If Lorraine brought something cross-age to the Drake Chamber of Commerce, that thing must be the organizational structure of the Chamber of Commerce.

In the current era, politics is exploring democracy, but in the field of business, dictatorship and autocracy are still the mainstream.

The Chamber of Commerce is the dictatorship of the president and the company is the dictatorship of the director. Although it cannot be summarized in one thing, in general, this is a general concept.

The common wholly-owned or high-investment investment in later generations, and the free-range operation of retaining independent operation teams is an absolutely wrong way in the current era, but this is the case with the Drake Chamber of Commerce.

The General Chamber of Commerce includes four major branches in Asia, Europe, America and Africa, two major groups, maritime, industrial and mining, and one company.

If you continue to subdividate, there are also education, scientific research and even the branches of the indescribable fields such as Drake Education Group, Jackdaw Maritime Research Institute, University of Miami, Florida Labor Company, etc., which cover a wide range of areas and are related to each other.

From the analysis of shareholder composition alone, the Board of Directors of the General Chamber of Commerce, that is, the core team of Lorraine, should have an absolute majority in the decisions of all groups.

But in fact, the equity teams of each group are their real owners.

The Board of Directors of the General Chamber of Commerce has even issued a special proposal for this, which clearly states in the internal regulations:

[The board meeting of the subsidiary company may be convened and decided in the absence of the shareholder representative of the General Chamber of Commerce, but the resolution must be submitted to the General Chamber of Commerce for filing within 90 days, and the shareholder representative of the General Chamber of Commerce may reconvene it at the time deemed necessary and overturn the above resolution unconditionally].

The equity team of the subsidiary is a real power, and generally speaking, the general manager (branch president) and his supporters will have a share advantage in the initial authorization to facilitate their dominant shareholder meetings. This is a customary practice in Drake Group.

But the newly established Asian chapter broke this convention.

Branch president Eddie Garman holds 10% of the stake, while Admiral Tim Frann, as the most likely alliance to win, holds 5% of the stake, with the total shares of the two being 15%.

The proportion of the Dan shareholder group that invests in the Qing Dynasty route safety is as high as 20%. Unlike Drake's traditional style of granting shares but not authorizing shares, this time, the Dan family, as an "outsider", controls the complete shares.

Vice President Wang is also an important bargaining factor in this good office of the board of directors. On the one hand, he has a background in the General Chamber of Commerce and will definitely stand on Eddie's side in most resolutions. On the other hand, he is a Qing Dynasty person and has become the son-in-law of the Dan family. His attitude is obscure on issues related to the Qing Dynasty.

So how many shares does Wang Ye possess?

His personal shareholding is 10%, which is the first part. The General Chamber of Commerce holds 55% of the total shares of the branch. Among these 55%, Lorraine accounts for 60%, Pierce accounts for 10%, and Wang also accounts for 1/10 of the remaining 30%, which is the second part.

From the above, Wang Ye's actual shareholding is 10%+55%x30%/10=11.65%. Even if it is one-on-one duel, it is still higher than Eddie.

Eddie probably couldn't figure it out. Just for a war that appeared in the book in Lorraine's dream, he actually lost the dominance of the Qing market, which was important in the Asian territory.

Is it good? Is it bad?

The establishment of equity is a sign of the launch of a chamber of commerce. Shi Chaosheng made a lot of money. Not only did he receive Lorraine's sincerity for peace, but he also unexpectedly received the promise of Drake Chamber of Commerce to share wealth.

Next, it is the turn of the gang people to give.

Maintaining the trade security of the Drake Chamber of Commerce in the South China Sea, and expanding it to the entire Southeast Asia and the East China Sea (Japan, North Korea) with the Chamber of Commerce is a long-term cooperation between the two sides.

In the short term, there are three things that the gangsters need to do.

First, clarify the composition of the Dan family shareholder group. Shi Chaosheng said that this matter will basically be resolved in the Dan family ancestral hall. The fourth uncle's family will take away most of it, and the remaining small part will be left to the newly-emerging Baizi and several other outstanding young people from the Dan family.

Secondly, it is clear that the candidate for the near-shore transport admiral is selected. Out of a simple desire to find help for his son-in-law, Shi Chaosheng has named his second son Shi Zhanjiao in his handwriting, but other outstanding young people are not impossible. The opinions of the ancestral hall are the key, and even if Shi Zhanjiao wins the election, there is no possibility of replacement.

The third is the 50 offshore merchant ships promised to the Drake Chamber of Commerce. Lorraine had very high requirements for the ship, requiring the ship to be less than 10 years old, without serious hidden dangers, without a record of the Qing Dynasty, and to obtain legal registration, Eddie confirmed the rights in accordance with the law.

The first three requirements are left to the Dan family for screening, and the fourth problem must be left to Eddie to solve.

Because the Qing Dynasty did not allow the people to privately occupy Haili, even civilian ships could not obtain legal status in the Qing Dynasty.

There are a small number of "official ships" in the Xiguan 13 of Guangzhou Prefecture, but the rights to increase and decrease their ships are all in the government. Even if Shi Chaosheng is in Guangzhao Luodao, he cannot do anything strange about transferring the ships that have been branded to foreign businessmen.

After the negotiation, Shi Chaosheng wrote more than forty pieces of letter papers on these trivial matters, including Shi Xianggu’s marriage in Miami, sealed with dark traces, fire paint, and tokens and messengers, preparing to embark on a voyage to Asia with the second formation that arrived.

The second formation was destined to be unable to enjoy the Christmas holiday. Even if the Erikson was left to Wang Ye and Shi Chaosheng, it would take at least three months for them to arrive in Mumbai.

The route that detours South America across the Pacific Ocean can save about a month, but the Drake Chamber of Commerce does not have the pilot who is familiar with this route. When assessing the risks, its cost-effectiveness is still far lower than the honest global navigation.

...

November 21, Miami Beach.

Lorraine, Carmen, Wang Ye, Shi Chaosheng, Pierce and Shi Xianggu, who is about to get married, came to Drake's exclusive Pier 7 to practice for the second formation.

After leaving the port this time, the second formation will officially remove the label of the direct fleet and become the ocean fleet of the Asian branch.

The number of the second formation has been decided to be inherited by Pierce's Secret Service formation. Overall, Frane is very happy, Pierce is not too happy.

As the fleet left the port, Shi Chaosheng watched the mast and went south and couldn't help but sigh.

"If hundreds of boats compete for the current, the spirit of the western ship is far less than that of the blessed ship. My Black Flag Gang General Banner Mazu has a total of 13 masts, and one ship has four western ships and five masts. When dozens of ships go overseas together, their eyes are full of masts like a forest, so magnificent!"

Lorraine smiled reservedly: "Chinese-style masts are not more helpless than characteristics. After all, hard sails do not have as strong driving ability as soft sails, and the size of the sail is limited by the heavy sails. If the number of masts does not increase, the wind may not blow the blessed ship."

"It's true..." Shi Chaosheng shook his head depressedly, "A few days ago, my son-in-law brought me to the beach pier for a trip. When I knew that hundreds of ships and thousands of sails here were all looking at the face of Master Luo, I firmly felt that I should not be enemies with you."

"But there are not many ships here that belong to Drake."

"I know." Shi Chaosheng sighed, "but the virtuous son-in-law also said that this pier was the first to be prosperous by the head of Luo."

"The only one who can compare beauty to the Qing Dynasty here is Xiguan! The leader of Luo can build Xiguan with his own strength. Why should such a person be enemies? Why not be friends?"

"So you thought of begging Miss Shi to Wang Ye?"

"Marriage is close." Shi Chaosheng waved his hand, "It's a blessing for Xiang Gu to get this kind of couple!"

Lorraine didn't know whether the blessings that Shi Chaosheng mentioned were Shi Xianggu's blessings or the blessings of the Han family. In this era, no matter how East and West the concept of marriage is, women will not consider too much about women's wishes, and even women themselves agree with this.

What should I say...

Since Wang Ye and Shi Xianggu got married, the little girl who was so fierce that she dared to bite a man's butt disappeared overnight.

Shi Xiang Gu is now beautiful and smart, dignified and generous. She always stands behind Wang Ye’s side with her head down and three steps away, occasionally speaking, neither near nor far away.

Lorraine felt that she might not like such a husband-and-wife relationship.

Because they respect each other like guests, they did not feel intimate, but were distant, as if only the only red line was left that connected the fingers and fingers. Even the matchmaker was standing in the middle of the red line... it was a cliff.

Is this what Wang wants?

Lorraine didn't ask.

Wang Ye left with Shi Chaosheng and Shi Xianggu. The wedding date is approaching. In Miami, where Chinese etiquette has no foundation, they have many things to experience and do. Their schedule is very tight, and it seems that they can never finish what they need to do.

When they walked away, Carmen stood silently behind Lorraine: "Are you worried about Wang Ye?"

Lorraine shrugged: "The love in the East is restrained and alienated, and it is mixed with too many other considerations. Wang Ye grew up in Europe since he was a child, and I don't know if he can adapt."

"He grew up in the Qing Dynasty and was a pure Qing people from the inside out." Carmen retorted bluntly, "If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have accepted this marriage at all, and wouldn't care about his wife's age when hesitated."

Lorraine was stunned for a moment: "It seems...it's true..."

Carmen smiled arrogantly, shook his fan and covered his beautiful face.

"My slow captain, I think you should try to withdraw your eyes and find the strangeness that is close to you instead of worrying about the love of an unreasonable Qing people."

"It's so close... strange?"

This strange thing is really strange to use, it is a bit slutty and can't be explained clearly.

Lorraine leaned closer to stare at Carmen's eyes, very close, making Carmen's face flushed. If it weren't for the slap in the middle, her two mouths might have kissed each other at any time.

"What are you looking at?" Carmen thought to himself, I'm not sure what kind of fan I'm going to do!

"You suggested me to find the strange things around you."

"No... it's not me!" Carmen took a step back, put away the Su-embroidered silver bone fan worth more than a hundred pounds, and stuffed it to a passing immigrant, "I mean Pierce."

"Pearce?"

Lorraine wanted to ask again, but Carmen happened to be entangled by the Port Authority's subordinates, busy explaining some of the Miami immigration policies, and it seemed that he had no time to pay attention to him for the time being.

He could only find problems with Pierce.

"Little Pierce?"

"ha?"

"Speaking of this, you seem to be following me recently..."

"Eh?" Pierce was very panicked, very panicked, "That... I brought Mr. Shi, I have an obligation..."

"You can't even understand Chinese, and Carmen won't help you translate."

"That... I've actually learned a little."

"Is that so? Then what were Uncle Shi and I just said?"

"..." Pierce thought for a while, "Brother, I might be getting married."

"Haha! It's a pity, guess..." Lorraine's words froze in the air, her smiling face and tongue froze in the air, "Wait, what did you say just now?"

"Me!" Pierce said loudly, "Maybe we are going to get married..." and became very quiet again.

A very low-pitched statement mixed into the air of the buzzing Miami Beach and reached Lorraine's ears without missing a word.

Lorraine reacted for a long time, first translated it into Chinese in her mind, then converted it into pinyin, and folded it back to English in the form of a phonetic symbol.

“You getting married?”
Chapter completed!
