People in Terra, governing a weird little country

Along with the experience of playing chess, he also missed out on most of half a year’s salary and research funding.

Enthiotis allocated the money to other research laboratories, and subsidized several research projects in other fields that were forced to stagnate due to the high expenses of his laboratory. He also established a new fireworks laboratory, which made Nosis confused and angry.

Thanks to his perfect state, he still maintained a clear and unadulterated confidence:

"Bump, bump! If you don't dare to do it, I'll do it for you! It just so happens that the Duke of Windermere is coming this time. I'll go and win their support! Expand the business of Kalan Trade to the Duke of Windermere!"

Enthiotis looked at him with a smile but no words.

The meaning is very clear - you are already a mature gambler. How dare you still gamble after losing so many times?

Nosis became anxious when he saw this look. Enciodis could question his fighting power, but he could never question his ability. Are you sure that I will lose?

Seeing Nosis's expression of "I don't believe it, I'm going to give it a try", Enciodis could only sigh and give a reasonable reminder:

"Just a reminder, I don't recommend you to continue to gamble with your research funds. After all, if you lose again, you will have to lose all this year's funds. Kalan Trade still needs your research. If you stop for a year, it will not be good for me."

Nosis gritted his teeth.

You underestimate me, don't you? Enchiodis, you disappoint me!

I'll win for you to see!

The red eyes were no longer just a special effect. Nosis waved his hand, slammed it hard on the table, and said loudly:

"Enchiodis, don't worry. If I lose, I will voluntarily withdraw from the board of directors, resign as CTO, and give up all my shares. I will do the research at my own expense and work for you for free!"

Enchiodis was stunned for a moment, looked at the mace, and gave an embarrassed warning:

"Nosis, do you want to think about it again? There's really no need to make this bet. I haven't beaten Ernst many times anyway. You're already very good."

The corner of Nohis' mouth twitched, and he said firmly: "No, that's it, I, Nohis Edwiss, will keep my word! I will go to the Duke of Windermere now!"

As he spoke, before he could turn around, there was a knock on the door of Enchiodis' office. The voice of Jiaofeng rang out:

"Master, Master Ernst is here to see you!"

Enthiotis and Nothis looked at each other, and finally gave each other an admonishing look, but Nothis turned his head away and ignored Enthiotis's kindness at all.

Enthiotis could only sigh and shrug.

What can be done? It is hard to persuade the damned Liberi.

"Please let him in." said Enchiodis.

Jiaofeng opened the door, and Ernst walked into the room with a red face, and began with the words:

"My dear brother, I have great news for you and Kalan Trade! Would you like to hear it?"

"As long as you pay a small price for Kalan Trade, the market of the Dukedom of Windermere will be opened to you. Not only that, there are also tariff-free policies, government preferential treatment, green channels and other benefits that you can't buy at all!"

Enthiotis's calm expression twitched extremely quickly, so fast that Ernst thought he was dazzled.

He asked, "Is there such a good thing? Then I wonder what exactly this small condition that my dear brother is talking about is referring to?"

"It's very simple." Ernst raised a finger and said, "Just let me or my agent become one of the shareholders of Kalan Trading and join the decision-making level of the board of directors."

Enchiodis finally stopped talking. He kept looking at Nosis Edwards, who was standing with his back to him and trembling slightly. The corners of his mouth were raised beyond the range allowed by etiquette, and he answered intermittently with an uncontrollable laugh:

"Hey, isn't this... a coincidence?"

Chapter 100: Latatos, you don’t want the Brown Tao family to be swept into the garbage dump, do you?

"I'm serious, Enchiodis, you can't do this, you can't do this!"

After happily seeing Ernst off, Enthiotis turned around and heard Nosis's complaints.

Well...the word "complain" may not be the right word. To be more precise, it should be "begging".

After all, he had just experienced a transformation from a senior decision-maker in the company to an ordinary worker, and the psychological gap might indeed be a bit large.

But Enchiodis was still reasonable: "Don't worry, Nosis, I told you that Kalan Trade still needs your research. So you can rest assured that I won't really not give you a penny."

"Although you are no longer the CTO, you can still contribute to our company as an employee of Kalan Trading. I will still pay you your salary and benefits."

According to the level of normal researchers.

Enchiodis added silently in his heart.

However, the only thing that made him curious was who would be the "agent" that Ernst would send to trade with Kalan?

As far as he knew, few of Ernst's men had business acumen. He didn't quite understand Holhaiya, but she was Ernst's secretary, a busy enough position, and Ernst was unlikely to let him serve as a trade representative in Kalan.

So who could this person be?

Ernst was also thinking about this problem.

But her thinking was broader than Enthiotis had expected.

Instead of returning to the office directly, he chose to let the butler and driver take him to the territory of the Brown Tao family and find Latatos.

"So, you plan to let me go to Enchiodis's company and be your agent?"

Latatos stared at Ernst's face in disbelief, as if she was on guard against him suddenly splitting into three pieces and setting a trap for her.

In fact, being a director in Enchiodis's company is much more thrilling than being set up by Ernst.

At least in the latter case, even if she was cheated, it wouldn't be too much of a loss.

"Are you kidding me? Would Enthiotis agree to such a thing?"

Latatos asked in disbelief, causing Xu Lu, who had no interest in such serious matters, to come over.

Ernst nodded and replied, "He agreed."

Latatos: "I told you that it's impossible for him to do that... Huh? He would agree to something like this? You didn't pretend to be your brother and issue the order, did you?"

Ernst rolled his eyes at him.

My brother Enthiotis is a big, burly man, and compared to his double-door refrigerator-sized body, I feel a little overconfident.

Ernst is a snow leopard who fits the image of a civil official. He is one of the few snow leopards who doesn't smile with his teeth bared. His body is just well-proportioned, not strong.

Of course, this is only relative. Living in a place like Kjerag, good health can be guaranteed.

The unhealthy ones died.

Seeing that Ernst had no intention of teasing her, Latatos pursed her lips and said seriously:

"why me?"

Because I have no one else under my command.

It was impossible for Ernst to tell Latatos such a big truth.

There was a reason why he thought of Latatos first, something that even Enthyotis didn't expect.

"Latatos, don't you feel unwilling?"

He did not directly answer the question of the squirrel, but asked in return,

"Kjerag is changing so fast now, so fast that some people haven't had time to prepare before it's time to leave. Don't you feel regretful?"

Latatos lowered her eyelids, and her hands hidden under the woolen shawl had clenched into a fist without her noticing.

Yeah, Kjerag was moving a little too fast.

No one knew when, but the three major families and Manzhuyuan, which had been performing on the stage for thousands of years, quietly came to the end of their performance.

Ever since Enthiotis opened Tukarim and Kjerag's door to foreign exchanges, there have been more voices discussing the Kalan trade than those discussing the Shivaash family.

Since the Holy Stone Trial, the discussion about the Saint Lady and the new Saint Son has far outweighed the discussion about Manzhu Court.

Since Enya suddenly made an exception and had that extra "prayer" with Ernst at the Harvest Festival, and after getting Yelagund's tacit approval, the voices discussing the three major families in Kjerag have gradually been replaced by the new Kjerag government.

When the Bruntos and Perlochis forced Enthiodis to give up his dictatorship and establish the Kjerag government, they never imagined that they would be facing such a predicament today.

And this change is even difficult to reverse.

Even if Ernst was overthrown, the Kjerag government was abolished, and the Kalan trade was completely defeated, people would no longer look devoutly at the three ancient families.

Because a kind of knowledge, a kind of thought, a kind of trend of thought has already planted the seeds, and this cannot be killed.

After the French Revolution, no matter how many times the monarchy was restored, how many people were massacred in counterattacks, and how many rebellions were bloodily suppressed, people have already known that they can revolt against the king!

The vested interest groups represented by the three major families are destined to be unhappy.

The feeling of losing power is not pleasant. Although Ernst has not touched the fundamental interests of the Blantao family and the Perlochi family, that is, the actual management rights of their respective family territories, so he will not face too much backlash, but this is just his method of boiling the frog in warm water.

This day was bound to come, and so was resistance; it could only be weakened, not eradicated.

What Ernst had to do was to weaken the opposition as much as possible, for example, by bringing Latatos, the enlightened and capable leader of the Brown Tao family, into his own camp.

To appeal to their emotions, to mobilize their strength, to persuade them of benefits, to divide the enemy, and finally to annihilate the few stubborn reactionaries, this is the ancient Chinese wisdom.

"Latatos, I want to give you a chance, and also give the Blantao family a chance."

"On the eve of Kjerag's transformation, you were one of the people who opened your eyes to the world. You just opened your eyes a little later than Enthiotis, so you missed the first wave of opportunities."

“But Kjerag wouldn’t have just one Kerran Trade, would he?”

Ernst looked at her and smiled.

"As my representative, enter Enchiotis' company. Your understanding of Enchiotis is no less than mine, and your concept and skills of checks and balances are enough to gain my recognition and Enchiotis's attention. With you in it, I can rest assured that my vision will not be blinded. Enchiotis will not try to use those cheap tricks. And you..."

Ernst paused and said,

"You will be given a unique position and opportunity in Kjerag to practice your talent and wisdom, and prove that Latatos of the Bruntao family is no weaker than Enchiodis. You will also be able to gain invaluable experience. This experience is related to the future transformation of the Bruntao family."

From a feudal agricultural landlord to a capitalist family in the modern sense.

Ernst made the conditions and then returned to silence.

He waited quietly for Latatos's answer.

It has to be said that the word "future" really has some kind of miraculous magic. That is why countless big bosses and leaders are happy to mention it as the absolute core word of PUA.

Latatos knew well that there was something mysterious in Ernst's words.

Position, opportunity, practice talent, exert wisdom, prove yourself. Finally, draw a big picture to describe the bright future of the Brown Tao family opening a "Kalan Trade" of their own.

After all, the things that are never mentioned are compensation and treatment.

Wow, an old PUA master!

But what can we do even if we know that this is PUA?

Just as Ernst said, the position of the decision-making level of the Kalan Trade Board of Directors is unique! If Enxioudis had not had a brain seizure, he would never let the appointment and removal power of this position fall into Ernst's hands.

As for Sherag, there is only one large company, Kalan Trading, at least for now.

People who start a business with nothing in the dark, no experience, no channels, and no connections, let alone in Terra, even in Ernst's previous life, the new era that encouraged everyone to start their own business, are like fish flapping in a fish tank, looking like they have some skills, but they are gone in a few minutes after they jump out.

This is also the reason why Ernst is unwilling to start his own company - everyone has their own strengths. It's because the cadres in the previous life couldn't do business, so there is nothing he can do after traveling through time.

Latatos might have chosen to refuse, but Ernst had grasped her true mentality - Ms. Zalak had always been a person who would not admit defeat, and she was much more determined to fight than she seemed.

In that case, Ms. Latatos, you don’t want the Brown Tao family to be swept into the dustbin of history in the future, do you?

What else could Latatos do?

She can only be PUA obediently!

After taking a long breath and finally making up her mind, Latatos raised her head and looked at Ernst with her brown eyes, as if some kind of flame had ignited:

"Leave it to me, I can do everything!"

Chapter 101: Duke of Caister, please put on your clown mask

In 1094, Kjerag was still a small and insignificant kingdom.

But Victoria in 1094 was still a behemoth who looked down upon Terra.

After finally deciding to wipe out the last obstacle in the city of Londinium, the Steam Knights, the nobles of Victoria began to gradually understand and appreciate the convenience of the Sarkaz.

A mercenary army with low funds but strong combat capabilities, although lacking in discipline, but very efficient in completing tasks, is simply the most effective weapon for the Grand Dukes of Victoria.

Not only did they think so, but the noble members of the Londinium City Council also thought so.

There is a small deviation here that is easy to be misunderstood, that is, the noble members of the Londinium City Council are not actually completely controlled by the Grand Dukes.

Rather, in their minds, it is not the Grand Duke who controls them, but they who influence and control the Grand Dukes.
