Qiao An was stunned for a moment when faced with the sudden question!
Then he said to Qiao Luo in a gentle tone: "It's okay, it's just a small matter. It's rare for you to come back, so don't worry about those trivial matters. If you come back rarely, just chat with me these days."
Qiao An did not tell the whole story immediately, instead just letting Qiao Luo rest at home for a few days.
However, Qiao Luo was not so easy to dismiss. He saw something was wrong in No. 1's hesitant expression, so he continued to ask! He looked like I won't give up until you tell me!
"You won't call so many stewards back to discuss a small matter. Father, you might as well tell me. Besides, I will have to be involved in the family business sooner or later. Tell me early so that I can adapt!" Qiao Luo was struggling on the side.
put!
Until Qiao An couldn't bear Qiao Luo's entanglement and finally spoke!
"This!" Qiao An was silent for a while and sighed slightly!
"Forget it!" You will have to face this problem sooner or later in the future, so it would be better to tell you earlier!
Then he told Qiaoluo that during this period, the world government not only increased taxes 10 times before, but also aggressively seized their family's business channels in order to maintain the safety of waterways!
"But as long as this transportation is guaranteed to be successful, the family will be free to deal with the suppression of the world government." Qiao An said calmly, patting his chest.
After figuring out the whole story, Qiaoluo thought for a while and said with a serious face: "Father, I think this matter is not that simple. Judging from the actions of the World Government, they are determined to
To fully take over our family's business is not as simple as simply raising taxes."
"Even if we can deliver the goods to old customers in time this time, what about next time? There will always be a time when we fail, and by then, the family will still have to face the problems we are encountering now."
"This! I have also considered the issues you mentioned, but there is no way. The world government has blocked our transportation channels, and we have to go through the channels opened by them. Otherwise, our transportation time and cost will be greatly increased.
." Qiao An said helplessly!
"Can you tell me about the routes used by my father's family?" Qiao Luo said to Qiao An!
"Why do you ask this?" Qiao An asked doubtfully!
"Father, just introduce it to me. What's the use?
You'll know later! Let me put it out there first, and I'll tell you later."
"Okay!" Then Qiao An took out the navigation map of the four seas, spread it out casually, and said to Qiao Luo: Look, the geographical location of the family at this time is the South China Sea.
After saying that, he pointed to the family’s position on the map!
"Above are the North Sea and the East China Sea, which are divided into two parts by the first half of the Great Line. The one closest to the family is the West Sea, which can be reached by going up through the Red Earth Continent." Qiao An introduced carefully.
"But as far as the family is concerned, the living locations of all major customers are in the front and rear halves of the Grand Route, and trade across the world is just a drop in the bucket for the former!"
"The route we usually operate is to transport it to the Red Earth Continent through here, and then through Malinjoa to enter the New World and the first half of the Grand Line."
"It's okay for the New World, where the prestige of the World Government is of no use at all. We don't have to worry about the World Government's intervention when transporting our goods in the New World."
"There is no good solution for the first half of the Grand Route. After all, they have absolute control over the first half of the journey!"
"The problem the family is facing now is that if you want to pass this route, you must pass by the port built by the World Government in Malinjoa, right?" Qiaoluo said!
"That's right!"
"And down here is the base camp of the World Government. This will greatly increase our future transportation risks. After all, it is too close to the Tianlong people, and they may take action against us at any time."
"After all, this is not our base camp, Nanhai. If something happens, we won't be able to provide immediate support." Qiao An also had a faint smile on his face at this time!
"Does it mean that the family has no other route besides the one opened by the World Government? For example, entering from the Twin Gorges." Qiaoluo asked doubtfully!
"Yes, yes!"
"But compared to the World Government's waterway, this route is full of dangers and uncertainties, and the time spent in the middle is too long. The family will not choose it unless it is absolutely necessary!" Qiao An said to Qiao An.
Luo explained!
"So now it seems that the world government wants to slowly eat away at our family, just like boiling a frog in warm water." Qiaoluo analyzed!
Qiao An: "Yes! You are right, we can't think of a good solution for a while, so we can only sell all the goods now
Send it out and slowly solve those problems!"
Qiao Luo thought for a while, carefully recalling the business companies in his previous life and the scenes in the pirate anime, hoping to find useful information and solve the family's problems!
After thinking about it for a long time, everything from the development of society, to the establishment of some famous companies, to Luffy's experience when he went to sea, all flashed through his mind one by one.
Finally, a thought flashed before Qiao Luo's eyes!
"Yes!" Qiao Luo jumped up excitedly at this moment, hugged Qiao An and shouted: "Father, I have thought of the key to solving the problem!"
"How to solve it, tell me." At this time, Qiao An was slightly suspicious of Qiao Luo's words, but thought he was a crooked idea that he came up with out of curiosity.
"Father, does the family's cargo generally travel through the four seas?" Qiao Luo asked!
"That's right, why are you asking this?" Qiao An asked doubtfully.
Qiaoluo: "For the family's cargo, you can start from the South China Sea, directly enter the windless zone, and then sail into the Grand Route."
"How do you solve the problem of sailing in the windless zone? Even if you solve the above problems, how can you solve it in the face of endless sea kings." Qiao An instantly saw the shortcomings of this problem and immediately put them into consideration.
Pointed it out.
"Although the family has the ability to overcome these problems, the cost is too high. We would rather choose the latter than the world government's difficulties!"
Then he added: "Even if these problems don't exist, how can you find a safe route after entering the Grand Line?"
Qiao Luo: "Father, don't worry, let me introduce you slowly."
"The first question is actually not difficult! Has Father ever heard of Hailou Stone?" Qiao Luo said.
"It's the Sea Tower Stone that can disable ability users. Does that have anything to do with the family's predicament?" Qiao An asked!
"That's right! That's it! Insert the stone with the Sea Tower Stone on the bottom of the ship! It will protect you from the attacks of the Sea Kings in the windless zone. However, I heard that only Dr. Vegapunk, a scientist at the Navy Headquarters, can use this thing.
And the country of Wano in the new world masters this technology.
"But I think it's not too difficult to get these with the family's methods." Qiao Luo looked at Qiao An and said!
Qiao An nodded gently and then motioned Qiao Luo to continue...!
