Arcane Lord

"Sir, there is news from the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce that Consultant Seid is going to visit the Tower of Time to discuss the new communication device."

"Well, I see."

Xia Duo responded casually and was about to leave. As for the Tower of Time when Seid came, it was completely within his expectations, and even if Jenna came over in person, he would not have many surprises.

It's just that how could Cecily miss such a good opportunity? She quickly stopped Xia Duo and said sternly: "Sir, you have already taken half of the reserve materials in the material department these days, and now you have opened a new communication device. With the production line, plus the next major maintenance, I am afraid that the material department will go bankrupt before the material replenishment of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce in the next quarter!"

"Niya knows about this matter. You can ask her about the specific situation. Don't worry about the resources. I will go to Severnton in a few days, so that the next major maintenance will not be delayed."

After speaking, Xia Duo flashed. In fact, the materials he took from the materials store have not yet started to be used. On the one hand, he is waiting for the main body of the floating city on the blue crystal plane to be completely stable.

After Xia Duo left, Cecily's face changed for a while, she glanced at the workshop where the production line of the new communication artifact was located, and left silently.

…

the next day.

Said, the chief advisor of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce, appeared on the teleportation circle on the public floor of the Tower of Time. When he walked out of the teleportation room, Xado was already waiting outside.

"Lord Shado, I should be visiting you, how can you come to meet me!"

"Consultant Seid, my old friend, with our friendship, do we still need to pay attention to these hypocritical courtesy?" Xia Duo pretended to be angry.

In fact, in his current status, he really does not need to meet Seid in person, even if the other party is a senior arcanist, but the problem is that the Tower of Time does not currently have someone matching the other party's strength to receive the other party.

If he didn't stare at him personally, how many secrets might Seid see!

As an ally, Shado must not set too many restrictions on Seid in the Tower of Time. The other party is a guest, not a prisoner. Accompanying him in person can ensure that the other party's "eyes" will not see anything that should not be seen.

Of course, Seid may not have the heart to spy, but Xado has to guard against it.

In Xia Duo's view, it is not a problem at all to "give in" like now. In his hometown, even the supreme leader will have a side that is close to the people.

Not to mention, being close to the people will not undermine his authority in the slightest.

Because Shado knows where his authority comes from, not just power, but also the principles of an entire order.

If there is only power, others will only fear, and then want to destroy, and if they have the principle of order at the same time, they will have authority within the same camp.

As long as he is not a person who can easily be influenced by others and influence decision-making, even if he is now naked and standing in front of Said, it will not damage his authority at all.

At most, it is a matter of personal morality, but with the blessing of authority, this issue may develop into a new fashion!

The essence of power is that I can decide you, but you cannot decide me; and majesty is essentially the belief of others that power can be realized.

Seeing through this, Xia Duo can naturally do whatever he wants. The so-called "doing what you want without breaking the rules" is probably like this.

…

The reception room.

Xia Duo and Said sat down as the guest of honor, and after a brief reminiscence of the past, they soon began a formal meeting.

"Lord Xado, our president is looking forward to the new cooperation between the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce and the Tower of Time. Before coming, she specifically explained that I must work hard to facilitate this cooperation."

"Well, I'm looking forward to it too."

Xia Duo doesn't really think that if Jenna has expectations, he can ask for the price at will. Cooperation is both sides. If only one side wins twice, it will soon drive away allies.

"The last time I saw President Jenna, she mentioned that the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce is developing the Akola market. I don't know how it is going now."

If someone other than Shado asked this question, even if the other party was a great arcanist, Said would not answer it easily, but the person who asked this question was Shado, and Said blurted out without hesitation:

"Thanks to Lord Xado's introduction, the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce has far surpassed other chambers of commerce in terms of trust in the first step. At present, the chamber of commerce has reached cooperation agreements with several chambers of commerce in Akola."

After finishing speaking, Seid seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly said: "If we reach a cooperation agreement with the Tower of Time on the new communication artifact this time, we can sell the new communication artifact to the elf kingdom."

"Oh?"

Mentioning the new communication tool, Shado became interested and asked Seid, "Is there a market for human magic items in the elf country?"

"Of course there is, too much!"

In the face of Shado, Seid did not hide, "The social class of the elf country is seriously divided, and their native magic items, ordinary elves can't afford to buy. But human magic items, even if they add a lot of premiums, are still in their consumption. Within his ability, otherwise, in the years of interacting with the elven kingdoms, if there is no income, Netheril would have been hollowed out long ago."

In the trade between Netheril and the Elf Kingdom, the main thing is to exchange common resources for technology and high-level resources, which is not a profit or a loss.

As for other personal consumer goods, elves undoubtedly occupy the highest end. Whether it is handicrafts, magic items, or even drinks, they can slash countless knives on Netheril.

These are all things that ordinary Nex businessmen can see and feel, and in places they can't see, chambers of commerce with backgrounds have already made a lot of money.

Magic item export is one of them.

After listening to Said's explanation, Shado was thoughtful. He did know Said better about the elf society, but he didn't know much about the commercial exchanges between the elf society and humans.

After all, he went to the projection plane, and the time line is much earlier than the main plane. There is no human power in the north, so what about commercial exchanges?

The only arcane empire, if there is no war, may be a good trade target, but it is a pity that both sides have been killed from the beginning.

On the main plane, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Saville led the trade with the elves in the city of Connefera in the east. There was only one olive oil, and the others were gone.

In general books and materials, the secrets of the operation of the Chamber of Commerce are rarely mentioned, let alone the secrets of making big money in the elf country.

In fact, if Seid hadn't mentioned it, Shado would have always thought that there was no market for human magic items on the elves' side!

His original plan was to negotiate with the elves to expand the lock after building the communication lock, but now, it may be possible to sell the communication magic in advance.

After thinking about it, Xia Duo asked again: "It shouldn't be easy to sell human magic items directly, right?"

"of course."

Since the export of magic items has been mentioned, Seid naturally doesn't mind saying a few more words:

"Even ordinary elves may not be able to accept the aesthetics of human beings, not to mention that many magical items of human beings are not aesthetically pleasing at all, as long as they can be used.

"Therefore, the appearance needs to be modified according to the local cultural atmosphere. It can be said that those elf craftsmen are the core competitiveness of this business."
