"The Uria Chamber of Commerce sent 10 cubic meters of streamer olivine."
With the voice of the maid next to them, several guards opened 10 tightly
packed wooden boxes, and ten square-cut boulders appeared in front of
everyone. The translucent boulders appeared clear and light green in the sun,
with faint brilliance flowing on them. , This is a natural and extraordinary
thing, which can be used to make extraordinary props, or as a top-level
decorative building material. Such a large and complete one is also very rare
on the mainland.
The staff of the Calides Chamber of Commerce looked at the beautiful square
boulder with expressions of joy and admiration. Lorrain Hill looked at it with
a faint headache, but the maid next to him continued to read the list in his
hand.

"The Aouni Chamber of Commerce sent a full set of luxurious hardcover editions
of "The Poem of Kingfisher"."
After that, another box opened. Inside were 7 thick books in hardcover. The
case was wrapped in gray Mochizuki rhino leather. The pages inside were light
green, and there were faint veins of leaves in it, which was very beautiful.
It is a leaf vein paper unique to the Aoni Chamber of Commerce. The black text
in the book is elegant and clear, and each page is also equipped with
exquisite drawings. In this way, books made with extraordinary craftsmanship
are not afraid of oil stains, water immersion, and ordinary flames. They will
not be deformed or faded after being stored at will for decades. They are
often used as heirlooms of great aristocrats.
Some maids began to talk quietly when they heard "The Poem of Kingfisher", and
some even wanted to read it. "The Poem of Kingfisher" was a book compiled by
seven well-known poets nearly a hundred years ago. It records various places
in the mainland. The stories and legends of folk customs are very famous.
Lorraine Hill also liked these books, but this made her embarrassed again.
"The Lamia Chamber of Commerce sent an extraordinary winter skirt in edel-
proof leather."
The maids opened a hard-covered wooden box with an ice-blue winter dress
inside. Lorrain Hill blinked, and the information surfaced in her
consciousness.
[Snowproof velvet leather winter skirt] (evaluation: rare gold level): It is
made of golden winter white bear fur and moire cloth. There are 5 layers of
enchantment inside, respectively [heat insulation] [deflection position]
[fixed] Wind] [cold current] [tough fiber], it can isolate the cold and heat
to maintain a constant temperature, deflect projectiles and weak attacks,
stabilize the airflow around them, weaken the wind speed, and give the wearer
a certain cooling capacity. It can freeze objects. The tough fiber makes The
defensive power of this dress is greatly enhanced.
Looking at the dazzling special effects, the girl thought to herself, this is
probably the most precious gift I have received today.
The new owner of the Calites Chamber of Commerce appeared in front of the
public and caused a huge sensation at the Nythos family banquet. The guests
present spread her beauty. Coupled with the current West Wind Civil War, the
demand for sea ships has risen sharply. Other Chambers of Commerce in Wilga
began to send people to make Callites well, hoping to gain the friendship of
this new owner.
Lorrain Hill sat on his seat and asked his subordinates to collect these gifts
into the warehouse of the mansion for safekeeping and make records.
It is not uncommon for the leaders of the chamber of commerce to give gifts,
but they are often not so expensive. They are asking for Calites, hoping to
get a larger share in the next batch of new ships, even if they can’t get
them, they can also entrust them. The fleet of the Calites Chamber of Commerce
helped with the transportation.
The girl listened to the introduction of the chief maid, Chelsea.
"The Uriya Chamber of Commerce mainly deals in stone and construction. Many
castles, temples and well-known buildings in the Seven Kingdoms of Xuehua were
built by them."
"The Argyle Chamber of Commerce focused on books and paper in its early years,
but now it is also involved in opera and concerts."
"The Lamian Chamber of Commerce is mainly engaged in animal husbandry. Bacon,
cashmere, leather, and fur are all very famous."
"Many of the raw materials of these companies are produced by the west wind,
and now many roads in the west wind have started to seal roads. They are eager
to find a ship to bring the freight back by sea."
"But we have a limited number of ships." The girl was a little bit distressed.
Looking at the data compiled by shipyards in the past two days, even if the
construction starts at full capacity, there will be a maximum of 25-30 ships
in these two months, which can only satisfy 3-4 ships. After all, shipbuilding
is not about dumplings, it still takes a lot of time.
Before these three companies today, representatives of 7 chambers of commerce
have already visited, plus the representatives of the Metur Chamber of
Commerce and the Rhea Chamber of Commerce who will arrive tomorrow. A total of
12 large chambers of commerce have made requests. These large chambers of
commerce are not weak, and it is not good to offend any one.
Some time ago, Lorraine Hill was also thinking about making huge improvements
in the cotton spinning industry, bringing out new looms, greatly increasing
production and making money. I don’t think the sky is as good as the people.
Maybe the gods think it’s too slow. I immediately smashed a cake and almost
choked her. Each big ship can sell thousands of extraordinary gold coins. The
premiums given by these chambers of commerce are almost the same as before.
2-3 times the price.
"Chelsea, does Wilga have no other shipbuilding chambers of commerce besides
us?"
The maid maid added some hot tea to the girl’s cup. Recently, the weather
started to cool down, and she thought for a while before answering.
"Yes, the Dayas family also has many shipyards. They are the veteran Chamber
of Commerce in Wilga. They were the first to do tung oil business and later
used in shipbuilding. The seal and water resistance are very good, so their
shipbuilding industry was once famous in the south of the mainland."
"Oh? How did we get up." The girl held the tea cup in her palm, feeling the
warmth, and asked slightly curiously.
"Hehe, this has to be said to be Angus' good luck." The maid smiled.
"Mr. Angus once rescued an Oriental who fell into the water. He escaped from
the Gorse dynasty~www.mtlnovel.com~ It is said that he was a local nobleman.
Because the court party failed, he was afraid of being wiped out. Take your
family away overseas."
"After saving him, I later helped him find a separate family member, so I was
grateful and passed on the shipbuilding craftsmanship that he passed down to
our Chamber of Commerce, thus integrating the advanced shipbuilding technology
of the East Continent, and the level of our Calites. It surpassed Dayas at
once, and since then, Calites has begun to focus on the shipbuilding
industry."
"Is that orientalist still alive?"
"Still, currently living in seclusion in Haiya Harbor, the nephew of the
Oriental is currently the leader of the ‘Tradewind’ fleet, and you’ll see it
later."
"Okay." Lorrain Hill still met the three leaders of the fleet when she first
arrived in Hopeland. Unfortunately, there were too many people at the time,
and she simply wrote down her appearance. After that, the three leaders left
with the task. There is not much familiarity and understanding either.
I received some congratulatory representatives from the small chambers of
commerce. After Lorraine Hill finished lunch, it was time for the afternoon.
The high-levels of the Calites Chamber of Commerce were about to come together
again. There were 300 seats in the spacious conference hall. , In the middle
is a big round table, and down there are rows of fan-shaped seats and tables.
The dome of the hall is very high, about 5-6 stories high. There are luxurious
chandeliers hanging on the dome. There are 16 tall weighing columns arranged
on the side stone wall, and the load-bearing columns are more than 6 meters
high. There is a large vertical window with transparent glass on the window.
The sunlight from outside came in and into the temporarily quiet hall. On the
huge curtain wall behind the central round table, there was a drawing of a
huge lacquer night flower. The black petals were warmly blooming, and the
center was an enchanting dark purple stamen. This huge lacquer night flower is
half in the shadow and half in the sun, showing a strange charm.
