Recently, Charles didn't have much money, so he could save it, and he still paid for the accommodation in Florence City, and after Artoria left, he only looked for those cheap places to eat every day.

But Ah Fu is here, and he is talking about business, so naturally he will eat whatever is expensive.

In the most luxurious restaurant in the city of Florence, Charles in the box didn't even look at the menu, and said to the waiter, "Pick the most expensive one on the menu." ”

Ah Fu sat across from him and smiled silently.

So Charles enjoyed a seafood dinner tonight.

The shell of a lobster is cut from the back, and the meat inside is sprinkled with a little white wine, white pepper and salt, and then it is baked in the oven.

While eating lobster meat, Charles asked Ah Fu, "How is the situation at the Gleason Chamber of Commerce, are you sure to buy it?"

Ah Fu drank white wine and said, "Today is basically the deal, and the other party is in a hurry to get out of the Chamber of Commerce." According to the master's wishes, I will acquire 90 percent of the shares of the Chamber of Commerce in the form of a debt-to-equity swap, and the other 10 points of shares belong to the craftsmen of the Chamber of Commerce. ”

Charles swallowed a mouthful of lobster meat, and then said, "Then do it, settle this matter tomorrow, and get the formalities done as soon as possible." The shares of the ten points remain as they are, do you have any recommendations for the next person to preside over the Chamber of Commerce. ”

As a result, Ah Fu shook his head, and he said, "Master, we have no one to take charge of alone, and the grapes are presiding over the purchase of wool on the savannah. ”

Now Charles is facing a very embarrassing situation, that is, his family has not expanded, so that the talent in the family is just enough. In the disaster four years ago, the talents cultivated for Charles's generation were almost wiped out, and now they can only rely on the older generation of Ah Fu and Aunt Pomegranate to take the lead.

Among the surviving new generation of talents, the only one who can take the lead is Aunt Pomegranate's youngest son, Grape, who was away with the caravan led by Ah Fu at the time.

If the normal course continues, he will be the head of the future Maccaden family caravan.

Now the wool business was the top priority of the Maccaden family, so Grape was sent to the savannah to preside over the business, and Ah Fu was in charge of the general direction at home.

If Charles were to set up a base in Fiorentina City, he would face the dilemma of not having reliable personnel to preside over the overall situation.

As for the less reliable manpower...... Charles leaned back in his chair with his wine glass and thought, how many such people he could find.

First of all, the families of the comrades-in-arms in the 168th Brigade of the Elf Army, many of them are people in the mall, and it is not impossible to invite them to take charge.

But humans are a bit sensitive to this, and they don't want to have a long-lived race like elves enter their own business field to take charge of themselves, and at most let elves participate as technicians.

The second is the guy from Adonis, who was psychologically shadowed by Charles in Corn City.

He is now employed by Charles to lead the construction of the Peace Mall in Greentown, and Charles has decided to let him sit there when the mall opens next year.

The third is Yamada Hakamitsu, who is now trying to earn money for air tickets back to the east from the Rurik Kingdom, and this guy still owes Charles and Diana a lot of money.

Charles felt that it was not impossible to use financial means to get him to do things for himself.

It's just that these are all backup options, and Charles needs to think about it a little more before making a decision.

He said to Ah Fu, "Then you first complete the acquisition of the Gleason Chamber of Commerce, and the person in charge here will find a way again." ”

"After the acquisition is completed, you will sit here for a while and take stock of the assets of the Chamber of Commerce. ”

"After the acquisition of the Chamber of Commerce, there will be elves who will come in as technicians, and you will have to cooperate with their work. ”

Ah Fu knew Charles's most fundamental intention in acquiring this chamber of commerce, and he nodded solemnly.

Charles and Ah Fu belong to the kind of detectives who are blind in investigation and intelligence work, Charles knows that he can't be a detective like Edogawa Conan and Hattori Heiji, he will only do the way of "Today's Statement", so he left the work of finding the source of the feather fan and the ancestral necklace to the professionals of the Elven Court.

After dinner, Charles handed a parchment booklet to Ah Fu and said, "This is the new name of the chamber of commerce, the logo and the new products we are going to launch next, you have a bottom in your heart." ”

Ah Fu took the booklet and saw the new name of the Chamber of Commerce written on the cover - Joyoung Chamber of Commerce, and the logo of the Chamber of Commerce was a pattern of nine suns arranged like the mahjong pai nine cylinders.

Charles won't say that this is to commemorate Diana and her father Zhang Xucai to drum up the name and trademark of the Chamber of Commerce.

The core technology of the Chamber of Commerce still comes from Intel Corporation, but on the surface, it seems that those core components are imported from the Elven Tree Sea, and no one will have any doubts about Charles's identity.

The company's products are meat grinders, soybean milk machines, steamed bun machines, noodle machines, pressure cookers, kettles, water purifiers and other household products, as well as building water supply systems with new water pumps as the core.

In terms of production equipment, Charles decided to import a number of machinery and equipment from the Rurik Kingdom to improve production efficiency.

This decision was made by him in the past two days, and was unanimously supported by Auston I and Ji Shijun.

Both men are now under intense political and military pressure to have a stable and reliable source of weapons from the outside.

It is not impossible for a kitchen appliance factory to transform into an arsenal or something, for example, a press for the production of pots and pans, a stamping machine for the production of helmets, shields, it is a matter of minutes.

The Duchy of Milan is a place founded by commerce without the interference of feudal nobles, the transportation is extremely convenient, the raw materials are easy to obtain, and there are many craftsmen.

Ah Fu naturally didn't think of this, he was assessing the market prospects of the goods in the booklet.

At this time, Charles asked, "How is the situation of the vegetable greenhouse at home now?"

Ah Fu replied with a bitter face, "My lord, in the winter, the Marquis of Herman Rick sent someone to buy all the fresh cucumbers, and there was a fight for this. ”

Charles frowned, then asked, "How's the price?"

"The price offered by the Marquis Hermanlik is fair, but the other families complain about it. ”

Charles asked again, "How is the senate of the orcs reacting?"

Now Ah Fu's face became even more bitter, and he said, "Our shed area is protected by the wolf cavalry of the orcs, if it weren't for the Marquis Hermanlik who defeated Brooks according to the rules, he wouldn't even expect to buy the cucumber back." ”

Charles was speechless, eating fresh cucumbers and other vegetables in the winter could indeed make the humans and orcs of the Northland hesitate to use knives and guns, just like the "spice wars".

Ah Fu continued, "This year, Corn City has begun to try to build vegetable greenhouses, and if there is no accident, we will have a harvest this winter." ”

Then Ah Fu suddenly whispered, "Master, the Senate said that they have prepared more than 20 girls of all kinds, which are sent to you as personal maids, and it is estimated that they will come to the house next month." ”

Charles blinked, not reacting for a moment.

Ah Fu continued: "The Senate also knows that you are young, so those girls are about the same age as you, and when you are sixteen years old, they will be fine." ”

Charles's face suddenly darkened, and more than 20 people were waiting for him...... This day...... I can't get by.
