Shipgirls and Salted Fish Commander, Port Survival Guide

Of course, each problem should be analyzed specifically.

And, to retort, "I've been so sincere, how can you not acknowledge me? You don't love me!"

"How can that be the same?" Jing Su quickly hugged Binjiang and gave her a hard squeeze on her firm bridge, which made Binjiang roll her eyes at Jing Su. However, Binjiang was obviously very happy with Jing Su's actions.

"Oh, then Commander, tell me, what's different?" Feeling Jing Su's burning hot body, Binjiang adjusted his body a few times to make Jing Su's massage more comfortable and to allow himself to enjoy it more.

“That brings us to the meaning of uniforms. Binjiang, you were wearing a swimsuit just now. Swimsuits are meant to show off your figure. Plus, there were no other men on the beach, so of course I could look at you openly—no, I mean admire you.” Jing Su said sincerely, marveling at how great the feel of Binjiang’s bridge was.

It truly came from the bottom of his heart, unlike the casual conversation earlier. What Jing Su said just now was exactly what he thought.

"Haha, is that so? What about my clothes now?" Whether she agreed with Jing Su's explanation or felt very comfortable being massaged by Jing Su, Binjiang had a happy expression on her face.

"Binjiang, you're wearing a business suit right now. In those online videos, you'd look like a perfectly capable female employee, the president's personal secretary. Think about it, a personal secretary is definitely the most important and intimate person by the big boss's side."

Binjiang, do you think such an important place can be easily seen by others?

Anyway, I don't think it will work.

"My lovely little secretary, only I can see this~" Jing Su said seriously. At the same time, she increased the pressure on her hand. It has to be said that this feeling of answering seriously while making gestures is exceptionally calming. At least it calmed Jing Su down now.

"Haha, Commander, looks like you've grown quite a bit~ You've become so good at talking, haven't you? Looks like you've been charming quite a few little girls." Binjiang glanced at Jing Su sideways, making Jing Su think she was doomed, but Binjiang quickly changed the subject, "However, I like hearing what you said~"

Commander, if you care about the buttons, could you button them up for me?

The premise is, if you're willing to spend the money.

'Hey!'

That little expression, that nonchalant tone.

Jing Su said, "This is outrageous! Are you so sure I wouldn't be willing to button your clothes up?"

Ah!

I really can't bear to part with it.

The bouncy, smooth texture and the fair, pinkish skin—who wouldn't be mesmerized?

Anyway, Jing Su really couldn't bear to let go.

It's soft, smooth, and feels amazing.

Not only does squeezing it relieve stress, but combined with the warmth of Binjiang River, Jing Su truly felt like she was playing with clay, and once she got hooked, she couldn't put it down.

As the one who experiences it most directly, Binjiang certainly wouldn't refuse Jingsu's actions, because even when Jingsu is having a great time, her movements are very gentle, or to put it more directly, Binjiang also feels very comfortable.

Why let things stop when Jing Su is happy and I am comfortable?

It could even be said that as Jing Su made his move, Binjiang's pretty face gradually turned red. He was so excited that for a moment, Binjiang really wanted to do it for Jing Su right there and then. In broad daylight, so be it; his own happiness was the most important thing.

However, he managed to endure it in the end. After several trials, although he had become accustomed to the taste and found it difficult to resist, he was not to the point of losing control.

"Oh, right." This can't go on forever. Jing Su started having fun, and Bin Jiang was wondering who would suppress his desire. So, just as he was about to reach his climax, Bin Jiang swayed a few times, broke free, and handed Jing Su a black card. "Commander, this is for you."

"Uh, what's this?" Jing Su subconsciously took the card Binjiang handed her and suddenly felt that this scene was so familiar.

"Haha, it's just a bank card, Commander. If you see something you like, just buy it. See this card? Spend it freely." Binjiang was very smug, sensing Jing Su's bewildered expression.

"Ah..." Jing Su was sweating profusely. Why did these ship girls like to stuff bank cards into his hand so much?

First there was Glorious Avant-garde, but now with White Eagle, is Binjiang even going so far as to not put on an act?

Although the feeling of being kept is subtle, well, how should I put it, do I have a bit too many cards on hand?

To this day, Jing Su himself has forgotten how many bank cards he has. To be honest, he doesn't think it's necessary to have these things. It's not that he doesn't care about money, but he simply doesn't have the opportunity to use them.

When Jing Su was at the camp's base, he didn't have to spend any money on food or drink. If he saw something he liked, he didn't even need to say anything. In extreme cases, a single glance would be enough for a little yellow chick to bring it over.

When he wanders around non-factional bases, the ship girls are afraid that he will suddenly disappear again. Now, wherever Jing Su goes, there is at least one ship girl following him. With a ship girl following him, even if Jing Su wants to buy something and spend money, the ship girl following him will not allow it.

Having been in this world for so long, Jing Su tried hard to recall, and it seemed that on the way to the Royal Camp, she had passed through a commercial street and bought some snacks for Changchun in that area.

Even though it wasn't her own money that was spent, it was a card given to her by Yi Xian, although Jing Su still hasn't returned the card.

Including Yixian's card, Jingsu now has at least four bank cards on hand.

"Hey, wait, are all of you this rich?"

"Hmm? What's wrong? Don't you like this style? I'll get you a different one later." Seeing Jing Su staring at the bank card in her hand, lost in thought, Bin Jiang assumed that Jing Su didn't like the design of the card and secretly felt annoyed.

'How careless of me! I was so focused on giving the Commander the money that I forgot to mention the cards come in different designs. I forgot to ask him which style he preferred. Ugh, I was even expecting a look of surprise on his face.'

"Ahem, no, that's not it." Sensing the disappointment in Binjiang's tone, Jingsu quickly comforted him. After all, the other party had given him a benefit, so he couldn't be ungrateful. However, given the current situation, a question could no longer be suppressed in Jingsu's mind: "Speaking of which, Binjiang, how do we in the port area make a living on a daily basis?"

We can't just rely on fighting the Sirens, can we?

Jing Su wanted to ask, how come our port area is so rich?

If, back when she was in the Royal Navy, the ship girls would occasionally give her a card, along with promises of secret bases and luxurious villas, Jing Su could use the Maritime Bureau as a way to brush them off.

But now, it's not a bank card issue anymore. Jing Su didn't realize it at first, and only after Bin Jiang handed her a card did she belatedly realize what was happening.

Good grief, didn't my ship girl just say she bought me a legendary ship?

Such a huge cruise ship, a behemoth of the sea, can money buy that?

Even those with power might not be able to buy it, right?

Therefore, Jing Su sensed something unusual behind this incident.

It's the same problem I've mentioned before: even though I've elevated the status of the port area as much as possible, it seems I've still deeply underestimated its influence.

This isn't even the entire port area, but a single faction.

Jing Su was very familiar with the Eastern Empire's base. It was the first place she stayed after arriving in this world. It was ancient and had a very old-fashioned feel. There was absolutely no indication that the Eastern Empire was wealthy. She also didn't see any ship girls doing any money-making jobs on the island.

In addition, when Jing Su first transmigrated here, he heard Yi Xian say that after he disappeared, the port area was in a very difficult situation. After the port area split, each faction, under the leadership of its leader, spent a lot of effort to turn the resource deficit into a profit.

With these things combined, Jing Su once thought that the port area was still in a state of balance between income and expenditure, and was even thinking about whether to do something to generate some income for the port area.

As a result, the ship girls repeatedly surprised him.

"Ahem, this?" Upon hearing Jing Su's question, Binjiang was unusually embarrassed and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Is there a problem?" Jing Su noticed something amiss.

"Well, the port area is actually quite wealthy right now. We've just settled down and we've already started addressing the resource issue. Didn't Yixian tell you?" Binjiang asked, his eyes darting around.

"Hey, isn't that the trick I used to comfort you earlier? The boomerang hit me so fast!"

"What kind of business can grow this big?" Jing Su complained. Even a monopoly wouldn't be praised like this.

"Haha, after the summer offensive is over, I'll take you, Commander, to visit our factory. You'll see what it's like when we get there."

It's a perfectly legal business!

Chapter 257 There's a chance to continue

With Jing Su missing and the port area divided, each faction, led by its leader or an influential ship girl, sought out an area to solve their resource problems.

The so-called resource issue is, in essence, a strength issue, and what Hong Kong has in abundance is strength.

With Hong Kong's unparalleled technology, once it gets through the initial chaos, isn't it only natural that it will experience rapid development?

This is Binjiang's answer, and it's clear that she genuinely believes it.

However, Jing Su discerned the implied meaning in those few words, or rather, she discovered a clue.

"So, the Maritime Safety Administration didn't stop our development?"

"The Maritime Safety Administration?" Binjiang raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "What are they going to do with the Maritime Safety Administration? If it weren't for us holding the line on the front lines, this world would have been destroyed by the Sirens long ago. Besides, do you think those good-for-nothings at the Maritime Safety Administration would dare to stop them?"

We don't absolutely need their help. Perhaps at the beginning, when we were short-handed, we did need them to send some workers, but now that the chicken production in the port area has started in the mornings, it makes no difference whether they're here or not.

"Oh, so in terms of policy, the Maritime Safety Administration hasn't really put up any obstacles, right?" Jing Su nodded, having gained a basic understanding of the port area's development.

The reason why each faction can take off and make big money is nothing more than two things: official support and the overwhelming technological advantage of the port area.

Simply put, any company that receives full policy support from above, possesses excellent technology, and has labor costs approaching zero can take off even if its management is a dog.

Through his wristwatch, Jing Su got a general idea of ​​one of the Donghuang camp's publicly known industries—a furniture factory.

Jing Su initially thought this was just a small company, something a ship girl had created for fun. After seeing it, Jing Su realized he was too naive!

From raw material acquisition to finished product manufacturing and sales, the Donghuang group handles the entire trade process in one go. This business model allows Donghuang's furniture factories to produce products with guaranteed quality and quantity while keeping costs extremely low, even achieving a selling price lower than the cost price of other manufacturers.

If the official authorities do not intervene, over time, such enterprises could easily develop into a monopoly group called a trust. However, according to the intelligence gathered by Jing Su, the Maritime Bureau did not interfere with the furniture factories of the Donghuang camp. On the contrary, it provided strong support.

Currently, furniture produced by furniture factories in the Donghuang camp occupies more than 90% of the market share. Once-glorious furniture companies have either been acquired or acquired by Donghuang, while small workshops are powerless to compete with such a behemoth.

This is just one of the companies that the Donghuang camp publicly operates; there are many more experts operating behind the scenes.

It's just that it wasn't reported. According to Binjiang, only those with a market share of less than 95% will be released. After much effort, Donghuang's camp realized that only furniture factories could be released. In other industries, they could be said to have absolute control, or even 100% market share, all of which were under Donghuang's control.

Upon hearing this news, Jing Su's mind was buzzing. It turned out that all the girls who seemed so beautiful and angelic were actually black lotuses in private, completely wicked!

Jing Su originally thought that what Bin Jiang and the others said meant that after the port area split, each faction, under the leadership of its leader, would find a resource island, build a new home, and develop it little by little, like in a simulation management game.

What I didn't expect was that while it was indeed business, it turned into a trust!

Each faction develops in several directions, starting with a cartel and eventually reaching a trust.

Monopolies are no joke. In any industry, once a monopoly is formed, the profits are terrifyingly high and beyond human comprehension. It can be said that in the current port area, even without considering the ship girls' incredible combat power, the economy alone can disrupt the entire political arena in no time.

"You guys are doing this and the Maritime Safety Administration isn't interfering at all? They're completely out of their minds~" After turning off the wrist-worn computer, Jing Su briefly processed the information she had just learned and made a few complaints.

"Ha, interference? Commander, what are you saying? Almost 80% of the Maritime Safety Administration's operating expenses come from our port area. How dare they interfere?"

Haha, the more we earn, the more the Maritime Safety Administration can take. Why would they interfere?

"In fact, with us watching over them, those companies are at least more likely to treat the people better. If those scoundrels at the Maritime Safety Administration were to mess things up, who knows what would happen?" Binjiang stood next to Jing Su, bending over to stretch and showing off his physique, while responding to Jing Su's complaint.

"That's true~" Jing Su nodded, then realized something very strange, "The Maritime Safety Administration's operating expenses were actually provided by us?"

Although not all of them, 80% of them come from the port area, which means that the port area can almost directly control the Maritime Safety Administration.

"Yeah~ Originally, the deal was that we would provide everything, but a few family members at the Maritime Safety Administration disagreed. After all the wrangling, it ended up being 80%." Binjiang recalled the scene and said with a smile.

Only then did Jing Su realize the true extent of the danger that humanity had faced at that time.

There's a saying that the world is a large makeshift operation, and that's especially true for this world.

In response to the Sirens' invasion, countries around the world united to establish a maritime bureau to defend against the Sirens.

Initially, the Maritime Safety Administration was just a military organization used to command armies across the country, somewhat similar in nature to the United Nations forces or the Eighteen Routes that opposed Dong Zhuo.

At that time, the Maritime Safety Administration was only a nominal organization. Although the countries appeared to be united, they were still bickering and quarreling in private. They acted the same way they usually did, but at this time, they just had a place where they could argue. After arguing for a while, they could usually come to a conclusion.

Later, as the war progressed, the Maritime Bureau gradually gained status, but with the rise in status came the problem of money.

As mentioned earlier, the Maritime Safety Administration was initially a place where people would argue, and it didn't really need much money. So at first, no one cared about funding. Back then, the Maritime Safety Administration's operating funds came from donations from various countries. At its worst, when the chairs in the meeting room broke, they didn't even have the money to replace them with new ones.

When the Maritime Safety Administration finally had the money and started asking everyone for more, they were met with a firm refusal. To put it bluntly, everyone wanted to take advantage, but no one wanted to suffer a loss.

At this time, the ship girls came to us, saying that they could help with money, but they didn't want to get involved in power. They could even help the Maritime Bureau gain a greater position, but in return, the ship girls needed the Maritime Bureau to help them find Jing Su after they took off.

Yes, the Maritime Bureau's current superior status was actually acquired after the ship girls entered the fray.

Even though the Maritime Bureau's status improved as the battle progressed, in the eyes of political figures from various countries, it was still just a weakling that could be ignored. But somehow, it gained the support of ship girls and suddenly took off.

However, after taking off from the Maritime Bureau, the ship girls hid themselves very well. Their goal was to find Jing Su, and they had no interest in getting involved in the intricacies of the human world.

Therefore, thanks to the hints from the ship girls and the propaganda from the Maritime Bureau, most ordinary people are actually unaware of the relationship between Dawn Port and the Maritime Bureau.

"So, Commander, now you know why the Maritime Bureau doesn't object to us doing business that way, right?"

Binjiang is a shrewd person. As the number two figure in the Donghuang camp, she is very familiar with politics. She was the one who handled the connection between the Donghuang camp and the Maritime Bureau.

However, the ship girls felt that telling Jing Su might make her uncomfortable, so they all chose to keep it a secret. But even if they kept it a secret, they wouldn't stay silent now that Jing Su had asked.

While Jing Su was still in a daze, Binjiang walked behind him, placed her hands on his shoulders, and lowered her body slightly, letting the lower half of her bridge rest on Jing Su's head. She had long wanted to try what it felt like.

Their wish was fulfilled on the spot.

As for feelings...

One word.

Cool!

"Well, I guess so." Jing Su stiffened, wanting to nod, but when she felt the soft warmth above her head, she dared not move.

He was afraid that if he made too much noise, Binjiang would make some strange sounds. If they were in the room, it wouldn't matter. In fact, when Binjiang was lying on the chair and making that charming expression, he turned into a hungry wolf and pounced on her.

It has to be said that among all the ship girls I've interacted with, the time with Hama was the most natural. After all, Hama is truly worthy of being my wife!
