181. Negative Ghost
This is a devil fruit pattern that Nicole Robin simply depicts with a pen.
Although the devil fruits are of various fruit forms, they are still very different from real fruits.
After seeing the pattern depicted on the paper, Perona nodded subconsciously.
"I seem to remember that when I was very young, a businessman gave me such a fruit to my father. Later, I was very curious and took a bite secretly. After eating it, I realized that this fruit was really hard to eat."
"Later, my father found a trace of bitten off the fruit, and he was furious and killed several guards."
Perona said slowly.
"It seems to be true."
After hearing Perona's words, Chaldee said with a smile.
"The fruit you stole the past is called the Devil Fruit."
"Devil Fruit?"
Perona asked in confusion, "What is that? Will it become a demon with wings and grinning teeth when eaten?"
"Haha, there is no such thing in this world."
"The devil fruit is a fruit containing special power. After eating it, you will gain all kinds of incredible abilities."
"Just like the ghost you are showing now."
Chalde pointed at the negative ghost floating beside Perona and continued, "But the side effect is that you can't swim, and you will never be able to swim in the water in your life."
"Ah, is that true?"
Perona said in surprise, looking at Robin again.
"Haha, yes, you will be a land duck in the future."
Robin said with a smile.
"There is nothing wrong with land ducks. They swim every day and will drown sooner or later. If they don't go into the water, they won't be drowned."
Chaldee also said with a smile.
"Well, I listen to my brother."
Perona said well-behavedly.
"By the way, why don't you take her in person for a while?"
Robin asked Chaldes.
But Chalde shook his head: "It's not necessary to take it yourself, so she will continue to stay with you. I will come here often to teach her in the future."
"He is now at his age, he should read and write. The devil fruit development can be put on first."
"Oh, okay."
Robin obviously didn't want to bring Perona, the oil bottle.
"This time I am here to talk to you about expanding the production scale of docks."
At this time, Chaldee followed Robin to talk about the important matter.
“Expand production scale?”
After hearing this, Robin thought for a while and said, "Are you going to add a dock manufacturing base?"
"But that's the cost is a bit high."
"My idea is to acquire other small docks in Xihai and integrate them together to form a dock company independent of the Chamber of Commerce."
Chaldee said, "Look for a talent with experience in dock manufacturing and management and the ability to build this dock manufacturing company to a world-class standard."
"There are many people who are looking for this kind of person, but it is a good idea to build a world-class dock company."
Robin naturally knows the future prospects of the dock manufacturing company. As more and more people go out to sea, more orders will also increase in the future.
"There are also the research and development of sailing technology that must also keep up."
"Although Sangui Sailing can meet most order needs, if we only have this technology, our advantage is not great."
Wheel power technology is in the hands of the world government, and steam technology is also in the hands of the world government.
It is precisely because of the steam technology that Tom, the fishman, was able to build a train on the sea.
In addition to wheel power and steam power technology, he can also study the technology of using mechanical power to drive sailboats.
But these technologies need to be studied by scientists.
So far, there is no scientific and technological talent under Chaldean.
After hearing Chalde's words, Robin nodded and said, "I will arrange to acquire other small docks. After the acquisition is completed, we will start to establish an independent dock company."
"I will also start setting up a dock technology research and development studio, but I can't help you with talent."
"Leave the talent to me."
Chalde spoke.
Perona sat quietly on the sofa, fiddling with the ghosts wandering around her, while looking at Chaldean from time to time.
"Can."
Robin nodded and said.
"Although the situation in the West Sea has stabilized, a lieutenant general has come to the Navy headquarters. His target should be me, so you should not show up in public next time."
Chalde continued.
After all, Robin is a wanted criminal, and the Navy has never given up on pursuing it.
There was no news of him hiding here, but the Navy's pursuit of Robin in the West Sea will probably not weaken in a short time.
Protecting Robin is a dangerous move, but the gains are also considerable.
Not only was Robin able to interpret ancient texts for himself, but Robin also managed the Chamber of Commerce in an orderly manner.
"I'll pay attention to this."
After saying that, Robin stood up, walked to the cabinet, took out a stack of information, and handed it to Chaldee.
"By the way, this is the revenue and expenditure of the Chamber of Commerce in the past six months, including every business income and expenditure in business. I have done a good job of counting it."
Chaldee took the stack of information from Robin, then opened it and looked around.
The dense numbers filled the entire page, and all the income and expenditure financial situations of the Chaldean Chamber of Commerce were on it.
Chalde browsed for a while, then nodded and said:
"Well, the financial statements are made in detail, from billions of heavenly gold expenditures to smallest expenses of Bailey, they are all clearly written."
He just glanced a little and closed the report, and continued to smile and said, "Just make your own decisions about financial matters, I totally trust you."
After hearing Chalde's words, Robin nodded: "It's just some big financial aspects. It's necessary to show you some of the big funds, otherwise, if this continues, the rest of the chamber of commerce will not be convinced by me."
"Whoever doesn't believe you, tell me."
Chalde looked at her and said.
Robin shook his head and said nothing.
It seems that within the Chamber of Commerce, no, it should be said that it is his direct subordinate, and there are still open and secret struggles.
"Since I have handed over the Chamber of Commerce to you to manage, it means that I trust you, and you only need to be responsible for me."
"As for other people's remarks, if there is anything out of line, you can tell them directly."
Chaldee looked at Robin and said.
"Since you say this, I have confidence in my heart."
Robin said.
Next, the two talked about forming an independent dock company for a long time.
It took about an hour later that Chaldee stood up.
Chaldee said to Perona: "Perona, listen to Robin's words carefully, I'll come to see you when I have time."
"Ah, brother, are you leaving again?"
Perona jumped off the sofa.
Chalde touched Perona's hair and said with a smile: "Study hard with Sister Robin."
"I know."
