Louis, who arrived at the scene at this time, looked at Knight Windrunner quietly.

With an extremely warm smile on his face, he said, "Gentlemen of the Supreme Forest, I have long heard of your great name."

"I was so busy with work a few days ago that I couldn't spare time to visit you. I'm really sorry."

When Knight saw how gentle and courteous he spoke, his fear was temporarily reduced.

Yes!

That's right.

Now he is a guest.

The Enther Empire would never let a visiting guest die in their home! Thinking of this, Knight showed a calm smile on his face.

"Just be willing to talk."

"After all, I won't budge on the price."

Knight Windrunner also has his own pride.

As one of the top leaders of the Wind Chaser Chamber of Commerce, even if he encountered an irresistible enemy, his dignity would not allow him to bow his head.

——Unless that person is the emperor!

Louis said calmly:

"I have great respect for you, but the conditions you proposed are really not sincere at all. I think it's a bit like taking advantage of someone's misfortune."

"I'll give you a price now, and you can discuss it among yourselves."

Knight was almost cheering in his heart.

Here it comes.

The name of our Supreme Forest is still useful.

Didn't you see that even President Meyer, who had the Emperor, the wisdom of the Empire, and even the legendary dragon behind him, had to give in when facing him? ! Taking the initiative to give in raised your bottom line price, right?

Kill! Must kill hard!

However, what Mayer said next hit him hard, and he even became angry and embarrassed.

"You are asking for 400,000 gold coins, and the technology transfer fee after the joint venture is as high as 120,000 gold coins."

"This price is too high, 200,000, and the technology transfer fee after the joint venture is 50,000. No reservations are allowed, and all cooperation must be with Zihui."

Knight's expression gradually calmed down, but his eyes began to turn angry:

"Are you kidding?"

He seemed to hear the sound of his own teeth grinding.

200,000? If this news spread back to the Supreme Forest, would he still want to stay in the Supreme Forest? So he didn't know where he got the courage from, and refused on the spot, saying firmly: "No, 400,000 gold coins, half of which will be paid in one go, and the same goes for the 120,000 gold coins transfer fee. The core technology needs our people to control it."

"How can you humans be so capable of such sophisticated magic control?"

"None of these conditions can be reduced or decreased?"

Louis smiled: "Then you can go and prepare the carriage for the return trip."

Louis clapped his hands, and the only few civil servants who remained there acting as messengers followed him and left.

There was a hint of confusion in Knight's eyes.

No, wasn't he afraid of being blamed by his superiors? However, Knight waited for a whole day, but Mayer didn't come back.

But he firmly believed that this technology was extremely important to the Enther Empire.

Tomorrow is the last day.

They will definitely come to us tomorrow and beg us to negotiate.

…

the next day.

Knight and his negotiators had dinner in the hotel in high spirits.

Because today is the last day to sign an agreement with Zihui.

He always believed that everything that happened yesterday was a test by the Purple Society.

Suddenly, the messenger came running over in a hurry, his eyes full of panic: "No, it's not good, Master Knight."

"The Ministry of Environment has unilaterally announced that it has terminated the negotiations with our Chamber of Commerce and ruled that we are out."

Knight, who was leisurely drinking cream of mushroom soup, was stunned for a moment.

The spoon in his hand fell into the bowl with a clang.

The splattered cream of mushroom soup stained his rich clothes with other colors.

…

【Location: Meeting Room of Ministry of Environment】

Louis looked at the leaders of Yuhui and Zihui and said calmly, "The Supreme Forest is out."

"Now tell me, with this information, the Yuhui will connect with the Forge, and the Zihui will connect with the Am Empire. Do you have the confidence to take down their underwear?"

The two leaders of Yuhui and Zihui looked at each other.

Someone asked cautiously, "Your Highness, isn't it said to kill the chicken to scare the monkey?"

Louis said calmly:

"I made two preparations. The first one was to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys."

"Using the three chambers of commerce of Forge, Amn Empire, and Dragon Empire as chickens, we are going to scare the High Forest."

"But the other party obviously thinks they have us in their grasp, so we must implement the second plan..."

Louis raised a strange smile and said, "Everyone, don't forget, the chickens are still watching!"

"If the Supreme Forest is really established, do you believe they will dare to raise the price directly?"

Everyone looked at each other.

The two people in charge of Forge Keep and Merchant Land are also difficult to deal with.

They are indeed the ones who can do this.

Louis drank his tea slowly and said:

"If killing the chicken to scare the monkey doesn't work, then we'll just kill the monkey as well."

“Otherwise it will only affect our final layout.”

"Let this matter go out and put an end to it!"

"You two, my final instruction to you is that Yu Hui must fish out the trump card technology of the Iron and Steel United Chamber of Commerce."

"The Purple Society is trying its best to suppress the price of the Cai Ke Tong Shen Chamber of Commerce."

"As for the Supreme Forest... Hey, everyone, let's let the bullets fly for a while."

Finally, the two responsible persons nodded firmly.

…

【Location: Steel United Chamber of Commerce】

The head of the Chamber of Commerce, who was sitting on the chair, kept wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

However, within a few seconds, more fine beads of cold sweat began to seep out.

"It's so cruel! This wave is really cruel!"

"No, we don't want any of the Supreme Forest's technologies, and we're going to eliminate them all?"

"Oh my god, how dare they do that?"

"This is the highest level of technology in waste treatment facilities, and you don't want any of it?"

Everyone looked at the dwarf leader who was smoking crazily over there.

He sucked all the ashes out of the pipe in one gulp.

Then shake off the ashes and continue to put in new tobacco.

"Sir, do we still need to stick to the previous conditions and not give out the latest technology?"

The dwarf leader slammed his pipe on the table and yelled, "You got ore in your head, right?"

"Do you believe that if we dare to say 'no' to them now, the High Forest will be our fate?"

A tired look appeared on his face. "When the person in charge of Yuhui comes over, tell them that we have agreed to the most advanced technology they requested before."

"Then...what if they continue to lower the price?"

The person in charge said, "If it's not too much, just agree to it!"

"After all, this time the Wind Chaser Chamber of Commerce's face was thrown to the ground and stomped on."

“If it goes as expected, once this news gets out, some small countries that purchased Supreme Forest equipment will probably give up the option of Supreme Forest.”

"In the long run, it will actually be beneficial to the sale of our chamber of commerce equipment."

"We accept this wave of losses for the sake of a more distant future."

…

[Location: Amn Empire Station]

The vice president of the Cai Ke Tong Shen Chamber of Commerce sighed and said, "There are capable people on the other side. I dare not raise the price directly this time."

The assistant to the vice president stood nearby and whispered, "In the long run, we can definitely take advantage of this favorable situation of the Enser Empire to establish the reputation of the Caike Tongshen Chamber of Commerce as a equipment processing company."

"Although we didn't make any profit this time, the Chamber of Commerce does urgently need some working capital to operate."

"Let's revitalize the Chamber of Commerce first, we won't lose anything."

The vice president slapped the assistant on the forehead:

"Silly, you have to understand one thing. For us businessmen, not making a profit is the same as losing money!"

He slumped down in his chair and said:

"The price cut is a foregone conclusion. We have no choice but to accept the loss."

He chuckled: "Besides... I'm just an employee. If this doesn't work out, I won't be able to keep my job."

…

[Location: Supreme Forest Station]

Knight's eyes turned red, and he grabbed the interrogator and asked, "Where is Mr. Meyer? Have you found Mr. Meyer?"

The elf who sent the message was about to cry.

"Lord Knight, we have used all our channels in Tino City to try to find Mr. Meyer, but no one is willing to help us."

Knight's heart was trembling:

"How dare they!"

"Where in the Star Continent is there any waste disposal technology that is stronger than our Supreme Forest?"

“We are number one.”

“Undoubtedly the best!”

The people below were whispering.

They had sensed the calm before the storm, but it was of no use.

In the face of the general trend, ordinary people are like ants that are powerless to resist.

The punch that came down with the power of the Enther Empire for thousands of years stunned all of them.

Suddenly, a bright light flashed on the communication crystal in the room.

Knight Windrunner opened the crystal with a trembling face: "Uncle!"

"waste!"

A cold voice came from the other end of the crystal:

"Do you know what a stupid thing you did?"

"Despite the largest order in history, we in the Supreme Forest did not gain anything."

“As soon as the news got out, almost all customers who purchased our chamber of commerce’s waste treatment facilities knew about it.”

“Some customers who are wavering have simply chosen to cancel their orders.”

"Some people have already come to us and are ready to terminate their contracts with us."

"I asked someone about the situation, and they said they were planning to purchase equipment from Forge, Amn Empire, and Dragon Empire."

"Do you know what you are doing?"

"After losing the market of the Enther Empire, our Wind Chasers' products are beginning to be questioned!"

Knight opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he could only say silently: "Uncle, I will resign from the Chamber of Commerce!"

A sigh came from the crystal ball:

"Resign? You think you still have a chance to resign? You are all fired!"

It was like a bolt from the blue for everyone.

He staggered and sat down on the ground.

…

After signing the agreement on the same day.

Louis gave everyone his final instructions: "Tell the United Steel Chamber of Commerce, the Cai Ke Tong Shen Chamber of Commerce, and the Dragon Howl Chamber of Commerce."

"The 210 town orders we have given this time will be divided into three batches, with each company responsible for 70 towns."

"Now let me tell you my request. I ask the three chambers of commerce to implement the '1+2+67' system."

"1. It means that they must build a waste treatment facility in their own country and then bring it to the Unther Empire."

"If it can't be done, the agreement is void."

"2, which means they must divide their technical staff into two groups and produce two waste treatment facilities in the Enther Empire."

“Our people must be guided on the spot from beginning to end until we understand it thoroughly.”

"If it can't be done, the agreement is void."

"67, it means that our Enther Empire's technicians will follow up and produce the remaining 67 sets of equipment."

"If there's even one thing that's different about the final product from 1+2, it means they've retained the technology."

"The agreement will still be void."

The people below were horrified when they heard this.

What a vicious plan!

What? This strategy is aimed at other companies?

Damn, this is such a cool plan! At this time, an official questioned: "Mr. Meyer, although we have obtained all the technologies of the other three companies through this method."

"But are we really going to give up the most important Supreme Forest technology?"

"The accident at the National Waste Treatment Plant is still before our eyes. Without top-notch treatment equipment, we can't do anything at all!"

"Have you discussed this matter with His Royal Highness Olivia and His Royal Highness Louis?"

At this moment, Louis, who had transformed into Mayer, showed a strange and cruel smile on his face: "I wanted to talk about this matter here."

He patted the table lightly, and everyone present looked at him.

Louis said calmly:

"First, within half a year, we will start the merger of the Yuhui branch and the Zihui branch and bring all the technologies together."

"Secondly, there is one thing I haven't told you."

"We need to rotate waste treatment facilities not in the 210 towns that we have announced, but in 510 towns."

With a bang.

A new nobleman sitting next to the Marquis of York stood up, blushing and said:

"Great! No wonder I always felt something was wrong!"

"Is this the truth of the two peaches killing three warriors that Mr. Meyer wanted to see?"

Louis looked at the businessman with some curiosity and said, "Oh? Do you already know what I want to do?"

The new noble danced and said:

“Great!”

“That’s wonderful!”

"Have you not realized yet? We have previously launched a plan to update waste treatment facilities in 210 towns, creating the largest single order in the mainland."

"Any chamber of commerce that can take on this order, even if it's just a small one, can become a top chamber of commerce overnight."

“This is also the reason why all forces are unwilling to give up the bidding this time.”

“But that’s not the most important thing.”

"Our goal from the beginning to the end has always been the technology of the Supreme Forest."

"But other towns don't necessarily need the high technology of the Supreme Forest."

"I just took a look at the layout of the 210 towns we came up with."

"It is certain that when Mr. Meyer was selecting the towns at the beginning, he did not include the most core towns in the list of these 210 towns."

"That is, these towns themselves do not need such high-tech waste treatment facilities."

“The equipment of these three facilities can just fill the waste disposal needs of slower-growing towns today.”

“And it won’t affect the layout of other towns at all.”

"Not to mention that we have already exhausted the potential of these three chambers of commerce."

"Mr. Meyer, please tell me, six months later, do we need to come up with a list of 300 towns for a second round of bidding?"

Louis clapped his hands and laughed.

Good, good, good! There are indeed so many heroes in this world! Even smart people cannot see far ahead due to the limitations of the times.

But if they are given just a little bit of opportunity to glimpse the wider world, they can come to conclusions in an instant.

Then he laughed and said:

"Amazing! There is actually someone in this world who knows my heart so well!"

"That's right. The second round of bidding will be held in half a year. Everyone present, please keep this secret to yourself."

"In the second half of the year, a new historic first order will be placed."

"Guess what, next time, will the Supreme Forest, or the Wind Chaser Chamber of Commerce, be so stubborn?"

"As for whether other chambers of commerce will still compete?"

"It doesn't matter. Our goal is always the technology of the Wind Walker family!"

Louis showed a wolf-like smile on his face:

"Don't forget, the High Forest is the High Forest, and the Windrunner family is the Windrunner family."

"There is a difference between the interests of the High Forest and the interests of the Windrunner family."

“They don’t have a choice.”

"As for how to get them to lower the price next time, I don't need to tell you how to do it, right?"

The new nobles at the side clapped their hands and laughed:

"Hahaha, in this way, within half a year at the latest, the entire set of mid-to-high-end technology for waste treatment equipment will fall into the hands of our Enser."

"Use the open strategy of a great power to crush the opponent in an upright manner and gain benefits."

"What a great trick, Mr. Meyer. I've learned a lesson."

At this time, everyone in the audience was stunned.

He looked at Louis as if he were looking at a god.
