Chapter 51 Black Gold Industry
Heijin Industry is a large chaebol with power all over the country.
In Dai Lin's understanding, Heijin Industry involves a very wide business scope. One is various magical items, magical animals, plants, high-value-added artworks, alchemy products, etc. The other is real estate and vulgar industries throughout the country, casinos, wine shops, hotels, and so on... many of them are shadows of Heijin Industry.
Black Gold Industry also has a very loud and notorious nickname: "Black Heart Industry". This is not only because the examples mentioned above are not very moral or legal, but also because they involve participating in "magical creature transactions" and even "sub-human transactions".
[Magic creature trading] is a very complex category. Many magical plants traded in magical creatures. If the magical animal specimens produced and collected by Jon are sold, they also fall into this category. Expand a little more, living snakes, water apes, and even most intelligent non-human creatures, such as the tree of wisdom, small spoons, and even the deer demons that Jon has looted, etc., all of them are handled in this category.
[Subhuman Trading] is a very, very special and complex type of [Magic Biology Trading].
From an ethical perspective, the legality and illegality of the above situations should be clear to a certain extent and have no suspense.
But in the laws of the continental human countries led by the Lionheart Kingdom, the provisions on the transaction of magical creatures are confused, or to some extent, anti-moral.
For example, magical plants other than strategic resources, such as Dailin's own collection, their transactions are often protected by national laws. This is easy to understand.
Tengsnakes are very cherished and are protected creatures in the Elf Kingdom. The hunting and trading of them are not legal in most countries - this is not difficult to understand.
But what happened next was a little strange.
For example, for the deer demon, the Elf Kingdom regards it as "national property" and prohibits [export]!
Yes, exports are prohibited. So Jon did things to the deer demon in the endless forest - not bound by the laws of the Elf Kingdom.
In other human countries, deer demons are neither regarded as [subhumans] nor are they rare [fantastic animals], so they are smuggled and sold even... anything you can think of is not illegal.
Races such as elves, orcs, werewolfs, sheepmen, and semi-crosses that cross each other are considered [wise humanoids] and are included in [subhumans], which means humans who are lower than humans.
In the laws of human countries, the attitude towards [subhumans] is: "The rights and interests of subhumans are exercised by their masters on their behalf. Subhuman transactions are subject to filing and management, and transactions with subhumans are prohibited." In addition, each country's respective "Subhuman Recognition Act" is prohibited.
Simply put, the human rights of subhumans start from the moment "they" have a Lord.
Why do Orange Moon and Leonardo think that the human world is "terrible"? Because the free elves walk on the streets, beating, scolding, murdered, and forced, have nowhere to seek justice. They can even be regarded as "ownerless things" and arrested and went to the government for registration.
Dwarves are the only subhumans not counted as [subhuman]. Because hundreds of years ago, when the dwarves kingdom was attached and integrated into the human kingdom, as a condition of dependence, the human king personally agreed to the dwarves king and no longer accepted the registration of the dwarves' soul contract recognition master.
But even so, in some extremely conservative countries, such as the Principality of Baratheon, there are occasional news that dwarves, especially female dwarves, are forced to become human slaves.
The Gray Fairy is the only [alien human] who is equivalent to humans in political status, and this is another story.
This law of the human kingdom has been protested by surrounding tribes and elves for many years, and the answer is always "the law of ancestors cannot be changed."
What kind of ancestral law cannot be changed? The core issue behind this logic is not morality or humanity at all, but humanity hopes that humans can continuously weaken the surrounding tribes with the help of this bill.
The surrounding tribes are actually aware of them, but they can do nothing.
One of Heijin Industry's major business is to poach the surrounding tribes, smuggle people and sell them to people in need at high prices in China. The crimes caused by subhuman human trafficking are numerous, and even normal humans think that this is not something humans do.
Gina was born as a half-orc, and of course she had no good impression of "Black Heart Industry".
☆☆☆
Heijin Industrial is very close to the government government hall in Yingji Fort's main office, which is the most prosperous area of Yingji Fort. Dai Lin first took Gina to the government hall to complete the last step of the [Sub-human transaction filing] procedures, tied his soul silk to Gina's, and then went to Heijin Industrial.
The manager who guarded the store was a fat man of more than 200 pounds. When he saw the dress and figure of Gina following Dai Lin, he immediately greeted him with a smile on his face: "There is no surprise to the distinguished guest, forgive me for his crimes, forgive me for my crimes. I wonder what this distinguished guest is called? Why?"
Dai Lin was stunned. It was the first time he was regarded as a "distinguished guest" when he lived so big. Gina smiled slightly and explained in Dai Lin's ear: "Do I have a good match?"
Dai Lin then suddenly realized that an excellent orc like Gina would be very expensive if it was sold on the black market. And not a person who was particularly rich or powerful, it is likely that Gina would not be able to protect Gina. No wonder the elite manager of Black Gold Industry immediately regarded Dai Lin as a noble son.
But it's just right.
Dai Lin immediately entered the acting state, nodded carelessly and said, "Well, my name is Dai Lin? Stark. I want to talk to you about a big business. Is there any room suitable for negotiation?"
"Yes! Yes, please come with me." The fat manager immediately smiled and led the way forward, leading Dai Lin into the store, passing through a winding courtyard corridor, and came to a room with simple and luxurious decoration, surrounded by aromatherapy.
"Please enter and wait." said the fat manager.
Dai Lin walked into the room with Gina's hand. The two of them had just confirmed the relationship between master and servant. The more they looked at each other, the more they liked each other, and they almost couldn't control it. Fortunately, there was not a long wait, and outside the door, "I've been waiting for a long time", then a woman in a black long tunic dress with crystal embedded in it held three bowls of hot tea and pushed the door in...
What a beautiful woman! Dai Lin couldn't help but exclaim. She saw her black hair soft, fair skin, charming eyes, smiling at the corners of her mouth, and her long spike-like crystal earrings drooped to her neck, emitting amazing charm everywhere.
The brunette came to Dailin and Gina slowly, first served tea for the two, then held a cup of them, sat down at the place where Dailin seemed close but did not challenge Gina's nerves, and saluted to the two with a smile:
"Sari Lins, business manager of Black Gold Industrial Eagle Strike Fort, have met Lord Stark. We all admire your great achievements against the evil undead. We are very willing to serve you if we can do anything."
Dai Lin was very surprised. His affairs in Jon's army were not top secret, but his information could be summarized so quickly through his name. Heijin Industry is indeed very energetic!
Since that's the case, Dai Lin wouldn't keep it aside, he said seriously:
Chapter completed!
