To be honest, if Kuro were the king of Dressrosa, he would definitely not agree to the change of place.
It’s not like that idiot from the Kingdom of Two Horses who owed a favor and spent hundreds of millions of beli on it.
He is just trying, and his psychological bottom line is five thousandths, which is 0.05%.
I originally wanted to talk to David, he would have earned even 10%.
Unexpectedly, he actually agreed directly?!
what's the situation?
Kuro looked at David blankly for a while and couldn't help but said: "Are you considering it? I think you can negotiate the price. You can give me 10%."
"No, I think your suggestion is very pertinent!" David said calmly, even thinking that this was what he should do.
From the moment he was chosen as king by his master, he had been thinking about what his master had besides his wish for world peace.
To do this, he obtained information about Kuro.
The master has territory on Pegasus Island. The entertainment industry on Pegasus Island is his, and the land is also his.
The master also has influence in Shampoo land. Although the land is not his, he can still get the tax revenue.
Then David realized it!
The master still wants the territory, but because he is the navy, he cannot own his own territory openly. I have never heard that the navy can belong to the king. If there is no such factor, the king of Dressrosa should be the master.
That's right.
David felt from the bottom of his heart that only his master was worthy of this throne.
However, Dressrosa does not have the master's legal claim. Even if he abdicates, the master cannot take over the throne under the eyes of the World Government.
But the master is still the master. If you choose yourself as the king, many things will be convenient.
For example, like now, land is obtained through so-called investment.
This is just an excuse, an excuse to deceive the world government. In this way, he can get the land he wants. For example, if he takes 30% of the territory controlled by Dressrosa, as long as it is evenly distributed, all the land he wants can be obtained.
If it is a key location, it would be equivalent to directly controlling Dressrosa.
This is the wisdom of the master!
It is, it is.
David kept bending down to salute, his body was faintly trembling.
It was a tremor of excitement, a tremor of applause for the master's wisdom!
He understands, he understands everything!
"Thirty percent is enough, sir. If it's 10%, your plan, no, there may be problems with your investment."
He had to hold back and not reveal the master's plan, as that would be a blasphemy against the master's wisdom.
"hiss"
Kuro felt like he had a toothache.
What's going on?
It's not enough for him as a buyer to take the initiative to lower the price, but you as a seller think this price is very good?
Who is the buyer and who is the seller?
But there are advantages, so if you don’t take advantage of them, you wouldn’t be a bastard.
It just so happens that he wants to do business in the New World. Now that Gulan Tezoro is gone, the New World lacks a large entertainment city. It just so happens that he has conquered the G-3 sea area. If he can start from the islands near the G-3 sea area,
If we build a tourist route all the way to Dressrosa, wouldn't it be a huge profit?
Think about it, bring out the characteristics of each island, and then connect to the next island, and finally go straight to the [Land of Love, Passion and Toys], a one-stop tourism and entertainment, which is more profitable than Pegasus Island.
He happened to have a big ship on hand, with half of the Gulan Tezoro left. He originally wanted to use this ship to hit people.
But now that I think about it, it seems a bit wasteful.
Xiu Yixiu can be used as a cruise ship, docking at each developed island, enjoying the characteristics of the island, and then returning to the ship to eat, drink and have fun during the rest time.
Crowley said with joy: "David, if you are the king, you'd better build a sea train from Dressrosa to Raya Island."
If you add the sea train, tourists can choose freely, or they can stay on the island and then take the sea train to the next island.
No matter what, he makes money.
The kind that can make a lot of money!
"Stay for dinner tonight and we will discuss it in detail." Cullo said to David while biting his cigar.
"My pleasure, sir!" David said excitedly.
This time not only did I meet the master, help him, but I even got to have dinner with him. This is really great!
…
evening.
In the private room of the navy canteen, Kuro sat at the head table, holding David in his arms and talking enthusiastically.
Lida, who was in the deputy position, was eating silently.
Crowe pushed up his glasses and didn't know what he was thinking, and poured a glass of wine from time to time.
Cass and Wilbur sat aside, staring at Clow and David as they talked, nodding from time to time.
Ain sat there and cut the steak elegantly.
All the colonels are here.
This is also the command of G-3 except Kuro.
"Let me tell you, you can't expand your territory so blindly. No matter what goals you have, if the progress is so fast, you must have a lot of domestic conflicts."
"There are too many races in this world, and their customs are all different. It cannot be summarized by your so-called 'advanced' Dressrosa. You are right to use people from every conquered country equally, but it is not enough.
, because you were fighting before, there was a unified outlet for all conflicts, but now that you are not fighting, you have to change your approach."
Cullo chewed on his cigar and blew out the smoke, and said: "Work, everyone works, you pay for it yourself, and then let them work. I am not afraid to tell you that I want 30% of your real estate to develop tourism features, so you
Find a good location and let them do construction. I won't let you suffer any losses in future profits. You manage and operate it on my behalf. I'll tell you the specific method. How about we split it 50-50."
"Okay, sir." David nodded.
That look, quite a bit of gratitude, made Kuro lose control of it all of a sudden.
Let you contribute, let you manage, let you run the business, I will just invest money and get the land. This 50% share is already too much. Why did you not only not counter-offer, but why are you thanking me?
In comparison, it was not so easy to cheat Lida out of money.
"Come on, don't say much, just go away."
Qrow raised his glass and stretched it forward.
David held the cup with both hands, gently bumped the edge of the cup against the bottom of Cullo's cup, and drank it all in one gulp.
This made Kuro a little embarrassed and said: "Then, your islands are separated by the sea. It is not enough to be a unified country. Besides, you are not unified. The islands are too far apart. I
Let me teach you a trick. You come up with a belief, such as gods, heroes, chivalry, etc., and promote it. It should be true, good, and beautiful, so that when people hear it, they think it is beautiful, and then they all believe in this belief.
Your country is truly unified."
This is the history of past lives.
In the Mediterranean Sea and Europe to the west, the terrain is flat and there are many countries. The geographical location is not as good as that of his hometown.
At that time in history, his hometown was blocked by mountains to the west, vast grasslands to the north, the sea to the east, and the sea and jungle to the south. As long as the land of his hometown was unified, he would become the overlord and violently attack the surrounding small countries.
Later, a unified thought and civilization emerged, relying on this to maintain unity. To this day, even if Kuro traveled through time for more than twenty years, it is still engraved in his bones.
But in the West, because it is too chaotic, a great unification is impossible.
ah?
Rome?
Rome is in Zhangjiakou!
Without a unified geopolitics, another thing will emerge, and that is faith.
Historically, they have relied on monotheism to maintain this disguised unity. It doesn't matter if they have different races, different countries, or different customs.
As long as you believe in Yishen, then we are one family.
Well, except God’s filial son.
"Belief?"
After listening to Crowley's words, David was stunned and looked at Crowley as if enlightened.
"So that's it! Master, did you even expect this? Sbarasi! Sbarasi! Master, compared with your wisdom, my thoughts are like dust, and you are the moon in the sky!"
Wei's face turned red with excitement.
He was still thinking about how to use the "Quotations of Justice", but the master's words made him stop thinking about it.
The master had directly anticipated what he was going to do!
Kuro waved his hand and said modestly: "No, no, just a little superficial knowledge. This is the process of history, not mine."
"justice!"
Wilbur also blushed and stared straight at Kuro, "Just use justice, Mr. Kuro! Justice is the concept that everyone should have. No matter who they are, they will have justice!"
"Justice? Hmm. That's right, but this thing has to be unified. Aren't you two very good at justice? You can discuss it with David." Qrow touched his chin and thought it was OK.
Cass and Wilbur are good at playing justice, especially Cass, who is a bearded man, and he gets a headache whenever anything happens.
I just want to find something for them to do so that they don't have to come over for no reason.
Um.
My back is a little itchy.
Kuro subconsciously scratched his back and blew out the smoke again.
