Pirates from island owner to king

Chapter 324: 2 people rushed to Heping Island (big chapter)

After testing, Golden Lion apparently understood Whitebeard's strength and attitude.

Won't take his side.

Therefore, we did not continue to test, and we had a detailed chat about Heping Island's next specific expansion plan, and then went to move the island according to the information provided by Wang Hai.

Although the Golden Lion arrived a year late, during this period, Wang Hai and the others did not give up the expansion plan of Heping Island because of the Golden Lion's late arrival.

Therefore, there have always been arrangers in the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates and in nearby sea areas that are not occupied by clear forces.

Look for those uninhabited desert islands that can be moved over and reclaimed from the sea.

In fact, there are already many such islands just within the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Next, these islands alone are enough to expand the current Peace Island ten or eight times.

Regarding Plant IQ, Wang Hai and White Beard have not mentioned it to Golden Lion yet.

He was worried that he would directly get into trouble with the Golden Lion, so he gave up his career.

However, there is no intention to wait until an expansion is completed before mentioning it.

The two already had a preliminary plan on how to obtain the IQ plant from the Golden Lion.

On that day, just as Hope had predicted yesterday, Heping Island directly announced its recruitment.

And, some more specific details were announced.

"I've met everyone again. Next, Hope will explain to you the specific information about Heping Island's recruitment this time."

In the recruitment announcement, no specific senior executive of Heping Island came forward. Instead, it was announced via live broadcast through Hope from the news department.

Of course.

This is just a live broadcast supplemented by Hope. The specific information has been conveyed to the scheduled pick-up location through Heping Island's partners.

So, in fact, many people have actually boarded the ship to Heping Island and watched the live broadcast on the ship.

"Not 500 million, not 1000 million, but added up, directly 500 million people!"

Soon, Hope directly announced the recruitment quota this time.

This made many viewers who had already boarded the ship, or who had not yet boarded the ship, breathe a sigh of relief.

Compared with 500 million and 1000 million, today's 500 million people obviously have a better chance of landing on Peace Island.

Many of them have already made preparations. Even if they cannot land directly on Heping Island in the end, they will take advantage of this opportunity to reach the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates.

In this way, if Heping Island continues to recruit people, they will have more opportunities.

"In addition, the rules for recruiting people have not changed. As long as there are no major bad deeds in the past and a yearning for peace, basically everyone can find a normal job on Peace Island."

Hope's introduction immediately made everyone breathe a sigh of relief again.

Although Heping Island has released such recruitment conditions before, these conditions are too loose, so that there are too many people who meet the conditions and are willing to go to Heping Island.

As a result, there is no way to guarantee whether Heping Island will temporarily increase conditions in order to limit the number of people.

"This time, the job quota for entering Heping Island will be on a first-come, first-served basis until 500 million people are recruited. The conditions for actually joining Heping Island are still the same as those for the first batch of people, based on their contribution value and personal wishes."

Hope continued to explain that on one ship after another heading to Peace Island, the people watching the live broadcast became more and more relaxed.

Everything is as announced before, Heping Island did not lie.

They couldn't even help but cheer.

Of course, some people are worried about whether they can occupy the first 500 million people.

If not, what exactly should we do when we get to the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates?

Fortunately, Hope's next explanation cleared their doubts.

"Those who have not obtained the first 500 million places do not need to worry. We have already considered this situation, so we have set up temporary resettlement areas near Heping Island on some islands where people can temporarily live..."

In this way, for everyone who wants to go to Peace Island, there will be almost no worries.

The only remaining doubt is probably whether there will be any danger on the way to Heping Island.

However, most people have decided to take this risk in order to go to Peace Island.

Just that day, Wang Hai received a summary of intelligence. From the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates, the New World, Paradise, and the four seas, there were already nearly [-] large ships carrying people who wanted to go to Peace Island. sail.

In other words, there are almost 2000 million people.

And this is because his partners cannot provide more ships.

There are still many people who have not been able to board the shuttle boat and have to use other ways or wait for the next one.

"It seems that the money invested was not in vain."

Wang Hai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw such data.

Because he had anticipated it, he specifically asked his partners to prepare as many ships as possible.

It is not easy to prepare [-] ships with a thousand people in advance at this time.

An ordinary ship with a capacity of [-] people costs at least [-] million Baileys, and [-] ships is equivalent to [-] trillion Baileys.

Of course.

It doesn’t mean that he directly spent [-] trillion yuan to buy the ships of these partners, or that he asked people to build so many ships.

More than a year ago, the ships owned by his partners were capable of carrying a thousand people, and the total number was only about [-].

However, with the continuous publicity during the development of Heping Island, and after in-depth investigation, Wang Hai's team analyzed that only [-] ships with [-] people were not enough.

In the end, the number of people willing to come to Heping Island may be as high as 2000 million.

Therefore, Wang Hai directly contacted these partners and asked them to prepare ships based on the scale of transporting 2000 million people.

At the beginning, he reached cooperation with these partners based on their interests, but the initial interest connection was obviously not enough for them to invest more and increase the number of ships in their hands from [-] to [-].

From Wang Hai's side, it's not easy to buy directly.

Although if he invests and opens a transportation company, he can eventually make a profit.

But it's too much trouble.

So he and his people thought of a way to use profit guidance to get these partners to actively invest in expanding the ships.

Instead of giving money directly, he took out the food produced on Heping Island, as well as various vegetables and fruits, and even the meat of sea kings and sea animals.

There are also clothing, medicines, and weapons produced from Taoyuan Island.

There is almost no shortage of food supplies in this vast ocean today.

Even his cooperating forces are not too abundant.

In particular, the food produced on Heping Island is of the same origin as Taoyuan Island. When placed on the sea, even ordinary vegetables are of the highest quality among similar products.

This makes it even more popular.

As for the inconvenience of long-distance transportation of vegetables and fruits, this is not a big problem at all.

Vegetables and fruits can be dehydrated and vacuum packed into dried vegetables, which can be made into vegetable and fruit juice, fruit wine, canned fruits, etc.

These don't even need to be operated by Heping Island himself. Wang Hai's partners directly built various food processing plants in Whitebeard's territory and the islands near Heping Island.

If there wasn't much unplanned land, they could even open these factories on Heping Island.

Although Wang Hai can also spend money to buy various technologies and let his people do these businesses.

However, he knew that money could not be earned by one person, so in order to further bind these partners to Heping Island, he gave up this part of the benefits.

Of course.

For him, this part of the benefit is not particularly large, and the profit rate is not too high.

With the subsequent expansion of Heping Island, these islands with factories will be moved directly to the vicinity of Heping Island in the first phase. In this way, transportation costs can be further reduced.

At the same time, it can be regarded as the official launch of the business development model of Heping Island.

anyway.

Wang Hai provides supplies, and even sells half of the goods and half gives them to these partners, providing various grains, vegetables and fruits produced on Heping Island...

At the same time, they also allowed them to process and transport a batch of supplies with preferential discounts, and then deliver them to the civilians who wanted to come to Heping Island and were living a difficult life and almost couldn't survive.

Wang Hai did this to save as many people as possible so that they could survive.

Don’t wait until the expansion of Peace Island is completed but not many people can be recruited.

He knew very well that just like the original platinum-lead disease incident, in the eyes of the World Government, ordinary people, even civilians of an entire country, could be sacrificed and abandoned.

Therefore, he could not guarantee that he would see the development of Heping Island.

Will the alert world government, in order to prevent the further development of Peace Island, start from another angle to prevent civilians from coming to Peace Island without being able to directly target Peace Island?

Obviously.

If this is the case, it is impossible for the World Government to ask its affiliated countries to treat civilians better so that they will not be unable to survive.

On the contrary, it is more likely to deal with these civilians, and even create a conspiracy to blame the death of these civilians on Heping Island and demonize Heping Island.

If possible, Wang Hai also wanted to do things like recruiting people quietly.

But he also knows that once it reaches a large scale, such things cannot be hidden at all.

Doing it secretly gives the world government more room to operate.

Therefore, we finally chose to proceed openly and increased our investment in the live broadcast industry.

It is impossible for the world government not to care about a little face.

When the live broadcast industry develops, it will not be so easy to cover up any bad things the world government wants to do.

It is precisely because of the consideration that in the process of snatching the population from the World Government, the World Government may rather deal with these civilians who have turned to its side than reduce the gold in the sky to allow the civilians to survive.

Therefore, Wang Hai made the recruitment process as open as possible, and sent some living supplies to civilians who were about to survive through the channels of partners.

As for whether his partners will take the initiative to help him deliver these supplies to civilians, this is not a particularly difficult matter.

there are many reasons.

Wang Hai has many teams under his command, and even established a think tank.

This has been analyzed.

Most of his partners are businessmen.

At least, they cooperated with him in pursuit of profit.

Their markets are all over the sea.

Food, vegetables, fruits, and the meat of various Neptune-like sea beasts are exactly what countries with a large number of civilians living in difficulty are in urgent need of.

Although not all countries that join the World Government have a large number of civilians who are about to die, but if they exist, there must be something wrong.

There are many problems, which may be due to the impact of the great pirate era. After all, some countries that are not strong will even be invaded by pirates.

It is also possible that it was difficult to afford the heavenly gold, so the upper class nobles passed on the heavenly gold to the common people.

As a result, these nobles continue to live a good life, but the common people are getting poorer and poorer, there are more and more poor people, and more and more people cannot survive.

In such a situation, there is almost no choice between survival or resistance.

So, the war broke out.

Some succeeded, some failed, and some fell into chaos.

There is no doubt that no matter what the situation is, there are always many opportunities for businessmen to make money.

In a situation of turmoil, production stagnation and lack of food materials are obviously inevitable.

Therefore, Wang Hai provides the supply of goods, and merchants can transport the materials there and make a lot of money easily.

What the businessman needs to do is deliver the small amount of food to the civilians according to his requirements.

Such requirements are not high for businessmen.

After all, for them, unless they were slave traders, it would be difficult to make money from these poor civilians.

Therefore, for them, Wang Hai undoubtedly created an additional opportunity for them to make money.

Help Wang Hai deliver some supplies, and you can get a lot of cheap supplies from Wang Hai.

Their main customers are still the nobles of these countries.

The real wealth is in the hands of the nobles.

The nobles forced the common people to the point where they could no longer survive. Without the common people to exploit them and grow food for them, the nobles would also face food shortages.

Even if there is no shortage for a short time, there will always be a shortage for a long time.

and.

Nobles who are used to a luxurious life are more likely to favor some of the high-quality materials produced on Heping Island.

For these partners, this is just one way to make money.

They were also happy to see commoners confront nobles.

In this way, they can make more money from the nobles.

Because confrontation often takes the form of war, in this way, they can sell weapons, medicines and other supplies to the nobles.

Fortunately, Taoyuan Island also produces these materials.

but.

Wang Hai also noticed that most of his partners did not directly sell the weapons and medicines produced on Taoyuan Island to the nobles, but kept them themselves.

Then, use some weapons and medicines of lower quality to trade with those nobles.

Obviously, the weapons and medicines produced by Taoyuan Island are of first-class quality in Dahai's current era.

As Heping Island and Taoyuan Island continued to provide various products, his partners also took the initiative to increase the number of transportation ships.

Until now, it has doubled several times and reached the scale of [-] ships.

It seems like a lot, and it is indeed a lot.

However, Wang Hai knows that navigation has been the main mode of transportation on this sea for hundreds of thousands of years.

Therefore, [-] large ships with a thousand people are actually not very many on this sea in the same era.

It occupies less than one-fifth of the scale.

His partners are composed of nobles and businessmen in the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates, Doflamingo's Don Quixote family, some underground forces in the New World that focus on transportation, and some paradise forces.

Therefore, after continuous expansion, it only occupies one-fifth, which is actually not much.

anyway.

Over the past year or so, Wang Hai took a look at the reports sent by his subordinates.

Although he provides supply to these partners at almost cost price, he actually does not lose money.

On the contrary, after excluding the shares given to his subordinates, the civilians of Peace Island, and the crew of the Whitebeard Pirates, there is still a profit of several hundred million beli.

He didn't take this little money seriously, but this was always good news.

but.

The next investment is quite a lot.

2000 million people, or even more, asked his partners to help deliver them, and to safely deliver them to Heping Island. When the time comes, he will need money.

The price is not cheap.

Although some distances are far and some are close, on average, it requires almost [-] beli.

2000 million people, that is, two trillion beli.

Fortunately, he didn't need to pay cash directly.

The island where the partner's factory is located has been moved to the vicinity of the first phase of Heping Island and connected together, which involves many interests.

Can offset part of it.

In addition, part of it can be offset by continuing to provide them with supply from the output of Heping Island and Taoyuan Island in the next few years.

Not much can be produced from the first phase of Peace Island.

Because 2000 million people have joined Heping Island, they need to be provided with food security.

Fortunately, after expansion, a second or even a third food production base can be built.

At the same time, when the commercial part is unfolding, Wang Hai thinks that two trillion is actually not much.

Of course, even if he offsets most of it through these methods, he still needs to come up with some cash.

Fortunately, in recent years, the gold obtained from Sky Island has basically been of little use.

Just take some of it out and you're done.

Although he spent a lot of money, it was just an investment for him. As long as the expansion of Heping Island is completed and 2000 million people arrive, the money invested can be earned back tenfold or even a hundredfold.

Just right.

The gold in his hands is not counted as income by Goldfinger and cannot bring about lawful value growth.

Only by spending it and earning more can you bring lawful value.

"With [-] ships of [-] people, the World Government may not be able to sit still anymore. It seems that it is still necessary to use mushroom bombs."

Wang Hai originally thought that after yesterday's show of force, the world government did not take any action, so maybe there was no need to use mushroom bombs.

But now, he has changed his mind.

Although if he uses it now, he will have one less hidden trump card, but he doesn't want to wait until the World Government takes action and cause damage to the civilians who are rushing to Peace Island, and then he will start to regret it.

In this case, it is better to just ask the World Government to give up the idea of ​​reaching out to these civilians.

"However, this is the first time the mushroom bomb has made its official debut, so we have to prepare a beautiful appearance..."

How to make the mushroom bomb shine is a question. Wang Hai thought for a while and came up with some ideas.

I plan to find my think tank to discuss it in detail.
