Heart of Empire Chapter 290: Easy-eyed Goodell

From scratch, it took ten years to build a port city that is more prosperous than Shawan Port. This sentence was said by Tommy after drinking.

At that time, what he said was impassioned, as if he had full confidence. But after he sobered up, he regretted it.

These words have a strong meaning of drunk gaffes. Although, the development speed of Ghost Knife Port is very fast, if it can really continue to develop according to this momentum, it is not that there is no chance of achieving the goal at all. But the development of the city will not always be smooth sailing. It is true that it is a period of rapid development, but if it encounters bottlenecks or difficulties, it is also possible that the development speed will slow down or simply stagnate.

Ten years to catch up with Shawan Port, this is indeed a bit big.

The key point is that it doesn't matter if you talk about it in private, but it's not appropriate for him to say the question in front of the great lord Dane.

The words that are spoken, the water that is poured out. If Ghost Knife Port has been able to maintain a rapid development momentum, that's fine. If it really hits a stagnation period, how can I deal with Dane? Will he be kicked out by then?

Tommy was worried about it.

Dane didn't know his worries, and if he knew, he would definitely dismiss them.

In Tommy's view, the so-called "catch up with Shawan Port in ten years", which is suspected of bragging, is simply too slow for Dane.

Although Shawan Port has also fallen into his hands now, there is no systematic blessing after all, unlike White Wolf Fort and Comilla Island. These two places where the Li system base is established are the two most core territories in his heart!

With the blessing of systematic power, if Ghost Knife Port is backed by Orienado, it will take ten years to catch up with Shawan Port, so what's the point?

Of course, it is an objective fact that the current development momentum of Ghost Knife Port is insufficient. But it doesn't matter, after the alchemy studio and the enchanting workshop are completed, two engines will be directly added to Comilla, the big ship designed by Dane.

Dain believes this very much.

…

It will take three days for the two magic-related workshops to be upgraded. During this period of time, Dane did not stay in Cormyr all the time, and he also returned to White Wolf Castle in the middle.

No other important things, but Goodell came to visit Dane once in the middle.

Dyne didn't plan to meet the halfling merchant at first. Previously, the commercial guild of Shawan Port sent this guy who had a relationship with him as a lobbyist. After the news of the tax increase came out, the person who arrogantly invited him to meet at the General Affairs Office was also Goodell.

Because of this, he thought that Goodell's visit this time was also assigned by the General Affairs Office.

He refused the meeting with Goodell, and wondered, could Hei Jing's business be changed to a partner?

However, later, when Goodell persistently came to see him several times, and even brought valuable gifts, Dane felt that he might have misunderstood.

"This guy's brain doesn't look as stupid as those businessmen in Shawan Port."

As he was so elusive, he asked his subordinates to bring Goodell to his living room at the top of White Wolf Castle.

Sitting on a big comfortable chair, Dane was wearing very casual home clothes, holding a glass of high-end Cormyria wine in his hand. Now, after such a long period of time, the Cormyrne wine that has been handed down from Aurelia has completely opened up its market. The popular wine has brought a lot of money to Oriani. Ulrika is already preparing to expand the size of the winery with the support of Faro.

Dane has heard about this incident and read the report. However, he no longer personally intervenes in such matters. As the territory grows larger and the shop spreads wider and wider, he has to deal with and pay attention to more and more things. It is precisely because of this that he is no longer doing many things in the territory himself like before.

Aurui Nai has Falal, Ghost Knife Port has Tommy, White Wolf Fort is sitting in charge by himself, and Chapple is helping, and Verina at Shahaiwan Port is still doing very well. In the daily work of the army, with Patience, an experienced ranger general, there is basically no need for Dane to worry about anything.

If you have talents under your command, use them boldly. If you do everything by yourself, not only will you not be able to use your talents, but you will be exhausted to death, not to mention that the effect of doing things may not be very good.

This truth, the longer Dane sits in a high position, the more he will understand the truth.

As the door of the living room was pushed open, Dane's thoughts also came back. He looked at Goodell who appeared at the door, and he had some guesses about the purpose of this guy's visit this time.

He was waiting for the other party to speak, but he didn't expect Goodell's reaction to be so intense.

I saw that this guy, whose height was less than Dane's waist height, started crying as soon as he entered the door.

The little dwarf ran forward quickly, ran to Dane's side, hugged his thigh, and burst into tears:

"Boss Dane! The matter at Shawan Port really has nothing to do with me! It is the commercial guild that is going against you, and I was tricked because of this! You must not Things are not happy!"

Dyne didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He shook his leg, trying to shake off the halfling who was hugging his lap, but he didn't move.

Of course, with Dane's strength, let alone throwing off Goodell, if he really kicked down, he would probably be able to kick this halfling who has no personal strength to death.

However, he didn't mean to want Goodell's life.

So ~IndoMTL.com~ Dai Enhu put on a face and said: "Let me go quickly, if you don't let go, Hei Jing will find someone else to do it!"

As soon as Hei Jing was mentioned, Gudel immediately didn't dare to be presumptuous, and stood obediently by the side, not daring to say a word, but he couldn't get rid of that aggrieved face.

Dane knew this guy was faking it.

"Put down that face of yours, it's annoying to look at!" He took a sip from his wine glass, and continued: "Tell me, what gave you your heart and leopard courage, when you were in Shawan Harbor Dare to let me come to visit you?"

Goodell immediately explained that at the beginning the business guild just let him meet Dane, and he talked about the relationship, and then the tax increase storm came out, and he was pulled out to top the tank again, and he also broke his mouth by the way Scold those 'sb' of the commercial guild

In the middle of the journey, Dane kept a noncommittal look, just drinking the wine in his glass.

Most of Goodell's previous performances were pretense, in order to show his attitude. But now, seeing that Dane didn't seem to be moved, he was really anxious. (To be continued.)
