Void city has become more and more prosperous. Although its geographical location is not ideal, it has naturally invested a lot of effort as Sean Connery, the first city of Lord panda. Therefore, Neil even spent tens of thousands of gold coins to build roads and completely open up the roads of Hongye town and steel wing training camp (once panda town), Even to IDA's side.
Of course, except for the chilavs, any road leading to the void city in Sean's territory, whether direct or indirect, has been basically completed. To this end, William even formulated a special patrol force to regularly clean up and rectify these roads and potential hazards around them. In this way, a large number of businessmen flowed into the void city thousands of miles away.
The only pity is that the void City, or the whole pandaling, has not received the rating of the pan continental alliance, so no chamber of Commerce joining the pan continental alliance has come here to invest. Virtually, the income of panda collar is much less. At present, the income of the whole territory mainly depends on taxes and some special products transported from a large number of grain planting and Hongye town. If Viscount Rudd had not managed Dayi collar well and made more profits, I'm afraid with Sean's current force of more than 20000 people, He has long been bankrupt.
The issue of income has indeed become a top priority for the whole territory.
But anyway, this is only the problem of the whole territory, not the problem of the empty city.
Therefore, the void city is prospering rapidly in a situation comparable to deformity.
However, at the moment, there was an extremely fierce quarrel in a room of the Lord's residence in the void City, and the quarrel was becoming more and more intense. If people did not know it, they would almost think it was about to start fighting.
Just look at the accustomed appearance of several soldiers stationed outside the door, you can know that the situation may not be so bad.
In fact, when this happened the first day, the guards really looked like great enemies, and even knocked open the door and rushed in. However, with the increase of the number of days, these guards are now completely calm, because this kind of quarrel happens almost every day - from the morning to lunch time, and then from the afternoon tea time to the late night, which has lasted for ten days.
In these ten days, the negotiations in the conference room have not gone smoothly.
The guards did not understand these things. They only knew that those who came to negotiate were from the pan continental chamber of Commerce, and they arrived in the void city more than half a month ago. As soon as they arrived, they launched an extremely fierce momentum, which reportedly forced commander William to nod. Seeing that the negotiation was about to end, administrative officer Neil finally came back, and all the guards and soldiers who saw administrative officer Neil on that day will never forget that scene.
The first ray of dawn shines and sets.
When the city gate opened slowly, a carriage with disgusting blood smell came in front of it - the whole carriage had been completely dyed red by blood, and the purple black solidified after a large amount of blood dried up made the carriage extremely ferocious and terrible.
The driver was a black armor guard with a broken arm, and there were 17 black armor cavalry guards beside the carriage, but almost all of these soldiers were injured. The coachman with only one hand seemed to be the least injured among these black armor guards, because several of the cavalry around the carriage had even fallen into a coma.
When he saw the scene in front of him, the guard of the gate was immediately shocked.
Because judging from the costumes and marks of these black Armored Cavalry, there is no doubt that the newly established heavy cavalry force was issued by commander William a few months ago. However, in the wars that broke out in the territory before, the casualty rate of this heavy cavalry unit was too high. More than 700 people were killed in the battle, and even the serial number almost had to be cancelled. Therefore, after the war, this heavy cavalry unit was actually in a state of rest and rectification.
It was not until two months ago that commander William appointed him to Iraq to escort consul Neil back.
These guards calculated the time, and the dark wings should have arrived in the void city in these days, but they didn't expect to see such a terrible scene in front of them. What degree of attack did they encounter? However, as a former mercenary regiment, there was nothing like the day when the knife licked blood. Therefore, after a burst of shock, the superior commander soon issued an order and began to go out of the city immediately to protect the team and carriage into the city. At the same time, he also immediately informed Commander William.
The dark wings of a whole 300 people, after this war, I'm afraid they will also cancel the designation and establishment!
In any case, it is not an auspicious symbol for a force whose establishment and designation have been cancelled less than half a year.
So when Neil got off the wagon, his eyes were cold.
The next situation is beyond many people's understanding, because when Neil took over the negotiation with the pan continental chamber of Commerce, he actually showed a completely different indifference and strength from the past. He refused to give in to even a small profit, and even added many favorable conditions only for himself in many actual trade negotiations, especially in the import and export tariffs of the territory, he directly adopted the system of collecting taxes according to the amount, and imposed a road tax at the same time.
You know, in the trade system reached by the pan continental chamber of commerce with any country, tariffs are allocated by vehicle. In other words, no matter how much goods a carriage carries, only the tariff of one carriage will be charged, and if it just passes by and does not carry out any trade and commercial activities in the territory, the territory or country will not even charge any fees to the continental chamber of Commerce Union.
It is precisely because of this that the negotiations with the pan continental chamber of commerce immediately reached an impasse since Neil's return.
"What you said is too harsh for me to agree." A middle-aged man with a moustache roared in the conference room, "at present, the territories and countries that have signed trade cooperation contracts with our chamber of Commerce Alliance are almost all over the mainland, and no one has adopted the practice of collecting taxes according to the amount. Now I have agreed to your request, but you have to charge 10% of the market purchase price per kilogram of goods! "
If the purchase price of a kilogram of goods is a gold coin, the 10% charge is a silver coin. This amount seems small, but you should know that a carriage carrying goods can never put only one kilogram of materials. Usually, it can load at least 5000 grams to one ton of materials, which is equivalent to paying five silver coins to one gold coin. However, the problem is that the purchase price per kilogram of many important materials and goods can never be just one gold coin, or even ten gold coins A hundred gold coins, then this tax is very terrible.
In other places, for trucks returning to the mainland chamber of Commerce, tariffs of one gold coin for small trucks, five gold coins for medium trucks and ten gold coins for large trucks are usually adopted, regardless of the size and goods carried.
"You can refuse." Neil stared at each other with a cold face and sneered, "anyway, there is really no good material production in our territory at present. You don't need to deal with us."
"You!" The man with a moustache turned red in an instant.
"We agreed to this request." Just then, a middle-aged man who looked no younger than the man with a moustache whispered.
Neil turned his head and stared coldly at each other.
In the last ten days, the middle-aged man has always been responsible for watching and recording, never interposed, and has always been very low-key, so that Neil has almost forgotten his existence in the last few days, but he did not expect that he is the one who can really decide everything in this negotiation. This loss of judgment due to emotional interference has not appeared in Neil's life for a long time. Of course, he knows that he may have missed many important intelligence and clues. It can even be said that if he didn't care about the trade negotiations with the pan continental chamber of Commerce, he would have lost a series of negotiations.
However, Neil couldn't calm down at the thought that there were 18 dead and so many of them were disabled and seriously injured.
After talking with ABIS that day, Neil came up with a plan. Anyway, with the protection of these two people, and they also showed absolute strength, so Neil let the dark wings rush back to the void city first to avoid layoffs due to possible dangers and accidents. However, he did not expect that the pan continental chamber of Commerce Alliance would be so crazy that it would directly kill the whole dark wing. If DEX didn't smell the blood and strong fluctuations later, I'm afraid the dark wing would not even stay with the last 18 people.
At the thought of this, Neil can't give these pan continental chamber of commerce any good face.
"We have agreed to this condition, so can consul Neil give in appropriately?" The middle-aged man put down his quill pen and said politely, "maybe some people in the chamber of Commerce Alliance have gone too far in some things, but we have no malice."
"Businessmen pursue profits. If they don't have enough interests, they can never do it by some extreme means." Neil sneered, "anyway, my requirements and conditions have been put here. If you find it unacceptable, you can't sign a contract with us."
The middle-aged man took off his glasses and covered up a flash of anger in his eyes by wiping his glasses: "is that what Sir Connery meant?"
"The Lord has given me full power to deal with it, so you don't need to worry. The Lord will support my decision." Neil replied coldly.
"I see." The middle-aged man put on his glasses and his voice became a little cold. "I don't know when Sir Connery will come back. I also want to discuss some things with him face to face. This matter has a great impact. I'm afraid it's not something that consul Neil can represent. After all, it's related to the interests and layout of the whole chamber of Commerce Alliance. "
The middle-aged man especially emphasized the "interests and layout of the chamber of Commerce Alliance", which is an answer to Neil's previous words of "pursuing profits".
"Lord, I'm afraid it will take another month or two to return." Neil whispered, "but I don't think it's necessary to continue negotiations on the wild land. The Lord is very interested in that land, and after all, someone broke the rules first. "
"Oh?" The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows.
Neil didn't speak, just clapped his hands. Soon someone sent the two boxes in.
