Chapter 294 Provision of territory
"Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa."
Not long after, a familiar evil smile rang out from the door of the palace.
Doflamingo still wore the familiar pink feather coat, walked into the palace with his hands in his pockets and walked arrogantly.
"Long time no see, Sage, I thought you would forget about me after you got the territory, baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
"Hahahahaha, are you such a fragile person?"
Sage laughed loudly, waved his hand and said, "Let's have a banquet!"
As he said that, he glanced at Doflamingo, "Are you the only one?"
"Hey, I brought some sailing men, but it's not important. My kingdom is also very busy."
Doflamingo said, looking around the hall.
After Hawkins' redesign, the originally dark palace now glowed. According to Sage's favorite characteristics, the palace gates were made of gold and silver mixed with intricate carvings.
As for the interior, the spacious and tall hall first has a gorgeous carpet that leads from the door to the bottom of the throne. The walls on both sides are entirely covered with gold foil, and the tapestries above depict some colorful scenes.
Below the tapestry are sculptures made of gold and precious stones, some with weapons hanging from their hands.
Doflamingo took a casual look and found that these weapons seemed to be pretty good, and one of them also had a blade that looked like a soft whip.
"These weapons were all collected. I think the finished products are good. It would be a pity to just throw them away. I might as well use them to watch."
Sarger chuckled, stood up from the golden velvet throne that had been moved here from the captain, and said to Lily beside him: "I have people entertaining so many of Dover's subordinates. Coming to my place will definitely not be better than in Dressrosa." Worse."
"Hey, I'm not here for a visit. Don't you have something to do with me?" Doflamingo said with a smile.
"Let's talk while we eat. Let me show you my current territory!"
Sag laughed and led Doflamingo to the banquet hall.
The original restaurant has also been redesigned. A huge door occupies one of the walls. When opened, you can see a huge courtyard. There is a huge fountain in the courtyard, surrounded by exotic flowers and plants, and in the center of the flower bed. Patterns were pieced together using precious stones.
From here, one can even see through the courtyard to the huge city below.
This was prepared for a big banquet.
In the banquet hall, there is a magnificent giant chandelier full of gems in the center. A crystal bead curtain hangs under the chandelier, shining brightly and lighting up the entire banquet hall.
Under the chandelier, there is a huge long table with carved gold edges that occupies the door on the wall. The tableware is made of gold-rimmed enamel bone china tableware.
B'Elanna had been waiting here for a long time. When she saw the two coming, she picked up the wine bottle and poured a glass for Sag first, and then poured wine for Doflamingo.
"Napa"
Doflamingo picked up the wine glass, smelled it first, then took a sip, and said with a smile: "It's still twenty years old. An ordinary bottle of 700,000 Baileys, but two million for ten years. Those that are more than 20 years old are almost extinct on the sea. If they are auctioned, they should be worth tens of millions of dollars. "
Sage bared his teeth and said: "A pirate happened to rob a group of black marketeers under my command and bought them. There were a total of twelve bottles, which cost more than 10 million beli. I bought them conveniently."
"Buy? Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, but you're weird, Sag. But this is your territory. You can do whatever you want. Pirates are such creatures."
Doflamingo smiled and said, "But, is this how your money is spent?"
The 20 billion beli placed in his place, which Doflamingo dragged Umit through two months ago, all came over, plus a year's interest of 40%, the total was 28 billion beli.
Of course, it wasn't pure cash, because what Sag wanted was a large amount of gold and jewelry, which he got as equivalent.
"Money is used in exchange for equivalent things. Don't you think it's pleasing to the eye? This is my territory. Of course I have to spend money to dress up."
Sage opened his hand and said, "If you keep it and don't spend it, it's just waste paper."
Designing a palace would cost a lot of money. The gold obtained through robbery would definitely not be that much, so it would have to be purchased through other channels.
The gold that the pirates here robbed also needed to be bought by Sage, as he said himself, it would give people the opportunity to make money.
After going through the black market merchants, Sage bought it at a low price, so that everyone could make money, and Sager could collect a tax along the way.
In addition, the necessities for rebuilding the city also cost money, because this is his territory, and of course he pays for the materials himself.
When building a site, you will definitely lose money in the early stage, but what you get in exchange is a prosperous site, and it won't take long for the tax revenue to be paid back.
After all, no matter how much you mess with it, the meat will rot in the pot and it all belongs to him.
In addition, the tax revenue generated in the middle is just a left-hand reversal, but this reversal will make this place more prosperous.
Not long after, Marika and the chef pushed the dining cart and served dishes to the table one by one.
"Dressrosa has three specialties, Dressrosa Seafood Risotto, Rose Squid Ink Pasta, and Fairy Pumpkin Cold Soup. I also have some specialties here, Marika, let me introduce them." Sage said with a smile. Marika nodded with a smile, pointed at a piece of venison and said:
"Gareth's grilled venison steak is made from deer that live in the mountains and forests of Gareth on the main island. It is made with local peppers, green onions and ginger, marinated in old wine, grilled, and seasoned. Yes, this approach is also good for the body.”
"This thing nourishes the kidneys!" Sage said concisely.
“Pheasant stewed with Armillaria mushrooms.”
Marika pointed to another dish and said: "It comes from Timaton on Fujima Island. The local pheasant is like a phoenix. The meat is very good. The fungi that grow in the mountains and forests of the main island make the dishes very delicious."
"This thing can replenish a weak body!" Sage added again.
"Vacano donuts are made from flour ground from local wheat. They have a unique fragrance and taste even better when baked. They are then sprinkled with simple frosting to make them delicious."
"Flower Pearl Chestnut Soup. Locally produced chestnuts are like pearls and are very nutritious. Just use flowers as the condiment. The fragrance of the petals will be there."
"The beef curry in coconut milk is made from specialty products, especially coconut, which is considered a treasure. The spices in the curry are also pretty good."
Marika smiled and introduced a total of seven or eight dishes before stopping.
There are a total of one hundred and eighty-eight dishes served, a dazzling array of dishes, and all the ingredients used are rare, but there are only so many that are highlighted.
Doflamingo is a smart man, he can understand what it means.
Halfway through the introduction, he got it.
Sager is using food to show how much territory he has acquired, and at the same time, it is also telling people how he uses those territories.
So much land to support him alone
"Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, I'm so envious of you, and these pearl chestnuts."
Doflamingo looked at the bowl of chestnut soup in front of him and said with a smile: "This ingredient is very famous. I remember it is a local specialty of 'Stittfield'. That island is yours Found it?"
Ingredients are nothing.
The reason why Doflamingo knows about that island is because there are extremely rich iron ore deposits under the island.
Doflamingo has a large arms trade, and is also very sensitive to some islands with iron ore, but he knows the name but not the location, and the important thing is
"That's where the World Government is, Sage, did you take it?"
The power of the World Government is not only at the entrance to the New World, but also has territory in the depths. But comparing the Paradise and the Four Seas, their power here is very scattered, so it seems like there is no difference.
"I just got it last month."
Sager said: "I am planning to build ships and weapons, but I am short of a lot of iron. The price of the iron brought by the merchants is too high, and the quantity is not enough at all. I just got the news, and coincidentally I am adding It's near Reis, so I have no reason not to get it.”
Behind each of these introduced ingredients, there is an island and a new territory.
Since the example of Andre, some guys nearby have taken the initiative to report their coordinates. Some of the nearby ones are of course taken under Sager's command.
If it is rich in spices, it is also rich in a lot of good wood.
Some carnivores are also rich in stones.
Stones are worthless, of course, because there are a lot of mountains locally. Although the main island of Gareth also has mountains, there are other places that can be developed, and Sag does not want to use Gareth as the core territory for development.
"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, do you mean you're ready?" Doflamingo said with a smile.
"Yes."
It was not Sag who spoke, but Lily who rushed over. She took out a gem with colors like the rainbow and placed it in front of Doflamingo's desk.
"The main thing is to see this."
"Rainbow gem? I've always heard you talk about it, but I didn't expect it to be actually made."
Doflamingo didn't pick it up, he just glanced at it and said, "Is it just this?"
"Let's talk about this first."
Sager said: "In terms of raw materials alone, each one costs 50,000 Baileys, not counting my labor. How much will it be when it is officially put into production?"
"A factory with at least 500 people can produce 200 pills in a month." Lily said.
"Yes, let's set a price for this thing. It is a gem after all. If it is sold to those idiot nobles, it should be worth a lot of money. You should know the price better than me. I will give you a 20% profit on this. Of course, you If you can do it and get the nobles to endorse it as something like Pele, I'll be even with you!”
Sage waved his hand proudly.
Selling it is one thing, but if this rainbow gem that he can hold in his hands can be turned into something that can be circulated like Bailey, the value will be huge!
Money is just used to harvest a large amount of materials.
