Oracle of Terra

"Yes, regarding the resettlement of the infected, I think you, Mr. Charney, should also be interested in this matter itself."

"Indeed, your company...or the young lady of Swire Group, it is impossible to support those infected people unconditionally. Kavaleriaki's infected people are only a part, even if she can buy a piece of land for the infected The inmates build a community, a thriving place, but this is still a temporary solution, not the root cause. In addition to Kavaleriaki, there are many infected people in the Quad Cities United who need help. Rhode Island and the Swire Group in Cassie The scale of Mill, I think it is very difficult to fully develop activities."

Charne's words are precious, this is indeed a headache for Lucifer, although the Supervisory Committee has shown a friendly attitude and given advice on many things, but what they can do is limited, Cassie Mir's greatest strength is still the many companies headed by the Chamber of Commerce. At least in the absence of war, the economy itself still has considerable power in Casimir. Even if the Supervisory Council owns iron cavalry, it is impossible Holding a knife to force the Chamber of Commerce to compromise, let alone for one or two foreign companies.

"Indeed, no matter whether we plan or consider this matter, we can't get a better result, so I need your help, Mr. Charney, or the help of a spokesman for the Chamber of Commerce."

"Mr. Lucifer, although I am optimistic about the business prospects of Rhodes Island and Swire Group, but these days, I don't believe that you haven't seen the competition under the water, and that Miss Shi Huaiya is right. The resistance of the Chamber of Commerce, I think our cooperation will probably not be successful, at least in the eyes of the Chamber of Commerce, Rhodes Island and Swire Group are enemies."

Charney can see the benefits of the alliance, but in the same way, including the Swire Group into a behemoth like the Chamber of Commerce is undoubtedly a stupid act like sending a group of hungry wolves into the sheepfold.

Presumably even those directors should not be so easily fooled.

"It is true that Swire Group and the Chamber of Commerce have many problems, but I believe that the entrepreneurs of the Chamber of Commerce will not miss the opportunity when there are enough safe labor force to enter the factory to work safely. The labor force of this land itself is valuable enough. I believe that as long as a group of safe infected people are treated properly, they don’t mind working for the entrepreneurs of the Chamber of Commerce. After all, this is Casimir and their country. Might take them to Victoria, or Ursus."

"But in Cavaleria itself, labor is not a scarce resource, or does Mr. Lucifer have any more interesting ideas and proposals?"

Charney felt that the young man in front of him looked a little weak, but there was a danger in his bones, which was too dangerous as a trading partner. Although the light in his eyes was not full of ambition, but calculation and strategy, he could In this category of people to play the most incisively and vividly.

He had to think about whether he was stepping into a trap step by step, and something was taken away from the Rhode Island entrepreneur in front of him.

Labor...is indeed rare and precious, and those medicines have been certified by doctors of the Supervisory Committee, which is enough to suppress the onset of ore disease, and even gradually improve the patient's physical condition. Although it cannot be said to be cured, it can guarantee that the patient with ore disease will no longer To deepen the disease, and even regain the life span of a person, even if Charney doesn't know much about medicine, he also understands what kind of uproar this drug will cause in the whole Terra. If the group of directors see Rhodes Island, it will be almost free If the drugs are provided to those 'lowly' infected people, I'm afraid it will be a waste. After all, if these drugs are sold and given to overseas companies and chambers of commerce in other countries, even greater benefits can be obtained.

Of course, Charney also knows what Rhodes Island wants to do. A good reputation and image are more worth investing in than any temporary benefits. At least being able to treat the infected people well and even cure them is enough for many people. With admiration, after all, in the eyes of most people in this land, fighting for the interests and rights of the infected can be said to be an extremely crazy thing.

In other words, in this era of cannibalism, they want to fight for the qualifications of the "infected people" who have been expelled from human status to become human again.

It is tantamount to fighting against the trend of the times itself, against the general trend, just imagining Charney feels a little scalp numb, he can see that the young man who is good at planning is obviously not a fool, nor does he look like a fool A lunatic or a fanatic, he is indeed proposing cooperation in this regard to himself, and he also provides good benefits, but... this is not enough. If you want to convince those greedy directors, you can only Labor is not enough.

"An interesting proposal, new metal processing methods, and some design sketches of cutting-edge weapons and equipment. I think the chairman of the Howling Guard should be interested. If you don't mind, I can only cooperate with this company."

"New metals... Maybe I should get a consultant."

The so-called 'new metal' and better equipment production methods, Charney also saw those craftsmen boasting many times, but not many of them were considered effective, but Lucifer's confident expression made him also I can't help but become interested. If it is really a new type of metal processing method and design drawings of cutting-edge weapons and equipment, then the market value of the Howling Guard will be greatly increased, and the status of the director will also increase in the Chamber of Commerce, or , causing some fear?

"Okay, I can introduce you, Mr. Lucifer, but I wonder if what you want is just the resettlement of those infected?"

"Of course not. I hope that the Howling Guards can hire professional medical consultants and buy medicines from Rhodes Island to distribute to the infected people they hire. What we hope is that more than [-]% of the employees in the factories that produce new metals and equipment must be Infected."

"So that's how it is, to solve the employment problem, I will report on this matter, it's just about new metals and equipment..."

"Miss Gravel."

"Yes."

Zarak, who was standing by behind Lucifer, placed a suitcase on the table in the reception room, and Lucifer also opened the suitcase with a calm expression.

The agent of the Chamber of Commerce had no scruples, but after opening the box, what he saw was a light-looking knight armor, a shield and a long sword.

"This is a mass-produced prototype. It is made of new metal materials produced by the Rhodes Island Engineering Department as the main body. I believe the armor designer of the Howling Guard should be able to see its value."

Rather, even Rhode Island's engineering department thought it was a bit too much armor. When Vulcan and the others participated in the artisan meeting in Sochi, they looked straight at such a piece of armor.

It is even said that this is an epoch-making rare material, although Lucifer, who has seen the process of making this thing, clearly understands that in the eyes of a certain great blacksmith, it is nothing more than a 'toy' level thing.

But it is enough to surpass the equipment of the current Casimir mainstream market for three or four generations.

"I understand. I will ask someone to send this thing over for inspection."

Naturally, Charney didn't intend to deliver it in person. If he got too close to the Howling guards, then his position as the spokesperson of the Chamber of Commerce might be questioned, but this action itself might make him feel cold. After all, making good friends with these foreign companies will not benefit the Chamber of Commerce. If only one company can benefit from it, it can only be seen whether that company can fully absorb all the benefits, or... ...Whistling Guard is one of the main factories that provide weapons and equipment to Casimir, maybe because of this move, they may choose to turn to the Correctional Council.

After all, the chairman there also knows that more than one director has been replaced over the years by the senior management of the Chamber of Commerce.

If this Mr. Lucifer just wants to let a factory feed most of the infected, then Charney also feels that he will stop there.

— bang bang bang

"?"

Charney frowned slightly when he heard the knock on the door.

"Do you have any other guests today?"

"It's a guest who came to talk about cooperation, and he must be someone you are very familiar with, Mr. Charney."

"A character I'm familiar with..."

Before Charney could think about it, Lucifer said, "Please come in", and Li walked over to open the door for the visitors. After a while, a blond Kuranta who looked a bit depressed, wearing a black coat and light armor, and A warrior knight in silver armor walked in together.

"Your Excellency Commander, Your Excellency Lyme."

Li saluted Manna and Lime, and after the two also nodded, they entered the room and sat down one after another. Lucifer and Charney faced each other, and the two sat on the side like this, an invisible pressure It spread from the two fighting knights to Charney.

The spokesperson of the Chamber of Commerce was sweating on his forehead, but he still showed a formulaic smile in a neither humble nor overbearing manner.

"Your Excellency Commander, and Your Excellency the Knight Commander of the Silver Spear Pegasus."

"Hello, lackey of the Chamber of Commerce."

Lime just said this out of shame, which made Lucifer feel a little too straightforward, but it was expected that the people who fought against the Knights and the Chamber of Commerce would not be able to deal with it, but considering the future development, Lucifer Xifa still felt that Lime's wording was a bit too fierce, but fortunately, this Mr. Charney was flexible. If it were another spokesperson, he would probably yell at him at this time, and then be thrown out of the meeting by this silver spear It's the guest room.

"Well, I have to say, the appearance of the two of you surprised me."

"I was surprised too."

Manna recalled what Tolan said, his father, or the person behind his father, wanted them to win over the lackeys of the Chamber of Commerce?

why?

462. Split (two chapters in one)

"Speaking of which, Your Majesty, what are you doing to win over that man named Charney?"

"Of course it is to find a capable person to pave the way for the future. He is good, knows how to endure, has his own ideas, and does not discriminate against the infected. Although he is not a great person, he is always a judge. If a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is in front of him and he doesn't grab it himself, then I'll find someone else."

Telles yawned, as if he hadn't slept well.

"Do you have a record?"

"Uh...Tolan Cash?"

Tolland, who was drilling the ventilation duct at the moment, felt a shudder all over his body.

"I always feel a bad premonition, I hope the journey to find that hot girl Margaret will be smoother."

Thinking of the female knight who used to beat her up violently, Tolan couldn't help shaking her body. Some memories really couldn't be erased from her body.

Then, looking back at the reception room, although Charney, who is flexible and stretchable, said that he didn't have too many thoughts about the word "running dog", after all, the other party scolded him in this way, and keeping a low profile was not an option.

However, the arrival of these two people seemed to be expected by this Mr. Lucifer, so he planned to reduce the pressure a little and throw the topic to this Mr. Lucifer.

"Then, Mr. Lucifer, what kind of cooperation and negotiation are these two here to talk about?"

"......................"

Indeed, even the two people who came here were very curious as to why they wanted to win over a running dog of the Chamber of Commerce, and the one who would give them the answer seemed to be this thin and feminine young man with no visible racial characteristics. Lime knew this People, a doctor from Rhodes Island, Margaret's boss, I heard from the child that this person's command level and strategy are quite high. Maybe Kasimir's current situation will be in his consideration?

"Some new cooperation, what do you two think of Mr. Musk Ned, the CEO of Wind Howl Guard?"

"Musk...huh, a villain who is stalking, why mention him?"

For this Margaret's boss, Lime felt that he would still have a minimum of respect, but the Howling Guard, as a weapon manufacturer that provided military supplies, got involved with the Chamber of Commerce, sponsoring the knight competition itself for profit, and This company, which is related to the Knights Association, the National Chamber, and the Chamber of Commerce, can almost be said to be very popular in Casimir. Although Lime rejects Musk as a villain who is a follower of power, I have to say that this guy is very popular. Knowing how to be a man, he won't offend anyone, but he can make enough money without being outstanding.

"My father said before that Musk's grandfather used to be his good friend. He used to fight alongside him when he was young and defended him. However, after the death of Musk's grandfather, the Linguang family did not get along with him. He's been around too much, Musk's father and Musk, and neither has much interest in my family."

"Naturally, from Mr. Musk's point of view, the decline of the Linguang family seems to be unprofitable. Even if your grandfather has friendship with your father, I am afraid that in his opinion, it is just a matter of the older generation. Aristocrats are not worth wooing, and Mr. Lime's evaluation of following others is also very pertinent."

"Talking about him... are you talking about the cooperation of the Howling Guard?"

Rhyme squinted his eyes and scanned the two of them, but Lucifer was indifferent to the oppressive force from Rhyme. After all, compared with the terrifying aura of the Patriot, Rhyme in front of him was almost no different from a naughty boy.

"Yes, Rhodes Island is willing to provide new metal processing methods and some new equipment designs in exchange for jobs and a stable source of income and life for a large number of Casimir infected people. After all, our ability is limited, although we can To provide cures for the infected, but to take care of their lives, I am afraid that only enterprises can do it, and the Supervisory Committee should not be too eager for general labor."

"indeed so."

Lime didn't hide it, but expressed his opinion naturally. If those knights who were accidentally discharged due to infection are willing to return to the army, he can help. To put it bluntly, it is also a gathering of knights and nobles. The circle is different. Even if the Chamber of Commerce is a collection of rich people, but to put it bluntly, they are also closely related to the lives of ordinary people. In this regard, what the Supervisory Association can do Indeed limited.

"There should be weapons and equipment over there?"

Manna glanced at the suitcase on the side of Charney's seat. Seeing this, Li picks up the suitcase tactfully and puts it in front of Manna.

"This is....."

Lime frowned slightly after seeing the contents of the box, then took out the long sword and shield, walked aside, and tried to use it.

"Good stuff... as a mass-produced standard equipment, it is first-class."

Manna also touched the armor with her hands, and then nodded.

"Indeed, excellent design."

"Are you really going to trade these things for Musk's help?"

Obviously, the commander of the Silver Spear Pegasus understood how much such standard equipment would improve Casimir's military strength, and Lucifer nodded with a smile.

"Naturally, as for how to discuss the mass production and configuration of the equipment, it is a matter for the two of you to discuss with Mr. Musk."

"Tsk, that's what happened."

Lime is not stupid, he probably understands that this man named Lucifer wants them to win Musk over to the Correctional Council to ensure that these equipment will not fall into the hands of the Chamber of Commerce, and the group of businessmen must be more than The equipment will be used to arm the army. The new metal material production method can produce a lot of expensive parts and flow abroad. But if the production method of this batch of metal is cracked by foreign companies, the growth of armaments will be much faster. Then It's not something that the knights who defend the country like to see. After all, merchants are different from knights. Merchants only consider benefits, and knights like them also consider combat power and armaments. Although Casimir is a powerful country in the world, the land It's not that big. Compared with Ursus who is staring at him, Casimir can only be regarded as a small country. Of course, this is also because Ursas has captured a lot of Casimir's territory.

"What are your plans for Rhodes Island?"

Of course, Manna also understands the impact of trying to win over Musk. After all, Musk is one of Casimir’s military suppliers, and he has a good relationship with any party. If it is sidelined, the situation will undergo a huge change again. I am afraid that the Chamber of Commerce will not sit idly by. The involvement of the Wind Howling guards is extraordinary in Casimir.

And this man named Lucifer handed over these things, no doubt wanting to make the supervisor to take action to pull Musk to this side, no matter what means are used.

As for ordering the Chamber of Commerce not to export new metals?That is undoubtedly to let these blood-sucking moths ride on the face of the Prison Council to make conditions, even the old men of the Prison Council would not be so stupid.

As for Sochi, where these metals are produced, Manna believes that those who want to facilitate all this will not easily export new types of metals and weapons to foreign countries.

"There is no special plan, Mr. Manna. The one who has plans is an acquaintance of mine. He wants to tear up the Chamber of Commerce and the current Supervisory Council, and open up a new path in Casimir."

"what?"

Even Lyme looked at Lucifer in front of him with some uneasiness. Is he talking about splitting Casimir's forces?

"Let's talk about something interesting, Monsieur Charney."

At this time, the attention that had been diverted returned to Charney again. The spokesperson of the Chamber of Commerce raised his eyebrows at this moment, looking at the white-haired man in front of him who was posing with a business-like smile. youth.

"Are you interested in taking charge of the Wuyu League?"

"................................."

Charney didn't answer, but this question caused a storm in his heart, and even Li, who was Lucifer's guard, couldn't help but look at the doctor one more time. He had a swearing expression, as if he was innocent. Meng has already become his subordinate, calm and composed.

"Are you kidding me?"

"No, there is no joke. In a few days, the owner of the League of No Harnesses will change, and his new master will want someone who can take charge of the League of No Harnesses for him in Casimir to open up this new path. He chose you, Monsieur Charney."

After hearing Telles's decision last night, Lucifer thought at first whether he was a little crazy, but when he thought about it carefully, he found more and more that if he could subdue the Unshakable League as he said, Kaka Simir's situation will change dramatically because of his action, but again, the premise is to really subdue the Wuxi League. As for the matter of convincing Charney, he only talked to himself last night, as if he had already Knowing that today he is going to meet with Charney of the Chamber of Commerce, it is the same as knowing that he himself does not know that the person who will come will be this spokesperson.

Lyme on the side was a little hesitant to speak, and he looked at Manna. After all, this kind of conversation would start here, which made him a little unexpected, but he could also understand why the person behind his teacher asked They sit here, win over Musk, and then cooperate with Charney, who will be in charge of the Wuxia League in the future, to make a big change in Casimir, but the beginning of all this, the change of ownership of the Wuxu League, will really be so easy ?Will the Chamber of Commerce's own capital really sit idly by?

But if all of this can be reasonably successful, Lime can't imagine what will happen to Casimir in the future.

And the things that I originally thought about about my comrades in arms have become a lot less important.

Are major national affairs decided in this small reception room?

Now, though, the pressure is on Charney.

He is an ambitious man, he thought about getting ahead in the Chamber of Commerce, and finally with his own strength, and then changing some of the status quo that he wanted to change, but that would not exceed his expectations, or the current situation, it can almost be said It is the Wuyu League representing the armed forces of the Chamber of Commerce itself. This foreign company, this Mr. Lucifer, actually said that he would hand it over to himself?

This is too far-fetched, but it is unbelievable that because it is so absurd, Charney somewhat believes what he said.

Can.....

"Of course, such an opportunity is in front of me, and I will be moved, but Mr. Lucifer, I can't just believe some jokes, there must be some basis. I mean, I think it is necessary for me to , talk to the person behind you?"

"No need, Mr. Charney, a few days later, the Blood Knight will face off against the rookie knight belonging to the Red Pine Knights that the Commercial Federation wants to suppress. After that match, everything will change. You just need to be quiet. At that time, just wait until the people from the Wuzhou League come to find you. Then you will naturally meet my acquaintance. Believe me, although he often disappoints and complains about some small things, but in big things In fact, he will not be sloppy, so regarding the factory and trading, I hope that you can pay more attention to it. Although it is necessary to split the structure between the Chamber of Commerce, the Supervisory Association, and the Wumen League, it will be very important for Cassie in the future. It is a good thing for Mill, and the effect will be seen after a while."

Lucifer stood up like this, nodded slightly to these people, then turned and left, while Li, who was his bodyguard, looked at Lime and Manna hesitantly.

"Li, don't spread this matter to outsiders."

Manna looked at the Zarak war knight with a serious expression. After the latter nodded, he was quite helpless.

"Such a thing, if you tell it out, I'm afraid it will be regarded as an idiot's dream."

After finishing speaking, she left the reception room in this way. After following Lucifer, what was left behind was Charney, who was in a complicated mood, and the two big men who were staring at him.
