Chuck used his performance to refresh Lorraine's judgment of his ability again and again.

Two days after the interview, he bought an entire plantation for Lorraine, located near the Beibu Gulf in Lucie town.

This plantation covers a vast area, facing the sea in the north and backing to the west, including a manor, horse farm, farmland, sugarcane farm, coffee villa and a private fishing port. It has a total area of ​​more than 300 acres. It also provides 22 black slave contracts for four families working in the plantation, as well as twelve indigenous hirings responsible for handling the manor villa.

Those natives were nominal free people, eight women and four men, generally no more than thirty years old, and many were even around twenty years old.

They signed a lifelong employment contract with the manor, and the harsh terms were no different from those of slaves. Lorraine even saw the stupid word "First Night Right" that had long been swept into the old paper.

And the price of such a plantation is only two thousand pounds.

The price is far lower than Lorraine's psychological price, which forced him to suspect that Chuck used his surname to do some bullying activities offline.

For the sake of fame, Lorraine chose to question Chuck bluntly.

Chuck did not explain too much, but just asked the original owner and Lorraine to conduct industrial delivery face to face, which was on the third day after the interview.

A ridiculous misunderstanding came to light.

The original owner's ancestor was a pioneering citizen from Donxster, England. With courage, eloquence and luck, he quickly broke away from the class of bankrupt peasants, bought industries in Jamaica, and established stable trade relations with North America.

Their family once enjoyed the rich life of three generations like a man, and once ran for Jamaican parliament as the representative of the owner of the Lucie Town estate.

The colonial members are incomparable with the parliamentary levels of the British Isle in terms of value, and are in name but not real.

They were governed by the local governor, who was appointed only by the king and responsible to the king and the kingdom parliament, and held all the administrative rights of the colonies.

In short, the colonial parliament is like a democratic beacon that only lights up during the day. They can participate in politics and make decisions, but the passed laws are like waste paper without the signature of the governor.

However, no one can deny that this is an amazing class leap.

Unfortunately, if the moon is full, the good times will not last long. The North American War of Independence broke out without warning.

Their trade channels in North America were cut off, and the income of the plantation fell sharply. The accumulation of three generations of people only lasted for a few years and could no longer afford the original luxury life.

They had the idea of ​​selling plantations themselves, and wanted to take advantage of the surplus to return to England to start a new life.

Jamaica's plantations are not valuable. Compared with England, where every inch of land is valuable, the land here can only be described as cheap.

As early as half a year ago, they had sold 3,000 pounds, but no one cared about it. Chuck simply analyzed the prices of the industry in England for them, expressed his desire to buy and psychological prices, and the business was negotiated.

The price per acre of land, including the land and all attachments on the land, is controlled at 6 pounds and thirteen shillings, and 300 acres is 1,985 pounds, of which 10% are commissions belonging to the middlemen, fair transactions, and money and goods are cleared.

Without any worries, Lorraine moved into a new manor that day and enjoyed the corrupt life of the colonial manor owners comfortably.

Five more days later, Chuck asked the new vice president Arthur Leonard to report to Lorraine on the progress of the establishment of the branch chamber of commerce. Lorraine set up afternoon tea on the grass in front of the manor and welcomed his loyal subordinate who abandoned the boat.

"How is it, are you still used to life on the ground?"

"I was originally a sailor near the sea. I spent half a year wandering on the land, so I was not used to it."

"Don't call the captain in the future, call the president." Lorraine smiled and shook her head, "Don't pretend to be stupid, you know what I'm talking about."

Leonard smiled bitterly: "Boat... President, I am just a rough man. If you hadn't been to your support, you wouldn't even be able to get out of Europe. Now you suddenly asked me to be the vice president of the branch chamber..."

"You have prestige among sailors and are meticulous in dealing with things on the ship. Kron and Wang have praised you, and have mentioned to me more than once that you want to promote you to be the third mate on the ship."

"The two gentlemen look down on me."

"They underestimate you." Lorraine smiled and waved her hand. "You are solid and steady. You are just managing the equipment and sailors on the flagship. It's really a bit of a waste of money for you."

"President..."

"President Parker is a young man, motivated, capable, and has a prominent surname. All you have to do is to assist him and check for his omissions. The first thing is to manage and transfer to the General Chamber of Commerce with you, and to become the twenty people who will be delegated to the colonies. Don't let them fight against President Parker without any depth or shallowness based on their qualifications."

Leonard's eyes lit up and he finally understood Lorraine's purpose of driving him off the ship.

He took a big sip of tea and exhaled a heat: "President, I just need to take good care of people?"

"Learn from President Parker to learn how to do business." Lorraine knocked on the table with dissatisfaction, "Also, find an opportunity to take your family over. I believe that President Parker will make the branch prosperous, you will become a celebrity, and it is time to reunite with your family and enjoy the joy of family."

Leonard stood up with a huh, saluting with his legs as if he was on a boat: "Yes! President!"

"Sit down." Lorraine looked at Leonard with a wry smile and said softly, "If a celebrity looks like a celebrity, learn the right dress and etiquette first. What's going on with this tuxedo? Why are you wrinkled?"

Leonard scratched his head embarrassedly: "I have worn a tuxedo before, a down-and-out house... I was still here before, President Parker forced me to buy it."

"You have to customize it right away when you go back to Kingston and choose a tailor." Lorraine thought for a while and said, "Look for Carmen... No, she seemed to have gone out of the city with Henna yesterday. She asked Pierce to pay five hundred pounds, top hat, wig, walking stick... You have to buy some clothes and make a makeover with those guys, you can do it."

"I want it all?"

"Of course! You will often use these in the future. Don't lose my face because of being careless."

"clear!"

"By the way, I'll ask you to prepare a Sloop, are you ready?"

Leonard Zheng focused on the head: "I picked up a new ship from last year, a 15-meter-level, and can be equipped with up to 30 sailors. In order to ensure safety, I also purchased two nine-pound cannons in the black market and placed them in the bow and stern..."

"Did you get the cannon for the ship?" Lorraine frowned, "Do you know which ship is the safest in the Caribbean?"

"What?"

"The fishing boats without any armed forces are the safest. Because even sharks know that there is no oil or water to fish in such a boat." Lorraine sniffed and sipped her tea. "Let's go back and remove the ship's mount, install a set of fishing nets on the bow, and hang the fishing nets, just like a real fishing boat."

"yes!"

"Does President Parker know about Sloop?"

"No one knows except me and a few old brothers who are in charge."

"That's good……"

Even if the private matter was explained, Lorraine thought about it carefully, and there was no omission. Then she sighed, leaned on the back of the chair loosely, and crossed her legs.

"President Parker asked you to report on the preparations for the branch. Let's talk about it. What did he do in five days?"

Chuck's progress once again made Lorraine blew.

It took only five days to get the branch's business license and also link it with the General Chamber of Commerce in equity, only the issue of determining the specific equity ratio.

In addition, he bought the Irish-style hotel where Lorraine had previously settled in for the branch headquarters, and rented a 2,000 square meters of dock warehouse and a fixed berth in Port Royal for a total price of 1,300 pounds.

He also bought two second-hand Mianfanskuna types for 800 pounds each and formed a branch's transfer fleet.

The two ships are called the Cube Sugar and the Rich Coffee. The fleet admiral is Corterence recommended by Nelson, and the deputy admiral is the excellent sailor Olmert who got off the Lorraine ship.

Leonard came here this time and brought the original branch's business license and the equity agreement drafted by Chuck.

This means that in just over ten days, Chuck used Lorraine to buy him the manor, bought the manor, and completed the basic construction of the entire branch.

Now everything is ready, and only further capital injection is left, the branch can start to operate and create profits for Lorraine on the Caribbean Sea.

This profit will definitely not match Lorraine's huge investment in the short term, but who didn't start from scratch?

Chuck has proven his ability, and it is only a matter of time before the Caribbean score will turn losses into profits under his leadership.

Lorraine was in a little trouble.

He seemed to have picked up a treasure.

But the more precious this treasure is, the more restless he feels...

So, how can Chuck be able to shine and heat in the branch chamber with peace of mind?

Lorraine thought about taking over the equity agreement, read it carefully several times, and changed it a few randomly, and handed it back to Leonard.

"Tell President Parker that the General Chamber of Commerce does not need to own 100% of the shares, nor does I need to simply hire employees. He has to be responsible for the profits and losses of the branch."

"10%..." Leonard looked at the agreement, "President, why do I have 5% too?"

"Only by making a joint profit can the branch develop well." Lorraine smiled indifferently, "When you leave, you will bring back the remaining 10,000 pounds that the branch started. Also, I will write a letter to President Ramos, Northwest Europe and North, asking him to form an ocean-going fleet with his camera. For details, please communicate with him personally, and take the trade cooperation between the two branches as soon as possible."
