From scratch, it took ten years to build a port city that is more prosperous than Shawan Port. This sentence was said by Tommy after drinking.
At that time, what he said was impassioned, as if he had full confidence. But after he sobered up, he regretted it.
This statement has a strong hint of a drunk gaffe. Although the development speed of Ghost Knife Port is very fast, if it can really continue to develop according to this momentum, it is not that there is no chance of achieving the goal at all. But the development of the city will not always be smooth sailing. It is true that it is a period of rapid development, but if it encounters bottlenecks or difficulties, it is also possible that the development speed will slow down or simply stagnate.
It is indeed a bit big to say that it has surpassed Shawan Port in ten years.
The point is that it doesn't matter if you talk about it in private, but it's not appropriate for him to say the question in front of the great lord Dane.
The words that are spoken are the water that is poured out. If Ghost Knife Port has been able to maintain a rapid development momentum, that's fine. If it really hits a stagnation period, how can I deal with Dane? Will he be kicked out by then
Tommy worried about it.
Dane didn't know his worries, and if he had, he would have dismissed them.
In Tommy's view, the so-called 'catch up with Shawan Port in ten years', which is suspected of bragging, is simply too slow for Dane.
Although Shawan Port has now fallen into his hands, it has no systematic blessing after all, unlike White Wolf Fort and Comilla Island. These two places where the Li system base is established are the two most core territories in his heart!
And there is a system of power to bless it. If Ghost Knife Port is backed by Orienado, it will take ten years to catch up with Shawan Port, so what's the point
Of course, it is an objective fact that the current development momentum of Ghost Knife Port is insufficient. But it doesn't matter, after the alchemy studio and the enchanting workshop are completed, two engines will be directly added to Comilla, the big ship designed by Dane.
Dane absolutely believed this.
…
It will take three days for the two magic-related workshops to be upgraded. Dane didn't stay in Cormyr all the time during this period, and he also returned to White Wolf Castle in the middle.
Nothing else was important, but Goodell came to visit Dane once in the middle.
Dane didn't plan to meet the halfling businessman at first. Previously, the commercial guild of Shawan Port sent this guy who had a relationship with him as a lobbyist. After the news of the tax increase came out, the person who arrogantly invited him to meet at the General Affairs Office was also Goodell.
It was precisely because of this that he thought that Goodell's visit this time was also assigned by the General Affairs Office.
He refused the meeting with Goodell, and wondered, could Hei Jing's business be changed to a partner
However, later, when Goodell persistently came to see him several times, and even brought valuable gifts, Dane felt that he might have misunderstood.
"This guy's brain doesn't look as stupid as those businessmen in Shawan Port."
While figuring this out, he asked his subordinates to bring Goodell to his living room at the top of White Wolf Castle.
Sitting on a big comfortable chair, Dane was wearing casual home clothes, holding a glass of high-end Cormyria wine in his hand. Now, after such a long period of time, the Cormyrne wine that has been handed down from Aurelia has completely opened up its market. The popular wine has brought a lot of money to Oriani. Ulrika is already preparing to expand the size of the winery with the support of Faro.
Dane had heard about this matter and read the report. However, he no longer personally intervenes in such matters. As the territory grows larger and the shop spreads wider and wider, he has to deal with and pay attention to more and more things. It is precisely because of this that he is no longer doing many things in the territory himself like before.
Auriana has Falal, Ghost Knife Port has Tommy, White Wolf Fort is in charge, and Chapple is helping, and Velina at Shahaiwan Port is still doing very well. In the daily work of the army, with Patience, an experienced ranger general, there is basically no need for Dane to worry about anything.
If you have talents under your command, use them boldly. If you do everything by yourself, not only will you not be able to use your talents, but you will be exhausted to death, not to mention that the effect of doing things may not be very good.
This truth, the longer Dane sat in a high position, the more he would understand the truth.
As the door of the living room was pushed open, Dane's thoughts also came back. He looked at Goodell who appeared at the door, and he had some guesses about the purpose of this guy's visit this time.
He was waiting for the other party to speak, but he didn't expect Goodell's reaction to be so intense.
I saw that this guy, whose height was less than Dane's waist height, started crying the first time he entered the door.
The little dwarf ran forward quickly, ran to Dane's side, hugged his thigh, and burst into tears:
"Boss Dane! The matter at Shawan Port really has nothing to do with me! It is the commercial guild that is going against you, and I was tricked because of it! You must not be unhappy because of this matter." what!"
Dane couldn't laugh or cry, he shook his leg, trying to shake off the halfling who was hugging his lap, but he didn't move.
Of course, with Dane's strength, let alone throwing off Goodell, if he really kicked down, he would probably be able to kick this halfling who has no personal strength to death.
However, he didn't mean to want Goodell's life.
So, Dai En said with a grimace, "Hurry up and let me go, if you don't let go, Hei Jing will find someone else to do it!"
As soon as Hei Jing was mentioned, Gudel immediately didn't dare to be presumptuous, and stood obediently by the side, not daring to say a word, but he couldn't get rid of that aggrieved face.
Dane knew this guy was faking it.
"Put away that face of yours, it's annoying to look at!" He took a sip from his wine glass, and continued: "Tell me, what gave you your heart and leopard courage, how dare you let me know when you were in Shawan Harbor? To visit you at home?"
Goodell immediately explained, talking about the business guild just letting him meet Dane at the beginning, and talking about the relationship, and then the tax increase turmoil came out, and the thing about pulling him out to top the tank, and by the way, he scolded Those 'SB' at the Dunton Merchant Guild
In the middle, Dane remained noncommittal, just drinking the wine in his glass.
Most of Goodell's previous performances were pretense, in order to show his attitude. But now, seeing that Dane didn't seem to be moved, he was really anxious. (To be continued.)
