"So, Lady Beatrice means that we should be prepared to take two or even three steps."

The Marquis of York glanced at the people around him.

Everyone present today is the empire’s confidant.

If outsiders knew the list of people attending today's meeting, I'm afraid all the major chambers of commerce would be trembling.

Because the people here can be said to be one of the symbols of the empire's wealth.

Viscount Joseph, who is in charge of commerce under the Imperial Chancellor.

The head of the empire's foreign trade and diplomatic exchanges, Count Karlin.

The three largest state-owned chambers of commerce in the Enser Empire are [Tulip], [Bauhinia], and [Golden Jasmine].

The mainstays representing commerce among the emerging nobles.

Now they are all gathered together.

The Marquis of York clapped his hands and said:

"Everyone, let the head of the Meyer Chamber of Commerce explain the current progress."

Louis, wearing a clown mask, stepped forward, bowed slightly, then stood up and said:

"Recently, our Ministry of Environment plans to release a delicious and juicy peach to the entire continent."

"Due to what happened at the Imperial National Waste Treatment Plant and our own supply and demand situation, we are eager to complete the replacement of the old waste treatment facilities before the middle of next year."

"Under the instructions of Her Highness Beatrice, we need to purchase a batch of waste treatment equipment for 210 towns from all forces on the continent that are qualified to provide waste treatment equipment."

"As soon as the news came out, we received positive responses from all parties."

“Among them, the various forces that meet our waste disposal needs have been screened out.”

"As expected, it's still these four companies."

Louis looked around at everyone and said, "The Wind Chaser Chamber of Commerce, which is affiliated with the First Family of the Supreme Forest."

"The Dwarven Iron Chamber of Forge."

"The Amn Empire is backed by the Cai Ke Tong Shen Chamber of Commerce of the Council of Five."

"The Dragon Empire's national chamber of commerce, the Dragon Howl Chamber of Commerce."

"These four companies are now salivating over the peaches we threw out. No one wants to eat this, which can be said to be the largest waste disposal order in the past 100 years."

"In accordance with our previous plan, we have made the following tender requirements."

“First, purely foreign chambers of commerce are not allowed to conduct bidding.”

“Second, purely domestic chambers of commerce are not allowed to conduct bidding.”

“Only chambers of commerce that have reached cooperation and completed relevant technology transfer can enter the imperial market.”

"Of course, there is also the most important requirement. For this bidding, only two chambers of commerce within the empire are allowed to be designated to cooperate with external chambers of commerce."

"They are the Tulip Merchant Guild's Tino City branch, and the Purple Gold Flower Guild's Lance City branch."

“Hereinafter referred to as the two branches, Yuhui and Zihui.”

"Our goal is to obtain the best processing technology from the Wind Chaser Chamber of Commerce."

Yes.

Louis' suggestion was to bid.

Strictly speaking, he intended to lead a two peaches to kill three warriors game.

Bidding is not something that only existed in the past.

The Star Continent has existed for many years and also has the concept of bidding.

If you expect to acquire high-quality assets at low prices through bidding, you will underestimate the Supreme Forest.

Whether it is the Tulip Chamber of Commerce or the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce, there are at least fifty branch chambers of commerce under them.

If it is fully liberalized and any branch chamber of commerce is allowed to cooperate with overseas chambers of commerce, then the negotiations will change from more wolves than meat to the other chamber of commerce being able to choose whatever it wants.

It would be extremely difficult to obtain high-end technology from the Supreme Forest.

This is something Louis would not allow.

Therefore, the first key point of this trick of killing three warriors with two peaches is "joint venture".

It’s not the kind of joint venture that was a cover in the previous life, but it’s telling you directly that I want to buy your technology, and then use your technology to defeat you.

This is an open conspiracy.

Because this cake is really too big.

It was planned to replace all large, medium and small waste treatment facilities in 510 towns.

The Empire originally intended to replace it slowly over five to ten years.

But Louis gave a new suggestion.

[Directly select the list of 210 towns and cities and invite them to bid in a unified manner]

This unprecedented large order instantly shocked the world.

Everyone knows that the Enther Empire has been growing rapidly in recent years.

This cooperation will be a bridgehead for further cooperation in the future.

Not to mention, the demands raised now are already telling everyone——

The cost of giving up the bid or losing the bid is unacceptable to any chamber of commerce engaged in waste disposal.

At this time, the chamber of commerce with the weakest overall strength was the Dragon Howl Chamber of Commerce of the Dragon Empire.

But the Dragon Howl Chamber of Commerce seemed unusually calm at this time.

Because they had already had many pleasant cooperations with Zihui long before this bidding.

They were qualified to bid first.

Most importantly, the Dragon Howl Chamber of Commerce is very obedient.

For any request from the empire, the answer would be just three words: "Change it immediately."

The Enser Empire naturally took care of this obedient little brother.

So now the focus is on the competition between the High Forest, Forge and the Empire of Amn.

This is also the key to Louis's two peaches to kill three warriors.

His eyes turned to the president of Yuhui.

President Yuhui stood up and said, "Everyone, let me first tell you about the progress of our Yuhui."

"Furnace Castle had cooperated with our Yuhui in previous years, so after getting the news, they came directly to our Yuhui."

"The Supreme Forest has approached the Purple Society."

"The Amn Empire is relatively weak, so we chose to negotiate with the Yuhui and Zihui at the same time in order to get more benefits."

"So far, the negotiations have been very difficult, and the 40-day negotiation period given by His Highness has entered the penultimate day."

"Let me first talk about the situation in the Am Empire."

"Their Cai Ke Tong Shen Chamber of Commerce is very cooperative with us, and they basically meet the conditions we set."

"But their technology is not up to standard. The merchants have been eyeing the waste treatment industry for a long time, but even if they take out the latest Caishen 4 treatment equipment, it is still not enough."

"I think the Purple Society should have some ideas on this point."

Louis looked at the person in charge of the Purple Society.

The Purple Club leader nodded and said:

"You, Yu Hui, don't think highly of their technology, and neither do we."

"Now it's me who has pushed their price down very low, and the Cai Ke Tong Shen Chamber of Commerce has no choice. He dare not refuse."

The head of the Purple Club looked at the Marquis of York with some headache:

"My Lord Marquis, the Dwarven Iron Union of Crucible is a branch of the only guild under their command, the Fullmetal Merchants Guild."

"They have slightly more technology than Cai Ke Tong Shen, but the Steel Federation is unwilling to sell the latest generation of technology."

"The situation at Yuhui is very troublesome right now, but our negotiations with the Wind Chasers of the Supreme Forest are also not going well."

The head of the Purple Club rubbed his brows and looked at the Marquis of York hesitantly, or more precisely, at Louis and said:

"Mr. Meyer, if we continue like this, we may not be able to complete the task within the specified time."

However, after hearing them say this, Louis's lips curled up into a smile.

His voice rose slightly, and a cunning look appeared under the clown mask:

"No, everyone. We have achieved the first step. The prey has fallen into the trap."
