Chapter 39: lie down
The response from the president was so quick, sudden, and unprepared. Halfway through typing the code, when he was concentrating on it, the screen suddenly turned into an old face that filled the whole screen, Lin was so frightened that he almost jumped out of his mouth.
"Your Excellency Tripwood." The president's wrinkled old face tried to squeeze out a kind smile. Someone who had recovered himself did not dare to neglect, so he quickly got up and gave a salute. "Master President."
"Regarding the news you sent a few days ago, I want to know the complete situation."
"Yes." Immediately, Lin gave a general account of the situation when the team of inspectors from the Cardiz branch came to the Tower of the Great Sage. The most important thing is to focus on the opponent's characteristics and known intelligence.
But apart from the appearance, the special equipment, and a name—Kos, Lin didn't get anything valuable. The laser web was so sharp that it shredded everything, leaving only a few rings to escape, but it was not a good thing.
Regarding the question, Chengguo? Eaton asked carefully. But most of them didn't get answers, because Lin himself couldn't figure out the situation. But that name, Koos, still reminds the old man of what happened recently. Said to Lin:
"As for the reason why the inspector went to you across the district, I probably have a little idea. It starts with a dispute that happened a while ago."
"All ears."
The old man started to talk about that since the mall system was officially launched, the magician ecology in the entire Xijia District has changed so much that it is unimaginable. Bustling business speeds up the pace of life. The merchants who belong to the association are non-stop all day long, contacting their peers everywhere, dispatching goods, robbing the horse convoy and guards, just to send out the collected goods as soon as possible.
All of this happened only in Wulian City. Instead of these people running wildly in the entire Xijia District, they only need to go to the forum and the mall system to handle everything.
In addition to trading with the owners of magic towers in various places, a group of magicians from different teams in the same place will also order goods collectively. . During the process, the team in charge of delivery will also disclose their scheduled arrival date on the forum, so that orderers will not have to wait and can pick up the goods at the scheduled time.
Lin couldn't help complaining in his heart that he had finished the group buying so quickly.
In addition, due to the convenience of the shopping mall system, the bulk goods transactions of nobles are also on this platform. In other words, the chamber of commerce affiliated to the association, from its original front-line status, was on par with chambers of commerce related to the royal families and nobles of various kingdoms, and turned into a predator that almost unified Xijia District.
When this big crocodile seized most of the trading activities in an area, the internal personnel who were not satisfied with the status quo naturally chose to expand outward. The opportunity is the magic tower located on the border of the division, and it is also a tower belonging to other divisions.
As mentioned before, the Association of Magicians is only based on interests, and the group integrated together does not have too strong a binding force. The distribution right of the ownerless magic tower belongs to a certain branch, which is a fact recognized by everyone and difficult to overthrow or change.
However, when the Magic Tower has an owner, which branch the tower owner has a better friendship with, who he is willing to trade with, and which kingdom and nobles he is friendly with are all the tower owner's own affairs, and no one else has the right to comment.
For the magic tower located in the border area, they are naturally willing to trade with the party that can provide more convenient services.
In the past, the more diligent the stewards of the chamber of commerce to which the branch belonged, the more they could gain the trust and trading needs of these tower owners. It has nothing to do with the distribution rights of this tower, which division it belongs to.
But when the mall goes online, tower owners who use the forum can easily get in touch. The convenience it possesses makes it easier for these tower owners to become customers of the mall. The stewards who discovered this business opportunity are of course those who vigorously develop the customers in the border areas; there are even crazy stewards who drive the caravans into the core areas of other districts.
Such behavior naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of people from other district chambers of commerce who originally regarded the area as their territory, and filed a complaint with the Xijia District Branch. It’s just that this kind of thing follows the previous example, and usually the district will reply: If your chamber of commerce does not work hard, the official statement will be over. The rest is that the people below show their abilities.
But now, the advantage of the mall is that people in other districts can't catch up no matter how hard they try. So some insidious tricks and small tricks that are not popular have been launched. For these injustices, Xijia District fought back unceremoniously.
"That is to say, our people have crossed the line in order to make money."
"Hehe, yes. That's right, you've crossed the line."
Looking at the president's smiling face, whose eyes were almost invisible, Lin felt very innocent. As a system developer, but to help the business take the blame, this kind of **** seems to happen no matter which world.
Orange fruit? Eaton seemed to have nothing to do with it, and continued: "Koos, it should be the surname of the family of the Chamber of Commerce in charge of the border area in the Cardiz District Branch. It's just that they sent a team of inspectors today, which has a different meaning Yes. I will ask the president of the Cardiz branch to find out what they mean. Those who study knowledge should not be disturbed by other miscellaneous affairs. So, Lord Master, please wait patiently for my news, I I'll give you an explanation."
"Yes, thank you very much for your care and support, Mr. Chairman."
"By the way, by the way, did the inspector team leave, or..."
Since the owner of the tower to which he belonged was able to come forward to sue, of course he was not taken away. Then the inspectors who came to arrest people should have been beaten away. After all, there was only one team, five people. It is not so easy to attack a prepared magic tower.
Orange fruit? What Eaton wanted to ask was actually how many people were injured and how many people left. Although the number of casualties will not affect the outcome of the negotiations, it is better to know the current situation than to know nothing.
Just looking at Gabrash Tripwood's timid, hesitating behavior, it seems that the result is beyond his expectations.
"Actually, Mr. President, I don't think any of them can go back."
Shock. Because according to Tripwood's description, the inspector team is very likely to be the leading death team under the Kadiz branch. There are three great magicians in it. And to be a member of this team, the strength is not to mention.
Chengguo Eaton was a little surprised that the member of the Koos family was able to join this team. Now this prestigious team has been cleaned up by a rookie tower owner until there is no one left. What does this mean.
Seeing the face of the president of his family changed, Lin Zhen was a little uneasy, and asked urgently: "Master President, will this make them form a coalition army to trouble me?"
"Alliance?" Chengguo Eaton was also recalled by this word, stopped his wild thoughts, and said calmly: "Don't worry, that kind of thing won't happen, because they don't have enough honor, There will be no magician willing to follow. That team of inspectors will trouble you, probably because one of the members is a family member who had a dispute with our chamber of commerce before, and that’s why he behaved like this.──”
As if to comfort people, Chengguo Eaton said at the same time: "──What's more, the coalition attacking the tower has always been the first request of the branch in this district. If no branch forms a coalition to attack the magic tower, it is not a matter of the magic tower under its jurisdiction. If they really If you do that, Xijia District will also become your backup and compete with them. So don’t worry.”
Is this the rhythm to turn into a world war? Lin was even more worried.
But Chengguo? Eaton gave another reason why he would not initiate a big war. "Besides, you have the strength to kill a team of inspectors in one go. Anyone who wants to attack the tower will evaluate how much it will cost to succeed. Not to mention that no one has attacked you from the very beginning. Righteousness. Under such circumstances, there is no one who would be willing to join the attack on the Tower of the Great Sage. As for the force possessed by a chamber of commerce family, the magician probably killed by you It is the strongest. The remaining people cannot be the opponent of a tower master."
So, can you rest easy? Lin didn't feel like letting go of the heart hanging in his throat. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
Chengguo Eaton finally said: "I think you can achieve such a record because of your transformation of the tower of the great sage. With the original facilities of that tower, such a thing can't be done."
"Yes, I improved..."
"Stop! Needless to say." Chengguo Eaton interrupted someone who wanted to tell the whole story, and seriously warned: "It is a good thing to have improvements, just write the content in the magic tower log, so that the successor can understand. Now It should be kept secret from other people. As long as fewer people know your methods, it will be more difficult for them to design methods against you, and the more bargaining chips you have to rely on the magic tower to save your life. In this way, whether it is for you or us, There are benefits."
Lin Ke was sincerely grateful for this life-threatening advice. He saluted earnestly. "Yes, my lord."
"Okay, young man, don't worry too much. I will help you deal with this matter. You can focus on your own research and mentoring apprentices. I am very optimistic about your two disciples, who can learn To your wisdom." With a slight nod, Chengguo Eaton ended this conversation.
Looking at the picture on the mercury mirror energy pool, it returned to its original appearance. Lin did not immediately return to his original homework, but tried to clarify the news he had just received and the situation he was about to face. Then came the conclusion that there was no need to take these **** things to heart.
In the spirit of adapting to all changes, the Kadiz District is neither its superior unit; moreover, in terms of geographical location, if the opponent wants to come over with great fanfare, he has to go through the hinterland of Xijia District. Not to mention whether there will be other obstacles, I can definitely get the news in advance and make preparations.
Since the sky is high and the emperor is far away, what should he do in a hurry? It is reasonable to do what you do, and not to pay attention to those people.
