Williams looked suave and not aggressive at all. But he really forced the people of the Dye Association to make a choice.

Not only was Carlton angry and irritated, but so were the rest of the Dye Guild.

Impotent rage.

Impotent rage.

The choice Williams gave was a choice, but he didn't have a choice at all.

"Mr. Williams and Mr. Drake, please wait. Carlton's face squeezed out an extremely ugly smile. Rushing out with the rest of the Dye Guild, Williams and Drake were the only ones left in the room.

"Is it going to be a little too much?" Drake asked.

Monopoly businesses are indeed lucrative, but they are also risky.

For a middle-aged person like Drake, don't look at what he says, but he still wants to be stable in his heart.

Although the money for synthetic dyes has expanded far and wide, is it really good to anger so many people because of this?

Williams picked up his coffee and took a sip, the bitter taste hitting his spirits a little more.

He looked at Drake and shook his head slightly, not knowing what he was sighing.

"Captain, my teacher said, 'If you seek peace through struggle, you will live in peace, and if you seek peace through compromise, you will be peaceful and forgetful.' ’

We have the technology, we have the force, and they will negotiate with us.

Are these businessmen of the Dye Association little sheep?

If we give in, will they make us take another ten steps back when we give in.

The world looks dazzling, but in the end, it's all about strength.

I think you understand that, don't you?"

Williams said.

Captain Drake didn't agree with Williams so easily.

He understands the reason, but if he understands the reason, it is not the same thing as whether he will do it or not.

He's the captain, yes.

But he's just Captain Drake.

There are just a few small offshore boats that roam the coast of New England with small captains.

He wasn't the old captain of Vanderbilt, and besides, the old captain was now ashore.

It is said that when a person swells, his highest achievement in this life will be here.

That's right, Carlton's nephew, Gilbert, owned a small factory and was already inflated like a pufferfish.

However, Williams felt that if a person did not swell, if he lost his enterprising spirit, his highest achievement in this life would still be here.

He looked at Drake, the captain in the prime of life, and wondered if he would ask the teacher to find other better collaborators when he returned to New Haven.

Or...... Build a fleet yourself.

Drake looked at Williams' appearance and muttered in his heart, "Young." ”

The two remaining people in the conference room had their own ideas in their heads.

At the end of the hallway, in another room, there was a lot of noise.

"Can't agree! Can't agree! Does that little imp think of him as God? What does he think of us again? Gentle and lovely little sheep?"

"No, what if he really does what he says he does?"

"Then let's fight! There are so many of us, what are we afraid of?"

"But ......"

"Nothing!"

……

"Alright!" Carlton shouted.

A group, as long as it encounters pressure, will be divided into two factions, the main battle faction and the surrender faction. The greater the pressure, the clearer and more extreme the separation between the two factions.

"We want to be united!" Carlton emphasized.

Although he was shouting for unity, he did not believe that all the members of the Dye Association would really unite.

What is missing, what is shouted.

Now, just a negotiation has divided the representatives of the members of the Dye Association into two factions.

If......

If the struggle really begins.

Carleton is confident that someone in the Dye Guild will turn against Doug Claydon's nasty imp.

Even...... Even the defection is scrambling.

Because, the first to defect, the more you can sell yourself for a good price.

The composition of the membership of the North American Dyestuff Association does not seem complicated.

There were factory owners, plantation owners, and people like him who were in charge of transportation.

Before the emergence of Doug Claydon, everyone was in the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, and acted as a link between the upstream and downstream.

If it is described in a ruined word, it is "coexistence and co-prosperity", which is a relationship between prosperity and loss.

The industry associations of this era are basically the same.

However, Doug Claydon showed up with a damn synthetic dye.

Plantation owners, who grow plants that produce natural dyes. The emergence of synthetic dyes, even if they do not squeeze them into the garbage heap of history, will greatly encroach on the market that originally belonged to them.

Therefore, they must be strangled with Doug Claydon.

This is not the case with factory owners. There is no harm without contrast. When there are no synthetic dyes, there are only natural dyes, and no matter what the price is, you have to accept it.

However, when synthetic dyes are available, the price of natural dyes is unusually high.

They joined the Dye Association in order to obtain dyes more stably and at a lower price.

And now, Williams says they're going to form the Pan American Dye Association, why won't they surrender and Doug?

As for intermediate transporters like Carlton, they are relatively neutral, but also more subtle.

It seems that natural dyes are also transported, and synthetic dyes are also transported.

However, compared with natural dyes, synthetic dyes are no longer affected by the origin and climate, and a variety of colors can be synthesized in a small factory.

The complexity and distances of transportation are greatly reduced and shortened.

Even, in large-scale industrial agglomeration areas that require dyes, factories can be set up directly nearby.

In this way, the attributes of their intermediaries are greatly reduced. The factory can even sell directly from the factory without middlemen.

In this way, the transporters represented by Carlton are naturally neutral and biased towards the main battle.

But......

It's not that simple.

Transporters are not the same as plantation owners.

There are a lot of things that can be transported by the ship, and once it is moored in the port, it can be replaced with different goods.

But unlike plantations, dye crops have to be allowed to grow even if they are uprooted and planted with other crops.

The cost of changing the direction of operation is different, and the intensity of the main battle is naturally different.

Therefore......

Transporters don't have to be that tough.

Williams's side has fewer entanglements of interests and can speak casually, but Carlton's side must take into account the respective interests of the three parties and glue the three parties together to avoid the collapse of the North American Dye Association.

But......

How easy is that?

The members who quarreled and quarreled, no one obeyed anyone.

The Dye Society, it seems, is like a broken ship that has leaked.

Carlton looked immobile on the surface, and sighed in his heart, this association is coming to an end!
