how should I do it?
Miss Platinum fell into deep thought.
……
The tail was dried and Miss Platinum went back to bed to sleep, but her mind was already open and there was no reason to stop easily.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
She looked at the dark ceiling, wondering why normal emotions would gradually turn into physical attraction.
Where did it all start?
sound.
She thought of an answer.
She always thought that Miss White Wolf had a nice voice, but it sounded best not when she was talking, but when she murmured when she woke up, or when she stretched.
The voice at that time revealed a natural charm. It was called charm, but it was as clear as mountain spring water.
Whenever she heard that kind of voice, she would be inexplicably excited, and a feeling of intimacy would arise spontaneously, and she would want to hug the other person.
Her thoughts suddenly changed, and Miss Platinum's evil mind suddenly became active. She thought about what she would do in the future.
She had experienced that feeling before. Although she always clenched her teeth and kept silent, she knew what the result of that experience would most likely be. If she could guide Miss White Wolf a little and make her relax...
She suddenly felt that she was terrible.
Miss White Wolf shouldn't have known her.
Chapter 2023: Changes 01-12-12 00:02:
Miss White Wolf put down the documents in her hand, slumped down on the chair with a look of despair, and tilted her head to look at the snow outside the window.
She was exhausted these past two days.
She remembered that Bai Jin always complained about his tiring work. Today, she finally understood the meaning of his words. She thought that Bai Jin must be having a hard time in Casimir right now.
After resting for two minutes, Bai Lang picked up the document again and started sketching.
After some fine-tuning, she finally set the time for the Longmen Conference at the end of December, which coincided with the Spring Festival of Yan Country.
This was her little thought. The researchers came from far away and must have been very tired. It happened that after the meeting there was a festival in Yan Country, so everyone could take the opportunity to experience the Yan Country New Year in Longmen and treat it as a trip.
Although this detail is insignificant, Miss White Wolf feels that some wavering people may make a decision just because of this opportunity to have the best of both worlds.
Although my ideas contain a lot of daydreaming elements, it is still good to be able to make the people present feel more favorable about this academic event.
According to the plan after everyone's consultation, the Bingshi delegation will rush to Longmen a week before the meeting, which means they will set off the day after tomorrow morning. After the meeting, everyone will experience the Spring Festival in Longmen, and then go to Xiosta to fulfill the contract on the volcano issue.
After reviewing the last document at hand, it was already noon. Miss White Wolf went to the restaurant to get lunch and ate it alone in the office.
Afterwards, she opened the computer player and wanted to play some music for entertainment, when she suddenly saw the mobile phone lying flat on the table flashing.
She lazily picked up her phone, clicked on the message, and scanned it line by line. A solemn look gradually appeared on her brows.
Bai Lang lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then dialed a number:
"Mr. Mu, get the car ready. Let's go to the Marquis."
"Okay miss, now?"
"Now."
……
In the noble mansion on the outskirts of Koros, Marquis Carolingian sat quietly in a chair, smoking a cigar silently, waiting for Lillian and his subordinates to come.
He threw the newspaper he often read into the corner. On the table were several documents written in black and white, and the words "Commercial Federation" were extremely eye-catching.
At 2:13 pm, Bai Lang and Mr. Mu came to the Marquis's room.
Seeing the two people coming, Caroline first said to Mu: "Mu, do you still remember the channel information of the Commercial Federation that you handled five years ago? Go and help Luo sort out the list."
"As you command, sir."
Mr. Mu left the room. Caroline was about to talk to Lillian when she suddenly noticed that she was sniffing and seemed to be enduring something.
He calmly put the cigar into the glass tray and extinguished it: "Change room?"
"No need, it's not choking at all." Miss White Wolf said indifferently, and walked over to open half of the window.
The Marquis smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid of the cold?"
"Ursus people are never afraid of the cold."
As Miss White Wolf spoke, she skillfully draped the sofa blanket over herself. She seemed to feel that her words and actions were inconsistent, and she paused slightly:
"It's a little cold. Once the smell has dissipated, I'll close the window. This is also for your own good. Tobacco can seriously damage your lungs. It's best not to smoke."
"Where did you hear this?"
"Rhodes Island." Miss White Wolf said seriously, "Rhodes Island's experts all said so."
The Marquis smiled and nodded. Lillian had a special ability to make people relax with just a few words. In fact, they were meeting today to discuss serious matters.
"You saw the message, right? Because the situation is complicated, I didn't tell you everything in the message."
"I understand. You can tell me with confidence. I am mentally prepared."
The Marquis picked up the document on the table and handed it to Bai Lang: "Don't worry, the basic content is all above, take a look first."
Miss White Wolf took the document and began to read it attentively, while Marquis Carolingian silently looked at the lingering sparks in the cigarette tray, wondering what he was thinking about.
The room fell into silence, and the only sound was the rustling of papers being flipped.
"The Chamber of Commerce has blocked all transportation channels?" White Wolf suddenly looked up and asked.
"Ninety percent of the available channels, Longmen was not greatly affected, and Xiosta was almost completely cut off."
“Have your other businesses been affected?”
The Marquis shook his head: "Don't worry about me, the Business Federation is completely targeting Bingshi, you see their reasons."
"Of course." Miss White Wolf exhaled and gritted her teeth. "They said that the products of the Originium Industry may have extremely high risks during transportation. They must go to the Commercial Federation for safety certification to remove the risk control."
This kind of reason made her want to curse. The Chamber of Commerce is just a capital institution. How could it have the ability to certify such a technical product?
What's more, the safety assessment of the Ice Stone Energy Core has been completed by Miss Ayafara and others, and has been jointly approved by the National University's Source Stone College. These are real researchers. Aren't they more reliable than your Chamber of Commerce?
The latter's purpose was too obvious. He asked her to go to the Business Federation to "obtain certification" either to get a piece of the pie or to indirectly control Ice Stone.
"What do you think?" the Marquis asked slowly.
“Certification is impossible, and business associations do not have the right to set standards at will.”
"But they have the ability to control logistics channels. As long as they don't let go, Bingshi's business will be limited to Longmen and a few other places."
"They can only control it for a while. Just relying on Longmen and Bingshi's products can also make a name for themselves. Once the products circulate to a certain extent, their control will weaken on its own."
"Yes, I agree with your idea." The Marquis' thumb gently scratched the back of his hand, "But have you ever thought about how long it would take for Bingshi's products to reach the circulation level you want if you only rely on Longmen?"
"Lillian, the threat of unequal capital competition is that you need to do your best to deal with the other party's random action. Blocking the trade route of Ice Stone has no impact on the Business Federation. They just issued an order under the pretext of security issues, but the development of Ice Stone will be restricted as a result."
Miss White Wolf lowered her head in thought. She had to admit that the Marquis was right. It was a piece of cake for the Chamber of Commerce to deal with the newly started Ice Stone, and it was difficult for her, a rookie, to find a truly effective countermeasure.
She knew that it was difficult for her to solve the problem, and she also knew that the Marquis had much more knowledge and experience in this area than she did, so she asked sincerely:
"What do you think I should do?"
The Marquis pondered and said, "There are many ways, each of which will bring different variables. I can provide ideas, but the decision can only be made by you."
Chapter 2023: Lone Wolf Dies01-13-12 00:02:
Miss White Wolf nodded solemnly, her eyes focused on the Marquis, waiting for his next words.
Carolingian frowned and said in a rare serious tone:
"First, you can choose the method you considered before and gradually dilute the Federation's blockade through the Dragon Gate. But you have to think carefully. During the long period of tolerance, can you guarantee that the Business Federation will not come up with other tricks?"
"You can also choose to deal with the matter at hand. You have connections in the research community, and as long as you put in some effort, there is a high probability that you can dispel the security allegations made by the Business Federation. But you have to think about it. The Federation controls most of the logistics routes behind the scenes. Is it really useful to dispel such allegations?"
"You can choose to compromise and gain development opportunities by temporarily giving up some of your interests. There are many examples in history of people who endured humiliation and finally succeeded. But you also have to think about what your compromise means."
"You can also look for allies. There is a proverb in Syracuse that says, when the snowstorm comes, a lone wolf dies, but a pack of wolves survives. Cooperation seems to be a good way out, but can you find the right collaborator? How can you be sure that you will not be betrayed by your collaborator?"
The Marquis finished speaking and silently looked at Lillian who was thinking with her head down.
His questions were also a test. Based on the solutions chosen by the other party, he would evaluate whether to let Lillian come into contact with things that were more difficult and complicated, but also closer to the essence of things.
Lillian didn't speak for a long time.
The Marquis kept looking at the other person patiently, and as he looked, he suddenly felt sad.
Was I too harsh on Lillian?
She was very young and had no experience at all, but she was so focused on training the other person that she threw all kinds of difficult things at him without caring about them. Then she watched silently as she stumbled, ran around, and tried hard to do everything.
Now, he handed over an even bigger problem - dealing with the Chamber of Commerce, which even he himself needed to be prepared for.
"Lillian." The Marquis tapped the table lightly, "You have another choice. If I come forward, then..."
"No way."
Miss White Wolf frowned and shook her head: "You can't show up. It's far from the right time now."
The Marquis was surprised. He originally thought that Lillian kept silent and lowered her head because she didn't know what to do, but looking at her state, it seemed that was not the case.
Miss White Wolf stood up and closed the window, then turned around and expressed her thoughts seriously:
"You and my father both participated in the war against Casimir. You have special statuses. I am worried that the presence of the war nobles will cause unnecessary complications."
"Of course, since you said you could come forward, I will conclude that you have a way to neutralize the influence of your war noble status. But if that is the case, you should not come forward."
"Because you are too important to be wasted on this kind of issue. The confrontation with the Business Federation may continue for a long time. If you are the backup, you can play a more critical role in the future."
Caroline quietly looked at Lillian who was analyzing the situation, and suddenly thought of his daughter and his military experience many years ago.
That person saved him several times in order to reunite him with his family, but in the end, he still lost everything he cherished and was left with only the empty shell of a marquis who was admired by others.
Fate is always unpredictable.
Many years later, the man's daughter came to him. He thought it was the continuation of the chain of responsibility and accepted it willingly. But in the end, he found that what he accepted was the most precious gift on his way to sunset.
The Marquis's beard curled up and he smiled: "You seem very confident. What are you going to do?"
"I want to try to find allies."
"Why did you choose to find allies?"
"I've thought about it. Ice Stone has to bear the material expenses of the integration movement, so it must develop quickly. It has no time to play a delaying war with the Business Federation. Compromise is even worse. According to the style of the Business Federation, if Ice Stone takes a step back, they will definitely take a step forward, unless you personally come forward."
"But I don't want you to come forward, nor do I want friends in the scientific research community to waste their breath on such nonsense. Doesn't the Commercial Federation control the trade channels? Then we will find a trade company that is not affected by the Federation to intervene. Not only will I hand over the business blocks they have blocked, but I will also hand over the Longmen channels they have opened to others, and completely sever ties with them."
The Marquis narrowed his eyes: "Then you only have one choice."
White Wolf nodded, "I understand. I will go to Kjerag as soon as possible."
The Kalan Trade was a place that White Wolf had paid attention to before. Its roots could be traced back to the trip to Victoria.
At that time, she saw Enchiodis's name on the list of honorary alumni of the National University. Later, Miss Qin Liu told her a lot about Enchiodis's trade with Kalan, which gave her a preliminary understanding of the company.
During the Longmen press conference, when Miss Platinum was recalling the past of the No-Hero Alliance, she mentioned the friction and resentment between the Chamber of Commerce and Kjerag. Since then, she has been thinking about one thing: if she really becomes an enemy of the Chamber of Commerce in the future, Kalan Trade is very likely to become a potential partner.
The Marquis said with some concern: "If it is Kjerag, I can't help you at all. Their leaders have emerged in recent years and have been working closely with Victoria and Columbia, but have little contact with our Ursus merchants."
Miss White Wolf's eyes lit up: "In other words, Kalan's trade lacks an eastern trade route?"
The Marquis was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Lillian, you are very smart. You often tell me what I am thinking, leaving me at a loss for words."
Miss White Wolf happily hugged the sofa pillow and rocked back and forth after being praised: "Oh, it's all because of your guidance. I'm actually so stupid."
The Marquis was happy, but he didn't know how to deal with the younger generation's tone that seemed like a spoiled child, so he said seriously:
"Kalan Trade is indeed opposed to the Commercial Union, but their controller is not a good person either. Not only is he a warlord, he also runs arms businesses in various places. Are you sure?"
"If that Enthiotis is a wise man, I'll be sure of that."
The Marquis thought about it and decided to leave it to Lillian. Even if something went wrong, he would have a way to cover it. So he said, "When are you going to leave?"
"There is no time to lose. The sooner the trade routes are restored, the better. I want to go tomorrow."
"But I heard that Longmen's academic conference is about to begin. Can we do without you?"
