Hear Krause Speaking, Serek with Keller All can't help but Glanced at the black hair sitting next to brat ,and Rhodes Facing the eyes of the two, he didn't say a word, and the expression on his face did not change at all. Krause What did you say?
"Since Mr. Rhodes refuses to say, then let me go first."
Seeing that Rhodes refused to speak up, and Krause was no longer forced, he opened his mouth with a smile and then looked at Keller sitting next to him.
"Mr. Keller, Merchant Union has done too much recently. I have warned them about this, but these people have no regret at all. On the contrary, they think that the ore price has been artificially lowered. Suspicion, this damages their interests, I think this is why these guys want to do these things. "
Speaking of this, Krause's tone is a little deep, and Keller is also complexion serious.
Rhodes picked up the teacup and stared at the black tea in front of him. On the surface, he seemed indifferent to Krause's speech, but in fact he was well aware of the causes and consequences of the entire matter.
In the Moon public country, businessmen have no status. They can make a lot of money and gain a reputation in many ways, but they have no way to go beyond upgrade's own power. The rule of Moon Dukedom, rank, has always been very tight on trade, especially on basic materials such as salt, ore, and grain. It has been tightly controlled to try to keep the prices of these materials and commodities in a stable situation. This of course is good for the stability of the entire country, but for businessmen, they have lost a good opportunity to make money. The businessmen's original goal is to pursue benefits. Although they can also get a lot of benefits at Moon Dukedom, they cannot pursue the greatest benefits. This makes many businessmen very dissatisfied.
Not only that, the lack of power of businessmen ’s discourse power is also a problem they care about. In Moon Dukedom, Royal Family is the supreme existence, saying one thing, they do n’t allow those Major Chamber of Commerce to threaten their power with the help of or through monopoly, So once a chamber of commerce tried to use this as a means to threaten the rule of Royal Family, it was a fat pig for Royal Family, and finally it was time to kill the meat.
So people who do business in Moon Dukedom are well aware of one thing. If you are just making money honestly, it does n’t matter.
But if you want to use this to shake the authority and power of Royal Family, then you are dead ... Although under such coercive pressure, many businessmen have accused or even angryly threatened Moon Dukedom, thinking that they This is breaking the rules. If they continue this way, no one would dare to do business with them. But for these threats, Moon Dukedom has never been in the eyes. After all, it is located in the continent central transportation road, with trade routes extending in all directions, rich in products, cheap and good quality, if you don't come, others will come. If you do n’t want to make money, it does n’t mean that everyone does n’t want to make money. You think it ’s dangerous, but there are speculators who want to get rich in danger. Pursuing benefits is the businessmen ’s business. Morality and justice are never something they should care about.
In fact, the businessmen of Muenen Dukedom prefer to get the same treatment as Major Chamber of Commerce of Kingdom of Light. one by one In Kingdom of Light Parliament, the relationship between the MPs and Major Chamber of Commerce is very close. The legislators used the financial resources of the Chamber of Commerce to influence upgrade's own influence, and the latter obtained redistribution of political resources by paying these. So these Major Chamber of Commerces have great power in Kingdom of Light, and even some people have a much higher status than Lord in those territories.
This time made can't help but's Merchant Union very eye-catching. They have made suggestions several times, hoping that Moon Royal Family can relax their restrictions. However, in Lydia, chopping melons and vegetables and hanging the most violent guys jumping a few jumps outside Golden City After Yong Yong's publicity on the scene, no one was so stupid enough to mention this topic.
After all, the goal of the businessman is to make money first, and then the other. If you are dead, how can you make money?
"I have issued a written warning to them again, asking them to lower the ore price to within a reasonable range within three days. Otherwise, I will consider taking some measures to force the price down."
Speaking of this, Krause sighed.
“I ’ve got in touch with other business organizations in the region, and I ’ve promised to compensate some of their price difference, but they must keep their commodity prices unchanged. I do n’t want to see any problems caused by this, because after all, Due to the attack on the air trade route, we have been inferior to the commodity circulation in the past ......... "
Speaking of this, Krause smiled at Rhodes again.
"Thanks to you this time, Mr. Rhodes, otherwise, if Shanglu continues to do so, what will Parfield Area look like ..."
Rhodes took a sip of black tea and still did n’t say a word, but Krause did n’t take it seriously either. Many people who do n’t understand Rhodes' saw his first glance, it ’s easy for Rhodes boss to wear a dead face I don't think he likes to talk. In fact, only people like Serek who are more familiar with him will know, don't look at the expressionlessness in Rhodes normally, but he actually has a lot of words.
Rhodes does not know why Krause always puts the topic on himself. He can vaguely guess a reason, but this does not mean that he is willing to follow the other party ’s ideas. In any case, Krause invited him over to participate in this secret meeting, it can be seen that he should have noticed something, but since the other party did not intend to cast aside all considerations for face not mincing words, then Rhodes will naturally not be stupid enough to stand up.
Qi ... but I think Merchant Union is likely to reject my request. "
The tone of Krause changed a lot colder at this moment, obviously sitting in the sunny and warm parlor, but it seemed that a cold wind was blowing, making can't help but tremble.
"This will disappoint me. Mr. Keller, I know that the Keller Family family has always had its own set of intentions in mining, and your family has been in Deep Water City for a long time. I also believe in your credibility. I do n’t know if you have Interested in expanding your industry? "
Hearing this, Keller eyes opened slightly, and he put down the cup in his hand, complexion was a little stiff.
Keller is not a fool, of course he knows what it means. Obviously, if Merchant Union does not intend to accept the proposal of Krause, then after three days, it is him who is sitting in that position!
Now, the reason why Krause will make this suggestion to himself is in fact implying that he will make preparations early and take over as soon as he arrives.
Thinking of this, Keller felt a cold sweat behind can't help but. Obviously, the reason why Krause made this suggestion to him was definitely an investigation of the previous things, and he noticed the contradiction and conflict between him and Merchant Union , This decision was made.
Thinking about this, Keller feels lucky/fortunate for his original decision. Although he has heard of the Golden City method for a long time, it is beyond his expectation to be so unscrupulous. If he succumbed to Merchant Union, If you agree to join hands with them, then I am afraid that someone sitting here will replace yourself as the one who is about to sit on your seat. What would happen to your family if it really got there?
Keller can't help shivering, he could n’t care about Rhodes and Serek who were still watching good shows at the moment. He immediately got up and replied firmly.
"Please rest assured, Master Krause, I will be ready."
"That's fine." Hearing Keller's answer, Krause smiled, then he turned his head and looked at Serek and Rhodes.
"So, two of you, the next thing I want to talk about is your business, especially about Emerald Tears Mercenary Group."
"If it is about this topic, then I have nothing to say."
Rhodes put down the teacup in his hand.
"I just did what I should do, it's that simple."
After hearing Rhodes''s answer, a hint of fineness flashed in Krause's eyes, and then he eyes narrowed smiled again.
"I understand what you mean, Mr. Rhodes. But I think I still have something to tell you ... Just two days ago, Mr. Special Envoy Clinton of Dragon of Light Kingdom had left here and set off for his homeland. He told me before he left. A diplomatic protest was raised ... ""
Here, whether it is Rhodes, Serek or Keller, can't help but sneered.
Clinton originally is a Moon Dukedom. It ’s enough to run to Kingdom of Light as a betrayal. It was only after a few years that the watchdog ran back to life and expressed his Master diplomatic protest on behalf of himself. I really regarded myself as something. ?
Betrayal is unpopular everywhere.
"He thinks that the disappearance of destruction of Emerald Tears Mercenary Group and accident/surprise of Frank Captain is related to you. It is between Frank Captain and Kingdom of Light ’s prestigious family members. I am afraid that this matter will not end so easily. Listen to his tone. Presumably Kingdom of Light It is possible to formally submit a note to our country, asking you to investigate you and your Mercenary Group. "
This is really interesting.
Rhodes eyebrow raised, he now finally understands that one of the reasons Krause invited himself to come.
"This is an unfounded complaint. I do n’t think I need to worry about something that does n’t exist."
Rhodes said the words are strict, with no pause or hesitation, as if the unlucky ghost who died under his sword was a strange passerby.
"Very good, youngster will have such momentum." Hearing Rhodes''s reply, Krause laughed and patted him on the shoulder.
"But you do n’t have to worry too much, this is after all the internal affairs of Moon Dukedom, and the width of the Kingdom of Light tube is also limited. And here is Parfield, not the mouse height of Barcel, they want to make wind on my site If you are in the rain, you have to ask me if I agree with you. Anyway, you are not doing well ... "
Speaking of this, Krause paused for a moment, then he raised his head meaningfully, staring at the Rhodes in front of him.
"So, I have a request, I need your help, and I hope you don't refuse." Hearing this sentence, Rhodes silent for a moment.
"Please speak."
"This is it."
After getting Rhodes''s answer, Krause quickly became serious.
"Recently, according to my subordinate reports, the village near the Lorend Mountains was attacked by undead creature."
"undead creature?" Hear here, started talking of Serek somewhat surprised.
"Yes, undead creature."
nodded where Krause is very certain.
"Although I have n’t seen it with my own eyes, I heard Emissary said that it should be something like a ghost húnSpecter. They haunt the local every night, causing great harm to the people there, although I also sent The local garrison went to help, but the results were minimal. Therefore, I hope to have a professional come forward to help. Your Starlight Mercenary Group's outstanding performance when facing undead creature is not comparable to other Mercenary Group, and now all Mercenary Groups of Parfield Area have suffered heavy losses. Time, I can not find a better helper, therefore, I hope you can help them to deal with this disaster. "Said here, Krause paused, then he looked at Serek.
"Mr. Serek, I know the recent ban on Mercenary Association, but as an administrative officer, I am afraid I ca n’t wait for such a long time. After all, the villagers there are being attacked by undead creature. It ’s too late. And I think you know very well that the Church force here is not very strong, otherwise, it will not let undead creature wreak havoc for such a long time. "
"Of course I can understand, Mr. Krause."
Serek is in a hurry nodded.
"Since it is the order of the administrative officer, we Mercenary Association can also handle it at our discretion, please rest assured in this respect."
"Remuneration will be paid by our Deep Rock City. I believe that everyone will be satisfied, and as compensation, I can pay half of your remuneration in advance, and the rest will be paid after you complete the return of quest, so how do you think ? "
In response to Krause ’s inquiry, Rhodes did not immediately answer. He first drank the black tea in a cup, and then leisurely crossed both hands, sitting on the sofa, two eyes narrowed slightly.
"If I am not wrong, the person requesting assistance should be a resident of High Cliff Village. Mr. Krause?" (To be continued!
