In this matter, he is the one in control.
Sure enough, it didn't take long before he saw a flash of light in the surroundings, and a burly man with a beard walked towards him.
Following closely behind him was Hans, who had been missing for some time.
Seeing this scene, he knew the main character had arrived.
"Kelly Merad, Mr. Caesar, I've heard of your great names for a long time."
Louis shook his hand and said:
"Gaius Julius Caesar, President Kelly, you're too kind."
The old fox and little fox exchanged a smile and sat on the sofa.
Kelly had thick, bushy eyebrows, perhaps due to his past as an adventurer. Although he was also an old fox, he asked questions with a unique adventurer's recklessness:
"Making the Adventurer Guild great again, I'm very interested in this topic, but how can I be sure you can represent Mayer Commerce Association."
Louis chuckled and said:
"Of course, I can't represent Mayer Commerce Association, but I know better than anyone what kind of cards Mayer Commerce Association holds now."
"I also have many opportunities to communicate with the higher-ups who can make Mr. Mayer sit down for this business."
"Of course, if we want to advance this matter, it depends on how the Adventurer Guild thinks. If you don't intend to, I can't interfere too much."
Listen.
What does it mean not to be a person?
Obviously, Louis wants to freeload the complete technology from the Adventurer Guild, but saying it like this makes it seem as if the Adventurer Guild is begging them to do something.
Kelly looked at this famous adventurer with another glance, and suddenly laughed loudly:
"Haha, Mr. Caesar made a valid point; indeed, we want to achieve further advancement in niche fields now."
- The implication is, he is willing to advance the high-level talks on Adventure Island for this opportunity.
Upon hearing this, Louis finally revealed a slight smile:
"Actually, Mr. Mayer has been seeking cooperation with more allies lately, but not many qualify to enter Mr. Mayer's list."
Hans, hearing this, was shocked, unable to resist interjecting:
"What qualifications?"
Louis smiled and said:
"Mr. Mayer wants to leverage the mobility networks of various forces to advance logistics transportation."
"We already have some names internally decided, Tulip, Bauhinia, and Golden Jasmine are already settled."
"Besides these, Wealth Can Reach God, Dragon Roar Commerce Association, Wind Chaser Commerce Association, Wangqi United Commerce Association, Sith Commerce Association, Steel United Commerce Association... he is considering whether to proceed."
Wealth Can Reach God Commerce Association comes from the Am Empire.
Dragon Roar Commerce Association comes from the Dragon Empire.
Wind Chaser Commerce Association comes from the Supreme Forest.
Wangqi United Commerce Association comes from the Tunisian Republic.
Sith Commerce Association comes from the Lokeshi Empire.
Steel United Commerce Association comes from Furnace Castle.
As each commerce association prepared for communication was mentioned, Kelly's eyes widened even further.
As if wanting to see through Louis' true nature under the armor.
"Really?"
"Really! I have good relations with Mr. Mayer since we're working under the same noble person, and these big commerce associations are the ones we're already talking or considering talking to."
Louis wasn't lying.
Mayer Commerce Association is trying to establish a somewhat inferior logistics system compared to the previous life but is already fast in this world.
This system cannot be controlled solely by Mayer Commerce Association.
An excellent and fast logistics transportation channel can actually be handled well in this world.
You can just run the teleportation array.
But the problem is, due to historical issues, it's as difficult as climbing the sky to operate the teleportation arrays in various countries today.
The approval process alone can make a person half-paralyzed.
After conducting some research, Louis can basically determine that to make supplies run smoothly, substantial cooperation from large institutions across the new continent is needed.
Those top commerce associations won't need much explanation.
They themselves have a large bulk of supplies transported, and by riding their express lanes, it can somewhat make up for Mayer Commerce Association's lack of transportation capacity.
However, differently from what he says, the difficulties met to advance the logistics transportation system are not small.
Other merchants aren't so easily convinced of his words.
But telling Kelly and Hans with this tone gave an air of "if you don't do it, there's always Parugan."
This guy played a linguistic trick.
Direct communication with those commerce associations wouldn't allow him to speak this way.
But the institutions he's connected with are not purely commercial.
He chuckled and said:
"In fact, institutions like Adventurer Guild, Mercenary Association, Thief Guild, Bard's Home were also considered by Mr. Mayer."
"But he still leans more towards cooperation with the commerce associations."
"But when I thought about it, although major commerce associations have traveled the continent for a long time and cover many regions."
"If we talk about mobility alone, how many commerce associations can match the adventurers' quick mobility in the Adventurer Guild?"
Kelly laughed loudly and said:
"In terms of personnel mobility, I can guarantee the efficiency of the Adventurer Guild is unmatched!"
Louis shook his head and said:
"But the volume of cargo you can move isn't much."
- These words are half true.
For the current Mayer Commerce Association, even a small advantage is like meat; if logistics management can speed up the industrial chain, even a small organization would be considered for cooperation.
But he is in a profit competition now, and certainly wouldn't say this outright.
Kelly looked at the adventurer Caesar, with an even brighter smile on his face:
"That's why you and I are meeting here!"
"Please, Mr. Caesar, communicate with Mr. Mayer on mutual benefit; the Adventurer Guild is more sincere than other institutions."
Louis took a sip of tea and said with a smile:
"Mayer Commerce Association has technology that can enhance your presence among both the masses and the strong mightily."
"But for now, I hope you can provide us with a complete technical blueprint for the related light and shadow pairing technology in the Adventure Island mission hall."
"The foundation of Adventurer Guild is still lacking; we need a way to improve your foundation."
"...Of course, sir, if you want Mr. Mayer to help you achieve these, you know what to do."
Kelly smiled and said:
"Of course, it requires extra funding."
Both the old fox and little fox showed pleased smiles on their faces.
Talking about money?
Talking about money ruins relationships, huh!
Each satisfies their own needs here.
It's a technical exchange between the parties.
Round it up, it's like mutual freeloading.
Of course... evidently, someone freeloads more.
After Louis left Adventure Island, Hans looked at his brother and said:
"We kind of got the short end of the stick in this transaction!"
Kelly shook his head and said:
"Where do you think we lost out?"
Hans thought for a moment and said:
"Mayer Commerce Association really needs the small-scale logistics transportation provided by the Adventurer Guild, we could earn more from it."
Kelly smiled and said:
"Do you know why I'm the president of the main association, and you're a branch president, criticized by others?"
Hans' face darkened immediately: "Why is there insinuation about me?"
Kelly snorted lightly and said:
"You need to understand our core goal."
"Right now, we need to stabilize the position of the Adventurer Guild and suppress our peers to prevent them from further intruding into our territory."
"I don't care how many of those commerce associations are truly ready to cooperate with Mayer Commerce Association, as Caesar said."
"But I need to prevent those peers like the Thief Guild from diluting our task pool."
"To ensure our dominance in this regard, even if it means suffering a loss, I must ensure cooperation with Mayer Commerce Association."
Hans fell into contemplation.
He felt that his brother was correct.
...
What they didn't know was that, on the other side, the consciousness body detached from Adventure Island returned and immediately headed for Mayer Commerce Association.
"Lord Rom, announce publicly that the Adventurer Guild is about to engage in deep cooperation with us on logistics transportation."
"Be sure to get this news to those commerce associations still hesitating; also, don't leave out peers like the Thief Guild!"
Louis logged off.
Mayer took the stage.
