November 15th, mid-month.

As the end of the year approaches, the Drake Chamber of Commerce has fully entered the Christmas cycle.

From the New World to the Indian Ocean, there was tension and turmoil everywhere before the festival. The original mature ship team was crushed by the holiday scheduling, and the navigation accident rate increased by 30%.

Just yesterday, even Frann, the admiral of the second formation stationed in Port Royal, received a famous reprimand from the Fleet Staff. The strong words in the article made the major branches that had already flown under the Christmas tree silent.

The news that Lorraine's own son's direct fleet received public reprimands is the top news in the Chamber of Commerce's popularity these days.

Since it has fallen, the second is that this year's Christmas holiday will be distributed in the form of 15 to 40 days. The specific reference is the job scores of each employee, and the average scores in the previous two years.

The third is that the Chamber of Commerce is preparing to start the establishment of an Asian branch after the Christmas holiday. The asset management company is soliciting volunteers. The selected person will receive a preferential treatment of 10% of the annual salary increase for three years.

There is also fourth, something happened to the Drake Federation of Trade Unions in Miami.

On November 7, Budapest, the third accountant of the Federation of Trade Unions, reported to Chairman Clark Nullens, six crimes, including embezzlement, abuse of power, and deliberately creating conflicts between the capital and labor. The Federation of Trade Unions attached great importance to it, and Carmen personally led the team. The investigation team blocked the Federation of Trade Unions archives on the same day.

The investigation lasted for 4 days. On November 12, a total of seven people below Clark Nullens were terminated by Drake. Miami sheriff arrested them in the General Engineering Conference Hall and transferred them to the parade court on the same day.

On November 13, the Federation of Trade Unions launched a special bill, and the former Vice Chairman Jane Emmash, who received extremely high praise in the investigation, took over as chairman without dispute and began to form a new Federation of Trade Unions service team.

Father Sandas, bishop of the Diocese of Florida, presided over Emma ***'s oath of office. Lorraine, who rarely participated in the oath activities, took her busy schedule and handed over the letter of appointment to the second chairman of the Federation of Trade Unions and the first female chairman.

He also delivered a speech, requiring the Federation of Trade Unions to clarify their responsibilities and responsibilities, serve workers more carefully, rebuild trust, make up for cracks, and be a good link between investors and workers, rather than becoming a parasite that is attached to the contradictions of labor and capital.

On November 14, yesterday, the preliminary trial of the corruption case of senior Drake Federation of Trade Unions was held in the First Trial Hall of the Hekou District. A total of 369 Drake labor representatives attended the audience, and Miami mayor Dipuyani led the jury.

In the face of sufficient evidence, former Chairman Clark Nullens confessed to the allegations of malicious inciting membership fees in 1787, with activities totaling 417 pounds, 13 shillings and 6pence in order to concoct false accounts.

His verdict will be issued in a second trial two weeks later, and if not unexpected, it is likely to face more than ten years of forced labor and at least three years of imprisonment.

Lorraine and Carmen were talking about this case. The location was Lorraine's study, and Wang Ye and Pierce were next to it.

"Carmen, is the issue of embezzlement of 400 pounds?"

"It's true." Carmen curled his lips disdainfully. "At the beginning, I asked Faramine to intimidate accountants by fabricating fake accounts. Because the accounts of the Federation of Trade Unions were scattered and the fund users generally lacked financial concepts, even if the accounting work was meticulous, it would not be possible to avoid injustice in borrowing."

"Adjusting the lending title, selective splitting or merging lending are routine financial operations, even in our financial regulations, these actions are expressly prohibited."

Lorraine rolled her eyes: "That is to say, even if Budapun is a perfect man who is dedicated to the public, your accusation will not be lost?"

"Yes, the allegations of making false accounts are vague. Even if he has no personal problems, I have sufficient reasons to dismiss the hiring."

"Uh...and then I found out the problem?"

Carmen shrugged: "Clark Nullens is a fool. In order to win over the active activities of various trade unions and to make his full and public and selfless personality, he set up a special fund for the chairman.

"The entire accounting room is a participant. Because the allocation of the Federation of Trade Unions is very limited, his special funds have to be withdrawn from the membership union, that is, the membership fees submitted by the workers, and in 1787 alone, it reached more than 400 pounds a year."

"It seems that he did not regard himself as the savior of the proletariat. I overestimate him..." Lorraine was a little depressed, "Next, what do you plan to do about the General Union?"

"I have officially recognized the Chairman's activity fund." Carmen smiled charmingly, "The project funding consists of two parts, one is 5% of the contributions made by the employee union, and the other is a special funding from the asset management company, with a yearly 300 pounds."

"In this way, the new activity funds will reach 800 to 1,000 pounds per year, but the transfer is not allowed, that is, the items will be cleared every year, and the balance will not be accumulated in the next financial year."

Lorraine? She raised her eyebrows in another place: "The last chairman was imprisoned for the event money, and the next chairman got the official event money?"

Carmen nodded: "Jane Emmash is a smart person I personally selected. She knew that her ex was abandoned because of Li Yang. And I told her more bluntly that Clark Nullens' bad luck had nothing to do with money, and her guess was all right."

"It seems that our capitalist union can finally get on the right track." Lorraine met the incident report before him, looking up at Wang Ye, who was playing chess with Pierce.

Chess is a Chinese chess. Shi Chaosheng gave Lorraine a gift. Pierce stomped the oblique angle and ate Wang Ye's car that had never moved before. He was busy complaining about the stinginess of the Qing people and was unwilling to attract farmers after all the war.

Lorraine showed a disgusting expression.

"When recruiting soldiers, elite troops are more important than numbers, and when choosing generals, wisdom is more important than strength. This is the truth that the Qing people and the Han people before have always believed in the history of thousands of years of war."

He said: "What's more, the war in the Eastern Kingdoms is much more terrifying than you can imagine."

"This set of chess is based on a real war during the Eastern Expedition of Alexander the Great. One side of the war was Chu and the other side was Han. The two countries lined up across the river, and their respective sizes were as high as hundreds of thousands of people."

Puff! The pawn in Pierce's hand fell on the chessboard.

"How many...hundreds of thousands?"

"At least there are 100,000 people in each country. The Eastern Kingdoms are different from the West. In order to intimidate the enemy, they often exaggerate the size of their troops. [Gathering 40,000 troops to 100,000], in their opinion, the war has already begun when the conscript is called."

Pierce was puzzled: "A leader of a country lies without any scruples. Aren't they afraid that they will not be able to go to heaven after death?"

"Catholic pagans can't go to heaven, and do you think our politicians don't lie? It's all the same. Lies are human instincts, so honesty is education."

Pierce glitted his eyes guiltily and picked up the pawn on the chessboard again.

"An army of 100,000 people, so this carved round plate represents 20,000 people?"

"You can really understand that."

Pierce was excited, and slapped the pawn to the side of the general with a snap, occupied the position of the taxi running away, and proudly said to the king: "Now I have 20,000 farmers grazing sheep in the castle, you will definitely lose!"

The king also covered his face in pain: "Yes, yes, you are wise..."

This chess can't be played anymore.

Lorraine gave Wang Ye a blank look: "Are you very idle? Is that Mr. Shi tired of wandering around the New World?"

"It's not too boring to go shopping." Wang also admitted his defeat. "The day before yesterday, you two wanted to visit the shipyard in St. Dyna. I borrowed the night incense from Pierce. But when I came back, it was raining and Miss Shi was stunned. So the old man delayed his trip to New York and Boston."

Lorraine flew over and rolled her eyes for a second: "Miss Shi is so ineffective. Do you still have the leisure to mess with Pierce?"

Wang Ye's old face turned red: "It's a difference between a host and a guest..."

"Often guests don't ask to marry their daughter to a tour guide, right?" Lorraine smiled hurriedly, "When is it? It seems that it is the 10th, when you are visiting the pier in Miami Beach."

Wang was at a loss by Lorraine: "Captain... Boss, Uncle Shi just said casually. I am over 30 this year, and I am nearly 20 years away from Miss Shi, but I am only 9 years away from Uncle..."

"This seems not a problem in the Qing Dynasty." Lorraine thought for a while, "It's not in Europe either. I only see that you are not married and she is not married. No matter how you look at it, they are all a good marriage."

"But Miss Shi is only 12..."

"As long as you can hold it up, you can wait until she is 16 years old before taking away her virginity."

Lorraine stood up and lifted the map board of the study, revealing Pierce's hand-painted Asian chart.

"Wang Ye, I'll just say it." He looked at the picture and said, "Shi Chaosheng brought his daughter here probably to prepare for both."

"If our strength is not good, he and his daughter will die in a foreign land, so that the thief will officially declare war with us. And if our strength meets his requirements, we will marry Shi Xiang Gu and create a marriage."

"His earliest target should be me or Pierce. It depends on my opinion, whether he is satisfied with Shi Xiang Gu, and whether he is willing to become a partner's son-in-law. But after seeing you, you are obviously more suitable than us."

"As for you..." Lorraine turned her head to find Wang Ye, "We have known each other for more than ten years. You have gone from a sailor who wandered around for dozens of gold Louis to a capital celebrity with a net worth of tens of thousands of pounds today. Why have you never got married? Not just a wife, you don't even have a lover."

"I can understand that the Qing people value bloodlines and regard European women as aliens and do not want to get married and have children. But as far as I know, there are more than ten Qing people in Boston who want to marry you."

"The third sister's father is the legitimate descendant of Wing Chun. She teaches her daughter well, and her living environment has also made rapid progress with the establishment of the labor community. Why did she suddenly give her daughter to you as a disciple? Did she fall in love with your gossip and dragon?"

"You're fine. The third sister has just arrived at you, but Ye, you turned your disciple into a disciple and forced him to Pierce. Why?"

Lorraine sighed: "What you want is root and want to go back to Qing, so what you reject is not bloodline, but belonging. In this case, why don't you respond to Shi Chaosheng's proposal? You stayed in Valkyrie and Miami, and you will never find a reason to go back to Qing. Do you really plan to never marry for the rest of your life?"

Wang Ye said with a whisper: "Captain, I'm afraid we will cooperate with the thief in the future..."

"Cooperation is cooperation, life is life." Lorraine picked up the teaching stick in the picture slot and clicked on the icon of Xingdao. "If you are indeed willing to marry Shi Xiang Gu, I have some ideas about Asia..."
