Ivan really did not expect that he would see the enemy of the Wright family "with his own eyes" in this form at this time.

I didn't expect this young man named Hawkins.

Not only is he a fellow countryman of the Garriott family in the Kingdom of Ilia, mastering the same extraordinary swordsmanship as his own, he is even an employee of the Egret Chamber of Commerce under Wright.

Because of a series of coincidences, for a moment, Alvin even thought that this guy might be a spy or even a killer sent by his enemy, and then he would strike first.

But the memory belonging to Hawkins that was then presented in front of Ivan proved that he really had no close relationship with his enemy, Earl Wright.

To be more precise, Hawkins may not necessarily have a more "friendly" view of the Chamber of Commerce and Wright than he does.

Although the unforgettable memories in the deep dreams are a bit messy, they are profound enough. Ivan even experienced the strong emotions contained in those Hawkins memories!

Among them are those who are happy:

The joy of a young child standing on a bench behind the helm of a merchant ship and stroking the wheel;

Compared with today, young people who are still a little green are all-powerful when they stand on the podium of a business school and receive everyone's attention;

Walking hand in hand on campus with a girl whose face has been blurred, you and I are in front of flowers and under the moon;

I was also extremely proud when I received the recruitment notice from the Egret Chamber of Commerce where my father worked after graduation;

The eyes of approval from parents, the eyes of admiration from girlfriend, and the great success of presiding over a business merger and acquisition case for the first time.

Of course there are also sad ones:

It was heartbreaking to hear that the merchant ship on which my father was aboard had suffered a shipwreck and had perished at sea;

The Egret Chamber of Commerce felt deep hatred when they took away Hawkins' "home" that held countless memories on the grounds that his father's mistakes had caused heavy losses to the chamber of commerce;

And the depression and loneliness when my girlfriend decided to leave.

""

Scenes of Hawkins' life are like a scroll, unfolding one by one in front of Alvin and Milan.

Among them, there are things that Alvin wants to know about Hawkins' real life through dreaming, but there are also many things that are beyond his expectation.

Through these very important moments in Hawkins' life, Ivan has pieced together the main experiences of Hawkins's life for more than 20 years.

Born into a middle-class family, he belonged to a wealthy family with at least a middle- to upper-class income in the Kingdom of Ilia.

Moreover, my father was a merchant ship captain, which was a very respectable and honorable profession in the Age of Discovery.

Hawkins himself is very good. When he was a student, he was also a famous figure in the Plantagenet School of Business in the Kingdom of Ilia, which was full of geniuses. He received a full scholarship every year.

After graduation, he directly entered the kingdom's leading private business organization, worked for the Egret Chamber of Commerce, a typical representative of the emerging aristocracy, and had a beautiful lover who was already talking about marriage.

It can be called a happy and fulfilling life!

Then an accident destroyed everything.

As a captain affiliated with the Egret Chamber of Commerce, my father disappeared with his ship into the vast Black Sea during an ocean trade with the New World.

Judging from the search and rescue conditions of this era, the relationship between disappearance and death can be directly equated.

Later, before Hawkins and his mother could recover from the tremendous grief.

Hawkins, who also worked in the Chamber of Commerce, was subsequently kicked out of the Egret Chamber of Commerce because of the huge losses his father caused to the Chamber of Commerce.

At the same time, the management also took away the house where the family had lived for many years and the two shops that his father had accumulated through life and death in the name of his father's unpaid loan from the Chamber of Commerce.

Hawkins has long known that the Egret Chamber of Commerce has always been domineering with the support of Count Wright, and those who dare to oppose them in the Kingdom of Ilia will never end well.

They didn't feel anything in the past, but when this domineering object really fell on them, they realized the helplessness and despair involved.

Soon, the sweetheart who was originally talking about getting married left Hawkins for ridiculous reasons and fell into the arms of someone else.

Moreover, it is no longer possible for an employee who has been dismissed by the Egret Chamber of Commerce to get a new job from any chamber of commerce or company in Ilia.

As a last resort, Hawkins took his mother to the countryside and stayed at his uncle's house.

But Hawkins, who has ideals and ambitions and has seen the outside world, is not willing to accept his fate and become a farmer, living a life guarding a few acres of wheat fields.

But at this moment, an astonishing news suddenly illuminated his extremely troubled life like the dawn of dawn.

The Tulip Alliance issued a call to encourage alliance citizens to privately raid Cyrus!

At the same time, the heroic "White Knight" who successfully robbed the Golden Post Road of Silius and won himself a large amount of wealth was also imprinted in his heart with an image of breaking all powers and shining brightly.

How similar is the powerful Cyrus who suppresses all nations and the Egret Chamber of Commerce who dominates the Ilia Kingdom?!

So with the desire for wealth and the pursuit of his idol's footsteps, Hawkins resolutely embarked on an ocean-going merchant ship bound for the New World.

Finally came to Alvin.

"Although Hawkins himself doesn't pay much attention to it, the Egret Chamber of Commerce seems to have other tricks up his sleeve."

After piecing together Hawkins' complete life, Alvin was thoughtful.

At this time, the emerging aristocratic forces led by the Egret Chamber of Commerce, in addition to normal development, are also using various means to desperately embezzle Ilia's national property.

Mines, woodland, farmland, national industry, colonial resources and even the Royal Central Bank of Ilia.

His greedy appetite is never-ending, and he is also extremely daring!

At least the title of "Storm Tide", the guardian of the Kingdom of Ilia, is not dead yet, and if a new title knight is born in the kingdom in the past few years, are they prepared to end it?

but.

Ivan also discovered in Hawkins' memory that there were many weirdos under Wright's command who had bluish-white complexions and cold temperaments that could freeze people.

He guessed that maybe these guys were the support of the emerging nobles.

Although Hawkins has the inheritance of extraordinary swordsmanship, but the highest level is no more than a trainee, he may not be able to recognize who those people are, but Alvin and Milan can easily see their essence.

That's a group of ghouls in human form!

Got the answer I wanted.

The fog-like gray robes on the two people spread instantly, wrapped their bodies and disappeared into Hawkins' dream.

However, in the shallow dream, only one bird monster disappeared with them, and the other one was left here by Ivan.

In Alvin's residence in the real world, the two people sitting on the sofa slowly opened their eyes. At this time, the coffee brewed on the table was still warm.

Alvin picked up his quilt and took a sip:

"Although this guy's experience is surprisingly rich, there is really nothing wrong with it. The most important thing is that he has outstanding abilities and great potential. He should be able to do the job as my agent."

"You have the final say in your own industry.

However, the divination results show that with the stars reversed, he will be a good helper."

Opposite him, Milan was rapidly switching a deck of tarot cards in his hands, giving his divination results from the perspective of a prophet.

Before that, because the rise was too fast.

The only civilian department under Ivan is the privateer fleet's command room, which is the center of the command and the place where he has the tightest control.

Because the command room will inevitably exercise the privileges enjoyed by the privateer fleet and manage the core secrets of the privateer fleet.

Although most of them do not know the true identity of the "White Knight", they all know that the leader must have great hands and eyes and a profound background, and is inextricably linked to the Tulip official.

After getting it back from Yuanfan that day, Alvin had already hidden the sensitive parts of the draft for the establishment of Mercury Trading Company, and gave it to the civilian staff in the command room for them to help him improve it.

In this level of business cooperation, after the two parties have reached a cooperation intention, there are still countless details that need to be revised and perfected one by one.

Otherwise, when it comes time to implement it, we will inevitably face countless arguments and destroy the friendship and tacit understanding that the two parties have finally established.

It is better to settle the details before actually signing the contract to ensure that future cooperation can proceed smoothly and orderly.

But Alvin, who had no one to use, could only hand over the draft using A and B to refer to both parties to his command room.

Of course, most of the civilian personnel who can join the privateer fleet are not good candidates, although they have been carefully selected.

But there are also "talents" from all walks of life such as accountants who falsify accounts, company clerks who beat up their bosses, bankrupt businessmen, etc.

If there were really talented people, they wouldn't have gotten so far and come under the command of the privateer fleet. After all, this is not a place where business talents such as banks, consortiums, chambers of commerce, etc. should go.

For most of them, the limit of their ability is probably to manage the "Dragoon Pirates" with more than 2,000 people.

So it is conceivable that even with the personal order of the group leader, they were really full of lice and had nowhere to start when faced with such a draft.

But just when they wanted to ask the group leader to recruit Gao Ming, things took a turn for the worse.

Hawkins, who had just joined the "Dragoon Pirates" not long ago and was promoted to the command room because of his literacy and arithmetic expertise, easily straightened out the draft.

Board members, policy management plan, executive personnel, business scope, rights and obligations of both parties, management team composition, office location

It only took one day to come up with a complete and detailed plan, and put forward targeted suggestions even if we didn't understand the actual situation.

Although this kind of business cooperation case is far less complicated than modern society where business is prosperous, the ease with which such documents can be sorted out is amazing enough, at least no less than that of the Marquis's staff.

It attracted Alvin's attention at the first moment, and then he had the glimpse of the previous dream.

At this time, there are also bonuses from former employees who are familiar with the internal affairs of the Bailu Chamber of Commerce. Ivan has already made a decision secretly.

Early the next morning.

Hawkins, who had just woken up, was urgently summoned to the regimental leader's office.

However, when Hawkins carefully arranged his appearance and thought he was about to meet his idol with great joy, he walked into the group leader's office with his head held high.

But instead of seeing the expected Lord White Knight, he met another famous figure from the Tulip Kingdom, a figure who should never appear here under normal circumstances!

At the first sight, Leng Buding almost made Hawkins' legs weaken and he collapsed on the ground.

He was a tall young naval officer holding a gilt command knife and wearing a crisp commodore uniform.

Just standing there and looking at him gave him a huge pressure like a mountain.

Although Hawkins had never seen the young brigadier general, during this period, the official newspapers within the alliance and even the tabloids were full of news about this adult.

That is the youngest Commodore of the Tulip Alliance, Alvin Garriott, who was born in his home country of Ilia but belongs to the Kingdom of Phaletis!

Thinking of the missing leader, the White Knight, Hawkins, who was already extremely smart, had instantly guessed the truth.

"Could it be"

And then Hawkins, who suppressed his excitement, heard a dreamlike voice from the adult's mouth:

"Mr. Hawkins, I invite you in the name of Baron Garriott, Divine Knight, Brigadier General of the Kingdom, Deputy Commander of the Kingdom's Garrison Forces in the New World, and Commander of the 'Dragon Cavalry' privateer fleet."

"I do, Your Excellency, I do!"

Hawkins' face was filled with excitement, and he knelt down on one knee and lowered his head deeply.

Hawkins, who originally wanted to make a career and make a name for himself, joined the "Dragoon Pirates", which is now the most famous and has a tulip privateering license.

In addition to the idol factor, of course, I want to quickly complete the accumulation of the first pot of gold.

Then take this wealth and use your knowledge to join the raging industrial and commercial trend.

He has vaguely seen an opportunity in the current situation, an opportunity to stand in the wind and let pigs fly.

Have you ever thought that the heroic White Knight is actually the youngest brigadier general of Tulip? That you can get the favor of such a big shot?

This situation is basically a one-size-fits-all situation!

It is also an opportunity that every businessman covets. He will seize it even if it means risking his life. Even if it means working as a footman, he is willing to do it.

My original idea of ​​becoming a smuggler disappeared in an instant. If I chose that path, I might succeed, but if I hugged this Lord’s thigh tightly, I would have already succeeded!

Seeing that this recruitment is going smoothly, Alvin can't help but smile. What is the most precious thing in the great era? Of course it is talent!

"Very good, from now on you will be the retainer of the Garriott family and the brigadier general's attendant. You will start working today, no problem!"

Standing up straight, Hawkins' face still flushed with excitement, he replied loudly:

"Not at all, General!"

Ivan glanced at him, nodded with satisfaction and said:

"It's very impressive, but you can give me a military salute, Major Hawkins!"

"ah?"

When he heard that term, Hawkins' heart beat heavily, and he was so happy that he almost fainted.

In the Kingdom of Phaletis, the general level can already appoint a certain number of attendants on its own. The highest civilian attendant can be a major, and the highest for the martial faction is a captain, and the salary is borne by the Navy.
Chapter completed!
