Guanhai City, Blue Sea Chamber of Commerce, Director Gavin is preparing the second batch of supplies to support Tieji Town.

The last time the supplies were robbed, although he and Director Locke pushed most of the responsibility onto the captain of the guard, Watson, and successfully got him to pack up and leave.

But the president still scolded him severely. If it weren't for his hard work and great contributions over the years, his position as a director would have to be removed.

In order to atone for his sins, Gavin took the initiative to take on the task of collecting the second batch of supplies and issued a military order.

If there is any mistake in this batch of supplies again, he will be an ordinary clerk for the rest of his life and will never be promoted.

Seeing that he has made up his mind, the president gave him the task.

He has been working hard to prepare supplies these days, and at the same time he is still thinking about the last time he transported supplies.

The more Gavin thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He always felt that there was a problem somewhere, but he couldn't detect it for a while.

In addition, he never found a monster that could match the heterochromatic Gardevoir, so he stopped thinking about it and focused on finding a suitable monster.

But it is not so easy to find a monster like the X-Color Gardevoir. He has been looking for it for several days in a row, but still has no clue.

The monsters found are either powerful but common, or rare but weak. There is no monster that is both powerful and rare.

In fact, they were able to catch the X-Color Gardevoir by luck. If they hadn't been lucky enough to catch Ralts, they would never have caught the X-Color Gardevoir that can teleport in their lifetime.

Unfortunately, the X-Color Gardevoir was hijacked by a group of bastards. It is harder than climbing to the sky to find a similar monster.

Could it be that Bach should be given a "natural disaster"?

No, no, the natural disaster monster is extremely rare and precious. It is the monster that the Chamber of Commerce has kept in its bottom box. How can it be given to a baron?

Even if Bach handed over all the territories to the Chamber of Commerce for management, the Chamber of Commerce would not hand over the natural disaster monster to him.

Since the natural disaster monster is not good, what kind of monster should be found?

I heard that the Chamber of Commerce just got an Absol. Should we give this monster to Baron Bach?

However, this monster represents "disaster", and I don't know if Baron Bach is willing to accept it.

Or should we give the demon fox to Bach, but Zoroark has not been tamed yet, and the Chamber of Commerce is planning to use it as bait to capture its companions.

Zoroark, who is cute and can create illusions, is very popular among the nobles. There is a high price in the market, and the price is even higher than Zoroark.

The Chamber of Commerce is planning to use this Zoroark to lure Zoroark out of its tribe, and it is almost impossible to give it to Bach.

Just when Gavin was still struggling with what kind of monster to look for, a guy came to inform him to attend the council meeting.

"Didn't the council meeting just end not long ago? Why is it held again now?" Gavin was a little confused.

As the name suggests, the council meeting is led by the president and vice president to convene all the directors of the Chamber of Commerce to discuss major issues related to the development of the Chamber of Commerce.

At the board of directors, each member can propose suggestions and plans for the Chamber of Commerce, and then everyone will discuss and vote.

As long as more than two-thirds of the votes are obtained, the resolution will be passed, and all chambers of commerce in the Chamber of Commerce must cooperate with this resolution. Even if you vote against it, you must cooperate and cannot do anything to hinder it. Violators will be kicked out of the Chamber of Commerce.

This voting mechanism seems democratic, but in fact, the directors are backed by major chambers of commerce, and it is these chambers of commerce that make the final decision.

Especially the two major chambers of commerce, Blue Ocean and Yaojin, which occupy almost half of the seats on the board of directors, plus other affiliated chambers of commerce, so that they can influence the decision of the Chamber of Commerce to a certain extent.

If the two major chambers of commerce agree to this matter, then this matter must be done even if it is not possible. If the two major chambers of commerce disagree, then this matter must be stopped even if it has reached the last step.

The so-called voting is just a process, and it is still a game of capital in the final analysis.

However, the Blue Ocean Chamber of Commerce and the Yaojin Chamber of Commerce have always been at odds with each other, and it is difficult for them to reach a consensus on one thing, so the votes of other chambers of commerce are still somewhat useful, and the board of directors has not become a one-man show for the two major chambers of commerce.

There is no fixed time and frequency for the Council. The number of times and when to hold the meeting is decided by the president and vice president.

But generally speaking, the frequency of the Council is not high. After all, everyone is a businessman. They are busy making money. They can earn a lot of gold coins when they have meetings.

The president and vice president are also businessmen. They can naturally understand the feelings of the members and will not hold the Council frequently.

Usually, the Council is held only twice a year. Before the meeting, they will be notified a few days in advance so that everyone can prepare their suggestions.

The Council will only be held urgently when there is an emergency or a problem that needs to be solved urgently.

Just like the Council a few days ago, it was to discuss whether to invite nobles to join the Chamber of Commerce.

The joining of nobles will help expand the influence of the Chamber of Commerce. The two chambers of commerce rarely unify their opinions on this matter and let the directors of their chambers of commerce vote in favor.

Seeing that the two chambers of commerce agreed, the other chambers of commerce did not make any trouble and agreed to this proposal. This is why Director Locke went on a mission.

It has only been a few days since the last emergency meeting of the Council. Another Council is to be held. Is there any emergency?

Could it be that Ironthorn Town has already captured Rose Town? But this result was expected by everyone, so there was no need to hold a meeting for this.

Gavin thought about it all the way but couldn't figure it out, so he could only walk into the conference room with questions.

The directors in the conference room were also discussing the reason for convening the council this time, but no one came up with the reason. Only Director Locke of the Yaojin Chamber of Commerce stood aside with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Upon seeing this, Gavin was about to step forward and ask Locke if he knew anything. The door to the conference room was pushed open again, and the president and vice president walked in together.

The directors all saluted the two presidents, nodded, and then took their seats at the main table.

"Everyone, please stop standing and sit down." The president said.

"Yes." The directors found their seats and sat down.

"Everyone should be very curious about the reason for convening the council this time, so I'll make a long story short. The vice president and I just received news that Baron Bach of Ironthorn Town was defeated by Baron Ryan of Firefly Town when he attacked Rose Town. I don’t know whether I will live or die now.”

"Baron Ryan took over Rose Town and Ironthorn Town and became the biggest winner of this war!"

As soon as the president finished speaking, the directors below exploded.

"Firefly Town won? How did they do it?"

"Is Baron Bach a loser? He can lose even though he has such a huge advantage?"

"We finally managed to win over a nobleman, but it turned out that he was gone!"

"Didn't Baron Ryan just take over as the lord? Why has his strength improved so quickly? Can we win him over?"

"I heard that the Yaojin Chamber of Commerce has a good relationship with Yinghuo Town. How about letting them try?"

The directors were talking all over the place, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

As senior leaders of the Chamber of Commerce, they naturally knew the information about the surrounding nobles, so they were so surprised.

The strength of Ironthorn Town cannot be said to be one of the best in this area, it can also be said to be among the best. How could it be defeated by Yinghuo Town.

The old lord of Yinghuo Town was indeed capable of fighting. He had recruited their mercenaries to beat him, but the old lord disappeared and the knights were completely wiped out.

The new lord is just a young man. It is said that he has just come into contact with World of Warcraft not long ago. Baron Bach cannot even defeat this kind of opponent. Is he just doing it for a living?

"Quiet!"

The president knocked on the table with his hand, and the directors fell silent instantly. This shows that his prestige is still very high.

"I know you have a lot of questions, but now is not the time to discuss these. The specific battle situation and information will be sent soon. Sooner or later, you will know the details."

"But even if we know the specific information, it can't change the existing facts, so what we should discuss now is how to deal with this matter."

"Vice President, what do you think?"

The president turned to the vice president sitting beside him and asked.

"I don't have a clue at the moment, so I'd better listen to the opinions of the directors first."

The vice president shook his head and said that as the vice president, he certainly could not speak out his thoughts personally. If the directors below caught the loophole and refuted it, his reputation would also be affected.

Of course, what he wanted to say would be helped by his own directors.

So Director Locke was the first to speak: "Then I'll start by throwing some light on things. My opinion is very simple. Since the Baron Bach whom we had previously attracted is out, let's change our target. Baron Lane is a good choice."

"He has captured three towns at a young age, and his future achievements are immeasurable. If we can invest in him now, we will definitely get huge returns in the future!"

As soon as Locke's opinion was put forward, he received approval from other directors of the Yaojin Chamber of Commerce.

"Yes, Baron Lane's potential is much greater than that of Baron Bach!"

"Baron Lane is relatively young and his mind is not yet fully mature. He is easily corrupted by money and beautiful women, making it easier for us to control him."

Some people agree with Locke's view, and of course some people disagree.

The directors of the Blue Ocean Chamber of Commerce have always been opposed to the directors of the Yaojin Chamber of Commerce, and this time is no exception.

"Hmph, what's the use of having great potential? People look down on us. I remember Director Locke invited Baron Lane before, but he rejected us flatly."

"That's right, and I don't think anyone who can defeat Baron Bach in a short time will be mentally immature. Baron Lane may be more difficult to deal with than Bach."

"I heard that the saint candidate of Poseidon Temple is going to settle in Firefly Town. Baron Ryan may have reached a cooperation with Poseidon Temple, so his strength has improved so quickly."

The directors of the Blue Ocean Chamber of Commerce are not baseless refutations. What they say is very logical and reasonable.

The two parties refused to give in to each other, and they started arguing with each other.

"If you don't want to win over Baron Lane, then you should come up with other methods!"

"Don't worry about other methods for now. Anyway, I just don't agree with your proposal!"

"It's a joke. The territory of Baron Bach that you recognized is gone. You won't want to win over him, right? That's right. After all, you managed to dig up Baron Bach with great difficulty. You even gave away Gardevoir. Unfortunately, now It’s a combination of man and beast!”

"You still have the nerve to say that Gardevoir was lost in your hands!"

"Don't talk nonsense, or I'll sue you for slander! I'm not the main person in charge of transporting supplies this time. If you want to blame, just blame your director Gavin!"

“Director Gavin’s actions are indeed unreliable, but aside from the facts, don’t you have any responsibility?”

Gavin on the side was on pins and needles when he heard this. I didn't say a word, how could it still involve me?

The directors of other chambers of commerce sat in their seats and watched the show with great interest. The quarrel between the two chambers of commerce has become a permanent program of the council, but there will be new feelings every time they watch it.

They wished they could bring some dried fruits and drinks to eat and watch.

"Don't talk to me about this. Just rely on your brain to come up with any good ideas. Last time, in order to steal my customers, you actually sent a guy to steal my plaque in the middle of the night. It's really unspeakable!"

"You have the nerve to accuse me? I don't know who sent someone to throw sand into my food. As a result, there was a sand dune baby in the sand, and your man was almost sucked dry!"

The quarrels between the directors of the two major chambers of commerce became more and more intense, and they began to expose each other's strengths.

This made the director next to him stunned. He didn't expect that the business warfare methods used by the directors of the big chamber of commerce were so simple and unpretentious. He had to quickly take a small notebook and write it down. This was all based on experience!

Seeing that the directors were arguing endlessly and were about to take action, the leader of the president finally couldn't bear it any longer. He slammed the table heavily and yelled:

"Shut up, everyone! This is the council, not the market! How can you be so noisy here?!"

"After all, you are also the directors in charge of one party. Each of you owns several shops and handles countless gold coins. Why are you arguing here like a grocery shopping lady? You have lost the face of our trade association. It’s over!”

When the directors saw that the president was angry, they all shut up angrily.

The other directors stopped watching the show and sat upright, looking at the president seriously.

In fact, this is also the standing procedure of the council. Every time there is a quarrel, the president or vice president will stop them, scold them, and then start voting. Everyone is accustomed to this.

Of course, before voting, the two presidents still have to express their opinions.

"Vice President, what do you think of Director Locke's proposal?"

The president asked in a calm tone. He already knew the vice president's answer. Director Locke's suggestion was obviously what the vice president asked him to say.

As expected, the vice president pretended to think for a while and then said:

"I think what Director Locke said is reasonable. We can try to cooperate with Baron Lane. President, what do you think?"

The president stared at the vice president's face for a while, then suddenly smiled and said:

"I also think his proposal is very good, and I will vote in favor of it."

As soon as these words came out, the vice president's pupils trembled slightly, and he was very surprised.

The directors of the Blue Ocean Chamber of Commerce also looked puzzled. Their mood at the moment can be described in one line:

"I am about to fight to the death, why did Your Majesty surrender first?!" (End of Chapter)
