Chapter 88 White Tiger Chamber of Commerce Sets Sail

More than a hundred flying dragons took off into the air in an instant, carrying Fan Li and others towards East Harbor at an extremely fast speed.

Half an hour later, a group of flying dragons landed in an open space near the port.

Many people stopped to watch.

Some people even opened their mouths in surprise.

Those who already knew about Feilong looked at them as if they were country bumpkins, with a somewhat arrogant look on their faces, "What a bunch of country bumpkins, making a fuss out of nothing."

That look, that expression, fully illustrates what superiority is.

Some well-informed merchants heaved a sigh of relief and said, "This is the pet of Master Beast Tamer Xia Jieren."

“It’s really powerful!”

As he spoke, his tone was full of amazement.

In the past few days, everyone has more or less heard of the name of the beastmaster Xia Jieren, and he is now quite famous in the nearby sea area.

After all, he was able to help a princess of a fallen country restore her country by his own efforts, which fits the story of a brave man saving a princess very well, and is deeply loved by girls and women who have been poisoned by romance novels.

Some were amazed, others didn't care.

"They are just a bunch of bugs. A truly powerful person can kill them with a wave of his hand."

Fan Li was the first to jump off the dragon's back and walked calmly towards the dock.

At this time, a ship about fifty or sixty meters long was lying at the berth, rising and falling with the microwaves.

This large ship was one of Xia Jieren's trophies. It must be said that group of nobles were really rich. They had 32 large ships of this type, 130 medium-sized ships, more than 1,000 small ships, 321 fishing boats, and hundreds of ships of various sizes.

In the end, only 32 large ships were left, and the rest were sold to nationals or foreign businessmen, with a total profit of 2.3 billion Beli.

Xia Jieren picked out the best ship from the remaining large ships and named it White Tiger as the initial vehicle of the White Tiger Chamber of Commerce.

It’s not that Xia Jieren doesn’t want to provide a few more ships, it’s just that the White Tiger Chamber of Commerce is still weak and lacks sailing experience. Too many ships will increase the risk.

Once you are familiar with the route, you can start trading on a large scale.

At this time, there were five or six dock workers at the dock, carrying goods, fresh water, food and other necessities onto the ship.

In addition to the 120 Zergmen, there were also 10 infected, 20 flying dragons, 100 springtails, 1,000 scouts, and 20 worker bees on board the ship this time.

At the bottom of the White Tiger, there were ten Devourers following around.

In order to ensure that the Zerg units remain combat-ready at all times, countless energy blocks were installed on the White Tiger, which can last for as long as half a year.

Half an hour later, everything was ready. A majestic white tiger flag was hung on the top of the mast. Under the gaze of many onlookers, the White Tiger slowly sailed out of the dock.

Since the White Tiger was loaded with less than one-fifth of its cargo, the ship was traveling very quickly.

Looking at the White Tiger going away, Xia Jieren's eyes were full of expectations, "I hope Fan Li can bring good news, so that I will not be in vain to give him the title of Chinese Business Saint."

Fan Li (536 BC - 448 BC), a native of Xichuan County, Henan Province, was revered as the "Sage of Commerce", "the ancestor of Chinese commerce since ancient times", and one of the "Five Saints of Nanyang". Although he was born in a poor family, he was knowledgeable and talented. He became a wealthy man through business three times, and gave away his wealth three times, calling himself Tao Zhu Gong.

"What a pity! The Netherlands Kingdom doesn't even have a Den Den Mushi that can make long-distance calls."

"It seems that I can only rely on myself to develop a device that can perform remote communication in the future."

Xia Jieren shook his head regretfully.

The external business territory has begun to set sail, but this is far from enough.

After resolving the issue with the White Tiger Chamber of Commerce, Xia Jieren began to set up an intelligence organization - Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils.

Xia Jieren positioned this organization as collecting and selling intelligence.

With his God's perspective, Xia Jieren can know many secrets in One Piece.

For example: how to reach the final island, Raftel.

Some people from top powers might know a thing or two, but the rest are completely in the dark.

This is a blue ocean.

There's a lot to be done!

I believe many people will pay for this.

But there is no need to rush this, just build the framework at this stage.

The Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils need to make their debut in the Grand Line.

If the Fire Eyes and Golden Eyes organization becomes famous in the Netherlands Kingdom, then when the World Government and others start to track them down, wouldn't it be directly exposed?

As for why Xia Jieren is so sure that the World Government will get to the bottom of it.

Haha! After stripping the World Government of its underwear, it would be strange if it didn’t “take down” the Fiery Eyes and Golden Eyes Organization.

In addition to the intelligence organization, for future considerations, Xia Jieren also wants to build an underground force to do some dirty work for him.

After thinking for a while, Xia Jieren decided to postpone it. There was no need for it now. He could wait until the intelligence network was established.

After planning the organization that would be established in the future, Xia Jieren once again turned his attention to the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

Xia Jieren is still very motivated about this country.

It is such a fulfilling thing to build a strong country with your own hands.

Now, the light industry and agriculture of the Kingdom of the Netherlands are progressing steadily. In just four months, there will be another wave of boom.

"Oh! What a headache!"

Thinking of the difficult heavy industry, Xia Jieren held his forehead with a headache.

The islands in the world of One Piece vary in size, and the resources contained on the islands also vary greatly, which is not suitable for the development and growth of the country.

Take the Kingdom of the Netherlands for example. The island's iron, copper, gold, silver and other metal deposits are pitifully scarce. Even if there are any, they have been gradually exhausted after nearly two hundred years of mining.

During these few days, Xia Jieren directly ordered the worker bees to mine out all the remaining mineral deposits.

Although it meets temporary needs, it will more or less face the dilemma of lack of metal minerals in the future.

Xia Jieren also tried to separate common minerals such as gold, silver, and copper from seawater using a Zerg membrane, but the output was too low.

On average, each cubic meter of seawater contains only 0.01 to 0.09 mg of gold, and the same is true for the copper and silver it contains.

In desperation, Xia Jieren could only search on Yanhuang Island.

It’s no wonder that we found quite a few mineral deposits during this search.

According to statistics, there are two coal mines on Yanhuang Island, located at the foot of Hushan and Diaoshan respectively, with a total reserve of about 100 million tons.

The gold mine is located between Jinghu Base and Hushan, with a total reserve of approximately 580 million tons, most of which are co-existing ores of gold, silver or copper.

The copper mine is located in the northern part of Yanhuang Island, close to the sea, with total reserves of approximately 470 million tons.

There is less iron ore, which is located between the southern part of Yanhuang Island and Jinghu Base. Xia Jieren’s first road runs right across it, with a total reserve of about 470 million tons.

What surprised Xia Jieren most was that he also discovered oil and natural gas.
