Chapter 100: Undercurrent
The next day, Gu Feicang met with William again, and agreed to let the Quinn Chamber of Commerce establish a branch in St. Yorktown, and become the official chamber of commerce in St. Yorktown, handling all the chambers of commerce in St. Yorktown, but there is also a precondition, that is, the Quinn Chamber of Commerce must provide the necessary assistance in the development of St. Yorktown, and once the help of the Quinn Chamber of Commerce cannot meet the development needs of St. Yorktown, this contractual relationship will be terminated immediately.
Moreover, although the Quinn Chamber of Commerce is responsible for handling all matters of the Chamber of Commerce in St. Yorktown, the Town of St. York's supreme jurisdiction can unilaterally veto the decisions of the Quinn Chamber of Commerce if they disagree with the decisions of the Quinn Chamber of Commerce.
This kind of constraint sounds very unfair to the Quinn Chamber of Commerce, but only those who really understand the interests in it know how much benefit such an 'unjust' contract can bring to the Quinn Chamber of Commerce, and with the development of St. Yorktown, as long as it is not beyond the scope of the Quinn Chamber of Commerce's control, it can bring a steady stream of benefits to the Quinn Chamber of Commerce.
If so, it is not because the Quinn Chamber of Commerce was the first to contact St. Yorktown, and St. Yorktown really needs to develop rapidly, such a piece of fat cannot fall into William's mouth, of course, in order to eat this piece of fat, the Quinn Chamber of Commerce also needs to pay a lot of price.
On the very day that the contract was signed, the Quinn Chamber of Commerce sent no professionals to systematically plan the entire commercial area of St. Yorktown, and also brought a lot of supplies, and also proposed that the width and depth of the moat could be used to form a wharf and establish water transportation through the Boyce River.
Hearing this, Gu Feicang remembered that in his castle space, there was also a building that had never really played a role, the dock, which could build a powerful ship by spending a certain amount of gold coins and resources.
Now, hearing what the people from the Quinn Chamber of Commerce said, Gu Feicang immediately remembered this, and immediately built three ships, I have to say that the quality of the ships produced in the castle space is not to be said, and when the hull of more than ten meters appeared on the moat, it immediately caused a burst of amazement.
With the full support of the Quinn Chamber of Commerce, St. Yorktown is like a newly-built ship, riding the wind and waves, pulling anchor and setting sail, and then the east wind of the Quinn Chamber of Commerce, a thousand miles away in a day.
However, no one expected that when the new ship of St. Yorktown was rushing forward at full speed, the undercurrent in the ground also quietly came to its feet.
This matter starts with White Rock City.
At the beginning of the White Rock City, in addition to the city lord Abbas, there were several forces in the White Rock City, which were intricately intertwined with each other, among them, the largest one, and the Cassidy family with the longest history and the worst reputation in the entire White Rock City.
As the Cassidy family with the deepest heritage in White Rock City, there are three high-level magicians, and there was a mage master in the ancestors, in the entire White Rock City, in addition to the city lord Abbas, it is headed by the Cassidy family, and even Abbas must be afraid of the power of the Cassidy family.
In the intricate network of power in White Rock City, there are old aristocratic families like Cassidy that have been inherited for many years, and there are also some emerging nobles, who are often born in poverty, because of some chance, or war, they have become a new nobleman, and they have begun to have a part of the right to speak, among them, Gu Feicang's father, Jacob Stewart, is such a new nobleman, because of the war, he is also a high-level fighter, in White Rock City, he can speak to some extent.
But the good times didn't last long, because of a war, Jacob died, leaving behind a son with no underlying strength, Francisco Stewart, as a teenager who was neither a fighter nor a magician, and had no background at all, guarding Jacob's legacy of property, unintentionally holding ingots, as dangerous as being in the middle of the city.
It is true that although the greedy Cassidy family has a big business, it is flourishing, and there are many people who need to be supplied, and there are still a few people who can enjoy more resources, so for such a kid who has no foundation at all, he will naturally not let go, and soon cannibalizes the assets left by Jacob, and at the same time, they also got a news that because of the death in battle, Jacob's title can be reduced to Francesco and inherited.
Don't underestimate the name of a nobleman, although, in the world of Afa speaking with strength, nobles without strength are not much stronger than commoners, but in the Cross Empire, a title also contains a lot of resources, so for this title, there are also people in the Cassidy family who have moved their minds.
Speaking of which, I have to say that there is a special situation about the title in the Cross Empire, that is, if the person who has been knighted does not receive the title within three months, then under the decision of the city lord, the title can be changed and handed over to another person to inherit, and it is precisely because of this that Francisco, who has lost everything, was also fooled into going to the White Field Outpost to serve as an archon.
Later, because Gu Feicang crossed over, held the castle space, and laid a foundation for himself in the place of death, plus later the orcs broke out a full-scale war, and all the sixteen cities in the north fell, and the matter was over.
But what Gu Feicang didn't know, after the defeat of the sixteen cities in the north, it didn't mean that everyone died in the north, in fact, many nobles, especially the old nobles, still have some background in their families, so many people have crossed the Fallen Leaf Mountains and come to the south, and there are also such people in the Cassidy family.
When the fame of St. Yorktown and Baron Francisco spread all over the country, it attracted not only visitors from all sides, but also the envy of all parties, including the Cassidy family.
When they learned that Gu Feicang not only did not die, but also became the mayor of St. York Town, broke through to the realm of high-level magicians, repelled the orcs, and had the news that the Quinn Chamber of Commerce strongly supported this news, the Cassidy family was extremely jealous, and at the same time, their hearts were also full of fear and resentment, if Gu Feicang knew that they were not dead in the future, would they take action against them.
As the saying goes, the first strike is the strongest, but without Gu Feicang knowing, the Cassidy family once again showed him malice.
