30 Father and Son

The industrial revolution marked by the birth of flying technology not only changed the war model between countries, but also caused great changes in the form of commercial trade. Relying on the convenience of airships, merchants can travel around the world more conveniently than ever before. Those traders with the blood of adventurers and merchants flying their own airships, bringing back precious goods from distant places that people could not imagine in the past, and earning huge wealth that people could not imagine in the past.

Of course, the sky is dangerous. The high altitude near the Floating Island is the kingdom ruled by the dragons. For any aircraft, it is a magic domain that must not be approached. Although the airship cannot reach that height at all, even at a low altitude close to the ground, it is possible to encounter high-level monsters falling from the sky, as well as air thieves that are far more frequent than monsters. In addition, there are heavy rains and hurricanes that often rage at low altitudes.

For traders who cross the sky with just one airship, no matter which of the above situation is a catastrophe.

The lucky ones who are loved by the sky are only a few of them. For most losers, they usually have only three outcomes: either they become bait for monsters or prey for sky pirates. The most unlucky situation is to be torn apart by a storm and dissipate in the airspace where they don’t even know their names.

Although the sky is so dangerous, the successful examples that traders have never lacked, but have constantly inspired more brave people to challenge the sky, one after another, and a steady stream of success.

In such an era, it can be said that almost every successful chamber of commerce has a legendary history of making a fortune, and among these tough traders, the Gren Chamber of commerce is a very special exception.

Like most chambers of commerce, the Green Chamber of commerce is also the family tradition of the Green family. However, the difference is that the Green family does not have any legendary adventure history, and its family members do not have the temperament of an adventurer. Compared with most of their peers, the Green family is more like a traditional merchant. The Green Chamber of commerce is mainly engaged in special products trade between the Kingdom of Lavelis and the Northern Continent. This is a trade route with relatively low risks but not high profits. It is difficult for traders who pursue a fortune-telling.

The Gren family chose this stable and low-reward trade route. With its steady and diligent classical style, it took several generations to develop the Gren Chamber of Commerce to its current scale. It is also because of this that although the Gren Chamber of Commerce is still the top ten large chambers of commerce in the kingdom, it has always been regarded as cowardly and incompetent in the eyes of other peers.

Hagen, the current president of the Gren Chamber of Commerce, was very distressed by the lack of a voice in every joint meeting, so he found a way to change this situation.

Hagen has two sons, the eldest son is Ivan and the second son is Yili. He sent his eldest son Ivan to the Air Force School in the Northern Continent, and left his second son Ivan with him to learn to inherit the family business. Hagen's plan is that if Ivan inherits the family business, if Ivan can become a glorious air rider again, the Gren family can shine.

Judging from the letters sent by Ivan regularly, the eldest son of the Gren family was not proud of his family's air force in the Northern Continent. Hagen's wish to be successful may not be far from realizing it. Despite this, Hagen did not feel much frustrated. He mocked himself that perhaps the Gren family was born to do business, and at this point, the second son Yili provided the most powerful evidence for his confidence. Yili began to learn to manage the family business at the age of twelve. After more than ten years of careful training by his father, he has become a young man, so that Hagen still has to listen to his son's opinions on many things about the chamber of commerce.

Now, the affairs of the Gren Chamber of Commerce are basically handled by Yili, while Hagen is more like serving as honorary president. Although this kind of strong son and weak father may cause various troubles in other family words, since Hagen is not the kind of person with strong ambitions in personality, he enjoys the growth of his son. Hagen recently was planning to find time to formally hand over the Chamber of Commerce to Yili, and then go to the northern continent to see how Ivan's future is.

However, something unexpected and the serious consequences of this incident forced him to temporarily give up his idea of ​​retirement.

The Gren Chamber of Commerce's guild hall is located in the central block of Second Avenue in Linger City. It is a three-story brick building. Although it is not so grand compared to other guild halls that often have four or five floors around, the ability to have a place in the central block where every inch of land is enough to prove the extraordinary strength of the Gren Chamber of Commerce.

There are three floors from bottom to top. The bottom floor is a warehouse for stacking goods and a parking lot for carriages. For the need for carriages to enter and exit, the parking lot of the Grayne Chamber of Commerce is quite spacious, enough to accommodate ten carriages to park at the same time, but now it is crowded because a large number of carriages that are more than twice the standard are poured in. More than twenty carriages are crowded in the narrow parking lot. The neighing sounds of horses and the angrily shouts of people are mixed together. The chaotic scene makes the passers-by stunned.

Through the window of the president's room on the third floor, Hagen clearly saw the chaotic scene in the parking lot below. He tried hard to identify the chamber of commerce signs on the carriage. When he saw more than 20 chambers of commerce with names on the Second Avenue, all of them gathered at the Granne Chamber of Commerce, even the mature and stern, he couldn't help but look pale in fear.

"What...what...what should I do...why did things turn out like this..."

Hagen sat down, stood up again, ran to the window and looked down secretly, and then turned around the room, showing a panic look of silence.

"Dad, you don't have to be so panicked..." The one who comforted him was the young man in white sitting on the sofa next to him. Looking at his father's panic, the second son of the Gran family showed a very sorry expression. "Don't worry, under the current situation, they only complain at most and dare not do anything out of order."

"That's right, more than 20 chambers of chairmen came over at the same time... to raise an army to ask for guilt. This kind of thing has never happened before..." Hagen was so nervous that he held his hands together, but he still couldn't calm down. "I said Yili, how could you do such a thing? Just the Gren Chamber of Commerce is forgot, but it actually involved all chambers of commerce on Second Avenue. This... is it too bold, right?"

"No, that, I was not the one who made the decision..." Recalling the scene at that time, Yili couldn't help but smile bitterly. "And, that Mr. Baixiang is also my life-savior, and he can't ignore it."

"Is your life-saving benefactor... Then there is nothing we can do. After all, our family motto is 'repaying for kindness'..." Hagen breathed helplessly, but then he became panicked. "But what should I do now? Those people are waiting below. If they are not careful, the Gren Chamber of Commerce will... be in big trouble in the future?"

"That's right, let's go down and listen to their complaints, but..." Yili scratched her face and stood up from the sofa, but couldn't help looking at her father with worried eyes. "Dad, are you okay? If you feel you can't handle it, you can stay here?"

"Um..." Hagen hesitated seriously for a few seconds about his son's suggestion, and finally raised his chest and said, "No, I want to go down. Don't underestimate your father. No matter what, my father has been fighting in the mall for decades. He has much more experience in dealing with this kind of scene than you, so... uh, I will help you, so you can play freely."

There was a serious lack of confidence in Hagen's words. Although Yili noticed this, he couldn't say anything else. He smiled bitterly and pushed open the door of the president's office and greeted his father with a respectful attitude.

"Then, let's go down, dad."

………………………………………

The second floor of the Gren Chamber of Commerce Hall includes two parts: the staff room and the conference room. In addition to being a place for business meetings, the conference room also serves as a welcome room for guests. Because the conference room is equivalent to the face of the Gren Chamber of Commerce, presidents of all generations have made great efforts to decorate it. The result of spending a lot of money and time makes this conference room not magnificent, at least magnificent, and is one of the few parts in the Gren Chamber of Commerce Hall that can be shown off.

As for now, its function as a welcome room is facing the biggest challenge in history.

Ryanhart Central Chamber of Commerce, Bedian Effit Trade Union, Ziegfei Trading Company, Mida Maiya Qianjin Club... These business giants who are powerful in the business world of the Kingdom are now gathering in the conference room of the Grayne Chamber of Commerce, all of whom are murderous.

The incident that happened in the Heraldry House and the fact that the Iserre family and the Prime Minister's Sect first clashed with the Prime Minister's Sect were learned that night by the merchants. Of course, the news that the son of Green participated and forged the love letter also reached the merchants' ears at the same time, and as the Duke expected, it caused an uproar among the merchants - these cunning and far-sighted Chamber Presidents were kicked out of the position of watching the tiger's fight by the son of Green in the blink of an eye, and had to be in a situation where they were enemies with the Prime Minister's Sect.

After learning this shocking news, the Chamber of Commerce Presidents fell into a long shock without exception, and after the shock, they were angry. No businessman was willing to be an enemy of the Prime Minister's Sect, but neither the Uncrowned Wang family with deep roots or the Prime Minister's Sect was able to deal with it. After repeatedly calculating all the losses of interests, the Chamber of Commerce, who were dragged into the water by Green's son, made the choice to sue the Grane Chamber of Commerce, so there was a spectacular scene where more than 20 carriages on the first floor of the guild were crowded into a mass.

The Chamber of Commerce all came with anger. Perhaps their anger had reasons, but for the poor Granine Chamber of Commerce staff, this was an unrestrained disaster. They didn't know what happened, but they saw these powerful figures in the kingdom's business circle rushing towards them with murderous intent, and they were all scared and lost their minds and even forgot the most basic etiquette. As a result, more than 20 Chamber of Commerce presidents, including nearly a hundred followers, were crowded in the narrow conference room. After half a day, there was no one to deliver tea.

Naturally, the anger of the Chamber of Commerce became even stronger.

"...Yili, really...is it really okay?"

Peeking through the crack of the door, Hagen subconsciously swallowed and asked Erie.

"Well, I think it should be..." Yili scratched her hair, looking like she lacked confidence, but she didn't look much panic.

If it were a week ago, no matter how outstanding the son of the merchant was, he would probably be shaken. However, since he met Qilin, Yili was frightened by all kinds of people, especially after the thrilling experience of breaking into the Emblem Court last night. Although it cannot be said that it was a blessing in disguise, it did raise the courage of the merchant's son to another level. Although the more than 20 chamber presidents in front of him were coming in full force, could they still be more powerful than the general military police officer who held the sword of law? What's more, the location was still in his own guild hall.

Under Hagen's nervous gaze, Yili gently pushed open the door of the conference room.

While the door was pushed open, a hot flash air mixed with sweat odor rushed towards the two of them like substance, just like the hostility brewing in the room was manifested in reality. Hagen's face turned pale in an instant, while Yili took a step back, suffocating with his hands in front of him as if he couldn't stand it.

Hearing the movement at the door, the Chamber of Commerce Presidents who were originally staring at each other turned their heads and looked at the two of them. Nearly a hundred eyes gathered on the Gren and his son. The anger that was originally seeking a criminal offense and the suffocation he had put out in this small conference room, the Chamber of Commerce Presidents' eyes turned red like bloodshot, and they stared at the two of them with murderous aura.

If the eyes can hurt people, then Erie and Hagen may have been cut into minced meat.

"Um..." Yili scratched her face in confusion. Although the Chamber of Commerce presidents had not spoken yet, looking at the sinister expressions on their faces, even the stupidest person should know their purpose.

"Sir, please be careful not to be impatient." After a while of worries, Yi used the most ordinary words to make an opening remark.

"I already know your purpose. In fact, I have a few words to explain to you about yesterday's incident..."

At this moment, a "plop" sounded, interrupting Yili's prepared draft. He looked at his side with an unstoppable look of surprise.

I saw that the President Gren Chamber of Commerce, who could not bear the hostility of the crowd, fell to the ground and lowered his head to apologize first.

"I'm sorry! I'm very sorry! This is because the dog son's proposition is arguing for you, and I'm here to apologize to you! As a father, I'm not strict in discipline, and I'll take all the responsibilities! I just want you all to give up your hands and forgive the dog son's temporary misfortune! I am willing to do something like a cow or a horse to repay you for your kindness in the next life! And..."

The Chamber of Commerce Presidents looked at the President of Gren, who apologized with a dazed expression, and even Yili couldn't help looking at his father with an extremely weak look.
