After more than half a month, Odin and Haichao returned to starfish island.

This is the end of winter. You can see from the name of this month that winter is coming to an end.

Compared with the new year''s moon, the frequency of turbulence in the ocean is reduced by more than half, and the sea surface is much calmer, which greatly improves the safety of going out to sea.

In a month and a half, the storm season will be over and the busy shipping season will officially begin.

This also means that in the first half of the year 746, the tide dominates the ocean for only one month.

The main purpose of the fleet''s visit to starfish island this time is to deliver the ordered goods to the partners, including all kinds of goods with a value of 6500 jinnals, as well as magic machinery with a value of 3000 jinnals.

For all kinds of high-efficiency magic power assembly line factories on the Haichao islands, the goods ordered by the red reef chamber of Commerce and the flame starfish chamber of commerce are just drizzle. The production can be completed within 10 days after the factory starts at full speed, so the fleet has transported all the goods at one time.

Evans and Hyde, who received the news, quickly hired a large number of freight wagons to encircle the whole wharf and prepare to accept the goods.

Originally, according to the contract, Haichao chamber of commerce only needs to unload the goods to the wharf, and then the contract is completed. All the subsequent transportation processes are the customer''s own business.

According to the conventional "tradition", the delivery place of the goods should be in the warehouse designated by the customer, and the payment of the remaining payment will be carried out in the warehouse.

What''s the point of leaving you at the dock?

Do you want to do business?

However, Haichao chamber of commerce is so strong that with its unique high-quality goods, after Goodall proposed this "unequal" treaty, Evans and Hyde did not even dare to bargain and (forced) signed the contract.

The two men directly brought another 70% of the payment. Even when the sailors had just begun to unload the goods, they delivered two metal boxes full of jinnals to Goodall.

Under normal circumstances, the supplier will receive the payment only after the goods have been accepted and confirmed that there is no problem. However, Haichao chamber of Commerce has broken the Convention. Goodall has a strong demand that the payment must be delivered on the spot.

If you want to buy the goods of Haichao chamber of Commerce, you have to abide by my rules!

That''s how overbearing it is!

In the next two hours, Evans and Hyde were on the dock, watching the sailors how to operate magic sling and how to lift goods from the sailboat to the dock.

However, they are more interested in magic forklifts. Most of the time, they focus on eight magic forklifts. They watch the forklifts move in and out of the dock, lift up boxes of goods and put them on the freight wagon.

These eight magic forklifts are the magic vehicles ordered by the soon to be established "flame reef transportation company". In order to repay the first customer who ordered magic machinery (unjust big head), Renault decided to send operators (using the customer''s forklift) to load them free of charge.

Evans and Hyde, as well as employees in their respective chambers of Commerce, were the first to watch the operation of the magic machine in such a close distance. The woodlouse saw their faces with admiration and excitement, and greatly satisfied their inner curiosity.

In particular, the large number of civilians around the dock made Evans and Hyde''s face almost rotten.

Obviously, this time the advertisement was too successful.

After meeting Evans and others, Renault went directly to Haichao manor, a manor purchased by Haichao chamber of Commerce on starfish island.

This manor is located in the western suburb of starfish City, with a total area of more than 4 hectares and a distance of less than 2 km from the port. The location is very good, but the price is only 600 jinnals.

The reason why it''s incredibly cheap is that this manor is a murderous house. Not long ago, there was an extremely bloody tragedy here.

This tragedy is the devil''s masterpiece.

The original owner of the manor was an awakened warrior who was loyal to the Earl''s eldest son, Jacques. Under the guidance of Sir Eriksson, the devil raided the manor at night. Five members of the awakened family, together with 13 servants, were rifled, heart dug and brains drained.

This is also the biggest murder committed by the devil in starfish city.

After the tragedy, the manor was inherited and resold by a relative of the awakened person, and finally fell into the hands of Haichao chamber of Commerce, and was renamed "Haichao Manor".

Others are afraid of the devil and have a deep taboo on the house, but Reynolds doesn''t care.

What the devil is?

If he dares to show his face, Renault will definitely beat him into a dead dog, drag him onto the dissecting table, scratch his skin and cramp alive, take off all the internal organs, cut off every muscle and remove every bone.

Carefully study the body structure of the devil to see what is the difference between this mysterious race and human beings.

By the way, let it know who is the real devil!Compared with Renault, the most ferocious devil, this devil is at best a little guy with little harm, and is just a kind of experimental material in the eyes of the "great devil".

Well, it may be a good food.

This is a rare devil

Renault hasn''t tasted it yet. I don''t know how to use it for hot pot

Unfortunately, since Sir Eriksson was murdered, the devil disappeared completely and never appeared again.

During the period when Renault left starfish Island, the sea was calm and there was no more murder. He suspected that the devil might leave the island in some way and go to other parts of the world.

After all, the devil is very likely to be a scouting. How can he perform the duties of a scouting if he stays in one place for a long time?

Following Renault into Haichao manor, there were several freight wagons, each with a big box wrapped tightly.

At this time, the whole Haichao manor has become a huge construction site. The manor is full of people, and dirty masons and apprentices can be seen everywhere.

Half of the interior of the manor has been cleared, shrubs and vegetation have been removed, soil has been excavated in many places, foundations are being built, and building materials such as bricks, stones and boards are piled everywhere.

Renault was strolling around the manor, accompanied by Goodall.

After walking in front of the largest construction site, Goodall said:

"Lord, we plan to build 20 large warehouses in this area, with a total area of more than 20000 square meters. This will become a transit station in the future. Most of the goods transported to the southern Xinghai continent can be stored here..."

"What we are doing now is the first phase of the project. In the next three years, we plan to acquire more land and build more warehouses. Our goal is to have a storage area of 500000 square meters..."

"At present, the progress of the project is relatively slow, and the first phase of the project can be completed in at least three or four months. If the construction team in the territory can be transferred, the construction speed can be greatly accelerated, and it can be completed in one month at most..."

Renault just nodded faintly. He knew that the warehouse of 500000 square meters sounded big, but it was not enough.

There are three human kingdoms in Xinghai continent, with a total population of more than 13 million people. The demand for commodities is huge. If you want to supply a whole continent, how can a mere 500000 square meters of warehouse be enough?

Five million square meters is not enough!

But Renault didn''t say anything. It was the business of the Department of commerce that he didn''t bother to interfere.

If the plan is not detailed, it can be adjusted; if the warehouse is not enough, it can be rebuilt; if Goodall is inexperienced, it can be cultivated slowly; if he has suffered a loss, he will be impressed and grow faster.

Renault is only responsible for the final assessment. If Goodall can''t get on the wall with mud and constant mistakes, he will mercilessly remove Goodall and replace him with a more competent director of the Department of Commerce.

My master believes that "the capable are superior and the mediocre are inferior". The loyal younger brother can get more opportunities and tolerate more mistakes, but this does not mean that he can make unlimited mistakes.

Otherwise, when the Lord, where is this place?

A nursing home or a nursery?

Renault interrupted Goodall and asked:

"how''s the auction going?"

Goodall was stunned. He was acutely aware that the Lord seemed not very satisfied with his performance. He bent down slightly, his face became more humble, and carefully replied:

"Lord, the invitation has been sent to all the nobles and major chambers of Commerce on the island, and most of them said they would participate in the auction..."

"The temporary rented theater has been redecorated, and the service personnel participating in the auction have gone through the background investigation to ensure that no ulterior motives will be mixed in. We have also rehearsed twice in advance..."

Speaking of this, Goodall gritted his teeth and said firmly:

"the Department of Commerce will make every effort to ensure that there will not be any problems in this auction!"

Renault turned to Goodall and nodded with satisfaction, with a smile on his face.

Goodall couldn''t help breathing a sigh of relief.

He sighed in secret that the Lord''s power is getting more and more powerful day by day. A casual expression can bring a lot of pressure to himself, even his vest is cold and sweaty.

Goodall was also ruthless. He would call all the staff of the Department of Commerce to sort out all the items of the auction twice from the beginning to the end. Any details should be considered repeatedly and no mistakes should be allowed.

From now on, until the end of the auction, employees of the Department of commerce must work from 6 a.m. to 12 p.m.

This auction can only succeed, but not fail. If anyone dares to drop the chain, he will deal with this guy before pleading guilty to the Lord himself.
