"Your Highness Tristan, I think you have misunderstood me, I said that I didn't have the slightest intention of harming the Titanians with ambergris, on the contrary, if this thing is used well, it can not only weaken the High Elves, but also make money for us, just like the Duke of Alvarez, you just need to expand the sales market, and it just so happens that the High Elves have already expressed their welcome? With your cleverness, you should know what choice is in the best interests of Titania, although you can refuse me, but that is not the best choice for you Titania. If I are forced to abandon my plan to weaken the High Elves, their influence may return to the Azure Continent, and if you continue to help the High Elves contain us, their next target will be you when we fall. Solomon said unhurriedly.

Tristan's eyes darkened, but he knew that most of Solomon's words had some truth.

It is impossible for the Asturians and Solomon to clear their name of using Titania and the Alvarez family because of these few words, and it is possible that rosemary will also poison Titania.

However, as an emperor, even if it is a future emperor, to look at the problems at hand, should not put the possibility of causing real damage in front of the greater good.

"Your Highness, you see, I have told you everything frankly, but Titania has not suffered any real losses, on the contrary, the Alvarez family has also made a lot of money, as long as you continue to cooperate, we can all continue to make money, and we can also weaken the High Elves. Even, if all goes well, I think we can try to join forces to break the closed state of the Emerald Continent. Solomon continued.

Tristan's eyes moved, and he slowly sat down again, "Let me think about it." ”

"Of course, hehe. Solomon spread his hands and laughed.

Tristan thought about it seriously. Although this matter has been exposed, there is no benefit to Titania, if it has to be said to be beneficial, it is just to start banning this ambergris ointment now, preventing someone from using him to poison the Titanians, and nothing else will be obtained. If he intervenes to stop it. It is beneficial to the country, but those families and forces who coveted the benefits of saliva ointment before may still resent him because of this.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly, this seemed to be a thankless task, he couldn't help but look at Solomon who was nothing, and couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness, the poisonous snake in front of him was so generous that he directly told himself the secret, and it was clear that he hoped for a deeper cooperation between the two sides.

But if you think about it, it doesn't seem that there is no possibility of cooperation.

"Duke Solomon, I've thought about it seriously. If you really want us to cooperate on this matter. Tristan specially accentuated his tone on the three words of this matter, "It's not impossible, because you told me the secret so frankly, it can be regarded as a certain sincerity, but this matter is not trivial, the risk is quite large, I think this sincerity alone is not enough, I can't convince my father to agree." ”

"What kind of sincerity is needed. You can say, I want to hear it. Solomon waved his hand gracefully. Said in a sincere tone.

"First, we need to know how much support you have for this plan in Asturias, and if the High Elves discover its secrets, will we be the only ones who will bear their wrath? You must also tell us the information and raw materials of the ambergris cream, only then will we believe that it will not harm the interests of Titania, and I will convince my father. Tristan said solemnly.

Needless to say, the first one is aimed at the concealment of the toxicity of ambergris cream, and Tristan did not find out the harm of ambergris cream before he came. According to Solomon, this thing will only appear after long-term use, slowly eroding the health of living beings and reducing their physique.

But this is even more frightening, because when you find out, it can be very harmful, and although Tristan does not yet know how to make ambergris cream, he understands that this drug will not be controlled by others if he also knows how to make it. If it can be made in the same way, Titania can be copied in the future without relying on Asturias, there are samples that can be analyzed, and on this basis, research defense and cracking, which is a reassuring way to cure the root cause.

Of course, this condition may seem a bit harsh, he doesn't know if Solomon will agree, but he is not lying, he believes that if he wants to persuade Emperor Sauron or other old ministers to let Titania take a certain risk to cooperate, this is definitely one of the bottom conditions they also want to get, if Solomon does not agree, he can also make a decision.

"Your two questions, on the second point, are very simple, I agree to hand over to you the process of making ambergris cream, and even tell you the secret of the raw materials, which comes from an underground abyss plant called rosemary, which requires certain conditions to be cultivated on the surface, I can tell you, let you master the method of production, but if this is the case, when we operate ambergris paste and even use rosemary to make other things, we must discuss how to distribute the benefits, we can consider working closely together to operate, unify production, unify sales, or we can set up our own companies to produce separately and sell to the blue continentBut if that's the case, you have to be consistent in some aspects, such as price. ”

Tristan thought about it for a moment and said, "It's still the latter case, and I can also have an explanation for the families who covet this business now." ”

The first way mentioned by Solomon can range from syndicates and trusts to conzens in different degrees of tightness, while the latter is only a loose type, equivalent to a cartel form.

It is not surprising that Tristan chose the cartel, because he would be worried that if it was too close, even if Solomon promised to hand over the secret of the ambergris, but who knows if he would leave a hand to prevent Titania from crossing the river and tearing down the bridge?

And if you choose the form of a cartel, you don't have to worry about being dominated by the Asturians, because the production and sale of the Titanians are independent, for this, of course. The Titanians also have to pay a certain price, that is, they must agree to help introduce Asturias into the Emerald Continent and share the market together, as for who has a good business in the future, it will depend on their own ability, but Tristan believes that Titania has an innate advantage in this regard. If nothing else, as long as the Alvarez family continues to operate, it is not comparable to any new company.

The form of cartel can allow everyone to unanimously unify the price and stabilize profits, and I believe that other families or organizations that are ready to intervene will also be willing to join it.

Tristan's plan is not exquisite, but Solomon doesn't care at all, because if drugs really poison the elves, then the better the Titanians' business, the more they will help in the future. Maybe it even becomes the main goal. In this matter, his main goal is not to make much profit, but to weaken the High Elves, to avoid interference and hindrance from these stubborn guys, since it is impossible to reconcile with the High Elves, he can only find a way to solve them, and in addition, he is more concerned about entering the Emerald Continent than making money and selling ambergris ointment.

Ambergris cream is just a tool for making cracks. As soon as a crack is opened, Solomon will find a way to widen the crack. Just like the High Elves now accept a few more other goods from the Alvarez family, but that's not enough.

However, as long as there is this seam, it can be expanded, for example, the different ways of using ambergris cream can take the opportunity to dump more goods, and if the method of incense is used in the quiet room, then special utensils can be made. Stoves, porcelain bowls, and couches can all come into being to meet the high elves' style of elegant pretending, and if they are smoked in tobacco leaves, then the smoking gun can be produced in response to market needs, which is called industrialization.

"As for the first point, Your Highness can also rest assured. As long as the merchants of Asturias were allowed to operate this kind of business, Titania would introduce the Emerald Continent, and the more profitable they were, the more people they would profit, and they would naturally unite to exert influence on the parliament and the cabinet. I can't promise anything at all, but I don't have to promise anything at all, because profit is the best promise, if His Highness needs the Asturians to take equal risks, it all depends on the attitude of the Titania, or rather, this is also the sincerity that I did not take the initiative to say, but His Highness and the Titanians should pay. ”

"You don't have to worry about this, I, Titania, am also a big country, even if there is a conflict of interest with Asturias, we have always acted openly, if we can promote cooperation in this matter, we can reach a secret agreement. Tristan said.

Of course, Solomon would not fully believe such a statement, it is true that intrigue is not the main means of the two powers, but it is impossible to say that it is impossible to say that it is not at all, and the second son of Alvarez died in order to steal the Asturian information on the development of magic.

"I must declare, however, that our cooperation is only in this matter, and that the interests of the Empire outside of this matter will not be affected in any way. Tristan solemnly declared.

"Hahaha, of course, of course, I think the same way, I believe that my country's parliament and cabinet will also think the same, let Asturias belong to Asturi, Titania to Titania, if there is a conflict of interests in other places, of course, according to their positions, each according to their ability. Solomon laughed.

He laughed for a while, put away his laughter and said, "Then, Duke Álvarez may have some emotions there, and only His Highness will come forward to appease him." ”

"Yes, I will appease him, but as for the danger of ambergris, I think it will be kept secret for the time being, and there is no need to know too many operators, including the Duke of Alvarez, as for the prohibition of domestic sales, it will be controlled on the grounds of tight production. "Also, if more people are allowed to trade in ambergris cream, can you tell me first that its production can be greatly increased?"

"The most important part of the raw materials for the manufacture of ambergris paste comes from the refining of rosemary, the cultivation of this plant requires the flesh and blood of intelligent creatures, and the detailed information will be offered after your country really agrees to cooperate, so the most suitable place for this plant to grow is actually a place of war, and a large number of corpses are the best nourishment for its growth. You can rest assured of the ramp-up in production because I'm already working on it and finding a place that fits. ”

"Where is the right place?" Tristan's mind flashed through some of the planes that Asturias had already intervened in, and the most suitable seemed to be Yugudral, which had experienced the invasion of purgatory, and although it was repulsed, it left behind many demons or creatures with demonic blood.

No, not there, Tristan overturned his judgment, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, he couldn't help but look up, and said with a slight abruptness: "Could it be Falmalik?" (To be continued.) )
