In terms of the division of benefits for regaining Cinderella, it is impossible for Dane to let those Shire people get the priority of selection as they wish, and it is impossible to give them too much share ratio.
This is something you don't have to think about.
How much wealth is the entire city of Cinderella? Even if you make the most conservative estimate, I'm afraid it won't be less than a million gold coins.
The wealth of the Glittering Gold Chamber of Commerce, the wealth of Governor Conley, and the wealth of 100,000 citizens, if they add up to one million gold coins, Dane will definitely not believe it.
It can even be said that one million gold coins is just the most conservative estimate. If you are lucky, two million or three million are possible!
According to what Bickley said, if you give them the priority to choose and give them a high share ratio, in exchange for an investment of 300,000 gold coins, you will lose a lot.
Not to mention, there are still the exclusive rights of raw materials and the development rights of minerals. Just kidding, if this kind of strategic material is opened to external forces, how much money can they get from Schindler a year? Why didn't Dane earn the money himself? He also has his own chamber of commerce in his hands - the Comilla chamber of commerce!
It has been almost a year since the establishment of the Comilla Chamber of Commerce. At present, the person in charge of this Chamber of Commerce is Hull the Halfling. This can be regarded as the first halfling captain to follow Dane, and now he has transformed into a Chamber of Commerce.
Relying on the convenience provided by Comilla Island, the fast-growing Ghost Knife Port, and Shawan Port, the Comilla Chamber of Commerce is also developing very fast. Although it is not comparable to a behemoth like the Shire United Chamber of Commerce, at least it has now developed into a medium-sized chamber of commerce with two fleets, and, relying on the black crystal veins in Comilla and several castles in White Wolf Castle The franchise of the mine lode, the Comilla Chamber of Commerce is still developing rapidly.
With his own chamber of commerce, Dane was crazy to give the Shire people the franchise rights of raw materials and the right to develop mineral veins. He also thought about developing and growing his own chamber of commerce by relying on the geographical advantages of Schindler's characteristic raw material production place and ore vein production place!
If you have money, you don't make it yourself, but give them to the Shire people? Dane doesn't want to be a philanthropist either!
"You want to buy these things with 300,000 gold coins. It's too wishful thinking." Dane shook his head and said, "You don't call it investment, it's called plunder."
"This..." Bickley wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said, "Your Excellency, you can't say that. You can't just look at what we got, you have to look at what we paid! Three hundred thousand gold coins are not one What's more, we are very sincere about developing Schindler, and we are even willing to send an army to help you fight! An elite army of 5,000 people, what do you think?"
"Hehe." Dane said with a sneer, "You guys can't be satisfied with commercial presence, and you still want to infiltrate military power into Schindler? Tell me, when will you send another governor to replace me?"
"Misunderstood, misunderstood..." Bickley's forehead was dripping with sweat. Dane's aggressive posture made him feel a lot of pressure.
"There is no misunderstanding." Dane said decisively, "If you borrow money, I will remember the friendship of the Shire United Chamber of Commerce; if you don't borrow money, the Shire people chose to stand by when we Schindler was in trouble. I will also remember. As for investment, yes, Schindler is a poor place, and friends from afar are welcome to come here with money to do business, but please don't think we are fools who want to use the name of business If you want to do plundering, then I can only give you four words: 'wishful thinking'!"
Bickley knew that coming here this time might mean offending Dane a bit.
He himself knew that the so-called 'investment plan' he proposed at the beginning did have some meaning of taking advantage of the fire.
In fact, at the very beginning, when he received Verina's application for borrowing money or a loan, he felt that it should be possible to lend Dane more than 100,000 to 200,000 gold coins. After all, after winning the war, Dane is obviously an investment target with great potential, and there is nothing wrong with losing some money to make money in the future.
However, when he fed back this application to the upper echelons of the chamber of commerce, things changed. He received the meaning of the upper level of the Chamber of Commerce: it is not recommended to lend a large amount of money and resources to Dane, and it is suggested that Schindler take this opportunity to strive for more benefits during the weak period after the war.
The words given by the upper echelon of the chamber of commerce are the word 'suggestion', but in fact this is equivalent to an order.
After receiving such an order, Bickley felt a little distressed in his heart.
He has dealt with Dane before, and he knows that Dane is not so easy to fall into the trap, nor is it so easy to be carried away by the amount of 300,000 gold coins. Moreover, with Dane's tough character and attitude, he definitely won't get much favor from him.
Sure enough.
"Your territory cannot be without the presence of merchants, right? The Shire United Chamber of Commerce is also the leading large chamber of commerce in the entire Orodic world. Our strong alliance is the best way to make the treasures buried in the land of Schindler become bigger and bigger. way to real wealth."
Bickley is still trying his best to persuade Dane, but he himself has no hope.
"Impossible." Sure enough, Dane finally chose to shake his head and refuse. He continued: "You Shire people are not good friends, and your attitude on this matter is too disappointing to me. Let's not talk about investment, and even, I think, I have to think carefully about what we have now. Cooperation, is there any need to continue?"
This sentence is a real threat.
Bickley said as if his butt was on fire, "Don't, don't... Governor Dane, to be honest, this investment idea was formulated by some people at the top of the chamber of commerce who didn't know Schindler's situation. I'm an idiot, and I have no choice but to accept the order to talk to you about this. It doesn't matter if we can't agree on this cooperation, but our previous cooperation must not be affected!"
At this time, Bickley was really in a hurry.
It really doesn't matter if we can't agree on this investment cooperation. The Shire United Chamber of Commerce is such a behemoth, and the factions inside are also very complicated. Investment is a suggestion and task issued by the above, but the resources and the cooperation of the magic workshop discussed before are my serious achievements!
If those were cancelled, Bickley's struggle for almost a year would be no different from being in vain.
Dane looked over with a pair of indifferent eyes, as if asking: What else do you have to say
The cold sweat on Bickley's head was never dry, his head turned rapidly, and soon he came up with a new idea that could restore his image in Dane's heart.
