Chapter 354: Candy
The reason for the fight?
The two camps looked at each other, and for a while they didn't know how to describe it.
After hesitating for a moment, the owner of the paper company, Carpenter Hornburg, took a deep breath and said slowly: "Your Excellency, the matter is like this,
Our Hornburg Paper Company had previously purchased the woodland around the town of Lower Antimony to develop the local paper industry..."
Before he could finish speaking, someone in the fancy dress camp interrupted him loudly and rudely.
"Liars with a mouth full of lies!"
A girl with a low appearance and a face painted with black oil paint, stood under the tree, glared at him and shouted, "What right do you have to buy this woodland?"
All the resources in this land are not owned by small towns, individuals or companies, but belong to all the creatures living on the land!
You are using a rotten, old-fashioned, domineering, self-talking attitude to engage in a transaction that you have no jurisdiction over. β
"Actually, we do."
The owner of the paper company cleared his throat, as if he had been prepared for a long time, took out a stack of paper documents from his coat pocket, put them in his hand, and held them up for everyone to see.
"We have an official seal of the purchase of forest land in Antimony Town, a full set of factory operation qualification certificates, an excellent operating record, and we have also passed the factory pollution audit recently issued by the environmental protection department of the Kingdom of Rune.
It is enough to prove that our paper industry will not cause serious ecological damage in violation of laws and regulations, and will not affect the normal production life and health of surrounding residents. β
"So what?"
The girl said angrily, "Don't you know that there are countless experts who admit that atmospheric warming is gradually becoming a serious problem that needs to be solved by all living beings around the world?
Don't you know that protecting forests and the forest ecosystem is a great contribution we can make for future generations?
You only think about the human inhabitants, but you never think about the poor and cute little creatures that inhabit this forest.
They watched the rude lumberjacks, with tools they didn't recognize, cut down the trees on which they depended like heads,
The forests are wailing, the earth is weeping, and you are only concerned about the immediate economic interests! β
The boss of the paper company glanced at her and said coldly: "Let's not talk about whether the warming of the atmosphere you are talking about is a real problem, the 'poor and cute little lives' you are referring to,
Is it the forest dire wolf that has caused hundreds of injuries in the past two decades?
Or is it the poisonous and murderous forest black-winged poisonous bee?
Or is it a giant silver fox hare that has too strong reproductive ability and frantically squeezes the ecological niche, and has been included in the 'list of recommended beasts for the whole people'?
Dear Miss Blackface? β
The girl was speechless for a while, but then she took it for her own cowardice, and the next second she regained her strength, ready to teach the yin and yang paper mill owner a lesson.
Seeing that the two sides were about to fall into an inefficient verbal exchange again, Li Ang glanced at them coldly with a pestle and sickle, and said indifferently: "What I asked was the reason for your fight, you only need to tell me this." β
Faced with the bright blade of the sickle, both sides wisely chose to stop scolding each other.
The owner of the paper mill coughed, put away the papers, suppressed his anger and continued: "Your Excellency, my father, Khalid Hornburg, was born in the town of Antimony, he left home at a young age, worked alone in a foreign land, and established his own Hornburg Paper Company.
Own your own business.
As a well-respected entrepreneur, he has always wanted to give back to his hometown and help it get out of poverty.
Inheriting his legacy and career, I took my team to my hometown of Antimony, and it took us two months to finalize the construction of the factory, which is expected to provide 270 jobs for the town in the future, and thousands of gold coins in tax revenue, making Antimony Town Paper Company the largest paper supplier in the southern part of the Kingdom of Rune.
Everything went perfectly until this group of people dressed in quirky decorations arrived. β
He pointed to the strange-dressed man opposite, pursed his lips, and said in a deep voice: "They claim to be the children of the forest, an extremely extreme environmental protection group,
For the past few years, they have been roaming the borders of several kingdoms in the name of defending the forests, causing terror.
For example, smashing lumberjack camps, gathering forests to live, punching tree nails, releasing toxic organisms on the edge of woodlands, destroying factories, destroying mining and logging facilities, threatening to kidnap the owners of woodland development companies,
He even infiltrated the homes of some parliamentarians who encouraged the rational development and utilization of forest resources in poor areas, beheaded the horses of the parliamentarians, and put the horse's head next to the parliamentarians' pillows to show threats.
A week ago, the children of the forest came to Antimony and tried to induce the people to protest, but everyone knew what was at stake and drove them out of town.
Of course, there are also some teenagers who are unfortunately bewitched by them.
These sons of the forest have usurped the woodlands and used all kinds of evil and vicious methods to hinder the establishment of paper factories. β
"Slander, outright slander."
The girl of the Children of the Forest blushed and waved the wolf's tooth wooden stick with dense barbs in her hand, and scolded angrily: "We are a non-profit public welfare organization, with flat management,
Some of the protests that seem radical in the eyes of the world are not our doing, but the radicals of the Children of the Forest.
The brothers and sisters of the Children of the Forest who are here now have a positive purpose, are peaceful and kind, and will never do anything that hurts the heavens and reason.
On the contrary, it was you who burst into our camp today without saying a word, disturbing our solemn celebration! β
"When they talk about a celebration, they are actually a group of people dressed in primitive costumes, standing in a circle around a campfire, holding hands, singing and dancing to the music of xun and pan flutes, and throwing mud at each other's faces."
The paper mill owner explained in a whisper, and Leon noddedβhe could see slight mud marks on many of the Sons of the Forest's faces.
"The reason why I brought people into the celebration, you know, don't shy away from that."
The owner of the paper mill took a deep breath, stared at each other with angry eyes, and said sharply: "Last night, you kidnapped my son Hans and daughter Gretel!" β
The appearance of these two names made Leon's eyes shine, which is the name of the main character in the fairy tale written by the Brothers Grimm, the famous Adventure of the Candy House.
