Chapter 236: Talks
was reminded by her father, Jin Can'er's eyes suddenly lit up, but at the same time, she also had a faint worry.
"Daddy, your method is good, but will this cause the dissatisfaction of the eldest prince, so as to secretly restrain our Radiant Chamber of Commerce."
On the one hand, he wants to use the status of the eldest prince to establish a relationship with the elven clan, and on the other hand, he wants to repeat the old trick and use the dwarven clan as a middleman to make profits from it, although there will be a part of the loss of benefits in the process, but as long as they can let their own goods enter the elven city, their benefits are definitely considerable.
But if these two passages are blocked, in fact, the Huiyao merchant has another way, which is to establish a post station not far from the elven city, which can not only meet the purpose of resting for the people who come and go, but also use the geographical advantages of the post station to buy and sell materials, so that even if you don't trade directly with the elves, you can sell the goods to the elven city through a third party.
In addition, the elves can also come to the post station to buy goods, so that the post station on the surface can become a material exchange platform, presumably the elves are not willing to let humans enter their main city, and the existence of this post station can also solve the elves' worries.
However, this method also has a drawback, that is, you can set up a trade station, and others can also set up a trade station, and when the time comes, everyone will start a price war, which will be a serious threat to their original intentions and goals, so before the last resort, the Huiyao merchant does not intend to do this, and he has no intention of informing others of this idea.
So under this consideration, the merchant owner of Huiyao did not answer his daughter's doubts, but said confidently.
"I've thought about this for a long time, but the time hasn't come yet, we can't make a move, and I'll naturally tell you the answer after this dinner is over."
As time passed, the preparations for the Radiance Chamber of Commerce were completely ready, and this time in order to entertain the elven and dwarven envoys, they had put a lot of effort into it, and it cost millions of gold coins to decorate it alone.
As for the food and the training of the maids, it was almost required to the extreme, and it was also under this strict requirement that the work of the banquet hall was not only orderly, but the words and deeds of the maids reached the royal level.
Until the morning before the banquet, the elven and dwarven envoys entered Chiyan City under the protection of the imperial army, and the residents along the way showed curiosity when they saw it, especially after seeing the team of the elves, they were even more puzzled about the purpose of each other's visit.
As a result, the natural gathering effect of the elves was revealed, and countless inhabitants followed closely behind the mission, on the one hand, they wanted to find out the purpose of the elves, and on the other hand, they wanted to see the beautiful faces of the elves.
After a short while, the residents who got the news poured into the streets, wanting to see the beauty of the elves, and the wide road that was large enough to row ten carriages was also surrounded by the enthusiasm of the residents of Chiyan City, if it were not for the imperial army to maintain order, perhaps the troops of the mission would not be able to reach the palace at this day.
After walking slowly for nearly an hour, the team finally reached the gate of the palace, and when Rowling's peerless face was revealed in front of the residents of Red Flame City, it immediately caused an uproar.
Countless men were impressed by the beauty, and their eyes were staring at the beautiful face like a camera, even women, although they did not have the appearance of men, but the envy and jealousy in their eyes never disappeared.
After getting out of the car, Rowling and the dwarf king walked into the palace together, and the accompanying party was arranged in the position that had been prepared before, according to the requirements of the elves and dwarves, they did not enter the mission room, but chose a relatively quiet open space, and set up tents one after another.
In the process, Rowling and the Dwarf King also met with the Red Flame Emperor, but no one else was present at this meeting, only the three of them stayed alone in the room and started a secret conversation.
As for what was discussed, people outside didn't know, but Xiao Qiang, who was hiding in the accompanying carriage, had absolute confidence in this conversation, and he also informed Rowling of some key requirements during the negotiation as soon as possible, so that he must not let go of his mouth in some aspects, especially when it comes to the garrison.
After all, if the imperial army is allowed to enter the elven city, it is equivalent to piercing a nail in his chest, and he may not be able to break his muscles and bones that day, as for the other requirements that the Chiyan Emperor may make, Xiao Qiang told Luo Lin to judge flexibly according to the existing situation of the Clever Spirit Clan, as long as it does not involve the bottom line, anything can be discussed slowly.
It was also under Xiaoqiang's repeated instructions that Rowling negotiated with the Chiyan Emperor with apprehension, during which the content involved the laws of the empire, as well as trade, and finally when the night slowly fell, the Dwarf King and Rowling walked out of the room, and looking at the expressions on their faces, they were obviously very satisfied with this negotiation.
But this is only the first day of negotiations, and the content involved is only a framework thing, as for the more detailed negotiations, it will take a long time to conclude, so after reaching a preliminary agreement, the two returned to their station in Chiyan City at this moment, and only then did they talk about the content of the negotiations when the three of them sat in front of each other at the round table.
As soon as he sat down, Xiaoqiang asked.
"What's going on, what did the Red Yan Emperor say?"
Seeing that Xiaoqiang was more anxious than herself, Rowling chuckled.
"The negotiation was very successful, what you told me before, Emperor Chiyan agreed, as for the specific details, it will take follow-up detailed negotiations to determine."
Xiaoqiang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said with some joy.
"It seems that Emperor Chiyan also negotiated with the intention of a peaceful settlement, otherwise he would not have agreed to such a request on the first day."
The dwarf king has already met with Xiao Qiang before, and he is even more clear about Xiao Qiang's help to the elves, so he has a good impression of Xiao Qiang in his heart, and at this moment he is anxious about the affairs of the elf clan, and he has a little like this human in his heart, and this kind of love is not the kind of relationship between men and women, but because of the last time he drank, it made him feel like he was at first sight.
The dwarves like to drink, this is something that the whole continent knows, and every dwarf is addicted to alcohol, especially the dwarven king, who never leaves his hand, and the red rosacea nose can explain all this.
For a person who likes to drink, if he encounters an existence that is no less than his own drinking, it will inevitably be an open and secret battle, so under the recommendation of Rowling, Xiao Qiang and the dwarf king met like this, and in order to entertain distinguished guests, the dwarf king naturally took out the treasured spirits and drank with Xiao Qiang.
At the beginning, the dwarf king looked down on this child at all, thinking that he would inevitably get drunk under a glass, but with the cup of strong wine, the dwarf king's head was a little dizzy, but the little strong in front of him was indifferent from beginning to end, not to mention, he would smash his mouth when drinking, as if he was tasting some kind of deliciousness.
