Heart of Empire Chapter 307: Use
Glittering Gold Chamber of Commerce's unwise choice made them lose a veteran figure who founded the Chamber of Commerce in Shawan Port, and at the same time made them a member of Dane's blacklist.
The Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce, which is ignorant of current affairs, was thrown into the sidelines by Dane, and Verina was asked to, among the various policies of Shawan Port, deal with the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce, caravans, merchants, and other commercial industries. Activities are heavily taxed. In addition, Verina was also asked to stare at them fiercely, and once she found that the industry of the Glittering Gold Chamber of Commerce did not comply—even if it was slightly inconsistent—laws, regulations, and actions of various provisions, she would Immediate and very severe punishment.
This is quite a targeted action, and, for a chamber of commerce, it is almost tantamount to declaring war.
The General Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce, which reciprocated, immediately announced that it would reduce the transportation and export of fur, minerals and other resource commodities under their control to Shawan Port.
But Dane wasn't afraid of them at all.
The lifeblood of the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce, or their most advantageous business industry, lies in the collection and export of these raw materials.
Raw materials are always sold to others, so for a place with underdeveloped productivity in New Lyle, the best direction for them to sell these raw materials is the West with relatively high productivity. Human society, as well as its own production of raw materials, is not enough for the Shire continent for its own use.
However...
Needless to say on the Shire continent, the Shire United Chamber of Commerce and Dane are now almost in a very intimate honeymoon period. Especially when Dane handed over almost all of the export of raw materials under his own name to the Shire United Chamber of Commerce as an agent, in fact, in the short term, they were not particularly lacking in the things that the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce provided them. share.
Of course, as far as the production of resources and commodities in Dane's hands is concerned, it is certainly impossible to consume the entire Shire Continent. However, Schindler is not the only source of raw materials, and sufficient raw materials can be imported from other places. What's more, even if it's just Schindler's place, can the Glittering Gold Chamber of Commerce really monopolize the production and export of all resource commodities? Totally impossible!
If they can do this, then they are the kings of Schindler, and Ozer, Conley, etc., can sleep well.
It is precisely because of this that even though the Glitter Gold Chamber of Commerce has such a powerful 'weapon' in their hands, if they want to threaten the Shire United Chamber of Commerce or the Sequoia Chamber of Commerce with these resource industries, It's an unrealistic thing.
As for the Sequoia Chamber of Commerce, their attitude after this turmoil is completely different from that of the Glittering Gold Chamber of Commerce.
Although the Sequoia Chamber of Commerce sent a letter of protest immediately after Clarice was arrested, their actions were not as intense as those of Shen Jin. What's even more strange is that during the fermentation process of the subsequent incidents, they kept a strangely silent attitude.
As if they didn't care much about Clarice's life or death.
Of course, this is just Verina's feeling. She does feel a little bit, as if the Sequoia Chamber of Commerce has a meaning of "losing Shawan Port in exchange for Clarice's death, it is worthwhile."
This is a very interesting thing.
What's also worth pondering is that during the initial period of her arrest, Clarice was still very active in trying to get rid of this prisoner status.
Although she was not abused, the environment she lived in prison was comparable to a hotel. But freedom is still very important, especially for Clarice.
Verina did not block Clarice's access to outside news during these days. After hearing a lot of news about the Sequoia Chamber of Commerce, the woman in red obviously guessed something.
She didn't tell anyone, but it was obvious that her will had become a little depressed. Even after being held for a week, she started drinking heavily and passed out several times in between.
When the jailer guarding Clarice reported the news to Verina, Verina realized that her previous guess was likely to be correct.
She has also heard some rumors about Clarice being the lover of Prince Hawkeye, and some of why Clarice was expelled from the prosperous Pudley Kingdom to a relatively barbaric place. Sandy Bay Harbor.
Queen Susan Bella of the Pudley Kingdom is not a particularly jealous woman. But after all, the queen is famous, she may turn a blind eye to her husband's lover, after all, it's just a political marriage. But it was unlikely to be tolerated, her husband's lover was well known.
Thinking about it, if Prince Eastman hadn't been protecting his lover, Clarice would have been dead for so many years.
From this point of view, Prince Hawkeye seems to be a kind and righteous man, or he has deep affection for Clarice, and he doesn't want him to die in the Pudley Kingdom. That's why she was sent to Shawan Port through the Sequoia Chamber of Commerce. Even if the place is not prosperous, but at least it controls the right to speak in a port, and with a strong background, for a woman, it should be considered safe and secure.
But who would have thought that they would meet Dane.
It is estimated that the Sequoia Chamber of Commerce, which sent a strong protest letter at the beginning, was under Eastman's order. As for Sequoia who was silent and ambiguous later, it may have come from Her Majesty the Queen.
It is very possible that Her Majesty the Queen does not want to see Clarice continue to live.
Of course, this is just Verina's guess after combining some of the information she has obtained, including some performances of the Sequoia Chamber of Commerce, and seeing Clarice's mentality~IndoMTL.com~This is just a guess It was just a guess, and there wasn't much evidence to support it, but she felt that the guess and the facts should be absolutely inseparable.
As for whether this guess is correct or not, Velina doesn't really care much about it. The Kingdom of Pudri, which is far to the west of the Southern Cross Sea, would take at least a month's voyage to reach Shawan Port even with a fast boat. No matter how great the reputation of Her Majesty the Queen is, if it radiates to such a distant place, the impact it can have on Shawan Harbor is actually very little. On the contrary, Velina became interested in Clarice herself.
She realized that the Sequoia Chamber of Commerce and the delicate domestic situation of the Pudley Kingdom seemed to have something that could be used.

I broke my promise...
I tried to maintain two updates as much as possible, but the update was interrupted yesterday...
I underestimated the damage to the finger. Yesterday, my index finger was swollen into a sausage, and I could barely flex or stretch it. It hurts when I touched my finger, and I couldn’t type at all...
This chapter is one-finger Zen knocked out... I am in a state of collapse... (to be continued.)
