Volume 5 Chapter 36 The Frestech Chamber of Commerce that couldn’t be avoided
Amba.s.sador Hakanin was just pa.s.sing by Noxus Town.
Being led by manager Gnar, they had lunch at a restaurant that had only been open in the town for half a month before amba.s.sador Hakanin and vice chairman Riley headed off on the road to the Candra Empire again.
Vice chairman Riley was going with amba.s.sador Hakanin to the Candra Empire’s capital Wimbledon City to see the ministers of the Candra Empire.
The Amrit Chamber of Commerce using the relationship of amba.s.sador Hakanin wanted to let the Candra Empire realize the convenience and necessity of roads, allowing them to pave roads all over the Candra Empire.
According to the plan, if everyone went smoothly, in a year and a half when the Amrit Chamber of Commerce finished paving roads in the Norton Duchy, the Amrit Chamber of commerce would begin working with the Candra Empire. They could take advantage of the opportunity to enter the Candra Empire and continue paving roads.
But that was for a year and a half later, manager Gnar didn’t need to worry about that now.
After sending off amba.s.sador Hakanin and vice chairman Riley, manager Gnar went to the Clear Mirror Lake to the northwest of Noxus Town.
Not far from the entrance of the Anfield River on the Clear Mirror Lake was a small wharf. That place was used to dock ships that came to the Clear Mirror Lake from the Mirando River, as well as ships that came downstream from the Anfield River.
But three months ago, which was before the Amrit Chamber of Commerce came to the Norton Duchy to pave roads, there was a fleet that came from the Mirando Duchy. They completely changed this wharf and made it ten times bigger.
These days, most of the construction materials the Amrit Chamber of Commerce used in paving the roads, other than coming from the road that they already paved from the Mirando Duchy, most of it came down the Mirando River and reached this wharf.
This time manager Gnar came on the day that a bunch of new construction material was coming in.
But when he arrived at the wharf, he was surprised to find that there was a large fleet coming across the Clear Mirror Lake with over ten large boats.
What made him even more surprised was that the fleet consisted of the medium sized Magic Boat that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce only developed four months ago and hadn’t advertised yet.
This medium Magic Boat had a much bigger capacity than the normal wooden boats and was several times faster. Once it was promoted, it was immediately welcomed by all the water transport companies in the surrounding countries.
However, the only company that could receive this medium Magic Boat was currently only the Lampuri Kingdom’s Porter Chamber of Commerce.
After the Porter Chamber of Commerce ordered thirty of these medium Magic Boats, they had quickly taken most of the Lampuri Kingdom’s water transport business in just a few months. Right now, they went from a small company of Banta City that was close to closing down to a first cla.s.s company of the Lampuri Kingdom.
When the Amrit Chamber of Commerce transporter their construction materials, because of how far away it was, they had the Porter Chamber of Commerce deliver it for them, so manager Gnar wasn’t surprised to see them.
But they didn’t ship that much construction material each time, it only took one or at most two medium Magic Boats to transport it all. Why were there suddenly over twenty boats that arrived?
It had to be known, the Porter Chamber of Commerce only had a total of thirty Magic Boats. If they sent over twenty out at once, wasn’t that equal to sending almost all of their transport forces out?
As a water transport company, would they be so unintelligent?
Manager Gnar was confused as he looked at the waves on the Clear Water Lake and the fleet as it quickly approached.
When the fleet reached the wharf, the first medium Magic Boat anch.o.r.ed and several people came down who made manager Gnar even more confused.
He recognized the two in front, they were the ones in charge of the Amrit Chamber of Commerce’s transport each time. As for the ones following behind those two, they were clearly not from the Amrit Chamber of Commerce.
What was even more incredible was that after this group came down, there were actually two dwarves and one elf among them!
Manager Gnar looked at the two dwarves and the male elf with wide eyes as his heart filled with doubt.
Although because of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce acting as a model, the companies of the Lampuri Kingdom and the surrounding kingdoms were accepting over races into their companies, he had never heard of an elf joining a human company other than the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
The clothes that the elf and the two dwarves wore were of different sizes, but whether it was their design or colour, they were clearly the same uniform.
Adding in the half wing symbol on their chest, it was clear these three came from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
But…..Why did people from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce come here for?
Didn’t the rumours say that because of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s strike, as well as their ma.s.s layoffs, the Norton Duchy had lost faith in the Frestech Chamber of Commerce and gave up cooperating with them? Didn’t they turn to other companies of the Lampuri Kingdom to cooperate with?
Manager Gnar was filled with doubt. When the two from the Amrit Chamber of Commerce in charge of transporting materials came over, he pulled them to the side to question them.
After a while, he understood the situation.
So the Porter Chamber of Commerce sending this large fleet of over twenty medium Magic Boats to the Norton Duchy, other than transporting the construction materials for the Amrit Chamber of Commerce, was mainly to transport various goods for the Anke Magic Chamber of Commerce.
This Anke Magic Chamber of Commerce was the new target of cooperation the Norton Duchy chose after giving up on the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
According to the agreement the Anke Magic Chamber of Commerce reached with the Norton Duchy, the Anke Magic Chamber of Commerce would be building three household magic machine factories near Noxus Town. They would be factories for Magic Fans, Magic Lights, and bicycles.
Because this investment was a big thing for the Anke Magic Chamber of Commerce, they had attached great importance to this and chairman Anke Eren personally came to deliver the goods.
As for the two dwarves and elf from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, as well as three human engineers, they were here to help the Anke Chamber of Commerce build these three factories.
On the surface, it was because the Anke Magic Chamber of Commerce didn’t have enough experience investing in other countries, so the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had sent corresponding personnel to help.
But after manager Gnar talked to Anke Eren in private, he learned that the three factories the Anke Magic Chamber of Commerce was building had to follow the standards of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce. The Frestech Chamber of Commerce had sent these people other than to help, to inspect their factories.
Manager Gnar didn’t feel that there was a problem with this.
The Frestech Chamber of Commerce did everything they could to promote their standards, hoping that all the other magic machine companies would follow that standard.
The other magic machine companies other than fearing the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s absolute authority and leading position in terms of magic machines, they would also have to invest a large amount of manpower to develop their own research if they deviated from this standard, so there wasn’t a single company that didn’t follow it.
So when the Anke Magic Chamber of Commerce reached the agreement with the Norton Duchy and came to build the factories, Anke Eren even took the initiative to ask the Frestech Chamber of Commerce to send people to inspect their three factories, not hiding a single thing.
After learning of this, manager Gnar found it a bit funny.
He really didn’t know what the Norton Duchy was thinking. They didn’t cooperate with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, but chose to cooperate with the Anke Magic Chamber of Commerce.
But the Anke Magic Chamber of Commerce still had to listen to the arrangements of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce. In the end, the Norton Duchy couldn’t avoid the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
But thinking about it, even the powerful Amrit Chamber of Commerce that was a first cla.s.s company of the Lampuri Kingdom had to keep maintaining a deep cooperation with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce. It could even be said that they couldn’t leave the Frestech Chamber of Commerce at all.
For example, the road construction project that was the most important for the Amrit Chamber of Commerce, the cement, steel bars, and various construction magic machines they needed all came from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
If they were missing any of these, manager Gnar didn’t know how to pave this road.
And not talking about work, just in terms of daily life, looking at it from a single day, manager Gnar used the Magic Stove, the Magic Fan, the Magic Air Conditioner, the Magic Sedan, the Magic Lamp, the small Magic Water Pump……
These magic machines, which one didn’t come from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce?
Thinking of this, manager Gnar suddenly felt surprised.
Without knowing it, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s products had already controlled his entire life?
What made him more surprised was that he couldn’t resist these magic machines at all.
Rather if he lost these magic machines, he might not know how to keep living.
“I really don’t know if this is good or bad……”
Manager Gnar watched the workers move the products down from the medium Magic Boat before looking at Anke Eren talking to the various staff from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, then he couldn’t help shaking his head.
Actually if he got rid of all these thoughts, he had to admit that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce made many useful magic machines which brought endless benefits to his life.
No matter what, this should be considered a good thing.
He didn’t know why the Norton Duchy wanted to avoid the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, but choosing to cooperate with the Anke Magic Chamber of Commerce really wouldn’t be a good thing……
