The next day, the sky over the guardian island was cloudless, but the sun was not strong.

Li Ran rubbed his head that was a little painful and got out of bed.

"Last night, it looks like you drank high?"

He smiled bitterly, feeling still a little helpless, his alcohol consumption has not been very good, but yesterday he suddenly wanted to drink, but in the end, he didn't even know how he went to bed and fell asleep.

Li Ran sighed, and after getting dressed, he left the room, and when he went downstairs, he saw Akagi making tea.

"Good morning, I shouldn't have overslept, right?"

"Of course not, Admiral. Akagi changed into her ship maid suit, which was the appearance of a maid suit, but it was very different from the ordinary maid suit, at least it looked like it was troublesome to wear.

However, the feeling of wearing it on the body is very elegant, and with the classical temperament of Akagi, it was originally a very ancient and beautiful flower scroll.

However, after Akagi finished making tea, he took the snacks on the table and ate them not ladylike at all, which made Li Ran feel very ruined.

Sure enough, Akagi is a foodie, a good-looking foodie.

"Admiral, what's on my face?"

Akagi looked at Li Ran in a daze, she blinked a little puzzled, and her mouth was still stained with the foam of the cake.

Li Ran covered his head, sure enough, the Akagi he saw last night must be fake, my Akagi can't be so serious, the current Akagi is normal.

He was amused by his thoughts, then smiled and walked down the stairs and sat down opposite Akagi:

"You, eat so much early in the morning, aren't you afraid of gaining weight?"

"Well, don't be afraid, Admiral, do you want to eat some, these cakes were sent by the maritime merchant in the morning?"

"Elquitus?"

"Well, but the Admiral was sleeping, so I didn't wake you up. ”

"He said something. Li Ran frowned, looked up at the clock, it was just half past eight.

The businessman can't afford to be early, and the other party should have something to say, after all, he left early last night.

"Well, he said that the private cruise ship for the Admiral was already on its way, and it was a letter of delivery. ”

"Delivery book?" Li Ran was stunned, then watched Akagi put down the cake and took out a scroll from the ship's space.

"Well, give. ”

Akagi pushed the scroll in front of Li Ran, made a cup of tea for Li Ran, and then continued to eat her cake, which was more important than the content of the scroll.

Li Ran took the scroll, then untied the rope on it, and found that the content of the delivery book was nothing more than some regulations, but he didn't expect that his joke would make such a practical action by the other party.

Sure enough, capitalists are not ordinary rich, tsk tsk, private cruise ships will send them away.

He was worried about how to go to the Star Luo Islands, but the other party showed sincerity, so he should also show it.

"Akagi, accompany me to the city hall after breakfast. ”

"There's a town hall on the island?"

"Well, it didn't seem to have been before, but it will be after today. ”

"Oh. ”

Akagi nodded, then said:

"Admiral, eat some too. ”

——————————

After breakfast, Li Ran and Chicheng left the villa, and then met an acquaintance on the island - He Hai.

"Your Excellency, how come you have time to come? ”

"You're not developing a playground, why are you here?"

"I just arrived. ”

He Hai wouldn't say that he came overnight, but he looked at Li Ran and seemed to have something on his mind, and asked tentatively:

"Your Excellency Major General has something on your mind?"

Li Ran sighed, then smiled and said:

"It's a little troublesome, by the way, do you know Elquitus?"

"Well, the Ocean Aurora Chamber of Commerce?"

"Well, how creditworthy is he?"

"Well, the person is good, I've dealt with it a few times, what's wrong?"

"Alright, can you do me a favor?"

"Your Excellency, Major General, but it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

When He Hai heard Li Ran say this, he became energetic and patted his fat body.

Li Ran smiled, briefly explained the matter of Elquites sending the cruise ship, and then said:

"You say, should you open a back door for him?"

"Your Excellency, if Elquites is really willing to join, then the Death Route will definitely be more prosperous, at least the number of cargo ships will increase several times. ”

"Why?"

"Ocean Aurora is a big chamber of commerce, with footprints all over the seven major war zones, and there are their freighters on every golden route. ”

"I see, then you do me a favor and go to talk to Elquites on my behalf, when I come back from the ship-watching ceremony, I will stay on the Guardian Island for a while, and the management work during this period will trouble him. ”

"You're going to make him president?"

"No, it's on my behalf to deal with the affairs for a period of time, of course, if the Xiguang Industry Association is established, the position of president is temporarily vacant, you have a chance, of course, others have it. ”

"You're starting a trade association?"

"Well, but that's all for later, and I might have to go back to Dawn Harbor today. ”

"I understand, Your Excellency Major General, rest assured, I will help you coordinate it. ”

"Well, then I'll reserve a seat for you in advance, by the way, Akagi, do you have a blank paper contract?"

"Give. ”

Akagi stayed by the side and didn't speak, but she listened quietly and gave a blank contract paperwork.

Li Ran thought about it for a while and then briefly said about his commission, such as appointing He Hai as his representative, and Erquites as the representative of foreign maritime merchants, first forming the framework of the Dawning Industry Association, and if the cooperation goes well, he will formalize the guild after he returns from the ship-watching ceremony.

signed his name and stamped it with the coat of arms of the major general, and then Li Ran confirmed that there was no problem and handed it to He Hai:

"Okay, I should go back too, probably tomorrow is the day to set sail for the Xingluo Islands, I'll trouble you in the next few days, don't worry, after your playground is built, I will definitely go to the ribbon cutting." ”

He Hai is worthy of being a businessman with a keen sense of smell, otherwise he would not have appeared on the Guardian Island so coincidentally, and then he was a little excited:

"Your Excellency, Major General, rest assured, I will complete the task. ”

"Hmm. ”

Li Ran was noncommittal, he didn't know if the decision he made because of a flash of inspiration was wrong.

Whatever, it's best to make money, and it doesn't matter if you can't, after all, it's just a pie, and you're just building a framework, and it's better to let professional people do professional things.

Li Ran and Akagi left and drove away the private cruise ship sent by Elquites, and it was not the housekeeper who brought the news to Elquites, but He Hai.

These two people, who played a great role in Li Ran's conquest of the sea in the future, ushered in the first fateful encounter.

————————

"Whew, it's finally back. ”

Li Ran stepped on the dock of Xiguang Island and felt very relieved.

"Admiral, welcome back. ”

The destroyers didn't have a class today, and they were given a day off, after all, everyone knew that Li Ran was going to go far away, so the training was properly released.

The fireflies threw themselves into Li Ran's arms, and her attachment to Li Ran was the deepest of all the ship's girls, so she waited at the dock for a long time.

Li Ran rubbed her golden curls, and found that the training ground was not so lively, which was a little strange:

"Don't you have to train today?"

The firefly left Li Ran's embrace, and then said:

"Sister Lexington has given everyone a day off, go, Admiral, I'll take you to a place. ”

"Alas?" Li Ran was pulled by the fireflies, and glanced at Akagi as if asking for help, but heard Akagi say:

"Admiral, I'll go to the Eastern Harbor first, Gagabe has called me. ”

Li Ran had no choice but to be pulled by fireflies and walked towards the central lake deep in the forest.
