People in Terra, governing a weird little country

If he had this intention, would his relationship with Enya have become so strained?

To put it bluntly, with Enthiotis's personality, in Ernst's previous life, no one would call him to go to the bathroom during break in high school!

He stayed in Casimir, wearing leather pants over cotton pants, there must be a reason. Ernst thought about it and decided that the most likely person that Enthiotis would have direct contact with was the Business Federation.

The Supervisory Council had high standards, and they would not say a word to Enchiodis when Ernst was present. Only the Business Federation might have a "friendly exchange" with Enchiodis for various purposes.

Needless to say, what Enchiodis can learn from the Chamber of Commerce.

Try to transplant the successful strategies of foreign companies, learn the outstanding experience of the Chamber of Commerce, understand the weaknesses of the old forces of Casimir headed by the Supervisory Council, grasp the key pain points of the problem, and continue to explore new areas with all your strength, and finally realize the great ideal of Kalan trade.

Ernst guessed that was what he thought.

So when Latatos came, he reminded her.

It doesn't matter whether he guessed it right or not. Anyway, if Enciodis doesn't do it, he will do it. Enciodis refused to accept the position of Minister of Commerce. Ernst couldn't let Hinterea take charge all the time. After all, she wasn't good at this. She was good at posing, saying a few words, and endorsing mineral water. If she did something high-end, her talent would be a little stretched.

Moreover, even when it comes to endorsing mineral water, there are some issues with what she did.

When Kalan Trade was collecting advertising slogans publicly, Ernst casually submitted a few well-known advertising slogans. As a result, it was unknown which little genius in their company was so talented that Kalan Trade picked up a trick and chose the advertising slogan "Holy Mountain Mineral Water, I have been drinking it since I was a child!" for Xinteleiya.

I don’t know whether sales have increased or not, but the advertisement is definitely not convincing.

After shooting the commercial, Hinterea's face was as dark as the weather in Syracuse.

Putting aside Enthiotis, Latatos was Ernst's preferred first Minister of Commerce.

Young, receptive, optimistic about openness, willing to learn, and much more obedient than Enthiotis, she would not go against him for no reason. Moreover, the family she led had been doing business in Kjerag for generations, although most of them were handicraft workshops that sold clothes, furs, and animal products. But the business lines and reputation they established were very valuable.

Where can you find someone who has his own channels?

Let Enciodis out, I never felt happy forming a government with him! Latatos, this way!

"The Minister of Commerce?"

After receiving the offer from Ernst, Latatos's face showed some excitement.

She wanted to agree immediately, but she hesitated:

"If I agree, does it mean that Brown Tao Home Textiles will be handed over to... Hugh Ruth to run?"

Ernst was silent.

It’s not that he was dissatisfied with Latatos’s hesitation, but he also felt that this seemed to be a problem.

Hiss, can we really rest assured to leave Brown Tao Home Textiles to that silly girl?

"What about Yucatan?" Ernst asked.

Unlike Latatos, the head of the family who has always been single, the younger Xu Lu got married early and lived with her childhood sweetheart Yucatan.

Ernst found this situation incredible. After all, in a way, childhood sweethearts are the most difficult to end up together. Because they are too familiar with each other, they will directly skip the most anticipated and sweetest part of the relationship.

Without this link, childhood sweethearts often feel that - ah, it seems that getting married or not doesn't make any difference, haven't we always lived like this? And then they fall for the novelty brought by other people.

This is exactly why Qingmei can't defeat Tianjiang.

But Hugh Ruth, well…she’s peculiar.

Ernst didn't know how to evaluate her. Maybe she was indeed too simple, so she could always bring freshness to people from strange places.

It may sound disrespectful, but Hugh Ruth can come up with a new way of being stupid every day.

Boy, you always come up with something new for me (Chu Yunfei's face).

In the current Brontao family, although the nominal second person is Hugh Ruth, she has never been involved in things, and most of the second-in-command's work is done by Yucatan. The hardworking Zarak man, when Ernst saw him last time, felt that his face was thinner and his spirit was weak. He didn't know what kind of torture he had suffered.

The pressure is still too great.

Therefore, he probably wouldn't care even if Ernst put more pressure on him!

Right?

"Yucatan he.....uh.....he's sick."

"sick?"

Ernst put down his coffee cup in surprise.

"It just so happens that Rhodes Island is also in Shelagh now. Their medical level is quite reliable. Can I help him make an appointment?"

"No....No, it's just a minor illness."

Latatos waved her hands quickly. Let the people from Rhodes Island check Yucatan? This is absolutely impossible!

What if some disease is really found?

Seeing this, Latatos no longer hid her feelings. Her face turned slightly red, and she stiffened her neck as she tentatively expressed her true thoughts:

"Well, actually, Ernst, I was wondering, is it possible for Brown Tao Home Textiles to be managed directly by you and me?"

Ernst blinked and nodded in surprise. He looked Latatos up and down. He nodded unexpectedly generously until Latatos felt a little embarrassed and wanted to withdraw her words.

"Yes! Of course!"

"I didn't realize, Latatos, that you could actually think of this?"

Latatos: “Huh?”

“It’s a state-owned enterprise.”

Ernst nodded in admiration towards Latatos. Isn't this what it means for him and Latatos to manage together?

Why did he look at Latatos in such surprise just now? Wasn't it because Latatos's words mentioned a concept that he had always wanted to explore but never had the time or the opportunity to do so?

State-owned enterprises, as the name implies, are owned or controlled by the state, and the government's will and interests determine the behavior of state-owned enterprises. In Ernst's previous life, state-owned enterprises were the backbone of national economic development, controlling the economic lifeline and industries of great strategic significance.

But in Kjerag, because of Enthiodis's undoubted first-mover advantage, Kalan Trade now controls many important industries related to the national economy and people's livelihood. Apart from anything else, the ownership of the first railway entering Kjerag is in the hands of Kalan Trade.

Ernst was not particularly worried that Enthiotis would make a fuss about this. He understood Enthiotis, and Enthiotis understood him. The two of them competed but did not fight. They would not resort to despicable means in such a place that would restrict Kjerag's development and endanger Kjerag's future.

But relying on Ensiodis all the time is not a solution. Ernst invested in the construction of the subsequent ring railway in Kjerag, the connecting railway between the main urban areas of the three families' territories, and the scenic route to the Silver Heart Lake Scenic Area under the name of the Kjerag government and led the three families to build them together, and did not hand them over to Kalan Trade.

But it still lacks a title.

The government is not profitable, and Ernst cannot set up a railway commissioner in the government to collect fees and maintain the railway. Currently, the railway maintenance work is basically done part-time by Lola's engineering department. Kalan Trade is also semi-state-owned. If Ernst abdicated now and let Enthiodis take over, he would probably be able to nationalize Kalan Trade immediately. Unfortunately, Ernst has not yet reached the time to release power.

There are still many ambitions that have not been realized and many plans that have not been implemented. He cannot leave power yet, and it is not the time for power to leave him yet.

It seems that it is time to develop state-owned enterprises. Brown Tao Home Textiles can be used as a starting point. The textile industry is one of the pillar industries in Kjerag. Fur, furs, scarves and gloves produced in Kjerag are now very popular in various countries. Brown Tao Home Textiles should also get rid of the single channel of Kalan Trade and open up a broader world!

In the past, he was embarrassed to say such things, because after all, Brantau Home Textiles was the company he promised to Latatos to allow the Brantau family to regain its footing in Kjerag's capital. It was a private enterprise that paid taxes well, and Ernst had no urgent need to nationalize it. If necessary, he could set up one himself.

But now, since Latatos is so conscious and took the initiative to propose this advanced idea, Ernst is of course willing to be the guide!

Latatos opened her mouth wide, looking at Ernst with a bewildered look. Listening to Snow Leopard's explanation, a grand blueprint seemed to unfold before her.

Unfortunately, the content of this blueprint was a little different from what she had imagined.

"Ernst,"

She spoke softly, interrupting Ernst's words.

"You should know that I built a statue in front of the new factory of Brown Tao Home Textiles, right?"

Ernst was stunned for a moment, then shook his head:

"Sorry, I just got back. What happened to the statue?"

Latatos smiled with relief and said bluntly:

"I have erected a statue of you and me, standing side by side."

"I'll take you to see it if I have the chance."

After saying this, without waiting for Ernst's reaction, or rather, being somewhat afraid to see any reaction from Ernst and any possibilities behind that reaction, Latatos stood up and nodded to Ernst:

"I will go back and discuss the state-owned enterprise issue. But don't worry, my word is final in the Brown Tao family, and no one will object to the decision I make."

"Well, I'll take my leave now. Come to our house for dinner when you have time. Hulus and Yucatan miss you too."

"Goodbye."

Latatos left the office quickly. Ernst sat in his office chair, stunned for a while, then picked up the coffee and took a sip.

You know what, although this coffee is bitter, it seems a little sweet?

[Ernst?]

A majestic voice suddenly sounded in his mind. Ernst didn't have time to taste the coffee, so he immediately put down the cup and replied:

"Lord Yelagund? What's wrong?"

【Come to Manzhuyuan. 】

[The giant beast of Yan Country is looking for you. ]

The giant beast from Yan Country? Has the person sent by the Grand Master arrived?

Tsk, Kjerag's intelligence system needs to be upgraded. How come he only found out about this now?

Unfortunately, it is difficult to find talents in this field. You can't borrow two gray hats from the Duke of Caster, right?

Ernst was still thinking about this, and he put on his coat hanging on the coat rack while replying:

"Okay! We'll be there soon!"

Chapter 474: The White Jade Capital in Heaven, Twelve Towers and Five Cities (Part 2)

Kjerag, Holy Mountain of Kalan, Manju Monastery.

In ancient times, there was a temple dedicated to Master Lin on the Fengxue Mountain, and today there is the Ernst cable car that leads to the holy mountain.

It must be said that it was a bold decision to build a mountain cable car on the southern square of Manju Monastery, the holy mountain of Kjerag, the holy place of Yelagundism.

To some extent, this can be said to be a great challenge to the tradition of Kjerag. After all, the Hymn to Yelagund says: On the way to Manju Monastery to worship Yelagund, believers enjoy the baptism and sublimation of God and spirit brought by piety, but also face the test of wind, snow and cold.

And if there is a cable car line that can bypass the steep mountain roads, avoid the cold wind and snow, and directly reach the gate of the holy land of Manzhuyuan, then over time, apart from those extreme enthusiasts, who would be willing to risk their lives to challenge the cold wind of Kjerag?

Ernst had also considered this issue. The cable car must be built, and several confidential places in the Manzhuyuan complex, such as the Saint's Hall and the Holy Record Hall, can be closed, but places like the main hall where the Yelagund statue and the sacred stone are stored, the meeting hall where the three tribes' meeting was held, etc., should be opened in the future and should also become good tourist attractions.

There is nothing respectful or disrespectful about this. The holy city of Vatican is still open to the public and sells blessed souvenirs. If Manzhuyuan doesn't do the same, does it have to keep relying on Ernst's subsidies?

Enya would definitely not be happy about this. As the elder sister, it would be fine if she couldn't give her younger brother much help, but how could she hold him back?

But the problem is that neither Ernst's cable car plan nor Enya's determination has been implemented yet.

But now, a functioning cable car line is right in front of Ernst. The cable car cabin is parked at the foot of the mountain with the door open, as if welcoming Ernst's arrival.

"Is this also...the ability of the giant beast?"

"Come up quickly, what are you looking at?"

A call came from the cable car cabin. Ernst looked over and saw a "dragon?" with beautiful white hair and red horns, waving her arms wrapped with magical patterns, greeting Ernst.

Ernst had never seen this person before, but Yelagund did not issue a warning. Combined with the sudden appearance of the cable car, could she be one of the behemoths sent by the Yan Country?

"Let me guess, you're thinking, 'You're the Sui Pian from Yan Country', right?"

The lively and fiery white-haired girl grinned at Ernst and introduced herself in a carefree manner:

"That's right, I'm [Nian]! Prime Minister Ernst, I've heard of your great name for a long time~"

Ernst was stunned for a moment. The familiar accent brought back some distant memories. He asked curiously:

"Sichuan girl... ahem, are you from Shu?"

“[Sui Pian] has no regional distinction, but I do prefer the taste of Shang Shu.”

Nian sat down beside Ernst without any hesitation, and teasingly nudged Ernst's arm with his elbow.

"I've been feeling pretty fading in Kjerag these past few days! Don't you have anything more exciting here?"

this......

Ernst smiled awkwardly.

In fact, he understood Nian's feelings. He also couldn't get used to Shelag's food at first, but after so many years, he got used to it. After getting used to it, it tasted pretty good.

After all, Kjerag's dishes all use real ingredients. If you go to any restaurant in Tukarim's business district and they dare to use feathered beast meat to impersonate pack animal meat, the Perlochi family will come to the restaurant the next day to tell them the truth.

The Perlochi family occupies the largest plain and lake area in Kjerag, and is also the largest base for breeding pack animals. Brother Xiong doesn't do those fake tricks, nor does he allow his subordinates to do those fake tricks.

Of course, if you are confident that you can fool Brother Bear, you can do it. But you have to pray that you will never be discovered by Brother Bear, otherwise Brother Bear will beat you for the rest of your life.

However, after such a long time, it was rare for Ernst to hear a dialect with a strong Sichuan accent, and he still felt a little excited and cordial.
