The Violet Chamber of Commerce, in fact, has nothing to do with the Violet family of the Federation, the Wertbach family, it is one of the four major chambers of commerce under the Aschut family, and its main business is shopping mall retail, urban transportation and real estate. To put it bluntly, that is, the private property of Her Majesty the World's First Princess, ah no, the World's First Empress.

In fact, Karin's great-grandfather, Joshya, split his wealth into two pieces, half of which was given as a dowry to his daughter Estelle of Light, which later passed into Karin's hands, and the other half to his son Luxia. But we all know that Estelle and later Karin both have an empire to manage, and it is impossible to focus on business, so the Aschut family estate, including the Violet Chamber of Commerce, has actually been managed by the Luxus line.

Luxis became the patriarch of the Ashut family, wielding vast assets and becoming the biggest supporter of his sister and granddaughter. In fact, if it weren't for the Aschut family's large amount of funds provided to Karin with the Violet Chamber of Commerce as the waistcoat, she would not have been able to establish the Ziyuan Orphanage, which claimed to be an orphanage but was actually a military academy, and would not have been able to pull out a young guard army with explosive combat effectiveness.

The current principal of the Violet Chamber of Commerce is Lucis's eldest grandson, Art? Sanskrit? Sir Asut - Yes, we all know that Neosphia is still technically Auckland's territory, so it makes sense that the merchants here should have the title of Auckland. Of course, even the top businessmen and chaebol leaders can only get some low-ranking knighthoods that cannot be hereditary in the central court of Auckland; However, the Ashut family was originally an imperial aristocracy with a long family. And they are relatives, their current parent, Luxia Sr., now holds a very noble title of marquis. There is also a large number of jazz among the younger generations. Based on this alone, the Ashut family has indeed had enough of the Neosfia chaebol.

Alter? Sanskrit? Sir Asher is just 30 years old. is a young man with extraordinary demeanor and extraordinary bearing, and he has the aura of a domineering president Wen male protagonist. In terms of seniority, he is Karin's cousin, so according to the courtesy, Lu Xi should also call the other party cousin.

However, this cousin is very knowledgeable and interesting, and the first time he saw Lu Xi, he showed an affectionate smile, and his face was full of cheerful smiles. It was a close hug when he stepped forward, as if he had really seen a relative he hadn't seen for many years: "It's been a long time, Master Berencaster!" Even in the land of Neosfia, I can hear about your mythical achievements all the time. Seeing my friend himself be a part of the epic really made me feel the same honor as a small trader! ”

It's been a long time! Friends! When have we met? Lu Xi looked at the other party, although he wanted to say this, but considering that he was Karin's cousin after all, it was really not good to lose face so much.

"When we first met at the Eternal Palace, at the birthday banquet of His Majesty the Sun King. I knew that sooner or later you would have the power to change the world. But I really didn't expect that in such a short period of a few years, you would have made the world look sideways. Sure enough, the ceiling of genius. It's not something that we mortals can see! ”

The feast of Yongchen Palace? Well, I remember that at that time, there were still a lot of idle people who were regarded by Lu Xi as tomatoes and potatoes. I guess this cousin children's shoes is one of them, right? But the problem is that you can say that you know Uncle Ben. But why does Uncle Ben have to know you? How do labor and management know Taizu, do other people know me? Plainly. This guy just calculated accurately, I think for the sake of "relatives", he will give you a little face, and he won't be punctured. Besides, this is actually for the people who came to the door with you, right?

The standard transporter will be all-Neosfia. and even the world's largest maritime giant. Of course, it is not so much an enterprise as a real joint organization with a modern Chamber of Commerce. Its members include dozens of large and small shipping companies, as well as countless more private boat owners. To put it bluntly, as long as you own a ship, whether it is a cargo ship, a passenger ship or even a cruise ship, you can register to join this organization, and you only need to pay a certain amount of membership fees every year to enjoy the treatment of the Chamber of Commerce.

In fact, it is difficult for passengers with freight and travel needs to find reliable ships in a short period of time by themselves in the dock, and at this time, if they turn to the service points of the standard transport chamber, the chamber of commerce can quickly find the most suitable vessel and crew in the information of the ships under its franchise. The Chamber of Commerce will take a certain share of the transportation costs, while cargo owners and ship owners can save a lot of time and labor costs, and they are naturally very happy. As a result, with this seemingly simple business model of intermediary, the standard transport chamber of commerce has expanded rapidly, and after a hundred years, it has now controlled almost every link in Chenhai shipping, and is definitely the maker of industry rules, the giant of giants.

Of course, a behemoth like this can't be a monopoly. This monopoly, which claims to be a chamber of commerce, now has a top decision-making organization similar to the board of directors, but it has a particularly non-offensive name such as the "executive committee" to the outside world, but its members are all heads of major chaebols. Of course, Luxis, the patriarch of the Ashut family, is currently one of them.

What is the saying? If you control the sea, you control Neosfia; If you control Neosfia, you control the seas. To put it bluntly, this group of members of the Executive Committee of the Standard Transport Chamber of Commerce is the real ruler of the capital of the seven seas, and the so-called autonomous government is just a rubber stamp that is placed in front of the stage to sell cuteness or carry the pot.

"Well, this kind of power organization structure is really too loving, full of the immediate sense of my Great Lighthouse Country?" Lu Xi said that although this setting is very immediate, it does make his sense of intimacy spontaneous.

Of course, it was definitely not the big man of the executive committee who came to meet Lu Xi with Alter, but the head of the Standard Transport Chamber of Commerce in the shipbuilding industry, a man named Reading? Kilton's middle-aged gentleman. Of course. Although he wears a very modest coat and gown, his temperament gives people the impression of being more like an engineer or a scholar with a full stomach. It's not the kind of gold medal salesman who makes people feel refreshed when they laugh. In fact, Mr. Kilton was one of the most famous shipbuilders in all of Neosfia. Although he has not been on the slipway for a long time, he is also the master of all the shipwrights and shipyards under the command of the Governing Chamber - to be precise, although these affiliated shipyards are independent business units, but without the certificate of conformity of the Standard Transporter Association, no one dares to buy the boats they build. Now you understand why it is said that "first-class companies are the reason for selling standards", right?

And this Mr. Kilton is in charge of whether or not to issue a certificate of conformity to a new ship.

In a capitalist society, although this kind of person is not the kind of "ruler" who stands at the top, he is also an excellent talent that the "rulers" are very happy to woo.

"I've heard of your name before. I heard that the recent Andrea-class high-speed battleship of the Neosfia Navy was designed by you. I have to say it sincerely, I think. It was the finest battleship of the Age of Sail. Whether it's cost for money, combat effectiveness, speed or even appearance. Lu Xi smiled and shook hands with the other party. For this kind of talent with real skills, Lu Xi, who is proud to the core, will never be stingy with friendliness.

"Yes, by the standards of the sail era." He took Lu Xi's hand and smiled like an intellectual but vaguely proud.

As a man destined to go down in the history of ships, Mr. Kilton is certainly full of pride and pride in his most satisfying work, just like the parents who have watched their children grow up and become successful in their careers, so good that they are envied and hated by everyone that they are "a model for other people's children". In his opinion. Even those tens of thousands of tons of nine-masted battleship ancestors Shenzhou of the high elves are all scum, to put it bluntly, isn't it just a big man? Isn't it your incompetence to be a descendant of you to pretend to be an irreproducible antique heritage that has survived from the age of the gods?

However, he then showed a complicated wry smile: "But." When I saw the ship you were moored in the harbor, I suddenly felt that times had changed. ”

Lu Xi did not receive the Qiyao Aurora into the sky in his palm. Instead, it stopped in a special cargo port rented by the Norda elves - even this kind of guide ship that was ahead of its time needed to be waxed, polished, and repaired after a long voyage, and by the way, the seaweed and starfish at the bottom of the ship were shoveled. Because it is a private cargo port. Of course, ordinary citizens can't see the elegance of this epoch-making ship, but they can't hide it from the executives of standard transportation. Thereupon. Mr. Kilton, who is also an excellent ship designer, noticed something different the first time he got the original painting of the ship.

"I've seen the Federation's floatboats, too. To be honest, apart from the addition of a Tisru core with an occult concept, there are no highlights worth mentioning. Mr. Kilton said to Lu Xi in a frank tone: "But my intuition tells me that your ship must be an epoch-making work, a work worthy of the admiration of every ship designer." Mr. Berencaster, perhaps this is inextricably linked to what you're about to do. A ship without sails...... Hey, even the floating battleship and the ancestral Shenzhou can't do without this thing in the sea, but your ship has done it. Do you have a new source of power? ”

"It's you, Mr. Kilton." Lu Xi replied with a smile, he was not prepared to hide this. When the guide furnace guide lamp is really on the market and sold all over the world, even ordinary people can guess it.

"However, with all due respect, both the Norda Development Group and the Future Technology Chamber are newcomers to Neosfia, and it will take time to quickly unfold the situation. Instead of this, why not think differently and have a strong cooperation? The shipping industry is the core of business, and the controller of this core is our standard shipping chamber of commerce. I believe, Master, that you should have a very wise judgment. ”

He's really a very frank guy. Such a person may give people a rough and direct feeling when talking about business, but with his scholarly temperament, it makes people feel a sincere sincerity, coupled with a capable temperament that goes straight to the point and does not waste any time. Very comfortable.

"Don't worry, Mr. Kilton......" Lu Xi smiled and shook his head: "I believe." You'll get what you want, but it's just a little different from what you expected at the beginning. ”

Didn't wait for the other party to speak. Lu Xi turned his gaze to the others again.

The person from the Narwhal Chamber of Commerce is their chief steward, and in Lu Xi's hometown, he should be called a person like CEO, named Bowyer? The people of Airul are the younger brother of the current head of the Narwhal Chamber of Commerce, "Grey the Sky Swallowing Whale". His body is very burly, with thick hair on his face, and his height should be close to two meters, perhaps with some northernal blood. If you ignore those shrewd little eyes and his amiable sales smile, his first image is not a merchant but a mercenary, but because of this smile. He was like a giant bear in stature and oppression, but he suddenly had a Santa-like affinity.

Speaking of which, Lu Xi has a bit of a friendship with the narwhal's Aroul family, at least the friendship is definitely much deeper than that of the familiar "cousin" of Art. Their patriarch Gray? Irul has a name named Theas? Elul's daughter, who is said to be a student at Red Mountain University and has also participated in archaeological hiking activities, is inexplicably involved in the dungeon raids of Lucy and Karin's Titan Dungeon, and finally gets her life back. In a sense, they can be regarded as comrades-in-arms, right? Of course. It is estimated that only Lu Xi knows that the eldest lady is actually a member of the Faceless Association.

Having said that, the daughter of such a chaebol joined the thieves' association, in the end, because the girl's rebellious period has arrived. Or is it because of something else, just thinking about it makes me feel very interesting.

Of course, the Narwhal Chamber of Commerce also relied on sea trade, but now its main business is retail and real estate. Of course. While the world is still in the Middle Ages of royal power, this small island city already has a very developed commodity economy. As a result, there are large-scale integrated stores in the city. I have to say that this civilization tree is completely distorted in the world setting. always makes Lu Xi feel a little dramatic.

"So, Mr. Aroul, are you also here to seek cooperation?" Lu Xi asked with a smile: "You don't even know too much what our future science and technology chamber of commerce is doing, are you sure that there can really be a market?" ”

"No matter what kind of product, as long as you can get Orucello? The unanimous optimism of Master Belencaster and Grand Elder Tifario will never be an ordinary product. "Bowyer, like a stuffy bear? Airul smiled like Santa Claus: "I am here this time to sincerely invite the products of Future Technology to be included in the exhibition rack of our Chamber of Commerce. You'll get the best position in the store and the best publicity. I think Ms. Milana must have felt the same way. ”

"The neighborhood retail we do is different from your big shopping malls. However, even the smallest droplets of water can merge into the ocean. "Mirana, the representative of the Moult Chamber of Commerce? Ms. Moult smiled. This is a kind eye, dignified and elegant lady, about fifty years old, who is now the head of the Moult family, Eduardo? Sir Moort's Wife. Of course, Sir Eduardo was a well-known young man of letters and an old second, who did not have much interest in business, but had a fanatical love for poetry and an above-average talent, and was also the director of the Moort School of Art, which his family had financed. As for the power of the family and the Chamber of Commerce, it is actually in the hands of Lady Mirana.

"If I told you that this New Century Building, which is under construction, has its first, second, and two basement floors, I would be going to turn it into a megastore...... Mr. Irul, Ms. Mirana, would you still like to work with me? ”

Boyd? Arul's face twitched slightly, but he quickly adjusted. He smiled calmly and cheerfully: "Master, your mall has been established, can it cover the entire Neosfia?" ”

"It's impossible to expand it tenfold." Lu Xi smiled.

"Then of course we can work together. We're merchants, not kings and knights, so we don't need to wipe out our opponents completely, do we? In this world, rivals can become friends, and enemies of life and death can work together. Here, there is a win-win situation of developing together and growing together. "Mr. Airul is rightfully authentic.

"Yes! The stupidest businessman will share the cake, and the smart man will only make the cake bigger! Of course, the market is still a little smaller compared to the millions of people in Neosfia, but in order to expand our planned future to the world, we really need to borrow the power of everyone. Lu Xi said to Lady Mirana, "Especially you, honorable lady. The narwhal chamber's mega store dominates Neosfia, but outside of the capital of the seven seas, it relies on the vast retail network of the Moult Chamber of Commerce. ”

"Business is business, it's not you who depend on me, it's we who rely on you to get rich, young man." Madame Mirana covered her mouth and smiled gracefully and reservedly: "Personally, I would also be happy to work with such a handsome young man as you. ”

"Then ......" Lu Xi turned his head and looked at Mr. Stanley, the representative of the Neosfia Credit Bank, one of the three major banks of Neosfia, "Your Excellency is here to collect debts from Miss Wind?" ”

"The master is so witty." Mr. Stanley, who was dressed in a black dress, showed a slightly exaggerated smile, as if he was really moved by Lu Xi's joke: "Yagomi? Master Hayat is our bank's customer with the highest credit rating, where can I use the dunning? The contemptible person was an uninvited guest this time, but he was cheeky to come to you to promote business. ”

"Oh?" Lu Xi looked at the speechless wind silently, and deliberately lengthened his voice.

"Yes, a loan business of 100 million bakers." He explained earnestly, and there was even a hint of flattery in his smile: "You only need to symbolically take out about 30% of the shares as collateral." You're destined to soar in the capital of the seven seas, and it's destined to go down in history. Why don't you let the contemptible people represent the contemptible bank and participate in entering such a great historical moment? (To be continued.) )
