Even Verina didn't tell, Dane went to Sand Bay Harbor very low-key, met a pygmy called Beckley in a very ordinary tavern, and then a week later, she was entertained at Ghostblade Harbor Just let him go.
The reason to be so cautious is that this gnome is a key figure in Dane's eradication of the situation at Sand Bay. If the matter to be discussed with him can not be resolved, Dane really can only bow down to the merchants like those warlords who once mastered the Shawan Port.
Beckley is a businessman. He comes from Shire mainland, and he is engaged in tobacco and food trading business. In addition, he also imports some animal furs from Heidler, and special materials from monsters that can be used for alchemy or other manufacturing. .
Of course, Dane's most important point is not his own business, but his other identity-one of the eleven senior members of the Shire United Chamber of Commerce, and the second speaker of the General Affairs Office of the Shawan Port. .
In other words, Beckley, who looks funny and bears a small belly, is the full agent of the interests of the Shire United Chamber of Commerce in Sandy Bay Port.
The three giant chambers of commerce in charge of the General Affairs Office of Shawan Port have the same interests in Shawan Port, so the cooperation seems close.
But Dane didn't think they were completely iron-clad.
So the place where the game was broken was here.
In the past, the experiences of warlords who had fought against merchants in the Shawan Port, but all ended in failure, clearly told Dane that relying on military power alone, there is no way to get in the Shawan Port. Troublesome. It would be better to change it.
For example, how about an attack from inside the General Affairs Office?
With the cooperation of the three Big Mac Chambers of Commerce, Dane had no way at all. But what if a chamber of commerce stands on the same front as itself?
This is a train of thought. Dane pursued this idea and thought deeply.
The Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce was first excluded by him from the cooperative selection. This business organization that has deep control over the wasteland is not so good at dealing with it.
Their power has infiltrated almost every inch of Hindler's land. Dane didn't think they had any reason to help themselves, especially in the situation of Hindler. Before the war was about to start, the Gold Flash Chamber of Commerce had weighed on the two governors, Conley and Ozer, and they went to the source No one can sin the line.
In this way, in their eyes, how could Dane be considered?
Of course, Dane seemed to be on the same front with Governor Ozer. But it is precisely because of this, in contrast, the Ambivalent attitude adopted by the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce makes it more impossible for them to open a door of convenience for Dion, which will easily provoke Conley.
As for angering Ozer? That is not the case. After all, Dane was the first to pick. Compared to Ozzy's reversal with the Goldsmith Chamber of Commerce for this matter, he helped the Goldsmith Chamber to persuade Dion to be more likely.
The Sequoia Chamber of Commerce, they have little entanglement with the many warlord forces of Hindler, is another situation.
The foundation of the Sequoia Chamber of Commerce is in the Principality of Florence and the Kingdom of Pudri, which is almost the core of human society. For Schindler, to a greater extent, they can only be regarded as a source of raw materials and a dumping place of commercial products.
The reason why they can be one of the masters of the General Affairs Office of the Shawan Port is because their financial resources are indeed huge, and many of the handicraft products they bring, such as finished clothing, swords and arms, etc. It is very much needed by Lair, and it is difficult to produce on a large scale except in a productive human society.
The purpose of the Sequoia Chamber of Commerce has always been to regard Hindrell as a market and not to be excessively involved in the warlord struggle here. Moreover, controlling the Shawan Port in the hands of merchants is also the most beneficial option for the Sequoia Chamber of Commerce. They are more dependent on local business policies than the other two chambers of commerce to cut costs and increase profits.
Therefore, because of this, it is even more difficult to win their help than to win the help of the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce.
In this way, the Shire United Chamber of Commerce is the only option remaining for Dane.
What's more, Dane feels that he and Shire United Chamber of Commerce have a natural basis for cooperation.
This chamber of commerce is based on the Shire continent, and the penetration of power in other countries and regions is very low. At the same time, they do not have such a large degree to intervene in politics and military in other regions.
Unlike the other two chambers of commerce, the Shire Chamber of Commerce has a very strong semi-official background. This can be seen from the purpose of their own chamber of commerce: committed to helping all Shire merchants outside the Shire continent.
This is also the biggest difference between them and the other two chambers of commerce. This so-called semi-official background makes the first goal of the Shire Chamber of Commerce not to live for profit just like a pure businessman. More often, they also shoulder the responsibility of working hard for blood transfusion for the development of Shire mainland itself.
The various raw materials, grains, and consumer goods that are abundant in Shire mainland are loaded on ships and transported out of the fleet. These things are used in exchange for various rare mineral resources in the Shire mainland itself, as well as various magical props of the finished product.
But to be honest, such a business is not very good.
Mineral resources, magic props, and magic equipment ~ EbookFREE.me ~ These can be said that any force will focus on strategic materials. It's okay to do a small amount, but it is not easy to change a lot.
Mineral resources are okay to say that there are still a lot of Hindler's mineral deposits and lack of the ability to turn minerals into direct products. Many warlords rely on exporting raw ore for their livelihood. But magic props ... that's scarce no matter where they are.
But it was Dane who had both.
This is the basis of his negotiations with Beckley, with a larger and more stable share of mineral resources, and stable supply of alchemy potions and magic equipment orders in exchange for the support and cooperation of the Shire Union Chamber of Commerce in Shawan Port. In addition, Dane guarantees that after the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce and the Sequoia Chamber of Commerce are squeezed out of the Shawan Port, he will certainly guarantee the interests of the Shire Chamber of Commerce in the port to a large extent.
Think about sharing the Shawan Port with the other two and monopolizing the entire port city. Which benefit would be greater? Add to that Dion's commitment to supply the Shire Chamber of Commerce's scarce mineral and magic industrial products, as well as the commitment to import a variety of preliminary processed semi-finished raw material orders from the Shire mainland, Beckley was obviously moved.
