Sean gave a thumbs up to the five chamber of commerce presidents and said, "Your awareness has far surpassed that of most of the nobles and nobles of the Byron Alliance."
"It's not that our consciousness is high, but that the Lord's teachings are good. Before following the Lord, we didn't have such a high vision and consciousness." President Simon took the opportunity to compliment.
"Okay, don't flatter me here." Sean smiled and shook his head and said, "Put yourself together and follow me to meet His Excellency Grand Duke Cedric. As long as you can continue to maintain this consciousness, this matter
The matter is settled."
"With the lord helping us steer the ship, there will be no problem."
"My lord, please come first."
Sean is very satisfied with the performance of the Valesta Chamber of Commerce. These people are not self-inflated and forgetful of themselves due to the rapid development of the Chamber of Commerce. On the contrary, they seem to have become more humble.
Not only in front of Sean, but also in front of other people.
There are all kinds of words slandering the Valesta Chamber of Commerce from the outside, but there are very few that target their character.
Because when most of them do business, they stick to the principles of not hitting the smiling faces, genuine goods, large portions, high quality and low prices, etc.
For such a businessman, even the most unreasonable person would have a hard time finding fault with him.
The fact that they have such a custom is only partly due to the Yongye military leader's advocacy, and the simple folk customs also account for a small part of the reason.
The real reason is that most of them started from humble beginnings, and their edges have long been smoothed by life. In the process of doing business in the past, they have developed similar habits and have not lost them as they grew bigger.
The development and growth of anything is not caused by a single element. There are many seemingly inconspicuous small factors that also play an indispensable role.
The growth of the Valesta Chamber of Commerce is no exception.
If they were like those unscrupulous businessmen with the support of nobles and nobles, they would bully and dominate the market if they had a little bit of ability.
Without anyone else taking action, Sean was the first to take them down, because that was ruining the reputation of the leader of the Yongye Army.
The kind of unscrupulous businessman who resorts to deception and abduction for temporary gain is the stupidest guy. His business is destined to not last long, and the real profits he can earn are limited.
The kind of businessmen who appear to be at a loss on the surface are the ones who make a fortune in silence and become stronger and bigger inadvertently.
This is the basic quality of all business personnel under the Yong Ye Army Leader. Sometimes Sean values credibility over profit. The brand needs to be carefully maintained.
The leader of the Yongye Army is now an out-and-out golden sign. Anyone who dares to smash his sign will be in trouble with him.
The Valesta Chamber of Commerce's lavish spending shocked not only Archduke Cedric, but also Sean. The total value was incomparable to the nearly 10 million royal gold coin munitions gift package Sean sent last night, but
More than two million gold coins in supplies cannot be obtained by just any force. In recent years, the Grand Duke's family has provided single-family support to Broken Mouth Blood Castle, not even half of theirs.
This also reflects from the side how rich the Valesta Chamber of Commerce has accumulated in the past two years, and has quietly become an underwater giant.
This greatly changed Archduke Cedric's impression of businessmen who were only interested in profit. Sometimes the conscience of these people was higher than that of the lords and nobles.
The meaning of this military supplies is also different from that of Yongye Army Leader. The latter has its own interests and will never give things away for free, but will get them back from other sources.
The Valesta Chamber of Commerce also represents their recognition and gratitude to Broken Blood Castle and the Strachey family for everything they have done.
You can tell by looking at their products. They are obviously the result of fundraising. There is very little money in them, and most of them are physical goods, and they are of all kinds.
From military supplies such as weapons, armor, and rations, to daily necessities such as needlework and condiments, they are all available, especially the latter. Just looking at the list, you can tell that they are pieced together bit by bit by one from the east and one from the west.
, which contains not only the contributions of the merchants of the Valesta Chamber of Commerce, but also the thoughts of ordinary employees.
There are very few things in this world that can move Grand Duke Cedric, and this gift list is definitely one of them.
This was recognition of everything they had done and the true meaning of their holding on to the defense line of Broken Blood Fort. This was the best gift he had received during this trip.
With this, even if he gets nothing from other grand duke families, he is still satisfied.
Not to mention, the Yong Ye Army Leader had already prepared a big surprise for him.
When it came to the issue of mutual trade at the border, the Valesta Chamber of Commerce's attitude was even more generous and unbelievably generous. They always thought of Archduke Cedric and the Broken Blood Castle, and even took the initiative to give up most of their interests.
The proportional figures involved made the person involved, Archduke Cedric, feel embarrassed, let alone take the initiative to increase the price.
This is not a business negotiation at all, it is simply a profit-sharing negotiation.
In this case, there is no business that cannot be negotiated.
The reason for this special situation is not surprising if you think about it carefully.
The army of the Duankou Xuebao is the guarantee for the border trade. Only if they are strong enough, the border trade can continue. Otherwise, merchants like them will be fat sheep delivered to their doorsteps when they go to the border.
Especially when they heard that the Odin Prairie was about to fall into a state of war, they insisted on this. The strong defenders of the Broken Mouth Blood Castle would be beneficial to them.
What's more, the Valesta Chamber of Commerce has a bigger goal, to form a mercenary chamber of commerce with retired soldiers from the Broken Blood Fort. As long as it has enough trustworthy mercenaries, the Valesta Chamber of Commerce will no longer be just a Valesta chamber of commerce.
The Chamber of Commerce and the entire Byron Alliance can become their market.
The interests involved are much larger than a border trade market. After all, prosperity is the foundation of commerce. In this regard, the Byron Alliance is many times stronger than the Odin Orcs.
The five presidents' little calculations were making a lot of noise.
Anything can basically be implemented if the assistance is greater than the resistance. The greater the ratio between the two, the faster the execution speed.
This is the case with border trade.
The night before, Sean had hastily thrown out this idea in order to save himself.
The next day, Archduke Cedric finalized a cooperation agreement with the presidents of the Valesta Chamber of Commerce.
On the third day, the Valesta Chamber of Commerce started to get busy, and countless goods were ready to be loaded onto the truck to go to the Broken Blood Castle.
Some of these goods are materials that the Valesta Chamber of Commerce is preparing to give to Brokenhead Blood Castle, and some are goods that have been taken to the border to test the waters.
They prepared these goods twice and could sell them to the Odin Orcs for huge profits. That would be the best thing.
If it can't be sold, it can be resold and given to Broken Mouth Blood Castle, which will not be a loss in favor. Even if the border trade cannot be started, the mercenary model of the Valesta Chamber of Commerce will be launched smoothly, which is a certainty.
This is a mutually beneficial matter with Blood Castle, and there is no reason why Archduke Cedric can stop it.
The entire process will be escorted by the Broken Blood Cavalry brought by Archduke Cedric. No matter how fierce the gangster is, they have to stay away, otherwise the gods of death will not mind killing them easily.
As soon as this was finalized, Sean immediately returned to the Yongye Army Leader.
This matter can be left to the Valesta Chamber of Commerce. Once the border trade is opened, the Yongye Army will be able to enjoy the benefits and simply send the goods in the territory down the river.
After all, they are taking the commodity export route and have no plans to get involved in commodity transportation for the time being.
As soon as Sean landed, he immediately asked Ralph, who came to greet him, "How is the investigation of the matter that I asked you to investigate thoroughly?"
What he was talking about was nothing else, but the matter of General Arnold. After receiving the news from Archduke Cedric, Sean was relaxed at the outside and tightened at the inside. He immediately sent a letter to Ralph, asking them to attack the leader of the Yongye Army.
Thoroughly investigate, especially those key departments.
Ralph's face was obviously a bit ugly, and he answered truthfully: "The thorough investigation is still in progress. It is true that many rats have sneaked in. Not only are they cunning, but their personal strength is usually not weak. Four of them have been discovered so far.
A suspicious target, but the people they infiltrated were all secondary departments, so I didn't touch them. I'll see if there is any chance in the future to use them to spread false information. However, there is no General Arnold inside, but one thing is certain, he did enter.
We have territory. He once accidentally showed up in the Twin Cities, and there has been no whereabouts of him since. I will continue to follow up on this matter. I need to review this matter. I was negligent..."
"Okay, I'm not here to listen to your nonsense. It's useless to talk about it. It's better to find a way to prevent this matter." Sean waved his hand to interrupt Ralph's self-examination.
Ralph opened his mouth and could only nod: "I will find a way."
There is no way to prevent this kind of thing. This sentence was swallowed back in the stomach.
You can only commit a thief in a thousand days, but there is no way to prevent a thief in a thousand days.
The leader of the Yongye Army now has a great career, and more and more people are staring at them.
As a senior executive, Ralph knew very well how many good things they had in their hands. A single piece of black powder had already made all the powerful forces jealous. When the cannon at the end of the development stage was fired, they would all go crazy. The Great Knight
Don't throw it away like money.
At that time, the biggest test for their intelligence defense system will come.
Everything has two sides.
The Andis Crater is a huge natural barrier to ordinary people, but it is also an excellent place to hide dirt and evil.
The Yongye Army's control mainly revolves around the Jacob River, Sandong River, Andis Basin and Andis Inland Lake, which are low areas suitable for living.
If viewed from the air, these areas account for less than one-fifth of the entire Andis crater.
Not to mention those towering mountains and deep mountains and old forests, they can't even take care of some small valleys and ravines.
There is no way, the land is vast and the people are sparse.
Up to now, the development and utilization rate of the Andis Basin, which is most suitable for farming in the Yongye Army, is only 50%. How can it have the energy to develop the mountains that are more difficult to utilize?
Limited by manpower at the beginning, the Jingshan led by the Yongye Army could not be said to be very thorough. Every year, wild Andis people who don’t know what year it is today emerge from the deep mountains and old forests and become the leaders of the Yongye Army.
of additional new population.
If those spies try to get inside, there will be nothing the Yong Ye Army leader can do.
Sean didn't pay close attention to this matter. He basically thought of everything Ralph could think of. In this matter, they are the passive party. There is nothing they can do with their personnel alone.
When the black technology in the field of magic comes up in the future, we will see if we can start from this aspect.
"It is an impossible task for ordinary people to dig out a champion knight who is hiding out. However, we cannot allow such a big rat to stay in our own home. Since there is no way to dig him out,
Just lure him away." Sean threw a method that he had considered over and over again to Ralph, "Let him out in the territory and say that the West Odin Empire is preparing to launch a full-scale war against the East Odin Empire."
"I understand!" Ralph's eyes lit up.
He had just supplemented the information about Arnold and knew that this romantic man had a strong duality, including an irresponsible side and a super responsible side.
In one point, he is quite similar to Archduke Cedric, that is, he regards the Strachey family and the fight against the Odin orcs as his responsibility.
Normally, he can have fun with Archduke Cedric without any scruples, but now that it's time for war, he's probably more anxious than anyone else.
"Do you need me to add some sharp information to make the current situation of Broken Blood Castle more miserable?" Ralph asked for instructions.
"Don't act recklessly. What you are facing this time is an old fox who has experienced many battles. His sense of smell is beyond imagination. If you exaggerate, it will be easy for him to detect something. In fact, our large-scale search has already
If you try to alert the enemy, the other party will only hide deeper." Sean shook his head and rejected Ralph's proposal, "Don't be too deliberate about disseminating information, just do it through newspapers and bulletin boards at grassroots units."
"What should I do if the other party can't see me?" Ralph asked worriedly.
"Can't you see? If you can't see it, the opponent doesn't deserve to be called the Spear of the God of War. A person's victory once or twice can be attributed to luck. If it happens like this every time, it's not as simple as luck." Sean responded to this point.
Not worried, "As long as he is dormant in our territory, we will definitely see him."
"Understood, I know what to do." Ralph accepted the order.
"How are the preparations for the Odin Grassland information I asked you to compile?" Sean looked away from Arnold. Although this matter is likely to cause serious leaks from the Yongye Army leader, compared to Yongye
The entire future layout of the military leader is a trivial matter.
Regarding the news on the Odin Prairie, it was impossible for Sean to believe Archduke Cedric's words. After all, there were many things involved and it was necessary to verify it from many sources. You couldn't be too careful.
The layout of the Eternal Night Army on the Odin Prairie is incomparable to the Broken Blood Fortress, but it is not a blank slate either. There is no problem in carefully verifying the information based on the information that has been obtained.
"The information we have collected on the two Odin empires in the past few years is all here." Ralph pulled out a thick pile of information from the briefcase, "The information is correct, all traces are showing
The West Odin Empire is preparing for war with all its strength, and the East Odin Empire was in chaos last year, and the possibility of a full-scale invasion is over 95%."
"Yeah!" Sean nodded to show that he already knew, "What about the caravan?"
"Five of the troops that were in preparation have been stopped, three of them have been sent out not long ago, and recall orders have been issued. The remaining six have penetrated deep into the prairie. Although recall orders have been issued to them, can they return before the war begins?
It's still unknown." Ralph replied.
"Send them a new recall order and ask them to adopt the principle of proximity. Those who are close to the territory will return to the territory. Those who are close to the Byron Alliance will go directly to the Byron Alliance. As long as they reveal their identities, someone will pick them up. When necessary, discard them
For goods, the guarantor is the main one." Sean added.
For the sake of military supplies worth tens of millions, Archduke Cedric shouldn't mind helping with this small favor.
"Understood." Ralph nodded while recording.
"All the generals have arrived."
"Everyone is here."
"Including General Dixon and Chief of Staff Ben Hebrew?"
"Not only General Dikron and Chief of Staff Ben Hebrew, but also the two leaders of the Cliff Clan, Locke and Yale, also came together."
"Then inform them to attend the next military meeting together." Sean said directly.
Although the Duanya Clan did not swear allegiance to the Yongye Army Leader like the Crocodile Clan, the subordinate relationship between the two parties had already emerged from the moment the Duanya Clan accepted the military assistance from the Yongye Army Leader.
This situation is becoming more and more obvious as the pressure brought by Kentana barbarians continues to increase.
Because once the Yongye Army leader withdraws, it will only take a matter of minutes for them to be annexed by the Kentana barbarians.
