Standing on top and looking at the group of well-dressed businessmen below, Tang En secretly sneered.
Although they all had smiles on their faces, their eyes were full of disdain and contempt. That sense of disdain even suppressed their greed for the Datang Chamber of Commerce.
Businessmen pursued profit, no matter which world it was. Even though in this world dominated by nobles, the status of businessmen was relatively low and they had to huddle together for warmth. But while huddling together for warmth, they still maintained vigilance against their own kind.
Under the hypocritical smile, there might be a big mouth that would swallow people whole, including their skin and bones.
What did Tang En have to say to these people?
Tang En's face suddenly showed a bright smile. Just when those people thought he was going to start a long speech, Tang En waved his hand, "Everyone, eat and drink, eat and drink, eat and drink."
Then he came down.
He came down?
Sidney's eyes widened. In this kind of occasion, the opportunity to speak in front of everyone was very precious. Not only could he increase his own popularity, but he could also take the opportunity to promote his own Chamber of Commerce and seek more cooperation and development opportunities!
Many people in the Trade Union dreamed of getting this opportunity. In order to win over Tang En, he gave Tang En such an opportunity. He actually used it just like that!?
"Baron Tang En, don't you have anything else to share with the friends present?"
"What do you mean?"
Sidney was faintly unhappy, "The Datang Chamber of Commerce has successfully made a name for itself in Alinx in just a few days and has become the favorite in the noble circle. Everyone present knows the importance of Baron Tang En."
Tang En smiled and nodded, "Thank you for the compliment."
Sidney was stunned for a moment and continued, "Whether it is the novel publicity methods, the breakthrough sales methods, or the new membership system, these are all worth learning. As a newcomer to the Trade Union, of course, we should share our experience with everyone. Don't you think so, Baron Tang En?"
"Of course, business is endless. Everyone can only make money if they cooperate."
"Yes!"
Sidney was secretly happy, "Our Trade Union adheres to this principle. Everyone cooperates, helps each other, resists malicious competition, and works together to expand the market. "
"That's the truth."
"Therefore, each of our members will share their experience in business with everyone, or … share technology with everyone."
Sidney stared at Tang En's eyes. When he said sharing technology, hundreds of people around him held their breaths, but Tang En's eyes were still very calm.
"Technology should not be monopolized, but shared with everyone. Only in this way can it benefit the whole world and make more progress … Don't you think so, Baron Tang En?
"Well said!"
Tang En shouted and began to clap.
Sidney and the others showed bright smiles, while Qutamard Zeng Bi and Night Song, who used the alias Ellie Autumn Moon, curled their lips at the same time.
She had already guessed what was going to happen when Tang En showed that kind of expression.
However, Tang En's next words made Sidney's smile freeze, "But … this is talking about your Trade Union members, right? When did I say I wanted to join the Trade Union? "
Everyone was stunned, and many people looked at Sidney. When Tang En came, they all thought that Tang En had agreed to join the Trade Union.
Now it seemed … that was not the case?
"Baron Tang En, are you not willing to join the Trade Union?"
Sidney's face was full of disbelief, "You probably don't understand how rare it is to join the Trade Union, do you?"
Without waiting for Tang En to speak, Sidney hurriedly said, "After joining the Trade Union, we can share resources. We have precious magic communication crystals, which can instantly transmit important information to all parts of Prandal. When there is a supply and demand relationship between our members, we can obtain the products we need at the cheapest internal price …"
Listening to Sidney's impatient promotion, Tang En shook his head inwardly. Although there were indeed many benefits to joining the Trade Alliance, the most important thing was that after joining, he would be under the control of others. Those people were more concerned about earning profits than promoting the use of magic for the people.
Moreover, what they really cared about now was the things that these technologies represented.
To repeat, businessmen pursued profits. Without external pressure, if they were in an absolute monopoly position, they would mercilessly exploit all the profits. There would be no thought of improving the technology or improving the treatment at all.
And now, what Tang En had to do was to break this deadlock.
"Viscount Berkeley."
Tang En interrupted Sidney's words and said with a smile, "I'll just say it like this. If you want me to join the Trade Union, sure, but there is only one condition."
"Say it."
"Let me be the president, and everyone must listen to me. I will give you unimaginable wealth and status, and even the honor of being famous for all eternity."
Tang En said, "If you can't agree to this condition, then forgive me for not agreeing."
"You —!"
Sidney was so angry that he almost splashed the wine on Tang En's face. This idiot was not like a businessman at all!
He did not understand the ways of the world at all!
Even the stupidest person would know not to offend people face to face.
The principle of leaving a way out when meeting was useful everywhere.
But what about him?
He did not take him, the president, seriously at all!
What did he mean by saying that he wanted to be the president in front of him?
I'm just asking him what he meant by that!
"You have a big appetite!"
Sidney was so angry that his face was ashen and his whole body was trembling non-stop. He instantly turned hostile, "Baron Twain, if this is a clumsy joke, please take back your words immediately!"
"Of course this is not a joke. This is my only condition for joining the Trade Union."
"Are you provoking me!?"
Not only Sidney, but almost everyone thought that Tang En was provoking Sidney. He was the president. If Tang En wanted to be the president, then what about him?
Tang En spread his hands, "Would you believe me if I said no?"
Sidney gasped for a few breaths. After calming down, his face was as calm as water, "Baron Tang En, I think you don't understand how serious the consequences of being an enemy of our Trade Union are."
"Whatever."
Tang En originally wanted to see if there was anyone with foresight among them. Now it seemed that their thinking was restricted by this world, and they could not see further.
Only an outsider like him could think beyond the inherent environment of this world.
This idiot!
Night Song, who was standing at the side, was stunned. She originally thought that Tang En would join the Trade Union and then help Victor dismantle the Trade Union from the inside!
Who knew that this guy would not only refuse their invitation, but also say such offensive words!
What is he trying to do?
Fight against the Trade Union with the support of the aristocrats on his own!?
Is he crazy or stupid?
Even if the Datang Chamber of Commerce's products are very popular and very novel and interesting, he should not be so arrogant!
Father, aren't you too stupid to choose him …
Can this guy really be the savior of the Irus?
"Arrogant! He's too arrogant! "
Baron Birbom sneered, "Being an enemy of our Trade Union is being an enemy of more than 90% of the Chambers of Commerce in the Irus Empire. You will be completely banned by the Chambers of Commerce! Do you know what this means? It means that your Datang Chamber of Commerce will not be able to do anything! You will not be able to get any resources from any of our Chambers of Commerce! "
Another bald fat man next to him said disdainfully, "What's the point of saying so much? I originally thought that a rare business rookie was born, but now it seems that he is just an arrogant and ignorant idiot. It will not be long before he knows how stupid he is. "
"Baron Tang En, do you understand?"
Sidney's face was gloomy. "If you are an enemy of the Trade Union, you will not be able to get any raw materials. No matter which city you open a shop in, the Trade Union will be the first to know … Do you know what this means?"
"It means that you want to bully us with numbers."
Tang En pursed his lips. "If I lose like this, shouldn't I call my parents?"
"It seems that you are clear about your situation. Since that is the case, do you still want to choose this path?"
The group of people next to him were gloating. They had not joined forces to ban someone for a long time. They did not expect Tang En to give them this opportunity.
In any case, after his Datang Chamber of Commerce was destroyed, the technology and the magicians working in the Datang Chamber of Commerce would be theirs. They were not in a hurry.
"You are really an idiot …"
Night Song moved closer to Tang En's ear and mocked, "I hope you have a good time."
The next moment, the magic crystal lamp suddenly went out. Darkness shrouded the entire hall in an instant. After a moment of silence, the screams of the female guests could be heard.
"Everyone, calm down! Pikes!! "
Sidney roared. There was an explosion next to him. A man suddenly burst out with a crimson light, dispelling the darkness. Following that, a few more lights lit up around him. They were the personal guards hired by the merchants present. In addition, a few merchants took out magic equipment with constant light spells or illumination spells to dispel the darkness.
With the light, the people in the hall regained their calm.
At this time, the magic crystal lamp lit up again.
Suddenly, Baron Birbom exclaimed, "President Berkley! The Deep Sea Magic Orb! "
Sidney was shocked. He turned his head and found that the Deep Sea Magic Orb hanging around Qutamard Zengbi's neck had disappeared!
A piece of paper was hanging on Qutamard's neck. "I'll take the Deep Sea Magic Orb. From Night Song."
"— Oh no!!"
Sidney roared in terror and confusion.
"— My Deep Sea Magic Orb! Damn Night Song!! I'll kill you!!! "
Everyone was stunned.
The Deep Sea Magic Orb was President Sidney's treasure. Sidney had long suspected that it would be targeted by Night Song. However, after all these years, nothing happened, so he let his guard down.
He did not expect that Night Song would get it in the end!
Tang En smiled bitterly. Night Song had disappeared beside him.
He had been tricked.
Tang En could not help but shake his head and sigh. Miss Night Song, this is not going according to the script …
In that case, don't blame me for being ruthless …
