Quadruple split

Game time AM06:19

Night-free area, 3rd floor, No. 16 Bella Street [Imelda Chamber of Commerce]

Ms. Imelda, who had not slept all night, was sitting at the table with her fingers crossed. At first glance, she looked as oppressive as Commander Ikari, who gained weight in his later years and transformed after being bitten by a toad.

She was waiting for news, bad news that she didn't know would come.

This sounds ridiculous at first glance, but there is some rationality that is not humane to outsiders.

Ms. Imeldai is a successful businessman, even a very successful businessman. The existence of the [Imeldai] Chamber of Commerce itself is the best proof of this.

First of all, we must admit that the scale of this chamber of commerce is not large. Although it is involved in a wide range of businesses and has a lot of monthly turnover, compared with most large chambers of commerce that can gain a foothold in the Free City, [Imelda] is absolutely It's a third-rate among the third-rate, the kind that can't be used at all.

[Imelda] The Chamber of Commerce is unique in one thing - it is the first generation chamber of commerce.

The meaning of the first generation means that this chamber of commerce has not experienced changes, inheritance, etc., and started from scratch without any foundation. The founder not only did not abdicate but even continued to fight on the front line.

In the World of Innocence, this is a period that every chamber of commerce has experienced, and it also represents the most difficult and darkest period for most chambers of commerce.

The reason is very simple and easy to understand. Because it is the first generation, it does not have enough foundation, enough connections, enough credibility, enough funds, and enough experience.

And these things that the first generation lacked happened to be the basic elements for a chamber of commerce to become bigger and stronger.

Therefore, for the vast majority of businessmen, the first generation, and even the following generations, are a process of dormancy and accumulation. They are satisfied if they can maintain a balance of income and expenditure or make a small amount of money, and they have no ambitions at all. s things.

Fairly Graham was able to play such a big game, and Mo Tan was ready to take over the soda business. Apart from the fact that she was indeed very courageous and courageous, the more important thing was that she had the capital in her hands.

It is true that Saint Wealth has already had many businesses that have left the Church of Wealth, and there are also many properties that she is only responsible for herself, but the premise of all this is the help provided by the church when Her Highness first started doing business.

These help are the accumulation and precipitation of the Wealth Church over thousands of years. They are the channels and resources that others dream of, and the big bosses that others may not be able to see once after working hard all their lives. For Feiyali back then, it was just a random choice and inappropriate. Still have to change.

This is accumulation!

This accumulation, coupled with Fiyali's own talents, has created the increasingly unfathomable Holy Lady, making her even if she is no longer attached to the Church of Wealth, enough to be treated with caution and not to be underestimated.

But this Lady Imelda is different. She started from scratch and built up her current business step by step, even though the current [Imelda Chamber of Commerce] is far inferior to anything in the hands of Her Royal Highness the Saint. Industry, but she does not have the support of the Wealth Sect.

To be honest, if Fiyali was put in Imelda's position, she...

Well, she might also do something big. This is the difference between ordinary people and monsters.

All in all, after studying the development history of Mrs. Imelda and the [Imelda Chamber of Commerce] for more than forty years, Mo Tan came to the conclusion very easily, that is, this person who was charming and charming back then was like a vixen possessed, but now she is full of The lady with a face that looks like a toad spirit is a very bold and cautious speculator.

She is said to be cautious because Ms. Imelda's business style is extremely cautious and her risk management and control is almost meticulous to the point of madness. In other words, she will never be unsure in some ordinary or long-term business. In a battle, no matter how many immediate benefits there are, as long as there is just a little more risk, you will choose to give up without hesitation.

She is bold because when certain conditions come together, Imelda will immediately change her usual cautious style and throw down all her chips in a bankrupt manner, just like a red-eyed gambler.

What interests Mo Tan is that from her twenties to sixty-nine, Imelda gambled a total of seven times, and the probability of winning in these seven gambles was surprisingly 100%!

The fundamental reason why [Imelda Chamber of Commerce] can develop to the scale it is today is because of those seven gambles that all resulted in victory.

He has played seven life-or-death games in more than forty years and won every time. This may not seem like a big deal, but after careful consideration, it is enough to attract Mo Tan's attention.

Although these so-called 'life and death games' are not large in scale from an objective point of view. For example, Imelda's first big gamble only brought her an income of less than one thousand gold coins, but for the parties involved, it has already It’s all without reservation.

Even if the bet wins, the huge sum of money that Imeldai pays may not be worth mentioning in the eyes of others. If the bet loses, she will lose everything in an instant.

In the end, she had the last laugh. Even if she didn't have the last laugh, at least she had the last laugh.

This aroused Mo Tan's curiosity, so he mobilized various forces to conduct an extremely detailed investigation of the [Imelda Chamber of Commerce] and Mrs. Imelda, and came to an interesting conclusion——

As a businessman, she is excellent, but only excellent.

But as a speculator, Imelda is a complete genius. She seems to be born with knowing which risks should be taken and which risks should not be taken. Whenever she is about to make a big gamble, she will make a decision based on her cautious character. All factors are calculated to the limit, and in the eyes of others, this kind of thing is completely the behavior of a mediocre person.

In the eyes of many people, the real speculative geniuses are those with strong luck, keen sense of smell, and solid foundation. Their unreasonable intuition and ability to turn things around are the most perfect interpretation of the word "brilliant".

Those who continue to collect evidence, analyze, investigate, test, and evaluate actually have little status in the eyes of mainstream speculators. The reason is that in the eyes of others, this level of work can be done by just one person. The difference between the former is like 'getting perfect scores in the weekly elementary school test' and 'getting a medal in the International Mathematical Olympiad'. Just comparing them is ridiculous enough.

But what if there is a person who has countless characteristics including luck, intuition, acumen, etc., but is obsessed with calculating basic factors?

‘Then her speculative price-performance ratio among the middle and lower classes will be raised to an extremely terrifying level. ’

This is what Mo Tan said about Mrs. Imelda.

While coming to this conclusion, Mo Tan also said this - 'I really want to get this interesting woman~'

As a result, Mrs. Imelda, who was only noticed by Mo Tan because she was entrenched in Bella Street, turned into an "interesting woman" without even knowing it, and returned to the Free City with Mo Tan. received special attention that night.

For example, certain signals and hints that kept her up all night.

And...a misleading that is so logical and outrageous.

"President!"

One of the orphans adopted by Imelda when she was young, a dwarf man with a beard long enough to mop the floor, rushed in and said in a voice: "Oh no, something big has happened!"

"explain."

Imeldai, who didn't show any surprise, just twitched her lips. This seemingly indifferent attitude immediately gave Ah Qi great confidence.

"Yes, President."

The dwarf man walked quickly to Imelda's side, handed two pieces of parchment with scrawled writing to the latter, and said in a deep voice: "Just an hour ago, we were supposed to transport two hundred boxes of [Thunder Roost] to the west. , three tons of [Star Gold], and a thousand sets of [Intermediate Enchantment Scrolls] were seized, just..."

"Dentis Territory of the Violet Empire."

Imelda, who lowered her eyes and glanced at the two parchments in her hand, interrupted Ah Qi lightly. After the latter fell silent, she read the two reports that were rushed to her hands several times, revealing a picture full of Wrinkled smile: "I didn't expect it... Although I had already anticipated the possibility of something happening, I didn't expect that it was not the branch from the Principality of Scaran, but the cargo that just left here at noon the day before yesterday. This is really... strange It’s scary.”

The pale Ah Qi swallowed hard and asked dryly: "President... what... what on earth is this..."

"A punishment...or a warning."

Imelda put down the report in her hand and sighed helplessly: "You should remember that I met with a woman who claimed to be a senior advisor to the Kevos family last night, and she proposed a deal to me. I refused."

Ah Qi was stunned for a moment and asked quickly: "What kind of deal? Does it have anything to do with the seizure of our goods?!"

"Theoretically it should be okay, but if I really think it's okay, I'd be a fool."

Imelda stood up and dragged her bloated body back and forth in front of the lounge chair. As she walked, she said lightly: "The content of the deal is that they will let us stay in the Principality of Skalan in the middle of the continent and An in the northwest continent. Kaji Market and the southern part of the Silver Wing Alliance in the Southwest Continent will pay 20% less tax. The specific number is about 30, of which there are nearly 10 heavy taxes including tariffs. In addition, they are also willing to give us a panoramic ship. The three-year right to use the medium-sized cargo ship in the dwarf business circle, the Southwest Passage, passing through the capital of the Silver Wing Alliance, the capital of the Griffin Dynasty, the Chauvin Empire and the Palmyra Free Trade Zone."

"What!?"

Ah Qi, who is a senior member of the Chamber of Commerce, actually sat down on the ground with his legs weak after hearing this, and asked with wide eyes: "They are willing to give such conditions, what on earth do they want us to do?!"

Obviously, Ah Qi, who is relatively knowledgeable, has already seen the problem, that is, the opponent's bargaining chip is too rich, so thick that it makes people tremble when they hear it. Not only can they not have any desire at all, but they are even a little scared. Feel.

Needless to say, he's on the first level.

“They asked me to apply to join the Bella Street Council this afternoon through Leisha Keyworth.”

Imelda turned her head and glanced, then added: "And... there is no chance of cooperation in the future?"

Ah Qi, who was already confused, looked even more confused and said in shock: "No more?"

"Gone."

Imelda nodded and then asked: "What do you think?"

"I think you are crazy!"

Because she always thought that Imelda was her mother, Ah Qi did not hesitate to speak. She shouted loudly: "Doesn't this mean giving us money for free? All 30 kinds of taxes have been cut by 20%, including There are big companies like the Silver Wing Alliance and Anka Market, but the only condition is that you agree to allow Kaivos to join the street committee and have the opportunity to cooperate. This is a great thing!"

"not necessarily."

After listening to Ah Qi's speech on the first floor, Imelda shook her head in disappointment: "You are too naive."

"Ah? Are they lying to us? That's right. The Kaivos family may not be as powerful as us. How could they do that..."

"No, I think that Catherine yesterday was most likely telling the truth."

"Huh? Then why don't you agree?!"

"Of course it's because the other party's request is too much."

"What's too much? We joined the street committee before, weren't we just seeking peace? That Kaivos didn't let us withdraw, I don't see what's wrong..."

"That's too low."

"Well?"

"There is never free food in this world. If there is, it is most likely to be poisonous."

Imelda sat back on the recliner and said quietly: "You don't really think that this kind of conditions can only be obtained by the Blood Wings, a third-rate force even though they have annexed the Blood Wings, right? Haha. , Now that I think about it, it is a very outrageous thing that such a weak Kaivos family can disintegrate the Bloodwing family overnight."

Ah Qi's brain was a bit unable to keep up, so he simply stopped asking. After all, this dear man knew very well that the president in front of him, who was almost like his own mother, was not so much explaining to himself as I am using this conversation to organize my thoughts.

"Think about it carefully, what kind of force can give face to Anka Bazaar, the Principality of Scaran and the Silver Wing Alliance at the same time."

Imelda gently rubbed the lines on her forehead and sneered: "Do you really think they want me, a small street committee member, to agree to some bullshit application? Nonsense, what they want is our entire life. Chamber of Commerce!"

Ah Qi, who was barely keeping up with the opponent's rhythm, was sweating at that moment, and said in shock: "Our entire chamber of commerce!?"

"Yes, if we accept their conditions, we will never turn a blind eye to those pieces of cake with extremely low tax points, but we don't have the right channels to operate."

Imelda let out a long breath and gritted her teeth and said: "And when the time comes, the other party who has obtained our promise of 'cooperation' will be able to naturally take over the key projects of the Chamber of Commerce for at least the next ten years!"

"real or fake……"

"Before you sent these two scraps of paper, it might have been fake, but now... I'm sure it's true!"

"Well!"

"It doesn't matter if I can just give face to the three parties mentioned just now, they actually have such great influence in the Violet Empire!"
