Doland is located at the northern end of the Qingfeng Plain, close to the Flower Forest. In this chaotic city, there are the largest number of poor people, the largest number of soldiers stationed, and the largest number of crimes. People die every second.
Crimes are committed every second, and in this cursed city, only the true villains can survive.
There is no doubt that Kaman is a true villain.
Of course, Kaman himself would never admit it. In fact, Kaman has always called himself a great philanthropist because he always felt that he provided employment opportunities for countless people and gave them three meals a day.
, with the money to support the family, such a contribution is not comparable to those who talk about benevolence, justice and morality.
In this city, there are very few people who don’t know Kaman, and there are also very few people who haven’t dealt with Kaman. This middle-aged fat man in his forties may not look amazing, but he is actually a member of the Northam Chamber of Commerce.
The real decision-maker of Doland, this chamber of commerce controls more than 80% of the ore transactions in Dorland. Maybe a table knife in your home is made from the ore sold by the Northam Chamber of Commerce. Especially in recent years, the Northam Chamber of Commerce has
The business is getting bigger and bigger, reaching out to every field that can be touched, and the wealth is getting bigger and bigger like a snowball. There are even rumors that the Northam Chamber of Commerce has caught up with the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce.
It won't take long for the big ship to completely monopolize more than half of Doland's industry.
Of course, the rumors are just rumors, and there is no way to verify whether they are true or false.
But one thing is certain. Kaman has been in a good mood in the past few days. Of course, this has nothing to do with the Glitter Gold Chamber of Commerce. It is all just because Kaman just discovered a mineral vein in Black Mountain Town. A few days ago,
, he had already asked several senior miners to look at it, and the result of the exploration was that it was a rich vein of fine iron ore. This news made Kaman happy for several days.
Kaman has been running the ore business, and his understanding of the ore market is far beyond what ordinary people can match. He knows very well that in the past year, the price of refined iron ore can be said to have risen again and again. Compared with a year ago
It has almost doubled before. If this fine iron ore vein discovered by chance is mined properly, it will definitely bring huge profits to the Northam Chamber of Commerce.
Moreover, Kaman remembered clearly that at a banquet a few days ago, the city lord Gomok had asked someone to bring him a message, asking him to find a way to get a batch of refined iron ore. If he seizes this opportunity well, he can even
By taking the route of City Lord Gomok, business in Doland will be really smooth sailing from now on.
In the past few days, Kaman has been planning the mining.
Black Mountain Town is a small place, with only a few hundred households up and down. Most of them rely on farming to make a living. Kaman has already had someone check it out. The owner of this mine seems to be a descendant of a ruined nobleman. It is said that this
He is so poor that he can't open the pot for a long time. As long as you give him a few dollars, there should be no problem in getting the land title...
Kaman has never been worried about this matter. With the current power of the Nocent Chamber of Commerce, what does a descendant of a ruined noble mean? As long as he is willing, there are at least hundreds of ways to force him to hand over the land deed.
What really bothers Kaman is the mining problem. Mining the iron ore veins requires a lot of manpower. It is definitely not enough to rely on the few miners you have on your own. Moreover, these guys are really disobedient, and their wages are very high.
, and always clamoring for some kind of welfare. When he thinks of this, Kaman becomes very angry. It would be nice to just give you food, but he actually dares to ask for some kind of welfare. When my batch of dwarf slaves arrive, you will
Let's all go home and drink the northwest wind...
"It seems that after we get the land deed, we have to press the other side again..."
Kaman was thinking secretly, when suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside the study.
This panicked voice fell into his ears, and it immediately made Kaman frown. None of these guys under him were really successful. They would panic over every little thing. What if something big happened really happened? Look.
Come on, I really need to find some time to teach these guys a lesson...
"Shut up!" Kaman glared at the other party fiercely: "Balbed, are you possessed by a ghost? Why are you shouting in broad daylight?"
"No, no, no... President Kaman..." The middle-aged man named Balbed hurriedly entered the study, where he panted for several times before finally catching his breath.
: "Something really happened!"
"What's going on?" Kaman frowned tightly and looked at this helpless subordinate: "Is there some trouble in Black Mountain Town?"
"Yes...yes." Balbed swallowed and glanced at Kaman with fear: "I'm sorry, President Kaman, I failed to handle the matter you told me..."
"You didn't buy the land deed?" Kaman was a little surprised. In his original plan, buying the land deed was the least difficult. He was just a descendant of a ruined nobleman. A few thousand gold coins would be enough to defeat him.
I'm so confused, why can't I buy it? Could it be that this guy is so open-minded that he wants to offer himself a high price?
If that's the case, don't blame me, Kaman, for being rude...
"I'm sorry, President Kaman..."
"If you're sorry, let's wait until we go to the grave. I just want to know the reason now. I just want to know why you failed to buy back the land deed. Is it because the other party asked for too high a price or made some other harsh demands?
Conditions, in short, Balbed, you'd better give me a justifiable reason..."
"That's it, President Kaman, this morning I followed your instructions and went to Montenegro Town to find the run-down nobleman named Abraham to discuss the purchase of the land deed..." Under Kaman's gaze, Barr
Bede began to speak tremblingly: "Who knew, when we found him in the tavern, he told us that the land deed had been sold long ago to a young man from Garros.
He also told us that the young man seemed to want to build a tower on that land..."
"Hell..." When Kaman heard this, his lungs almost exploded. If he hadn't tried so hard to suppress his anger, he would have slapped him in the face: "Idiot, you idiot, he sold the land deed to
If you bought someone else, wouldn't you buy it from that person again? Do you know how much that vein is worth? I tell you, this vein is worth at least two million gold coins, plus one to establish a good relationship with the city lord.
There was no chance, but you came back so stupidly, are you a human or a pig?"
"Luo... President Kaman, please listen to my explanation..."
"Okay, okay, I want to hear what you have to explain!"
"We went to the Garos man, but he said he wouldn't sell it, no matter how much money we paid..."
"Too arrogant, too arrogant..." Kaman was so angry that he was shaking all over. He never thought that in the land of Doland, there would be people who dared not to give face to the Northam Chamber of Commerce without paying any amount of money.
For sale? I want to see who is so capable and dares to say such a thing...
Kaman came out of the study angrily and quickly called dozens of his subordinates. These people were all Kaman's confidants. The most junior one had been with him for five years and was a twelfth-level warrior.
, there are also thirteenth-level thieves, and there is even an eleventh-level magician among them. Usually, when they can't buy something with money, Kaman will let them buy it...
"Everyone bring weapons and follow me to Black Mountain Town!"
"yes!"
More than a dozen carriages rolled up dust and smoke and drove toward Heishan Town.
"President Carman, look..." As soon as the carriage arrived at the entrance of the town, Balbed pointed to the hillside in the distance: "They are there!"
"Well, I saw it..."
Kaman glanced from a distance and saw that where Balbed was pointing, there were almost a dozen people standing, some old and some young. One of them, a young man in a black robe, seemed to be discussing something with the old man next to him.
"Feire, have you really decided?" Herza frowned tightly. To be honest, he still hasn't figured out why this kid built the tower in this place, in Herza.
It seems that this is just like a joke. There is no place in the huge Qingfeng Plain. This kid spent a long time choosing and actually chose a remote and backward place like Heishan Town...
"Well, it's relatively clean here..." Lin Li smiled and casually threw out such an excuse that was not a reason.
"..." Herza shook her head and gave up her plan to continue persuading.
On the other hand, Mock on the side showed a bit of disdain: "It's ridiculous..."
"Shut up, Mok." Herza felt a headache coming on. He really regretted it now. There were so many magicians in the Supreme Council, so why did he bring this idiot out? He didn't know if he had eaten anything along the way.
The wrong medicine was used, and Feyre was targeted from the beginning to the end. Couldn't he use his brain? What kind of fuel-saving light would a young man who can stand out in the trial finals be? Wait, wait, you idiot.
When Fei Lei takes revenge, I will definitely be happy to watch the joke...
"Magic Mok, what's so funny? How about saying it to make everyone happy?" After a few days, Lin Li had already become accustomed to Mok's targeting. At this time, hearing his sarcasm, he wasn't very angry, but
I was secretly thinking about when to give this guy some pain...
Fortunately for Herza, after her own warning, Mock finally restrained himself a little and did not continue to target the thorny young magician. Then, everything became much simpler, since the president
Having already made a decision, Herza stopped persuading. He just called an accompanying magician and asked him to send an official letter to the Supreme Council. In three days, an engineering team will be sent there.
Black Mountain Town, and then the construction of the tower can officially begin.
At this time, Kaman had already got off the carriage and was hurrying over here with a group of his men.
"President Kaman, that's the person who bought the land title!"
"Oh?" Kaman glanced at it from a distance. This young man was almost in his twenties. He looked polite and didn't seem like a shrewd businessman. If he had a good talk with him, this business should be done.
It's not difficult to close the deal, but the old man next to him seems to be quite shrewd. He might give the young man some bad ideas, so he has to find a way to get him away...
After quietly thinking about it in his mind, Kaman forced out a warm smile.
"Everyone, good afternoon. Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Kaman, the president of the Northam Chamber of Commerce. I wonder if I can use some time from my unit to discuss a business that will be beneficial to everyone?"
"It turns out to be President Kaman, hello, hello..." As expected by Kaman, the young man who seemed to be gentle and gentle was indeed easier to talk to. Kaman had just finished introducing himself, and his face was full of smiles.
Showed a warm smile.
Fortunately, I came here in person. Otherwise, if I just listened to that idiot Balbed’s words, I really don’t know how this business would have turned out...
Kaman was secretly rejoicing when he heard the young man say: "But President Kaman, I'm really sorry. I will definitely not sell the land deed, so I think there is no business to discuss between us."
"..." Kaman's warm smile froze on his face.
Kaman asked himself that a successful businessman is far better than the average person at turning against others. However, it was not until today that he suddenly realized that compared with this young man, he was really far behind.
What does it mean to fall out of love faster than flipping through a book? Just look at the young man in front of you and you will understand everything...
"Okay, President Kaman, if there is nothing else, I won't waste your time."
Kaman suddenly became anxious: "How about five thousand gold coins, or six...seven thousand gold coins? You have to know that seven thousand gold coins is a lot of money. If you miss this opportunity, you may not be able to make it again!"
"You'd better keep such a large amount of money for yourself..."
"Then don't blame me for being rude..." Seeing that even seven thousand gold coins could not impress the other party, Kaman stopped raising the price and just waved to the group of men behind him: "Go and have a good talk with this gentleman.
talk."
"yes!"
Kaman's dozens of men were indeed well-trained. In just a blink of an eye, they surrounded Lin Li. Seeing that a battle was about to break out, Herza on the side saw it and was anxious in his heart, and quickly reminded him
Kaman: "President Kaman, I advise you not to do stupid things, you will regret it..."
"Don't worry, I just want to have a good talk with this gentleman and I won't hurt him."
"..." When Herza heard this, she couldn't help but rolled her eyes and cursed in her heart, idiot, I'm afraid he will hurt you...
