Marinford, but in Vice Admiral Garp's home.
Steel Bone Sora put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Gion kindly:
"Gion, I heard from Zefa that you have already reached the level of admiral. You are really a young man to be feared."
The high-ranking members of the navy all knew that Gion had eaten the mythical beast-type Fallen Angel Fruit, especially Zephyr, who was very clear about Gion's strength.
While Lex was presiding over the World Conference, Gion lived up to expectations and reached the admiral level!
This was the shackles that she had not been able to overcome in the original plot until she was 50 years old, but in this life, at the prime age of 19, she accomplished this feat!
In fact, it is not outrageous if you think about it carefully. In this life, Gion has been following Lex since his father passed away.
Whether it was swordsmanship, physical skills, or domineering power, he learned them all from the Red Earl and Lex, who were taught step by step by two of the most powerful people in the world.
And Gion's only shortcoming - physical fitness, has reached a level not inferior to Charlotte Linlin after eating the Fallen Angel Fruit carefully prepared by Lex. In addition, Gion's kendo talent is already unrivaled in Qinghai. It can be said that Gion's talent now has broken away from the ceiling of ordinary humans and reached a level comparable to monster women like Charlotte Linlin.
Therefore, it was not outrageous that the 19-year-old Gion broke through to the admiral level, and it was even a little late.
Hearing what Cyborg Sora said, Gion nodded calmly:
"Well, I just made a breakthrough by chance not long ago with the help of Mr. Zefa."
Steel Bone·Sora laughed:
"Haha, everyone here is one of us, there's no need to be modest. Gion-chan, in terms of talent, you are even better than Garp's son. You are the unquestionable pride of our navy."
Hearing this, whether it was Sengoku, Zefa, or Crane, they all nodded in agreement.
Garp, who was eating donuts crazily, said: "...Huh?~"
