Pirate's silver-winged evil star

After the recruitment announcement was sent out, many people who thought they met the conditions were so pleasantly surprised that they immediately put down their work and started looking for a map of the Grand Line and the location of Northern Blue on the map.

According to the conditions in the recruitment announcement, Chen Sheng divided most occupations into four levels: assistant engineer, junior engineer, intermediate engineer and senior engineer. Each level has generous subsidies.If you can get the title of senior engineer, your salary can even match that of an A-level hunter.

It's just that it's not easy to obtain engineer certification, and Chen Sheng's requirements are even stricter on earth.

The industrial foundation here is very weak. What Chen Sheng needs are high-end talents who can take charge of the leadership by one person. Unlike the earth, which has a large amount of resources to invest and can support a group of researchers who specialize in research, raising standards is a must. It's inevitable.

To be evaluated as a senior engineer, Chen Sheng is required to have at least three invention patent innovations of his own, possess at least one core technology patent, and master extremely profound professional basic knowledge to be eligible.Correspondingly, senior engineers can be in charge of the production of the entire island. If they have opinions and ideas, they can communicate directly with Chen Sheng.

In addition, Chen Sheng also set up a higher-level expert title. In terms of status, the expert title is comparable to S-class hunters and navy admirals.

Only a big-shot figure like Tom who can be famous throughout the sea and stand at the top of the industry can achieve this and strive for excellence in quality.

For example, Kozaburo Shigezuki, who has just joined the Hunter Guild. With his forging ability, Kozaburo Shigetsuki can be rated as a senior engineer. If one day he can build a sword of the supreme sharp sword level, then he can obtain the title of expert.

In order to welcome these elites from different industries, Chen Sheng and Drake hired a large group of local residents from the Northern Blue to start rebuilding the fortress left by the Flower Kingdom army.

Because the Kingdom of Flowers has the largest number of troops stationed in Northern Blue, the scale of the fortress is also the largest, and can even accommodate tens of millions of people in extreme conditions.Even taking comfort into consideration, tens of thousands of people can live there without any problem.

Moreover, relying on its powerful military power, the fortress of the Kingdom of Flowers is adjacent to the coast and has a simple port. It is very close to the largest vein of the open-pit iron mine, making it very convenient in every aspect.

It's just that because of the previous battle, the place was severely damaged by Drake. Almost half of the fortresses have collapsed and cracked, and only about [-]% can be safely used and lived in.

Even so, the usable space is still not enough. By dismantling the materials in the damaged area to repair and strengthen it, it will be open to the public in a few days.

After finding a place to live, Chen Sheng began to think of ways to solve the problem of food and daily necessities for these outsiders.

Northern Blue is covered with snow all year round, and supplies are relatively poor. Those who originally lived there were okay and could barely be self-sufficient.

But once the population increases, food and other daily necessities will need to be imported from outside the island. Chen Sheng is taking David to contact major outside chambers of commerce to discuss treaties for imported supplies.

The first chamber of commerce to contact was from the Capital of Seven Waters.In addition to having the world's most famous shipbuilding industry, the Seven Waters Capital is also famous for its fishing industry.

With the strongest shipbuilding factory in the world, the Seven Waters Capital also possesses the most advanced fishing technology. With the support of various advanced fishing boats, the Seven Waters Capital can produce tens of millions of tons of fish and seafood every year. Only a small part of the fish is digested internally, while more is made into various products and sold externally.

Not only that, in terms of shipping, the Seven Waters Capital is also one of the top chambers of commerce in the Grand Line. It is rumored that the Shipping King's industry is mainly concentrated in the Seven Waters Capital, but no one knows whether it is true or not.

The person who was communicating with David was from the largest fishing company in the Seven Waters Capital, Bok Ocean Fisheries Association. This company mainly operates some fisheries and maritime trade businesses, and has a large scale.

The president of the Bok Club has a very vicious look. After seeing the recruitment announcement issued by Chen Sheng, he immediately deduced based on the existing intelligence that the Hunter Guild was preparing to rebuild Northern Blue.He immediately sent his own people to Northern Blue to discuss business with Chen Sheng, and expressed his willingness to provide food and shipping-related support.

In order to ensure that they can capture this almost blank market, the other party even offered a [-]% discount.You must know that for such two behemoths, the flow of funds between them is far beyond ordinary people's imagination, and [-]% off is already a huge discount.

Of course, they are not without demands. As a price for the preferential treatment, they require the ownership of 1/3 of the Northern Blue Port and must be given preferential treatment in terms of tariffs.

Thanks to David's efforts and exchanges, the Bok Club finally obtained 1/3 of the use and management rights of the port. However, all related personnel changes must be approved by the Hunter Guild and cannot be completely independent. This is already very tolerant. condition.

As for the tariffs, they are all minor issues. Relatively speaking, the area of ​​Northern Blue is not large, at least not comparable to the Hunter Guild's headquarters, Shelter Island.

In addition, Northern Blue itself does not produce many resources, and its specialty iron ore has an absolute advantage, so there is no need to worry about external impacts.

Therefore, Chen Sheng is not prepared to set the tariff too high. The future development here is extremely dependent on imports. Only by lowering tariffs and opening up business can it prosper.

In addition to businessmen from the Bok Club, David has also signed trade treaties with six chambers of commerce. The transactions cover all aspects of life, ensuring that foreign technical talents can meet the most basic needs of life.

"It's a pity that the East China Sea Commercial Alliance has not yet developed into the Great Sea Route. Otherwise, a lot of Baileys could have been saved!" After signing the trade agreement, David said with some regret.

Although he has been trying his best to fight for it, these self-made businessmen are much smarter than the Navy and Snow King. They are not easy to fool, but they only got a relatively acceptable price.

Chen Sheng said: "There is no way. Their ability to trade within the East China Sea is still limited. If they reach too far, they may be sanctioned by the world government."

"President, please continue to talk about your company idea!"

In previous exchanges, Chen Sheng differentiated the departments of the top ten companies. It was clear which department was responsible for what kind of work. This is a quite advanced system in this world. The business system here Basically, whoever has the most connections will get the upper hand, and the management direction is also quite confusing, and whoever has the highest position will be the most powerful.

After listening to the company system introduced by Chen Sheng, David suddenly discovered that setting up a company is not an easy task. It requires professionals in many aspects, including economics, technology, law, security, etc. The talent gap is really huge.

"No wonder President, you want to issue such a recruitment order. It turns out that it is like this. What I thought before was too simple."

With his own talent, David also established some industries, but almost all of those industries were under his control. One person managed all aspects of the work, and others were only responsible for execution.Therefore, in the process of management, he felt very tired and gradually lost interest in business.

After seeing this detailed company planning plan, David even started to crackle with electric sparks because of his over excitement, which was the static electricity stored in the Flying Thunder Dragon.

"Next we need to build the first production base. According to the current situation, we lack funds and talents, so we only need to find a small iron ore vein, build a small factory first, and then develop it after the talent reserve is sufficient. Those large iron mines," Chen Sheng introduced to David while holding a detailed map of the interior of Northern Blue.

"So my first target was here. The terrain here is relatively flat and there is a river next to it. While building a factory, I can also build a small town."

………………

While Chen Sheng was discussing the blue plan for the north, the City of Seven Waters had just experienced the baptism of the water gods. Major shipyards had started construction. The construction of three cruisers belonging to the Hunter Guild had been completed under increasing pressure. Black The Pearl also completed renovations.

Jack took the recruitment order just issued by the Hunter Guild and said to Tom:

"Master Tom, look, I'm telling you that our president attaches great importance to talents. If you are willing to join, you will definitely get the title of expert. No matter what you want to do, you will get the full support of the guild."

Tom took the recruitment order and looked at it carefully for a while and said: "Hahaha! He is indeed a well-known figure, but I still have a task to complete. I will come back to you when I have the opportunity in the future!"

Jack said: "Okay, the Hunter Guild welcomes Master Tom at any time. The assistants arranged by the Guild to study are already on the way. If Tom needs anything online, he can communicate with us directly."

"Okay, I wish you a safe journey!"

"Thank you!"

"Blue, blue, blue."

Just as Jack was preparing for Yang Fan's return trip, the phone bug Jack carried with him suddenly rang. When he picked up the phone, Chen Sheng's voice came.

"Hey Jack, is Master Tom still with you?"

"Still here, what's the matter? President." Jack asked.

Chen Sheng said on the phone: "Ask me if Master Tom is interested in investing in our Steel Energy Technology Company. Sea train technology will be an invention that transcends the times. If possible, we are willing to give 5% of our shares in exchange for this invention." patent, and at the same time fully support Master Tom’s research and development work.”

"Master Tom, what do you think?"

Jack did not shy away from Tom, and Tom heard everything Chen Sheng said clearly.

"What shares are you talking about?" Tom asked a little strangely.

"This is a bit complicated to explain, but it can be simply understood as part of the company's ownership. As long as you get the shares, you are equivalent to the owner of the company." Chen Sheng heard Tom's voice on the other end of the phone, so he explained.

"That sounds like an incredible price. What will happen if I agree?"

"If you agree, the sea train technology belongs to the Iron and Steel Resources Technology Company. It cannot be opened to the outside world or constructed privately without the company's permission. Of course, as one of the shareholders of the company and the sea train technology Inventor, if Master Tom needs it, we will focus on your ideas and do our best to comply with your requirements," Chen Sheng said.

"What a great idea! So if I want to build it, will you also pay for the construction cost?"

"Of course, this is a necessary payment cost for the company. After the sea train is completed, the company will use ticket sales and other methods to conduct reasonable return of funds to ensure that there will be no serious losses. This process does not require Mr. Tom's own investment. Instead, use the company’s public funds,” Chen Sheng said.

“In my conception, the sea train project is very important to the development of the sea. When the tracks of the sea train are laid on every island along the great route, and when the distance between islands is no longer long, I believe the world will become more beautiful. Prosperity!"

"Let the sea train travel to every corner of the Grand Route? What a resounding ideal! Okay, I agree! If we can really make the sea train travel to every corner of the Grand Route, my life will be worth it!" Tom laughed and said.

The lifespan of a fishman is similar to that of a human being. After living for several decades, Tom has nothing worth pursuing in his life. The sea train is almost the last wealth he can leave to the world. If Chen Sheng can really achieve the goal he promised , then Tom can die without regrets.

"Then welcome Mr. Tom to become a shareholder of Steel Energy Technology Company. I will find someone to send you the relevant documents. After he rushes to get the anxious technical personnel in place, I will send them to assist you in your work."

Chen Sheng was in a very good mood after successfully obtaining the patent ownership of the maritime train.Although there is no patent protection bill in this world, and no one can say anything even if he prostitutes for free, Chen Sheng is not stingy with some money for top masters like Tom. The knowledge in their minds is the most precious thing.

Moreover, after issuing the recruitment order, Chen Sheng was already preparing to establish an invention patent protection system. After all, in the future, the Hunter Guild would gather the largest number of intellectuals on the Grand Line. Chen Sheng did not want the things he invested a lot of money to research to be stolen by others. .

It is difficult to establish such a system, and it is not difficult to say that it is not difficult. The biggest difficulty is the authority.

Only an organization and force with sufficient authority can establish such a system.Such a system requires not only that the people who hold the patent want to believe it, but also that the power has the ability to protect the patent.

It happens that the Hunter Guild has a large amount of violent resources. If someone dares to steal patent results, as long as a reward is issued within the Hunter Guild, a large number of hunters will naturally deal with them.

In addition, the Hunter's Guild has made headlines in newspapers many times and has great influence in the sea. Therefore, the Hunter's Guild is one of the few forces that can establish a patent protection system.

For this reason, Chen Sheng plans to open two large libraries to manage these patented research results. One of them is placed on the branch of the ancient tree and is protected as top secret.The other one was established in the school in the Kingdom of Goa. Some less important invention patents and invention patents that have expired are placed in it to facilitate teaching.
