Plymouth's Town Hall is a small, classical light brown building dating back to 1439 and was the first building to be laid after the city was founded and named.

The building bears witness to Plymouth's illustrious history, including the 1557 and 1580 editions of Francis Fried. Drake's two voyages around the world, the Royal Navy's defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588, the Mayflower's trip to the New World in 1620, and the Puritan Revolution that changed the history of England and overthrew the monarchy since 1640.

The Commercial Division, which is in charge of the registration and preparation of the Chamber of Commerce, is located on the east side of the third floor of the building, facing the direction of the Red Lighthouse in Devonhamn.

Deputy Director Victor. Wesley received Lorraine, with an atlas on his desk, open in the middle, displaying two flags, one black and one white.

The white is the Chamber of Commerce flag, with the St. George's Cross of England as the base, and a delicate pansy flower painted in the center, mainly purple, bright yellow in the middle circle, and snow white in the core.

The black one is a pirate flag, plain black background, with a pure white skeleton in the center, the skeleton's eye sockets are burning with a heterochromatic fire, the left eye is purple, the right eye is yellow, and the X-shaped cross is a harpoon and oar.

Mr. Wesley rummaged through the letters of introduction on the table......

"The Roy Chamber of Commerce, the Stika Chamber of Commerce, the Elmind Chamber of Commerce...... Mr. Drake's friends in the business world are indeed broad, but the law doesn't force a national franchise, does it? ”

Lorraine bowed slightly: "It's not easy for a small business group to make a living, and you can basically catch and sell what, thank you Mr. Wesley for your understanding." ”

"A gentleman's recommendation...... Rod. Viscount Schee, Director of the Administration Department of the County of Mary, Callas. Lattice, as well as Mary County Councilman Carl. Pidick. He frowned, "Mr. Drake is Scottish?" ”

"I'm English, and I'm a native of Devon."

"A Devonshire gentleman who can be recognized by the Scots......" Mr. Wesley's expression was much kinder, "Devon is proud of you." ”

"Thank you for your compliment."

"You have the basic conditions for the establishment of a chamber of commerce, a guarantee of 1,000 pounds, I believe it will be difficult for you." Mr. Wesley folded all the letters, revealing the flag picture in the album, and his face was grim, "Mr. Drake......"

"You say."

"You are your own person, so I will speak more abruptly." He took a breath, "Do you have any misunderstanding about the Chamber of Commerce?" You know, we are merchants, not pirates. ”

Lorraine lifted the suitcase she had with her, took out her privateer license, and laid it flat in front of Mr. Wesley.

"Sir, I'm not going to register an ordinary chamber of commerce, it's a privateer chamber of commerce."

"Privateer...... This is ......" Mr. Wesley's eyes widened, "You're actually the Drake of the Drake family!" ”

"As an outcast, I am not proud of my family." Lorraine tapped lightly on the glass of the privateer, "Sir, I am only proud of my great ancestors. ”

……

The Drake Chamber of Commerce was officially established.

Mr. Wesley used the fastest speed to apply for the original and duplicate of the Chamber of Commerce license, ship and artillery trading license, and the Kingdom of England trade license, as well as the Chamber of Commerce information, flag, and privateer license.

This means that Drake's privateer license will no longer represent Lorraine itself as of today, and the scope of the license will be extended to the entire fleet of Drake Chamber of Commerce.

Lorraine thanked Mr. Wesley in a reserved manner, and when he walked out of the town hall in his company, he could no longer resist the impulse of his heart, and drove straight to Searle, the largest civilian port in Plymouth, in a horse-drawn carriage.

At the ship exchange in Port Serre, he met with Karen who had arrived here first, and asked, "I hope that in this day and a half, you have chosen a new flagship for the Chamber of Commerce." ”

"Actually, I probably did a little better than I expected......" the big man Karen touched the tip of his nose, looking shy.

He took Lorraine into the parlor of the exchange and handed Lorraine two sets of deeds.

There are two Brigentin-type two-masted mixed-sail fast ships, one 12 years old and the other 15 years old, and the materials selected are Canadian firs that perform well in civilian ships and are famous for their high quality and low price.

They were originally the property of a colonial chamber of commerce, but due to the impact of the War of Independence, the chamber of commerce had financial difficulties, so the original owner reluctantly parted his love and chose to sell the ship.

Clen has already gone to the dock to inspect the actual ship, although the ship is old, but because of proper maintenance, the performance of the ship is very intact, and only a simple care is enough to cope with any situation at sea.

They are sold in packages and the price of the package is ...... 3700 pounds.

The price was frighteningly cheap, and Lorraine couldn't figure out why she had been able to hit the good fortune.

It wasn't until the order was placed that Clen paid the trader £4,000 without changing his face, and only whispered to Lorraine after the deed was officially assigned to the Chamber of Commerce.

"Every trader has some unique stock in their hands and they never show up on the floor for trading cards, which I knew when I was an apprentice in Devon."

Lorraine suddenly realized.

Two Brigentines were officially delivered, the younger one named Butterfly Flower and the older one Clover.

At this time, there were still 6,800 pounds left in the chamber of commerce's activity funds, and Lorraine did not blink, and directly purchased 20 guns for the Butterfly Flower according to the standard configuration, costing a total of 5,300 pounds.

The rest of the money could not be touched, and the Clover sailed north, collecting all the six-pounder guns at Elgin for temporary fire.

After a full week of preparations, two majestic Brittingen and Artis Beauty, flying the brand-new pansy flag, returned to Elgin along the twisting coastline of the British Isles, and held the first general meeting of the Chamber of Commerce at the Drake Trading House.

Henna, Karen, Noah, Pierce, Ramos, Eddie, and Carmen, all of whom were shareholders in the new chamber, each dressed up to attend.

"My dear friends, the Drake Chamber of Commerce and the Northern Europe Chamber of Commerce have been established."

Thunderous applause.

A group of young people, the eldest Eddie is 29 years old, and the youngest is 10 years old, they have their own real industry from this moment, and since then they have left the black merchant class and become the real maritime merchants of this era.

Lorraine raised her glass to them, and the azure cocktail was as deep as the sea, swaying gently in the goblet like a wave.

"Our chamber of commerce is still very weak for the time being. £1,500 in cash, two Brigentin, four Kirk, and less than £4,000 in stock. ”

"These things symbolize wealth in Elgin, but in the world of merchants...... They are not worth mentioning. ”

"But we're young!" Lorraine suddenly laughed, "Young man, it's enough to have a dream, what do you want money for?" ”

Everyone burst into laughter and raised their wine glasses.

Karen's voice was especially loud in the crowd, and he shouted: "Hail to our poor youth!" ”

"Salute to our great dreams!"

"Salute to our Admiral!"

"Cheers!"
