The next day.

Early in the morning, Carrera Shipbuilding welcomed two distinguished guests.

Mr. Bingshan, the chairman of the company and the mayor of the Seven Waters City, together with the secretary Miss Kalifa, greeted the arrival of the two distinguished guests at the gate of the company.

It was none other than Nanamukai Galen, who had recently become famous on the sea, and his female companion, Miss Nami.

Galen knew he was too well-known, and he knew that there were CP9 agents lurking in the city.

If a big man like him came to Franky, a little-known gangster, it would be too eye-catching and suspicious.

Therefore, Galen's purpose in coming to the Capital of Seven Waters this time is to discuss business with Carrera Shipbuilding Company, and he does have a big business to discuss with Chairman Bingshan.

The two sides exchanged pleasantries at the gate for a while, and the iceberg respectfully led the way ahead, while Califa, dressed as a secretary, quietly cast his eyes on Galen's body from time to time to look up and down.

Galen is both a key figure in Califa's mission and a suspected owner of her government agent, so her sudden appearance here will naturally attract Califa's attention.

Galen, on the other hand, was wary, but responded to Califa's gaze with a kind smile on his face.

"Galen?"

After noticing the "little interaction" between Galen and Kalifa, Nami unconsciously tightened Galen's arm a little, and said in Galen's ear very unhappily:

"That female secretary doesn't look like a serious person!"

"Oh?"

Galen raised his eyebrows and whispered to Nami in surprise, "Can you see that?" ”

He hadn't told Nami who CP9's sleeper agents were.

Unexpectedly, Nami could see at a glance that Kalifa's "impropriety" came...

Good eyesight! It's really worthy of the intellectual responsibility in the world of pirates!

Galen sighed in his heart.

"You can't see this?!"

Nami glared at Galen angrily, and then angrily whispered in Galen's ear:

"It's you!"

"You know that this woman is not serious, what do you respond to her?"

"Huh?"

Galen was slightly stunned, and said with an innocent face: "Is there anything wrong with what I did?" ”

"You!"

Nami was so angry that she clutched Galen's arm so hard that she almost didn't pinch out Galen's digital mode because of the high damage.

And after thinking about it, Galens never realized that there was any flaw in the fake smile he put on in front of the government agents.

Under Nami's cold face all the way, Galen, who was completely confused, walked to the chairman's office of the iceberg in a daze.

The two sides sat down, and Iceberg tried his best to look like a merchant and asked Galen:

"I wonder what Lord Galen's needs are for coming here?"

The iceberg was indifferent on the surface, but the heart was very nervous.

Because Galen's identity as a suspected Draco is too sensitive, and he who knows the whereabouts of Hades' drawings is a potential "terrorist" who may be exposed in front of the world government at any time.

But Galen's words suddenly let go of the iceberg's hanging heart:

"I'm here to negotiate a business with Carrera."

"I would like to ask your company's technicians to assist our Debang company in building a sea train in the East China Sea!"

"Sea train?"

The iceberg was not only completely relaxed, but also excited by Galen's words.

The construction of the sea train to make the moat a thoroughfare is the lifelong wish of his master, Master Tom.

And the iceberg's efforts have only been able to make the capital of seven waters prosperous, and it has never advanced half a step in the promotion of sea trains.

As soon as he heard that Galen had the intention to build a sea train, Bingshan immediately said excitedly:

"Lord Galen!"

"As long as you have the intention to build a sea train, our company's technology can be transferred free of charge, engineers and workers only get a basic salary, and you can also train technicians for free!"

"Huh?"

Galen was a little dazed by the series of preferential policies of the iceberg, and couldn't help asking:

"How can the advanced technology of this sea train become a free giveaway?"

"Ugh..."

Bingshan sighed deeply, but said with some embarrassment:

"You don't know:"

"Even if the technical cost is excluded and the labor cost is reduced to the limit, the cost of this sea train is extremely high."

"It will take at least 50 years of operation to build a sea train line connecting the two large islands to pay for itself."

"Therefore, since the invention of sea train technology, except for the area of the capital of seven waters, only a rich area in the New World has reluctantly built a sea train line."

Galen nodded, roughly understanding the meaning of the iceberg:

The cost of sea trains is too high, requiring large funds and investments, and in today's troubled times when the world government is weak and all forces occupy the sea, no force can afford to build large-scale railways.

Even if you can afford to repair it, it will be difficult to recover the cost in the short term.

It takes 50 years for a local force to build a sea train to recover its costs, and the king's flag on the sea is changing and disputes are continuous, and even the Four Emperor Pirates can't pat their chests to guarantee that they can exist for 50 years.

"I'll fix it!"

Galen replied categorically.

Bingshan showed a surprised voice, and couldn't help asking, "You don't think about it anymore?" ”

"If you want to get rich, build roads first!"

"No matter how much money you put in, no matter how much time you spend, I will fix it."

Galen nodded, with an unshakable confidence in him.

Of course, building railways loses money.

It costs an average of 160 million yuan to build a one-kilometer high-speed rail in Galen's hometown, and this cost can only be repaid for hundreds of years by collecting tickets.

The debt of the railway company is 4.98 trillion yuan, and if it is converted into Bailey (yen), it is 81.67 trillion yuan...

At this number, the "Golden Emperor" Tezzolo will be silent when he hears it, and the Celestial Dragon people will cry when he hears it.

But it continues to build a massive network of high-speed rail across the country every year at a terrifying rate.

Because the income from railway construction should not only be calculated from the operation of the railway, but also from the economic benefits it has driven, and even from the development strategy of the whole country.

And Galen's Debang Logistics Company has covered most of the East China Sea.

While providing transportation and safety services, the company has gradually begun to impose reasonable "protection fees" similar to taxes on various towns.

It was already an independent kingdom in the East China Sea.

Of course, the power of the Four Emperor Pirates is actually far stronger than Galen's company.

But a thief is a thief, and the Four Emperors are only local warlords who lack progress and constructiveness after all.

To be able to maintain order and protect the people with a banner like Whitebeard is already considered to be benevolent.

How can their vision and mentality compare to Galen, who comes from a country of "infrastructure madness"?

"Great!"

Chairman Iceberg stood up from the sofa excitedly, and bowed deeply to Galen uncontrollably:

"I'm here to help you make this happen!"

Mr. Tom's lifelong wish finally has the hope of coming true, and the iceberg has completely let go of the estrangement in his heart and has become the most staunch ally of Galen, the "Celestial Dragon".

"So..."

Bingshan hurriedly asked:

"How much money can you come up with each year?" How many miles of railways are planned? engineering..."

"Ahem..."

Galen pushed Nami, who was sitting next to him, forward:

"For the specific content of this cooperation, you can communicate with her."

Galen brought Nami to the City of Seven Waters so that Nami, who was full of mathematical talent, could help him deal with the specific financial problems of his business dealings.

And Nami was not ambiguous, and opened her mouth to discuss it with Iceberg.

The economic issues involved in a giant project are incredibly complex, and the conversation between Nami and Iceberg quickly goes from a few simple pieces of data all the way to the field of engineering economics, which Galen doesn't understand at all.

Later, Chairman Bingshan was also dizzy, so he had to call a large group of financial personnel of Carrera on the spot, and launched a series of mathematical calculations that were magical in Galen's eyes.

Galen was so bored that he left Nami here to mingle with a group of finance clerks, while he went to visit the Carrera shipbuilding company's factory with great interest.

Thaksin wandered freely around the company, admiring the novelty of the shipyard.

Moments later, Galen met Kalifa around the corner of a hallway.

"Miss Califa?"

Galen asked with some concern, "Aren't you staying with Mr. Iceberg to help?" ”

Kalifa's face was slightly red, and she gently nudged the frame on the bridge of her nose a little nervously.

As a well-trained agent and a shrewd secretary, Califa was a bit reserved in front of Galen.

No way, who made Galen very likely to be her master?

After squirming for a long time, Kalifa was able to adjust his mentality and replied:

"I couldn't intervene in the specific financial issues either, so I left first."

Kalifa quietly took two more steps closer to Galen, so close that Galen could enjoy the white and delicate collarbone under her collar and a three-dimensional white scenery at a glance.

Without waiting for Galen to speak, Kalifa whispered with a ruddy face:

"Lord Galen!"

"Do you have time to sit in my private lounge?" I have a few things I'd like to talk to you about individually. ”

"This..."

The other party was already blatantly using temptation, and no matter how slow Galen was, he could sense that something was wrong.

So Galen righteously refused:

"Forget it! It's not good for your reputation! ”

"Don't worry!"

"It's a great honor to be able to chat with Lord Galen alone!"

The expression on Kalifa's face was even more shy, and her voice was full of seduction.

And Kalifa really didn't care what bad impact this incident would have on her reputation, because the character she had painstakingly created had completely collapsed yesterday.

That Barry was an alcoholic, and once he had drunk, he would dare to say anything, and Carifa had no illusions that he would have a good reputation in the company in the future.

"No, absolutely not."

But Galen categorically rejected Kalifa's invitation again.

Kalifa's eyes froze, and he secretly admired in his heart:

completely ignored the temptation of her beauty...

Is this the demeanor of the legendary big man?!

However, Galen suddenly asked with a serious face:

"Kalifa, if you were to make a prediction from the perspective of a professional secretary—"

"Do you think those finance people can hold Na..."

"Ahem..."

"How long do you think it will take for Nami and the finance people to negotiate the business?"

"Huh?"

Kalifa was stunned for a moment, but immediately habitually entered the working state:

"Our Carrera company is the world's No. 1 shipbuilding company, and the financial personnel employed by the company are also the top elites on the sea."

"In the general large-scale shipbuilding business, our company's finance department can process an order in an average of 15 minutes."

"Fifteen minutes?"

Galen shook his head, and muttered in a low voice: "Fifteen minutes is too short, it's not enough to masturbate, that is, just enough to surrender." ”

"But..."

Kalifa went on to explain:

"The business of this sea train is not trivial, and the issues involved are too complicated."

"Even if it's just a preliminary calculation, I'm afraid it will take a few hours."

"How many hours?"

"Won't Nami come over for a few hours?"

Galen's eyes froze, and he immediately gave himself a skill "courage":

"Well, Kalifa..."

"Where did you just say you were going with me?"
