Chapter 238: Turmoil at the Wharf

President Peterson is very angry, this is the special dock of his own Chamber of Commerce, Lorist is a guest of the Chamber of Commerce, if his ship is forcibly taken away on the special dock of the Chamber of Commerce, it will be a slap in the face of the Peterson Chamber of Commerce, as soon as the news comes out, does anyone still believe the credibility of the Peterson Chamber of Commerce? This is digging the roots of the Peterson Chamber of Commerce, what is going on? Could it be that the Chicke Chamber of Commerce wants to provoke a war with the Peterson Chamber of Commerce?

Lorist was also inexplicable, he didn't know the third young master of the Chikde Chamber of Commerce, and he couldn't think of any way to offend him, and he had never even been in contact with the Chikde Chamber of Commerce, why did the third young master take away his own ship?

When the two arrived at the dock, they realized that they were just facing a drunken drunkard.

The two groups of people facing each other on the dock were the steward of the special dock of the Peterson Chamber of Commerce, the sailors under Lorlist, Captain Wilson and others. Across from them was a drunken drunkard who was scolding, which meant that the owner of the ship did not take the Chikrid family seriously, and he wanted to take the ship away and teach the owner a lesson.

Although there were more people standing behind the drunk Third Young Master, they also knew the proportions, they didn't do anything except persuade the Third Young Master to go back, they all stood behind in an orderly manner, and they didn't listen to the nonsense of the Third Young Master and went up to forcibly take the boat away.

"What the hell is going on?" asked President Peterson, in a deep voice.

"Old man......" The person in charge of the dock stepped forward and saluted: "I don't know, an hour ago, this merchant ship from the Chikde Chamber of Commerce docked close to the dock, I thought they just borrowed our dock and didn't care, this kind of thing used to be commonplace, and we all gave it convenience." Unexpectedly, the third young master got off the boat and rushed to Lord Norton's ship, and after being stopped, he ordered someone to do it, and I stepped forward to stop it, and the result was like this......"

The dock manager had a red slap print on the left side of his face.

"Who hit it?" said President Peterson's face sank.

The person in charge of the dock looked at the third young master who was drunk.

The third young master was still shouting: "Dare to offend our Chikde Chamber of Commerce...... Are you tired of being alive...... Take away your boat is worthy of you...... Also, dare to stop, stop me, I, I'm going to destroy you, you're full of ......"

Lorist was angry, a young master of the Chamber of Commerce, his tone was really big, did he really think that the eldest of heaven was his second?

He took a few steps forward and looked at the crowd standing behind the drunken young master: "I am Earl Norton, the owner of this ship, I don't know you Qiked Chamber of Commerce, and I have never had any contacts. Who came out to explain, when did our Norton family offend your Chamber of Commerce, and why did your young master take my ship?"

An old man dressed as a steward finally came out of the crowd: "I'm sorry, Lord Earl. Yesterday morning, when your ship overtook our fleet, my young master ordered someone to call you to stop and meet him, and sounded the horn to invite you to board. But you ignored his invitation and went away on your own. So the young master of my family is very angry, thinking that you are looking down on him and looking down on the Chikde Chamber of Commerce...... When I came back, I saw that your boat was parked here, and I was in a bad mood after drinking too much, so I had a seizure......"

Lorist looked at the old man like a fool: "It turns out that you are the big merchant fleet that was overtaken by us yesterday? Your young master is not sick in the brain, we left you behind, more than a hundred meters away from you, you are sending a signal behind us and blowing the horn, can we see and hear it? Such a big wind and waves, is it possible for us to stop the ship and turn around and go back to accept your invitation? You want to take my ship away for this little thing? The Chikde Chamber of Commerce is really domineering!"

Lorist sneered: "Hehe, you want to take my ship? Yes, but I don't know what price you are going to pay?"

The old man misheard, thinking that Lorist was afraid of the Chikde Chamber of Commerce: "Lord Earl, your ship is very fast, it is very useful to our Chikde Chamber of Commerce, hand over your ship to us, and you will reap the friendship of our Chikde Chamber of Commerce......"

Lorist snorted: "Get out of your mother's friendship, if you want my ship, it's simple, just defeat our Norton family." Step over my corpse and you'll get my ship......"

President Peterson stopped in front of Lorlist, and he now understood what was happening: "Since your family's Third Young Master is drunk, then as the owner of this dock, we will take your Third Young Master back to sober up." You may go now, and tell your President not to forget to come and pick up his son. ”

What this means is that the third young master who is going to detain this drunken and troublesome person is going to be detained, and when the president of the Chikde Chamber of Commerce comes over to make amends, he can take the person away, so that both parties will not hurt the peace. If these Chikde Chamber of Commerce people want to bring their Third Young Master back now, they will have to snatch people from President Peterson, and no one can afford the consequences.

President Peterson waved his hand, and two guards came out behind him, and the drunken and scolding third young master walked to the carriage behind. There was a commotion in the crowd at the Chikde Chamber of Commerce, but no one rushed out to make a move.

The old man who came out bowed halfway to President Peterson: "Then please ask the elder to take care of the third young master of our family." I'm really sorry for what happened tonight, and we'll explain what happened here to our lord. Let's take our leave. ”

In the blink of an eye, the crowd on the opposite side retreated, and Lorist couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded. No, according to the description in the book, in this case, these people from the Chicked Chamber of Commerce will support their third young master, regardless of President Peterson's face, rush up to grab people, and then be knocked to the ground by themselves one by one, showing their skills, and finally beating the small ones out of the old ones, the conflict is getting bigger and bigger, and the Peterson Chamber of Commerce will defeat them with their own help, and from then on they will be tied up with the Norton family......

Why are these people in the Chikde Chamber of Commerce so sensible, so simply retreating and calming people, this is too unusual, how can there be a shelf of one of the seven giants of the Fude Business Alliance, at least for the sake of face, they should put a few cruel words......

"Locke, it's alright, let's go back and continue drinking......" President Peterson said.

"Still drinking?" Lorist couldn't figure out what kind of medicine President Peterson was selling, so he put away his thoughts, ordered Captain Wilson to say a few words, and asked them to guard the ship, and then he and President Peterson got into the carriage and walked back.

"Although the Chicked Chamber of Commerce has the largest number of trade routes by sea, it also relies on the long-distance freight fleet of our Peterson Chamber of Commerce on land, otherwise it will be difficult for it to mobilize enough supplies and goods. Tomorrow President Chicked will come to the door, and he will give you an explanation, after all, this matter was caused by his drunken third young master, as long as he doesn't want to have a conflict with our Peterson Chamber of Commerce, he has to obediently apologize to us. President Peterson said conceitedly.

"Then everything depends on the president, but I didn't expect that the third young master of the Chikde Chamber of Commerce was so brainless and acted so recklessly, looking at his age, how could he still look like a gentleman. Could it be that he deliberately wanted to provoke a conflict with the Petersen Chamber of Commerce, after all, I think his excuse for not accepting his invitation with my fleet exceeding theirs is too bad to be believed. Lorist said.

President Peterson laughed, "Don't worry, Brother Locke, it's that simple. I know why the third young master is so drunk and crazy. Everyone in the big chambers of commerce in Moldant City knows what President Chickde's biggest headache is, and his three sons all have good business acumen and talent, which is many times better than my stinky boy. But that's the case, the Chikde Chamber of Commerce has never been able to decide who the heir is, and the three young masters have formed their own gangs, and no one obeys anyone.

In the first half of this year, President Chicked finally made up his mind, and gave three problems to his three sons, one for each of them, and whoever did well would take over his class, focusing on cultivating him to inherit the Chamber of Commerce. This is the reason why this third young master is drunk, because the deadline for the task is yesterday, and he only came back today because of the big storm, it is obvious that he has lost the qualification to inherit the Chamber of Commerce. That's why he was drunk on my family's special dock, and none of the people he brought with him dared to listen to him. ”

President Peterson thought for a moment and said, "You'll be staying at my house tonight, don't worry, President Chickold will come to the door tomorrow morning to apologize." We can also discuss, where are your accumulated monster furs going to be delivered?"

Yes, I almost forgot about the delivery, Lorist replied: "I came to buy a merchant ship this time to transport these monster skins, or we can't trade on Hilois Island, then it is also the territory of our Norton family." ”

"Hilowas?" muttered President Peterson, "I think I've heard ...... somewhere."

"The island of Hirowas, which belonged to the Kingdom of the Andinacs, was nearly two hundred miles away from the port of Qilin, and was the largest island of the former Crescent Empire......," Lorist said.

"Wait a minute, Brother Locke. Isn't your family domain in the Northlands, and why is the island of Hiloas your territory?" asked President Peterson.

So Lorist briefly recounted his experience......

President Peterson's face was a little solemn: "So your Norton family belongs to the Kingdom of Antinac, and you are also the Earl of the Kingdom of Antinac?"

"yes, what's the matter, President, what's wrong with that?" asked Lorlist.

President Peterson sighed, "It's a big problem, I'm sure you've heard of it, the commercial blockade of the Kingdom of Antinac by the Business Alliance, is it? Who let the Kingdom of Andinac inherit the royal inheritance of the former Krisson Empire, the Fort Business Alliance and the former Krisson Empire have been mortal enemies for nearly two hundred years, and now although the empire is gone, its inheritance is still there, so the Kingdom of Andinac will be subject to commercial blockade and hostility. This is a tacit and spontaneous behavior of all chambers of commerce and people in the business alliance. ”

Lorist opened his mouth and stammered: "No, I, I didn't expect the power of hatred to be so great, twenty or thirty years of peace, and the former Krisson Empire is gone, and the people of your business alliance still hold such grudges, this is incredible, right? It's not that there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests, and the pursuit of interests is the nature of businessmen?"

"Incredible?" said President Peterson, scoffing, "You are right, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests, and the pursuit of profit is the nature of a businessman." In fact, the commercial blockade hostile to the Kingdom of Andinac was artificially provoked and instigated. However, the Two-Headed Dragon Chamber of Commerce, the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce, and the Vician Chamber of Commerce are leading the fight against the Kingdom of Andinac. We, the Peterson Chamber of Commerce, have only assisted in dealing with the former Krisson Empire, fulfilling our obligation to carry out the Alliance's resolutions.

However, with regard to the commercial blockade of the Kingdom of Antinac, we have also made assurances of cooperation. Brother Locke, you are a nobleman of the Antinac Kingdom, and the business of this monster fur is very unstable, if it is known, our Peterson Chamber of Commerce will be easily isolated by the other major chambers of commerce and be jointly attacked......"

Lorist laughed: "That's it, President, our Norton family does not use the banner of the Andinac Kingdom, only the angry bear banner of our Norton family in the Northland, no one knows that we will be the nobles of the Andinac Kingdom." Even if you trade Warcraft fur with us, even if someone finds out, you can push it off, everyone knows that there are no Warcraft in the territory of the Antinac Kingdom. As for the place of the transaction, let's arrange it to the Viscounty of Tyberly, and you will send a ship to pick it up after we deliver the goods, so that there is an excuse that Mr. Tim is a resale business, and it has nothing to do with us......"

"Okay, that's a good idea, that's it. President Peterson was the final word.

Finally negotiating the business of Warcraft furs, Lorist breathed a sigh of relief, the sale of nearly 500,000 Warcraft skins is related to the transaction amount of nearly two million Jinford, for the family is the funds and reserves to invest in the development of the territory in the next few years, and it is related to the stability and prosperity of the Norton family's territory......

However, although he discussed the trade of Warcraft fur with Chairman Peterson, the Warcraft bacon jerky, pickled whale meat, and snow salt brought this time will not trouble the Peterson Chamber of Commerce again. One is that they don't deal in these sundries, and the other is that the amount of these things is not too big, so they still have to find another way, even if they can't sell it, they can digest it in the family territory......

A guard was sent to inform Joske, who was at the Crow Tavern, that his group would stay at the Peterson Chamber of Commerce.

Nothing was said all night.

At about ten o'clock the next morning, the Chicked Chamber of Commerce came, and President Chicked personally came to the door and talked to President Peterson, and the two old men got along very well. The Third Young Master Chikde, who had come to his senses, was brought over and stood beside his father with a submissive expression. President Chicked repeatedly thanked President Peterson for taking in the drunken and troublesome Third Young Master and for saving him from any more embarrassing situation.

President Peterson was also very polite, emphasizing that the seven major chambers of commerce of the business alliance should be close to each other and should help each other. It's just that the third young master of Chikde should learn this lesson well, and he can't be discouraged because of a temporary setback, not only drinking and making mistakes, but also angering others, which is a very uncultivated behavior......

After teaching Chicked the Third Young Master a lesson, President Peterson introduced Lorlist, the head of the Angry Bear family from the Northlands, the Earl of Norton.

President Chicked had obviously not heard of the Norton family, a nobleman from the edge of the human settlement, who was not yet in his eyes, and he was also interested in the strange ship of Lorlist, and he was surprised to hear that it could reach speeds of fourteen knots in high winds and waves, considering that the latest and fastest schooners only reached speeds of eleven knots.

Lorist shrugged his shoulders and told President Chickold that his ship was of no use except for speed, and that he had to make it so narrow because of the reputation of the Cursed Coast of the North, so that he could sail through the shallow reefs, and because of its narrowness, it could not carry any cargo, so it could only be used as his own ship.

As for the smooth navigation in the wind and waves, the wind and wave resistance is strong, it is very simple, their own ship under the addition of a three-meter-deep wing, so that the ship is not easy to capsize, as long as the expert shipbuilder in the past to see. The main function of the wing plate is to avoid being injured by the underwater reef to the bottom of the cabin and leaking when sailing in the shallow reef area, so that a wing board is easy to exit from the reef area even if it touches anything.

Hearing Lorlist's words, President Chicked also lost interest, he wanted a merchant ship with fast speed and large cargo capacity, as Lorist said, his ship was also fast and of no use. He wasn't worried that Lorist would lie to him, and he would be able to find out if the strange ship was as Lorist had said by looking at any of the shipyards under him.

As a token of his son's apology for harassing Lorist the previous night, President Chicked gave Lorist a gift, an extremely beautifully wrapped sandalwood box that was a foot and a half long. Lorist accepted it, and then opened the box at the signal of President Peterson.

The box opened, and Lorist was dumbfounded.

Because the box contained a glittering musket......
