Chapter 157

"..." After hearing Orson's question, Dorothy was silent for a while, and then said: "Orson, you should know that I am not a human being."

"Yeah." Orson nodded.

"After all, your appearance has not changed in ten years, and you have also traveled in the Elf Forest. Miss Dorothy, your race obviously cannot be human."

"You should know that a long time ago, humans united with other races to repel the invasion from demons, and one of them was the dragon race. I am a member of the dragon race." After Dorothy finished speaking, there was a trace of nostalgia in her expression.

"According to the records of our dragon clan, Paradis, the leader of the demon army that invaded the mainland, did not leave any descendants. As for the other questions you asked, I can't tell you what will happen if demons and other races give birth to children. Let me tell you, because there is no precedent for this.”

When Orson heard Dorothy's words, although he was prepared in his heart, he still felt disappointed.

Chapter 54: Do me another favor

Orson was not in a happy mood after bidding farewell to Dorothy.

At the end, Dorothy and Orson said:

"Paradis has left many scars on the continent. Some ancient races or civilizations have kept records about demons, but these are all regarded as taboos. If you want to peep into the mysteries, you must Become a person worthy of that race’s trust.”

"As the most typical gregarious and long-lived species, elves have undoubtedly the most complete records of demons. If you have elf friends, Orson, you can ask them to take you to the Elf Forest to read the books in detail. After all, it’s been a while, and it’s hard for me to remember many details.”

To put it bluntly, it is obviously impossible to solve one's own problems by relying on other people's hearsay.

Then, on the way back, Orson met several well-dressed people.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Orson?"

"Well, it's me." Orson nodded, and then asked: "What do you want from me?"

"Our boss wants to see you." The leader said, pointing to a carriage behind him.

"He said he wanted to discuss the matter with you about Miss Chelinina."

"I understand." After hearing this, Orson got into the carriage.

Arriving at the destination, Orson stepped out of the carriage and was not surprised when he saw the familiar sign of the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce in front of him.

From the moment the other party mentioned Chelinina, he already knew that the person who invited him to meet was Louis.

Led by a waiter, Orson came to Louis' office.

An old man with gray hair and beard was guarding the door of the office. When he saw Orson coming, he bowed politely to show respect.

Then he opened the door for Orson.

Entering the door, Louis appeared in front of Orson.

Compared to the banquet a few months ago, Louis is much more haggard now, and even his hair is half white.

But when he saw Orson coming in, Louis still forced a smile and greeted Orson with a smile.

"Oh, Mr. Osun, long time no see, long time no see."

"Well, President Louis, long time no see." After hearing this, Orson nodded, and then sat on the sofa next to him.

"Excuse me, President Louis, why did you come to me this time?"

"Oh, of course, first of all, I want to apologize for my rude behavior at that party a few months ago." Louis said

There was a hint of embarrassment in his tone.

After all, he had ridiculed Orson's family for their lack of qualifications, but now that he was asking for help, he had to swallow all his words.

"Ah, that's it." Orson smiled after hearing this. "It's okay, President Louis. I don't take it to heart. Rather, it's thanks to President Louis for reminding me. Otherwise, I really would have thought how powerful my family is."

Orson's words were obviously choking Louis, but Louis could only bear it so much.

"Oh, no, no, you nobles are born with noble blood." He said this and quickly poured a cup of tea for Orson himself.

"To be honest, I came to Mr. Osen this time because I want to ask you something." After putting down the teacup, he spoke slowly.

They all use the word "ask", which shows their sincerity.

"You tell me."

"I think it's okay to hire you with a high salary and make you a consultant to the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce, and at the same time stop helping the Lissen Chamber of Commerce?"

"Okay." Orson heard this and nodded.

This surprised Louis a little.

He originally thought that Orson would have to hold on for a while until he proposed a higher price, but he didn't expect that Orson would agree directly.

It's a pity, Chelinina, you finally misjudged the wrong person. This Orson is just a person who is greedy for profit.

Louis sneered secretly.

He knew that Chelinina was able to achieve what she did today, mostly because Orson was advising her from behind.

As long as the relationship between Orson and Chelinina is destroyed and Orson is not allowed to continue to help Chelinina, the development of Lissen Chamber of Commerce will naturally stagnate.

Moreover, if Orson can help Chelinina grow so quickly, he will definitely help the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce grow.

"Then, Mr. Orson, please make a price." Louis said with a smile.

Orson held out an index finger.

"One? Mr. Osun, do you want one million gold coins?"

Orson shook his head.

"Then, could it be 10 million?"

Orson still shook his head.

Louis frowned when he saw Orson's appearance.

He had thought that Orson would open his mouth, but the asking price was a bit too outrageous, right?

Ten million gold coins, the current Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce does not have that much liquidity, and judging from Orson's reaction, he wants much more than that.

"Mr. Orson, just tell me directly." Louis said this and stopped guessing.

"I want a Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce." Orson said slowly.

"Mr. Orson, are you kidding?" Louis' tone became serious.

"The Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce hires you as a consultant, but your request is for the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce? How can you say that an employee treats all the employer's assets as his own salary?"

"I know not, so, President Louis, do you agree?"

"Mr. Orson, do you think I will agree?" Louis asked, with a hint of anger in his tone. "I come with sincerity. If you really want a lot of money, when the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce dominates the entire continent in the future, there will be a lot of money for you, but your attitude makes it difficult for me to follow. You discuss it."

"But, this is my ideal price." Orson shrugged helplessly. "After all, the fact that the Lissen Chamber of Commerce was able to develop from a branch of the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce with the worst performance to one that brought so much trouble to the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce in just a few months is not due to me alone. ah."

"Isn't the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce suffering from the current business war? Lissen Chamber of Commerce has such a big advantage, why should I give up the great prospects and jump to the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce?" Orson smiled.

"But, Master Aosen, you have to know that even if the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce has suffered such huge losses now, the assets under its jurisdiction are still more than three times that of the Lissen Chamber of Commerce. If the starting point is higher, you will reach the end point faster. I believe that Aosen Chamber of Commerce will Mr. Mori, you can understand what I mean."

"Of course I understand." Orson nodded. "However, since President Louis is willing to hand over the inheritance to two incompetent sons rather than to the only capable daughter, I feel that you are not suitable to sit on the seat of the first merchant of the empire. ”

"So, you just don't want to?" Louis suppressed his voice and finally asked.

"Yeah." Orson said this without any regrets on his face.

"If nothing happens, I'll go back first."

Orson said this and stood up from the sofa.

"Wait." Lu

Yi quickly stopped Orson.

"Master Osun, I ask you to do me one last favor, in my own name, is that okay?"

(PS: I didn’t update yesterday due to personal reasons. I’m very sorry. I will update it tomorrow)

Chapter 55: Some are happy and some are sad (6K)

"If you want to see your daughter, please forgive me for not being able to help. After all, you have done a terrible job as a father." Orson paused for a moment, then spoke.

"Really? Do you also think I'm not a good father?" Louis lowered his head in disappointment after hearing this.

"In that case, please forgive me for being rude and not sending it to Your Excellency."

"It doesn't matter." Orson shook his head and walked out of the room.

Louis sat in his seat, thinking about what Orson had just said, and sighed helplessly.

At this time, deputy Paul also walked in. He looked at the disappointed Louis and asked: "President, is it still not settled?"

"Yeah." Louis nodded. "It's still too difficult to convince Mr. Osun to give up helping Chelinina. The most important thing is that Mr. Osun himself doesn't like our Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce."

"Paul, do you think I did something wrong? As a father, I didn't give my three children a fair chance to compete. Did I do something wrong?"

"...President, regarding your family affairs, I don't want to make any further comments. After all, I am just a staff member of the Chamber of Commerce and have no right to judge your family affairs."

"But, if you insist on asking me to say it, maybe President, when you choose your heir, you should really give Miss Chelinina a little more chance, so as not to push her to the point where she is completely opposed to you. "

"However, I can also understand you, President. After all, you and Miss Chelinina are in different positions and have different perspectives on problems. You want to develop the chamber of commerce more steadily, while Miss Chelinina does not want to be Man arranged his fate and thus rebelled against you."

"I can only say that time is fate." After saying this, Paul stood aside respectfully.

"Alas." Louis also sighed.

The business war with Lissen Chamber of Commerce has been going on for some time.

The Lissen Chamber of Commerce, which controls the production side, has completely strangled the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce on certain products. The Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce relies on business relationships to control most of the commercial resources in the market and raises prices on some key commodities to suppress Lissen. Lissen Chamber of Commerce, but overall, Lissen Chamber of Commerce is more profitable.

Other chambers of commerce in the market, such as the Ali Chamber of Commerce, which had previously competed with the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce, have become victims of the business war between the two major chambers of commerce.

Unlike the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce, the Ali Chamber of Commerce does not control the resources of a large number of commodity suppliers and sellers, nor does it control the production of many key commodities like the Lissen Chamber of Commerce. Its own development still follows the path of the old chamber of commerce. In the end, the sharp rise in commodity prices Under the fluctuations, losses were heavy.

In the past few months, the Ali Chamber of Commerce has almost declined to the point where it is about to be acquired by the Lissen Chamber of Commerce.

In fact, the Lison Chamber of Commerce is also preparing to acquire the Ali Chamber of Commerce, and the two sides should be able to reach an agreement in the next two days.

In this way, the gap between the Lison Chamber of Commerce and the Yinyue Chamber of Commerce will be further narrowed.

Faced with the challenge of the Lison Chamber of Commerce, the Yinyue Chamber of Commerce can only follow suit and start its own production, but due to problems such as immature technology, lack of experience, and management loopholes, even with the same production chain, the competitiveness of the Yinyue Chamber of Commerce's products is not as good as that of the Lison Chamber of Commerce.

As a result, if the Lison Chamber of Commerce wants to make more money and increase the price of goods, then the Yinyue Chamber of Commerce can make less money.

And if the Lison Chamber of Commerce lowers the price of goods, the goods produced by the Yinyue Chamber of Commerce will lose money, which will be even more unprofitable.

But there is no way, if not, the market share will be taken away by the Lison Chamber of Commerce.

Just when the two were still worrying about the business war, Mark suddenly walked in.

"Father, Uncle Paul, you must help me!" He shouted, with a panic expression on his face.

Seeing his reaction, Louis knew that something was going to happen.

"What happened?" Louis asked directly.

"In Prussia, the Lison Chamber of Commerce opened a new branch in Prussia, and then cut off my textile supply in Prussia. Now all textiles are monopolized by the Lison Chamber of Commerce."

"Then, then my second brother told me that we should concentrate our assets, buy all the textiles from the Lison Chamber of Commerce at a high price, and then stock up on them."

When Mark said this, Louis had already guessed what happened next.

They misjudged the production capacity of the Lison Chamber of Commerce, and purchased a large amount of textiles from the Lison Chamber of Commerce under a pseudonym or

through someone else, causing the Lison Chamber of Commerce in Prussia to be out of stock, but the local people did not actually buy the goods, so the demand for the goods was still there, so they continued to raise the price to make a profit as a scalper.

This naive method can sometimes play a certain role, but it must be based on the fact that the other party does have insufficient production capacity.

But in fact, the Lison Chamber of Commerce controls more than 80% of the textile production in the entire empire. How could there be a shortage of production capacity?

Therefore, the final result is that Mark hoards more and more, and finally all the goods rot in his hands.

At this time, the Lison Chamber of Commerce predicted that Mark's hoarded goods had reached the upper limit, and directly pulled a large number of goods from other regions and sold them at a low price.

Anyway, when Mark and his team bought a large amount at a high price before, they had already made a lot of money for the Lison Chamber of Commerce. This wave of price cuts can be said to have benefited the people who really need to consume textiles.

Mark no longer has the funds to hoard goods. On the contrary, the low price of goods has led to a tight capital chain for the Chamber of Commerce, which can't operate, and can only be sold at a lower price.

It just so happens that Mark, under the instigation of Lawrence, has always believed that the Lison Chamber of Commerce will always have insufficient production capacity, so in the end he even gritted his teeth and sold many of the Chamber of Commerce's fixed assets in exchange for cash.

After this incident, the assets of the Prussian branch of the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce shrank by half in an instant.

The presidents of many local chambers of commerce also expressed their dissatisfaction. If Mark could not resolve their dissatisfaction, they would join the Lison Chamber of Commerce.
