Cape of Good Hope.

The black sea water, bright red reefs, and flocks of black cormorants lined up on the rocks, stretching their long necks, and looking mockingly at the humans running on the ocean.

This is the southwesternest end of the African intercontinent, where the ocean meets the ocean. The cold current from the south and the warm current from the east gather here, forming a storm and thunder that lasts all year round.

Lorraine once warned Pierce that traveling through the Cape of Good Hope must be before winter.

Because the Cape of Good Hope will turn into a boiling iron pot in winter. Under the ravage of strong west winds, killing waves of 15 to 20 meters can be seen everywhere. Even with a Valkyri-level physique, it is difficult to protect yourself in the face of such natural disasters.

Fortunately, today's Cape of Good Hope is precious, calm and beautiful.

The soft breeze wrinkles the sea surface, the tiny waves gently caress the cape rock, the large waves are nowhere to subside, and they aggregate into milky white foam, just like wearing a winter coat for the cape.

Pierce stood on the highest sail truss and looked regretfully at the vast vast sea in the northeast direction.

There is the Indian Ocean.

Once you cross the Cape of Good Hope and head east along the continuous coastline, you will soon see the wonderful Madagascar, followed by Moses going to the Red Sea that God had opened up during his exodus, West Asia, where the holy city of Jerusalem is located, the rich subcontinent and the East Indies on the sea.

Then there was the Sea of ​​China, Wang Ye’s hometown, where the Qing Dynasty, which was larger than the entire Europe, was located.

Diaz, Da Gama, and countless great navigators walked into the east through this gate. Now this gate is close to you, Pierce cannot cross it immediately.

Because he still has a mission, Cape Town, the destination of the mission, is not far northwest of the Cape of Good Hope. The Cape of Good Hope is a road mark, but after finding the road mark, he needs to retreat instead of moving forward.

"Forget it, the Indian Ocean will not run away anyway. This trip was Eddie Logan's general review, which is related to his future. It's better to put priority to the highest level."

After admonishing himself for a long time, Pierce finally gathered his mind.

He held the mast and lowered his head, shouting to his deck: "The fleet turns around and heads to the northwest. Let's go to Cape Town and build the African branch!"

"The flag order goes down!" Turner's transfer order sounded on the deck, "The admiral order is targeted at Cape Town. The navigation beacon is transferred to the flagship, the whole ship turns around, and a line is set! Set sail!"

"The whole ship turns around!"

"The lady turned around!"

"Horizontal flag raises!"

"Closing the main sail, sail two, turn the sail!"

"Rolling alarm! Fixed body shape, right rudder full!"

Among the boat-carrying orders, Ray's thick midrange was particularly conspicuous, easily suppressing the rest of the noise, making people feel that the hull rolled particularly fiercely.

Even though he knew it was an illusion, Adria still grabbed Gusuo on his waist tightly.

He was only a few meters away from Pierce, and standing at the closest distance, he sniffled in dissatisfaction: "Admiral, we have arrived in the Indian Ocean, do we really have to go and have a walk?"

"Bo! This time we act alone, and the contracts we will sign for you are always trial. Whether you can be transferred to a regular basis depends on the final comprehensive assessment. Do you still remember the assessment ratio?"

"Uh... Daddy 30, real record 30, and Mr. Logan from Europe and Northwest..."

"Yes, Eddie Logan scored 40 points." Pierce kicked his boots angrily. "When the Chamber of Commerce first started, he had a scruple for his brother, but he was removed from the fleet command. Even the branch's specific business behavior was only the right to suggest. As the branch's vice president, he and Dad Leonard were not in the same position as if he was performing the same position."

"He simply performed well over the years. President Pidick is not the kind of powerful general who expands territory. It is all his efforts that Europe and Northwest Europe and Northwestern Europe opened up the entire Baltic Sea, successfully expanded its business to Gibraltar, and began to march into the Mediterranean."

"Last year's annual meeting, my brother said at the dance that Eddie Logan had the ability to helm a branch, which basically represented the representatives of the infidelity that he would lift his unfaithful sanctions. So at the beginning of this year he handed over two development plans, one was the Mediterranean development plan in Northwest Europe and the other was the African development plan. In March, he received most of the approval of the board meeting."

All training majors in Drake Chamber of Commerce School place economic courses as compulsory courses. As a top student in the advanced class, Adria's understanding of business processes and market concepts is enough to meet the unclear requirement of "a person who understands the industry".

So he immediately heard Pierce's implicit sound.

"March...it's almost October now. Are we not the advance team that we always have?"

"Advance? We are just responsible for the finishing." Pierce dragged his long voice and was indifferent. "The president of the African branch has been confirmed to be Eddie Logan. In the past six months, he has prepared all the official procedures, determined the Cape Town branch station, signed the rental and purchase intention of the water warehouse, warehouse and berth, and became a guest of honor for the general manager of the African company. I heard that even upstream manufacturers have hooked up with more than a dozen, and he vowed to ensure that the African branch can make money from the first day of its listing."

"But the finale is the finale... After all, the start-up capital and ship of the new branch are in our hands. Without us, Eddie Logan can't do anything."

Adria rolled his eyes suddenly: "You mean, we are pinching his life gate, and he is pinching our life gate?"

"This is almost certainly the work of Sister Carmen. She is best at making everyone feel uncomfortable with fairness." Pierce murmured as she touched her chin, "but she certainly wouldn't have thought that we could have a big pirate when we deliver goods."

"I plan to do a business with Eddie Logan. Regarding the ten broken ships left after the original Praia Revenge Army was sunk by us, I think one minute per mast should be a reasonable price according to the number of masts."

Adria was very convinced for a moment: "Admiral, isn't that cheating?"

"President Logan clearly has the freedom to accept, how can he be called cheating? And we left the ship at the dock in Dakar, and this transaction is destined to be money first and then goods."

"He first gave me the allowance and then arranged for someone to take the boat in Dakar. The two things will be at least a month apart. As long as no one complains, the brother will not contact them together."

"Uh... Admiral, long live..."

...

The Secret Service Fleet arrived in Cape Town.

According to some provisions in the "Implementation Minutes on the Entry of Public Wharfs" by the Chamber of Commerce School, the Lady Yatis and the Future Number were first anchored at the anchor point outside the port. Pierce transferred to the new code and led the Xiangyang Flower Numbers into the port for the first batch.

With the pansy flag of the Chamber of Commerce, they were not subject to any investigation. Soon, under the guidance of the pilot, they berthed into the reserved berth No. 6. Pierce was the first to disembark and popped up a shilling at the pilot from a distance.

"Beautiful flag-spoken, sir."

The pilot responded with a stinking face while taking the shilling for granted, "Cape Town is not a small fishing village, sir, we have at least four berths to dock the big ship you left off the sea."

Pierce was beaten up and could only laugh helplessly: "There is no absolute in the world. Sir, my elders have always taught me that I can't cause trouble for my friends when I go out."

The navigator shrugged his shoulders and made a whocares expression: "Sir, are you Drake Chamber of Commerce in Southampton?"

“It’s obvious.”

"Drake's crew can go to the South African-style hotel north of the town, which is the VIP guesthouse for the African company. President Logan of the Chamber of Commerce is in Villa No. 6 on the Lake, which was arranged by General Manager Baker."

"Thank you for reducing a lot of trouble for me." Pierce popped up another shilling, twisted his head, and said to Freemany behind him, "Lease a carriage and we'll go and visit Brother Eddie."

"Yes, admiral..."
