Li Xuan was really speechless. He didn't have a unified opinion within himself, so why should he discuss it with Skyscraper? Isn't this a joke?
If Li Xuan had encountered this kind of thing, he would have rolled up his sleeves and left long ago! "Ahem..." Li Xuan coughed dryly, "Miss Sang Jingyu, please wait a moment, let me figure out the situation first."
As he spoke, Li Xuan looked at the adjutant: "Everyone has any opinions. Let's hear them."
The adjutant gave a brief introduction.
In fact, it is no different from what the regent said before, except that he is somewhat dissatisfied with the mortgage required by the Skyscraper Chamber of Commerce.
The requirements of the Ferris Chamber of Commerce are very clear, which is to use the customs duties and import and export trade rights of the two eastern and northern provinces as collateral.
The attitude of the imperial officials was also very clear. Customs duties could be mortgaged, but import and export trade rights could never be let go.
Tariffs are a channel for collecting money. If this is used as collateral, officials will all agree and will not obstruct it too much.
However, import and export trade rights are different. It is equivalent to an administrative power and involves too many interests in all aspects.
On this matter, the officials' opinions are very unified, absolutely not! However, there are some differences among the officials. For example, some people think that trade rights cannot be mortgaged, but the Ferris Chamber of Commerce can be given franchise rights or special passes. In short, as long as Ferris
If the Chamber of Commerce is willing to lend money to the empire, it can do business in the empire's territory in the future.
Others believe that power should never be given casually.
Otherwise, there is a Motian Chamber of Commerce today, there may be a Modi Chamber of Commerce tomorrow, and there may be a Moyun Chamber of Commerce the day after tomorrow. In short, this precedent cannot be set, otherwise chaos will definitely occur.
The father-in-law is right and the mother-in-law is right. Anyway, everyone has their own interests. If they keep arguing with each other, no one can convince the other.
Li Xuan just listened to a few words and felt that his head was going to explode.
It's really embarrassing for him to get involved in such political entanglements.
When Li Xuan was in the immortal world, he just practiced not to get involved in messy things. Anyway, as a Daluo Jinxian, no one would take the initiative to trouble him as long as he didn't meddle in his own business.
After his rebirth, Li Xuan was not willing to get involved in various power struggles.
When Kuixing Castle was in such trouble, he only fought back because he was forced to do so.
Li Xuan would rather fight with the Seven Evils Cult again than get involved in such a troublesome matter.
But the words of the regent are still in my ears, so I can't just run away like this, right?
Li Xuan thought for a while, whispered a few words to the adjutant, and then found an excuse to go to the toilet and slipped out of the venue.
After leaving the door, Li Xuan took out a communication crystal, whispered something into it, and then waited leisurely.
After a while, two officials with unpleasant expressions came out, walked up to Li Xuan, and said with an impatient expression: "Li Xuan, why did you ask us to come out?"
Li Xuan chuckled: "I just came here and I don't understand many things. I heard that you two are important figures in the negotiation team, so I plan to ask you for advice."
"What do you want to ask for? Hurry up and don't waste time and make the representatives of the Ferris Chamber of Commerce anxious."
One of the officials said with his nostrils turned upward.
Li Xuan cursed in his heart, you have been arguing for so long, Sang Jingyu has even looked in the mirror, how dare you say such things?
However, he put on a smile and said: "Actually, it's very simple. I just want to ask the two of you how we can reach a consensus.
If we can’t decide what kind of mortgage to give, why bother talking to Skyscraper?”
One person said: "Okay, as long as we give the Ferris Chamber of Commerce a franchise and a pass, I guess they will be willing to give up their import and export trade rights. By then, all problems will be solved!"
"Hey, Marquis Ruda said it so easily. He gave the concession and pass so casually, as if this country belongs to you!"
Another person sneered.
Marquis Ruda's expression changed: "Count Mowe, what do you mean?
Do you have any better way?"
Earl Mowe shrugged his shoulders and said: "In short, you cannot trade these powers, otherwise it will be seen as the empire's compromise to a company. This is a great shame!"
The two of them were talking about their own things, but after a disagreement, they started to quarrel again. Li Xuan did not stop the fight from the side, and looked lively with a smile on his face.
They were arguing happily when suddenly someone hurried over and handed a document to Li Xuan.
Li Xuan opened the file and looked at it for a few times, nodded slightly, cleared his throat and said: "You two, stop arguing!"
Luda and Mowei ignored Li Xuan at all and continued to quarrel, almost rolling up their sleeves and fighting.
Li Xuan's face darkened, and he shouted sternly: "I said stop arguing, are you two deaf?"
This time, both of them closed their mouths and stared at Li Xuan angrily.
"What are you looking at!"
Li Xuan snorted coldly and said, "Okay, I understand your opinion.
Now I tell you to listen!"
"For the rest of the negotiations, all listen to me. Shut up, both of you, and shut up your people.
If anyone dares to talk nonsense, don’t blame me for being rude!"
"What!"
Luda and Mowe couldn't help laughing as if they had heard a fantasy, "Who do you think you are, to threaten us?
Let me tell you, even the regent would not dare to do this!"
"The regent is a regent, and he still needs nobles like you, so I ignore him.
I am me, and my mission is to negotiate the loan as soon as possible. Anyone who dares to hold me back is my enemy!"
Li Xuan smiled.
Luda said grimly: "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense! Are you sure you want to be our enemy?"
"Why not?"
Li Xuan said, "Marquis Luda, I already know why you must mortgage the concession and pass, because your family has always had business dealings with the Ferris Chamber of Commerce, especially in the northern provinces, where 40% of the shops of the Ferris Chamber of Commerce are
They both rented your family's property, and the two families also developed three mines together.
Is what I said correct?"
"If the Ferris Chamber of Commerce obtains the import and export trade rights, it will not be so dependent on your family, so you are firmly opposed to the mortgage trade rights.
But you strongly advocate giving concessions and passes, so that the Ferris Chamber of Commerce will have to vigorously develop business in the north, and your family will also take advantage of the opportunity! Wow, your participation in this negotiation is really a matter of both public and private matters.
Don’t delay!”
After Li Xuan finished speaking, Luda's face turned pale and he said in surprise: "You...how do you know this!"
Li Xuan ignored Luda's question and looked at Mo Wei.
Mo Wei was startled: "What do you want to do?"
Li Xuan smiled and said: "Nothing, I just want to talk about your family, Count Mowe.
You are so opposed to granting the franchise, are you not acting out of public conscience?
The reason is also very simple. Your family monopolizes franchises in several industries in the Eastern Province. If the Ferris Chamber of Commerce obtains the franchise, it will form a direct competitive relationship with your family, so you are opposed! What I said
