"This way, it will truly be beneficial for our development!"
"Oh, I see..."
Ouyang Yu nodded and said, "I'm starting to understand your true intentions now!"
"We developed in the Kaiya Kingdom before, driving the Kaiya Kingdom's economic growth!"
"The Senluo Kingdom was envious, so they decided to offer a higher price to attract us to invest there!"
"Without the Senluo Kingdom's involvement, the Kaiya Kingdom wouldn't have taken us seriously at all!"
"Now that there's a competitor, they won't dare to look down on us anymore!"
"That's right!"
Liu Kai Xuan nodded and smiled, "Xiao Yu, your insight is quite extraordinary now!"
"However, we still need to be vigilant when dealing with this person, Kaiya Dun!"
Ouyang Yu asked, "I actually feel that Kaiya Dun is just a paper tiger!"
"The more we fear him, the more ferocious he becomes!"
"Hahaha..."
Liu Kai Xuan smiled and replied, "Xiao Yu, I'm very happy that you can see through these issues!"
"Moving forward, the development of our company will mainly rely on you to operate!"
"I hope you can always maintain a wise mindset to deal with the crises that may arise at any time!"
"A person like Kaiya Dun is someone we cannot avoid!"
"How to deal with such a person is very important for our future development!"
...
This guy, Bald Wolf, had suffered significant losses at Liu Kai Xuan's hands multiple times.
He entered a dormant state again, and Bald Wolf had already started planning to switch professions.
The pirate profession actually had little development potential.
Liu Kai Xuan's influence was growing, and the armed forces patrolling the sea were becoming increasingly formidable!
Besides the drones flying everywhere, Liu Kai Xuan had also refitted a large number of armed patrol boats.
There were patrols almost around the clock along the entire gulf shipping route.
Even if Bald Wolf could manage to get by through cunning tricks, he had to be constantly on edge.
Because Liu Kai Xuan's retaliatory strikes could descend at any moment.
During aerial attacks, even he, the pirate leader, could face the possibility of losing his life at any time.
With this mindset, Bald Wolf secretly contacted Liu Kai Xuan.
Bald Wolf hoped that Liu Kai Xuan would incorporate his pirate crew, granting them a certain degree of autonomy.
From then on, Bald Wolf and his men would only rob ships of other factions at sea, and would absolutely not touch Liu Kai Xuan's company ships.
This way, on one hand, it would allow Bald Wolf to preserve his livelihood.
On the other hand, the activities of Bald Wolf and the other pirates could serve to strike at rivals.
Only Liu Kai Xuan's company ships could pass through the gulf safely.
Ships from other factions would have to pay protection fees upon arrival.
All sorts of transport ships, in order to protect themselves, could only join Liu Kai Xuan's company's operations.
Liu Kai Xuan could then take this opportunity to increase the company's management fees and make a fortune.
It must be admitted that the cooperation plan proposed by Bald Wolf did have some merit.
If developed according to Bald Wolf's model, it could indeed bring huge profits to Liu Kai Xuan's company in the short term.
However, from a long-term perspective, such a development model was merely drinking poison to quench thirst!
The rapid rise of pirate forces would ultimately only lead to one consequence:
The hard-won economic ecosystem would be destroyed, and the gulf area would be once again shrouded in darkness.
Monopolistic development where one entity dominates was not what Liu Kai Xuan wanted.
Diversified development was the foundation of prosperity.
Liu Kai Xuan did not agree to Bald Wolf's plan, but he did provide Bald Wolf with a way out.
As long as Bald Wolf was willing to sincerely surrender, he would be granted the greatest leniency, with only a symbolic detention of a few days to provide an explanation to the public.
At the same time, Bald Wolf could retain a platoon of men, but he would absolutely not be allowed to plunder merchant ships anymore.
Bald Wolf and his subordinates would have to pledge loyalty to Liu Kai Xuan and obey orders in all future actions.
This was the minimum cooperation standard offered by Liu Kai Xuan. If Bald Wolf still wanted to bargain, then there was nothing to discuss.
This news was quickly conveyed to Bald Wolf through a messenger.
The conditions offered by Liu Kai Xuan made Bald Wolf very angry.
The gap between this standard and what Bald Wolf requested was not that large.
Bald Wolf could compress his numbers and only keep a platoon of standing personnel.
At the same time, Bald Wolf could also join Liu Kai Xuan's ranks and act according to orders.
However, Liu Kai Xuan's demand that Bald Wolf stop plundering supplies was something Bald Wolf found difficult to accept.
If they couldn't plunder merchant ships at sea, how would Bald Wolf and his brothers make a living?
Relying on the military pay Liu Kai Xuan gave them was simply not enough.
The pirate world was structured like a pyramid.
Only powerful individuals could climb to the upper echelons; ordinary people, even if they joined a pirate gang, could only be low-level thugs.
If Bald Wolf were to reduce his numbers and keep only a very small contingent, those who remained would only be the elites.
Elite pirates already held a relatively good status within pirate gangs and lived quite comfortably.
After entering Liu Kai Xuan's military camp, they would have to live a difficult life.
Even Bald Wolf himself would find it hard to bear, let alone his brothers.
...
Bald Wolf had no choice but to write another letter to Liu Kai Xuan to discuss the matter.
Unfortunately, Liu Kai Xuan was no longer in the mood to deal with Bald Wolf at this time.
Liu Kai Xuan was now busily engaged in developing his own development zone.
The development zone established by the Senluo Kingdom was quite large.
Liu Kai Xuan intended to build it into a commercial complex, a core business district for global logistics.
Besides requiring massive capital investment, it also needed forward-thinking planning capabilities.
The standards for a livable city must include bustling commercial streets, genuine residential areas, as well as ample green spaces and public facilities.
To make the commercial district more vibrant and colorful,
Liu Kai Xuan specifically hired top designers from around the world to join the design and planning work.
Days passed, and after nearly another month, Bald Wolf finally made up his mind to pledge allegiance to Liu Kai Xuan!
In fact, for pirates, surrender was not a shameful thing.
The rules of the pirate world were: the strong preyed on the weak, and the powerful were respected!
Liu Kai Xuan and the pirates had been in conflict for a long time.
During this period, Liu Kai Xuan had disciplined the pirates like a grandfather punishing his grandson, leaving the pirates with no will to fight.
Bald Wolf was truly convinced by Liu Kai Xuan!
