"As far as I know, your trade routes are extensive and your business covers most of the Eurasian Federation."
"They are all running for a living!"
Sikov carefully considered every word, and at the same time he was secretly surprised by the empire's intelligence capabilities. Many people knew that his trade routes were extensive, but not many people knew how accurate what His Majesty said.
"It's nothing in front of you!"
This is not flattery. Businessmen all know that the rise of Emperor Aslan was indispensable to the business empire he built.
"There is no need to be modest. The value of your merchants is very important to the empire. Mr. Sikov, I heard that you even have business in the Zanskat Empire?"
Sikov's heart skipped a beat and he didn't know how to answer for a moment, and sweat slowly broke out on the back of his neck.
In addition to trading in most of the Eurasian Federation, Sikov's business also has a secret channel leading to the Zansikat Empire, but this trade channel is mainly engaged in contraband trade.
Once the trading goods are exposed, they will be peeled off even if they die.
Due to the large-scale bombing of the outer continent, most of the roads disappeared during the bombing. Currently, the trade routes to various countries are slightly blocked. In order to avoid losses, many merchants in the Andnus area are thinking of other ways out. Sikov has also strengthened his
The connection with the Zansikat Empire is through the teleportation array. He has recently sent large quantities of goods to the border of the Zansikat Empire several times, mostly medicines.
The medicines produced by the Merox Empire are much cheaper than those of the Zanskat Empire, and the quantities are huge, becoming the main medicines for the Zanskat frontline army.
Because of this, Sikov has a good relationship with the military of the Zanskat Empire. For the countries in the outer continent that are at war with the central countries, he is no different from being an enemy.
Should the answer be yes or no?
Countless thoughts passed through Sikov's mind in an instant, and a large number of interests weighed one after another, but he had to answer, so after just two seconds of hesitation, he still spoke: "There are indeed some channels, because at that time
I have not surrendered to Your Majesty yet..."
"For me, business is business. I just want to know if your current channels can still be used?"
Sikov's face straightened: "Yes, because when I first came into contact with Zanskat's military, in order to avoid being exposed, I relied on token trade and only recognized tokens but not people."
"That's good!" Aslan nodded with satisfaction.
"The empire needs you as a channel, but you can rest assured that the empire will compensate you in another way."
Sikov controlled the changes in his expression very well, but his breathing still couldn't help but choke.
Obviously, everything he had done in the past was under the nose of this legendary emperor. Now that the emperor wants his trade channels, it cannot be for money. The only possibility is to penetrate into the Zansikat Empire.
Sikov's face almost glowed: "I am willing to serve you. This is the highest honor of our entire family!!"
Aslan nodded again with satisfaction, and then said: "Then leave this channel to me, and the trade with the Zanskat Empire will remain the same, but from now on, you will only be responsible for transportation, and leave the assigned matters to me.
The ANBU will take charge..."
Sikov listened carefully, not daring to say a word.
Just as he expected, His Majesty the Emperor wanted to do business with the Zanskart Empire and wanted to sell potions and other things.
This is a big deal and cannot be done with much fanfare, so it requires an agent.
Sikov learned a lesson from the Andnus main city incident. He was doing business on the surface, but secretly he would use this as an opportunity for the ANBU's men to break into the Zanskat Empire.
Things behind the scenes are not under the control of Sikov. He and his family are only responsible for serving as an agent to carry out the will of His Majesty the Emperor and to manage the flowing gold coins.
The conditions offered by His Majesty the Emperor are generous. Although from now on, the family will no longer exclusively enjoy all the profits from the pharmaceutical business of the Zansikat Empire, and will need to hand over half of the profits to the Emperor's private treasury, this part of the 'loss'
'It's nothing compared to the revenue to come.
With the support of His Majesty the Emperor, how many times will the family's pharmaceutical business in the Zansikat Empire expand?
Sikov couldn't even think about it.
Aslan indeed wanted to use the trade channel of Sikov to establish bilateral trade with the Zansikat Empire, but he did not plan to transport intelligence personnel into the Zansikat Empire, but used this channel to establish a two-way connection with Linda.
Use this to steal the technical channels of the Zanskat Empire.
The relatively high-end technology was sent back to the empire, and the low-end technology was promoted in the Eurasian Federation, establishing the Raytheon Group's absolute position in the Eurasian Federation.
Lay the foundation for future efforts.
After explaining most of the things, Aslan looked into Sikov's eyes: "So, do you understand?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I completely understand." Sikov nodded quickly and said.
"Very good!" Aslan smiled and nodded.
"After that, Zanskart will contact you and make all preparations for your next business. As for how to expand business in the Zanskart empire, you don't need anyone else to help you."
"Yes! Your Majesty, please rest assured on this point."
Aslan nodded with satisfaction.
"You can discuss the remaining matters with the people in the secretarial department! I have other things to be busy with."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Palma watched quietly from the side, remembering his father's teachings, not to say a word more or miss a word on such occasions.
Before leaving the study, Sikov happened to meet Masuo who was coming over.
"Hello, this mage!"
Sikov saluted respectfully, because her magic robe was embroidered with the emblems representing the magister's pointed magic hat and magic wand.
Masuo almost looked at the two father and son with his nostrils, and made a faint nasal noise as a greeting.
Sikov has long been accustomed to this, and the superior magister is naturally qualified to look down on them.
Then, they saw a scene that shocked them. The maids on both sides of the door bowed their heads respectfully, and the arrogant female magician kicked open the study door without even knocking on the door.
Palma subconsciously opened her mouth, and Sikov immediately pulled Palma towards the secretarial department.
To be able to behave so rudely to His Majesty the Emperor, the relationship is naturally extraordinary. Just look at the behavior of the two maids next to you. Apart from saluting, they lowered their heads from beginning to end and even looked at the female magician who passed by.
