PNB Chapter 329 Symbiosis and Win-Win
Chapter 329 Symbiosis and Win-Win
"Role? Can I understand it as position?"
Liz didn't know why the young city lord asked her this question.
“No, it’s the role.
What I want to ask is, next, Tomba joins the war preparations as the first business family in the North;
Or the people of Huiyao City...
You know, the roles are completely different.”
Liz was silent for a moment.
The Tomba family is not without ambitions of their own.
How could a family without ambition try to get involved in the military trade?
But what Shuman said was equivalent to forcing Tomba to make a choice.
Either they completely break off relations, and these two huge arms dealers in the North confront each other head-on;
Or they could submit to Xiuman and act under the instructions or even orders of the Huiyao family.
No matter which one is chosen, it will squeeze Tomba's benefits and slow down the development of the entire family.
Seeing the struggle of the blonde girl opposite him, Xiuman began to further explain his plan.
“Miss Lizzie, we have a mutual friend who has expressed a very peculiar view;
And I have been thinking about the feasibility of this view. ”
"Mutual and friends?"
Xiuman nodded, but did not immediately tell Liz who this friend was.
“He believed that all species were interconnected within a limited living space.
For example, some herbivores will eat vegetation, and then they will be hunted and eaten by carnivores...
But often when two carnivores of similar size meet, they will fight to the death.
This is because their living spaces overlap.
The druids in the Gray Forest consider this relationship a source of natural competition."
Liz raised her beautiful eyes. She now had a complete idea of who the friend the young city lord was referring to was.
“So it is the same among intelligent species.
The pie of the North's military trade is only this big. If Toumba insists on inserting a knife into it, the interests of the Huiyao family will be damaged, because this living space is also limited."
When Liz heard this, her expression became very ugly.
For her, this sentence was equivalent to a signal to start a war.
Although Tomba has a lot of political resources, they are definitely not as good as Xiuman, the city lord.
The main administrative organs of the city are under the direct control of the City Lord's Mansion. The councillors who manage the Textile Association, the Maid Association and the like are far less powerful than the City Lord's Mansion.
It is said that the Huiyao family also has the power to mobilize the power of the Temple of Tyr.
Those temples of Tyr are not only populated by a group of good-looking paladins, but also believers spread all over the city.
After Tomba experienced Nield's harassment and defense operations, nearly half of its elite soldiers who were able to fight were consumed;
The salaries and pensions paid to maintain these two wars also consumed a large amount of the Tomba family's reserve funds.
If Huiyao went to war with Tomba at this time, whether it was a political confrontation or a commercial confrontation...
Even if they each gathered a group of people to fight, I'm afraid Tomba would not be their opponent.
Taking a sip of the tea, Xiuman looked at Liz's reaction and raised his eyebrows playfully.
His throat rolled, letting the lavender-scented tea slide across the root of his tongue, and then he said to Liz:
“But if Huiyao were to unleash his power to devour Tomba now, it would probably consume a lot of the city’s strength.
If there is another plane war, I am afraid none of us will be able to escape the slaughter of alien creatures.
Fortunately, our friend gave a different answer. ”
Xiuman stood up and walked to the bookcase behind him, looking for something while continuing.
"Instead of natural competition and life-and-death struggle, let's seek a symbiotic relationship.
Ahaha, found it! "
Shuman found a letter from a thick book and handed it to Liz.
“This is the information that my Faceless Men—well, now that there are no Faceless Men—my subordinates gathered from the capital.
The buyers who appeared in Tomba are actually all from the royal capital, right?
No need to answer. I know their identities better than you do. They came to me not long ago to give me a few warnings.
This is a way for those royal nobles to restrain Huiyao, and this plan probably started when my father was young.
Rather than fighting you to the death, we should take good care of the North's military industry... what's the word...
Hmm... I remembered it, let me upgrade it.
Yes! It’s an upgrade! "
"upgrade?"
"Yes, the new word I learned from that friend is to make the product look different and then make the pie bigger..."
Sitting back at the desk, Xiuman picked up the cup of black tea and motioned to Isa, who was standing at the door and rubbing her dagger from time to time, to give him a refill of black tea.
"It's so big that neither Toomba nor Huiyao can eat it."
"what?"
Liz was stunned for a moment, and then she immediately realized what Shuman was referring to.
"You mean, those new weapons that appeared on the Nield battlefield will..."
"Shh-"
Xiuman suddenly leaned forward, raised his finger, and blocked Liz's mouth.
"Just understand it yourself. The monitoring spell is not something particularly difficult to learn."
Liz, who had already begun to consider whether to give up the military industry market, suddenly understood Shuman's plan.
Neild's iron ore industry is now firmly controlled by Ivan, but Ivan seems to have no interest in it.
This mysterious and powerful human has disappeared.
As an old military-industrial family, Huiyao possesses more sophisticated forging techniques than those Nield people.
It is said that these two people often did some improper things together when they were young...
If at this time, Shuman could win over Tomba and possess stronger business capabilities than before;
That means that these new weapons will quickly occupy the market of the entire human kingdom like stars appearing out of nowhere.
This is not comparable to the current orders for Tomba to customize armor and swords.
Liz, who had figured it out, curled the corners of her mouth and looked into Xiuman's eyes very seriously.
If this is the case, the relationship between Toumba and Huiyao will become interdependent.
"This is what our druid friend called symbiosis, right?"
Liz picked up the completely untouched teacup and took a sip.
Retracting his fingers, Xiuman raised the teacup and gestured to Liz across the desk.
"In business, I prefer to call this a win-win situation."
