Chapter 112 Business Mutual Aid Association
Looking at Andy's suspicious eyes, Locke didn't know what to say, the slap in the face came too quickly.
But you can't blame him. Who would have thought that this toilet was built better than the surrounding houses.
Unless this toilet is for the exclusive use of the lord, aren't toilets private? Why are they built in residential areas? Could it be that the lord here has some special hobbies?
Locke couldn't help but ask the militiamen leading the way:
"Is this place close to the castle?"
"It's not very close, you still have to walk for a while."
"Then why did your lord build the castle's toilet here? Wouldn't it be troublesome?"
"Who said this is the lord's toilet? The lord's toilet must be in the castle."
The militiaman glanced at Locke and thought that this man was not a fool.
Locke naturally saw the meaning in the militiaman's eyes, and he asked with an embarrassed look:
"Who else but the lord is qualified to have such a toilet?"
"For us, this is the public toilet specially built for us by the lord."
The militiaman replied with a proud look on his face.
"What? Public toilet? How is this possible!"
Locke had an expression of disbelief on his face.
It wasn't until he saw civilians walking out of the toilet that he confirmed that this toilet was really a public toilet for civilians.
But why? Are there any benefits to building public toilets for civilians?
Locke suddenly remembered something. He turned his head and looked at the streets he passed, guessing Ryan's intention of building a public toilet.
"It's normal for Director Locke to not understand. After all, the lords of small places always have some strange ideas and cannot be treated with common sense."
Andy comforted him from the side, but everyone could hear the gloating in his tone.
Locke did not pay attention to him, but then asked the militiamen:
"Besides this toilet, are there public toilets in other parts of the town?"
"Yes, three toilets have been built now, and the fourth toilet will be completed soon."
"What's the point of building so many toilets? I really don't understand what the lord of this place is thinking."
Andy continued to interject.
The militiaman glared at Andy, wondering if this guy could speak. If Captain Raymond hadn't repeatedly emphasized that they were the lord's guests, he would have let the rock dog bite!
The militiaman suppressed his anger and said:
"Of course the purpose of building toilets is for defecation. Could it be that this distinguished Hakka's toilet is used for other purposes? Then I have learned a lot!"
After he finished speaking, he turned around and led the way, leaving Andy to yell and curse angrily from behind.
"What does he mean by saying this? Are you mocking me? How dare a mere Warcraft user speak to me like this! He is indeed a ruthless man born in poor mountains and rivers! If he were in Guanhai City, I would have to let his whole family suffer. Punishment is not possible!”
Locke rolled his eyes quietly when he heard this.
You also know that this is not Guanhai City, and you really think that people in other places have to pamper you.
He really couldn't understand why such a shrewd businessman as the vice president could raise the next generation to be so stupid.
Not only Andy, I heard that several other children of the vice-president were also used to being lawless and causing trouble in Guanhai City all day long.
But the vice president's eldest son is obviously very smart. Could it be that he is really what he suspected before?
Locke turned to look at Andy, his eyes no longer filled with disgust, but with a bit more pity.
It seems that the vice president has chosen the heir long ago. In order to prevent other children from threatening his eldest son, he even did not hesitate to train them into playboys.
This is not an unfounded speculation by Locke. He has long suspected it. He has been with the vice president for so many years and knows the vice president’s character very well. He is very likely to do such a thing for the sake of the stable inheritance of the family. of.
Although the risk of cultivating only one heir is a bit high, it is much better than the next generation killing each other for inheritance rights, and avoids the risk of the family being torn apart.
What's more, he doesn't just ignore other children, he will still consider their future, such as placing Andy in the team that talks about cooperation on this trip.
If the cooperation is negotiated, then he will have reason to arrange a position for Andy. Not to mention anything else, the position of a supervisor is indispensable, but Andy may only be able to be a supervisor in this life, and there is absolutely no chance of getting involved. Family power.
It seems that I will get closer to the vice president's eldest son in the future.
In the past, Locke only suspected that the vice president might do this. After spending the past few days with Andy and thinking about it, he had determined that the vice president thought so.
In this case, Andy's willfulness and stupidity are excusable. After all, it is difficult to educate someone well, but it is still easy to educate someone badly.
Thinking of this, Locke stopped preaching to Andy out of pity, but explained softly:
"Master Andy, you don't need to be familiar with him. He is just a small militiaman. He doesn't know your noble status. When he meets the lord here, I will let the lord punish him."
When Andy heard Locke calling him Master, he couldn't help showing a surprised expression on his face.
His father emphasized before the team set off that everyone in the team must listen to Director Locke's instructions. In order to establish Locke's dominant position, he also specifically stated that Locke was not allowed to call him master and would only treat him as an ordinary clerk.
And Locke has always done this. He never called him Master along the way, and he always lectured him. Why was he suddenly so polite to him now?
Before Andy could think more, he heard Locke continue:
"The lord of Firefly Town is named Ryan, right? I heard he's not very old, but his ideas are pretty good. At first, I didn't understand the purpose of building so many toilets for civilians, until I took a look at the street. the ground.”
"Have you not noticed that the streets of Yinghuo Town are very clean? Unlike other towns, the streets are full of excrement and there is no place to put your feet. This is the function of public toilets."
"Residents go to public toilets to relieve themselves, so there will naturally be no excrement on the streets, so the streets here are even cleaner than those in Guanhai City."
“Although the merchant gathering area in our Guanhai City is relatively clean, other places are still very dirty. I think their method of building public toilets is worth learning from Guanhai City.”
After hearing what Locke said, Andy said with some disdain:
"Director Locke said it lightly. Do you know how many people there are in Guanhai City? How many toilets will be built? Who will pay for it?"
"No chamber of commerce will pay to build toilets for civilians. Anyway, as long as the business area is clean, it doesn't matter how dirty other places are."
Locke couldn't refute it for a moment. He actually felt that what Andy said was quite reasonable. Businessmen were unprofitable and could not afford to be early. Even if someone paid to build a toilet, they would definitely charge civilians.
Naturally, civilians will not pay to go to the toilet, but will still defecate everywhere.
It seems that he thought of the problem too simply and did not see the problem as thoroughly as Andy did.
"You're right, I didn't think well, but it also shows that Lord Ryan is a very thoughtful person, and he was able to come up with a way to build public toilets to make the streets clean."
"Hmph, the toilet or something, after all, I still can't get on the countertop."
Locke saw the angry expression on Andy's face and knew in his heart that he was not convinced by Ryan. After all, the two of them were about the same age, so he would definitely compare subconsciously.
Compared to Ryan, who became the lord at a young age, Andy's identity seemed a bit embarrassing, and he was naturally unhappy.
That's why he retorted after hearing Locke praise Ryan.
Locke didn't say anything more when he saw this, but asked Art to continue explaining why he wanted to cooperate with Firefly Town.
"Yes, as Master Andy said, there was nothing outstanding about Yinghuo Town before, but since the new lord inherited the territory, some interesting things have happened."
"According to the intelligence, Yinghuo Town quickly completed the reconstruction of the territory, and also used the power of Warcraft to complete spring plowing ahead of schedule. A few days ago, it successfully resisted the beast tide in Tieshi Mountain."
"Various circumstances show that Yinghuo Town's strength has been significantly improved compared to before. The Chamber of Commerce is ready to re-evaluate the potential of Yinghuo Town and carry out in-depth cooperation with it."
Andy was still a little confused after listening to Art's explanation.
"What does the improvement of Yinghuo Town's strength have to do with us? We are just businessmen and only focus on the sale of goods. No matter how they improve their strength, there are still no products worthy of our cooperation?"
Locke glanced at Andy in surprise. It seemed that this guy was not as stupid as he thought.
"Yinghuo Town does not have any special products. The reason why we want to cooperate with them is because Yinghuo Town itself is the best product."
Locke replied meaningfully, and he didn't explain too much. Andy would probably not understand it anyway, so he was too lazy to waste his words.
"Now it seems that Yinghuo Town is indeed developing well. There are so many Warcraft envoys, and even the militia has subdued the Warcraft. No wonder it can successfully resist the beast tide."
He looked at the militiamen in front and said.
"But didn't Baron Bach say that Firefly Town was able to repel the beast tide with the help of Poseidon Temple? Since they all defected to Poseidon Temple, why should we discuss cooperation with them?" Andy wondered.
"Oh, he is just a baron. Naturally, he does not have detailed information. The Poseidon Temple is going to settle here, and he is also a candidate for a saint. But long before the beast tide came, the candidate for the saint returned to the sea with the guardian knights. The temple."
"In other words, the ability to withstand the beast tide this time depends on the strength of Yinghuo Town itself. What's more, Lord Ryan should not be a short-sighted person. It is impossible to give up the protection of the noble circle and seek refuge in something for the sake of temporary benefits. Poseidon."
"Even if he really lost his mind and took refuge in Poseidon Temple, it would be easier. We can also provide the benefits that Poseidon Temple can provide. There is no reason for him not to cooperate with us."
Locke said with confidence that the Poseidon Temple is stronger than them, but if it comes to money, Guanhai City has never been afraid of anyone except the royal family that has been passed down for a long time.
While several people were talking, the militiamen had already brought them to the castle, and White had been waiting outside the castle for a long time.
After the two parties met, they introduced themselves to each other.
When White heard that Locke was a director of the Businessmen's Alliance, a trace of imperceptible doubt flashed in his eyes.
He took everyone to the reception room, and then went to the study to inform Ryan.
"Oh? The leader is the director of the Merchant Alliance? This is a big deal."
Since receiving Aisha and others last time, Ryan has collected information from all parties. Among them, the Merchant Alliance in Guanhai City is the closest to Firefly Town and has had more contact with them before, so it has the most detailed information.
The Merchant Alliance is a force jointly established by the major chambers of commerce in Guanhai City. Its original purpose was to resist the oppression of merchants by the nobles and obtain more benefits for the merchants.
However, as more and more chambers of commerce joined, the merchant alliance's power continued to expand. They used money to attack and soon seized a large amount of power, even ousting the lords of Guanhai City.
Even the bishop of Poseidon Temple was corrupted by them. After realizing the importance of the alliance, the merchants specially made a hierarchy in order to make the merchant alliance more formal.
The lowest level is the apprentice in each chamber of commerce, and the higher level is the clerk who can participate in selling goods, and above the clerk are the shopkeepers and merchants.
The shopkeeper is responsible for the shops inside Guanhai City, and the merchant is mainly responsible for running businesses outside.
Shopkeepers and merchant superiors are supervisors. Supervisors with great power can take charge of several shops and business channels, and are at the upper-middle level in the merchant alliance.
Locke's director position is the superior of the director. The director not only has management rights over the director, but can also express opinions on various affairs of the alliance.
Before the alliance makes a decision, it will hold a vote. Each of the directors has one vote, which shows their great power. Their status in the alliance is second only to the vice president and president.
In the past, the Merchant Alliance would send at most one merchant to Yinghuo Town to buy and sell goods. This time, a director came directly. It seemed that the plan was quite big.
"Last time, a candidate for a saint came to the Poseidon Temple. This time, the Merchant Alliance sent a director. It's interesting. When did our Yinghuo Town become so attractive? Or do they want to treat us as soft persimmons?"
"Forget it, it's useless to think about it now, let's go see them first. The soldiers will stop us and the water will cover us. I want to see what kind of medicine they sell in their gourds!"
Ryan got up and walked to the reception room.
When they arrived at the reception room, Ryan met Locke and others.
"You must be Baron Lane. I have heard of your name a long time ago. Now it seems that you are indeed a talented person. You can manage the territory so prosperously at such a young age. It is really formidable."
Locke was very polite and kept praising Ryan.
"Director Locke is so ridiculous. Compared to Guanhai City, Yinghuo Town is nothing."
As soon as Ryan finished saying this, he heard a sneer from the side.
"Can any cat or dog now be compared with Guanhai City?"
Andy had a sarcastic smile on his face.
"What did you say?"
After hearing this, White was about to step forward and take down Andy, but was stopped by Ryan.
He glanced at Andy, turned to Locke and asked:
"Who is this?"
"Oh, this is the son of our vice president. He can't speak. Please don't get along with him."
Locke now felt very regretful about bringing Andy in. He should have left him outside the city with the guards.
"It turns out he's just the vice president's son. Listening to his tone, I thought it was the Viscount from Guanhai City who was visiting."
Lane emphasized the pronunciation of the word "son."
"What are you."
"Shut up! If you say one more word, get out of here!"
Andy was about to refute Ryan when he was interrupted by Locke's roar.
Being scolded by Locke in front of so many people, Andy looked very embarrassed.
But in the end he didn't say much, but quietly stepped aside.
Interesting~
Ryan glanced at Andy again. He originally thought that the other person was the kind of brainless second generation in the novels of his previous life, but he didn't expect that he could endure this tone.
It seems that this young man has a reason to stay.
"I'm sorry, he was spoiled by our vice-president, and his words were a little out of his mind."
Locke apologized with shame on his face.
"It doesn't matter, I can understand. I used to be like him. It will be fine when I become more mature."
"Really? I didn't expect Master Ryan to be rebellious at times. I really can't tell."
After the two were polite to each other for a while, Locke finally couldn't hold himself back and said:
"I don't know if Mr. Ryan has heard of it. Our merchant alliance has just changed its name. It is now called the Business Mutual Aid Association, or the Business Mutual Association for short."
"Oh? I really haven't heard of it. Did something happen?"
"No, the original personnel structure of the alliance has not changed. However, the previous Business Alliance only allowed merchants to join, and the current Chamber of Commerce allows lords to join. I wonder if Baron Ryan is interested in joining the Chamber of Commerce, and How about our cooperation?”
oh? Business mutual aid association?
Ryan frowned slightly. It seemed that this business meeting was the purpose of their visit to Yinghuo Town!
This chapter is close to 5,000 words. I plan to combine the remaining 5,000 words into a big chapter. It will be finished after twelve o'clock. Everyone has to go to work and have classes tomorrow, so you can go to bed early and get up to read tomorrow. I will be there on time. Posted tomorrow morning at six o'clock. In addition, in order to prevent anyone from trying to bully me, let me explain that the idioms and sayings in the article are for everyone’s convenience. They speak the language of the Pokémon world. I just helped them translate and polish it a little bit, and that’s it~
