0076 Storm

After rushing out of the foggy sea on Hebasi Island, Lorraine kept thinking about the next countermeasures.

Four things were placed in front of him.

The first one is the overhaul of the Butterfly and Macaw.

The Macaw needs to replace the iron parts and sail installations of the entire ship, with the core being the rivets of the hull and deck. If the entire ship is to be disassembled, replace the ship's materials that cannot be reused and then assembled back, the workload is huge.

The Butterfly Flower is in better condition, with about one-third of the hull and a small portion of the boards needing replacement, and the keel and ribs also need to be thoroughly inspected.

From the perspective of quality, quantity, fast and efficient considerations, Cron gave up the seven private docks in Southampton and directly recommended the famous Pireya docks to Lorraine.

The master there was an apprentice at the Devon Harbor Dock with Kron. Although he was not a master, he was a brother sleeping on the upper and lower bunks.

Kron praised the other party's character and skills, and patted his chest to assure Lorraine that as long as Lorraine chooses Pireya Dock, the repair period of the Butterfly Flower can be controlled within ten days, and the construction period of the Macaw will not exceed forty days.

This time was only half of what Kron had originally estimated.

The second thing is the situation of the chamber of commerce.

During this trip to Hebasi, the Butterfly Flower has been missing in front of people for nearly twenty days, and I don’t know how to live or die.

As the absolute controller of the Chamber of Commerce, Lorraine knew very well what kind of fluctuations his disappearance would cause.

People's hearts will be separated.

After all, the history of the Drake Chamber of Commerce is too short and its foundation is insufficient. At present, most of the transportation capacity of the Chamber of Commerce is controlled by the three senior executives of the Northwest and Northwest Branch. Ramos, Eddie and Carmen are the spokespersons of the three partners of the Chamber of Commerce...

Once his partner develops greed and takes advantage of the trouble, his chamber of commerce will likely be divided or divided.

Any situation will have a huge blow to the Chamber of Commerce. Once it occurs, even if Lorraine's energy source continues to be replenished, it will take at least half a year to restore the old situation.

Returning to Southampton to calm people's hearts is imminent.

In addition, there are also the disposal of goldware and the subsequent response to the Cantabulian battle. Although it is also a major event that concerns life and death and interests, it is a bit out of place to consider them before the future of the Chamber of Commerce is uncertain.

Where should the destinations of butterflies and macaws be placed?

Plymouth? Or Southampton?

Lorraine finally decided to accept Cron's suggestion and the fleet headed to Pirea Dock in Plymouth Harbour.

Cron and Yacharin would stay there to handle the funeral, and he, Pierce, Henna and Noah rushed to Southampton by land, splitting their troops to maximize time and cost savings.

On the morning of October 22, the Butterfly Flower entered Sail Harbor.

Lorraine changed into a tuxedo, stood in front of the rented carriage with an umbrella in one hand and a suitcase in the other. Behind her were Henna and the other, saying goodbye to the left-behind Kron and Acharin.

"If everything goes well, Henna will pass on the news and subsequent arrangements to you as soon as possible. If anything goes wrong..." Lorraine frowned and shook her head, "That's my business. Just fix the boat. Kron is the matter for Plymouth. Don't worry about the money, I will handle it."

Kron and Carrie Lam focus on the head.

The two sides said goodbye, and Lorraine and the other four got on the bus one after another.

The coachman waiting beside him wanted to take the suitcase from Lorraine. Lorraine gently lifted the box, avoided it politely, and nodded to the coachman: "It is the relics of the ancestors, and it is the duty of the younger generation to do it personally, thank you."

"You are kind to you sir..."

The carriage slowly started, and Yacharin watched the carriage disappear at the corner of the dock, and asked worriedly: "Kron, do you think the captain will be smooth?"

"This is not something we should consider." Cron glanced at Yacharin with distant eyes. "Go to rent two good rooms nearby, and let me go before the captain returns."

"Um?"

...

After galloping overnight, the carriage finally stopped at Hebbot Walker Street, in front of the small red brick building belonging to the Drake Chamber of Commerce. Lorraine walked into the hall under the welcome of Miss Zhenna. In the building, she unexpectedly saw Ramos and Carmen sitting cautiously drinking morning tea.

"My deputy admiral and business manager will actually stay at the General Chamber of Commerce and drink morning tea. Is the business recently very depressed?"

Bang!

Carmen's spoon slammed the bone china plate in front of him in disrespect.

"President...you are finally back!"

Through the mouths of Ramos and Carmen, Lorraine finally clarified the current situation.

As he expected, the people in the chamber of commerce were panic these days and were almost dispersed.

All glory will be borne to Viren Desai, far away in the Port of La Rocelli in France.

He returned to China 14 days ago, October 9th, and then sang on various occasions. He sank the Butterfly Flower, and the whole ship was on and off, and no one survived.

For him, making up such a lie might be just for the sake of prestige and dignity, but for the Drake Chamber of Commerce who lost its president, the lie almost turned into a catastrophe.

Viscount Alfonso, who was the first to attack.

He proposed that the two shareholders of the General Chamber of Commerce died at the same time and had no heirs, so the General Chamber of Commerce should be dissolved.

The independent Northwest European and Western branch can be jointly controlled by three shareholder executives, or split into three semi-independent cooperative chambers of commerce, independent financial power, shared transportation capacity and channels.

This proposal was opposed by Carmen and Ramos, who were in Bilbao at the time, and the proposal was finally left unresolved.

Because of this incident, Carmen and Viscount Alfonso had a big fight and completely severed their kindness.

Viscount Alfonso sent a new spokesperson to replace Carmen on the same day. Carmen returned the villa villa that Viscount Alfonso gave that year. That night, he took the Cattail Flower with Ramos, ventured across the Cantabrian route and returned to the General Chamber of Commerce to take charge.

The development of the situation proves that their decision is very visionary.

Viscount Alfonso began lobbying for the other two partners.

Member Piddick was almost moved, and it was Ramos' earnest letter that made him take back the motion that had been issued.

Norway was not peaceful, but it was not Sir Gaman who was shaken, but Eddie, who was entrusted with important tasks by Lorraine.

He made a special trip to the General Chamber of Commerce and closed the door with Ramos and Carmen for a night of negotiations. He wanted to lead the Second Fleet to set up his own business. Ramos and him had a fierce quarrel and parted in a bad mood.

Eddie returned to Stavanger with resentment and anger. After that, he announced that the Second Fleet was stationed in Stavanger and suspended its business under the pretext of worrying about Lorraine and not being interested in engaging in the industry.

This is equivalent to taking a stance and trying to force Ramos and Carmen to restart negotiations and accept his request.

That was six days ago.

Eddie's rebellion took away the army of two loyal partners like a firewood from the underworld. When they were at a loss for this, Lorraine came back.

Lorraine is back, Villan's lies are self-defeating, the crisis of the Chamber of Commerce is solved, and everything... returns to the normal trajectory.

Hearing this, Lorraine smiled lightly.
Chapter completed!
