Chapter 1695: ""

If you want to know who you are, you must face up to and recognize your true self. Those who cannot identify with yourself are doomed to failure!

"Cordell, do you know what it means to proactively propose a truce?" Huber's sharp eyes shot directly at him like a sharp blade: "If my father had fought side by side with His Majesty Frederick, I would have doubts Your intentions."
"Your Majesty once said that His Excellency changed the world's view of the Rheinland Business Alliance. He is a sacrificial knight, a warrior worthy of respect for all peoples, not an ordinary businessman." Cordel did not mean his own Words of beauty.
"Your Majesty Frederick, did you really say that?" No one would not want his deceased father to receive praise from others, especially this praiser is also the emperor of a powerful empire. No one can refuse such a praise, Hu. Bell is no exception.
"Your Majesty said this at the time of our country's deliberations, when hundreds of our nobles and nobles were present." Cordel would naturally not deceive each other in such matters. A qualified diplomat is not good at lying, but good at lying. Use everything he knows.
"But what really determines the name behind His Excellency is not His Majesty's praise, is it?" Cordel said indifferently, controlling the rhythm of the two people's conversation: "Our Majesty's praise may be able to achieve His Excellency for a while. His prestige, but it cannot allow His prestige to be passed on forever; only his heir is good enough, his prestige can be passed on."
"Cordell, you know, I can't take such a big risk because of your words; the life and death of our family and the Chamber of Commerce are far more important than the name of my father, and I will never be our family. Adventure with the life and death of the Chamber of Commerce."
Huber's attitude did not exceed Cordel's expectations. As a heir to a large family who has been conservative and ambitious, he has just succeeded the Ninth President of the Rheinland Business Association. Cordel was surprised.
"What if I could help you become a hero to save the Rheinland Business League without your risk?"
"This is impossible!" No matter what, Huber is a fairly qualified businessman, so he never believes that there will be free lunch in this world, nor does it believe that there is any investment with low risk and high return.
Cordel did not take Huber’s rebuttal to heart, he continued at his own pace:
I know that any resolution of your Rheinland Business Association must be supported by two-thirds of the president in your parliament before it can be passed; You have a total of twelve presidents in the Rheinland Business League, that is to say, I only need to persuade seven other people besides you to pass the truce, right?"
"That being said, this matter is far more complicated than you think." Huber did not hide anything in front of Cordel: "The caravan that we were destroyed by the Huns tribe, not only transported your Dragon Empire to us. Weapons and equipment we provide to them for free, as well as a large number of merchants within our business alliance that sold all kinds of military supplies worth nearly ten million gold coins in the past."
"The batch of various military supplies with a value of nearly ten million gold coins can cost up to two or three million gold coins. This level of loss is nothing to your wealthy Rheinland Business Association." All the issues related to money, Ke Del didn't really care.
"The crux of the matter is that this is not just a matter of gold coins, but the dignity of our Rheinland Business Association has been trampled on! Do you think that those of us who are presidents want to fight the Huns? No, it is the power of civilian businessmen We are at war with the Huns!"
"What if we can provide you with sufficient benefits?"
"From the fact that the group of businessmen promoted the propaganda among the people, we have no other choice."
In the face of Huber’s decline, Cordel began to gradually put forward his own real demands: "In fact, what we need is not a high-profile truce between you and the Huns, as long as you are in a substantially non-combat state; even in your name Shang is still the warring parties, which will not have a big impact on the situation. Anyway, we are ready to provide assistance directly to the Huns."
"You want to borrow weapons from the territory of our business alliance to provide the Huns with weapons and equipment?"
"Not only weapons and equipment, but also other munitions such as grain and grass supplies. Anyway, we will provide whatever the Huns need; however, this time we will no longer provide it for free, but sell it to them at market prices. Take a slice of it."
"What are you going to do?" Huber, who discovered that the matter was indeed operable, immediately revealed his businessman's character.
"Our Sofia Chamber of Commerce has prepared a batch of military supplies in the northwest of the empire. After this batch of military supplies is shipped to your Rheinland Business District, it will pay you a very considerable tax; you Rheinland Business Association need to pay The price is to provide a safe, reliable and confidential transportation channel for the Sofia Chamber of Commerce transporting these military supplies."
"Due to the current dilemma of the Huns, can they afford the military supplies you shipped over?"
"The military materials we transported in the past will be sold to them at market prices. If they can’t afford it, they will exchange it with the equivalent population, war horses, cattle and sheep; we will not take advantage of the fire, but we will never make a loss. Sales."
Huber, who nodded slightly, said nothing more. After a long thought, he solemnly asked Cordel: "What is the total value of the first military supplies you will ship, how much will you pay us?" Taxes; in the future, will the Sofia Chamber of Commerce ship military supplies to the Huns tribe, shall we collect taxes at a fixed rate, or at a fixed number of times?"
"Our first batch of military materials to be shipped has a total value of 100 million gold coins, and you can pay a one-time tax of 10 million gold coins to your Rhine Business Union; as for the materials shipped in the future, we can pay 10 times the total value of the goods each time. One of the taxes will be paid to you, or you can pay two million gold coins to you at a time. This can be determined by your Rheinland Business Association."
"Military supplies with a total value of 100 million gold coins pay only 10 million gold coins for too little tax!" Huber immediately shook his head and said: "In the current situation of the Huns, your military supplies of 100 million gold coins can at least exchange their total Various resources worth more than 300 million gold coins; we Rheinland Business Association are not greedy, as long as 50 million gold coins, this is our minimum requirement!"
"Huber, do you really think that the interests of the Rheinland Business Council are equal to the interests of your family?" To the Huber's lion, Cordel laughed on the spot: "Since I come to you first, then I will definitely give you and Your family retains a benefit; as for the interests of the Rheinland Business League, you will lead the way for you. I will talk slowly with the other eleven presidents, and I will never let you suffer!"
