Chapter 512 [Thirty-two Joint Defense]
Chapter 512 [Thirty-two Joint Defense]
Fiona was forced into a corner by Chen Daolin's words, and stared at Chen Daolin with a red face, but she couldn't speak. Those eyes were full of anger and resentment.
Chen Daolin no longer looked at her, but said to the audience: "Let me explain a little to you first." This Northwest Fortress is now in my hands. Therefore, I would like to make it clear here that no one can have the privilege of taking more than others in today's auction and distribution! If you want something, you must follow the rules I have set and pay the conditions that you should pay. Listen up...... Oh, yes, there's only one house that has a privilege, and that's me. ”
In the end, Chen Daolin smiled deliberately. Many of the merchants below also laughed dryly.
This joke, which was not funny, did not ease the atmosphere in the slightest.
Many businessmen secretly looked at Fiona, guessing how the woman would react.
......
In fact, Chen Daolin would not have wanted to make things so drastic.
But after all, the actions of this woman named Fiona have exceeded the bottom line in Chen Daolin's heart: no matter how powerful and awesome you Tulip is, you can go to other people's homes, be on other people's territory, and dictate other people's businesses, without the consent of the owner, just let it out and say: No matter what you do, I want to take a large share anyway.
No one can stand the change in the world.
This woman has really been in Tulip's house for a long time, and she has no sense of crisis at all, thinking that as long as she is in the northwest, everyone will have to look at her Tulip's family's face to beg for a living?
For these merchants, it is a different matter: this Darling Master just now so unscrupulously refuted the face of the Tulip Family Chief...... It can be big or small.
If you offend the Tulip family because of this, then ...... With the Tulip family's power in the northwest, I'm afraid that this Darling Master won't be able to do business.
At this time, everyone has to watch the reaction of the female butler of the tulip family.
If Fiona turned her face on the spot, then needless to say...... Most of the leading figures in the business circles in the northwest will immediately turn around and leave! After all, they are begging for a living in this part of the northwest. If you are wrapped up with a group that has offended the Tulip family, it is purely to find yourself unhappy.
If this is the case, then no matter how deceptive Darling Chan is just now, how much wealth opportunity will this financial road bring...... No one dares to touch it anymore.
But if this woman doesn't turn her face......
......
Fiona's face suddenly turned red, standing on the spot, being watched by everyone, but Chen Daolin next to him was not in a hurry at all, his face seemed to be very calm and indifferent, and even his eyes were very calm, just looking at Fiona in no hurry. Even...... Fiona faintly felt that there was a hint of mockery and banter in this guy's eyes.
Fiona instinctively wanted to get angry and turn her face!
When I was in the south, I had put up with this guy enough! Not only did I rob the Governor of Fritz, but I ruined my own plan of solicitation. What's even more infuriating is that when he mentions his own governor on the road, there is never any sense of awe or respect in this Darling Chen's words.
Now they are all in the northwest, but they still have this attitude, the tulip family has always been like this in the northwest, and everyone thinks there is nothing wrong with doing so. I asked for a benefit for the family, and these other merchants had no objection, but you didn't want to do it, but the family helped you so much......
Moreover, as the head of the tulip family. Where had she been so angry? On the spot, her face instinctively turned red, and a wave of anger surged up from her heart, and she was about to attack.
But suddenly, Fiona saw Chen Daolin's strange eyes. Suddenly, the woman's heart moved, and her thoughts suddenly moved: he. He can't be deliberately provoking me, is he?!
At this time, Lowe had already quietly walked over, came behind Fiona, and slowly pulled Fiona's sleeve.
After all, this military adjutant beside Du Weiwei was a fine and calm person, and he immediately saw that something was wrong!
And the strangeness in Chen Daolin's eyes made Luo Wei also feel a bit of danger.
Luo Wei suddenly remembered that although this Mr. Darling Chen seems to be very kind on weekdays, he has a strong desire to control his own affairs, and will never allow and tolerate others to interfere in his own affairs.
And, to be honest, when the Duke gave the Northwest Fortress to Darling Chen, he had already expressed his stance to let it go. Since she had already given something to someone, Fiona suddenly jumped out and posed as if she was the master, which was indeed a bit of a cross-line.
With Chen Daolin's usual domineering style......
Luo Wei suddenly felt a chill in his heart: This Darling Chen, wouldn't he want to deliberately provoke Fiona, and then take the opportunity to return the hot potato of the Northwest Fortress to the family, right?
Lovie pulled Fiona's sleeve, then leaned over and whispered something in Fiona's ear.
It was this sentence that made Fiona's face suddenly pale, she took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, glanced at Chen Daolin deeply, and smiled reluctantly: "Yes...... It was my rudeness. Master Darling. After all, I am a guest, and I dare not overstep the bounds, and you are still in charge of your industry. ”
After a pause, Fiona gritted her teeth and said: "I'm a little unwell, so I'll go back and rest first, and in the next auction, please ask Mr. Lowe to participate in the next auction instead of the Tulip family, everyone, I'm out of company." ”
Watching Fiona leave the venue in despair, Chen Daolin sighed in his heart.
It's a pity......
If this woman really dared to turn her face just now, it would be good.
You can take advantage of the situation and pretend to turn your face on the spot, and then shout out something like "If you like to call the shots so much, the Northwest Fortress will be returned to you......
When the time comes, take the opportunity to withdraw the men and horses from here......
Alas, it's a pity.
......
After that, Chen Daolin announced the conditions of the auction.
This condition surprised many chambers of commerce.
Chen Daolin's conditions were not too high, but ......
Too low!!
As everyone knows, this is almost the same as monopolizing foreign trade along the northwestern borders of the Roland Empire - and without having to pay a single copper plate tax to the Empire!
This has always been a tacit agreement between the empire and the tulip family: the tulip family defends the empire, and the empire cedes the benefits of the outbound trade here to the tulip family.
......
Since it is such a large amount of wealth, when it is auctioned out......
This Master Darling Chen, he actually ......
Don't want money!!
Unlike in the previous days of Sylvester, the rules for the Northwest Independent Division to sit on the ground and collect money were different.
Chen Daolin listed all the 32 different fortresses with clear prices: the prices were not listed in monetary units.
But......
Number!
......
"Everybody's clear. On the opposite side of the Northwest Fortress there is something zài. Those orcs are not pacifists, and those guys' eyes will turn red when they see wealth. Since we occupy this northwest fortress group, if we want to occupy this place and occupy this financial road for a long time, we need everyone to work together to protect our own industry!
Each of these thirty-two forts occupies a vital position and is located on an important road. Whether it's as a transit point for freight, a hoarding point, or a supply point. All in a very good location.
Once you've taken a picture, you can't leave this place empty in the future, right?
Ladies and gentlemen, most of your own chambers of commerce have a lot of guard warriors as a guardian force for the perennial merchants. I think it's in order to defend our own industry and trade routes. So if the people who took pictures of the fortress hoarded the point in order to protect this transit station on weekdays. Supply Point ...... You have to send someone to guard it, right?
Not to mention much, two or three hundred people stationed in this red fortress is not much.
The blue fortress is a hundred and eighty men. Not less. ”
When these words came out, everyone immediately felt eye-opening.
This Darling mage, he really doesn't want money?!
It stands to reason that these forts were photographed by each family. Naturally, they had to send guards to garrison them—even if Chen Daolin didn't say it, everyone would do it.
But now, this Darling Chen took this kind of thing for granted as the price of the auction - did he lack the heart, or did he deliberately give everyone money to spend?
What else is this auctioning? Isn't it equivalent to giving it away to everyone for free?
But at this time. Chen Daolin had already narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly: "Everyone, don't think I'm crazy, the condition I mentioned is not so easy to do." ”
Saying that, Chen Daolin said softly: "Thirty-two fortresses, the minimum auction price of the red fortress is two hundred, and the minimum auction price of the blue fortress is eighty people-that is to say, once your chamber of commerce auctions this fortress, then you must be able to fill in the number of guards in this fortress that is not lower than the auction price."
Ladies and gentlemen, this may seem like a simple condition, but I have two additional conditions.
First of all, I want to check the quality of this guard! You all listen, the north side of the fortress is the orcs! If something goes wrong, this fortress is the place to protect everyone's property. Therefore, the selection of this guard must not be bad!
Don't think that you can get a hundred and eighty rabble and get rid of one of my fortresses!
I don't expect the guards sent by the merchants to meet the standards of the Empire's elite army. But at least, the overall level must not be lower than that of the local garrison.
And what about the second condition I mentioned...... My request is very simple: These guards you have sent must obey my unified deployment! That is to say, the 32 fortresses must form a joint defense, and the 32 guards must be concentrated and cannot fight separately.
If you only think about yourself, then you might as well not join it as soon as possible.
The guards of the thirty-two families must be uniformly subject to my deployment - there is no room for bargaining on this condition, if you accept it, we will continue the auction, if you don't accept it, you can leave immediately. (To be continued......)
