"When did you sign this?" Noshan Casa stood up abruptly and questioned him in his face.
"It's been a while. My brother, Zhao Youqian, has been taking care of the family's affairs. Grand Duchess Irene isn't familiar with him, so the agreement only came into effect when I took over the family's affairs," Zhao Manyan replied.
Noshan Casa flipped through the contract and saw a supplementary contract.
Noshan Casa frowned.
The Casas dared to challenge the Zhao Clan in the auction because they were able to acquire dragons and young dragons from the Victoria Dragon Tamer Clan.
This point alone was enough to cause serious problems for the Zhao family's auction. In Europe where dragon culture was already popular, as long as the industry had something to do with dragons, it would basically make a lot of money. Moreover, several other rich continents would definitely be looking for something like this.
The Zhao Clan was being criticized in this regard. It was likely that they would lose their position because of it. Zhao Manyan had a bad relationship with the Victoria Dragon Tamer Clan.
To their surprise, the Victoria Dragon Tamer Clan had given the exclusive rights to the Zhao Clan after the successor was replaced. It was not only because of the Zhao Clan's wealth, but also the trust of the people close to Grand Duke Irene!
The problem was, how did this Zhao Manyan earn Grand Duke Irene's trust at such a young age?
"Mr. Nuoshan, I have another agreement here. Our Zhao Family is planning to buy all of your assets for the Dragon Race. You can take a look at the price I've proposed and see if you're satisfied with it." Zhao Manyan was obviously well-prepared for the Venice Chamber of Commerce. He snapped his fingers.
The third beautiful woman walked out with a new agreement in her arms and handed it to Nozan Casa.
Noshan Casa was startled!
What the heck!?
He was here to suppress the Zhao Clan's auction business. How did the Zhao Clan end up buying it all of a sudden?
"We don't plan to sell the auction. Take back your contract," Noshan Casa said in a huff, showing an arrogant attitude.
"I'm only proposing this purchase. After all, our Zhao Family has many other choices. I just feel that the Casas are quite reputable in Europe, so I believe your auction is trustworthy," Zhao Manyan said.
Noshan Casa snorted coldly, but the consultant beside him opened the contract and read it carefully.
After the consultant finished reading, he whispered to Nuoshan Casa, "Sir, if the dragon auction is monopolized by the Zhao clan, our auction will no longer have the qualifications to compete with the Zhao clan. Instead of letting them gradually fall into disuse, it is better to accept this price. This money can make up for our investment in the energy stone mining industry in South America. Now, our focus should be on the energy magic stones. There's no need to compete with the Zhao family in the auction. "
After Nuoshan Casa heard this, he couldn't help but open the contract.
The price was very attractive.
After all, the Zhao family was rich and overbearing!
If they were able to squander money like this at the acquisition auction, it meant that their funds were still very strong.
Businessmen should not act on impulse.
"After considering your price, I'll take this contract back and read it carefully." Noshan Casa smiled in the end.
"Then I look forward to working with you," Zhao Manyan said straightforwardly.
…
The Casas no longer mentioned the resignation. The representatives of the other factions who were not as reliable kept their mouths shut, too. None of the other families, financial groups, or the royal family actually had the guts to attack the Zhao family. After all, the Zhao family was still in charge of the Venice Chamber of Commerce. The Spanish royal family being kicked out was like killing the chicken to warn the monkeys!
The incidents against the Zhao family gradually decreased. What remained were the conflicts between the major financial groups. As the president of the Chamber of Commerce, he had to step up and mediate.
Zhao Manyan was not an expert in this aspect. He left the job to an old man in the Zhao family.
One had to act according to one's capabilities. The Venice Chamber of Commerce was huge, and the waters were as deep as the ocean. Zhao Manyan still had a lot to learn.
…
"Old Dong, I don't think those old foxes will mention the resignation again, right?" Zhao Manyan asked an old man beside him during a break.
"Not this year, but I can't say for sure next year. It depends on our harvest this year," Old Dong smiled.
"What are you smiling about?" Zhao Manyan asked in confusion.
"As a matter of fact, the fact that Young Master has become a respected Mage is indeed a great help to the Zhao Clan. For a long time, the renowned clans and royal families in Europe were biased against the Zhao Clan. They thought we were just merchants, and that a merchant's status would never be as noble as a Mage's. People kept saying that we were raising the price of our products, or manipulating the market, and that we were not contributing to society at all …" Old Dong said.
"Is that so? I think everything is the same," Zhao Manyan replied.
"Everything is inferior. Only cultivation is superior. Our roots are in the Magic City, and you are the hero of the Magic City. Even your father didn't know about the relationship between the renowned families and the Chamber of Commerce, yet you are able to achieve it so easily. Isn't it because you are respected by the people in the Magic City? Who would doubt the business of a man who is willing to sacrifice his life for the city? "Old Dong said calmly.
Zhao Manyan did not think too much about it. After all, he had been dragged into the water all these years. Perhaps he had been dragged into the water too many times, so he had unknowingly jumped into the water himself.
"I guess so," Zhao Manyan was a little confused.
"You even came first in the World College Tournament. The Europeans are very interested in the titles … I mean, the whole world is interested in the titles. Our Zhao family has been investing a huge amount of money in the students of famous schools every year, hoping that they can bring us some influence. Even if the returns aren't great, we still have to spend the money. Now that you are a powerful and impressive Magician, your aura is completely different from the leaders of financial groups who have to bring a team of Magicians with them. Therefore, with such a special honor, in addition to your talent and ability in the business field, I believe that one day you will be able to do even better than your father, "Old Dong said emotionally.
"Old Dong, you have overestimated me. I'm nothing compared to Zhao Youqian when it comes to business," Zhao Manyan shook his head. Zhao Manyan was well aware of his own capabilities.
"It's different. He might be an outstanding businessman, but he's not an outstanding leader. Our Zhao Family already has enough outstanding businessmen. We need a leader with more courage and responsibility, "Old Dong obviously had a very high opinion of Zhao Manyan.
