An important step has been taken in the preparation of the chapter.

Sir Parker wants Chuck to join the Drake Chamber of Commerce, and Chuck himself has every desire to join the Chamber of Commerce.

In this way, no matter how strong or weak his ability is, Lorraine can find a suitable position for him, and then use Sir Parker's fame to let Drake's banner be planted in the corners of the New World in the shortest possible time.

Everyone relaxed, and Lorraine asked Miss Aufe to change the tea, and the three of them began to exchange some details as they tasted the tea.

Lorraine glanced at the clock, "It's 45 minutes before Mr. Corterence comes, so we have plenty of time." Mr. Parker, don't know what position you'd like to get? ”

"You are a generous person who has given the chapter president ample opportunity to showcase his talents. If possible, I would like to become President of the Caribbean Chapter. ”

"You want to be the president?" Lorraine almost choked on the tea, "Look, you haven't been through business before, aren't you ......?"

"I have developed the first three-year development plan of the Chamber of Commerce, which you can see."

Chuck interrupted Lorraine without saying a word, reaching out and handing over a thick leather book with buttons.

Lorraine had to take it and open it in front of Chuck.

Inside is a detailed plan for the development of the branch chamber, from the selection of the headquarters, the formation of the team, to the expansion of the trade zone, the penetration of the territories outside the British Territory, and the echelon of the offshore and ocean-going fleets......

Chuck even laid out a clear timeline and a perfect budget for everything, which fully showed his professional background, as well as his long-standing thoughts and ambitions.

Lorraine could not find any obvious mistakes in the plan, although it was slightly idealistic, but at least within the British colonies, Chuck's status meant that he was qualified to propose an idealized timetable, such as obtaining trade permits for all British colonies within three months.

"You've made me think of you better." Lorraine closed the leather book and said sincerely.

Chuck's excitement was palpable: "Sir, do you think I am up to the position of president?" ”

"There's no urgency." Lorraine shook the leather notebook in his hand, "Your plan ignores two things. First, we have a well-established Northwest Europe Chapter, which should be the Northwest Europe Distributor of the Caribbean Chapter, and there is no reason for the Chamber of Commerce to invest twice in the same trade route. Second, we are a privateer, didn't Lieutenant Colonel Nelson tell you that? ”

"We're a privateer?"

Lorraine smiled and nodded.

Chuck stood up with a snort: "Can I borrow your desk for it?" I need a pen, and a ...... in your hand."

Lorraine handed him back the notebook: "Please, Mr. Parker, Carmen and I will go to the balcony to enjoy the sea view, what do you think, half an hour?" ”

"In 40 minutes, I only need 5 minutes to introduce the new plan."

"Good confidence, I like it."

Leaving Chuck to revise the plan, Lorraine and Carmen both make their way to the Step Balcony.

Carmen opened the umbrella to cover her mouth, and smiled: "I think you seem to like him very much." ”

"A 26-year-old, full of energy, self-righteous, and capable of matching, can't be disliked."

"Oh my God, my captain called a 26-year-old gentleman a young man...... If I'm not mistaken, you've just turned 19, Captain! ”

"It's almost half a year before my birthday, and I'm 18 and a half years old, to be exact." Lorraine corrected, "But biological age is not the only reference standard, and you are only in your early 20s, can't you compare to the mature one in the house?" ”

"It seems that you also know that he is not stable enough."

"Then arrange a stable vice president for him. What do you think of Daddy Leonard? ”

"Arthur. Leonard? Carmen blinked, "You're going to use a large number of long-term sailors who stay on the Golden Deer?" ”

"There's no way around it." Lorraine shrugged helplessly: "You know, we won't have much time to manage the Caribbean chapter in the future, and he will be more independent than the Northwest European branch." The sailors, though inferior in knowledge and skill to the young nobles of the locals, had experience, experience, and loyalty that they could rely on. For clubs, these are valuable things. ”

"The heart of defense is indispensable?"

"The heart of defense is indispensable, that's the truth."

……

Chuck spent 40 minutes proving his talent at running a chamber of commerce.

The development plan of the branch has been greatly adjusted, and the most important thing is to turn the guiding ideology.

In his original plan, the Drake-Caribbean Chapter was not so much a chapter of the General Chamber of Commerce as an independent chamber of commerce with transoceanic trade as its core profit model.

In the new plan, the Caribbean branch has become a real production supply and marketing branch.

Chuck was going to start by opening up all the British colonies' trade licenses, forming a small offshore transshipment fleet that was known for its flexibility and speed, and earning operating costs for its chapters through low-profit offshore trade.

The formation of the ocean-going fleet, which was huge, was split into two parts according to the ratio of three to seven.

Three years later, the smaller one used the funds of the Chamber of Commerce to form its own business, start ocean trade, and export New World goods for the Northwest European Branch.

The larger share was given to the privateers.

He seems to be very optimistic about Lorraine's privateer combat power, and directly set a privateering target of seven Brig-level ships in three years for Lorraine, and has never thought about the problem of stealing chickens and rice.

Chuck even identified an internal trade model with the Northwest European Branch, including the Northwest Europe Ocean Pick-up and Caribbean Supply, with the former adding 20% after deducting costs and the latter 50%.

This price is much lower than the market price in Europe, and he has reserved enough profit margins for the Northwest of Europe, but also left enough profit for his club.

Overall, Lorraine was happy with the plan.

He smiled and closed Piben: "Chuck. Mr. Parker, there are three things I want you to do next. ”

Chuck cheered up, "Speak, please." ”

"First of all, within ten days, the plan will be completed into a formal project book, and the board of directors of the General Chamber of Commerce needs to approve and keep the bottom for the evaluation of the performance of the branch."

"I can do it in eight days."

"It's still ten days, because you have other things to do." Lorraine smiled, "Second thing, do you know the small town of Lucy on the West Coast?" ”

"Know ......"

"I need you to buy me a property within three days, which will be my temporary residence and the office of the Chamber of Commerce for these years. The headquarters of the branch should also be purchased, including the headquarters, trading house and warehouse, and the time should not exceed five days, which is a test of your business ability. ”

Chuck froze in place: "Sir, it's not me who shirked it...... If I don't open my mouth to Uncle Peter, I will have ...... funds."

"In the afternoon, you can go to Ms. Carmen and collect five thousand pounds, and if you pass the exam, you will get the rest of the club's start-up capital."

"Oh my God, five thousand pounds!" Chuck turned his worries into joy, stood up like a real soldier and thumped his chest with his legs, "I won't let you down, sir!" ”

"Very good......

Knock knock.

Before Lorraine could finish her sentence, Ms. Ofee knocked on the door of the meeting room again: "It's not that I want to disturb you, Mr. Captain, but there's another one downstairs named Richard. Mr. Cotterance, he also said that he had made an appointment with you to meet in the morning. ”

"He didn't lie to you, Miss McCarthy, please bring him up." Lorraine smiled at Miss Ofie, turned back to Chuck and continued, "Mr. Korterance is your third thing. You are already the interim president of the future Caribbean chapter, and I think it would be more appropriate for you to conduct the next interview. ”

"Me?"

"Inspecting subordinates is also a manifestation of the president's ability, isn't it?" Lorraine stood up and gestured to her seat, "From now on, this meeting room will be handed over to you." ”

Chuck has a sense of unreality falling in the clouds, and at the same time unreal, he vaguely feels a sense of respect and trust.

He watched Lorraine and Carmen turn to the study, and suddenly asked, "Chairman, do you have any suitable industrial assessment for the admiral of the branch?" I mean, except to buy a boat. ”

"Anything other than buying a ship?" Lorraine thought for a moment and said, "My Golden Deer is now at Port Royal, and the hull is slightly damaged. She's a good destroyer, and if you need to put Mr. Corterance to the test, it's a good idea to arrange for a repair. ”

"I see!"
