Sean shook his head and said: "You don't have to flatter me blindly. This is just a rough idea. There are still many difficulties in putting it into practice, such as the commission mechanism, such as risk assessment in the process of doing business, such as the reputation file promotion mechanism, such as benefits.
Benefits, such as accident investigation mechanisms, bounty mechanisms, etc., these cannot be just announced. Corresponding regulations must be formulated based on the actual situation. Only with a relatively complete system can this idea truly become a reality. But these things,
I can't help you. After all, I neither know the market situation of mercenaries nor your specific interests and risks. You can only rely on yourself for these."
"Haha... If the lord has finished everything, what else do you want us to do?" President Simon patted his chest and said, "Leave the rest to us. If we can't even handle this, then
I have no shame in sitting in this position."
"Yes, your lord has pointed out the direction for us. If we still can't do it well, we will betray your trust in us."
"We will take care of the specific operational matters ourselves, but we will need your lord's help to check it when the time comes."
"Lord, just wait and see. We will definitely not disappoint your expectations."
Several other presidents also stood up and made heroic statements.
Sean has already thought up the overall strategy for them. If they still can't do it well, then there really is a problem with their ability. It's better to give up the good guys as soon as possible to avoid delaying everyone's work.
"There is no doubt about the ability of all the presidents. The development of our chamber of commerce to this point is the best proof." Sean pressed his hands, made a gesture of asking to sit down, and added, "This matter is not
It cannot be done in one fell swoop. It needs to be done step by step. You can launch pilot projects based on the existing foundation. Once the feasibility is verified and the system is almost perfected, it will not be too late to fully launch it. After all, our main task now is to stabilize the current situation.
Our trading territory and the channels we have worked so hard to expand have become a wedding dress for others."
"There is no need to worry about this Lord. They are just a bunch of clowns. Seeing that we are making profits, they want to imitate our model, but it turns out that they can't do it at all. They only see a little bit of it and don't understand that we can really become stronger and bigger."
The reason." Jonathan turned to comfort Sean.
"Don't be so optimistic. Money moves people's hearts. The people who entered the market before were just a group of people with no foundation. If there is enough wealth involved, the lords and nobles will be jealous and put down their pretensions to enter. What if we have the advantage that the other party is
Not lacking at all, the cruelty and despicability of his methods are far beyond your imagination." What Sean is worried about is not the ordinary people, but the privileged class of this world.
Those lords and nobles really look down on the profession of businessmen, that is because they have not tasted the benefits from it.
Once they discover that the output is much higher than the output of the territory, it is time for them to enter the market on a large scale. Never overestimate their integrity.
The five Chamber of Commerce presidents looked at each other, as if they could see the fear in each other's eyes. These people from the lower class had a deep understanding of the ferocity and greed of the lords and nobles, and they had a fear deep in their bones.
I have been squeezed for too long.
Jonathan forced a smile and said: "Don't we still have the lord and the princess here?"
"We can help you with the overall situation, but it's difficult for us to help you with small and medium-sized private methods." Sean said meaningfully.
"Don't worry, Lord, we know what to do. It's just a matter of profit transfer. We will keep a low profile as much as possible in the future, and try our best to let those local lords and nobles get a share of the pie, so as to prevent or slow down their steps to make money and do business in person.
, You will get something if you give up!" Simon, who is still mature, was the first to understand Sean's hint.
"It's good that you can understand the truth. Eating alone is delicious, but it can easily attract more enemies. Don't be blinded by interests and hatred. We are called the Valesta Chamber of Commerce, not the Andis Chamber of Commerce. We sincerely do what we do
Business people, we can accept them with open arms." This is what Sean really wants to express.
Things have turned around, and now it is not the local businessmen who are arrogant and unwilling to join the Valesta Chamber of Commerce, but these descendants of the Andis people who have joined forces and want to monopolize the entire market by denying them such an opportunity.
But the problem is that many of the local businessmen are the spokesmen of the lords and nobles, working to make money for them.
Blindly shutting them out and annoying the people behind them, who knows what they will do.
"We know what to do, Lord." The five presidents nodded in understanding.
"I'm here today, and there's one more thing I want everyone to help with." Sean pointed out, believing that they are all smart people and should know what is the most correct thing to do. If they insist on seeking death, he can't save them.
"Lord, you are too ignorant. If you have any questions, please give me direct orders. No matter whether we can do it or not, we will do our best." Simon was the first to agree with a pat on his chest.
"Her Royal Highness Princess Sophia, you should already know the speech she gave in the Palace Square, right?" Sean asked.
"Of course, the whole of Valesta is talking about this matter now. This is a major matter related to the future of the Lancelot royal family and Valesta. I heard that this matter started because of the lord, which is terrible.
It has really given us Andis people a lot of face, and we can even find legendary creatures like griffins that have been missing for hundreds of years."
"We were among the crowd watching at that time and saw with our own eyes the grace of the Lord, His Royal Highness the Princess and His Highness the Prince."
"Your lord, you don't want to talk about the carnival in the next three days, do you?"
"That's right, it's about the carnival in the next three days. Since His Highness's decision was a bit hasty, the preparations are not particularly sufficient. There may be a shortage of manpower, food and drinks. I will need your help to share the pressure. But don't worry.
, the palace will be responsible for paying the bills for these three days." Sean said straight to the point.
"Lord, isn't this a slap in the face to us? It is our greatest honor to be able to serve Her Royal Highness the Princess. How can we ask the palace to reimburse us for things that we could not ask for before? Starting from tomorrow, all our business activities will be stopped.
Just concentrate on doing this one thing, no, start from now on, and then we will use as much strength as we have."
"It is our greatest honor that your lord can think of us. It's not too late for us to thank you!"
"Don't mention the bill. We can still afford this amount of consumption. Lord, just wait and see! We will never embarrass you."
Just as Sean predicted, the five presidents not only did not feel like they were being blackmailed, but all of them were flushed with excitement. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, an opportunity to get closer to the regent princess, although to some extent it was just
They are wishful thinking.
But this kind of good thing could not be obtained even if it was asked for in the past.
Sean was just being polite, but wasn't really prepared to take the bill.
In the end result, both parties were happy.
Sean gets the help he wants and will earn enough face in front of the regent princess.
The merchants of the Valesta Chamber of Commerce will get the opportunity to serve the Princess Regent. It may seem like a loss, but as a group of smart businessmen, they will make full use of this relationship to earn more, not necessarily money, but
It's something money can't buy, such as reputation and connections.
Sean declined the invitation of five chamber of commerce presidents to have dinner together. He had another thing to do, and he was ready to light a fire for this New Year's carnival and push it to a new level.
The reason why power is intoxicating is because your every move is no longer related to one person, but to the joys and sorrows of a group of people or even a city.
Sophilia's temporary decision allowed Valesta to enter the carnival atmosphere in advance.
After fermenting for most of the day, this atmosphere reached its peak at midnight when bakeries and taverns that were inextricably linked to the royal family all put up free signs. The citizens drank happily while shouting Sophie
The names of Prince Ya and Laurie.
At this moment, no matter whether they were dissatisfied with the rule of the Lancelot royal family in the past, they would not be stingy with their words of praise, because at this time, when they express their dissatisfaction in public, they usually do not wait until the bronze whistles to maintain law and order come to the door.
, those citizens who were drunk by the free drinks provided by the Lancelot royal family would first be dragged and beaten up.
Every year after the New Year's Carnival in Valesta, the security police prisons in various streets are filled with all kinds of drunks. To a certain extent, blood is also part of the carnival.
If there is any group of people in Valesta who dislikes the inherent festival of New Year's Carnival the most, then it belongs to the brass whistles of the city's security team. It is very difficult to maintain law and order in this behemoth.
Not to mention when people fall into fanaticism.
Every year during the New Year's carnival, their nerves are shattered.
When he heard that this year's carnival would last for three days and three nights, the captain of the city's security team almost burst into tears. It would cost him his life.
It is his duty to maintain law and order throughout the festival.
If it's not maintained well, if something bad happens, he won't be able to eat and move around. After sitting in this position for less than ten years, his hair has turned half gray. It's so pitiful that he is only forty-three years old this year.
When have you ever seen a peak knight who is only one step away from becoming a champion knight, and at the peak of his life, decline into this virtue before he gets old?
After these three days of carnival this year, I'm afraid he will have more gray hair.
Elijah vowed that as long as he got through this year safely, he would resign from the position of captain no matter what. Well, it was a good excuse to concentrate on fighting for the championship knight.
The premise is that he can get through it, otherwise it won't be a matter of him resigning, but being beaten to the end, which is a completely different matter.
After receiving the news that the New Year's Carnival turned from one day to three days, Captain Elijah rushed back to the headquarters as quickly as possible and was ready to fight here for three days and three nights. A series of orders were issued.
, the entire security team has been turned around by his command.
"Order all security officers to cancel their vacations and return to work. During this period, unless they die, as long as they can still crawl, they must stick to their posts for me. Each team leader shall arrange their duty hours. I want all posts to be on duty for 25 hours.
There are people who stick to it.”
"As you command, sir."
"Diff, please go to the city guard yourself and give me a message to General Cornell. No matter how dirty we are in normal times, we should put it down at this time and cooperate sincerely. Otherwise, if trouble occurs, our security team will certainly suffer.
If we don't go around in circles, the city guards can't get away with it either. We are all working for the royal family now."
"As you command, sir."
"Invite all the snakeheads and rat kings in the sewers to come back for tea and tell them that I don't care which Lord they are related to or who they are loyal to. They will be honest to me for these three days.
To truly be a good citizen, I not only do what I do, but also restrain the people below me from doing it. If they dare to cause any trouble for me, I will kill them first and tell them that I will do this before I am killed.
It's serious."
"As you command, sir."
"Send people to visit all the taverns and merchants. They usually earn enough. Now it's time to give back to the people. I hope they can respond to the royal call in the past three days and give free food and drinks to those citizens.
I, Elijah, will remember their kindness."
It was not a fluke that Elijah was able to sit in his current position and stay there for ten years. He was absolutely capable of adapting to changes. He must grasp the key points tightly.
While mobilizing all his subordinates, the other is to find the city guards as external aid, and then to attack the most unstable factors in the city. As long as they don't take the opportunity to cause trouble, the ordinary citizens alone will not cause any big troubles. At most, they will
If they drink too much and act drunkenly, they will be arrested and thrown into jail for three days. After they sober up, they will become honest.
The first three orders were obeyed by the security team soldiers with great enthusiasm, but no one dared to answer the last order.
"What? Is there a problem?" Elijah, who had not waited for a reply, raised his head and glanced at his subordinates. His fierce glare made people couldn't help but think of the wolf king in the wilderness, who seemed to be ready to pounce and bite him at any time.
their throats.
The captains looked at each other, and no one dared to respond easily.
A trusted captain replied bravely: "Sir, is it a bit hard to ask those shops to provide free food? If it is enforced, it will arouse public outrage. If it really breaks out, everyone will lose face."
Bang!
Elijah slammed the table and roared with saliva flying: "Forcing others to make things difficult? What do I call forcing people to make things difficult? How much oil and water have they usually looted from those citizens? What's wrong with asking them to shed some blood now? It's your first day here.
The security team? Don’t you know what is the biggest contradiction in the New Year’s Carnival every year?
Free food and drinks! Not enough free food and drinks is one of the biggest causes of unrest. Usually it only lasts for one day, but this time it is three days. Do you understand that three days is just a matter of the royal family?
Be prepared? Can it satisfy everyone’s appetite? If I don’t find a way to solve this problem, we won’t even know how we will die.”
Elijah almost burst into flames. The decision the Princess Regent made this time was so thoughtless. When she opened her mouth, how much trouble would the people below suffer?
But no matter how much resentment he has in his heart, he can only do it honestly, but the people below will follow him and sneer, which is like stabbing his lungs.
Although he knew that the other party was about to explode, the confidant captain still had to continue to bite the bullet and said: "It's okay for ordinary retail traders, they have to give our security team some face, but the Dawn Tavern and Valesta
The Chamber of Commerce is a bit troublesome, they all belong to the property of Yongye Military Leader, and Baron Yongye can speak in front of the two His Highnesses."
This confidant captain's words were clear, and his meaning was very clear, that is, his backstage was too tough, and we couldn't afford to offend him.
"I don't care whether he is Baron Yongye or Earl Yongye. At this time, the overall situation must be the most important thing. If they dare to say no, believe it or not, I will personally lead the team every day to cause trouble for them and let them know who is here.
After all, this is Valesta, not their remote mountains, and a bunch of bastards dare to join forces to challenge me."
As the captain of the Valesta Security Team, how could Villa not know the doorway inside and need other people to remind him, but the problem is that he is now forced into a corner.
