Chapter 1125: A Peek from the Pharmacists' Guild
"Is that all?
"That's all... What? Do you still want me to extort more from Tyral? Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
After sending Talal away, the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce temporarily regained its calm, in Leluchau's office, Alyssa asked a little inexplicably, as a person who participated in the whole process of negotiations with Talal, Elisa always felt that the conditions given by Lelouch were too lenient, except for the one that forced Lydia to stay, the other conditions were not so much conditions as a big concession to Talal, and even the old general couldn't help but wonder if there was any trap in it.
Let Lydia be free, but Lydia must remain in the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce for a while until the Grand Slave Trader Philipus dispels any last suspicion of Lelouch.
And as the price of all this, what Tyral has to do is to open the market to the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce in the name of the Tastolov family on behalf of the nobles of Princess Lindys's faction, and give the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce certain exclusive rights in the next ten years, including the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce, tax exemption policies, and the sale of potions. These conditions can hardly be said to be conditions, for a country that is in turmoil and may break out at any time, Tyral, as a staunch supporter of Princess Lindis's faction, may not be able to have a stable supply channel for potions to cope with the needs of a possible civil war.
"As your help, I would certainly like to use every opportunity to help you get the most out of it. Alisa smiled and said directly: "As a businessman, I don't like to suffer, whether it is for myself or for you, the nature of a businessman makes me like to maximize the benefits of everything." ”
"The nature of a businessman┉For a businessman, it is indeed very worry-free to have such a help from you. ”
Lelouch chuckled and reminded: "But I'm not a businessman, and the ultimate purpose of our coming to this city is not to make money, whether it's the Chamber of Commerce, or the potion business, it's just a means to maintain a stronghold, Alisa~ Don't forget the ultimate purpose of our coming to this city." ”
"Hmm~ Of course! Elisa suddenly remembered the true mission of her group.
Not to make money, but to establish a stronghold for the unknown old gods entrenched in the Arnold Mountains, how could the high gods look down on the possessions of mortals, not to mention the fact that some of the things that were brought out of the old gods when they first arrived in the Free City were an astonishing wealth that made people smack.
In addition to establishing a stronghold, Lelouch was also given a more important job, that is, to find the soul stone that fell into Claire's hands, although Yalin's order was only for Lelouch to find this stone located in the Free City, but obviously this one does not exist only in this world, and Yalin does not only need this one, in the future, he will inevitably have to go to other areas to find these unaccounted for soul stones, and establishing good relations with the Kingdom of Kreses allows the Silverwing Chamber of Commerce and the forces of the Arnold Mountains to infiltrate the past in advance is to prepare for the future。
Without Yalin's order, Lelouch also knows how to judge what to do, and if it is replaced by his brother Schunezel, he will definitely choose so, and make all plans for the future in advance!
"I'll inform everyone about Lydia, and I'll show me the statistics for next month's potion release, there's been a little too much going on lately, the banquet that Philip is going to hold, the potion sale, the formation of the Black Knights, and ┉" After chatting for a while, Lelouch returned to work, but a lot of work also made Lelouch as a black dragon show some fatigue: "It's much busier than in District 11, at least where I only need to play one of the two roles." ”
After handing over the statistical report to Lelouch, Alisa also quickly carried out the order to relay Lydia's relevant news to everyone, mainly people from the city where the ancient gods were entrenched, and for those outside, Alisa only needed to convey a few henchmen controlled by Lelouch's spiritual magic (Geass).
Having said that, after a large group of spies and spies were controlled, those forces and organizations found that they had not had any effect for such a long time, and they really recalled a lot of people, but this gave the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce the opportunity to break into their interior, and a zero-cost information channel was established, and there was no need to worry about any possibility of rebellion against these double agents, they were like the most loyal servants, and any bit of valuable information to the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce would be quietly transmitted at the first time.
This kind of fanaticism can make even the fanatics brainwashed by the cult sigh to themselves, if to say that these controlled spies and spies simply serve Lelouch as if he were a god.
Alisa couldn't help but smile helplessly, the gap between gods and mortals is so big, a completely self-made businessman with no background wants to develop in a free city than panning for gold in the gravel, even if he can successfully integrate into the city, the price and humiliation to pay during the period is unimaginable, that like his current head boss, it is as easy as walking all the way along the paved road, even the bloodthirsty jackals who are eyeing on the side have to curl their tails and hide far away under the deliberate protection of two of the Big Three。
In the eyes of many businessmen in the Free City, the young president of the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce, Lu Luxiu, who has created one miracle after another, is simply favored by the goddess of luck~ No!
┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉
After the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce successfully won the potion order of one of the Big Three, the legal merchant Yunogia, the second order from the big slave merchant Philip also made the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce prosperous again, and the order of Miss Yunogia, the most mysterious of the Big Three, has made the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce and Lelouch as a member of the association famous, and even spread to some nearby countries for a time, and this time getting the order from Philipus is more like icing on the cake, and it has also made many people who were originally eyeing the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce retreat from some thoughts。
At least in the eyes of many, the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce and the Young President seem to have been prey to the Big Three, and it is clear that Lady Yunojia's target is the sister of President Lelouch Buyani, a mysterious law businesswoman whose misguided lace fetish is well known in the Free City.
Of course, whether it is Yunogia or Philipus, I am afraid that they still value the pharmacists who work for the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce, as a big slave trader and even a private army, Philipus has always wanted to establish his own potion industry, and so many magicians under the command of Yunokia are also a big household in potion consumption, but the potion blending itself is not easy plus many recipes are secret for some pharmacists, in the absence of rigorous systematic training, the pharmacists trained from the academy and family every year are limited, and these apprentices should need a long time to hone before they can really mix qualified potions。
In addition, the Pharmacists Association in the Free City has almost monopolized the entire market, and any pharmacist who enters the Free City to make a living will be co-opted by the Pharmacists Association by all means, or even directly get rid of it, in order to ensure their absolute control over the Free City Pharmacy Market.
For this reason, not to mention Philipes, even the pharmacists trained by the institutions under the command of Yunogia are extremely limited, and they cannot form a large-scale production chain to break the monopoly policy of the Pharmacists Association, and the Pharmacists Association also knows how to lower its profile while monopolizing the market, and has never let the Big Three catch any tricks in the Free City for so many years, and its own influence is not small to exist in the Free City so far.
But now this situation is about to be broken!
The rapid rise of the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce, in addition to the means that the president Lelouch relied on a large amount of initial funds to move easily between the major forces, the most important of which was that the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce broke the pattern of the pharmacist association's dominance, and a large number of pharmacists suddenly settled in the city and quickly occupied a place in the market.
And the timing chosen by the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce just caters to the idea of one more potion supply route between the Big Three and many merchants and mercenaries in the city, and the Pharmacist Association, which reacted in a hurry, found out before it had time to use its old methods that two of the Big Three were already on the side of the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce, and it was clear that they wanted to use the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce to force their side to open up the market, and it was impossible to cut off the supply of the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce under the protection of two of the Big Three, not to mention that there were many chambers of commerce after seeing more Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce, under the instructions of the Big Three, he fearlessly ignored the warnings of his own side and cooperated with the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce.
For example, the chamber of commerce of the Vest ** family of the Bellama Kingdom, which was the first to jump out, made a lot of money from the potion trade with the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce, as if it brought a bad atmosphere, so that many chambers of commerce in the free city began to work against the pharmacists association.
Faced with this situation, the Pharmacists Association was angry but helpless.
Monopolizing the market is obviously not possible, the bad example of price reduction and competition for market share is not easy to recover, and the supply of medicinal herbs is hindered by other chambers of commerce, and it is obviously impossible to do it at this time with some unsightly means, the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce, which is very firmly watched by the Big Three, is obviously not allowed to be woven and dyed by others, and the last time someone stopped Lelouch's carriage halfway, it was liquidated by the Big Three, and the main messenger behind it is still living a miserable life.
For the Pharmacists Association, the only thing that can break the breakthrough is to start from those pharmacists in the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce, use money to co-opt, and coerce with means, as far as the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce, which is now the main pharmacy business, is concerned, as long as these pharmacists are gone, it is just an empty shell, and once the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce that has lost its value is abandoned by the Big Three, it will be torn to pieces and devoured by the hungry wolves in the free city.
This idea is not only the idea of the Apothecary Association, but also the idea shared by many forces in the Free City, as long as the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce can lose those pharmacists, the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce is just a fat sheep that has lost its weapon and is waiting to be slaughtered.
The forces with this idea are also looking for the foothold of the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce's Pharmacy Workshop and the traces of its pharmacists.
And Kenjiro and Gus, who have been guarding the apothecary's workshop in the past few days, have also noticed that there seems to be more and more eyeliner outside the apothecary, and some people even try to break into the apothecary workshop at night.
If you want to do it, don't T-M-D coax me!
