President Hans showed a bright smile on his face.
This was information he had already learned from others.
He shook Hans's hand and said, "If that's the case, then we should have a good talk."
Hans's mouth also curled up into a smile.
There are also many fights within the Adventurer's Guild.
He personally judged that introducing the pro-prince faction would be beneficial to his elder brother.
"Can you tell me what plans the Meyer Chamber of Commerce has?"
Louis said, "Do you know what the Meyer Chamber of Commerce is best at?"
"Of course, find a road that no one is taking and make a lot of money from it," Hans said.
Louis shook his head and said, "Not accurate enough. The key to the rapid development of the Meyer Chamber of Commerce is to create value that others have not yet discovered... I think this is very applicable to the Adventurer's Guild."
Hans' eyes lit up slightly. "What do you mean?"
Louis held up a finger and said:
"We are committed to making ordinary things extraordinary, and developing the value of worthless things. The Adventurer's Guild... there must be many similar competitors."
Hans nodded and said:
"The Mercenary Association that swindles people under the guise of the Adventurer's Guild, the Thieves Guild and the Bard's House that have been trying to get a piece of our quest pie, and there's no need to mention the regional organizations."
Louis nodded: "The benefits of accepting missions are too great. If I were a lord and had the ability to get a piece of the pie from the missions, I wouldn't mind taking advantage of it."
Yes.
Compared with large cross-regional organizations, those small regional organizations actually occupy a considerable market share.
Giant food delivery platforms such as Meituan and Ele.me are unable to resist the erosion of downstream community group buying platforms.
Further downstream on the community group buying platform, there are a large number of self-employed home delivery businesses based on WeChat groups.
How could there be no one else coveting a business like the Adventurer's Guild?
"After seeing the situation at your headquarters, I realized one thing: you are not good at building your own reputation."
"Is it because the Adventurer's Guild expanded too quickly and made you arrogant?"
"Or have you focused too much on collecting outstanding adventurers and neglected to optimize your own functions?"
"So this time, I would like to discuss business with you on behalf of Mr. Meyer, about the plan of 'how to make the Adventurer's Guild great again'."
Although he couldn't see Caesar's expression, Hans' nostrils flared, as if he heard something called ambition from his armor.
That is what the Adventurer's Guild dreams of most. Even the entire MapleStory came into being for this purpose.
He stood up and said:
"Mr. Caesar, I need to contact the president of the General Association as soon as possible regarding this matter."
"Please take a look around on your own for the rest of the time. I'll be back soon."
Louis nodded, and Hans just stood up and left.
The development of the Adventurer's Guild Headquarters was far beyond his imagination.
Take MapleStory as an example. When he first entered the mission hall, he even had the illusion that he had come to the science fiction world depicted in the movies of his previous life.
Of course, this effect is the result of a combination of light and shadow magic and various consciousness technologies.
Louis' first reaction when he saw the mission hall was VR and AR.
Yes, very similar.
Not just like that.
This kind of systematic technology should be able to be used directly by many major forces.
Louis doesn't actually have to negotiate with the Adventurer's Guild.
Apart from anything else, if he contacted the White Tower with his idea, although the White Tower might not be able to come up with the perfect technology of the MapleStory Mission Hall in the first place, it would be able to make him a high-quality imitation.
But during the time Louis was acting as Mayer, he gained a new perspective on many things.
Sometimes, making unnecessary transactions with others is for the sake of greater benefits in the future.
A good example is how Maoyan embedded itself into Meituan and WeChat, leveraging the power of the platforms to quickly seize the market.
Some people think that Maoyan Movie is affiliated with Meituan, while others think that Maoyan Movie is affiliated with Tencent.
But in fact, Maoyan is more like a neutral force wandering between the major factions.
Thanks to the introduction of Light Media, Maoyan Movies has gained support from Tencent’s traffic.
Meituan was launched again, which to a large extent filled the gap in Meituan’s services.
Through the mutual development among multiple platforms, Maoyan Movies was eventually formed, which later became unique and occupied a huge online ticketing market.
Many people don’t even realize that they are using Maoyan’s function to buy movie tickets.
That’s right, it was more than a year later in Louis’ previous life that he noticed that he had always been using Maoyan’s ticketing function.
The reason why Maoyan Movies is able to surpass its peers is that it directly relies on multiple large platforms to monetize its traffic.
Louis leaned back slightly in his chair.
So, Hans, what do the senior executives of your MapleStory think? Hans's elder brother Kelly has been the president of the General Assembly for more than ten years.
However, sitting in this position is largely the result of multi-party game.
He didn't do much research on Kelly's intelligence, but someone had mentioned before that Kelly's situation had not been very good in recent years.
Even if you don't know the details, there are only a few things that can be affected by sitting in this position.
This is why he told Hans that it was about "making the Adventurer's Guild great again" instead of talking about cooperation between the two sides.
He is the one who takes the lead in this matter.
Sure enough, not long after, he saw a flash of light around him, and a big man with a beard walked towards him.
Following behind him was Hans, who had disappeared for a while.
When he saw this scene, he knew that the real culprit had arrived.
"Kelly Maillard, Mr. Caesar, I have heard of your name for a long time."
Louis shook his hand and said, "Gaius Julius Caesar, President Kelly is too kind."
The old fox and the little fox smiled at each other and sat down on the sofa.
Kelly has thick eyebrows. Perhaps because he was once an adventurer, although he is also an old fox, he asks questions with the recklessness unique to adventurers:
"I am very interested in the topic of making the Adventurer's Guild great again, but how can I be sure that you can represent the Meyer Chamber of Commerce?"
Louis chuckled and said, "Of course I can't represent the Mayer Chamber of Commerce, but I know better than anyone what kind of trump card the Mayer Chamber of Commerce has now."
"I also had enough opportunities to communicate with superiors who were able to get Mr. Meyer to sit down and listen to this deal."
"Of course, if you want to move this forward, it depends on what the Adventurer's Guild thinks. If you don't have this intention, I won't interfere."
Listen.
What does it mean to be inhuman?
Obviously, Louis wanted to get the complete technology of the Adventurer's Guild for free, but when he said this, it seemed as if the Adventurer's Guild was begging them for help.
Kelly took a look at the famous adventurer and suddenly laughed loudly:
"Haha, Mr. Caesar is right. Now we really want to seek further progress in the segmented field."
——The implication is that he is willing to advance negotiations with the top management of MapleStory for this opportunity.
Louis finally smiled when he heard this: "In fact, Mr. Meyer has been seeking cooperation with more allies recently, but there are not many people who are qualified to be on his list."
Hans was shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help but interrupt:
"What qualifications?"
"Mr. Meyer wants to use the mobility network of various forces to promote the transportation of related logistics."
"At present, we have already decided on some of the names. The Tulip, Bauhinia, and Golden Jasmine Chambers of Commerce have already been decided."
"In addition, Cai Ke Tong Shen, Long Xiao Chamber of Commerce, Wind Chaser Chamber of Commerce, Wang Qi United Chamber of Commerce, Xisi Chamber of Commerce, and Iron and Steel United Chamber of Commerce... He is considering whether to move forward."
The Caiketongshen Chamber of Commerce comes from the Amn Empire.
The Dragon Roar Chamber of Commerce comes from the Dragon Empire.
The Windseekers Guild hails from the High Forest.
Wangqi United Chamber of Commerce is from the Republic of Tunisia.
The Sith Chamber of Commerce comes from the Rockhe Empire.
The Iron and Steel Chamber of Commerce is from Forgehold.
As each chamber of commerce prepared to communicate spoke up, Kelly's eyes opened wider.
It was as if he wanted to see Louis' true face under the armor.
"really?"
"Indeed! Mr. Meyer and I have a good relationship. After all, we work under the same boss. These large chambers of commerce are among those we have already talked to or are considering talking to."
Louis didn't lie.
The Meyer Chamber of Commerce tried to establish a logistics system that was slightly inferior to that of the previous life, but already very fast compared to this world.
This system cannot be controlled by the Mayer Chamber of Commerce alone.
Good and fast logistics and transportation channels are actually very easy to handle for this world.
Just run to the teleportation array.
But the problem is that due to historical issues, it is extremely difficult to get the teleportation arrays of various countries up and running now.
The approval process alone is enough to paralyze a person.
After some research, Louis basically concluded that in order to get supplies moving, he would need the assistance of a large number of large organizations traveling across the new continent.
I won’t say much about those top chambers of commerce.
They themselves have large quantities of materials to transport, and using their express lanes can make up for the lack of transportation capacity of the Meyer Chamber of Commerce to a certain extent.
However, contrary to what he said, the difficulties he encountered in promoting the logistics and transportation system were actually quite considerable.
Other merchants were not so easy to agree with him.
But when he told Kelly and Hans, it had a sense of "If you don't do it, there are plenty of Parug to do it."
This guy played a word game.
If he were communicating directly with those chambers of commerce, he would definitely not dare to say this.
But the organization he is working with is not a purely commercial organization.
He chuckled and said, "In fact, organizations like the Adventurer's Guild, the Mercenary Association, the Thieves Guild, and the Bard's House were also considered by Mr. Meyer."
"But he really prefers to cooperate with the Chamber of Commerce."
"But I thought about it. Although the major chambers of commerce have been traveling around the continent for a long time and in many regions."
"But in terms of mobility alone, how many guilds can be as fast as the adventurers of the Adventurer's Guild?"
Kelly laughed and said, "As for the mobility of personnel, I can guarantee that the Adventurer's Guild is unique in efficiency!"
Louis shook his head and said, "But the amount of cargo you can drive is not much."
——This statement is half true and half false.
For the current Meyer Chamber of Commerce, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. If it can speed up the industrial chain through logistics management, then he will consider cooperation with even the smallest organization.
But he is fighting for profit now, so he will never say it directly.
Kelly looked at the adventurer Caesar, and his smile grew even brighter:
"That's why you and I are meeting here!"
"Your Excellency Caesar, please talk to Mr. Meyer about his situation. The Adventurer's Guild is more sincere than other organizations in terms of mutual benefit and win-win results."
Louis took a sip of tea and said with a smile:
"Meyer Chamber of Commerce has relevant technology that can improve your popularity among the general public and even the powerful."
"But now I hope you can provide us with a complete technical blueprint for the lighting and shadow technology related to the MapleStory Mission Hall."
"The Adventurer's Guild's foundation is still a little weak. We need to find a way to improve your foundation."
"...Of course, sir, if you want Mr. Meyer to help you do this, you know what to do."
Kelly smiled and said, "Of course, you have to pay extra."
Both the old fox and the little fox showed satisfied smiles on their faces.
Talk about money?
Talking about money hurts feelings!
Both parties get what they need.
This is a technology exchange between the two parties.
Rounding it off means they are getting something for free from each other.
Of course...it's obvious that some people get more for free.
After Louis left the Adventure Island, Hans looked at his brother and said:
"We're at a disadvantage in this deal!"
Kelly shook his head and said, "Where do you think we're at a disadvantage?"
Hans thought for a moment and said, "The Meyer Chamber of Commerce should actually need the small-scale logistics and transportation provided by our Adventurer's Guild. We can make a lot of money from them."
Kelly smiled and said:
"Do you know why I am the president of the General Association, and you are the president of the branch, but you are still criticized?"
Hans's face turned black: "Why are you still implying me?"
Kelly snorted and said:
"You need to understand our core purpose."
"What we need now is to stabilize the position of the Adventurer's Guild and suppress other members of our industry to prevent them from further encroaching on our territory."
"I don't care how many of those chambers of commerce are really ready to cooperate with the Meyer Chamber of Commerce as Caesar said."
"But I want to prevent peers like the Thieves Guild from diluting our task pool."
"In order to ensure our dominance in this area, I must cooperate with the Meyer Chamber of Commerce, even if it means suffering a little loss."
Hans fell into deep thought.
He felt that what his brother said was right.
…
What they didn't know was that on the other side, Louis, whose consciousness had left MapleStory, immediately went to Meyer's Chamber of Commerce after returning.
"Lord Rom, let me announce to the public that the Adventurer's Guild will soon start in-depth cooperation with us in the field of logistics and transportation."
"We must spread this news to those Chambers of Commerce that are still hesitating. Of course, our counterparts in the Thieves Guild and Adventurer Guild should not be left out!"
Louis is offline.
Meyer comes on stage.
Borrowing chickens to lay eggs, start! (End of this chapter)
