Chapter 2925 The saint is selfless, so he can achieve his own selfish goals
"Based on the latest exploration results in the Huifeng Mountains, the first phase of the development plan is expected to be able to accommodate four mines at the same time. We still have a good chance of becoming one of them if we work hard."
Sha Duo smiled and shared with Jenna the latest results of the Northland Alliance's exploration of the Gray Peak Mountains. At the same time, he did not forget to ask Jenna about the progress of the domestic integration of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce.
Regarding this issue, Jenna already had an idea before she came. When Sha Duo asked her about it, she didn't wait to go to the meeting place and told Sha Duo on the way. She just used some magic to avoid outsiders' attention.
"The integration of domestic mining resources is very smooth. Many lords in the southeast region have joined. Lord Shado also mentioned Lord Leisen, Councilor Cliff, and some lords with minerals near Zenis have also joined."
Speaking of this, Jenna paused for a moment, and Xia Duo also reacted and quickly asked: "Where is the Seven Towers? What is their attitude?"
"Seven Towers is also integrating the mineral resources within their group, and they should also be interested in bidding for mineral development projects in the Gray Peak Mountains. This is all my fault. The move was a bit too big, and Seven Towers noticed it in advance."
There was quite a bit of regret in Jenna's words, but it was not that she regretted taking a big step, but that she regretted not moving fast enough. In this regard, Sha Duo was very open-minded. He comforted Jenna and said:
"After all, this matter cannot be circumvented by the Seven Towers. It is just a matter of who is in charge. Now we have the advantage. After meeting the workshop representatives from Everriska, we can discuss it with the Seven Towers.
Showdown."
At present, he has a decisive trump card in his hand, and that is the relationship between the elves!
Although the mining workshop like Evereska is eager to participate in the development plan of the Gray Peak Mountains, they are elves after all, and it does not mean that they are willing to rely on just any Netherese.
Netheril's relationship with the elven countries in the past was not very good. Although Evereska is a neutral place, there is not much communication with the Seven Towers.
But Xia Duo is different. From the initial trading of magic equipment, to planning a new era development route for Evereska, and now the two sides are cooperating to introduce the Bactrian Codex.
Not to mention the personal relationship with the elders, the cooperation between the two parties has been very in-depth.
Even if Xia Duo does not deliberately prevent Seven Towers from obtaining mineral development consultants from Evereska, Evereska itself will pay attention to this. It is inevitable to eat both sides, but in the end it is not as good as Sha Duo's planning in advance.
One of the most important things for Jenna to do now is to meet with the representatives of Evereska's mining workshop and confirm their intention to cooperate.
This cannot be accomplished in a short time. If Seven Towers wants to catch up, at least it will be behind them. Before that, Shado and Jenna will show off their cards to Seven Towers and attract other council members who have never touched this field.
Although doing so dilutes his expected interests, it clarifies the dominant position of himself and Jenna in this matter, which is more in line with Sha Duo's interests in the long run.
Otherwise, others will not be able to get a share, and Shado will be tempted to start a new one every day. It will be difficult to stop Shado. He and Jenna, even if they are joined by other allies, will not actually account for the majority of the Severnton Council.
A sage from my hometown once said, "The saint comes first after his own body, and his body exists outside his own body." "Because of his selflessness, he can achieve his selfishness."
In fact, this can also be understood as the "debate between short-term interests and long-term interests." Xia Duo did not have any urgent need for these interests, and chose long-term interests based on his own optimistic estimate of the future.
If the world is going to be destroyed tomorrow, then he will definitely search for resources at all costs to prepare for the next wandering in the heavens.
Although the situation in the North is a bit unstable now, the situation is not so severe that she doesn't care about the long term. As a businessman, Jenna is no stranger to making the cake bigger through cooperation and win-win results. She also agrees with what Sha Duo said about the showdown.
But what Jenna didn't know was that Shado not only wanted to show off to the Seven Towers with her, but also wanted to show off to her about the new currency issue. In other words, this was actually the main purpose of Shado inviting her to Everesca.
…
The two chatted all the way, exchanging all kinds of information at home and abroad, and in a moment they arrived at a magnificent manor hidden in the maple forest at the foot of the mountain.
"Elder Larian of Everriska and I have an old relationship. Seeing that I didn't have a formal residence in Everriska, he gave me this manor. It's really convenient for me to have a place to stay in this way.
few."
Chateau took Jenna for a short detour through the manor, taking in most of the buildings and scenery before taking him to the reception room of the main villa.
Since it was a guest brought back by Sha Duo himself, and the housekeeper Rachel also personally brought tea and snacks to the elf attendant, Jenna couldn't help but marvel, and at the same time, she was even more looking forward to the next meeting.
"Rachel, you can inform Vidas Workshop that representatives of the Mina family are here."
"Yes, sir."
After Rachel left, only Xia Duo and Jenna were left in the reception room. If there was no such thing as the Belief Currency Logo, then Xia Duo and Jenna would have continued chatting all over the place, waiting for the two families.
Representative comes over.
But now, Xia Duo has no intention to think about that. He is going to have a showdown with Jenna. The reason why he chose this point is of course because he considered the possibility of Jenna completely falling out.
If that were the case, there would be no need to introduce Jenna to the Vidas Workshop and the Mina family that runs the mining industry.
At the same time, this pending cooperation is also a bond for Jenna. As long as there is a chance, Sha Duo still hopes that Jenna will not completely fall out. It is better to just maintain the current situation than become an enemy.
Thinking of this, Xia Duo took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for Jenna, and at the same time considered the next words in her heart. At this point, Jenna finally became a little bit behind the scenes.
"Lord Xia Duo, could it be that something happened with the Elf Advisor?"
Jenna didn't think that far for a while. She just thought that something had happened to the elf consultant that Sha Duo asked the housekeeper to inform just now. Sha Duo shook his head and said no, and then said:
"I'm thinking about something that happened recently in the territory. A businessman from the mainland came to Daxia Territory to purchase civilian magic weapons. Since it was his first time here, he didn't know the relevant policies of Daxia Territory regarding gold coin exchange certificates, so he chose to bring him directly.
Here comes the gold coin.
"When the gold coins were moved from the ship, four or five boxes were moved, and one box almost fell from the springboard into the river. Later I learned about this situation and was deeply moved.
"In Daxia Territory, prices are relatively high, and there are almost no usage scenarios for copper coins. Trade and taxes are all settled in gold coins. However, as the territory development becomes more and more mature, gold coin counting and inspection have become bigger problems.
"In the final analysis, using metal currency is a last resort. If possible, I would rather use gold coins to exchange certificates in the territory."
The chat topic suddenly turned to gold coins. Before Jenna could react, she followed Sha Duo's words and said: "Unless it is a gold coin exchange certificate issued by the Sevington Council, it is impossible for any other territory to pass through the country.
