Chapter 509 [Auction of the Northwest Fortress]
Chapter 509
There are fierce generals like Montoya, and there are qualified mid-level officers like Martin. There are civil talents like Baron Pierre, and there are prime ministers like Governor Fritz.
Taking advantage of the wine, Chen Daolin walked out of the banquet hall and came outside, standing in the courtyard of the commander's mansion, looking at a flagpole in the courtyard - the flagpole was still bare at the moment, and there was no flag of the Tulip family or the military flag of the empire.
Chen Daolin suddenly laughed in his heart.
Well, if a big banner of "walking for the sky" is hung here at this moment, it will really look a little like Shuibo Liangshan.
Look at the group of people under him, Montoya and Ade are religious elements bent on subverting the emperor, Baron Pierre and his son are former nobles who are wanted after committing crimes, and Fritz Governor and his son are former courtiers persecuted by the emperor......
Is this simply a miniature version of the Liangshan hero combination?
......
After the dinner, Fiona went to Lowe alone.
Naturally, others won't care, after all, these two people are in a gang.
When they returned to their lodgings and the two were alone, Lowe took the initiative to salute without waiting for Fiona to ask.
Then, this loyal servant of the Tulip family, who has always been known for his stability and rigor, said to Fiona with a solemn face:
"I'm afraid that the Duke's plan for the Northwest Fortress is about to fail!"
......
............
The town south of the Northwest Fortress had fallen into depression since the rebellion of the Northwest Independent Division, and the deformed prosperity that had been formed by various border trades and even smuggling trade had suddenly turned into water after the fall of Sylvester.
At that time, Laudel also teamed up with Baron Pierre to send the followers of the Musou Sect to come here to buy the bottom at a low price, and collected a lot of goods that were originally intended to be smuggled out of the customs. However, the pick-up made a lot of money, and also hoarded a lot of supplies.
It can be said that in this matter, Lodel has made great contributions.
And now, this town, which has been depressed for a long time, is suddenly lively again.
The invitation sent by Chen Daolin at the beginning finally summoned more than 30 large and small imperial chamber of commerce groups one after another.
And Chen Daolin's previous strategy also proved to be successful: at that time, he only sent invitations to some small and medium-sized chambers of commerce, and these small and medium-sized chambers of commerce were not like the large chambers of commerce, with high vision and big shelves. These small and medium-sized chambers of commerce are even more hungry for profit and business.
And when dozens of small and medium-sized chambers of commerce sent people to come. This news was deliberately released by Luo Daer and others, and immediately attracted the attention of several large chambers of commerce:
In the same place, at the same time, attracting so many careful chambers of commerce, there must be some special business opportunities!
As a result, there was no need for Chen Daolin to send another invitation, five or six large-scale chambers of commerce that were first-class in the empire took the initiative to send their own weighty stewards to come. Among them is Chen Daolin's old acquaintance, the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce.
Naturally, the Liszt family, under the summons of the heir of Lodel, also sent a considerable number of people to participate.
Representatives of more than 30 large and small chamber of commerce groups gathered in this town. It immediately gives the town a bustling color, and the hotels and pubs are all full.
Those who did not leave because they were reluctant to leave the industry were finally able to happily take out the sake that had been stored for a long time and sell it. Clearance of food and drinks. It made everyone laugh from ear to ear.
After Chen Daolin's return, there were as many as 36 representatives of the Chamber of Commerce gathered here, and I heard that several more were also on their way.
Chen Daolin spent two days receiving representatives of several large chambers of commerce in the Commander's Mansion. Naturally, there is also a difference between intimacy and intimacy. For example, other representatives of the Chamber of Commerce, Chen Daolin just met and then gave up.
As for the representatives of the Liszt family and the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce, Chen Daolin's attitude was much more kind. Not only did he leave them for dinner, but there was no arrogance in his words.
Finally, after another three or four days, all the representatives of the Chamber of Commerce had arrived, and a total of thirty-nine large and small chambers of commerce in the Roland Empire had sent people.
Those top chamber of commerce business groups naturally only sent some of the family's weighty stewards, while some small and medium-sized business groups simply led the team by the boss himself.
In the afternoon of this day, Chen Daolin summoned representatives of all the chambers of commerce and business groups in a hall in the commander's mansion, and then began to implement his plan.
"First of all, all of you who are here today can come after receiving my invitation, and that is to give me Darling Chen's face, and I thank you all here first. ”
Chen Daolin stood on the platform in front of him, and first owed a slight debt to the audience.
This move immediately aroused the favor of the vast majority of people present: after all, it was a famous magician standing on it! How noble the identity of a magician was, there was naturally no need to talk nonsense.
The dignified magician was able to salute these merchants himself, and his words were so polite, which naturally won the favor of everyone present.
"I know we're all businessmen. Businessmen, chasing is profit, the so-called business in business, if there is no profit, no one will do it. Naturally, I understand this truth. And I have invited you here to discuss a major event -- of course, there are many business opportunities and opportunities to make a fortune in this major event. It depends on whether you have the courage to do it. ”
Of course, everyone wants to make a fortune.
Many people who have come here have already made a lot of speculations in their hearts.
Some people thought that the magician was planning to cooperate with the merchant to do some magic material business. Some of them were well-informed and felt the tense atmosphere in the northwest -- although war was terrible, the opportunity to make war profits was not impossible!
As for some more people, they think deeper!
Now this Northwest Fortress is in the hands of this Darling Master...... At the beginning, that Sylvester made a lot of money by relying on the Northwest Fortress! The Northwest Fortress is the border of the empire, leading directly to the orc kingdom, could it be that this Darling mage plans to follow Sylvester and do this smuggling trade?
But...... I heard that the strength of this Darling mage is not too strong, with only a thousand troops. I'm afraid I don't have the capital to make such a big plate.
At the beginning, Sylvester dared to do that because he had tens of thousands of elite and strong troops in his hands, guarding the border passes. If you don't give him money to buy the goods, you won't want to enter and exit safely! Otherwise, you will be arrested directly on the charge of smuggling, and you will have no place to cry if you kill people and receive the goods!
But this Darling Master is only a thousand people, is he qualified to do this kind of role of sitting on the ground and collecting money?
......
"I'm going to sell you a huge business opportunity, a huge opportunity to make a fortune! I'm going to have something in my hands right now. It's meant to be sold to all of you! This thing is ......."
Chen Daolin said, turned around with a smile, and pointed behind him.
There was a curtain-like thing hanging on the wall, and with a slight wave of Chen Daolin's hand, the curtain fell, revealing a huge map hanging on the wall!
To be exact, this is a military map!!
As soon as they saw this map, the representatives of the thirty-nine families present were all stunned.
Chen Daolin looked at everyone. He said with a smile: "What I want to auction today is this Northwest Fortress!"
Rumble!!!
The audience was in an uproar!
......
............
"You see, this is the Northwest Fortress, to be exact. It is a group of fortresses in the northwest, an important border town in the northwest of the empire. In addition to the main castle of the northwest fortress, on the east and west sides of the main castle, there are also forty-three fortresses of various sizes on the north side.
These forts. They all sit at critical checkpoints, holding the roads leading to the north large and small, which can be described as dangerous and critical terrain.
I made a detailed division of forty-three fortresses, large and small.
Among them. There were eleven forts that occupied some of the relatively wide roads on the flat terrain, and I marked them all with red marks on the map.
And in addition, there are twenty-one blue markings, and these represent some others, in terms of terrain, roads, geographical location, second only to the red mark fort. These twenty-one blue fortresses, in terms of the scale of the main building of the fortress, as well as the terrain of the passage road guarded, are also slightly smaller.
Of course, as for the other more than a dozen fortresses, I have completely abandoned them after careful research, and those places, which are not in good geographical locations, are not of much value, and I have not marked them on this map. ”
Speaking of this, Chen Daolin smiled and said, "So, everyone, what I want to sell to you today are these eleven red fortresses and twenty-one blue fortresses. ”
There was a noise and uproar below, with each other, surprised, dazed, and even a few frowning and disdainful......
Chen Daolin was not in a hurry, he stood there patiently, and waited for the noise below to last for about five or six minutes, and gradually quieted down, before he smiled and said, "I know that everyone must have a lot of questions in their hearts, now, if you have any questions, you can come and ask me." ”
Sure enough, sitting in the crowd, there was immediately a slightly chubby guy who said loudly: "Master Darling! I have a question...... Every fortress is a military building of the Empire, and it belongs to the Empire, so where are we, the merchants, qualified to buy it? Besides, ...... You seem to ...... It doesn't seem that he is qualified to sell these imperial military fortresses casually, right?"
Chen Daolin laughed and secretly gave this fat man an appreciative look.
