After the banquet, it was a formal negotiation and negotiation, with Darek present, Xia Duo could not suppress them as a mage, and the other party did not dare to fool Xia Duo with his professionalism.

Originally, this was a mutually willing cooperation, and most of the issues were even negotiated in just a few words, and the most critical price and stability have also been agreed.

Seeing that the contract was about to be signed, he froze on one issue.

"Three, this exclusivity clause is absolutely impossible." Xia Duo said coldly. This has already touched his bottom line, not to mention the limited strength of these three chambers of commerce, even if the strength is very strong, Xia Duo will not agree to the so-called exclusivity clause.

There is a good saying in my hometown,

"Tai'a holds it upside down and gives people a handle", and it is extremely unwise to pin all the material affairs of the territory on these three chambers of commerce.

Besides, he has already signed a cooperation contract with Mrs. Patty, and he can't be allowed to regret it! If you regret this, it is estimated that you will immediately be on the blacklist of the Lord of Radiance!

Xia Duo's attitude is resolute, there is no room for compromise, if it is successful, it will be done, forget it if it doesn't work, anyway, eat for nothing tonight, and there is a bottle of elf fruit wine, it is not a loss.

The scene froze like this, and at this time, as the middle, Rao Delik came out to play a round, he had been in contact with the mages a lot, and naturally knew that once the mages decided, it was difficult to change.

"It's okay to remove this article, but the delivery of all materials and personnel must be settled on the spot, and the money and goods must be settled." President Hans of the Hans Chamber of Commerce made this suggestion.

What the two sides discussed before was that Xia Duo, in the name of the pioneer and mage, had a certain credit limit, and within this limit, he could withdraw materials at will.

Wait for the territory to make a profit and then pay it back. But all this has a premise - exclusivity! And now if the exclusivity clause is removed, it must be settled on the spot, which is too realistic, Xia Duo frowned, but if he can guarantee that there is money and goods, then it is acceptable.

Xia Duo was considering whether he could advance some of the gold coins from Mrs. Patti to settle with the three chambers of commerce, or transfer the channels of the three chambers directly to Mrs. Patty.

The latter is less hassle-free, while the former may be safer. After a little hesitation, Xia Duo decided to grasp it first, and when the trust between him and Mrs. Patty increased in the future, or when he became stronger, maybe it would be a good choice to give it to her.

The presidents of the three chambers of commerce here were waiting for Xia Duo's reply, and Xia Duo didn't want to be too entangled, so he directly agreed.

Although it is now settled on the spot, money and goods are paid, it is still necessary to sign a contract, and Xia Duo needs to ensure the stability of the input and output of personnel and materials.

Stability is relative, and Xia Duo must also ensure the purchase volume every month. Xia Duo roughly calculated, if he organized 100 ordinary people and 20 guards to go out to explore in 20, the food cost would be at least thousands of gold coins every month!

Of course, the market price calculated here can be half of the food that can be settled on the spot from the forest when it is actually developed.

Others, such as buying serfs, recruiting workers, guards, etc., are all gold-swallowing beasts, and once the development machine is started, what awaits Xia Duo is either successful development and making a lot of money, or completely smashing and bankruptcy.

In fact, Xia Duo was quite bottomless, and he decided that once he started to develop, he must borrow a lot from Mrs. Patty, and even if he was familiar with these three chambers of commerce, he would have to borrow a lot.

As long as they are trapped, then Xia Duo will be much more at ease, anyway, his worst outcome is that he will fail to open up and not make any money.

He should be a mage, and he continues to be. Becoming a pioneer and gaining territory is a blessing, and mages are his job.

Thinking of this, Chadotton felt open-minded, and happily signed a sacred pact with the three presidents and with Derik, who was the witness and overseer of the Lord of Light's accident.

"Three presidents, happy cooperation!"

"Master Shado, no, Lord Shado, happy cooperation!" Several people looked at each other and smiled, and the previous tense atmosphere instantly became much more harmonious.

…… After leaving Edrich's house, Xia Duo did not immediately return to the Mage Tower, but stopped by Lady Patty's house and asked him about his cooperation with the three chambers of commerce.

Although Madame Patti was surprised that Xia Duo had found three collaborators so quickly, she smiled confidently when she heard the names of the three chambers of commerce.

"Lord Xiaduo, the Liaton Chamber of Commerce has organized a group of people from the neighborhood, when will your Excellency have time to take a look?"

"So fast?!" It has only been two since the last time the contract was signed, and Xia Duo was very surprised that a group of people had been organized so quickly,

"How many? Who are they? ”

"There are only 20 people in the first batch, all of them are free people in the town, living in poverty, it is difficult for them to get ahead in the Saville Territory, and they all want to start from scratch in the Great Xia Territory."

"Good!" Xia Duo immediately gave a flatbread,

"As long as the territory is successful, everyone will be rewarded, whether it is the field, gold or silver, or even their descendants who want to learn magic, I will also give them the opportunity." This kind of person who participated in the whole process of development and has a certain degree of initiative, if nothing else, will be a die-hard supporter of Xia Duo.

They pinned everything on the development of the territory, on Xia Duo, Xia Duo naturally would not disappoint them, there must be a big pie.

And the development of Xia Duo's side is different from the next development of the Savile Collar, the Great Xia Collar is starting from scratch and starting from scratch, as long as you can persevere, you can see hope.

Most of the ancestors of many of the big names in the Saville Territory were ordinary people who pioneered with the first lords, and although Xia Duo was not as good as the Grand Arcanist, as long as he had the hope of success in pioneering, he could attract people.

Mrs. Patti continued,

"One of these people is a leatherman, and his skills are not bad, but he is not doing well, and he owes a lot of money, and even the shops left by his ancestors have been withdrawn, and most of the others are porters on the docks, and some have been adventurers."

"By the way, there is also a priest of the Lord of Radiance, who heard that the Lieton Chamber of Commerce was recruiting people to open up new territories, and that priest took the initiative to ask to participate." Priest?

Unsolicited to get involved? Xia Duo frowned, he did not dislike the temple, nor did he dislike the teachings of the Lord of Radiance, but let the clergy of the Lord of Radiance get involved so early, Xia Duo was a little uncertain.

"What's that priest's name? Is there any purpose for him? ”

"The priest called himself Leiden, and he just wanted to participate in the development, and had no other purpose." Mrs. Patti explained.

But her explanation made Xia Duo even more confused, so she asked again,

"Can you reach him? Can you make an appointment to meet? "For the people in the temple, Xia Duo is still cautious, after all, there is a god father standing behind the people, and if he doesn't figure out the purpose of the other party, it will be difficult for Xia Duo to feel at ease.

"Priest Leiden can go to the temple to find him, he won't be leaving anytime soon!" Xia Duo looked up at the timekeeping rune on the top of the mage tower in the west, and found that it was almost 9 o'clock in the evening, so he offered his farewell: "In that case, please ask me to meet him tomorrow afternoon."

"And when the time comes, we will discuss the specific development plan, Madame, these two should be prepared, it's too late today, I'll go back to the Mage Tower first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow." ……
