Chapter 37 Pros and Cons
In a tavern in the big market, ordinary conversations are still going on.
"No, there is another situation. In addition to you giving in, or them giving in, there is reconciliation between the two parties. I think we can work hard. I don't want to have a tense relationship with you... No, I understand."
Lu En interrupted himself mid-sentence.
He thought of something.
The United Chamber of Commerce has four decision-makers, namely the city's guild leaders, namely the Masons' Guild, the Adventurers' Guild, the Inn and Liquor Guild, and the Labor and Carriage Transport Brotherhood.
The Stonemasons Association unites the city's craftsmen and construction workers, who are considered the middle class in the city. These people control a large number of handicraft workshops, mills, and a group of craft apprentices. It can be said that half of the entire city was built by them.
The Adventurer's Guild is relatively simple and clear. They are the military support of the United Chamber of Commerce. As a distribution center for adventurers, they have considerable prestige among local combat professionals. That Eli is an adventurer. For a single adventurer,
Looking for a job, arguing with employers, and gathering intelligence are all very troublesome, but with a guild, you have a perfect place to rest, share the results of adventures with others, collect rumors, and meet with employers, and
The guild will also send other members to search for an adventuring party after it has not returned for a long time, in order to rescue or collect relics.
Because of this move, many adventurers who were in desperate situations were saved. Therefore, they have more trust in the existence of the guild, so there are quite a few members, and a large part of them are loyal members.
The Hotel and Liquor Industry Association is the eyes and ears of the United Chamber of Commerce. The hotel where Lu En lives is also their property. Hotel owners and wine industry bosses control quite a lot of news channels. It can be said that half of the city's hotels are owned by them.
They also have a group of informants and travel guides to ensure that outsiders stay in their hotels.
The Labor and Carriage Transport Association is the grassroots of the United Chamber of Commerce and the source of many of its forces. This is an association where manual workers who lack skills and low incomes unite to support each other. After all, a single worker has no actual impact, but if it is a large
A guild where workers gather can gain considerable respect. After all, no one wants all the workers in the city to be unwilling to take over their jobs. Even moving has to be done by themselves. These workers have also established a transportation association to provide transportation services to those who are willing to pay.
, many carriage drivers, messengers, newsboys and delivery persons in the city are members of the labor association, because the labor association has always been committed to maintaining the price of manual labor in the city and preventing the results of members' labor from becoming too cheap.
These four organizations, which are the four largest forces of the United Chamber of Commerce, can only compete with the Hall of Glow by uniting together, because the Hall of Glow also has its own craftsmen, logistics, newspapers, hotels, and private armed forces.
The strength of the Hall of Glow is almost equal to that of the four major associations combined. Only they can barely compete by forming a joint chamber of commerce. The two jointly divide most of the city's market, with only some scattered independent shops outside the struggle.
.
The Hall of Glow has always wanted to monopolize the commercial market of Lalante. For this reason, they chose the upper-level route. Urathil himself is a member of the city council. The city council has a total of 46 seats. People from the Hall of Glow occupy
There are 19 seats, and the rest are seats for local nobles. The governor of Larante is also a strong supporter of the Hall of Glow. It can be said that the entire bureaucracy of Larante is on the side of the Hall of Glow.
Because of this method, the Hall of Radiance has a unique advantage in formulating policies and suppressing the people through the upper levels. The last conflict, when the Masons’ Association violently clashed with the Guard because of high taxes, was obviously Yura
Behind the scenes, Hill proposed a proposal to increase taxes, and used his influence to get the proposal passed, forcing the Masons' Association to protest violently. Finally, with a clever stone, he killed the leader of the Masons' Association. If the boss's wife hadn't taken advantage of the scheme, I'm afraid the United Chamber of Commerce would have
Will suffer great damage.
The purpose of the Hall of Glow is to eliminate the United Chamber of Commerce and make itself the sole master of the commercial capital of Lalante. Therefore, Jurasil will not tolerate the continued existence of the United Chamber of Commerce. There is no possibility of reconciliation between the two parties. The Hall of Glow
This powerful dragon wants to defeat the United Chamber of Commerce with its hard power.
In order to fight against such a Hall of Radiance, what strategies will the United Chamber of Commerce adopt? Lu En can come to the conclusion after a moment of reflection. It is actually very simple.
First of all, it is unity, absolute unity. In the face of a powerful enemy, they must be united enough. This unity is reflected in intelligence sharing, consistent interests, external unity, resource negotiation, etc.
Based on what he saw so far, Lu En was very surprised at first. Why, as the leader of the Stonemasons Association, would this proprietress come to run a tavern, and she seemed to be doing it very seriously?
But after thinking about it, he understood that this was to allow the four decision-makers to understand each other's difficulties and consider the issues of the guild from the perspective of managers. This is the first element of unity. If they can't understand each other, let's talk about it completely.
Nothing more than unity.
For this unity, there cannot be internal disagreements. This disagreement includes not only the four decision-makers, but also the newsboys, hoteliers, stonemasons, construction workers, laborers, carriage drivers, adventurers, etc. everyone below must unite.
.
Therefore, even if the boss lady knows the inside story, the other three decision-makers also know the inside story. These smart people all know about Lu En's situation, but the people below do not.
Soon, rumors will spread throughout the big market, and it is 100% spread by Yurasil himself, saying that Lu En defeated the adventurers of the United Chamber of Commerce in the big market. This Lu En is said to be in the same group with the people from the Hall of Glow.
Yes, many people saw him and Urathil walking closely together.
Then, the middle-level cadres of the Joint Chamber of Commerce will start to investigate this matter. They will find that this matter is true, unmistakable, and absolutely true. Then they will come in front of the decision-makers, hoping that the decision-makers can analyze the pros and cons.
Come up with ideas.
Then, what happens?
In order to maintain the unity of the group, these people have to be appeased. The correct thing for the United Chamber of Commerce to do is to draw a clear line with itself, or even teach itself a small lesson. It is unlikely that it will completely fall out with itself, but the alliance will definitely be ruined, because he
Being branded as the Hall of Glow, in order to maintain such unity, we cannot accept people with the brand of the Hall of Glow. Even if the decision-makers know all this, it is useless. Not everyone will consider it so much.
This is what Yurahil does and thinks. After being treated like this, Lu En's only way is to completely fall over to Yurahil. Even if he doesn't want to, he can only do this, because this is not a question of whether he is willing or not, but a matter of willingness.
Because personal interests were at the forefront and personal grudges were of no importance, Urahil knew what Lu En would choose.
