Mystery: Mr. Witch and Miss Hunter

Chapter 302 White Pharmaceuticals, transferred to Fusac?
They actually saw it?Adele was taken aback for a moment, but then relieved.

It is obvious that Mr. "Moon" likes dolls is not just a matter of a day or two. It is unlikely that his parents are not aware of his son's hobby, otherwise they would not be busy helping their son to arrange similar things.

However, they seem to be quite pessimistic about their children being able to find a girlfriend with their own abilities... Adele thought narrowly.

Just now she asked herself that she didn't reveal any flaws, but Furlong White and Erwin White's attitudes were still so firm, and they said that a child is better than a mother, or is there nothing more sad than a heart?
(As the saying goes, it’s enough to understand the spirit, don’t worry about whether there is such a saying in the mysterious world, just ask Russell)

"Come over here and talk."

Erwin White pointed to the chair in front of him, and Furlong White led Adele to sit beside him.

At this time, the dance party downstairs was basically over. Some gentlemen and ladies went to the card room together, preparing to play Texas Hold'em or "Fight Evil" for a while, while the rest of the women walked towards the living room surrounded by Emlyn who was a little at a loss. Going to keep trying.

Generally speaking, I don’t know if it’s because of the presence of a human being like Adele, but the vampires showed more restraint, and it didn’t appear as Adele imagined. Halfway through the banquet, the Whites suddenly pushed out A scene where a comatose living person tied to an iron frame entertained the crowd was no different from the noble banquet of the Loen Kingdom as a whole.

And similar banquets, when Adele served as a personal servant in order to assassinate Baron Syndras, he had already prepared several times, and the novelty had long since disappeared.

The room the Whites and she were in was one of many rooms on the second floor, and seemed to be a small room dedicated to discussing some intimate topics.

Adele noticed that there was still a layer of dust on the edge of the window sill. It seemed that in order to cause as little trouble as possible, they even rarely hired servants.If there is no banquet today, I am afraid that only a few of the huge rooms will be used.

I like grand ostentation, but I also like exquisite accessories... According to records, the former tendency appeared later than the latter. Could it be the influence of Lilith, the ancestor of the blood race, who returned from the corpse and became the mother of the earth?Lilith replaced Omebella, but Omebella also influenced Lilith to some extent?
While diverging her thoughts, Adele kept a polite smile on her face, watching Erwin White unfold the file in her hand.

"The kid Emlyn has mentioned you to us many times, and it's rare that he speaks very highly of you. He also mentioned the cooperation between the two companies before."

Furlong is a middle-aged blood with outstanding demeanor. Although she looks only a little older than Emlyn in appearance, she and Erwin are both close to 80 years old.

"Yes. Emlyn has never praised people very much, and I was surprised at the time. Originally, these matters should be left to Emlyn to handle by himself, but since it involves the company, and he brought you here today, I and Furlong just wanted to get to know you in advance and discuss specific cooperation details."

Elvin White took out a stack of papers full of words from the briefcase on the table, on which was the introduction of White Company and some image materials.

"Look first, you can ask me if there are things that are not detailed."

Erwin handed the stack of documents to Adele.Emlyn has specially sorted out part of the information on the Queen's Island Shipping Company before, and he already has a preliminary understanding.

"Okay." Adele didn't refuse, took the stack of materials and began to read.

From the information, she found that the history of White Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. was unexpectedly short. It was even established less than a year earlier than Adele's Queen's Island Shipping Company, but it occupied nearly [-]% of the pharmaceutical market near Backlund. one third.

Moreover, they not only produce potions, but also produce shampoos, shower gels and other chemical preparations related to life, especially shampoos made from the sap of the Doningsman tree, which are in short supply in the Loen market, even if there is no similar demand Venata, who used to always like to rub against Altaïr.

Adele flipped a page casually, suddenly let out a little surprise, and carefully looked at the data on this page.

According to the data, starting from the second half of last year, the expansion momentum of White Pharmaceutical Company has fallen like a cliff, and the growth rate of sales has also dropped suddenly.The gap in sales volume, which was nearly double that of the subsequent company, was almost equalized at this time.

Seeing this, Adele thought that the Whites had made a wrong decision. However, after reading the reports later, they found that the White Company not only had no hard mistakes, but improved the technology and reduced the cost. In theory, the income should be It is right not to decrease but to increase.

As soon as she thought about asking the Whites, she caught sight of the expressions of the two blood races out of the corner of her eye. There was a little expectation in their eyes, which made her hold back her words.

This may be the other party's test, it depends on whether you can see the crux...

Adele took a deep breath, carefully recalling what she saw and heard at Baron Syndras' house in July and August last year, trying to find out the answer by herself.

Fortunately, it's actually not that hard to guess.There is no problem with White Company itself, and the market has not shrunk for no reason, so there is only one possibility left, which is resistance from peers.

Ruen's economic level is much stronger than that of Intis and Fusac. From the perspective of economic aggregate, it is almost equivalent to the sum of the two countries.However, the money is not all in the treasury, most of it is in the hands of big industrialists.The political strength of the new party is also benefiting from these new nobles.

Under such circumstances, there are organizations in all walks of life that Russell has turned into trusts. They control the market, monopolize the origin of raw materials and the scope of investment, and others either join the trust and lose their independence, or they are squeezed out by the trust. Rule out.

According to what she has just heard, the long-lived species represented by blood races have a natural sense of superiority in the face of short-lived species such as humans. Let alone joining the circle of the medical trust, I am afraid that the Whites did not treat each other at all. Seriously, the opponent didn't care about it during the early expansion, but later saw that they developed too fast, so naturally they had to find a way to punish them.

To be honest, Adele has little interest in similar financial struggles.The doomsday is coming, fighting with these guys who are kept in the dark, not to mention a waste of energy, may even delay the big event.

But Emlyn probably doesn't think so. After all, he is a demigod and a noble blood race. There are many things he can't think of, and he doesn't bother to think about them.Whether it is him or the Whites, their understanding of the struggle in the market is still at the level of simple "my product is of high quality and low price, so I should win".

And Adele didn't think about changing their thinking in the past. The prejudice accumulated by the blood race for thousands of years is deeply rooted. She is an instigator, not a dream weaver like Miss Audrey. Potions containing extraordinary materials are also much more effective than ordinary ones.Based on these, it is enough to deal with ordinary business wars.

However, if the White Company really matched up with the traditional aristocrats, it would not be enough.Adele had a premonition that if the Whites and his wife really went with the big nobles in accordance with their ideas, their pharmaceutical company might not recover until the end came.

Just what she heard from Baron Syndras about the methods used in the commercial war made Adele feel terrified.These methods have nothing to do with personal strength, even if Emlyn is a demigod, it is impossible to turn the poker table.

If the Whites continue to operate according to the strategy of the Whites, not only various scandals will definitely be inevitable, but also various methods such as malicious disturbances and counterfeit products will be used by these industrialists.

Of course, what Adele is most worried about is that the fact that the Whites are blood clans is being used.You must know that Backlund is full of disasters. After the two extraordinary disasters, the attitude of the people of Backlund towards extraordinary races and extraordinary events has reached the worst level in history.At this time, if the identity of the other party's blood family is exposed, Adele would definitely not want to see the riots that would be caused.

When it was time to do so, the nobles had no reason to hesitate.After all, no matter how they operate, they can earn money.

Thinking of this, Adele put the documents in her hand on the table, and said solemnly to the Whites:

"I have basically understood the situation. Mr. White, during this period, has your company received letters from certain nobles, or other hints?"

"Yes, but we didn't respond, because they invited Emlyn. Not to mention that he had been in the Southern Continent before, even if he was in Backlund, he was still the Earl of the Blood Race. There is no need to mingle with some human barons."

Erwin nodded, and said indifferently, but in Adele's eyes, his expression was as irritating as Emlyn's.

They want to save face, and the big shots on the trust side also want to save face. Of course, it is impossible to come to talk to the Whites in person at the beginning.Those barons with little savings are most likely just mouthpieces. Unlike the real power faction like Baron Syndras, their status can't just be judged by the size of the title.

However, the Whites didn't understand the rules, and they didn't want to understand the rules of human nobles, so they were resisted, making the pharmaceutical company's progress slow.

When Adele first entered the Tarot Society, Emlyn often reported the progress of his pharmaceutical company in a showy manner, but after Adele was promoted to Sequence Seven, he hardly mentioned it anymore. It seems that since then, the company has been jointly suppressed by traditional industrialists.

"I thought about it carefully just now, and I think that your company is in a very dangerous situation now, and it is urgent to find another way."

After calming down for a while, Adele said to the suspicious White couple, "Perhaps you don't know yet, there is a monopoly organization composed of industrialists at the top of all walks of life in Loen, which Emperor Roselle called Trust, which has gathered almost all the resources of the peers, it is difficult for you to compete."

"And when the other party offered you good intentions, you rejected the other party's good intentions. Now that the sanctions have been launched, if you try to show good intentions again, you will be in a very passive position."

Adele explained as patiently as she could, regardless of whether they could listen or not.

"So, what's your idea?"

Furlong and Erwin looked at each other and asked Adele.

"My thinking is that anyway, your purpose is to expand your influence as much as possible. It's not worthwhile to continue to fight those rich nobles in Backlund. It's better to transfer it."

Adele found out the long pipe hidden on her body like magic, and played with it in her hand.It was Gagland's legacy to her, and although she didn't like to smoke, she would occasionally use the pipe to smoke some homemade herbal smoke when she needed a lift.

——Actually, there are spiritual materials in the cigarette Gagran smokes, otherwise he wouldn't be ignited by the black fire.For the witch, this kind of smoke is closer to the material of casting spells than spiritual enjoyment.

"You said transfer?" Erwin frowned, "The company's current turnover is still growing slightly, even if it is not as fast as it was when it was first established, but it is too early to talk about giving up the Backlund market now. ?”

"Maybe, but I have to remind you that the transfer of the company is not something that can be completed in a short while. Especially now that you have come to the Southern Continent, judging from the timeliness of information, it is possible that White Company is now facing Follow the opponent's counterattack."

Adele tapped the information on the table with her pipe, "Even if you don't plan to withdraw in the end, it's not a bad thing to prepare early. Don't forget, the purpose of White Company's establishment is to promote these medicines, not to fight with these people. Industrial aristocrats who only have money are fighting needlessly bad battles in Backlund, where demand is limited."

After finishing speaking, she brought the pipe to her mouth, lit it with a black fire, and inhaled the smoke from the burning powder mixed with various herbs such as mint and mandrake, and immediately felt her spirits shaken.

"...Well, what you said makes sense."

Elvin White pondered for a while, "However, this matter is of great importance after all, and the specific details need to be discussed in detail. Now, can you please explain in detail, this transfer, where is the transfer?"

According to him, it's better to transfer to the southern continent, either East or West Balam is fine.Here, as the area where the Rose School of thought used to be active on a large scale, there will naturally be no shortage of potion materials that Extraordinary people of the moon path can use.After all, the Rose School of Thought has its own "Witch King".

Moreover, for blood races whose body temperature has always been low, the warm climate in northern Balam allows them not to wear thick cotton pajamas and nightcaps all the year round like they did in Backlund, making their body lines look more graceful Some.

However, Adele just raised her eyebrows and gave an answer that the Whites had never thought of.

"That's needless to say, of course it's Fusac."
