"Investment immigration?" Alex didn't understand the new word, and wondered: "Are you saying that let them spend some money to buy an immigration qualification? But if any nobleman who can afford a ferry ticket can come by boat, why spend this money? If the threshold is set lower than the ticket price, then it doesn't make much sense, right?"

"The war that is about to pass is a catastrophe for the Hulse continent, but it may not be an opportunity. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info" Donner suddenly changed the topic, "The great achievement of defeating the Knight Continent will definitely cause an unprecedented increase in popular opinion, so I am ready to take this opportunity to merge the Silver Finchflower Federation into the Femon Empire......"

"You're going to send troops to Silverfinch?" Alex frowned.

"There's no need to send troops, in my opinion, just bring together the heads of those little principalities with the might to defeat the knightly army. After the war, I will find a way to make an alliance with the Thorn Empire and implement border sharing. "So, I mean, after the war, the Hulse continent will have a unified customs system, and the inbound goods will pay customs duties, and the people entering the country will have to have recognized documents." ”

Alex realized that Duke Vane had avoided the topic precisely to answer his question, and if it was really as the other party said, then buying a ticket would not solve the problem.

"I don't want to see too many idle nobles in this land. Downer explained: "The so-called investment immigration is not just to buy a status, but to legally run an industry here, hire enough workers, and pay enough taxes......

Alex was surprised to find that he had already discussed immigration with the other party, after all, he had just felt that there was no point in discussing this until the war was definitely over.

And, to his astonishment, Duke Vane's idea was far more ambitious than he had anticipated. Needless to say, a unified and safe continent that was once invincible to the Knight Continent and had a strategic alliance with the Far North Country, it is needless to say how attractive it is to the nobles of Middle-earth who are in the midst of war.

Once the policy mentioned by the Duke is implemented, how advanced will the nobles of the investment immigrants be to the industry and commerce of this continent, and what kind of glorious empire will the magical energy machines produced in the Fog City and the Avery Industrial Zone create at that time?

Alex felt his heart beat faster.

If, if everything is really as this Duke of Venne said, the Hulse Continent and the Femon Empire will inevitably become behemoths far beyond the Angya Empire, as long as the Meidiqi Chamber of Commerce can catch this ride, why worry about the bleak future?

"Duke Vane," Alex looked at Donner earnestly, "Are you really sure that you can win this war with the knights?"

"Then I'll say it again," Donner looked back with the same earnestness, "I've won this war. ”

Alex took a deep breath and motioned for the attendant, who was taking the quill to go out, and waited until the door closed before slowly standing up.

"No, Lord Duke, perhaps I should call you His Majesty the Emperor, His Majesty the future Emperor of the Hers Empire......," he said solemnly.

"There may be some misunderstanding between us, I have no interest in the title you are talking about. Donner said.

"It's not important, the title and title don't matter...... Alex shook his head, "Lord Duke, my father taught me how to be a qualified merchant since I was a child...... The world was created by people like you......"

Donner smiled, Alex may have complimented him, but this compliment inadvertently touched the truth, the truth hidden in the deepest part - this world is what he created, almost all civilizations, the way all people live, all the games and contests between forces, he created them single-handedly.

His current name is Donnaveen, but in another context, he has another, more resounding name, the God of Light, the God of Creation...... In the Cathedral of Light, which was destroyed not long ago, a statue of him was erected, and even the legendary mage standing on the top of the world had to pray sincerely in front of that statue.

In Middle-earth, people worship nothing more than a poor imitation of the statue.

All these thoughts were embodied on Donner's face, and there was only a slight smile curled up at the corners of his mouth.

"And I'm just a businessman," Alex couldn't possibly realize the mood implicit in Donner's smile, "...... Businessmen should follow the trend. Thousands of years ago, the rise of the Angya Empire created the Medici family, and today, I seem to see a more glorious dynasty than the Angya Empire, about to be born in this land......"

Donner nodded, Alex was right, compared to his blueprint, the Angya Empire was nothing.

"So, from the day your dynasty was born, the direction of your arm is the direction of the Medici family!" Alex bowed slightly, kneeling down on one knee, like a nobleman being canonized by a king, or a brave man appointed as a guardian knight.

Merchant...... Donald smiled. Alex had something to say, and he seemed sincere and humble, but he still refused to say it allegiously, setting the beginning of the Medici family's allegiance to the day of the birth of the dynasty that belonged to the Donner. In other words, if Donner loses this war, then everything he says at this moment is empty words.

In fact, Alex's merchant style is exactly to Donner's taste. He doesn't trust others easily, and he doesn't feel that others should trust him unreservedly. Alex didn't say it all, which just shows his bottom line: not to lie easily.

"I am not a king or emperor, and you are not my subject, we are only in partnership. Donner held up Alex, and he couldn't accept Alex's submission, "It's good for both sides, and it's the cornerstone of our cooperation." I don't see any signs of this cornerstone collapsing, at least for the foreseeable future. ”

Alex rubbed his hands together a little awkwardly, and laughed heartily again. The embarrassment is because of my performance just now, and the refreshment is because I feel that what the other party said hit the nail on the head, and I don't do the slightest evasion, and I am more honest than myself.

That's right, businessmen only do what is good for themselves, even if not occasionally for short-term gain, but for the greater good over a longer period of time. Therefore, he expressed his desire to be loyal precisely because he saw the cooperation ...... Or the interest of clinging, but once this interest disappears, how can he guarantee that this clinging relationship still exists.

It is as if the Medici family once took the Onya Empire as the object of allegiance, but when the balance of power between the two sides gradually balanced, allegiance became cooperation, and now, the cooperation has also disappeared because of the demise of the Angya Empire.

Therefore, under the premise that he cannot guarantee eternal loyalty, of course, Duke Vane cannot always press the treasure on their family, which is really reasonable.

"I suddenly felt that you were more of a businessman than I was. Alex said.

"Then I will take your words as a compliment. Donner smiled and got up, "If I were you, I would do everything I could to make a good enough impression on the customer in the first cooperation." ”

"That's exactly what I'm going to do. Alex laughed.
