Section 216 Diplomatic Situation (1)
Above the head is a dazzling lamp plate, with fists-sized fluorescent stones on it, illuminating the entire hall like daytime. This lamp plate still moves along a certain trajectory on the ceiling of the building, as precise as a pendulum, and controls the movement of the lamp plate with a simple mechanical structure.
However, Murphy scoffed at this backward lighting method in his heart, which had been behind Asturias at least fifteen years.
Asturias had used mechanical control lamps for lighting in public places twenty years ago, for example, the film theater in Liberty City was the first to use.
But since the widespread use of black rocks, like Asturias, Titania has been so luxurious that it is constant lighting technology on lamps, and the effect is much stronger than the lamp plate on the top of the head now.
However, this is the Kingdom of Zhendan. Among the countries on the blue continent, Zhendan and Saxon still adhere to classical customs. The other two countries have been carrying out magic development for almost twenty years and have not caused any major waves in their country, although the nobles among them will also buy goods produced during the magic development.
Saxon's resistance to the development of magical research and industrial production of his national tent was largely hindered by the Church of Light, because it would probably break the influence of the Church of the Cult in the supreme Saxon; and the situation of Saxon was much more complicated.
The Zhendan Kingdom has always been a barbarian country among all countries. Although it is also a member of the human race, it was originally united by several tribes in the east under the threat of foreign enemies. The full name should be called the Zhendan United Kingdom.
The initial royal family did not have very powerful royal power, and even their status was not so stable. They were more like the leader of an alliance. There were incidents in which domestic tribes wanted to overthrow them and replace them.
However, this rebellion occurred during the reign of his third generation king. The British ruler decisively introduced the orcs, and on the condition that he allowed the orcs to become his own national, he received an unexpected support from others. Then, when he was in a decisive battle with the rebels, he relied on the orcs to raid. He reversed the situation at a critical moment, and then not only won the war, but also laid the advantage of royal power after the war.
However, the tribe differences in the country are still quite large, with different customs from the north and the south. The southerners are closer to other human countries, and the heroes they produce are mostly mages; while the north is a multi-race mixed together, and some orc tribes who made great contributions in that battle settled in the north, and the north even had some contacts with the orcs Tago, Slake and other tribes, so the eastern orcs later became independent from the orc tribes. It naturally became a good friend to the Zhendan Kingdom.
Over the years, the Zhendan Kingdom has not had a good time.
Asturias in the west of the mainland developed rapidly, and national strength rose at an astonishing speed. Even Titania was overshadowed in its development speed and could not be compared with it. However, the relationship between Asturias and Zhendan is well-known and bad. Although William's death was calculated on the head of the Slake tribe of the Eastern Beast Alliance, if Zhendan did not help, it would be unbelievable.
Therefore, the war of revenge launched by Asturias later, Zhendan also demanded that Asturias stop on the grounds that it would endanger them. After this request failed, he simply intervened in the war and fought a battle with the Kingdom of Asturias, which was derived from Saxon.
After that, the countries were truceful and diplomatic relations gradually recovered, but Asturias and the Kingdom of Sindan still did not establish high-level formal diplomatic relations.
It was not until five years ago that Asturias sent a liaison office in the Kingdom of Sindan, and there was not even a formal diplomatic consul, and only a military officer was set up.
However, in recent years, with the rise of strange voices within the Zhendan Kingdom, all countries have strengthened their activities in the Zhendan Kingdom. Whether it is open diplomatic activities, secret contact lobbying, or even dark intelligence spy.
So in fact, in addition to formal diplomatic activities, some activists from various countries with certain tasks will appear in the Zhendan Kingdom as merchants. Some merchants will also play guest roles in activists, frequently appearing in Zhendan's capital or the famous border city of Turin, which not only invades Zhendan's business, but also implements the requirements of some kingdoms.
This is also impossible for these merchants. After all, many merchants need their own country’s support, especially international trade with foreign countries. Without strong support from their country, merchants’ goods will easily get into trouble or be subject to excessive tax burdens.
After the Battle of the Dark Region, Murphy stayed in the haunted place for eight years. In fact, five years ago, he became the first Dark Region adventurer to be protected by the Earth Kingdom and able to return to the ground.
However, he still failed to completely escape from the dark area, and then stayed for another five years. It was not until Asturias had a certain control in the dark area that he completely got rid of underground life.
After he returned to the surface, his life was much better than the dark adventurers who also got back to the ground.
For example, adventurers who escape to dark areas mostly commit serious crimes on the surface or offend people or forces that should not be offended. Otherwise, whoever eats enough will escape there. If it is a common crime, it would rather go to the interplanetary colonization than to live underground. Only those who are desperate to be chased and dangerously will escape to the more dangerous dark areas.
Therefore, other adventurers who like Murphy who have returned to the ground and obtained Asturias' citizenship can live on the surface, but may not necessarily leave the Asturias border.
Because once you leave the country, the possibility of being found and killed by enemies is much greater.
But Murphy is different. Just like now, he is an employee of a new company in Asturias and an investment consultant to Chuangshen Consulting Co., Ltd. His appearance of coming to the Kingdom of Zhendan was to serve the rich.
In the tax and industrial and commercial registration records under the Asturias Ministry of Finance, Chuangshen Consulting Co., Ltd. is not only a new company, but also a new type of company.
The organizational form of companies is not unfamiliar with the most conservative Saxon in today's Asturias and even other countries. Merchants are also accustomed to this new type of business organization model because they can cooperate better than the traditional model, and the forms of rights and responsibilities are relatively clear, but the premise is that there must be a certain cooperation in the political system. Otherwise, even if the rights and responsibilities are clearly distinguished, but when they encounter unreasonableness, the interests of merchants will still not be protected.
Therefore, with the development of business, businessmen from all countries are hoping to make louder voices, improve politically, and become more and more active.
In Asturias's record, Chuangshen Consulting Co., Ltd. is a relatively mysterious company because some of the information is confidential. In addition to the external legal representative, the internal structure of its company is secretive and internal shareholders are very secretive.
However, the scope of this company can be covered is very wide, almost all fields, and can be involved in any industry. Of course, this kind of entry is only one of the two coordinates, and the other coordinate limits the company's business scope not to compete with other companies, but to choose to serve other industries.
Consulting is a new type of industry. From the birth of this company, it seems to be destined to be a little difficult, because people's acceptance of new things always has a process.
For example, the scope and content of Chuangshen Company's consultation includes "judging pulses" for other companies, clarifying their development problems, and proposing a complete set of solutions. This is the company's record in the registration information.
But it is difficult for other companies or business groups to consult them because it is equivalent to revealing their shortcomings, especially those more conservative families and their related business groups. Even some businessmen in the countries who tend to "reform" are concerned about this kind of consultation.
So although this company has been established for half a year, it has not completed a large business yet. It is said that it has helped several workshop owners and small businessmen solve the dilemma in Asturias.
But this company is quite strong, because not only did not retreat because it did not retreat, but instead sent people to other countries to prepare for development.
Murphy was stationed in the Zhendan Kingdom as a share capital consultant of Chuangshen Co., Ltd.
The Zhendan Kingdom is now in a turmoil. The old king Harrison entered the twilight period of his life. Not only was he weak in energy, but he was also not in good health. His old injuries had relapsed before destroyed his health. Even the quasi-legendary strong man could not resist the threat of death. He had a son in his later years and his heir was not yet adult.
In the past, he could hold back the situation, but with his old injury recurring last year, the kingdom was already in a turbulent tide.
Murphy has begun to be popular in the capital of the Zhendan Kingdom. Today he can attend this gathering with a "classical" style compared to Asturias, which means that someone is willing to introduce him to the noble circle of the Zhendan Kingdom.
As for the reason, of course, the Earl Roger, who followed his advice and made money, acted as a guide.
Four months ago, Count Roger's trading caravan was robbed by orc robbers and suffered heavy losses. Not only did he lose his goods, but he was also responsible for compensating for the losses caused to the other party due to the inability to fulfill the contract. Unfortunately, his "business" in the interplanar colony of the Zhendan Kingdom also had problems.
So Count Roger's economy fell into a difficult situation. When he was in such a turmoil, someone introduced him to Murphy, an investment consultant of Chuangshen Co., Ltd.
Then at Murphy's suggestion, he spent all his bets on Asturias' stock market and futures.
As a result, he made a lot of money back, which made Earl Roger immediately honor Murphy as a guest of honor.
Within the next two months, Count Roger became Murphy's first big customer in the Kingdom of Sindan, and followed Murphy's advice to withdraw funds from the risky financial market and instead prepare to invest in manufacturing, which is now under preparation.
It must be said here that Count Roger is the southern noble in the Kingdom of Zhendan.
The king Harrison and the royal family, who relapsed due to the resentment of old injuries, had more support from the north. (To be continued.)
