0128 First Night Right

The preparation process for the Caribbean Score was smooth.

On March 6, 1779, the Caribbean Score, which was ready for everything, was officially established in Port Royal.

Lorraine was invited to attend the ribbon cutting ceremony and presided over the first high-level meeting of the branch.

Chuck Parker was determined to be the president of the Caribbean Chamber of Commerce, with a 10% stake and was appointed as the CEO of the branch board.

Arthur Leonard holds 5% of the shares and becomes vice president and second CEO. Richard Corterance is the admiral of the transshipment fleet and Tilby Olmert is the deputy admiral.

Barbados will establish the first branch exchange within 15 days, with the representatives of the resident Ster Reed and Bridgeton.

In addition, Chuck also poached Pislot, a well-known businessman in Kingston from a Portuguese chamber of commerce with high salaries. He will be stationed in Southampton to become the business representative of the Caribbean chapter in Northwest Europe and the third executive officer of the board of directors of Northwest Europe and Northwest Europe.

Similarly, after receiving the letter, Ramos will also select suitable people to enter the core management of the Caribbean club.

This mutual delegation is a relatively common management model for the Intercontinental Trade Chamber of Commerce. It not only helps the communication between the two branches in trade cooperation, but also effectively reduces the independence of the branches, restrains and supervises each other.

But interestingly, this suggestion was not proposed by Lorraine, but by Chuck.

At the cocktail party after the meeting, Lorraine and Chuck gathered in the locker room.

Lorraine raised her glass inexplicably: "Chuck, you seem to be worried about being suspicious of me."

"I especially admire the president's words."

"oh?"

"Young people, dreams are enough..."

Speaking of this, Lorraine suddenly spoke out and agreed in unison: "What are you doing for money?"

After saying that, the two looked at each other and laughed.

"I really don't understand why the Parker family let you out, a business genius like you."

"Because I don't want to do business for them." Chuck showed a disgusting expression. "The family's chambers of commerce are full of old-fashioned uncles and uncles. They have old-minded thoughts and no adventurous spirit. I despise them."

"But before the war ends, I will not risk opening North American routes."

"But the war is about to end. I believe you will not pay attention to His Majesty's sanctions on North America, nor will you stop me from pursuing love with Miss Alves for the sake of the so-called noble circle, right?"

"You should probably be born in France." Lorraine smiled and raised her glass, "Long live love."

"Long live understanding."

...

After the long launch ceremony of the Caribbean score, Lorraine recalled the conversation with Chuck and got on the carriage that returned to Lucie town overnight.

Trust is the cornerstone of cooperation between people, and he and Chuck just lack this cornerstone, and they had never heard of each other's names before they arrived in Kingston.

But through this conversation, at least the first brick was built between the two and the first elm of soil was dug.

Chuck told Lorraine that he planned to venture to Pennsylvania after the chamber of commerce stabilized.

Miss Alves lived there, and he wanted to tell her the news that he had left the family's control. After that, whether it was elopement or communication to maintain a romantic relationship, he would no longer be in this unclear state.

Lorraine is optimistic about their future.

The love between the young couple started during the war, and Sir Parker and Councillor Alves clearly had a private friendship beyond political interests.

Since important elders of both sides support this relationship, it is not too unimaginable that they enter the marriage hall after the war is over.

In particular, Chuck also escaped his economic dependence on the family.

Whether it is emotional or planning, Lorraine has made the backup method for Chuck to leave the branch at any time, and is willing to always entrust his Caribbean branch to him before he makes the decision to resign, and his genius business mind can start and strengthen the scale of the ocean-going trade of the Drake Chamber of Commerce.

As for himself... without the constraints of the Chamber of Commerce, he can finally take risks.

On the sunrise on March 7, the carriage that had been galloping all night stopped in front of the coastal villa of Luxi Manor. Lorraine jumped out of the car and threw her umbrella to the maid waiting at the door.

"Maca, remove the horses and take good care of them. I will not use them again in a short time."

"Yes, sir." The coachman responded in a low voice.

Maca is one of the twelve Indian employed, managing the horse farm in the manor, and also working as a coachman in Lorraine.

The Indians used Quechua, and their names were often full of meanings, such as "Maca", which translated as a war horse in a fortress, and it sounded like a natural horse breeder. The maid who was waiting to pick up an umbrella for Lorraine at the door was called Finrier, and the name contained the meaning of "lighthouse" and "hope".

After a brief ten days of contact, Lorraine found that these Indians were all honest and honest. She didn't know whether the hundreds of years of colonial history had already given these surviving indigenous people the concept of race and class, or whether the original owner carefully selected and accepted such a personality.

In short, Lorraine used the blessings of the original owner very easily.

Seeing Maca driving to the horse farm, Lorraine let Finlier take off his hat and sweep away the dust of the hike, suddenly asked, "Finlier, I heard that you and Maca are lovers?"

Finlier's face suddenly turned red to the base of his neck: "Yes, sir."

"When will you plan to get married?"

"This...it depends on what the sir said."

"Listen to me?"

Lorraine thought about it for a long time without knowing it, and when she saw Finlier turning red and still had a vague sad expression, she remembered the damn Chu Yequan.

His mood suddenly became mostly stinking: "I'm going out tomorrow, and today, you can ask Pierce to modify the previous contract."

"Modify..." Finlier suddenly became frightened, "Sir, if you don't want us to get married, we can not get married! If you drive us away, we will be arrested by slave traders soon, we..."

"What do you think about? Just remove the right to the first night. You are free people, and you do not need such inhuman constraints, and you should also freely decide the time of your marriage."

The little girl's pupils really lit up with hope: "Sir, you mean..."

"Only remove the first night power, other terms remain unchanged. This change should not make me the target of Luci's gentlemen, and you can also clean yourself in the future. They are dirty, and I feel awkward."

"Yes! Yes, sir!" Finlier held Lorraine's accessories at a loss, "I...please forgive me for taking my leave first, I'll wash my face now!"

With Lorraine's permission, she jumped and ran to the direction of the racecourse. Lorraine watched her leave and happened to see Henna walk out of the house and look at Finlier's back in confusion.

"What did you say to her?"

"Change the contract and remove that stupid right to first night."

"Why?"

"Because it should be my sacred and inviolable right. Haven't the gentlemen who have sperm brains ever thought that the so-called right actually violates their own human rights first?"

Henna tilted her head and thought, "Your interpretation seems a bit strange."

"Who cares? This is my manor anyway." Lorraine smiled and invited Henna to hold her arm, "When did you and Carmen come back?"

"yesterday."

“Where have you gone?”

"I went to Cape France."

"Cape de France...Saint-Domingo?" Lorraine said in surprise, "What are you doing in the French colony?"

"The smuggling is about to begin. Carmen and I both feel that we need to prepare some small things for you. Kingstons are so chaotic that it is not suitable."

"Some shameful little things, not enough to buy in a small town that is not prosperous enough..." Lorraine laughed silently, "That means, you won't plan to let me disguise, are you?"

"That's right, it's just a drag."

Henna looked at Lorraine, and a figure reflected in her emerald green eyes, without a trace of jokes.
