"Alright, Uncle Lance. Look at you, it's not a big deal."

"This is only the beginning, I always say, this is only the beginning." He picked up his teacup and downed it in one gulp, "Later on, you go give your higher ups a meeting, I don't care about anything else, but this meaning must be repeatedly emphasized, just ask them, is it enough for them to become the executives of a Chamber of Commerce that can dominate the Imperial Capital's clothing industry, and they are even the executives of a super merchant guild that has swept the entire Empire, or even the entire mainland?!"

Lance slowly calmed down as well, nodding. "The young master is too farsighted. I can't wait."

Lin Ke waved his hand, picked up the cup of tea O'Neal had poured for him and finished it in one gulp. "The empire has 32 first-tier and first-tier cities, including the regional economic center. 32 companies of the Wind and Tide Chamber of Commerce are simultaneously preparing and opening their stores. Is there a problem?"

Lance lowered his head in thought for a moment before he looked up and said, "The problem with funding is actually secondary, the biggest problem is that the talent reserve you anticipated is unable to keep up with the problem of the capital explosion. Thirty-two cities can open their shops at the same time, and we can open twenty cities' shops first, and after we finish planning these twenty cities, we can open the rest of the twelve cities, do you think we can do that, Young Master?" "Or …"

"Since when did Uncle Lance become so unhappy? If you have any suggestions, just say them out, can't I eat you?"

Lance smiled as well, "There's still one more method, young master. Your clan, the Moutes clan. Although the Moutes clan's merchant group isn't that big, it shouldn't be too big of a problem for them to urgently transfer a team from four to five cities, right?"

Lin Ke smiled and nodded, but didn't express his agreement. Instead, he said to Xue'er, "Xue'er, did you tell mother about me cooperating with the Maureen Chamber of Commerce to establish the Elegant Wind Chamber of Commerce?"

"Yes," Xue'er nodded her head obediently, "Just a few days ago, I received a letter from Wind City. Through the family's Chamber of Commerce, they have already found out about the Avalon of Five Elements' grand plans and the current development. Madam, you mean …"

"Hehe, madame's meaning is that I should hand over the matter of the Wind Merchant Guild to her and then go back to the academy to properly study, right?" Link tapped her forehead.

"Cohen, actually, the lady did it for your own good, she didn't want you to delay your training, and you know that even if Rhine and the other elders support you, there will still be some people who will jump out and do bad things. She was worried that you might be in danger, so she wouldn't care about the money," Xue'er explained to Selina hurriedly.

"So I said, sometimes you really are more like her child than I am. In fact, I never doubted her love for me, just like you. But the problem is, she can protect me for the rest of my life?"

He waved his hand to signal the three people from the Moulin family to sit down before sighing, "Don't worry about the assistance provided by the Moutings family for now. The Elegant Wind Chamber of Commerce is my Elegant Chamber of Commerce, and they're not from the Moutts family yet, they're only the first step I've taken toward this continent. Uncle Lance, you should understand my meaning, no outsiders are allowed to criticize this land excessively, even if it's someone from the upper echelons of the Moutts family.

Encountering bottlenecks is a problem that every Chamber of Commerce will encounter, so appropriately slow down your pace, draw up a list of the first twenty cities, and then do it. I don't think that anyone will be able to recover from the shock after a while, "he drank another cup of tea and continued," We need to strengthen our relationship with the big aristocrats. I believe that Uncle Lance has also received many invitations from the big aristocrats during this period of time.

The Chamber of Commerce is getting bigger and bigger, and the enemies they face are becoming more and more numerous, so it's impossible for them to not have enough trump cards, so naturally the more supporters they have on the surface, the better. In addition, it's better to spend money to build our own team. I think it's unnecessary to say this, I hope that when I come out of the War God Academy, I will have a reusable force in my hands.

"Better not."

The winter in the Wind City was much colder than in the imperial city. Coupled with the all-weather cold winds, it made people feel a bone-piercing chill.

Rhine's small courtyard always acted as a temporary meeting room, and today was no exception. Except for Selina, who was wrapped up in a fur coat, the other old people did not wear much.

Big brother, you were right before, this is the real deal, "Third Elder Richard raised his glass and drank it all in one go, shaking his head as he sighed," To have turned from 800 gold coins to 30,000 gold coins in less than a month is already quite shocking. But now, 30,000 gold coins has turned into a huge, grand, and beautiful company whose name will soon resound throughout the empire.

Randolph chuckled and said, "Third brother, you still haven't quelled that thought?"

Richard hesitated for a second, then sighed and raised his glass in a toast to Rhine. Rhine smiled and also raised his glass to drink, and that was the end of everything.

"This is unbelievable. If I knew this would happen, I would have asked Cohen to help Selina," Fifth Elder Quincy said slowly.

"Bullshit!" Second Elder Shan Di, who had been quiet for a while, suddenly cursed out loud like never before. "Where did you get the reputation of the top student in the first year of the Imperial Capital? That's the right way!"

Quincy had only ever seen Sandy in such a state.

"Okay, okay, it's obviously a good thing, but why are you making a ruckus again?" Rhine smiled and pressed her arm, "Serena, did you write back to Snow?"

The woman frowned slightly, "That's right father, this bastard is getting more and more disobedient. He might as well ignore me this time, father, please let me go to the capital, this way I won't be able to rest easy in the Wind City. Cohen is just a kid, he's only 14 years old, and he's making such a big fuss by himself in the capital. I'm worried that he might not be able to control himself and might not even be able to save him!"

After a moment of silence, Rhine chuckled and said, "So what if you go to the capital?" He raised his cup and drank a mouthful of wine before saying, "Do you think that this fourteen year old brat will run into your arms and act like a spoiled child and obediently hand over the power of management over to you?!"

Selina was stunned.
