After a private meeting with Dane at Sandy Bay Harbor a week or two ago, Bickley had been impressed by Dane's vision of the future.
He found that as long as what Dane said was true, then the vision described by Dane that "the Shire United Chamber of Commerce monopolizes the commercial territory of Shawan Port and can obtain a large amount of stable and urgently needed goods" is true. achievable.
At present, all the difficulties Dane encounters in Shahaiwan Port are entirely due to the lack of support from the General Affairs Office headed by the three major chambers of commerce and the entire commercial guild, so that Verina can walk in the work of the port. stumble.
But as long as the Shire United Chamber of Commerce clearly stands on Dane's side, then this status quo will be broken in an instant.
With the financial strength of the Shire United Chamber of Commerce, if they fully cooperate with all the policies implemented by Dane in Shahai Bay Port, they can completely independently support the current development situation of Bay Port. The Shire United Chamber of Commerce can completely make up for all the trade lost under the influence of the Glittering Gold Chamber of Commerce and the Sequoia Chamber of Commerce.
The reason why they don't make up now is because the three chambers of commerce want to work together to force Dane to submit. But if they really become partners, then these lost trade volume can be made up in the first time.
Of course, this will cause dissatisfaction with the two major chambers of commerce, Gold Glitter and Sequoia, but at this time, Dane's powerful military power can come in handy—other places may not be able to control it. In the south of Schindler, who Don't try to compete with him by means other than business.
As for places other than Wangang... Anyway, the competition and cooperation among chambers of commerce of their size is far from limited to a place like Shawangang. The Shire Chamber of Commerce may not be afraid of those two chambers of commerce, even if the two chambers of commerce combined are useless.
You must know that although the three chambers of commerce have almost the same power in Schindler, in the entire world of Orodik, the United Chamber of Commerce, which is backed by the entire Shire continent, does not know whether it is background or hard power. It's a few streets away from the other two.
Products from the Shire continent are not only sold to Schindler, the Southern Cross Sea to the west can only be regarded as a regional market, and the Golden Bay in the center of the human world is similar to the Shire United Chamber of Commerce. This is the main battlefield of a super big chamber of commerce, and a character like the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce does not even have the qualifications to go to the Golden Bay to intervene, and the Sequoia Chamber of Commerce can only rely on its geographical advantage to take a sip of the soup.
Bickley had already calculated in his mind that if he really cooperated with Dane, it would obviously be a choice to maximize the benefits for the Shire United Chamber of Commerce.
But he was not without doubts.
There is no need to doubt that Dane has a large amount of mineral resources. The miraculous event that the two abandoned mine veins in White Wolf Castle were re-developed into new mines has already been reported a few months ago. There was a lot of buzz. An iron ore mine and a sulfur mine together produced more than 100,000 gold coins a year. This is not a small amount, especially for the Shire United Chamber of Commerce, which is eager to purchase mineral resources to the point of madness.
Black crystal veins are a more important resource. Black crystal, a magical mineral, is much more valuable than iron ore and sulfur.
If Bickley takes over the monopoly power of these three mine veins, his resume in this year's work report of the Shire United Chamber of Commerce will be much better.
However, although there is no need to worry too much about the mineral veins, the production of magic props that Dane mentioned made him a little doubtful.
He knew that Dane had a large blacksmith shop in White Wolf Castle, but he had never heard that Dane had the ability to make enchanted weapons and alchemy potions.
No matter how extravagant Dane said, Bickley also decided that seeing is believing.
That's why he made a trip to Comilla Island himself.
The results left him with mixed feelings.
Under the guidance of Dane, he visited the two magic workshops.
The dwarf businessman can be regarded as well-informed. In his opinion, the two magic workshops of Dane are quite formal, with a clear division of labor in each department. The entire manufacturing industry is standardized and full of efficiency, and its technical capabilities are quite passable.
However, what made him dissatisfied was that the scale of these two magic workshops was a bit small.
The alchemy workshop is not bad. Although the official demand for alchemy medicines in the Shire Continent is not small, after all, overall, the Shire Continent is much smaller than the main continent of Orodik, and may not be as large as the Eastern Wasteland. It can be described as a peaceful and pure land, and no large-scale war has broken out for hundreds of years. Alchemy medicine is not particularly urgently needed.
High-end weapons such as enchantable weapons are different. This is something that the Shire continent has always relied on for survival. Races such as halflings and gnomes, although they have shrewd heads, are born with short stature and weak physical strength, which makes them full of a sense of crisis. Their obstinacy in the development of armaments has penetrated into the marrow of their bones.
In fact, it is precisely because of this that they have been able to control the lush land of Shire in their own hands for hundreds of years, without being given over by pirates like wolves and some other naval countries. annexed.
However, compared with the developed planting industry, consumer goods, and raw material processing industry, their own industries in the magic industry still have a relatively large gap, and they are not able to meet the needs of their entire continent. But it is very difficult to import these things from the outside.
But if the scale of the enchanting factory under Dane was larger, Bickley would have made a decision directly and made a decision to fully support Dane's policy in Shawan Harbor.
When accompanying Bickley to visit the enchanting workshop, Dane also saw the meaning of the worry on his face.
He sighed in his heart, he had foreseen this situation beforehand. But what can be done? He also wished that his enchanting workshop would develop into the largest factory in Orodik in the blink of an eye, but that was unrealistic. He could only try to see if he could convince the dwarf with his own mouth.
Fortunately, he was still prepared.
"Mr. Bickley, please follow me." Dane made a gesture of invitation, and then personally led the dwarf to a small warehouse behind the enchanting workshop.
Pushing open the door of the warehouse, I saw ten swords shining with cold light, and twenty sets of metal armor with a soft magic halo flowing, neatly placed together.
