Six Hundred and Sixty Six Get Marry

If Lorraine brought something trans-epochal to the Drake Chamber of Commerce, it must be the Chamber of Commerce's organizational structure.

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 chairman, and the company is the dictatorship of the directors. Although they cannot be generalized, in general, this is the general concept.

In the current era, it is absolutely crooked to use wholly-owned or preferential capital to invest in shares and retain an independent operation team, but this is the case with the Drake Chamber of Commerce.

Under the General Chamber of Commerce, there are four major chapters in Asia, Europe, America, and Africa, two major groups of maritime affairs and industrial mining, and an asset management company.

If you continue to subdivide it, there are Drake Education Group, Jackdaw Maritime Research Institute, University of Miami, Florida Labor Company and other branches of education, scientific research, and even unspeakable fields, which cover a wide range of areas and are interrelated.

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 hold an absolute majority in the decision-making of all groups.

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

The board of directors of the General Chamber of Commerce even issued a special proposal for this purpose, which clearly stated in the internal regulations:

[Subsidiary board meetings can be convened and made resolutions in the absence of shareholder representatives of the General Chamber of Commerce, but the meeting resolution must be submitted to the Asset Management Company of the General Chamber of Commerce for record within 90 days, and the shareholder representatives of the General Chamber of Commerce can reconvene and make decisions at a time deemed necessary Unconditionally overturn the above resolution].

The equity team of the subsidiary is a real power group, and generally speaking, the general manager (sub-chairman) and his supporters will take advantage of the shares in the initial authorization to facilitate their leadership of the shareholder meeting. This is a kind of convention in the Drake Group practice.

But the newly formed Asia chapter has broken this convention.

The branch president, Eddie Garman, holds 10% of the shares, and Admiral Tim Frain, as his most likely ally, holds 5% of the shares. The total shares of the two are 15%.

The Danjia shareholder group, which takes the price of Qingguo flight safety as the price, accounts for as high as 20%, and is different from Drake's traditional style of granting shares without authorization. This time, as an "outsider", Danjia holds all the shares. .

The vice chairman Wang is also a pivotal weight in the mediation of the board of directors. On the one hand, he has a background in the General Chamber of Commerce and will definitely side with Eddie in most resolutions. On the other hand, he is from the Qing Dynasty and has become a The son-in-law of the family, on issues related to the Qing Dynasty, his attitude is obscure.

So how many shares does Wang Ye own?

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

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

Eddie probably couldn't figure it out, but because of a war that appeared in books in Lorraine's dream, he actually lost the dominance of the Qing Dynasty market, which is very important in the Asian territory.

Foye? sin?

The establishment of equity is a sign of the start of a chamber of commerce. Shi Chaosheng made a lot of money, not only received the sincerity of peace from Lorraine, but also unexpectedly received the promise of the Drake Chamber of Commerce to share wealth.

Then it was Danmin's turn to pay.

It is a long-term cooperation between the two parties to maintain the trade security of the Drake Chamber of Commerce in the South China Sea, and to expand to the entire Southeast Asia and the East China Sea (Japan, North Korea) as the Chamber of Commerce advances.

In the short term,

Dan people have three things to do.

First, clarify the composition of the Danjia shareholder group. Shi Chaosheng said that this matter will basically be resolved in the Dan family ancestral hall, the family of the fourth master will take most of it, and the remaining small part will be reserved for the newly raised Baizi Liangqi and several other outstanding young people of the Dan family .

Second, clarify the candidates for offshore transshipment admirals. Out of the simple desire to find support for his son-in-law, Shi Chaosheng has already named his second son Shi Zhanjiao in his own handwriting, but other outstanding young people are not impossible. The opinion of the ancestral hall is the key, and even if Shi Zhanjiao wins the election, Nor is there no possibility of replacement.

The third is the 50 offshore merchant ships promised to the Drake Chamber of Commerce. Lorraine has very high requirements for the ship. It requires the ship to be under 10 years old, have no serious hidden dangers, have no criminal record in the Qing Dynasty, and must obtain legal registration, and Eddie will confirm the rights according to law.

The first three requests were handed over to the Tan family for their own screening, and the fourth question had to be handed over to Eddie to solve.

Because the Qing Dynasty did not allow citizens to privately occupy the sea, including fishing boats, none of the civilian ships could obtain legal status in the Qing Dynasty.

There are a small number of "government boats" registered in Xiguan Thirteen Lines of Guangzhou Prefecture, but the right to increase or decrease their boats belongs to the government. Even if Shi Chaosheng has some face in Guangzhao Luodao, he cannot transfer the official boats to foreign businessmen. weird thing.

After the discussion, Shi Chaosheng filled more than 40 sheets of letter paper with these trivial matters including Shi Xianggu's marriage in Miami, sealed the secret traces, sealing lacquer, accompanied by tokens and messengers, and prepared to set off with the second formation that arrived. Voyage to Asia.

The second formation is doomed not to enjoy the Christmas holiday. Even if Wang Ye and Shi Chaosheng leave the Erickson, it will take at least three months for them to reach Mumbai.

The route around South America and across the Pacific can save about a month, but the Drake Chamber of Commerce does not have a navigator who is familiar with this route. If the risk is assessed, the price/performance ratio is still far lower than the honest circumnavigation.

...

November 21, Miami Beach.

Lorraine, Carmen, Wang Ye, Shi Chaosheng, Pierce and the soon-to-be-married Shi Xianggu came to Drake's exclusive No. 7 pier to practice for the second formation.

After this departure, the second formation will officially take off the label of the direct fleet and become the ocean-going fleet of the Asian branch.

The number of the second formation has been decided to be inherited by Pierce's special service formation. Generally speaking, Frann is very happy, but Pierce is not too happy.

As the fleet left the port, Shi Chaosheng couldn't help sighing as he watched the mast go south to Hainan.

"If you talk about the battle of hundreds of ships, the spirit of the Western Ship is far less than that of the Fuchuan. The Mazu, the flag ship of the Black Banner Gang, has a total of ten and three masts. Only one ship has four or five masts as the Western Ship. It is more than ten ships. When we went overseas together, all eyes were full of towering masts like forests, how majestic!"

Lorraine smiled reservedly: "The Chinese multi-masted style is not so much a feature as a helplessness. After all, a hard sail is not as strong as a soft sail, and the size of the sail is limited by the heavy sail. If the mast If the number does not increase, the wind may not be able to blow the blessing boat."

"That's true..." Shi Chaosheng shook his head depressedly, "A few days ago, my son-in-law took me to this beach wharf for a tour, and when I knew that there are hundreds of boats and thousands of sails here, all of which are based on the face of Master Luo, the old man was determined not to be with you. Thinking about being an enemy."

"But not many of the boats here belong to Drake."

"The old man knows." Shi Chaosheng sighed, "However, my virtuous son-in-law also said that this wharf was prospered by the master Luo."

"The Qing Dynasty can be compared with this place, but Xiguan is the only one! Master Luo can build Xiguan by himself. Why should such people be enemies? Why not be friends?"

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

"Marriage is near." Shi Chaosheng waved his big hand, "Xianggu is lucky to have such a wife!"

Lorraine didn't know whether the blessing that Shi Chaosheng was talking about was Shi Xianggu's blessing or Dan's family's blessing. Anyway, in this era, neither the Eastern nor the Western view of marriage would consider women's wishes too much, which even women themselves agree with.

How should I put it...

Ever since Wang Ye and Shi Xianggu got engaged, the little girl who was so hot that she dared to bite a man's ass disappeared overnight.

The current Shi Xianggu is elegant, dignified and dignified. She always hangs her head and stands behind Wang Ye three steps away, talking occasionally, neither close nor far away.

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

Because they respected each other like guests, they didn't feel close, but alienated, as if there was only the only red line that involved fingers and fingers, and even the one standing in the middle of the red line was not a matchmaker...it was a cliff.

Is this what the king also wants?

Lorraine didn't ask.

Wang also took Shi Chaosheng and Shi Xianggu away. The wedding was approaching, and they had many things to do in Miami, where Chinese etiquette had no foundation. Their schedules were very tight, and they seemed to never finish.

When they were far away, Carmen stood beside Lorraine silently: "Are you worried about the king?"

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

"He grew up in the Qing Dynasty, and he is a pure Qing person from the inside out." Carmen retorted bluntly, "If it weren't for this, he wouldn't accept this marriage at all, and he wouldn't care about Madam when he hesitated. age."

Lorraine froze for a moment: "It seems... that's really the case..."

Carmen smiled arrogantly, and shook her fan to cover her pretty face.

"My dull captain, I think that instead of worrying about the love of an unreasonable Qing, you should try to look back and look for the strangeness that is close at hand."

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

This strange use is really very strange, with a bit of anger, I can't explain it clearly.

Lorraine stared closely at Carmen's eyes, so close that Carmen's face flushed. If there is no fan in the middle, the two mouths may kiss together at any time.

"What... are you looking at?" Carmen thought to herself, what kind of fan am I doing if I have nothing to do!

"It was you who suggested me, look for the strange things around you."

"No...not me!" Carmen took a step back, snapped away the Suzhou embroidered silver bone fan worth more than a hundred pounds, and handed it to a passing immigrant, "I mean Pierce."

"Pierce?"

Lorraine wanted to ask again, but Carmen happened to be entangled by the subordinates of the Port Authority. He was busy explaining certain policies of Miami immigration, and it seemed that he had no time to answer him for the time being.

He can only go to Pierce to find problems.

"Little Pierce?"

"ha?"

"Speaking of which, you seem to be always by my side recently..."

"Eh?" Pierce was very flustered, very panicked, "That... Uncle Shi was brought by me, I have an obligation to..."

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

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

"Really? Then what were Uncle Shi and I talking about just now?"

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

"Haha! It's a pity, guess..." Lorraine's words froze in mid-air, as did his smiling face and tongue, "Wait, what did you just say?"

"I!" Pierce said loudly, "Maybe I'm getting married..." His voice became super soft again.

The ultra-quiet declaration was mixed in the buzzing air of Miami Beach and reached Lorraine's ears, without missing a word.

Lorraine reacted for a long time, first translated into Chinese in his mind, then converted into pinyin, and returned to English in the form of phonetic symbols.

“Yougettingmarried?”
