Chapter 86: Beast

Although Selkirk changed into new clothes, he still looked a little embarrassed. In addition to the scars left by Barbarossa when he was subduing him, there were also conspicuous burns on his face. After hearing Felton's unpolite question, his eyes twitched and he looked at William.

William glanced at him with a meaningful glance, then smiled at Felton, "I talked to Selkirk, and he has now agreed to join our Pirates."

Selkirk nodded to Harden, Clow and others who looked at him, and the others responded politely, but Felton ignored Selkirk and just muttered dissatisfiedly: "He. Mom is a newcomer."

But Felton's voice was too low, and only he could hear it in the room.

Ship doctors Wood, Hutcherson and Harden took the wine glass from William, and found a chair like Felton to sit down. Diego, Clow and Selkirk did not sit down, but stood not far behind the four-person chair, whispering something.

This time William asked the cadres on the boat to come to the captain's office, but he did not specifically target Felton, nor did he ask them to take the blame. He did have serious things to talk to several people. Of course, in fact, with William's personality, it was more like an explanation and a posture, and then asked his subordinates to help supplement and improve the details, but for the few people who had experienced the rule of Barbarossa, this was already a huge improvement for them.

"I think the last time in Kalmar City was a good lesson. The robbery without any purpose or planning like before is not of much benefit to our development." William sat behind the desk, leaning lazily on the wide chair, and said with a relaxed expression.

Influenced by him, several cadres in the house were also relaxed. Hutcherson came to his mouth after a big sip of wine and asked strangely: "Don't we usually have plans and exact goals?"

Old pirates like Hutcherson actually noticed some problems with the pirate group before, and speculated that the Red Bearded Barbarossa had connections with the shore forces. When the incident in Kalmar City occurred, the captain's room on the ship was robbed, the treasure map was stolen, and the ship was destroyed. Barbarossa had to seek help from Arcadio, and this matter was basically revealed on the ship.

Everyone in the house knew that in the past, most of their robbery targets had pre-determined targets. They did not look for prey like other pirate groups, like headless flies on the sea all day long.

“I mean our own planning, running for targets provided by our partners. Although it is safer and easier, it is not very beneficial to our development,” William said. “And as before, it would be too stupid to accumulate wealth in a broken place and moldy even without the experience of being robbed this time.”

Felton sneered: "Where is it? The bank? They dare to accept it? Even if they dare to accept it, I dare not. We are pirates! The income is illegal. Those profitable merchants who eat people and don't spit out bones must be happy to cooperate with the government and swallow our money legally! It is even more unsafe to put it there."

William shook his finger: "When it comes to banks, I mean to invest part of the spoils we obtained on the ship into some industries and do some business. I have some connections on the shore, so you don't have to worry about how to build a business."

Felton shook his head without hesitation, and the others in the house were also somewhat suspicious. After all, they were just pirates. Wood was a doctor. He had read some books, but he knew nothing about doing business. This was a strange field after all. Even the so-called adventure-loving pirates tended to be conservative when they set foot in unknown areas. After all, what they wanted to invest in was a veritable "hard-for-hard-for-told money".

Only Clow was stunned and his eyes shone, he sat up straight, and looked at William in surprise.

"There are not many people on the boat who understand these things. What should I do if my money is cheated? What should I do if I lose money?" Harden asked hesitantly.

"What should I do?" William asked with a smile, "Dare to cheat on us, of course, I will find people to get cramps and bones. As for the loss? Why do you think we will lose money?"

"Business cannot be separated from maritime trade, and we are one of the largest pirate groups in the East China Sea. Who can compete with us? Are the knifes in your hands made of paper? For the sake of irrelevant people, we dare to rob ships or even rob villages and towns. Do we dare not do it for our own business?"

What high-tech and competitive products did the various East India companies have at that time? They are nothing more than spices, tea, opium and even slaves. The most competitive part of these companies is nothing more than force, and their ability to grow is nothing more than the trade monopoly brought by military hegemony.

William did not do anything that was worthless like selling drugs and slaves, but he was not a good student. The accumulation of capital was bloody. Even in his previous life, the so-called business fairness and competition were limited to verbal battles and stumbling against each other, which was limited to modern times and was still a country with a stable regime. In modern times, capital competition was ignored in talking with bullets and communicating with bayonets.

Although the Morgan Pirates is definitely not truly comparable to the East India Company with state support, it is the same to maintain trade with force and nourish force with trade.

Now the few people in the house are still worried, but after they taste the sweetness in the future, they will definitely support the business.

William knew exactly how exaggerated the momentum and development speed of this beast were.

"In addition, you can arrange crew members when doing this," William said to several people, "In our business, we will inevitably be injured. If we die, we will naturally be completely eliminated. But what if we are disabled or can't fight again in the future? Take a step back and what if our crew members get older in the future? If we buy some industries, we can arrange them."

Felton said sarcastically: "You think so far, you even think about retirement."

The others were not as sarcastic as Felton, but seemed thoughtful. The ship doctor Wood was even more thoughtful. He was very old on the ship and did not have any particularly superb strength. William's words made him quite agree with and admire him.

Wood and others believed that William really put the future of the crew to heart, so he troubled to come up with this proposal.

Wood had already respected William without realizing it. He subconsciously adjusted his sitting position and looked at William, wanting to hear what the young captain had to offer, but saw William slowly sip his wine, and then said calmly: "There is another thing about the personnel on the ship."
