Chapter 241

Break through the bay mouth, and the rest of the journey is smooth.

Virginia and Maryland are the most important core supports of the war of independence. The new United States has absolute support here and occupies most of the land.

Especially on both sides of Chesapeake Bay, every inch of land here is full of independence fanaticism.

The sampan fleet at home has an unparalleled war bonus in this water area. Relying on dense coastal forts and limited French allies, even beasts such as the lion dare not easily go deep into the bay to challenge the bottom line of the villagers in the new world.

In short, the first part of ￡ 50000 has been obtained.

The Jackdaw was jubilant. Lorraine had just announced on the deck that everyone on board would receive an additional reward equivalent to half of the annual salary in order to celebrate the success of the first smuggling.

Bell's heart itched at the praise of God and the captain. He quickly handed the hand wheel to the fourth helmsman on the ship and ran to Lorraine with a smile.

"Lo... No, Captain KENWAY, what's my half yearly salary?"

Lorraine rolled his eyes: "I don't think you have the problem of taking money as your life."

"You're wrong. I've been pursuing fame," Bell said naturally. "Why can't I desire money at the same time without affecting it?"

"Must admit, the reason is very good." Lorraine nodded with exaggerated posture and suddenly looked up at the sky. "Bell, it's still far from Baltimore. Isn't it wrong for you to leave the rudder for such a small matter?"

Bell was sharp and suspicious. "Why do I think you're cutting the subject off?"

"How could..."

Before Lorraine finished, Karen moved her shoulders and came over. When she saw the crowd in a circle, she was surprised: "did I miss anything?"

Bell said quickly, "I'm asking our captain what the seaman's salary is for half a year."

"Salary? Didn't you see the contract?"

With doubts on his face, Qi turned to Lorraine.

Lorraine touched his nose awkwardly: "for some special reasons, Bell's last contract was forged by imitating the long contract template. My middle name was missing in Party A's signature, and there was no private seal... Well, bell had no experience in working in a private chamber of Commerce and was fooled by perfection."

Bell said incredulously, "you lied to me?"

"To be exact, I didn't trust you, at least at that time." Lorraine waved like a fly, "but the unhappiness has passed. The new contract will be made up according to the signing time of the last one, including the dividend I told you."

Bell still couldn't believe it: "you lied to me? No! New contract... What's the salary of the real contract?"

Seeing Lorraine look away again, Karen had no choice but to clear her throat and explain in Lorraine's tone.

"The seafarers of the chamber of Commerce eat and live, and share the brilliant prospect of the chamber of commerce with the president himself."

Bell was completely unbelievable: "God, I don't have a salary!"

……

Everyone knows that Bell's pursuit of salary is just an unreasonable release after death and life.

After all, the Drake chamber of commerce is long gone, and the 30% dividend of the General Chamber of commerce is the main part of seafarers' income.

Especially with the opening of smuggling, the average monthly advance income even exceeded the annual profits of most small chambers of Commerce and some medium chambers of Commerce. Drake's sailors stepped out of the middle and high-yield classes, holding their heads high and entering the rare top income ranks.

This also means that once smuggling is normalized, Drake chamber of commerce with an annual income of more than 500000 pounds will officially enter the big stage of top chamber of commerce only in terms of profits.

The sky was clear, the sea was wide, and the Jackdaw drove smoothly in the narrow bay of Chesapeake.

This is a huge Luwa Bay, with a span of 350 kilometers from north to South and 5 to 60 kilometers from east to west. It has lost anxiety and coercion. The Jackdaw barely maintains a speed of 8 to 9 knots. It takes a whole day and a half to reach Baltimore at the head of the bay.

After motivating the crew, Lorraine locked himself in the captain's room.

He wrote a booklet on circular formation defense, including advantages, disadvantages, trajectory, principles, deployment and variants. He also attached the coping methods suitable for the Jackdaw in every predictable situation.

This is the new defense tactics that he and Shaq improve together. Even if the creator is not him, he knows no less about it than Shaq.

Because of his talent, vision and other prerequisites, he even has to win in response. Now I just want to sum up in theory. For him, of course, it is easy to catch.

The motivation for compiling brochures is simpler than the process.

This smuggling starts from gratitude and resentment, and this crazy idea will emerge. The source point is that he wants to make Shaq uncomfortable, or just wants to fight.

But now, this original intention is no longer important.

Lorraine knew very well that he would not find a more cost-effective business in America. Even if he became a full-time pirate, human trafficker or opium merchant, he would not make money faster than reselling arms.

Because life is the most stable general equivalent in the world, and only in the face of the business of war, the publisher will spare no effort to put human life into it.

Human relations, flow, supply and demand, performance

When Zuo Dao sprouted, Lorraine never expected to get stable and high orders, let alone make smuggling a long-term business.

But since by chance, he has made a pie with limited seasonings and directly made himself a supplier directly under the French royal family, what reason can he say to himself?

Every month, after cutting off expenses, costs and dividends, his personal profit can be at least 30000 pounds, which is 300000 in ten months.

How much does three hundred thousand pounds represent?

Since its opening, the business chain of Europe Northwest Branch has been basically mature, and its monthly profit benchmark is 5000 pounds.

If we estimate the bonus of the Caribbean branch after the opening of COSCO, we should eventually be able to climb to 7000, that is, maintain dozens of large and small merchant ships, and the revenue barely reaches a quarter of the bottom of the smuggling guarantee of the Jackdaw.

The basic cost of a class I battleship representing the strongest force of the times is 100000 pounds, and the full allocation is generally no more than 150000 pounds. There are only seven ships like this in Great Britain. In ten months, Lorraine can fully match two... Hang on the wall.

In any case, the monthly income of 30000 pounds is far better than the huge profits of the Nuggets. What's more, it's only the middle of 1779. If Lorraine's memory is correct, the business still has far more than a year to fight.

Such huge interests are worth making way for anything. For Lorraine, the top priority now is to use all means to stabilize and de risk this business road.

Shaq's tactics must be cracked by the jackdaw, not only Lorraine, but also Katrina, bell and Karen included in the command rotation, so as to prevent the accidental loss of the lineup on the ship for various reasons in a long time span.

In this way, writing brochures has become the best option at present.

Who on earth said that?

Books are the ladder of human wealth.

Lorraine's as like as two peas, he drew a gold coin on the top right corner of the cover, and the gold was the same as the messenger that he had won the first pot of gold in Brazil.

When FOCAS's ugly beard was finished, Lorraine rubbed his wrist and walked out of the cabin. At a glance, the bustling and deserted Baltimore port had appeared at the end of the sea level.

There were two small armed ships coming up. The star bars were flying at the tip of the main mast, but they were not the 50 star bars familiar to Lorraine, but connected into a whole circle, with 13 red and white stars and the Great United flag.

Katrina frowned and came over: "Captain, the sea of Baltimore is full of continental boats. We don't prepare white flags. It will be very troublesome to wait for inspection all the way."

Lorraine looked thoughtfully at the empty mast tip of the Jackdaw and whispered, "hang your rose pirate flag. Americans are very smart. They will understand."
