Chapter 31: Reversal

Silas, a big businessman, has been immersed in business for the past few days, and two years of decadence have made him miss a lot of opportunities, and this time he is reinvigorated, and he is bent on mastering all aspects of information again. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The plan for cooperation with Lyon was almost complete, and when the Yorkie Knight visited this morning, he promised to go to Ravenwood the day after tomorrow to discuss further details.

As the president of the Chamber of Commerce, he has not taken on the corresponding responsibilities in the past two years, and he has relied entirely on the help of his friends and the support of everyone to keep this position.

The entire study room is filled with the materials of the Chamber of Commerce within half a year, and after three days of reading at night, Silas finally has some eyebrows.

White Mist City hasn't changed much in the last half a year, except for Peel's growing power, the rest are pretty much the same as in previous years.

But it was only Peel who made him feel uneasy.

With the growth of power, Peel's courage is also getting bigger and bigger, and he used to do some small actions and knew that he was doing them quietly in secret, but now he dares to do things blatantly.

The Chamber of Commerce is not a tight-knit organization, and most of its regulations are about commercial cooperation, and there is no rule on his personal actions. And the lord of White Mist City has always believed that he will not interfere if it does not affect his interests, and in the eyes of the lord, it is the same for whoever runs it, and in the end he has to pay taxes.

It is precisely because of the relatively relaxed environment here that the White Mist City, which was originally not too well located, has developed, and is now the sixth largest city in the kingdom.

Serra Stancheng himself has done business in gray areas, but he still has a bottom line in his heart. A person who has no bottom line, he can't imagine what terrible things he will do.

"Silas, I didn't expect to stand up again after two years of silence. Peele's voice came from outside the door, and the dissatisfaction in his tone was palpable. After Silas teamed up with Leon, he had little chance of getting involved.

"Peel, you have brought such a large piece of meat to me, and if I do not enjoy it, I will not be disappointed by your good intentions. "Silas isn't sorry for his actions, business is about seeing who sees the opportunity and who can catch it.

Silas's cooperation did not violate the rules of the Chamber of Commerce, and even if Peel told the entire Chamber of Commerce about this, no one would stand up for him, and could only comfort him not to be too sloppy next time. In fact, many people already knew about this ore trade before Silas, but they didn't think about the benefits behind it.

"Silas, you're not young anymore, and you're afraid of eating too much and not digesting it. Peel's face was ugly, he never hid his emotions, and his whole face revealed what his mood was. Two years ago, Peel might have reined in because his strength was not as good as him, but now that he was the number one in White Mist City, it would not be easy to make him subordinate to others.

Silas shook his head with a smile, put down the pen in his hand, and said, "Peel, what's the use of saying these things now? A quick tongue can't change anything, and it's better to think about how to expand trade when you have all this time." ”

White Mist City will hold a big meeting every three years, the content of the meeting is to expand business and trade with other cities, all the big businessmen in White Mist City must abide by the same set of rules, which is equivalent to the entire White Mist City and other individual businessmen to cooperate, the benefits can be imagined, with the credibility of the Chamber of Commerce, the difficulty of cooperation will be greatly reduced.

"I've been prepared for this for a long time, but you're going to be busy with Ravenwood's business, and you're going to have to worry about the conference in the near future, so you have to be careful, it's not easy to get up again if you fall halfway. "Peel still doesn't plan to let Silas go, if he doesn't do something at this time, I'm afraid he will be crushed again soon.

"If you're here today to remind me to pay attention to my body, then I've taken your kindness. If nothing else, you can do it yourself. Silas didn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore, there was still a lot of unattended matters in his hands, and he didn't have time to play word games with him. It's just that this is the Chamber of Commerce, and he is one of the main members, so he has no right to kick him out, so he has to do whatever he wants.

"Oh, by the way, don't you say I forgot, but I came here today for an important matter. Peel only then pretended to remember something, and judging by the look on his face, it was not something to be happy about.

"Tell me anything. Silas couldn't get used to him and just wanted to get him away as soon as possible.

"I heard that Leon Burton of Ravenwood doesn't have a knighthood yet, right?" Peel looked at Silas suspiciously, there must be some conspiracy in his heart waiting for the other party to take the bait.

Silas seemed to understand something, his expression was only slightly surprised, and then he returned to his original state: "You ask me what to do, you should ask Leon Burton about this." ”

"Of course, of course. It's just that this is not something that we merchants should meddle in, I'm afraid it's better to inform the Earl, after all, there are too many rules and regulations between their nobles, and they are not as loose as between us, hahaha, right? Peel's final laugh was triumphant, and he was in a good position on the matter.

Watching Peel leave with a smile, Silas let out a sigh of relief, this time in a bit of trouble.

Ravenwood was originally one of the territories belonging to White Mist City, and the management of the town was also managed by the Earl of White Mist City. But the geography was so bad that many consuls were unwilling to govern, and the Count gave up.

Since Leon took over, the Count has not paid attention to it, whether it is good or bad is none of his business.

But now a small incident has broken this situation. Lyon's lack of a knighthood meant that the town did not belong to him entirely, at most as a consul appointed by the royal family, and the town still nominally belonged to the count.

But the Earl did not know about this, and if he had, he would have sent someone to take possession of the mine for himself, and now Peel went to inform him that according to the Earl's self-interest character, this time the town would not develop so smoothly.

In a better case, the Count and Lyon split in half, and the ore received half each.

The worse case scenario is that the Count is in complete possession, and the resources of his realm are not yet in the hands of an archon.

Thinking of the second situation, Silas panicked in his heart, he also knew from Leon that he did not have a title, and he had been talking about cooperation at that time, but he did not think of this relationship. As long as the Count occupies the mines, his cooperation with Lyon will be in vain.

He had seen the situation in the town, and there was no room for confrontation in the face of the pressure of the earl with such strength.

Is it a waste after being busy for so long? Silas suddenly lost confidence.
