Locke didn't continue to worry about Ryan's acting skills. The price had been negotiated anyway, and he wanted to confirm the cooperation as soon as possible.

"There's no need to eat. Let's discuss the specific content of the cooperation first."

Locke refused.

"There's no rush. Didn't I say that we can discuss it while eating? Why, is Director Locke in a hurry?"

Ryan asked, somewhat confused. Logically speaking, the main purpose of Guanhai City's visit this time was to reach cooperation with Yinghuo Town.

Now that the most important price aspect has been confirmed, and more than half of the purpose of cooperation has been achieved, why is Locke still so anxious?

"We're really in a hurry."

Locke hesitated for a moment, and finally told the reason for his anxiety.

"We are going out this time not only to cooperate with you on pharmaceuticals, but also to deliver support supplies to Tiezhan Town."

"Oh? Delivering supplies to Ironthorn Town? It seems they are about to attack Rose Town. I wonder what kind of supplies you have delivered to Ironthorn Town this time?"

Ryan raised his eyebrows and seemed to be very interested in the supplies.

"There are many types of supplies. Gold coins are the most basic, as well as supplies such as medicines and weapons. We even supported him with a powerful Pokémon."

Locke replied.

Ryan's heart sank when he heard this. This support material is really rich, and it is all useful for the war. If Ironthorn Town gets this batch of materials, its strength will definitely be greatly improved.

He has always regarded Tiethorn Town as a potential opponent, and he also knows that the two sides will have a battle in the future. Now that Tiethorn Town's strength has been enhanced, this is not good news for Yinghuo Town.

"As expected of Guanhai City, the action is so grand. I feel a little moved when I hear it."

Ryan pretended to joke.

"If Mr. Ryan is interested, you can join the mutual aid association at any time. We promise to support you with more supplies."

Locke naturally hopes that Ryan will join the mutual aid association, but he doesn't seem to be really moved by Ryan.

Sure enough, Ryan shook his head and refused:

"Forget it, I'll just sell medicine honestly and save your chamber of commerce some money."

"This money is nothing to the Yaojin Chamber of Commerce, and besides, the materials supported this time were not purchased by our Yaojin Chamber of Commerce."

"Your Chamber of Commerce didn't buy it? Who paid for it?"

"It's the Blue Ocean Chamber of Commerce, the largest chamber of commerce in Guanhai City. They also sent a director this time, so it's not convenient for me to leave him outside the city and dine alone with you. Please understand."

Locke explained.

Upon hearing this, Ryan glanced at Locke with interest.

The director of the Yaojin Chamber of Commerce has been continuously revealing information about this batch of supplies to Ryan since just now, and now he even bluntly states that this batch of supplies has nothing to do with the Yaojin Chamber of Commerce. It seems that there is a story in it.

Ryan tentatively asked Locke a few more questions, and the other party also told Locke everything he knew, as if he intended to let Ryan know the information.

Through inquiries, Ryan gradually understood the situation of this batch of supplies.

In fact, when Tieji Town expressed its willingness to cooperate with Guanhai City at the beginning, Guanhai City didn't believe it. There was no other way. They had been deceived by the nobles in recent years.

Since Guanhai City was defeated in World War I, they have become more and more eager for noble power and are looking for nobles everywhere to cooperate.

But how could the nobles look down on low-status businessmen? Naturally, they were unwilling to cooperate with them.

Therefore, Guanhai City encountered obstacles everywhere and worked hard for several years. In the end, no cooperation was reached.

At this time, a noble conveyed his willingness to cooperate to Guanhai City, which made Guanhai City very happy. After all the hardships, it was the end of the world, wasn't it?

So they ran to the nobles to talk about cooperation, but they told them that if they wanted to talk about cooperation, they had to see the sincerity of Guanhai City first.

Of course, Guanhai City knew what sincerity meant. They invested a lot of money and materials in that nobleman, and then they were full of expectations to reach cooperation with this nobleman.

But when they proposed cooperation to the nobleman, the nobleman regretted not wanting to cooperate.

This operation directly confused Guanhai City. What do you mean? It was you who said you would cooperate with us at the beginning, but now you are the one who regrets and says you won't cooperate. You are co-authoring to defraud us of our money?

After Guanhai City realized that this nobleman did not really want to cooperate with them, they wanted to get their previous investment back.

But the nobles are all greedy, how could they spit out what they swallowed in their stomachs? Anyway, he just expressed his willingness to cooperate and did not sign any contracts. Those investments were also voluntarily given by Guanhai City, so why did he Want to pay it back?

Guanhaicheng, who always valued credibility, didn't expect the nobles to be so shameless. He obviously talked about honor all day long, but he did such a thing. Aren't he afraid of damaging his reputation among the nobles?

However, that nobleman is really not afraid that his reputation will be affected. If he deceives other nobles, even if it is just verbal deception without signing a contract, his reputation will become worse and he will be denounced by the nobles.

But he was cheating the merchants of Guanhai City. It was too late for the other nobles to have fun and they would not stand up for these merchants at all.

In the eyes of the arrogant nobles, those businessmen being cheated only showed that they were stupid and did not even sign the most basic contract. Didn't they deserve to be cheated?

Therefore, not only was the reputation of the nobleman not affected, this incident also became a topic of daily bragging for him. He mentioned it at every turn and told others vividly how he played tricks on these businessmen.

The merchants in Guanhai City had nothing to do with this nobleman. They couldn't talk or fight him, so they could only swallow the bitter pill silently.

They thought this matter was over like this. Although they lost some money, the money was not even a drop in the bucket for Guan Haicheng, so they didn't take it too seriously.

But other nobles who were short of money saw that it was so easy to get money from Guanhai City and their reputation would not be affected, so they began to follow suit one by one.

Guanhai City also knows that these nobles do not really want to cooperate with them, but they still have a sense of luck, what if there are nobles who are really willing to cooperate with them, what if there are nobles who are corrupted by money.

Therefore, Guanhai City invested in many nobles despite knowing that they would be cheated out of money, but none of these nobles were willing to cooperate with them.

Guanhai City is very rich, but they don't want to throw money away to those nobles in vain, so they decided not to show their sincerity. Unless they sign a contract, they will not give money.

As soon as the nobles saw that they could no longer get money, they stopped expressing their willingness to cooperate with Guanhai City. The merchants in Guanhai City also completely recognized these nobles. They looked down on the merchants from the bottom of their hearts, and they were even less willing to do so. Cooperate with businessmen.

So when Tieji Town conveyed its willingness to cooperate with Guanhai City, Guanhai City still didn't believe that Tieji Town would sincerely cooperate with them, thinking that Tieji Town was still the same as the previous nobles, and just wanted to cheat them out of money.

So Guanhai City established the Mutual Chamber of Commerce, and the meaning was very clear. Don't you nobles want to invest? No problem. As long as you join the Mutual Chamber of Commerce, you can invest as much as you want.
