Miss White Wolf's Terra Travel Journal

"No, no, this is basic etiquette for meeting guests. You are not only Lord Viscount Lovehild, but also a leader in the energy industry. In front of you, I am just a small Casimir businessman."

"I understand." Miss White Wolf smiled and joked, "You are an ordinary businessman who has the ability to influence the entire Business Federation and further influence the entire Casimir."

Duruel shook his head and said, "Tsk, tsk, to be honest, these words are really pleasing to hear, but I know how much I am worth, and you are really overpraising me."

"Even if it's not now, it will happen sooner or later." Miss White Wolf said with a smile, "The director invited me here today, so there must be something important to discuss."

"Naturally, I guess you won't be staying long, so I won't waste any more time."

Durul's smile faded, and he naturally turned into a sad face. "The Business Federation is keen on cooperating with scientific research companies. We should have been good partners. Unfortunately, my stupid colleagues made an unforgivable mistake. I am meeting you this time to apologize to you."

"I can assure you that when you leave this jungle, the Business Federation will lift all the blockades against Ice Stone, even if you don't agree to anything, even if you still choose to oppose the Business Federation. Because we all know that this is not your fault. If anyone should be blamed, it should be my stupid colleagues. Any attitude you take is reasonable."

"This is me, Durul, the person you mentioned who may have an impact on the Business Federation. This is the first small compensation I have secured for you."

Chapter 2023: Failure at the Last Moment07-22-12 00:02:

Miss Bai Jin clearly remembered that Bailang once said that when Bingshi and Kalan successfully cooperated in trade, the blockade of the Chamber of Commerce would lose its meaning.

Although what Durul said sounds good, as long as you calm down and think carefully, you will understand that this is a hidden trick. In an occasion like today, it is more like a test. How will White Wolf respond?

What kind of image of an opponent does she want to use this opportunity to create in Durul's mind?

While thinking, Bai Jin paid close attention to every subtle expression of Bailang. Now Miss Bailang was her teacher, and if she wanted to help her, she had to learn as much as possible.

Miss White Wolf looked like she was trying very hard to keep smiling, but her tone couldn't help but carry a hint of hidden anger, as well as the arrogance and impatience that were unique to the Ursus nobility.

"I am really surprised by the sincerity of the Business Federation." She raised her eyebrows, her eyes wandering, and looked around with a little annoyance, "Bingshi understands what you mean."

Duluer was also observing the white wolf, and he came to a conclusion in his mind: the white wolf had an extremely sharp mind and could recognize problems without thinking, but...

His smile became more friendly, and he said apologetically, "I think you may have some misunderstandings. What I just said was just an appetizer. If you really want to compensate me, how can you not be sincere?"

At Durul's signal, the guard knight opened a box, took out a square red silk tray from it, bent down and presented it to the White Wolf.

From left to right on the tray were black, silver and gold cards, with the words Casimir Bank engraved in gold font on the front and the Longmen logo in the lower right corner.

The Longmen logo means that the card is authorized to be used in the Longmen Bank. It also indicates that the card stores the Longmen currency, which has the highest circulation, value and stability in the entire continent.

Durul smiled at the White Wolf and said, "Lord Viscount Lovehild, the first card is compensation for the losses of Ice Stone Technology during the blockade period. The second card is unconditional funding for Ice Stone Technology's research projects. The third card is a personal gift for you."

He paused for a moment and said slowly, "The Business Federation was unable to assess the losses caused to Ice Stone by its actions, so it took an amount that would not cause any accidents. Therefore, the first card has a full amount of 10 million Longmen coins stored in it."

"In addition, the Chamber of Commerce attaches great importance to scientific research. Bingshi's research project may be a groundbreaking achievement. After consultation and decision by the organization, the initial funding amount is 20 million Longmen coins, which is on the second card."

"Finally, the Business Federation hates unfair competition, but we regretfully learned that during your Longmen press conference, someone in the organization actually used dirty tricks. Although we have severely punished the relevant personnel, I think this is far from enough. In order to compensate you personally and let you know our sincerity, the third card prepared for you has a full amount of 30 million Longmen coins stored in it."

"Now, you can check the cards. They are all stored-value cards approved by Longmen Bank."

Miss Bai Jin, who was listening in, felt dizzy and confused. People like her who come from a working background are extremely sensitive to commissions, and she even doubted whether she had heard it wrongly.

That was a full 60 million, and it was Longmen coins, Longmen coins! Not their Casimir Federation coins. With a small amount of this money, one could live a carefree life in the Great Knight Territory.

Miss White Wolf also roughly estimated the amount. Personally speaking, as a company executive, she would be able to earn the amount in the card by working for a few hundred years.

As for the company, well, she really didn't know much about the company. The finances were under the full management of the Marquis, but tens of millions was definitely not a small amount.

How should I put it? Although the negotiation methods of the Chamber of Commerce seem crude, they are actually very sophisticated. It’s just that most people simply can’t learn them.

She knew in her heart that the most critical link, the one that could not go wrong, had arrived.

Her attention was attracted by the card. Her eyes were filled with obsession and struggle, which was the truest expression of being tempted and hesitating.

She subconsciously stretched out her right hand, appearing hesitant and slow. Under the inner struggle, she could only move closer little by little.

Everyone's focus was on the White Wolf's hand. Durul was relatively calm at first and tried his best to resist the influence, but as he watched the hand slowly approaching, he gradually held his breath.

As long as Olisia touches the card and takes the thing in her hand, he will definitely win. The Chamber of Commerce will have complete control over the energy sector and may even expand its business into Dayan.

By then, his name will...

Nearly.

close!

Miss Platinum suddenly widened her eyes, as if she had woken up from a dream. She looked at Durul, the guard knight, and then the white wolf in disbelief, and she discovered something terrible.

These people have been completely brought into Miss White Wolf's rhythm.

The reason why she was able to sober up was because she knew Bai Lang too well. It was impossible for Miss Bai Lang to accept money from the Business Federation, nor was it possible for her to be obsessed with money to that extent. It was the sense of disconnection that made her sober up.

Miss Bailang is the best actress, she thought. There is also a saying in Yan country that the more beautiful a woman is, the better she is at deceiving people. If Miss Bailang is determined to be a bad girl, she might become the kind of person who brings disaster to the country and the people.

She continued to look at White Wolf, admiring his performance.

At the end of a long time, at the last moment before touching the card, for some reason, Olicia suddenly shuddered and retracted her arm as if she had been electrocuted.

"I think there are conditions." She looked at Durul, her face was pale, her lips were bitten bloodless, and her panic-stricken and pitiful appearance made the guard knight next to her breathe faster.

Duluer hurriedly smiled and said, "Of course not, this is purely compensation from the Business Federation."

Hearing his words, the struggle in Olisia's eyes disappeared instantly and she became alert. Durul's heart sank and he suddenly realized that he had made a mistake.

He acted too hastily, and in order to achieve his goal, he made such generous compensation sound too simple, which had the opposite effect.

"You don't need to make compensation. Bingshi and I haven't really lost anything." Olisia announced the result calmly.

Later, Olicia's attitude changed completely due to her vigilance. No matter how Durul tried to win her back, she showed a suspicious and defensive tendency.

This is the most annoying situation.

Obviously the enemy was not difficult to deal with. He just needed to keep steady and lure the opponent into the trap step by step. He almost succeeded, but in the end, because of his impatience, he let the pigeon that should have been in his hands fly away.

Chapter 2023: Victory or Defeat (End of this Volume) 07-23-12 00:02:

If other members of the board of directors had handled this matter, they would most likely have left in frustration after realizing their failure, but Durul quickly changed his mindset after feeling frustrated.

He immediately ended the sensitive topic of business cooperation and turned to talk about the development of the energy industry. He told Olisia that experts from the Chamber of Commerce had begun researching Ice Stone's products day and night a long time ago.

"It's a pity." Duluer said calmly, "Although our researchers are also top researchers from various countries, they have been unable to decipher your company's technical code after studying it for several months. They all agree that the core principle must be a genius and unimaginable design."

Miss White Wolf changed her previous serious attitude, smiled again, and said nothing.

"Although the decryption failed, our researchers also summed up a lot of technical ideas in the process. Most of these ideas deviate from the topic. But I think that for researchers, wild inspiration may be the most important thing. With this in mind, I asked people to compile these ideas into a research manual."

As Durul spoke, he took out a stack of simply bound papers from his arms: "Originally, I thought that if we could formally cooperate, these materials would naturally be handed over to Bingshi, and they should also be able to provide help for future research directions."

"It's a pity that you are unwilling to accept the Business Federation due to some concerns. I'm sorry, but I can understand. What I want to say is that I still want to give you this information. We may be restricted by our positions and interests, but scientific research itself should not be hindered by these things."

"You have a noble soul." Olicia nodded sincerely and accepted the few thin pages of paper.

"Who knows?" Durul smiled and shook his head. "I don't intend to waste any more of your time, but before I leave, I want to ask one last question."

"Please tell me."

"Does the Business Federation still have hope of cooperating with Icestone?"

Miss White Wolf pondered for a moment, glanced at the paper in her hand, and said seriously:

"Two years. After two years, if you don't change your mind, Bingshi is happy to have normal business cooperation with the Business Federation. Our only condition is that Bingshi will only cooperate with you. Except you, Bingshi doesn't trust anyone in the Business Federation."

At this point, the first real meeting between Bingshi and the Chamber of Commerce came to an end.

……

The humming sound of the shuttle quickly faded away. Durul stood silently in place, looking up at the sky where Olicia was leaving.

After checking the recorded information, Platinum removed the chip and put it in a file box for safekeeping, then reported the results to his superior.

"Sir, the recorded information has been checked and confirmed to be correct."

"Well, take the chip and return to give it to the person in charge of the board of directors' affairs."

"Ok."

At this time, the guard knight was sorting out the supply boxes. He put away the card that was originally going to be given to Olicia, and couldn't help but sighed: "Sir, I never thought that you would take out a full 60 million in funds."

"Six hundred million, so what? She will spit out as much as she eats."

The guard knight said respectfully, "Although she didn't fall for the trick, with your strategy, you still won a great victory this time."

After these words were spoken, Durul's face darkened.

His subordinates only saw that Bingshi agreed to cooperate and recognized him as the only partner, but they did not understand that the cooperation two years later was actually meaningless.

What the Chamber of Commerce values ​​is the monopoly profits. Two years later, with Kalan's trading capabilities, it will definitely be possible for Ice Stone to be sold to the entire Terra, making the market environment basically stable. Naturally, the pricing power they care about will disappear.

The cooperation at that time was just to allow a department of the Chamber of Commerce to have one more product to sell. Even if Olicia did not agree, they could buy the energy core from other dealers and sell it on their own.

Not to mention, in the next two years, Icestone Energy will inevitably squeeze the energy products of the Business Federation frantically.

This is not an inference, but the most pressing reality. Xiosta reduced the Chamber of Commerce's energy orders by 50 percent a month ago. There is enough evidence to show that Ice Stone is the driving force behind this.

"You don't understand." Durul shook his head, not intending to avoid Bai Jin next to him. "We achieved some important results today, but it is far from a complete victory. In a sense, we can even say that we lost."

"Lost?" The guard knight could hardly believe his ears.

"Two years is too long. From Olicia's perspective, it may not be a problem, but for us, it is a useless promise. But having a clear understanding of Olicia as our opponent is worth it."

Dulu paused for a moment and thought of something. Fortunately, Cavendish had something to deal with in the military, so the matter related to the ice stone was pushed into his hands.

If Cavendell were to handle it himself...

Although he is the soul of the board of directors, he has a somewhat romantic temperament. Letting him deal with Olivia might lead to bad things.

He cleared his mind and taught his thoughts to his trusted subordinates as he walked: "Olicia is more difficult to deal with, but compared with people like Enchiodis, she is still far from it. To be more precise, she is too young."

"She hasn't learned to completely hide her inner feelings. She has a strong sense of the foolish idealism that only researchers have. You have all witnessed my temptation: as long as you express your appreciation for the so-called scientific research spirit, you will immediately have an impact on such people and even change their attitude towards you."

"There is a saying among the Yan people that I like very much - a gentleman can be deceived by tricks. For researchers like her, we must first cater to her interests and then make plans. Today's research notes are a good starting point."

"She seems to have cut off ties with the trade union, but what if a month later, a researcher from Columbia University wants to discuss the key points of the note again? Should she accept it or not?"

"Since she is a person who values ​​the spirit of scientific research, she will most likely accept it. But if she accepts it, she will be a direct researcher of the Business Federation. Of course, whether she is a researcher or not is another matter."

At this point, a strange smile appeared on Durul's face.

Miss Bai Jin intuitively felt that something was wrong and couldn't help asking, "What do you mean..."

"The situation is simple. Icestone Technology is bound to have an impact on our energy business, and the extent of the impact depends on the degree of optimization of Icestone Technology's products. In other words, we need to use the most effective way to interfere with their further research."

Durul stopped talking, a bloodthirsty smile crept up the corners of his lips: Although it is impossible for the Chamber of Commerce to assassinate Olisia herself, it is still relatively easy to let the researchers of Ice Stone encounter some accidents.

Summary of Volume 2023 07-23-12 10:02:

I haven’t written a summary for a long time. I remember the last time I wrote one was last time.

cough cough.

First of all, thank you all for your comments and criticisms, which are crucial and indispensable if you want to write a good book, especially for an author like me who lacks (certainly) experience.

I would like to state here that all opinions, mainly private messages, but also in-posts, comments, etc., will be taken into consideration, and the author will comprehensively evaluate the optimization plan and writing ideas for the next stage.

One thing that needs to be pointed out is that some opinions are recognized and related issues will be dealt with as the priority, but there are also many contradictory opinions. Different readers have different views on the same content, and there may even be serious conflicts. In other words, it is very likely that no one will be satisfied anyway. The author's plan is to achieve a balance based on his overall ideas and rhythm.

I generally think that when it comes to writing, not taking advice is a taboo, and blindly following advice is another taboo.

So, imperfection may be perfection, and having problems may be no problems (?﹃?).

As for the next volume, there will be completely different new attempts. I don’t know whether the reputation will rise or it will be a complete failure, but I have to give it a try anyway.

In addition, in terms of the plot content, it seems that many people are thinking about Blade Master Tower. Some people doubt whether Blade Master Tower exists or are worried about its importance because they have not seen it for a long time. Let me clarify this here.

Blade Master is an extremely crucial character in this book, and her/his importance is definitely not added abruptly.

Let’s put it this way, you will find in the future that he/she has always been important, has always played a key role, and may even be playing a role.

As early as two years ago, when this book began to be written, Blade Master had already found its own place.

She/he just appeared a little late.

Finally, I would like to thank all the book friends for their support, and thank you Mengxin·Please be gentle, It's Viviana! , はくれい Reimu, Blue Poison, Nameless Lord, Fenglin Chengfeng, Grilled Fish, Red-haired Sarkaz, Garlic, I really don't want to pass on the fire, The meaning of life, Pier fries, Magic CC catalog, Vorwarts, Okita Souji, Going crazy anyway, no one knows, Sir Galahad of the cult, Asthesia, Lucky Unicorn, Neko-nari, Minglai, An Ling, Poison-testing trumpet, Feilin, Xiaoqiu County, Tianji-type Aquarius, eeeepe, Did the name attract you, Xue Ke, Chulainn, Lucky Unicorn, Storm Spirit, swiky, Frosting, Monet in November, Green Hat Basara……………………

Thank you all for your rewards, monthly tickets, and recommendation tickets. Thank you all for your comments and posts. Your support is the author's greatest motivation.

Chapter 2023 The Wind Rises 07-24-12 00:02:

The aircraft returned along the original route, heading southeast. Just like when they went to Kjerag, their journey bypassed Casimir's airspace and passed through the Victoria border.

At this moment, Miss White Wolf was holding the research materials given by Durul in her hand and reading them attentively.
