Realm of Power

In the conference hall, after hearing the fifth deacon Ferrando initiate the vote, after a few seconds of silence, Tamara was the first to raise her hand and sneered, "I, Tamara, agree to the change."

"The Harur branch followed Lady Tamara in agreeing to the changes."

"The Aaron branch followed Lady Tamara in agreeing to change. The voices resounded throughout the meeting room. More and more people raised their hands, and more people were watching. This meeting can be described as a twist. Those who attended the meeting were all deacons from each branch. To put it bluntly, they were businessmen. It was the nature of businessmen to wait for a price. Although the trump card played by Tamara's faction was shocking, People, but who knows what trump card Sokutus Stellan has? This woman has made comebacks at the last minute many times. It is said that this woman's background is from the Imperial side, but until now, no one knows exactly where it is. A military boss was able to reverse the situation with a decisive victory many times. How could this woman be a simple person who was just allowed to be slaughtered?

"It's really disappointing. I originally thought that everyone in the Business Alliance is the leading elite in the empire's business world. A small change only takes a few minutes. I didn't expect that what I saw was that not even a woman was as dull as me." A cold snort hit everyone's eardrums. Laker, the leader of the Northwest Army Flag Regiment, looked coldly at the entire venue, blazing with arrogance. His words also made everyone's expressions change.

Lecker's resolute attitude showed that the Northwest Army was determined to push Tamara to the position of Thirteenth Deacon this time.

Claire also glanced at Sokutus Stellan. This woman was even more beautiful than the outside world said. She was simply the ultimate interpretation of the word glamorous. Under the dark green dress, her slender and graceful figure looked as if she was in the cold winter. The white snow covering the ground is so beautiful and heart-stoppingly cold that it just appears. The situation where everything was going well was almost reversed,

But what's the use of this little bit of reversal?

The Business Alliance is still the temple in the hearts of businessmen. I just put a little pressure on them, and these people immediately turned into a bunch of weaklings. This is the strength of the Empire. The real masters of this country are the military, not to mention that the Northwest Legion is one of the five major legions of the empire. It has been the direct legion of the Falcon Emperor since the time when His Majesty the Falcon Emperor was the Grand Duke of Samour. Even the Royal Forest Army, which was once regarded as His Majesty the Emperor, is not inferior in any way to the other five legions. No matter how tough Sokutus Dailan's backstage is, can it still be bigger than the entire Northwest Legion?

Several deacons who originally wanted to wait for the price began to feel uneasy at this moment. One veteran deacon secretly felt bitter in his mouth and his eyes were complicated. Only now did he realize that the thirteenth deacon Sokutus Dailan was very important to business. What an important existence it is. Because of Sokutus Stellan, the Business Alliance has independent power. Otherwise, it would have been squeezed by various forces and ceased to exist. It would still be as huge as it is now.

Although Sokutus Stellan is arbitrary in some matters, he does not interfere with the normal operation of the business alliance. In some aspects, it even provides a stable environment for the development of the business alliance. Like now, he is just a member of the Imperial Party. Flag leader. It overwhelmed the entire Deacon Council. If higher-level military figures came, what autonomy would the Deacon Council have? The Northwest Army can do it for the first time, but what about the Central Army? What about the Southwest Army? Guards? What about the Admiralty? Anyone can come to the Business Alliance to get involved. Is it a business alliance or a business alliance?

In the era of Sokutus Stellan, even if Sokutus Stellan relied on the pressure of the military to control the Deacons, it still followed the rules of some businessmen. But now, the military directly intervenes without any regard for business rules. . A thorough struggle for power, this leader of the Leker Banner violently interfered in the meeting, and was completely forcing the operation of the Deacon Meeting. Once such an example occurs in the Deacon Meeting of the Business Alliance, future Deacon Meetings will probably be the result of the empire's military The interests of the forces are divided. Under the control of profit-seeking soldiers, how many years can the business alliance last?

Among the neutral deacons, some people began to raise their hands, and then two more deacons raised their hands. Adding the four deacons who previously belonged to Tamara, there were already seven out of the twelve deacons, which showed that even if the other deacons raised their hands, I don’t agree, and the change resolution has been passed. Although Sokutus Stellan is powerful, after all, he is a disgraced person who left the Business Alliance, and Tamara is now recruited to the Northwest Army as a backup. In terms of strength, even if it is comparable to the one in its heyday. Sokutus Stellan is not bad either

"Haha, that's right. It's just a change of resolution. Why waste so much time?" Claire saw that her words had such a big effect. The Imperial Business Alliance was known as a super business group covering the entire continent. , now it’s not like I can only tremble under my own feet,

Sokutus Stellan looked at all this with cold eyes. The business alliance grew up bit by bit in her hands. Every business route and every procedure of the meeting was her hard work. She was the best Several years of her youth were spent in business alliances, but now, here, she was completely devoted to herself. She had abandoned the business alliance that she had devoted all her energy to. At this moment, she clenched her hands under the table suddenly, and her fingers dug into the palms of her hands, causing bursts of tingling pain. She just watched calmly, looking at the pairs of hands like dense weeds. The same thing happened. In a trance, she heard the voice of host Ferrando, as if it was floating from the sky.

"The vote is over, and the total number exceeds one-half, and it is agreed to change the Thirteenth Deacon." Ferrando's voice fell, and the atmosphere in the whole room seemed to pause. Ferrando looked at Socutus with gloating. Dai Lan, this woman is also here today.

"Miss Dailan, why should you be angry? Just treat it as a farce. When I was in Ruidian, what I experienced was much bigger than this scene. At that time, the whole country called me a national traitor. "I am used to seeing strange disturbances. Plais' eyes were so bright and scary that he originally wanted to stand up. , finally held back, a mere district flag leader asked him to come forward. His brand, Plais, was too worthless. What kind of person he was, how could he not see that the damn fat man would turn himself into a man? Could it be that Rai was sent just for one or two military figures like Raiker? Who is he, Plais, just kidding? He is the former adjutant of the empire and holds the imperial government. Even the commanders of the five major armies need to be polite when they see him. For him, Plais, the pressure of the whole audience is said to be Lecker. He needs to be suppressed by himself, which is a bit of a promotion, compared with the lowest level that Plais knows is the deputy commander level. At most, it’s a bigger shrimp. It’s probably broken even before it’s pressed.

The meeting finally passed the first issue with difficulty, and the next one was basically the election of the new Thirteenth Deacon. In the end, there was no suspense. Tamara easily became the Thirteenth Steward of the Business Alliance. The pride on her face almost overflowed from her face. With that look on her face, Sokutus Stellan just pretended not to see it.

She and Prais were seated in the gallery. It is still the most biased kind. Now the entire business alliance thinks that Sokutus Stellan has lost power. There are always people who want to avenge their private revenge. Regarding this arrangement, Sokutus Stellan calmly accepted it, letting that The staff at the headquarters who wanted to avenge a public servant were surprised, but they felt relieved after thinking about it. This was already the case. Did they still think that when the Thirteenth Butler was in his prime, his tail could still reach the sky? Not long after the two people sat down. A meeting maid sent the text of the meeting. Stellan Sokutus glanced at the text, and suddenly paused for a moment. The anger on his face disappeared for a rare moment, and the corners of his pretty mouth turned up slightly.

"What's wrong?" Prais was sensitive to the changes in Sokutus Stellan.

"The fourth topic is to discuss the issue of the massive acquisition of Golden Tickets of the Business Alliance. The proposer is He Ruile." Sokutus Stellan chuckled softly. Seeing Plais's slightly confused expression, he explained, " This He Ruile is my confidant in the Business Alliance. There is no other issue. He just raised one issue. It is obviously arranged by someone. The Golden Ticket of the Business Alliance is business. The principal notes issued by the alliance represent the financial foundation and good reputation of the business alliance. To put it bluntly, the number of golden tickets issued by the business alliance can determine the amount of valuable goods that can be purchased from the business alliance. If you become a business alliance. Everyone knew that the golden ticket held by the Imperial Bank was enough to determine the life or death of the entire business alliance. I didn’t know what a wonderful expression they had at that time."

"I see"

Plais nodded. This is the real trump card in the hands of His Majesty Falcon. As long as this issue is discussed, the news that the Golden Ticket of the Business Alliance is controlled by the Imperial Bank will suddenly surface. The Imperial Bank can be said to shake the entire world without any effort. Lisbon trusted the business community, and also used the business alliance meeting to demonstrate strong financial resources that could shake the entire empire's business community, and then used this as an opportunity to quickly promote the Imperial Bank to the entire empire's business community. Within two or three years, the empire's business community was The National Bank will replace the Commercial Alliance and become the main recipient of capital loans for the Imperial merchants. Without a word, it will bring all the loan channels that the Commercial Alliance has spent countless efforts to build into the Imperial Bank's pocket. This pit will be dug. Yes, this is His Majesty Falcon's usual method of making people die without knowing. It seems that His Majesty Falcon has made up his mind to replace the Business Alliance with the Imperial Bank. If such a method is used, even if the Business Alliance is aware of it, it will There is no way to save the day

The topic of the meeting soon reached the third topic, which was about the business fluctuations in Lisbon. Tamara, who had just become the thirteenth deacon, coughed dryly and said with a gloomy pun.

"The Lisbonto incident seems to be a business conspiracy. In fact, some people in the Commercial Alliance responsible for maritime trade were absent from Lisbonto for a long time, which led to major mistakes. As a result, the Commercial Alliance suffered heavy losses. The importance of maritime trade, I believe you all know that in order to avoid such a situation from happening again, I think we should set up a dedicated The deputy deacon..." After hearing Tamara's suggestion, Tamara immediately looked at the fattest sea. Trade and the army all know who certain people are, a full-time deputy deacon. This is obviously to start arranging people before someone leaves.

“The position of Archdeacon has never existed before”

Some people among the deacons soon expressed their dissatisfaction. The ocean trade is so rich. Do you, Tamara, want to monopolize it alone? You can eat alone without fear of choking to death. What makes the deacons feel the most crisis is the new position of deputy deacon. If the marine trade can set up a deputy deacon, then other aspects can also be set up. This is simply a precursor to the plan to separate the deacons and carve up the marine trade. It's okay to take away the benefits of others, but it's definitely not okay to take away other people's rights.

"This matter is just a suggestion of mine. If you don't agree, forget it." Tamara's face changed. She would not let go when she saw the other deacons. She could only hold back the anger in her heart and said with a smile. He had already logged in. Now that we are the thirteenth deacon, we have the decision-making power of the entire meeting in our hands. It will not be difficult to win over these deacons one by one. There is no need to forcefully confront everyone in the meeting.

"Let's go next." Tamara waved her hand, indicating that the fifth deacon Ferrando could start the fourth topic. The fourth topic was exactly the issue raised by He Ruile about the large-scale acquisition of the Imperial Bank's gold notes. This As soon as the topic came up, the whole place was in an uproar. Even Tamara, who was very dissatisfied just now, was shocked by the document in her hand.

"No way, you are sure you have that many 80 million Business Alliance Golden Tickets."

The hands of a Business Alliance deacon holding the document trembled. The Lisbonto incident caused a large-scale devaluation of the Gold Tickets of the Business Alliance. Naturally, all the deacons knew about it, but at that time, everyone was trying to recover their losses and didn't pay much attention. This, the so-called fluctuation, is nothing more than It took more than a month to recover again. Who would have thought that in just one month, all 80 million Business Alliance gold tickets were swept away in the Inland Sea area. This value accounted for more than half of the Business Alliance gold tickets issued by the Business Alliance. After all, Who has such a big deal? Oh my God, what is this? . . . . . , not only the deacons' faces were pale, but also the provincial and branch ministers from all over the country were talking a lot, and their faces looked very heavy. Eighty million golden tickets, this is simply an astronomical figure. If the Lisbonto incident almost shook the foundation of the business alliance, and This time, even the bottom is wiped out,

"Deacon He Ruile, this should just be the normal circulation of the Golden Tickets of the Business Alliance. Whether it is 80 million or more, it should not be able to be absorbed by a certain business group. What do you mean by bringing this up?"

"Does the deacon of Horele Pavilion know who bought these golden tickets?" Tamara put down the document in her hand angrily. This Horele is so abominable. If you want to leave, forget it. Before leaving, you still released such a message. one thing,

I have spent so much energy and hard work, how can I get this. Just a crumbling mess? Thinking of this, Tamara felt like vomiting blood.

Tamara absolutely did not believe that anyone could take such a large amount of money alone. If He Ruile could not speak out, he could openly accuse He Ruile of being alarmist and take this opportunity to win the ocean trade in one fell swoop. Fatty meat

He Ruile rolled his eyes, stood up slowly under the watchful eyes of the general manager, took a deep breath and said, "As a business alliance deacon, I will naturally do my best to investigate this matter. It is because of this that I After being delayed for more than half a month in the southern part of the Inland Sea, my hard work finally paid off and I finally found out who swallowed the eight thousand gold tickets from the Business Alliance."

Hearing that He Ruile really knew, Tamara opened her mouth and didn't know what to say for a moment. In order to cover up the disappointment in his heart, he quickly asked, "Who is it?"

"Imperial Bank's 80 million business alliance gold tickets were all acquired by Imperial Bank." He Ruile looked pained, but actually he was laughing inside. Is it easy to pretend to be deaf and dumb? I finally heard your words. Come on, the Thirteenth Deacon is nothing. Even the Business Alliance has been cheated by others. Of course, He Ruile will not tell these idiots from the Business Alliance that you can’t afford to offend the person who really arranged the bargain hunting. To be continued .
