Chapter 302 [Chamber of Commerce Alliance] [Internal Auction]
"Whatever the relationship is, it's my personal business, right?"
Xia En glanced at Alessio with a little coldness and said.
He was a little puzzled by the abnormal attitude of Daisy and her brother. Didn't he just say a few more words to Jane? Why did the two siblings react so strongly?
Daisy also realized that their behavior was a bit "boundary-less", so she said sincerely.
"Sorry, we are abrupt."
"But, do you really not know the reputation of the administrator lady?"
Xia En had a strange expression.
He knew much more than Daisy and her brother. He knew that Jane was a half-elf, that she was the granddaughter of the elf princess Anqi, and even that she was the [Lady of Tranquility] of the [Truth Society].
But this kind of thing, how can you just say it casually?
Xia En had to ask: "What reputation?"
"She is already a legendary figure in our [Liuli Island]."
Daisy carefully glanced in the direction of the secret room, as if she was worried that her words would be heard by Jane.
"To be honest, I've never seen Ms. Administrator so enthusiastic about anyone, so I find it very strange."
"By the way, you must have heard of the prophecy of the second world-destroying flood, right?"
"The S3 file was translated and cracked by Ms. Administrator!"
Xia En nodded: "Oh, I see."
With the identity of [Lady Quiet] of [Truth Society], translating such confidential documents does not seem to be a strange thing for Jane.
Daisy and the others looked even stranger.
This Captain Xia En is too generous, isn't he?
But at this time, Xia En didn't want to dwell too much on this topic, so he just spoke directly.
"I want to buy a batch of special extraordinary materials. I wonder if you have relevant channels?"
"If the price is right, I am willing to give a reward as a thank you."
Xia En was unfamiliar with [Liuli Island]. Instead of looking around like a headless fly, it would be better to rely on Daisy and her brother, a pair of "local snakes", to improve efficiency a lot.
When it comes to serious matters, Daisy's expression also became serious and asked.
"Do you just want to buy, or do you have other goods to sell?"
"Both selling and buying."
Xia En had thought it through now. With his current wealth, it was obviously unrealistic to buy all the materials on the list.
Besides, the disaster of the second flood was imminent.
The materials in the [Rhine Secret Realm] were stored anyway, so it was better to cash them out as soon as possible and use them to upgrade the hulls of the [Black Swan] and [Diamond Star].
Before going to the [Cold Sea], he should improve his overall quality as much as possible.
If there are ready-made resources, they should be used.
Xia En didn't want to become a tragic situation of "people died, but the money was not spent yet".
Hearing this, Daisy touched her smooth chin and thought: "In this case, the internal auction held by the [Chamber of Commerce Alliance] should be more suitable for you."
"[Chamber of Commerce Alliance]? Internal auction?"
Xia En heard this for the first time and couldn't help but feel curious.
Daisy did not hide it and explained: "The commercial trade of [Liuli Island] is extremely developed. Even [Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce] cannot completely take up the trading share of these ports."
"Therefore, several chambers of commerce of different sizes were born on [Liuli Island]."
"However, the chambers of commerce are not hostile to each other. In addition to a certain degree of competition, they have established deep connections and cooperative relationships."
"And the union formed by these chambers of commerce is the [Chamber of Commerce Alliance]."
"In fact, many rules of the various chambers of commerce in the Seven Seas are now formulated by the [Chamber of Commerce Alliance]."
Xia En suddenly felt that he had learned something new.
In a highly developed commodity economy, it will indeed trigger changes in systems and organizations.
It can only be said that [Liuli Island] is worthy of being one of the most prosperous islands in the Federation, and it can always do something new.
Then, Shane asked again: "What does the internal auction mean?"
"Because some precious commodities are scarce in the Seven Seas and in short supply."
"As internal staff of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance and big figures in the Federation, they often have the right of priority acquisition."
"This is the origin of the internal auction."
"These commodities will enter the market and be open to ordinary customers after they fail to be sold."
Daisy's attitude was very calm: "Only those who have obtained permission from the [Chamber of Commerce Alliance] are allowed to participate in this auction."
Shaen looked enlightened and was not too surprised.
The privileged class will exist in any era.
The internal auction of the [Chamber of Commerce Alliance] is prepared for these people.
Thinking of this, Shane was a little confused: "But I don't have permission from the [Chamber of Commerce Alliance]. How can I participate in this auction?"
Daisy smiled slightly and said: "In fact, my family has some foundation in [Liuli Island], and there are just a few seats for participating in the internal auction."
Hearing this, Shane didn't react, but Alessio on the side looked at Daisy in surprise.
"Sister? You..."
The seat of the internal auction is not a piece of cake, even for their family, it is not something that can be lent out casually.
Daisy shook her head at Alessio and interrupted what he wanted to say.
Alessio could see from the look in his sister's eyes that she was serious, so he had to shut his mouth unwillingly.
Shayne raised his eyebrows, but he did not show a happy expression, but a little alert.
"Then may I ask, what is the price of borrowing this seat?"
He is no longer the innocent boy in the past, and does not believe that there is goodwill without reason in the world.
Especially the matter of borrowing the auction seat has obviously exceeded the relationship of "Carles' friend".
Daisy was not annoyed by Shane's vigilance, but said bluntly.
"You can regard this as my investment in you on behalf of our family."
"I am optimistic about your future development and am willing to provide you with some help within my ability."
"And if our family is in trouble in the future, please come to help."
Shayne's expression became more and more strange: "Are you... sure?"
The requirement for borrowing the auction seat is just this?
This constraint condition can be said to be as loose as it can be, and it even depends on Shane's own moral level.
If he is a scumbag with a wolf's heart and a dog's lungs, it is possible to bite Daisy's family back.
Daisy nodded solemnly: "I'm sure."
In fact, there is a deeper reason why Daisy made this decision---
Not only did Karles believe in Shane, but even the lady administrator of the library looked at Shane differently.
Daisy thought that her vision and pattern were not as good as those of the two of them, and that was why she was willing to trust their judgment.
Since both of them valued Shane so much, if she added a little more chips, she wouldn't lose too badly, right?
"If you still don't believe it, why not sign a contract and a written agreement?"
"No, no need."
Although he didn't know what Daisy was thinking, Shane did feel her sincerity and said directly.
"Since you choose to trust me, I will naturally not let you down."
After finalizing the general direction of the cooperation, Shane began to confirm many details of the auction.
"Please prepare a warehouse, I will place the goods to be sold there."
"In addition, I hope you can help me contact a reliable federal official, preferably a staff member in charge of paleontology and new species."
"I have important intelligence and a batch of new species to exchange for merits."
...
...
Soon, facing Shane's request, Daisy and Alessio also showed their shrewd and capable side.
In fact, the siblings were already the best among young people to be able to serve as captains in the waters near [Liuli Island] at such a young age.
Whether it is figure, appearance, family background, or ability, they are far ahead of their peers.
Just compared with Shane, they seem a little dull.
So much so that Daisy and the others forgot that Shane was actually a few years younger than them.
At the same time, the power of Daisy's family gradually came into play.
All the needs raised by Shane can basically be met quickly.
And some links that were originally easy to get stuck, as if they were dredged by an invisible big hand, passed easily.
If Shane had handled it himself, I don't know how much time would have been wasted.
One can't help but sigh that the taste of power is indeed very wonderful.
It was not until then that Shane knew that Daisy's full name was -
Daisy Moriarty!
The family of their siblings was the Moriarty family!
And the legendary federal chief was the first head of this family.
No wonder Daisy's tone was a little strange when she mentioned Wayne Moriarty before, and she even called him "old man".
I think the descendants of the Moriarty family probably have very complicated feelings about this elusive ancestor.
On the one hand, they don't want Wayne to be dead.
But on the other hand, if Wayne is not dead, why doesn't he come to the family to report that he is safe?
At least let their own family know.
This feeling of being neither up nor down is even more uncomfortable.
However, this is the family affair of the Moriarty family, and Shane neither cares nor has the qualifications to care.
Not long after.
Shane got his first merit from the federal government.
A full 500 points.
This huge sum of money came from the intelligence Shane provided to the federation.
Including the location of the [Ember Treasure] in [Coral City], a detailed treasure map, and the specific situation of the [Ember Treasure].
——This was a decision Shane made after careful consideration.
In terms of profit, it must be greater if he discovered the treasure himself and then handed over the ancient plant seeds to the federation.
But the current situation does not allow Shane to do so.
The disaster is coming soon.
The worst case scenario is that after the disaster, the [Ember Shelter] is directly destroyed. Isn't it a waste of effort?
And according to the federal official.
This merit is just a "down payment" for the intelligence.
The federation has special means of information transmission, and it is completely possible to directly notify the federal navy closest to [Coral City] to salvage.
After verifying the authenticity of the information provided by Shane, the Federation will also give a merit reward based on the type and quantity of seeds in the [Ember Shelter].
This is already a relatively humane way of handling it.
Shane guessed that this might also be the result of the Moriarty family's operation.
Not long after.
Shayne brought the federal official to the warehouse.
Just now, he brought more than a dozen unique animals and plants in the [Rhine Secret Realm] to the warehouse.
In addition, there are secret specialties such as [Rhine Mine].
Shayne mainly wanted to estimate the value of these materials so that he could choose the main products to sell.
This federal official is a capable woman with short black hair, black-framed glasses, and an ordinary appearance.
In the previous communication about the [Ember Treasure], her mood has been very stable, and she was not overly surprised, showing a very high level of professionalism.
In addition to the recommendation of Daisy's brother and sister, Shane has regarded her as a reliable partner, so he brought her to this warehouse.
However, as soon as she entered the warehouse door and saw several small animals inside, the contact person's eyes suddenly lit up, and her face flushed with excitement.
She hurriedly walked to an animal that looked like a rabbit but had a pair of sharp horns, and moved her hands up and down, weighed the weight, and even seemed to touch the rabbit's bell.
She muttered: "The hair is highly similar to that of ordinary wild rabbits... The eyes are dark brown..."
"The muscle and bone density is about 1.5 times, and the gravity environment in which it lives is somewhat different..."
"The reproductive system is healthy... It is not possible to confirm whether there is reproductive isolation for the time being, and it is best to conduct special tests..."
The rabbit huddled into a ball, and its furry body kept shaking.
Like a little girl who was stripped naked by a big man, she could only passively bear everything, looking very pitiful.
Shane looked at Daisy beside him with a strange expression: "What's wrong with her?"
Daisy was a little embarrassed and coughed twice: "Actually, Sophie is usually quite normal."
"It's just that she used to be a researcher at the Institute of Biology, and she has a great passion for this kind of animal."
While speaking, Daisy's eyes fell on the things displayed in this warehouse.
Just looking around, her eyes couldn't help but flash with a strange light.
These items may not be particularly exaggerated in terms of quality, but without exception, they are all things Daisy has never seen before.
This is incredible.
You know, Daisy has been helping out in the family chamber of commerce since she was eight years old.
She has a lot of knowledge about all kinds of goods and materials.
But these materials or creatures are all filled with a sense of strangeness and freshness.
They look similar to the things she knows, but they are fundamentally different.
It's like...
another world.
Daisy looked at Shane with strange eyes, and her curiosity kept growing.
Where did these things come from?
In her eyes, Shane's image became more and more mysterious.
