"That's itwhat? Do you still want me to extort more from Telal?"
After sending away Telal, and the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce temporarily restored calm, Alisa asked some inexplicable questions in Lelouch's office. As a person who participated in the entire negotiation with Telal, Alisa always felt that Lu Lu Xiu The conditions given by Lu Xiu were too loose. Except for forcing Lidya to stay, the other conditions were not so much conditions as they were giving a big profit to Telal, and even let this old man The general couldn't help but wonder if there was any trap.
Let Lydia regain her freedom, but Lydia must stay in the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce for a while until the big slave merchant Felibos dispels the last suspicion of Lelouch.
As the price of all this, what Telal has to do is to open the market to the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce in the name of the Tastorov family, on behalf of the nobles of Princess Lindis's faction, and give the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce a certain amount of rights in the next ten years. Exclusive rights, including the establishment of chambers of commerce, tax exemption policies, and pharmaceutical sales, etc. These conditions can hardly be regarded as conditions. For a country in turmoil and a civil war may break out at any time, Telal, as a staunch supporter of Princess Lindis's faction, may still hope for a stable supply of medicine. channels to meet the needs of a possible civil war.
"As your assistant, of course I hope to use every opportunity to help you seek the best interests." Alisa smiled and said directly: "As a businessman, I don't like to suffer losses, whether it is for myself or for you, the businessman. My nature makes me like to maximize the benefits of everything.¡±
Lelouch chuckled and reminded: "But I am not a businessman, and the ultimate purpose of our coming to this city is not to make money. Whether it is the Chamber of Commerce or the pharmacy business, it is just to maintain a stronghold. It¡¯s just a means, Alisa~ Don¡¯t forget the ultimate purpose of our coming to this city.¡±
"Yes~ Of course! Sir Lelouch." Alisa suddenly remembered the real mission of her group.
It is not to make money but to establish a stronghold for the unknown ancient gods entrenched in the Yanord Mountains. How can a high-ranking god value the property of a mortal, let alone the things he casually brought out from the ancient gods when he just arrived in the free city. Some things are an astonishing treasure.
In addition to establishing a stronghold, Lelouch was also given a more important job, which was to find the Soul Stone that fell into Claire's hands. Although Yalin's order only asked Lelouch to find the stone in the free city, But obviously this one is not the only one that exists in the world, and Yalin does not only need this one. In the future, he will definitely have to go to other areas to find these missing soul stones, and with Clay The Seth Kingdom has established a good relationship and allowed the forces of the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce and the Yanold Mountains to penetrate there in advance to prepare for the future.
Without Yalin¡¯s orders, Lelouch knew how to judge what to do on his own. If it were his brother Schneizel, he would definitely make the same choice and make all plans for the future!
"Let me inform everyone about Lydia, and give me the statistical report for the potion sales next month. There have been too many things recently, including the banquet that Felibos is going to hold, the potion sales, and the Black Knight. The formation of the group and" After chatting for a while, Lelouch returned to work, but the large amount of work also made Lelouch, a black dragon, show some fatigue: "It's much busier than in District 11. At least where I only have to play two characters and perform one of them well."
After transferring the statistical report to Lelouch, Alisa also quickly executed the order and transferred the relevant information about Lydia to everyone, mainly people who came from the city where the ancient gods were entrenched. Lisa only needs to convey a few confidants who are controlled by Lelouch's spiritual magic (geass).
Having said that, after a large group of spies and spies were controlled, those forces and organizations found that no results had been produced for so long and they recalled many people. However, this gave the Silver Wings Chamber of Commerce the opportunity to infiltrate them. A zero-cost information channel was established in this way, and there was no need to worry about the possibility of any rebellion by these double agents. They were like the most loyal servants. Any information valuable to the Silver Wings Chamber of Commerce would be It was passed quietly for a while.
This kind of fanaticism can even make fanatic believers who have been brainwashed by the cult feel inferior to themselves. If anything, these controlled spies and spies simply serve Lelouch like a god.
Alisa couldn¡¯t help but smile helplessly. The gap between gods and mortals is so big. There is no one who starts from scratch.It is more difficult for a businessman with a little background to develop in a free city than to pan for gold in the gravel. Even if he can successfully integrate into this city, the price and humiliation he will have to pay during the period are unimaginable. That is like his current boss. Like the boss, it was as easy as walking straight along the paved road. Even the bloodthirsty jackals watching eagerly from the side had to curl up their tails to hide under the deliberate protection of two of the Big Three. Stay far away.
In the eyes of many businessmen in the Free City, Lelouch, the young president of the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce who has created one miracle after another, is simply favored by the goddess of luck~ No! Or it should be said that this young man has successfully carried Lady Luck to his bed!
After the Silver Wings Chamber of Commerce successfully won the pharmaceutical order from Eunogia, one of the three giants, the legal merchant, the second order from the great slave merchant Felibos also made the Silver Wings Chamber of Commerce prosperous again. The order from Miss Yunokia, the most mysterious among the giants, has already made the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce and Lelouch famous as a member. It even spread to some nearby countries. This time, it received an order from Felibos. It was more like the icing on the cake, and it also made many forces who were originally eyeing the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce give up their thoughts.
At least in the eyes of many people, the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce with extraordinary potential and the young president seem to have been the prey set by the three giants. It is obvious that Ms. Yunokia's target is President Lelouch. Sister Buanyani, this mysterious legal businesswoman's perverse lace habit is well known in the free city.
Of course, both Eunogia and Felibos probably valued the pharmacists who worked for the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce. As a large slave merchant and even a private army, Felibos had always wanted to establish his own The pharmaceutical industry, and so many magicians under Yunokia are also big consumers in pharmaceutical consumption, but the preparation of pharmaceuticals itself is not easy, and many formulas are secret to some pharmacists. Without rigorous systematic training, Under the circumstances, there are only a limited number of pharmacists trained from colleges and families every year, and these apprentices need a long time to practice before they can actually prepare qualified medicines.
In addition, the Pharmacists Association in the Free City almost monopolizes the entire market. Any pharmacist who enters the Free City to make a living will be wooed by the Pharmacists Association at all costs, or even directly eliminated, in order to ensure their freedom. Absolute control of the urban pharmacy market.
For this reason, let alone Philibos, even the pharmacists trained by Eunogia's institutions are extremely limited and cannot form a large-scale production chain to break the monopoly policy of the Pharmacists Association, and the Pharmacists Association While monopolizing the market, he also knows how to lower his profile. In the free city for so many years, the three giants have never been able to catch anything. In addition, his influence is not small, so he can still exist in the free city to this day.
But now this situation is about to break!
In addition to the rapid rise of the Silver Wings Chamber of Commerce, President Lelouch relied on a large amount of initial capital to move among the major forces. The most important thing is that the Silver Wings Chamber of Commerce broke the monopoly pattern of the Pharmacists Association. A large number of pharmacists suddenly settled in the city and quickly occupied a place in the market. The speed was so fast that even the pharmacists association, which had been strictly guarding this market, was caught off guard.
The timing chosen by the Silver Wings Chamber of Commerce happened to cater to the ideas of the three giants and many merchants and mercenaries in the city for an additional pharmaceutical supply route. The Pharmacists Association, which had only reacted in a hurry, had not had time to use its old methods. When I came out, I found that two of the three giants were already on the side of the Silver Wings Chamber of Commerce. They clearly wanted to use the Silver Wings Chamber of Commerce to force their side to open up the market. Under the protection of two of the three giants, they wanted to cut off the Silver Wings Chamber of Commerce. Supply is already impossible, not to mention that many chambers of commerce saw the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce, and under the instructions of the three giants, they confidently ignored their own warnings and started to cooperate with the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce. cooperation.
For example, the Chamber of Commerce of the West** family in the Kingdom of Belrama was the first to jump out. Because it was the first to jump out and made a lot of money from the pharmaceutical trade with the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce, it seemed to have a bad atmosphere. Many chambers of commerce in the free city have started to compete with the Pharmacists Association.
Faced with this situation, the Pharmacists Association is angry but has nothing to do.
Monopolizing the market is obviously impossible. The bad example of lowering prices to compete for market share is difficult to take back. The supply of medicinal herbs is obstructed by other chambers of commerce, and using some shady means is obviously not possible at this time. However, the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce, which is closely watched by the three giants, obviously does not allow others to dye it. The last time someone stopped Lelouch's carriage halfway, the result was that it was liquidated by the three giants. The person behind it is still here. They all lived miserable lives.
For the Pharmacists Association, the only way to break through is to take action from the pharmacists in the Silver Wings Chamber of Commerce, using money to win over them and using means to coerce them. As the Silver Wings Chamber of Commerce currently focuses on the pharmaceutical business, as long as these pharmacists are gone It is nothing more than an empty shell, and once the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce has lost its value and is abandoned by the three giants, it will be torn into pieces and devoured by the hungry wolves in the free city.
This idea is not only the idea of ??the Pharmacists Association, but also the idea shared by many forces in the free city. As long as the Silver Wings Chamber of Commerce can lose those pharmacists, the Silver Wings Chamber of Commerce will be just a fat sheep that has lost its weapons and is waiting to be slaughtered.
The forces that hold this idea are also constantly looking for the foothold of the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce Pharmacy Workshop and the traces of the pharmacists in it.
In recent days, Kenjiro and Gus, who have been guarding the pharmacist's workshop, also noticed that there seemed to be more and more spies outside the pharmacy, and some even tried to break into the workshop at night. In the past, Kenjiro and Gus might have needed to consider the safety of the potion workshop, but after the recent batch of new troops arrived from Ulduar City, Kenjiro and Gus now had only one idea.
If you want to do it, just do it, don¡¯t give me the f-m-d!
