Chapter 168: Running a Chamber of Commerce is just a side job
"I have some high-level magic cores in my storage ring. If you need to recover your fighting spirit, you can take them out and use them. Of course, I can't move my whole body now, so you have to take them yourself..."
“Eh… No.”
"You got the wrong one. That's my daily necessities storage ring. The magic core is in another purple gem ring..."
"Oh. There are clothes in this storage ring. Do you want me to get you some clothes to wear first?"
"Will it be easier for you to treat me if you are dressed?"
"No... it's not very convenient."
"Then don't take it. Wait until you're done."
“…”
Since I can't hold it, I might as well just let it all take a look.
Canossa acted frankly and the atmosphere became less awkward.
And her injuries were healed in an orderly manner thanks to Ryan's extraordinary healing ability.
After seeing that her ruptured muscles could be completely repaired, this beautiful lady no longer felt depressed.
The common method is to roughly heal the wound in large areas.
But for the broken muscle fibers, that level of healing would allow her to stand up again, but her power and strength would be several levels lower than before.
This is absolutely despairing news for a top-notch extraordinary person.
Ryan's magical healing "gang thread" can finely sew those muscles back together bundle by bundle, and they can be restored to their original state in a blink of an eye.
This is what surprised Canossa so much.
But suturing muscle fibers is a very laborious and energy-consuming task.
It took Ryan most of the day to start healing.
…
It is only a matter of time before Canossa fully recovers from his injuries.
Without the worry of being "disabled", this beautiful lady's mood became better and better.
Except for the time when Ryan was suturing the muscle fibers, which required him to concentrate and not be disturbed, the two of them could also chat casually when Ryan was resting to recover his fighting spirit.
This encounter made the relationship between the two suddenly become very close.
It seemed that because of their relationship, they were no longer outsiders, and for the first time, Canossa opened up and talked about many topics that he had never talked about with others.
In this dark underground temple that has been silent for countless years, they spoke to each other, and also to the murals and dry bones.
No, a few hours later.
Ryan had almost treated all the possible injuries on Mrs. Canossa, and there was no urgency anymore. All that was left was to sew them up one by one according to the order.
As they talked, the two began to discuss their experiences in extraordinary cultivation.
After this conversation, Ryan was also shocked.
"So... Madam, you established the Chamber of Commerce just to practice this [Mighty Demon God] body-refining secret method?"
"Yes! As you know, this secret technique requires a lot of fighting spirit. If there is no special opportunity, you will be stuck at the threshold and your extraordinary level will stagnate. And the later you get, the greater the demand for fighting spirit. So, I need a lot of money to buy magic cores, and then use it to practice the secret technique... and then I started a side job."
"That... 'Black Gold Chamber of Commerce' is just a sideline in your eyes?"
"That's right. Being a businessman is just a way to make a living. What I pursue most is to be extraordinary. The more money I need, the more I want to think of ways to earn more. Then, I got some in various industries..."
“…”
Only then did Ryan understand why Canossa's golden body realm was so high.
He had once had this conjecture, using the magic core to forcefully practice martial arts.
But the amount of magic cores consumed by this method is an astronomical figure that even high-ranking nobles would be daunted by.
I used the "Gang Line" to take a shortcut, while this lady used her "money power".
The money that Canossa spent on her advancement to the extraordinary realm in recent years, in her own words, was probably equal to the income of the two great treasuries of Omar and Sid for 10 to 20 years...
And...from the tone of voice, it seems that it was just a casual side job, but he created such an exaggerated super business empire.
After listening to Canossa’s own story, Ryan suddenly felt that this might be the true template for the protagonist.
…
But when talking about business, Ryan remembered something and said, "Oh, Mrs. Canossa, I almost forgot to tell you. Now Omar has set up the 'Sunflower Chamber of Commerce', and it seems that they have reached an agreement with the City of Glory. In the past few months, they have almost completely squeezed out the market share of your Black Gold Chamber of Commerce in the City of Glory..."
"I guessed it long ago."
When Canossa heard this, he was not surprised at all, and a hint of disdain appeared on his face.
"When we encountered the attack of the 'Black Skull Phantom Thieves' in the wilderness, I guessed that the two empires were going to confront us. But I didn't expect those guys to be so stupid that they thought they could occupy the market share by simply relying on brutal 'robbing'?"
When she said this, she did not hide her contempt for such barbaric behavior, and was full of confidence in her own business skills.
"Those old nobles still want to control the entire market by forceful monopoly? Ridiculous! Those high-ranking nobles probably don't even know how much a piece of black bread eaten by the common people costs. How can they understand real business? It's okay to play with resource monopoly, but the rest... hehe."
"oh."
Ryan didn't quite understand the rules of business operations, but listening to Canossa's tone, he seemed to have nothing to worry about.
But the "Sunflower Chamber of Commerce" did bring her some troubles after all. Canossa pursed her lips again and said, "However, this period of time will be a bit difficult. But they can't achieve anything."
Ryan asked doubtfully, "It won't work?"
Kanosa had long seen through the true nature of the "Sunflower Chamber of Commerce" and shrugged, saying, "That official chamber of commerce may seem large in size and has extensive resources. But in fact, it is useless except for breeding parasites. Regardless of whether it makes money or not, this 'Sunflower Chamber of Commerce' will eventually collapse due to uneven distribution of spoils."
Ryan: “Oh?”
Canossa: "The integration of resources in the early stage will quickly turn them into a giant. But in the later stage... because the nobles who control the Chamber of Commerce are not just one or two families, there are many people who want to share the profits, and they are definitely not united. I dare to assert that there will definitely be people who will take advantage of their positions to enrich themselves, which will be a huge hidden danger that will cause the Chamber of Commerce to collapse..."
…
The two chatted intermittently, and Ryan roughly understood the operating model of the "Sunflower Chamber of Commerce".
Obviously, Mrs. Canossa has a strong business acumen and intuition, and she has already prepared a way to deal with it.
Suddenly, he thought of something and said, "Um... Madam, I don't know much about the operation of the Chamber of Commerce, but I want to consult you about something..."
When Canossa heard this, a faint smile appeared in his eyes, "Tell me... why are you so polite all of a sudden?"
Ryan said: "I have a territory under construction, and I will need to trade with it. If possible... I would like to ask you to help me with future business planning."
He used to be alone , and if he was well fed, his whole family would not be hungry.
But now it’s different, suddenly there is a responsibility.
After all, it was because of his suggestion that the surviving members of the Coleman tribe went to a dangerous place like the "Kalatwa Basin" to establish a new settlement.
As for Tust, Karl, Udo, and those familiar Coleman elder warriors, whether as friends or allies, he naturally cared about everyone's safety there.
Oh, and there's Ymir, the ally who helped him a lot.
If the mechanical city territory can be successfully established, then more things will need to be considered in the later stage.
For example, trade.
But building a territory requires resources.
If we only rely on Ymir or the resources brought by Coleman, it will be far from enough.
Even if a city is built, it will just be a stagnant pool.
The development of a territory is inseparable from commerce, industry and some daily necessities.
For example, coal, textiles, minerals, equipment, food, daily necessities...
It is impossible for them to be self-sufficient in everything. Closing the country to the outside world will only lead to further backwardness.
The circulation of commerce will inject great vitality into the development of the territory, and also bring huge wealth...
Ryan was very clear about this; the history of his previous life had already taught him enough lessons.
There are many high-level Warcraft resources in the "Kalatwa Basin", and it can be expected that they will have a lot of Warcraft material resources in the future.
However, if a large amount of the same resources is held in hand, its value is very limited; once it is circulated, its value will skyrocket.
It will also snowball and make the territory richer and richer...
And Mrs. Canossa in front of you is the best business partner!
…
Upon hearing this, Canossa raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Your territory?"
