One Piece: Adopting Akainu at the beginning, adopted son Barrett

Chapter 60: Talking about money hurts feelings, Warring States

In the end, Zhan Guo accompanied Yatuo to visit all the major places outside the headquarters building, and after dinner, they were arranged to sleep in a quiet room.

It was not until noon the next day that he was led by a messenger to the headquarters building to attend a small meeting with a small number of people.

Well known.

Hold small meetings for big matters, don’t hold meetings for small matters, and hold large meetings for routine matters.

At this moment, Sengoku, representing the navy, and Yatuo, representing the angel investor, took their seats.

In the Marshal's office, several people were sitting around a small round table. Yatuo and Zhan Guo were sitting opposite each other, and several lieutenant generals who were guarding the headquarters were sitting around them.

"Where's Sister He? Is she not here?"

Yatuo did not see the woman who impressed him so much, Lieutenant General He, an old sister who was about forty years old and still had charm.

It was He who received Yatuo when he first came to the Navy. The two got along well with each other on planning, and He also had unique insights in business.

If He had not been a navy officer, Yatuo might have invited him to be his consultant or secretary long ago.

"Xiao He followed Marshal Kong to the front line."

Zhan Guo explained.

Most of their generation of navies are martial, and not many of them can use their brains. There must be someone who can sit still and command and deploy the troops at the front line, and He is the natural choice.

Yatuo nodded, no longer hesitating, and went straight to the point:
"I've received news that the war in the North Sea is getting more and more intense, and the outcome will be decided in about five years.

Either the gangsters die! Or the kingdom surrenders! The Vinsmoke family began to act as mercenaries, but they seemed to have the tendency to turn against the kingdom.

Moreover, the weapons and equipment of the Vinsmoke family are more advanced than those of the South Sea. Although they are not many, they are enough to sweep away the war situation for at least two years. The remaining two forces are asking me to buy arms. "

Having said that, Yatuo's intentions were already very clear.

In the past, the arms purchased by the kingdom alone made them a fortune, and now even the gangs have joined in. It is hard to imagine how huge the profits will be!
Not to mention that such a tight arms business can be done for at least two years! Once the Vinsmoke family completely switches sides, the entire war will be decided by an overwhelming advantage.

Such huge profits are definitely not something that Yatuo can take at this moment, even with the support of the navy. The navy must send more personnel to assist!
If that doesn't work, the remaining shares will be taken over by the Nasdaq family, and naturally someone will use force to dissuade those who attempt to intercept the goods.

This is a notification. After all, the Navy and the Nasdaq family have a close relationship now. It would be best if they could be brought along to eat meat and drink soup together.

On the other side, Zhan Guo rested his chin on his hands and leaned his elbows on the table, lost in thought.

The several lieutenant generals around, except for Garp who was already fast asleep, were lying on their chairs stroking their chins.

The navy's affluence this year is obvious to all. Even Marshal Kong, who has always been timid, dares to lead his troops directly to the New World. Maybe a large branch will be established next year.

And now, Yatuo said that such a prosperous life can be even more prosperous! The lieutenant generals were very excited, which meant that ideals, bonuses and salary increases were all beckoning towards them.

But the decision maker at this time was Zhan Guo, so they could only pretend to think and give each other hints with crazy eyes.

What are you still hesitating about, Zhan Guo? Isn't it just adding more people? You work hard to review more documents and send us out, right?

This way everyone can make money!
As for boycotting Yatuo's arms dealership? There are indeed some people in the navy, but they definitely don't include the vice admirals present.

In fact, the navy nowadays overwhelmingly agrees with Yatuo's previous remarks! Only with one word can the sea be completely calmed down.

Today's sacrifice is for a better tomorrow for the children! Today's Navy Headquarters Family Quarters is a similar, living example.

"Ya Tuo, you know that our navy can indeed provide more reinforcements, but the situation on the front line has been tight recently and we are not having an easy time.

Especially Marshal Kong, he doesn't know how expensive firewood and rice are, and all kinds of cannons and bombs are shipped up for free. Coupled with the "Momo Fruit" incident some time ago, the navy is almost poor and can't afford to eat!

So you see, in the area of ​​arms, can we use the extra money to do other things?"

Zhan Guo made up his mind, but he must not miss the play that should be performed, and must not miss the tears that should be cried!
At this moment, he represents the interests of the entire navy, so he must set an example!

On the other side, looking at Sengoku with a conflicted tone, his index and middle fingers pressed together, and his thumb rubbing against each other, Yatuo felt embarrassed.

What a disrespectful couple. Garp is like this, and so is Sengoku. Are all the high-ranking officers in the navy so shameless? They have already gained such a huge amount of benefits, and they still want to divide it up?

"Mr. Zhan Guo, talking about money is a bit too hurtful. You know that I still owe my father 7 billion berries. Add in other support and an ancient devil fruit, and the total value is at least 10 billion berries!"

Yatuo shook his head, his tone pitiful, which seemed particularly miserable considering his age.

Act? Who wouldn't?
Zhan Guo's heart smacked, thinking that Yatuo had grown a lot too.

Ever since he had extorted billions of dollars worth of arms from Yatuo, the other party had probably been trained for a long time, and his tricks might not be very effective.

It seems that I can only play the emotional card!

The enjoyable bickering lasted for two full hours.

Zhan Guo and Yatuo started by crying miserably and crying poor, and then they played the emotional card, the moral card, the investment card, etc. The two foxes, one big and one small, were unwilling to give in to each other.

The lieutenant general who participated in the meeting said nothing and just ate the melon in silence. For the first time, he felt that the lieutenant general was so wonderful, otherwise this drama would probably be something he would never see again in his lifetime.

But in the end, Zhan Guo was the better one and managed to squeeze out some profit from Yatuo. Although it wasn't much, it was a sure win!
"Damn it, he's still too young. Why is this old man so obsessed with money? He's forty years old and comes to bully a young man like me, what a bastard!"

Feeling secretly complaining in his heart, Yatuo looked at the smiling Zhan Guo with a stern face and felt very unhappy.

Although he didn't care about the tiny benefit, he was still very unhappy!

"This is the first time I know that Zhan Guo is so shameless. I've learned a lot."

"Tsk tsk, it takes a warring states to bully children. No wonder he doesn't want to get married. He's probably afraid that his true nature will be exposed and his wife will chase him and scold him. Hahaha."

The expressions of the lieutenant generals remained unchanged, but they were possessed by the spirit of drama in their hearts.

After the meeting ended and closing the door of the Marshal's office, Zhan Guo took Yatuo away directly.

"Hmm! Where are the people?"

Garp, who had just woken up, looked around. Where were Sengoku and the others?

No, we are good friends! You didn't even wake me up after the meeting?
