Chapter 37: Pros and Cons

In a tavern in the big market, ordinary conversations are still going on.

"No, there is another situation, except that you back down, or they back down, and there is a reconciliation between the two sides, I think we can work hard, I don't want to have a stiff relationship with you...... No, I see. Lu En interrupted himself halfway through his words.

One thing came to his mind.

The Chamber of Commerce has four decision-makers, the city's guild leaders, namely the Stonemasons' Guild, the Adventurers' Guild, the Inn and Wine Industries' Guild, and the Brotherhood of Labor and Carriage Transport.

The Stonemasons Guild unites the city's craftsmen, construction workers, and the middle class of the city, who control a large number of handicraft workshops, mills, and a group of apprentices, and it can be said that half of the city was built by them.

The Adventurer's Guild is relatively simple and straightforward, they are the armed support of the United Chamber of Commerce, as a distribution center for adventurers, they have considerable prestige among the local combat professionals, that Aili is an adventurer, for a single adventurer, looking for a job, arguing with an employer, and collecting intelligence are all very troublesome, but with the guild, it is equivalent to having a perfect place to rest, share the fruits of adventures with others, collect rumors, and meet with employers, In addition, the guild will also send other members of an adventuring party to search for it after a long time has not returned, in the hope of rescue, or collect relics.

Because of this initiative, many adventurers who were in a desperate situation were saved their lives, so they trusted the existence of the guild even more, so there were quite a lot of members among them, and a large number of loyal members were also there.

The innkeepers and liquor industry owners control quite a lot of news channels, it can be said that half of the city's hotels are their eyes, and they also have a group of bags of inquiries and travel guides to ensure that outsiders live in their hotels.

The Labor and Carriage Transport Association is the grassroots of the United Chamber of Commerce, and it is also the source of many of its forces, it is an association of unskilled, low-paid manual laborers who unite and support each other, after all, individual laborers have little practical impact, but if it is a large labor union, it can be quite respected, after all, no one wants the workers in the whole city to be unwilling to take their own work, even the moving needs to do it themselves, these laborers also set up transportation associations, willing to pay for the transportation services, the city's carriage drivers, Couriers, newsboys, and delivery men were quite a few members of the Labor Association, which had always been committed to maintaining the price of manual labor in the city and not making the fruits of its members' labor too cheap.

These four organizations, the four largest forces of the United Chamber of Commerce, are united to stand up to the Hall of Glow as it also has its own artisans, logistics, newspapers, hotels, and private armed forces.

The Hall of Glow is almost as powerful as the four major guilds combined, and only they can barely compete with the United Chamber of Commerce, which together divide the vast majority of the city's market, with only a few scattered independent shops outside the struggle.

The Hall of Glow has always wanted to monopolize the commercial market of Larante, for which they chose the upper route, Jurahir himself is a member of the city council, the city council has a total of 46 seats, the people of the Hall of Glow occupy 19, and the rest are the seats of the local nobles, and the consul of Larante is also a strong backup of the Hall of Gloss, so it can be said that the entire bureaucracy of Larante is on the side of the Hall of Gloss.

Because of this way, in formulating policies and suppressing the people through the upper echelons, the Hall of Glow has a unique advantage, the last conflict, that is, when the Masons Association violently clashed with the guards because of high taxes, it was obvious that Yurahir put forward a proposal to increase taxes behind his back, and used his influence to make the proposal pass, forcing the Masons Association to protest violently, and finally a clever stone smashed to death the leader of the Masons Association, if it wasn't for the boss lady, I'm afraid that the United Chamber of Commerce will be greatly damaged.

The purpose of the Hall of Glow is to eliminate the United Chamber of Commerce and make himself the sole master of the commercial capital of Larante, so Jurahir will not tolerate the continued existence of the United Chamber of Commerce, there is no possibility of reconciliation between the two sides, and the strong dragon of the Hall of Glow is to use hard power to eat the United Chamber of Commerce.

In order to confront such a Hall of Radiance, what strategies will the United Chamber of Commerce employ? Lu En can conclude with a little contemplation, which is actually quite simple.

First of all, it is unity, absolute unity, the enemy is present, they must be united enough, and this unity is reflected in intelligence sharing, unity of interests, consistency with foreign countries, resource consultation, and so on.

As far as he could see, Lu En wondered at first, why did this proprietress come to run a tavern as the leader of the Stonemasons' Guild, and seemed to be doing it very seriously?

But after thinking about it, he realized that this was to make the four decision-makers understand each other's difficulties and be able to consider the problems of the guild from the perspective of the managers, which was the first element of unity, and if they could not understand each other, there would be no unity at all.

For the sake of this unity, there must be no internal divisions, not only among the four decision-makers, but also among the newsboys, innkeepers, stonemasons, construction workers, laborers and coachmen, adventurers, and so on.

Therefore, even if the proprietress knows the inside story, the other three decision-makers know the inside story, and these people with brains know about Lu En's situation, but the people below don't know.

Soon, rumors will flow throughout the market, and 100% of them are spread by Yurahir himself, saying that Lu En beat the adventurers of the United Chamber of Commerce in the big market, this Lu En is said to be in the same group as the people in the Hall of Radiance, and many people have seen him and Yurahir walk together intimately.

Then, the middle-level cadres of the United Chamber of Commerce will start to investigate the matter, and they will find that it is true, conclusive, and true, and then they will come to the decision-makers, hoping that the decision-makers will analyze the pros and cons and come up with ideas.

And then, what happens?

In order to maintain the unity of the group, it is necessary to appease these people, the correct way for the United Chamber of Commerce is to draw a line with itself, and even teach itself a small lesson, it is unlikely that it will completely turn the other cheek with itself, but the alliance will definitely be in vain, because he has been branded as the Hall of Radiance, in order to maintain such unity, he cannot accept people with the brand of the Hall of Radiance, even if the decision-makers know that all this is useless, not everyone will think about it so much.

This is what Yurahir does and thinks, after being treated like this, Lu En's only way is to completely fall to Yurahir, even if he is unwilling, he can only do so, because it is not a question of whether he is willing or not, but because interests are the first priority, personal grievances are really irrelevant, Yurahir knows what Lu En will choose.

Lu En frowned, this is really difficult to do.
