The fourth floor of Drake's house is a huge and transparent ladder conference room, which can accommodate more than 200 people. Although it is cleaned every day, it is rarely used.

The last time it was put into use, it was the 1785 Miami annual meeting with the largest number of participants and the second largest proportion of participants in the history of Drake chamber of Commerce.

As the first annual meeting after the General Chamber of Commerce moved to Miami, on December 15 last year, 147 partner employees scattered all over the world left their jobs and rushed to the conference hall.

But the funny thing is that this annual meeting did not prepare for the general assembly level issues, and there was none.

Drake chamber of Commerce has long ended the framework construction period of globalization. The core direction of the next 30 or even 100 years has been determined. Now what needs to be done is not correction, but filling.

How to enrich the established framework and how to achieve the objectives of the chamber of Commerce within or before the planning period.

Lorraine and other Drake need to consider these things right now, and these are just details. The suitable implementation and implementation is not the General Chamber of Commerce, but the groups and chapters under it.

Therefore, Wu Huanhuan's partners gathered from all over the world and argued about their plans and needs for 9 days. After Christmas, Wu Huanhuan ran back to their respective battlefields.

This large-scale annual meeting is of course meaningful, drawing on the strengths of others and brainstorming.

However, compared with the time saved by each group and branch holding the annual Club nearby, these small meanings seemed to be of less value. This was Lorraine's sincere feeling at that time.

Just how to say

Just like being born as a person, you need to take into account the sense of ritual in life. An enterprise also needs ritual ornament in the process of development.

If partners can really feel the vigorous and prosperous development momentum of Drake chamber of Commerce, the consideration of efficiency can be reduced to secondary, especially the temporary impact.

The mighty annual meeting ended, and only a week later, the venue was reopened.

Everyone gathered in a short time. There are Lorraine, henna and Noah who were originally at Drake's house; Katrina, who is still unable to leave her wheelchair for the time being; There is Wang Ye, who came back from visiting friends in Boston not long ago; Daniel, who officially ended his treatment and returned from Fort France with LEV; And Karen, who was so busy that he didn't touch the ground during this period, and Carmen, the only one who made Karen sigh that Freon was so busy that he didn't leave home.

All the faces were dignified. When they were called, Lorraine had told them the cause and effect.

Carmen sat beside Lorraine, absentmindedly stirring the coffee in front of him: "bell Judea, is his role really changed?"

"Not really."

Lorraine's folded arms supported his chin like a brace. It seemed that he couldn't maintain his posture as a whole.

"Bell may be a spy for Shaq, a spy for the Admiralty, or a simple yawn. Of course, this may be pitifully small."

"I understand your mood." Katrina's eyes are cold. "But bell judia is not our negligence, nor is he acharin. The so-called mouth debt is just wishful thinking."

"I know." Lorraine sighed. "Carmen arranged for Sharon to invite bell, so he wouldn't be on guard. He just thought today's gathering was to listen to Carmen's report on the development progress of Miami."

"Before he comes, let's sort out the relevant things. Carmen."

Carmen opened the document in front of him without expression.

"Bell St. Brad Judea, the first successor of the Earl of St. Brad in England, the former major of the Royal Navy of Great Britain, the shareholder of Drake General Chamber of Commerce, the member of the board of directors, the first chief commander of the fleet directly under him, the elected helmsman of valkiri, the first order navigator, and the professor of ship operation at the maritime School of the University of Miami, this is the information we are familiar with."

"Bell Judea joined the General Chamber of Commerce in 1779. He first participated in Halloween and played an important role in it. He became famous in World War I."

"After joining the KENWAY business group, he was suspected of contacting his old colleagues privately. Later, we established an intelligence channel with Chris Emmons. He played an important role and was also the main person in charge of this line."

"It is precisely because of the connection with Chris Emmons that we have been preparing for his whereabouts since 79, and strive to cut off the contact clues between KENWAY business group and Drake chamber of Commerce."

"We concocted the disagreement between bell judia and the captain, fabricated the information that bell judia left his post after the Halloween operation and joined the kenvi business group, forged 16 documents that should be recorded and can reflect the matter, 49 documents that can not reflect the matter, deliberately deleted and abolished 12, but the archives and fragments were carefully put into the archives."

"Bell Judea began his activities as a member of the kenvi business group, during which he deliberately avoided contact with Royal Navy officers, including the sea sweeping operation."

"At the same time, through layers of inventory control, our capital is also interfering with the judgment of the Royal Navy. Considering the inevitable confluence between the business group and the chamber of Commerce, except bell judia, each of us has a false identity in the business group, and no identity is red except Edward kenvey, including bell judia."

"In 1781, the KENWAY business group was cancelled, and it was wholly acquired by Drake's capital and the capital controlled by us. According to the information, Edward kenweixi, his entourage, that is, bell judia and our false identity, followed by a total of 5 people. They disappeared, and the others were added to the operation of the chamber of Commerce in various positions."

"It took me two years to digest these false identities. Except bel Judea, two people were dismissed for negligence. One died of illness and the rest died at sea."

"Bell Judea is the last person who can be verified by the kenvi business group, but he bought back the Earl of his family. This alone proves that our work is effective and his past is no longer influential."

Carmen slammed the document and raised his head: "all the things I just said are the special secrets of Drake chamber of Commerce. There are only two records, one is kept in the underground archives under the Miami monument, and the other is stored in disorder. It is scattered in 197 historical archives of Southampton, New York, Luxi, sundana and jackdaw. There is no possibility of leakage at both archives."

"All things are handled by me, and only I know the whole story of the incident, and there is no possibility of divulging secrets on the implementation side."

"However, the relationship between the KENWAY business group and the Drake chamber of Commerce has indeed been exposed. To sum up, bell Judea is the only suspect, and I can be responsible for my own judgment."

When he said this, Carmen looked at Lorraine affectionately. Lorraine looked back with gratitude and shook his head gently.

"Bell's suspicion is my judgment. As you know, Carmen has no time to care about these trifles these days."

Lorraine smiled.

"By the way, at the moment, should Kao negotiate with the radicals of the black feather department in Malang town?"

Carmen knows that Lorraine wants to protect her. After all, we have accumulated profound friendship over the years. In contrast, Carmen, who has always been committed to the operation of the chamber of Commerce, is more emotionally alienated.

Suspicion, conviction, trial.

It doesn't matter whether things are right or wrong. Carmen simply doesn't want Lorraine and his crew to be estranged, and Lorraine doesn't want Carmen to be the target for everyone to vent their sense of powerlessness.

Carmen understood this, and even more from Lorraine's words, he had made a decision.

So she obediently followed Lorraine's words and turned the topic: "the judgment of the development office on this negotiation is pessimistic. Including the black feather department, there are radical parties in large and small tribes in Florida that are hostile to Miami."

"Spain is just an excuse, and large-scale immigration is only a manifestation. We have settled the land with them. They can't get more. Now they just want to drive us to the sea."

Haina raised her eyebrows and spoke for the first time today: "kill them?"

Carmen nodded and shook his head, "kill them, but we don't have to come forward."

"Since there are radicals and moderates who welcome coexistence, we have been infiltrating and cultivating them."

"In the black feather department alone, 11 of the 17 elders have great interests in Miami, and the others are similar. They can't escape our palm. As long as we like, those barbarians who want to war will be uprooted at any time."

"The key is, when do we need them to die?"

Carmen held her slender neck high.

"Miami needs a hearty victory, a real war different from the Biscay Bay drill. It will let people see the security of Miami and further stimulate the upsurge of land price and immigration. This is the most valuable contribution that those people can make to Miami."

"The war will begin soon and then end. The victory will be ours, but now I just hope that this victory will more or less offset our losses today..."
