Danga Kingdom, the royal capital.

Conrad was unhappy during this period.

He was sure that the rise of Danga was definitely related to the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce!

But unfortunately, the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce was too mysterious. He investigated for several days but found nothing. He only knew that Danga State and the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce had in-depth cooperation, but he could not find out the content of the cooperation.

Even though Conrad revealed his identity and was treated with courtesy by King Bennett, Bennett played dumb when the issue of the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce came up, and Bennett refused to sell those steam trucks.

No matter what, Conrad is on someone else's territory, and people give him face because of the Kingdom of Hobro behind him. He cannot be too pushy.

Conrad did not ask Bennett any more questions, but he was very anxious. After all, he had been out on a mission for such a long time. Now, let alone buying a steam truck, he hadn't even met the top management of the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce.

But what Conrad didn't know was that he was anxious, and so was Bennett.

It is no exaggeration to say that Danga’s current ranking is entirely due to the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce. If there were no Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce, Danga’s ranking would definitely drop.

As the saying goes, it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Bennett does not want Danga to become what it was before.

Therefore, he must cling to the Hongye Chamber of Commerce.

Ever since Conrad, the envoy from the Kingdom of Hobro, came, he had a strong sense of crisis, fearing that the other party would give the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce more favorable policies and "take" the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce away from him.

So these days, unless Conrad, the messenger, came to see him, he was in Xincheng, discussing life with Shu Daqiang.

Speaking of which, Conrad was a little dazed. He had always thought that the owner of the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce was here, especially after seeing the tall and magnificent Red Leaf Bank. He would stay in the bank when he had nothing to do, looking forward to meeting the owner of the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce and then have a good talk about cooperation issues.

As for the staff's claim that their master was not here, Conrad did not believe it at all. During this period of time, he roughly estimated that there was countless gold in Hongye Bank. He could not do it. The other party's master was so careless that he would not come to guard it personally? Such a tall building, the top leaders of Hongye Chamber of Commerce must be inside! Conrad thought so.

But he had no idea that what the staff said was true. The owner of the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce was really not here, and even they had never seen him. Now the biggest person in charge of the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce was General Manager Shu Daqiang.

After Hongye Bank got on the right track, Shu Daqiang did not stay here all the time. Instead, he went to the new city to carry out the tasks assigned by Zhang Feng.

In fact, it is not difficult to meet Shu Daqiang. You just need to tell us your identity and say that you are looking for Hongye Chamber of Commerce to discuss cooperation. As long as Hongye Chamber of Commerce determines that you have value for cooperation, they will naturally report you to Shu Daqiang.

As the envoy of the Kingdom of Hobro, he is obviously qualified.

But Conrad never made it clear and kept it secret. He kept saying that he wanted to find the owner of the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce and talk to him in person.

But the problem is, people don’t know your purpose or identity. Not to mention the owner is not around, even if he is there, they won’t let you see him casually.

Although Shu Daqiang already knows Conrad's identity, wouldn't it be embarrassing for the Hongye Chamber of Commerce if you don't take the initiative?

In addition, Zhang Feng told him to wait and see for the next two days and wait for news.

So, Conrad was always turned away.

This made Conrad very uncomfortable. He even suspected that it was Bennett's doing to prevent him from contacting the top management of the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce.

Bennett naturally didn't know that the other party was suspecting him. He wanted to do this, but he didn't dare. What if the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce was interested in cooperating with the Hobro Kingdom? If he dared to stop them, he would be in trouble.

Bennett felt very strange that Conrad had not contacted Shu Daqiang for so many days.

But he didn't think much about it. This was exactly what he wanted to see. He hoped that no one could find the top leaders of the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce.

But this is impossible. In the past few days, many unfamiliar faces have appeared in the city. There is no doubt that they are spies from other countries.

Bennett wanted to throw all these people out, but he didn't dare. He could only place his hope on Shu Daqiang.

Speaking of which, Bennett's expectations are very simple. As long as the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce does not withdraw from Danga and maintains a good cooperative relationship with him, he will be satisfied.

However, Shu Daqiang still hadn't received any definite news, which made him feel a little uneasy.

He didn't know whether the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce had already secretly negotiated with others. He was afraid that when he woke up, the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce would disappear, and then he would be so sad that he would not be able to cry.

"Mr. Rat, you mentioned before that the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce has recently made a big move. This..."

Inside a factory office in Xincheng.

Bennett and Shu Daqiang sat opposite each other.

On the table in front of the two of them were several large dishes and two huge bowls of white rice.

Bennett swallowed as he spoke.

He swore that he definitely didn't stick to Shu Daqiang for food, he did it for the future of Danga! "Your Majesty, let's eat first, otherwise it will get cold. Let's talk about it after we finish eating."

Shu Daqiang spoke somewhat helplessly.

He had gotten used to Nebet coming to eat on time every day.

"good."

Bennett didn't hesitate and picked up the knife and fork and started eating.

Ever since Shu Daqiang treated him to a banquet, he couldn't forget the food of Hongye Chamber of Commerce. He never thought that there was such delicious food in the world! Compared with these delicacies, the food in his palace could not even be called food!

At that time, Bennett thought that these were specially taken out by Shu Daqiang for his sake. They must be very precious foods for the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce. He was very happy about this and felt that the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce was very sensible.

But once, when he saw Shu Daqiang's food by chance, he became completely autistic. It turned out that what he thought was "precious food" was actually the standard meal of Shu Daqiang and his friends every day! So, under the pretext of discussing cooperation, Bennett shamelessly joined the ranks of freeloaders.

Shu Daqiang didn't care. It was just one more person to eat, and the food wasn't that valuable.

Soon, the two of them finished the whole table of food. Bennett was still a little reluctant to leave, so Shu Daqiang asked for another pot of tea, and then he spoke slowly:

"Recently, our Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce has indeed made a big move, and we are considering candidates for cooperation..."

Hearing Shu Daqiang's words, Bennett was stunned, and then he spoke subconsciously:

"You can consider me!"

Shu Daqiang looked up at him and shook his head:

"Excuse me, this big move by our Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce may not be suitable for your Danga Nation."

"What's appropriate or inappropriate about this? If you have any requests, feel free to ask. As long as it's within the territory of Danga, I will definitely give you the greatest support!"

Bennett patted his chest.

“We are ready to issue currency.”

Shu Daqiang stared at Bennett and said.

“Issuing currency?”

Bennett didn't understand for a moment.

There are many types of currencies in the Orc Continent, and basically every country has a different one. There are even some remnants who use the currency of their extinct countries.

The current situation is that, except for the domestic currency, foreign currencies are basically weighed and then exchanged according to the ratio.

So, as long as you have the raw materials, there is no problem in minting your own currency.

Even if you take the gold coins to buy things, there will be no problem. As long as they are real, someone will buy them.

This is not a big deal at all.

Seeing the confusion in Bennett's eyes, Shu Daqiang reached out and took out a few pieces of paper that looked like paintings from his arms.

"Your Majesty, what do you think of this?"

These were the red leaf banknotes, and Shu Daqiang handed them to Bennett.

"Hmm, what...what is this?"

Feeling the special texture of these banknotes, looking at the various complicated patterns on them, and seeing the numbers on them, Bennett said in disbelief:

"Is this the currency you're talking about?"

"Yes, this is the new currency issued by our Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce - paper money."

Shu Daqiang nodded.

"Paper money..."

Bennett frowned.

Although these things are indeed very beautiful, they are not gold or silver. Can they really be used to buy things?

Shu Daqiang was not surprised to see this.

This is different from in Hongye City. In Hongye City, everyone has absolute trust in Zhang Feng, and everyone is naturally willing to believe in the banknotes he issues.

But this is the Orc Continent, the Kingdom of Danga. King Bennett and the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce are in a cooperative relationship. If this kind of banknote is issued, the first thing Bennett considers is whether it will have any impact on himself.

Moreover, could the other party produce such a fine currency in large quantities? These gold, silver and copper coins were accumulated over many years, and there were a lot of them. How could there be so many paper notes? This made Bennett doubt it.

"So what do you need me to do?"

Bennett asked somewhat cautiously.

In any case, currency, in a broad sense, is related to the entire Danga Kingdom and can affect the destiny of Danga.

Naturally, he had to be cautious. If the other party asked him to pay too much, such as collecting all the currency in the country and then issuing new currencies, he would definitely not agree.

Because this is impossible to do, and it would consume too much manpower and material resources.

What’s more, other people may not necessarily pay it. If they think your banknote is worthless and refuse to acknowledge it, there’s nothing you can do.

"All you need to do is... do nothing."

Shu Daqiang spoke with a smile.

"Ah? Nothing?"

"That's right."

In order to promote the new currency in the Orc Continent, Danga Country is a pilot country. Zhang Feng has many ways to promote it in Danga Country, but the prerequisite is that King Bennett does not stop it.

Therefore, doing nothing is his greatest support to Zhang Feng.

“Can you ensure that people trust the value of your new currency?”

Bennett asked.

"Of course, we will adopt a one-to-one exchange, that is, we will not actively release currency to the market unless they are willing to exchange it with metal currency. This will also maintain the value of the currency and keep the market stable."

Shu Daqiang explained.

Bennett still frowned.

Although Shu Daqiang said it easily, he always felt that this matter was not that simple, but he couldn't tell exactly what was complicated about it.

“So is this kind of paper money itself valuable?”

Bennett continued to ask.

"You can think of it as credit currency. It has no value in itself. It is the credit of our Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce that gives it value."

Shu Daqiang smiled and shook his head.

His words made Bennett frown even deeper.

Orcs are willing to believe in a currency that has no value in itself? Seeing Bennett's tangled look, Shu Daqiang did not force him, but said very considerately:

"How about this, Your Majesty, please think about it again."

As soon as Shu Daqiang finished speaking, someone knocked on the door. An orc walked in and whispered in Shu Daqiang's ear for a while.

Since Bennett was close and had good hearing, he heard the other party mention the envoy from the Kingdom of Hobro! "Okay - I promise!"

Bennett, who had been planning to think about it, agreed immediately.

"Your Majesty, will you reconsider this? I also happen to be... ahem."

Shu Daqiang pretended to let the cat out of the bag, which made Bennett feel even more urgent.

"I've thought about it. I'm willing to cooperate with your Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce!"

Bennett also figured it out. It was just a new currency. What impact could it have on him? After Shu Daqiang's brief introduction, he could understand that these new currencies needed to be exchanged, not put on the market all at once, otherwise the currency would be valuable, so the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce should not mess around.

Moreover, he could not quite believe that his people were using these strange paper notes instead of the coins he minted.

In addition, people from other countries also wanted to contact the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce. In order to avoid driving the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce away, Bennett agreed.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. In that case, let's discuss our cooperation."

Shu Daqiang waved his hand and the orc retreated immediately.

The two then began negotiations on currency issuance.

Bennett, after all, was doing it for himself, so at the negotiation table, although he made great concessions to the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce, he still demanded the benefits he should get.

For example, a certain amount of interest-free loan, selling him a batch of materials at a low price, allowing the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce to develop more business in Danga, etc.

Shu Daqiang naturally agreed. He even promised Bennett that unless Danga drove the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce away, the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce would never leave Danga.

This promise made Bennett breathe a sigh of relief. Isn't this what he said so much for?

As long as the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce is bound together with their Danga Country, the above conditions will not be a problem.

Now that he had finally received Shu Daqiang's assurance, his goal had finally been achieved! However, Shu Daqiang played a little word game. He was right in saying whether Hongye Merchants would leave Danga Country, but he did not say whether Hongye Merchants would leave.

In Danga country, the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce naturally does not want to leave, but in other countries, Red Leaf Business also wants to settle in!

Zhang Feng’s goal is to build a hidden business empire in the Orc Continent so that he can have the capital to compete with the Sirius Empire.

A unified currency is an important part.

The method to get other orcs to use Red Leaf Currency is actually not as difficult as Bennett thought. There is a very simple method, which is to let the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce only accept Red Leaf Currency, and then slowly influence everyone.

Of course, the premise is that the Hongye Chamber of Commerce has things that no one else has, and they cannot be bought anywhere else. They can only be bought here, and they have to be settled with Hongye currency.
