A certain scientific pirate - Chapter 310
c310 Legal fundraising
A sloop arrived at the Seven Waters Capital, bringing important news to the city that had just completed its relocation work not long ago.
“Hey, boats are not allowed to dock at the berth here.”
When Mo Fei took a small boat alone to the port of the Capital of Seven Waters and was about to anchor, someone on the dock reminded him… The location where he parked the boat was a large berth with a deep draft, used to park a ship. A small boat, not much larger than a fishing boat, would be a waste of resources.
“Who said this is a small boat? This is a warship belonging to the Navy Headquarters.”
Mo Fei didn’t bother to change positions at all. He pointed to the flag hanging on the top of the mast above the white sail. Sure enough, it had the navy’s logo printed on it.
Then the people on the shore shut up instantly. Although the navy is often more scary than pirates, this does not mean that every sailor is scary. The problem is that the man on the shore thought Mo Fei looked familiar… Mo Fei gradually became a member of the navy. A recognizable character.
Next, Mo Fei went directly to the headquarters of Carrera Shipbuilding Company, and then met Mayor Espagu as he wished.
“Rear Admiral Eilindel, are you still operating in this sea area? Are you coming to me this time to add an order for new warships?” After suddenly seeing Mo Fei, Espagu was stunned at first, and then half-heartedly. He said this with confusion and half joking.
Because when it arrived in the nearby sea area, the Beihai Queen docked at the Capital of Seven Waters. Taking that time as the starting point, Mo Fei has been in this sea area for more than half a month… What happened? Not doing anything, just hanging around, which is really confusing.
No, considering that Mo Fei is a capable and trouble-making person, and such a person has been hanging around in front of his house, Espagu should not only be confused, but at least he is a little unsure…because he doesn’t Know what Mo Fei wants to do.
“I would like to place additional orders, and even add five ships at once, but the problem is… I have no money.” Doesn’t Mo Fei want to build a fleet with heavy firepower? Of course he wanted to, but the problem was that those big figures were too expensive.
“We’ll talk about shipbuilding later. That’s a long-term plan. This time I came to see Mr. Espagu because I have something else to ask for your help… I’ve been in this sea area for so long, but I can’t I’m just traveling. In fact, I have done something big, but you haven’t received the news yet.”
With that said, Mo Fei handed a piece of information to Espagu.
Espagu took the material with some curiosity, and then he casually pulled it out of the document bag. When his eyes fell on the cover of the document, he was stunned for an instant.
Then he glanced at Mo Fei with a questioning look, “Are you kidding?” Mo Fei just calmly made a gesture of invitation.
Does Mo Fei have to joke with Espagu about this kind of thing?
Espagu quickly looked through the information, and after a moment of silence, he asked, “Does the World Government plan to build such a channel? Will the City of Seven Waters serve as the hub connecting the Great Channel and the South China Sea?”
If such a sea route is built, the benefits it will bring to the Seven Rivers City are astonishing. Espagu can think of ten professional economic papers in an instant.
Mo Fei shook his head, “It’s not that I’m planning to build such a route, but that it has already been built… This is my sincerity in coming to see Mr. Espagu.”
“Is it completed?” Espagu stood up abruptly. He finally understood that what Mo Fei just said was neither a lie nor a pretense, but the truth.
“To be precise, it has been roughly completed. As for the further construction work… we need the technology and a little bit of financial support from the Capital of Seven Waters.” Mo Fei said.
Technical support refers to the construction capabilities of maritime trains and their tracks, etc. Financial support is naturally…well, financial support. Mo Fei is here to ask for money.
“The new shipping route construction project requires a start-up capital. Mr. Espagu, I think you can understand that if I take out this project and then raise funds from the World Government and the World Government’s participating countries, I will get a large sum of money.” Money is not difficult to come by, but I don’t want the new route to suffer too much external interference, so I want to get money from the Capital of Seven Waters.”
Mo Fei explained it again, which was equivalent to saying that the new route was a high-quality project with no shortage of investment. Mo Fei chose the Seven Rivers City as a financing target because he had a high regard for the Seven Waters City.
Xinhang Road is an iron rice bowl, facing a bright future where collecting tolls will make your hands cramp.
Espagu paced back and forth in the room. After a while, he stopped and asked Mo Fei, “Mr. Erindel, I have a few questions I want to confirm.”
“Excuse me.”
“First of all, can I go and see it with my own eyes? If possible, would it be best for us to sail the ‘new route’ a few times?”
“sure.”
Although Mo Fei felt that his credibility was actually good, the other party definitely had a psychological appeal to witness this kind of thing with his own eyes to finally confirm its authenticity, and he was happy to satisfy this.
“Okay, then the second point is, who will control the route? Ensuring the safety of such a route requires strong force…”
“The Five Old Stars have approved me as the actual controller of the Brunhilde Kingdom. Next, a naval base will be built in the country.” Mo Fei said.
He was not flaunting his military power, but rather explaining that the New Route Project was indeed a legitimate project of the World Government, and not something that Mo Fei had messed up on his own. In other words, the backer behind everyone was the behemoth World Government.
“Kingdom of Brünnhilde?”
“The kingdom composed of the islands next to the shipping route are the other six islands in the ‘Seven Stars’ in the data besides the Capital of Seven Waters.”
“A realistic basis for controlling the waterway? A good idea… Then the third question, where are the subsequent sources of funds? With the financial resources of the Seven Waters Capital, it is impossible to complete such a large project alone, and Mr. Erindell is unlikely to approve it. This is the sole proprietorship method.”
“At present, this project just lacks start-up funds that can be quickly provided. This is where I hope Qishui City can provide help. As for the subsequent sources of funds… don’t worry, I have already found the next home. What should I say? What? The other party has plenty of money, so Mr. Espagu doesn’t have to worry about the follow-up funds.”
Espagu was afraid that the new route would become an unfinished project, in which case he would be cheated, so Mo Fei gave a guarantee for this.
As for the specific method for Mo Fei to obtain follow-up funds? Espagu just nodded, but did not continue to ask.
That morning, Espagu boarded a medium-sized sailboat and took the main cadres of Carrera Company out to sea. Then on the third day, they returned to the Seven Waters Capital on time.
Subsequently, 4 billion Baileys in cash were directly missing from the Seven Waters Capital’s municipal account books, of which 3 billion was considered investment, and various purchases and customization began directly in the Seven Waters Capital, and the remaining one billion was used Mo Fei took it away.
This billion is a small and broad start-up capital.
Mo Fei took the boat out to sea again, but her destination was not to return to the island chain over there, but to head straight to the new world.
After sailing for a while, Mo Fei took out a phone and dialed a number:
“Hey, can you hear me? This is Erindel Morfei. Is that Marshall D. Teach across the way?
I probably made the right call…”
