"Adults are really rare guests, it is really a pleasure to meet adults here, and the little ones are really gratifying!" The old fox guided Si Duhan and the fat man to the corner of the banquet, and the surprised face just now immediately turned into flattery, and the fat man didn't expect to meet this old fox here, so he nodded slightly, "Why are you here, isn't this a banquet where southern merchants gather?"
"Hehe, the Nissa family used to be a frequent visitor to our Hertha, and this time we established this merchant association, and also sent me an invitation" Lidastov had a flattering smile on his face, his eyes were staring at the president of the business alliance in front of him, Si Duhan, but his mouth was talking to the fat man, "This time the adults can attend in person, the Nissa family will definitely be pleasantly surprised!"
People who don't know will definitely think that the old fox is currying favor with Si Duhan, and the fat man in ordinary clothes next to him is an ordinary small businessman, such a small businessman with a bit of opportunist face is not uncommon in Riwache, although I don't know how this guy got into such a high-end banquet, but no one will care about this small role anymore, most people's eyes are on Si Duhan's body
The president of the Zhivading Chamber of Commerce, the uncrowned king of the entire southern commercial community, the commercial alliance under his rule was like a behemoth, the tentacles of commerce reached almost any region of the continent, from the Habsburgs in the far south, to the court of Kugit in the north, countless merchants gathered in Zhivading from all directions, the goods were sold out in one day, and then the carriages of transportation from all over the country filled the warehouses again at night, and the sun sank and the moon rose, this commercial myth was played out again and again in Zhivadin, and everyone was jealous of the good fortune of the commercial alliance, and through the mercantile policy of the local Samoor, the entire southern trade was brought to an unprecedented era, of course, the majority of unconvinced ingredients,
"If I had such a good opportunity, I would have made the whole business better!"
Now there is another big family that has a close relationship with the local lord to stand up, this time the Nissa family established the merchant association, itself has a bit of a sense of tearing down the corner of the business alliance, many big businessmen are speculating that the Nissa family's merchant association and the business alliance must have a dragon and tiger fight, so when everyone heard the arrival of the business alliance representative, their faces couldn't help but show a little hope, a little concern,
"Who will be the protagonist of this meeting?" Although everyone was still gathered in their own small circles, their eyes were always on Si Duhan, and of course there were a few people who stared at the flattering Lidastov with unkind faces, and secretly shouted in their hearts, "Old fox!"
"Lord Marquis Nissa has arrived!"
The graceful aristocratic girl standing at the door of the banquet signed up crisply, and a richly dressed middle-aged hook-nosed nobleman walked in from the door of the hall surrounded by several juniors, and the fat man saw an acquaintance behind the hook-nose, the "stupid girl" Nizastani who exchanged 1 million gold coins with a broken knife
"Distinguished guests, the halls of the House of Nissa will be glorified forever because of your presence today."
The Marquis of Nessa glanced at the people in the hall with a smile on his face, the aristocratic taste was full of greeting the big merchants, and the smiling face suddenly froze, as if swallowing a big green-headed fly alive, and the hands that were originally elegant and elegant trembled slightly because of suppressed indignation, and their two eyes stared into the distance like flames
"How did this hillbilly get in!"
The fat man's gray cloth clothes, which were inferior to those of a servant, looked so dazzling in this colorful and gorgeous community, and his impressive speculative face made the Marquis of Nyssa see him at a glance
"At this moment destined to be written into the annals of family history, how can there be such a defeated guy!"
The Marquis of Nissa waved his hand slightly to the juniors behind him, and immediately several young nobles walked towards the fat man
"I'm sorry, please show me your invitation!"
"Oh?" The fat man was also stunned, although he knew that the storm would always come, but he didn't expect it to be so early, and now there is still a certain distance from the expected **
"Please show your post, or let us throw you filthy pariah!"
Several young nobles saw the stupid look of the fat man, and guessed that this guy must have been brought in by a businessman who didn't want to anger the Nissian family, and in front of the glorious and noble Nissa family, these merchants who were just second-rate families did not dare to resist, and couldn't help but stretch out their hands more arrogantly, ready to catch the fat man
"Presumptuous!"
The fat man has the bloody smell of perennial battlefield battles, and he usually looks stupid, but once he is angry, that kind of violent killing aura even a rough person like Croissatt dare not speak, not to mention these delicate nobles, who were stunned by the sudden outbreak of the fat man's strength
"Smack"
The angry fat man slapped the young nobleman in the front in the face, flapped the nobleman to the ground, his eyes were white, the corners of his mouth were foaming, and he had fainted, and the other people who were frightened no longer dared to step forward.
"Guards!
The Marquis of Nissa turned pale with anger, and pointed to the fat man standing there and said, "Immediately arrest this untouchable man for me and throw him into the family's water prison!"
The other merchants in the hall couldn't help but show a little indignation on their faces when they heard the Marquis of Nissa call the fat man a pariah, but in front of the Marquis of Nissa they dared not speak out.
"Wait! Is this the hospitality of the House of Nissard?"
Baron Siduhan, who was beside the fat man, stretched out his hand to stop a few guards who were about to rush up, and said in a fierce voice, "This Lord Halisa is a distinguished guest of our business alliance, if the Nissa family does not welcome it, our business alliance will withdraw from this meeting!"
"The show has finally begun!" all the merchants looked at the rival Siduhan and the Marquis of Nissa with playful smiles, they did not expect that this fat man in ordinary clothes would become the fuse of the confrontation between the two strongest forces in the southern trade world, and the little man in his mind suddenly became the protagonist of the scene
Or the business alliance was originally planned like this, using an inconsequential little person to provoke a war, it is a pity to lose, but it does not hurt the business alliance at all, and it can also make the glorious Nissa family lose face, if it wins, this time the Nissa family will really be disgraced and thrown home.
For such an elaborate "win-win" plan, the representatives of other business families had to take a look at Si Duhangao, it is easy to bring the little people in, it may be calculated that the little people will become the weakness of the Nissa family, but it requires considerable scheming, such a character, no wonder they can create a monster like the business alliance, if they know, the inconsequential little person in their eyes is the master of this qiē, I don't know what kind of expression it will be.
Seeing Si Duhan come forward, Marquis Nisa's face was like a changing multicolored vase, red and blue mixed together, for Si Duhan's shot, Marquis Nissa had already been on guard, but he didn't expect the business alliance's move to be so fast, so accurate, just like the fat man's violent slap just now, slapped on the face of the Nissa family, and the Nessa family was dizzy, and was embarrassed for a while
"You all go down, since you are President Stuhan's honored guest, then forget it this time!"
After all, the Marquis of Nissa is an old man, and knowing that if this matter is more serious, it will only make the face of the Nissa family even more disgraceful, so he had to swallow this sullen breath, and waved his hand at the guard who appeared at the door, with a bit of unwilling ridicule and mockery in his mouth
"But such an impudent person can become a distinguished guest of Zhivadin, and Zhivadin's business alliance is really degenerate!"
"The Business Alliance is a merchant organization, no matter what his origin, no matter what goods he trades, whether he is a noble nobleman or a humble merchant, in the eyes of our Business Alliance, he is the same!" Studhan smiled charmingly at the sneer of the Marquis of Nissa with a charming smile on his face
"As long as he is a merchant, as long as it is beneficial to our merchants, he can become a distinguished guest of our business alliance, whether it is everyone present, or the honorable Marquis of Nissa , as long as he comes to our Zhivadine, we will treat him like any other distinguished guest!"
In this era of lord and aristocracy, no matter how prominent the merchant family is, it is only a second-rate family, and in the eyes of the lord and nobles, it is the object of arbitrary oppression and bullying, this rare equality and respect is like a thunderbolt, so that the representatives of other families can't help but be shocked
"Compared with the arrogant Nissa family in front of him, even a fool can feel that the Zhivading Business Alliance is the most suitable partner for him!"
"That's a great thing President Stuwarham said, let's make a toast to President Stuhan's generosity!"
Lidastov raised his wine glass in time and cheered, most of the merchant representatives in the audience raised their wine glasses to celebrate, and a small number of people, their eyes stared at the Marquis of Nissa with a red face, obviously the helper invited by the Nissa family this time.
"Good! good!" Marquis Nissa blushed, but he couldn't attack, he had to suppress the anger in his heart, and raised his glass like everyone else, "Damn Stuhan, we'll see!
The confrontation before the meeting made the business representatives at the meeting already smell a strong smell of fire, and the tense and oppressive atmosphere finally broke out on the second topic of the meeting.
"We, the Nissa family, will form the entire southern merchant family into a merchant federation" The Marquis of Nissa waved the text in his hand excitedly, "The Dardanelles family of Riwa Cheze has allowed us to trade at a low price internally and raise prices externally, I believe that this powerful business organization with the support of local lords can maximize our interests and allow you to get endless gold coins"
"It's not creative, it's ridiculous!" the fat man who sat at the end of the seat muttered with a look of annoyance, his voice was very low, but in the quiet time when the Marquis of Nyssa had just finished speaking, the dozens of business representatives on both sides of the long table could hear it clearly
The enchanting young woman in red heard the fat man's funny muttering, and actually laughed out loud, and her charming face caused several nearby representatives to look in a trance, and some other representatives also showed strange and funny expressions, obviously wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh out loud.
"Representative Halisa, please pay attention to your words! This is the hall of the noble House of Nissa Family" The leader standing beside the Marquis of Nissa , the graceful girl scolded, "If it weren't for the forgiveness of the Marquis, a rude person like you would have been expelled a long time ago"
"What! Could it be that if you tell the truth, you will also be driven out?" the fat man blinked aggrievedly, "Internal price reduction is originally a whimsical and ridiculous thing, we have lowered the internal price, but will those lords and lords on the road also lower the checkpoint tax?" The cost of transporting the goods all the way to the Riwa car is already outrageously high, and now we will raise the price by another level, who will buy our goods, the goods cannot be sold, what is the effect of our internal price reduction, it is simply self-deception! Do you think this is a Samar who does not want tariffs?"
"You, you!" the fat man's words stimulated the face of the girl behind the Marquis of Nissa to turn red, and it caused all the merchant representatives to talk one after another, and for a moment the whole hall was like a fly in the sky "mmmmmm".
