A week later, the business talks with the Kalsemmen Empire worth more than 70 billion Lien finally came to an end. The long tit-for-tat negotiations made the staff of the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce feel physically and mentally exhausted under the high tension. However, once the negotiations were over, they relaxed. An unprecedented sense of accomplishment and excitement suddenly enveloped everyone's hearts.
This is a transaction worthy of being recorded in history!
Although it may take four or five years to complete the more than 70 billion Lien, the profit earned by the Chamber of Commerce from this cooperation with the Kalsem Empire may reach tens of billions, and it is not ruled out that Kalsem The Gate Empire may have follow-up investments in the later stages. It can be said that once this deal is made public, it will definitely shake up the entire Free City, and it will also make the reputation of the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce on par with the three giants. As the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce who completed this transaction Long Closide will also be able to gain a greater advantage in the upcoming Chamber of Commerce chairman election.
But it is a pity that this transaction will have to be kept secret for at least a long time. Both the Kalthem Empire and the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce need to keep it secret, otherwise the news of more than 70 billion Lien will be enough to make the three giants in the Free City The two of them went berserk, and people will do some irrational things once they lose their minds, not to mention it is during the special period of the upcoming Chamber of Commerce Chairman election.
"Congratulations to President Closide, we succeeded in this negotiation." Emma, ??who had sorted out the documents while the distinguished guests were resting, also said in a relaxed tone.
"It's the vice-president!" Closide corrected him: "Although the agreement has been signed, the next step is the real beginning. There are still many things to do in the future."
Emma smiled and said, unable to suppress the excitement and sense of accomplishment in her heart: "At least we can relax for a while, right?"
Closide was silent for a moment, and then nodded with a smile. He should really relax. Whether it was negotiations or other trivial matters, it was confirmed that he was too preoccupied.
After a week of negotiations, Croside found that he was indeed too worried, or that the goddess Ishtar didn't seem to have the idea of ????taking action against him. Although the vigilance was tighter than when he visited before, he could still do it due to the special situation. I understand. In addition, the magic circle, mystery locks, and guard arrangements in the Kalsemmen Palace are all within the normal range. Not to mention the angels under the goddess Ishtar, even the clergy of the Holy See. Didn't see one.
Ishtar doesn¡¯t plan to deal with him? She doesn't care so much about the Kalsemmen Empire being attacked by the black dragon, or is this goddess planning something else?
Croseid didn't think that Ishtar's lack of information was such that he couldn't deduce that the black dragon attack was related to him. However, since the goddess didn't seem to intend to cause trouble for him, naturally he couldn't cause trouble for the goddess. After all, she is also a god who monopolizes the faith of half of the continent. In terms of power, she is probably the most powerful transcendent in the entire world.
I don¡¯t know how Yalin, the White Dragon King of the Yanold Mountains, compares with him. Although Yalin killed gods and many powerful extraordinary beings in the dragon war ten thousand years ago, Yalin was sealed in the The Yanold Mountains have been around for tens of thousands of years. During these years, Ishtar may have relied on the divine power accumulated through faith to elevate himself to a higher realm.
??????????????????? This negotiation is over anyway, so I returned honestly after attending the last banquet held by Wan.
But as soon as he thought of this, Closide narrowed his eyes again. There was also Aisha's matter that had not been dealt with because he was too busy during the negotiations, and Augusta seemed to have entrusted all matters to business because of its busy government affairs. The head of the aristocratic Posati family, Kenig, and his direct officials have taken full responsibility. Until now, he has not found a chance to meet Augusta. He even has some doubts about whether Ishtar has been there for a long time. Augusta disappeared secretly, but there will be a large banquet after the negotiation, at which Augusta, who can be said to be a quasi-king, should appear.
Closide gritted his teeth secretly, regardless of whether the goddess Ishtar noticed Elsa's identity, or whether Elsa's identity was important in the eyes of the goddess Ishtar, or if Augusta rejected him If you want to exchange Aisha¡¯s interests to yourself, what should you do?
It is impossible to rob, whether it is overt or covert!
Ishtar will never allow this kind of thing to happen again. If the first black dragon attack was just an unintentional accident, then the second time it was just a naked slap in the face of the goddess. This In addition to mercy and love, judgment and judgment also appear frequently in the goddess's teachings.
Look at the recent cults in the EastYou know it. After the big news in the Kingdom of Belrama, the knights of the Holy See have now beaten up the cultists and the masters behind them. Some time ago, it was reported that a large demon altar was destroyed. Hundreds of cultists were directly sent to the stake, including some powerful nobles and members of the royal family. However, the royal family of that country dared to say a word on this matter.
The strength shown by the angels after arriving in the Kingdom of Belrama not only frightened the demons, but also frightened many mortals. The spread of the Holy See's faith was much faster than usual, and countless people poured into the church with an unprecedented pious attitude. While praying, it can be said that people may not know the name of the king who rules over them, but no one does not know the name of the goddess who is the only Lord in the world.
Croside doesn't think he can confront Ishtar now. On the contrary, the current plan in the free city has reached a critical period and he has to keep a low profile. However, Yalin, the White Dragon King, has to give an explanation to the Dragon King, otherwise God knows what the angry Dragon King will do.
Although the White Dragon King seems to be no longer as impulsive and radical as he was ten thousand years ago, and the years of imprisonment seem to have polished him into a smooth person, Croside has a feeling that the Dragon King is now so smooth and out of touch with the world. Wu Zheng seems to be forced out by some kind of force. If it is pushed to the end, it will be like a spring being pushed to its limit. The result will definitely be a huge rebound. At that time, the White Dragon King may return to what he was ten thousand years ago. The evil dragon who wants to drag the whole world down to be buried with him.
"Elsa's matter should be dealt with as much as possible. If possible, I hope Augusta can hand over Elsa to me peacefully, even if it costs me some money."
The negotiations came to a successful conclusion, and a banquet was held to celebrate the successful signing of the agreement and serve as a farewell. However, on the surface, neither the relevant personnel of the Kalsemmen Empire nor the personnel of the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce were tight-lipped and did not disclose any information to the outside world. The banquet was also It was held under the guise of signing a regular cooperation agreement, but even so there were quite a few people attending the banquet. At least in the Kalsemmen Empire, in addition to the people who participated in the negotiations and their families, there were also Many imperial celebrities and nobles were also invited to participate. In order to expand their horizons, develop contacts, share information, and see if they can climb a big tree at the banquet, many noble men and women entered the banquet hall with their own thoughts.
As for the royal family, in addition to Prince Augusta, who was about to ascend the throne, and his wife, who appeared together with his wife, what everyone expected was that even King Adelino of the Carlseman Empire, who had been living in seclusion and was almost forgotten, also attended the event. A banquet. After some polite words and a drink with everyone, Adelino kept smiling, but the decadent feeling of a dying hero was clearly revealed. After taking a deep look at his son, he Feeling unwell, I retreated backstage to rest.
No one feels any difference, and no one feels anything is wrong.
The fact that King Adelino was deprived of his power by his son Augusta has spread throughout the continent. Now Adlino's behavior is completely normal. A king who has held power all his life has fallen. He is being ignored by his son, and is even about to be seized of power. It is already good that His Majesty the King can stand up and say such a few words today and still smile reluctantly. There will probably be more at the coronation and enthronement ceremonies in the near future. Enough to make Adelino feel miserable.
But who cares!
Everyone in the palace hall also watched the old king leave with disapproval. Over the years, Augusta has used his own strength to prove that he is thousands of times stronger than his father, and now the Kalsemmen Empire is under his leadership. They won a border conflict with the Kingdom of Creses, making the entire Kalsemmen Empire the most powerful empire in the eastern part of the continent, and it was an unprecedented peak period in the history of the empire.
Who dares to question? Who dares to dissent? Augusta's position at this moment is rock solid. Whether it is politics or military affairs, this young prince already holds all the power. The only choice everyone can make in the Kalsemmen Empire is to obey.
After the old king left, the band played beautiful music, and many young men and women stepped onto the dance floor to dance. In the crowded banquet hall, the Kalsemmen Empire and the Black Stone Empire, who were originally in tit-for-tat negotiations, The staff of the Environmental Chamber of Commerce also put down their guard against each other and started chatting happily. The tension during the negotiations has been gone. Everyone is working for their own boss. Now is the time when everyone needs to relax and enjoy their leisure time. .
It is not easy to attend the banquet of the most powerful empire in the eastern part of the continent. Every member of the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce is also enjoying a moment of leisure.??Having made connections, it is undoubtedly a pity that Princess Celine Brannis, known as the 'golden jewel' of the Carlseman Empire, is not here at the moment. Many people are even more disappointed that they were not able to meet this rumored princess. I feel so sorry for the beauty.
However, in the midst of the laughter and laughter, Closide walked in front of Augusta like a magnet that rejected all emotions. The two of them smiled at each other and looked at each other as if they knew what the other was thinking.
"Have you not given up on that elf girl yet?" Augusta asked with a smile, raising the glass of wine.
"How much do I have to pay before you are willing to transfer it?"
Croside did not hold the wine glass, but asked calmly.
