As the saying goes, there is no diplomacy among ministers.Under normal circumstances, the earl has no right to contact foreign powers.But Matthew's status is different. He is an elector and can be regarded as a junior half-emperor.
He has limited diplomatic powers as long as they do not harm the interests of the empire.But he cannot establish diplomatic relations with foreign countries and can only communicate in a private name.
The people who came to visit Matthew in the past few days were not considered to be the top people in the mainland, they could only be considered to be second- or third-rate forces.
The major forces are still waiting and watching.
Although Matthew's territory became a place of miracles, it did not mean that Matthew was destined to enjoy the results.
The story of Matthew's falling out with the Holy See had long spread across the continent.
Those who want to get close to Matthew have to consider the consequences.If Matthew completely breaks with the Holy See, it will definitely be a dead end. How should they deal with it?
Of course they were very happy to eat meat and drink soup with Matthew.Following Matthew to fight against the super giant Holy Holy See, that would be a shame.
People are always so real.
In this regard, Matthew's attitude is very simple, first come, first served, early investment brings high returns.
If you don't come to help me in times of need, who will you give me as the icing on the cake?
Now is the most difficult time for him. If you approach him at this time, no matter if you are an opportunist or not, treat them all kindly.
He understands the principle of buying bones with a thousand pieces of gold.
Everyone who comes these days has been properly received.
But all they could get was Matthew's promise.
There is not much that Matthew can offer now. Apart from verbal promises such as the pie painted in the sky, all he can give is rights of passage and business rights.
Because Matthew's territory is not large, these powers are of little practical significance, and most people who come into contact choose to wait and see.
The attitude of these men did not surprise Matthew.
If it were him, he wouldn't believe a blank check.If you want me to hang out with you, get some actual benefits first.
After receiving several groups of guests, Matthew also felt a little bored.When Surante offered him another arrangement, he simply refused.
"I'm very tired today. If you have anything to do, let's talk about it tomorrow."
"Master, you must meet this guest no matter what."
"why?"
"Because I can't see through his strength at all." Surante's tone was calm, but his mood was not calm.
Matthew perked up.
Surant is only one thin film away from breaking through to a high level, and it can be broken with just one poke.
She can't see through the strength of people, they must be high-level.
High-level level is a very general term. Combat levels LV7-LV9 can be called high-level levels.
No matter which level you are at, you will have the right to speak if you reach a high level.
A valuable guest indeed.
Matthew refreshed himself, adjusted his makeup a little, and came downstairs accompanied by Surante.He decided to receive his guests in the main drawing room.
As soon as he arrived in the hall, Matthew saw the back of the guest.
With just one glance, Matthew could clearly see the opponent's strength. He was actually a level nine expert.
Although Matthew is confident that he can win, he cannot guarantee that he will be killed or captured.He is a real strong man.
If it were a level [-] or [-] powerhouse, Matthew would also imagine the possibility of the other party defecting to him.
But he would not expect a ninth-level powerhouse to condescend to join him.Level nine experts will not surrender easily unless they can see the hope of reaching the super position.
There are many factors that need to be considered to reach the top, and it does not mean that success will be achieved only when one is strong enough.95% of strong people will fall in this last step.
As long as they can provide hope of reaching the Super League, they can attract the goodwill of LV9 level experts, and even recruiting them is not impossible.This world is so realistic.
Are you here to conclude a soul contract?
Matthew looked up and was slightly disappointed. He was actually a blue-level weight bearer, and his potential was not as good as the six maids.
It's not that the stronger the strength, the higher the load value.A high weight value only means high-quality leeks.
People who are powerful but have egotistical personalities generally have low load-carrying values.Those who are slightly less strong but good at endurance are no worse than those who carry heavy loads.
No matter what, you must entertain the experts when they come.
Matthew smiled and greeted the guest: "This distinguished guest, I am Matthew. May I ask who you are..."
"Andre Dawson."
The guest turned around and took off his mask, revealing his handsome and young face.
Matthew's eyes lit up, and he became more fond of this sunny, handsome and unruly young man.
"Mr. Andre, I admire you for being able to become a level nine expert at such a young age!"
This is not a compliment to Matthew. The other person seems to be about the same age as himself. To become a level nine strongman at this age is not to say terrifying, but at least he is also talented.
Andre smiled and teased softly: "Count Matthew, you are half a year younger than me, but you stepped into the realm that was only one step away from super position two years ago. Aren't you much better than me? "
Matthew laughed heartily.
Although he can't know what the other person is looking for, Andre's clear eyes make it hard not to feel good about him.
Most people are pretty and can't walk when they see handsome boys and beautiful girls.So does Matthew.
He made a gesture of invitation and invited Andre into the main drawing room.Surante poured tea for the two of them and left obediently.
Matthew and Mr. Andre had a very good conversation, and there was no need for her to be a light bulb here.
After the two sat down respectively, Matthew smiled and said: "Mr. Andre, your strength is quite impressive, but I have never heard of your name before. I wonder if you... "
Andre was not displeased that Matthew directly asked about the origin.
He smiled and said: "Has your lord, Lord, heard of the Dawson Chamber of Commerce?"
"Are you talking about the Dawson Chamber of Commerce, the first of the three major chambers of commerce in mainland China?"
The Dawson Chamber of Commerce is one of the three major chambers of commerce in Gondwana. Matthew's ranking of them at the top is somewhat flattering.But he believed Andre wouldn't mind.
Sure enough, Andre's eyebrows were slightly raised, and he pursed his lips and chuckled: "Master Matthew, you are too polite. We are only one of the three major chambers of commerce. The most recognized chamber of commerce in the industry is the Goblin United Chamber of Commerce."
Matthew said seriously: "You can't say that. The Goblin United Chamber of Commerce is a union of dozens of large and small chambers of commerce. Strictly speaking, it is not a chamber of commerce, but an alliance of chambers of commerce."
"If you also unite with dozens of human chambers of commerce, won't you be able to compete with them?"
"That seems to be the case. Sir Matthew, you are really good at talking."
When Andre smiled, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, looking particularly free and easy.
Even though they were both men, Matthew had to praise the handsome man.
"Because you used your words to force Archbishop Cochon away, many people think you are not very good at speaking. It seems these are all rumors."
Matthew smiled and did not answer the topic.
Sending Archbishop Cochon away happily was not entirely motivated, as there were many entangled interests involved behind it. It can only be said that the water is very deep, and those who understand will naturally understand, but those who do not understand cannot explain.
Seeing Matthew holding the tea cup without saying anything, Andre knew that Matthew was half-expelling the guest.
The so-called semi-chasing of guests means that we hope that guests can quickly talk about the business and stop rambling.If you have nothing to say, it’s time to leave after drinking this bowl of tea.
Andre observed Matthew carefully, full of curiosity about this young master known as the "Lost Heart Demon King".
He studied under the [Hidden Sword Saint] for more than ten years and finally reached the ninth level. He thought he was almost invincible among the same level, but he didn't expect that there was a master like Matthew.
Seeing that Andre neither spoke nor walked away, Matthew was a little puzzled, what on earth is this guy going to do?
The other party was pretending to be stupid, but he couldn't follow suit. He coughed lightly and asked: "Mr. Andre, your and my time are precious. If you have anything, please just say it. As long as I can, I am willing to help sir."
"Is this true?"
Matthew felt a little baffled. Although this guy was pretty good, he didn't seem to be very smart.What Matthew just said was just a polite word. Can this be taken seriously?
Trading requires chips, and if there are common interests, Matthew doesn't mind helping.If it affects Matthew's interests, even if the Lord of Holy Light personally presses Matthew's head into the holy pool, he will never compromise.
I don’t understand this at all. Is this guy really the young master of the Chamber of Commerce?
千;,;?寻!,.小,;??说!资.源.!?群'2,5!.5:5'.:.9:;5,:!3!0.:0 安德烈略微有些失望的说到:“马修大人,我当然知道交易规则,但我原本以为我们之间能有超越利益的友谊,可惜啊。”
Very good words.
If Matthew disagrees, wouldn't he become a villain who only cares about interests and not feelings?
This hat is on...
Mr. Ma likes it very much.
"Andre, you are right. I am a realistic guy. When trading, I only care about interests. But there are exceptions to everything. I am also willing to be sincere to my friends and loyal subordinates."
"We just met. If I told you my true feelings, I'm afraid you wouldn't believe me."
"Don't you believe that you'll feel like old friends at first sight?" Andre asked, still unwilling to give up.
Matthew looked at Andre's amber eyes and said solemnly: "I want to believe it, but I am not qualified to be willful."
"I know you are an extraordinary guy. If I were alone, I wouldn't frown even if I went to slay a dragon with you."
"But I'm not alone."
"Then what race are you?" Andre's eyes were filled with curiosity.
Matthew coughed lightly. When someone said this, he was looking for trouble, but when he said it from Andre, it was just a joke.
Andre reminded him of the innocent little brother he once shared a dormitory with.
He smiled and said: "I mean, I am not alone. I am a lord. I am responsible for the territory, the deployment of my subordinates, and the future of my family."
"Aren't you single?"
Andre looked at Matthew in surprise and asked softly: "But I didn't hear that you have a wife or fiancée?"
Matthew: "..."
He now somewhat suspected that this guy was here to cause trouble.But looking at Andre's clear eyes, it didn't seem to be the case.
Forget it, let's just treat it as a joke between good brothers in the dormitory.
Seeing Matthew's speechless look, Andre happily slapped the table and laughed.
Matthew wanted to ask him why he was laughing, but laughter was contagious. He only tensed up for a second before Andre made him laugh.
Sometimes, a guy with a low laugh point can really make the whole dormitory laugh like a fool.
The unprovoked laughter narrowed the distance between the two parties, and also made Matthew's anxiety these days disappear.
The laughter stopped and he whispered: "Thank you."
Andre did not ask Matthew what he thanked him for, but said softly: "Master Matthew, the main purpose of my visit this time is to negotiate a business deal with you on behalf of my father."
"Oh? What does President Dawson want to talk about?"
Finally, when it came time to talk about business, Matthew calmed down and his expression became serious.
Andre didn't speak, but took out a handwritten letter from his lapel and handed it to Matthew.
Andre kept this letter close to his body, and it also carried the warmth of his body.
Matthew felt something strange as he touched the envelope.
If this letter has the aftertaste of a girl's body temperature, it would feel a bit charming.But with the body temperature of a boy, it feels a bit strange.
Fortunately he is straight.
Luckily Andre also seems to have some integrity.
Mr. Dawson's letter was written very modestly. It was not like the tone of the president of the Chamber of Commerce across the continent discussing business with an ordinary earl, but rather like a business partner who had known each other for many years.
As expected of the leader of a top chamber of commerce, he won Matthew's favor in just a few words.
After a simple greeting, the Dawson Chamber of Commerce made an offer.
Provide Matthew with 100 million mira or supplies of equivalent value every year.
As the cooperation between the two parties deepens, this price can be increased and is a floating term.
What they asked for was the right of passage, business rights and tax exemption for some goods in Matthew's territory.
This is a sincere price.
