If you see the future
Suppose touching the past
At last......

"Hero of Orlandor" - This title is not the same as the nickname of some kingdom nobles, such as St. Edward the Confessor, William the Conqueror, Louis XI the Spider of the Universe, etc., because it refers not to one person, but to a group of people. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Although the history of the earth is not long in the universe, it has quite a rich historical story and world changes, which makes many aliens very interested; Coupled with the good environment that Earth has, it is the preferred planet to move to.
However, due to the unpopular relationship of some aliens who have been exiled to the earth, this group of aliens who are unwilling to use violence have thought of a way, since they cannot be recognized in their 'essence', then they should work on the 'outside'.
The persecuted aliens began to run independently created chambers of commerce by their own means, and managed and developed them by purchasing land and resources from foreigners, and then exported the products they obtained; Of course, the process was suppressed and targeted by many local chambers of commerce, but the group of aliens still did not give up, relying on their sleek way of doing things to achieve success, and the group of people who first achieved the achievement was the [Heroes of Orlandor].
It's a story about a group of merchants, with neither thrilling adventures nor ups and downs, but it's a very important feat for them and their descendants.
I believe that anyone who is engaged in business knows that it is quite difficult to run a business in a strange place and slowly grow it, after all, smart businessmen will find a way to monopolize the passage of goods and let all the economy circulate through their own channels.
However, even if it is the story of a businessman who is not enthusiastic, it is still admired by many people, and the businessmen who have established the brand of "Orlandor" have worked beautifully.
And now among the businessmen that Jasmine wants to meet are the main backbones of the Orlando Chamber of Commerce, and they are also her main business partners.
The Orlando Chamber of Commerce is also a chamber of commerce involving many industries, but the best thing about it is that it has one of the best and most affordable shipyards on the planet.
The price of a ship is generally about the same as that of a helicopter in the past, if not cheaper; The reason for the cheap is that the quality can still be guaranteed because of the improvement of technology, the reduction of workload, the optimization of the program, etc.
Jasmine stood in the corridor leading to the conference room, where a huge courtyard had been built in the center of the summer manor, as if all the plants had been transplanted here, and the peach blossoms and plum blossoms bloomed together under special cultivation, and the scent of fragrance permeated everywhere.
The strange flowers with different forms are like dancing girls hidden in the shadows, and after a gust of wind blows, they can see their true colors.
In the grass near the edge of the pond, there was a plant that looked like a three-tiered cake, and there were thin strips on the rhizome that resembled catkins, which I thought were ornamental plants, until it ate a passing butterfly, and Jasmine realized that it was a carnivorous plant......
Instead of lingering where she was, Jasmine set her eyes on the robot floating in mid-air directly in front of her, which had come to lead her way.
The four guards initially thought it was an attacking drone, but before destroying it, they were stopped by the manor staff, and Jasmine couldn't cry or laugh for a while.
It is certainly a good thing to be cared for and in relationships, after all, people are alone from birth; Of course, the word "alone" here refers to the struggle, and few people will help themselves, so we should be glad to have the support of outsiders.
"Lord Jasmine, the funds have been transferred from the insurance bank to the cash card, and they can be used freely; It's just that when you pay the deposit, please be sure not to use the other party's card reader, we have prepared it ourselves. ”
"It's true that there are those who steal money through card swipers, but I don't think people in meetings will do that, right? After all, he is a character with a head and a face, and being exposed is not as simple as being disgraced and sentenced. ”
Smart businessmen often value their credibility more than money, and as long as they guarantee the latter, they will not worry about having no business partners.
Then, under the guidance of the robot, they passed through the seemingly luxurious courtyards, ancient corridors, and rooms of various styles before successfully reaching their destination.
On the north side of the summer manor there is a tall pavilion that overlooks the entire manor, and it is a good place to rest in the wind and near the spring.
There were a large number of guards at the stairs leading to the pavilion, and a man in staff clothes stopped the four bodyguards behind Jasmine.
"I believe Your Excellency is the Queen of Maurice? Next, guards are not allowed to enter. ”
"No problem, it's better to say it's what I want."
Sabas had four guards on standby at the entrance to the staircase, looking worried, but not disobeying Sabas's instructions.
After passing through the gate used to detect whether a weapon was carried, and following the path with at least four hundred steps, it was fairly quick to arrive at the scene.
There were already people seated there, and there were four people except Jasmine, and behind each of them stood one or two accountants or assistants.
Seeing Jasmine dressed as a strong woman, two of them were taken aback at first, they might have thought that the queen of a country would come here in a luxurious dress.
"Lord Jasmine, please be careful."
"I think it should be fine."
"Why is Jasmine-sama so optimistic?"
"Because you're there, Sabas...... More important is ......"
If it's to meet Ahui, Jasmine will make everything go smoothly.
――――
The gazebo is large enough, and Jasmine's special seats have already been arranged.
The meeting was attended by a senior executive of the transportation department, one of the directors of the operating company, and a commissioner of a logistics research company, and the one who cared most about Jasmine was a businessman affiliated with the Orlando Chamber of Commerce, a young alien named Tobai.
Plus Jasmine is a total of five people, three of whom are alien and two are human.
A maid served a cup of warm tea to Jasmine after she took her seat, while the other maids brought the refreshments and placed them on the table.
"These are all specialty refreshments from different planets, I've seen them in advertisements and news before, and I haven't had a chance to run over to buy them, but this time I finally ate them."
Tobai tasted the dessert and said his thoughts, not knowing whether it was deliberately to let people relax their vigilance or just such a simple person.
The assistant officer behind Tobai appeared to be an ordinary young woman, she was holding a document in her arms, and deliberately hit him with her knee while Tobai was eating, and Tobai began to get the topic to the center of gravity when he came back to his senses.
Perhaps because the Orlando Chamber of Commerce to which Tobai belongs is large and influential enough, this time it will be hosted by Tobai.
"On the theme of this meeting...... Actually, there is no theme, ahaha~ We are completely different from the Yurmgun Chamber of Commerce controlled by the Galactic Monastery, and we don't often hold any events, so you must be surprised this time, right? If you have to say it, the reason is not nothing, I think everyone knows very well about the war in the universe, and the victory of that war has a lot to do with us. ”
If the unified religion is the source of stability, it will be destroyed, and the results will be self-evident.
Basically, there are believers in all organizations, and some of them are not low in status (many people think that they are the watchmen placed by the church in different industries, so they support them to make them high), so the unified religion will affect all kinds of industries on some level.
Now that magic and gods and ancient dragons have been confirmed, faith has become a 'happy land' in a fast-paced and impetuous world, and it is not unfounded that there will be so many believers.
"So we hope that the Orlando Chamber of Commerce will donate together and use that money to support the United Religious Church."
"Donate? It's been a long time since I've heard such a word, since the status of the church has been rising, many people are willing to pay for their faith, and donations have long become something that only the church does. ”
Can the money given to the church by the congregation be called a donation? No, it's not, but to show the influence of his piety, which is ridiculous, but also makes people laugh.
Whether the church exists for better or worse cannot be decided, but its importance cannot be denied.
Many chambers of commerce are reluctant to believe the church because the church is likely to deprive them of certain rights, using exaggerated reasons and ridiculous revelations to deceive merchants, and even then the merchants will not engage in large-scale resistance.
Merchants are very smart, and when they are taken away by the church, they also get help from the church, for example, believers go to the storefront of the chamber of commerce to buy things, which can be said to be a mutually beneficial situation, but many chambers of commerce are unwilling to agree.
"I've been in charge of traffic in the 23KX neighborhood in the northwest, because it is the stronghold of a group of mobs who are not afraid of death, and it is also an important transportation link, resulting in frequent ship jams, and I have had enough of opening the back door to the church's transport ship every time."
"Really? The other party must have given you a benefit, right? The people in the church are in some ways smarter than we are. ”
"Hmph, I'm half a businessman, don't think I don't understand your little thoughts; Don't taunt me, I tell you plainly that you have taken their benefits, but so what? It seems to me that the survival of the church has little impact on the status quo. ”
"That's why Your Excellency is a half-businessman."
Tobay mocked the obese man who thought of himself as a high-ranking man in the transportation department, and his most common business as a businessman was probably related to 'bribery'.
"Don't argue with you guy, I'm just here to see the queen of Maurice, if necessary, we can provide you with a special royal tour route service."
The fat man began to change the subject, and on this it was a shrewd guy.
"No, I'm not here to enjoy the scenery."
"That's a pity, we have prepared a lot of exclusive routes for viewing for many royal figures."
"I appreciate your company's kindness."
Jasmine refused, she didn't have time to travel.
Toppy bowed to Jasmine and spoke
"I'm sorry to disturb Her Majesty's conversation, but I remember that this meeting was purposeful."
Speaking of this, Tobai was kicked by the young woman behind him, and although he let out a mournful scream, he did not act against it.
――――
Let's wrap up the conversation.
The communicative side of the sect believes that the survival of the church union is of little importance, and that the world can run without them;
On the side of the running business, the church is still very useful, and their company has helped many companies that are about to close down through the church, and they have to rely on the church to improve their reputation and make money;
The logistics side said that they maintained a neutral attitude, they did not want to get involved in trouble, and would only be responsible for the intelligence investigation in the market, which can be said to be a decent answer;
On the Orlando Chamber of Commerce's side, the self-proclaimed representative of Tobay said that he would provide assistance to the church in order to maintain the balance and ensure that everything runs smoothly, with his eyes already on the future;
As for Jasmine, her thoughts are the same as those of Tobai, sitting back and watching the fire from the other side is not her choice, and helping the church and alliance to which Yahui belongs is her purpose; It's just that Jasmine has her own means and doesn't plan to work with anyone.
"Your Royal Highness, since everyone has made their position clear, with whom does Her Highness plan to make business deals? It is a privilege to be able to do business with the royal family. ”
"Call me Jasmine."
"Miss Jasmine is really close to the people."
After Tobay finished speaking, he was punched by the young woman behind him.
"I came here to purchase a ship from the Orlando Chamber of Commerce, and of course securing the route of cargo transportation is also an essential step, so I would like you to listen carefully."
"If there's anything I can do, I'll help, and as an aside, it was the queen who surprised me...... Miss Jasmine actually has a crush on the human race. ”
"Huh? Is it my marriage contract to the human race? ”
"Yes."
Jasmine didn't dodge Tobai's question, but answered immediately.
"Because feelings are so unreasonable."
"As a businessman, I can't understand it, it hurts!"
Tobai, who said this, was kicked by the woman behind him again, showing a helpless smile.
It was only when the audience fell silent that Jasmine began to slowly explain her purpose for this visit, that she wanted to make sure that the deal was completed while also completing her first step plan, and that no one would interfere with her.
"Everyone, please cooperate with me."
Looking at Jasmine's perfect professional smile, those present also remembered a saying of the human race, that is, it was a little blackened.
