Forming a joint venture is not a simple matter.

Especially in the atmosphere of conservatism in the domestic magic circles, it is difficult to set up a joint venture company to extract resources even in the south.

You must know that back then, the Holy See and the Wizards' Guild formed an expeditionary force to invade in order to rob the various resources of the Chinese land, and now although the times are different, for foreign forces wanting to exploit resources, from the headquarters of the Chinese Mage Association to the local branches at all levels, they are all full of nervous hypervigilance.

There was a very classic case back then.

That was not long after the establishment of mage associations in the provinces.

During a hunt for cross-border goblins, a mage from the Yunnan Mage Association accidentally discovered a jade mine in the area of the Huangni River in Qujing that could efficiently separate micro-spell particles.

This kind of jade ore is of little significance to the spell schools that are common in China, but it is extremely valuable for the elemental mastery spells that are growing in Europe and the United States, and can effectively improve the elemental separation and extraction efficiency of the mages of this genre when casting spells.

The Yunnan Mage Association was still relatively short of money at that time, so it pondered that after mining the mineral deposits, it would sell them to Europe and the United States to earn some foreign exchange and improve the economic situation of the association, so the association came forward to form a company.

The company was established, but it lacked technology, and ordinary mining technology would cause great losses and waste, so the company had no choice but to contact a mining company with relevant experience under the Wizards' Guild to plan a joint venture.

After this matter was reported to the Provincial Mage Association, the Provincial Mage Association directly approved it, and did not take it seriously, let alone report it to the National Federation.

After all, the mage association is not the kind of highly disciplined organization, the provincial associations themselves are formed on the basis of the local magic forces of the provinces, and they have considerable independence, especially when the provinces have just formed associations, the general association basically has no control over the provincial associations, it is just like the chaos of warlords in the early years of the Republic of China, and the provincial associations are all overlords in their own provinces. Fortunately, in the more than 30 years since its establishment, the association has been reluctantly ending this divisive situation through the efforts of non-stop personnel transfer, general association assignment, resource coordination and other means.

At that time, the provincial mage associations did not pay much attention to the general assembly.

Although the strength of the Yunnan Mage Association is a little weaker, it also feels that the matter of this mining and construction company is an internal affair of my province, and it has nothing to do with you, so naturally I didn't think of reporting anything.

But they thought about it, and the negotiations with the Wizards Guild were in full swing, and the general association over there issued a notice, asking the Yunnan Mage Association to immediately stop the negotiations with the Wizards Guild, and the person in charge of the provincial association should personally go to the association to be questioned.

If it were just such a notice from the General Association, the Yunnan Provincial Mage Association would probably not take it to heart, but with this notice, it is not only the official seal of the General Association, but also the opinions of other provincial associations.

In the face of this national pressure, the Yunnan Mage Association, which had been confused, had no choice but to unilaterally suspend the negotiations, and the chairman of the provincial association rushed to the headquarters of the Chinese Mage Association in Shanghai with a full set of teams.

It turned out that when the Yunnan Mage Association and the Wizards Guild were negotiating, the two sides had close contacts, especially the mages of the Wizards Guild went to the Huangni River area many times to investigate the situation of the ore veins.

At that time, although the power of the National Congress was held by the pro-Western faction in Lingnan, and the conservative forces were firmly suppressed, it did not mean that the conservatives had no right to speak, in fact, conservatism was still the mainstream of the provinces, which was also one of the main reasons why the power of the National Congress was not recognized by the provinces.

As soon as the news broke, the representatives of the conservative forces in the general association were immediately indignant.

What does the Yunnan Mage Association want to do?

Actually formed a joint venture with the Wizards Guild, the sworn enemy of the Hundred Years' War, and mined the mineral deposits that were conducive to improving the strength of European and American mages!

This is a traitor!

This is a naked traitor!

It's just a dizzy profit, crazy for money!

The representatives of the conservative forces in the general association reported the news to the general association and strongly demanded that this shameless behavior of the Yunnan Mage Association be stopped!

However, the Lingnan pro-Westerners who hold the power think that this is not a big deal, and they are even a little happy, isn't this exactly what they are happy to see? Therefore, he did not pay attention to this mention of the representatives of the conservative forces, and put it aside at will, and soon forgot about it.

However, the representatives of the conservative forces did not forget it, and they clearly realized that this was a signal of crisis, and once the joint venture company of the Yunnan Mage Association was completed, it would be tantamount to opening a dangerous opening, and I am afraid that this situation will only increase in the future, until it will blossom throughout the country, and at that time, the goal that the European and American invaders did not achieve by force in those years has been easily achieved today, and they have been politely invited in.

How can the martyrs who died in the Hundred Years War be blinded!

The representatives of the conservative forces of the General Assembly immediately began to conspire.

Since it is impossible to achieve the goal by going to the upper route, then use local forces to counter the pressure of the association!

Representatives of the conservative forces have been dispatched to contact the provincial mage associations to inform them of the news.

It is conceivable that in that atmosphere at that time, coupled with the addition of oil and vinegar from the informant, the provincial mage associations were easily aroused, and under the guidance of the staff of the association, they united to submit an official letter to the general association, demanding that the general association must stop the traitorous behavior of the Yunnan Mage Association!

In the face of this pressure, the general association had to change its attitude and sent a notice to the Yunnan Mage Association. Of course, in order to express their attitude, when issuing the notice, the joint opinions of the provinces will be deliberately marked below. This attitude is not expressed to the Yunnan Mage Association, but to the Wizards Guild, you must know that the Lingnan pro-Western forces can take the lead in advocating the establishment of the Mage Association and successfully ascend to the throne with the support of the Grand Alliance that has left Europe and the United States, and the Grand Alliance represents the attitude of the entire Europe and the United States towards China. The pro-Western faction in Lingnan will not be able to support it for even a month before they will have to step down. Marked with the joint attitude of the provinces, it is to sue the Wizards Guild, look at it, it's not that I will always not let you do this, and the whole country is angry, and there will always be no resistance!
