People are pirates, modeling kings

"Amei, how's the matter?"

After answering the call, Chaldea asked.

"It's not optimistic. The five mafia families won't give us any chance to negotiate. They will never let us get involved in arms deals."

Metanzo's voice came over.

"That's it."

Chaldea leaned on the chair and smiled lightly, "Since you can't do it in literature, then you can only do it in martial arts."

"Go and collect all the information from the leaders of the five major families and send it over."

"Are you going to fight with them? That's fine. They still think you are just a brat, President."

Medanzo laughed.

"Wouldn't it be better this way? The weaker we appear, the less clearly the enemy can see us, and we will have an opportunity to take advantage of it."

Chaldea said with a smile, then stood up and circled five circles again on the chart on the wall with a pen.

There are many circles on the chart, and they are all the objects of his focus.

The two-layer circle he circled is the five major mafia families in the West Sea.

"It seems that the problem of the five major mafia must be solved as soon as possible."

Thinking of this, Chaldea glanced at the chart, and then noticed that an island near the Five Mafia was the Kingdom of Fast.

"The Kingdom of Fast cannot move for the time being."

After all, they are one of the few powerful countries in the West Sea. Not only are they members of the World Government, but they also have huge military power.

"But we can start with the Fast Chamber of Commerce."

Thinking of this, Chaldea wrote the words Fast Chamber of Commerce near the circle and circled it.

The Fast Chamber of Commerce is rich and controls half of the shipping business in the Western Sea. Many of the ships used in transactions are provided by the Fast Chamber of Commerce.

If it can win the Fast Chamber of Commerce, Chaldea can expand its business to the entire Western Sea.

"Pay attention to the news of the Fast Chamber of Commerce. They should have a cooperative relationship with the five major mafia families."

Chaldea said something to the phone bug, then glanced at the chart and then took it back, sitting on the chair again.

"Yes, President,"

Medanzo answered.

After hanging up the phone bug, Chaldea got back to work.

Two months have passed at this time, and the kingdom and the Chamber of Commerce have entered stable operation.

The next day, Chaldea convened the ruling group and held a meeting in the ruling hall.

All nine members of the ruling group gathered here and reported on recent work progress.

The seven consuls responsible for finance, economy, news, city defense, and shipping have all sat down.

"Lord Chaldea, the current financial situation of the kingdom is not optimistic."

Finance Officer Sika said after looking at the account book for a while.

"Not long after the establishment of the ruling party, you have recently launched a variety of business initiatives, which has consumed huge amounts of money."

"Wherever you need money, you go to Xindong. I still have a lot of money left in my chamber of commerce. Use the funds of the chamber of commerce to advance it first. Remember the financial expenses. When the treasury is sufficient in the future, you can return the funds to the chamber of commerce."

Chaldea spoke and glanced at Xindong.

Xindong nodded: "No problem. The funds of the Chamber of Commerce can unconditionally support the kingdom's finances, but some interest will need to be paid in the future. After all, the Chamber of Commerce is a chamber of commerce, and the country is a country. The two must be distinguished."

"Ok."

After hearing this, Sika nodded in agreement. As the financial officer of the Kingdom of Des, he must be meticulous about money down to every penny.

"I will report on the kingdom's financial expenditure in the past month."

With that said, Sika began to report.

"On May 5, the kingdom's finances spent 1 million beli to fund the reconstruction of the palace."

“On May 5, the Kingdom’s treasury spent 2 million beli on the news media plan.”

"On May 5, the kingdom's finances spent 3 billion beli for the kingdom's city defense."

"On May 5, the kingdom's finances spent 4 million beli to expand maritime transportation and purchase ships."

"On May 5, the Kingdom's fiscal expenditure will be 5 billion Baileys for the recovery of the Kingdom's business, and an additional 10 billion Baileys will be spent on agricultural support, the establishment of a trading system, and fisheries."

"On May 5, the salary expenditure was 10 million beli, of which the city defense army salary totaled 5 million beli, and the total other salary expenditure was 3 million beli."

No matter what era, military spending accounts for the largest proportion.

"A total expenditure of 52 billion beli was made."

After Sika reported all financial expenditures, he began to report income.

The final calculation showed that the Kingdom's total deficit was 15 billion.

After listening to Sika's report, Chaldea pondered for a moment, and realized that the deficit was much larger than he had imagined.

However, this is also to be expected. When the ruling body is first established, all aspects of the kingdom must be developed, so the initial investment will naturally be a bit larger.

But it doesn’t matter. The initial investment will definitely pay off hugely in the near future.

"It seems that funding is already the biggest problem."

Chaldea said in a deep voice, "But as long as we survive this year, the situation will get better."

"You can report on news, city defense, shipping, and domestic economic layout."

Xindong said to the remaining six people.

The meeting continued and ended when the sun set.

"It seems that the management of the country is not that simple."

Chaldea said with a smile.

Xindong replied: "But at least we are on the right track according to your plan, President. Next, we just need to focus on executing these projects. By this time next year, they will definitely be transformed into more economic wealth."

"I'm not worried about that."

Chaldea nodded, and then asked, "Is the world government's heavenly gold ready?"

"It's already prepared. Those are funds outside of this plan."

"But in this case, the Chamber of Commerce will not have much funds left."

Xindong said with some worry.

"Well, we can only take it step by step now. Before the kingdom's economy picks up, it seems we can only generate some gray income first."

In this era, the so-called gray income is nothing more than arms, drugs, human trafficking, gambling, etc.

As long as the five major mafia families in the West China Sea are taken down, these businesses can be taken over.

"Be prepared, this time our target is the Mafia of the Capone family in the West Sea."

Chaldea's words stunned Xindong for a moment.

"The five major mafia families?"

"Their strength is not weak."

Xindong is a little worried.

"If we want to quickly complete the primitive accumulation of capital, we must start with the five mafia families. They control more than half of the gray business in Xihai. With this capital, many projects can be launched."

If the kingdom wants to develop and the chamber of commerce needs to develop, in addition to the necessary talents, funds are the foundation.

Without money, there is no talk of development.

"I understand." Xindong nodded and said.

A few days later, Metanzo passed information on the five mafia families to Chaldea.
