Now then, todays eting shall officially comnce. Please quieten down.
Everyone at the circular table fell into silence. In the silence, they could hear the echoes of shoes making contact with the marble floor in the pure white conference hall. Freya followed behind and looked at everyone with a strange smile. I headed to my seat located at the highest point in the room, which was located at twelve oclock relative to the entrance, allowing to see everyone. We referenced humanitys conference hall when we constructed our conference hall. However, the conference hall wasnt alike Elizabeths one and only conference hall. To the contrary, my sitting location allowed to see every spot. A King should be able to see everything.
This will be the final eting. His Majesty has attained a full grasp on the details of our eting and private etings. He has also earnestly reflected on your terms and conditions for a long ti. Todays final eting will be your last chance to na your conditions and express your opinions. Furthermore, you can debate it with each other to reach a conclusion that you can all accept. I, Freya Galadriel Rosvenor, and King of the North, Troy Galadriel Rosvenor, who will act as the representative for the North and the imperial family of the North, shall make a decision and voice his requests. Please maintain your loyalty for the imperial family of the North and respect as you conduct your discussions.
Freya waved her hand. The secretary opened his notebook and dipped his pen in the ink as part of his preparations to begin. There were twice as many notes to take for the eting compared to usual etings. The two parties looked at each other.
One of the humans stood up and bowed: In compliance with Her Majestys agenda, I have co here as the representative of all fur businesses to discuss the export of fur with the esteed King of the North. Our request this ti is to reduce our purchase volu. Every year, we extract fur from three locations. We do not buy a lot of fur from the remaining two places. Each location is nurtured for three years. The remaining ones are split between us with one each; therefore, there is no crossover impact. However, we will maintain the initial price.
As the primary manufacturer in the North, we cannot accept such a condition. Your price is an obstacle for us. Changing the location from which you purchase the fur is not a solution to the pricing dilemma. You will not go elsewhere, but other locations will take the initiative to go to you. You have to match your cost of procurent with us!
We refuse. Transporting the goods from the North to the South will cause us to incur losses. Additionally, our transportation labour is very expensive. We cannot match your price. We must proceed with our approach. We cannot concur with you on that.
You think we dont know what youre purchasing fur at such steep prices for? Youre trying to deprive us of raw materials so that you can then monopolise the fur industry. Then, youll procure the fur at extrely low prices. As a result, you will be the only people they can sell fur to. We will not allow you to use such underhanded thods!
According to the regulations in the North, we may rightfully decide on the cost of purchase. The market is a free-for-all market. There are no issues with what we are doing. Clearly, you could purchase the fur at the sa price, but you didnt. Instead, you suck the life out of labourers in the North. Youre the blood suckers here. You milk the labourers in your factory. Purchase raw materials at low prices, and then manufacture expensive luxury goods to rake in high profits. Even if we were to remove you from the picture, we still would not have such an absurd profit margin!
We represent anthropoids of the North and everyone exporting fur. We dont want to accept any of your suggestions. None of your suggestions have taken us into consideration. We wont unconditionally support your manufacturer purchasing our goods at low prices just because we reside in the North. By the sa token, we wont allow humans to trick us with such underhanded thods. We ask that we have the freedom to choose any party to export our fur to and when necessary, we can refuse anyone. Thus, we request the right to choose.
Freya hopelessly sighed and whispered in my ear, I never thought they could be so noisy on the last day. It is the last day, yet they are enthusiastic as the first day. This is truly getting on my nerves. Your Majesty, shall we just go ahead and kill everyone here?
Your idea is more terrifying than Mommy Elizabeths. While this place is designed according to her conference hall, therefore the resemblance, this isnt a hall for killing people as Empress Elizabeth uses hers. Just ignore them. I have no way of guaranteeing that I can explain myself after killing so many people here.
I picked up the bell in front of and knocked it a few tis, shutting them all up.
They were all looking at each other with agitated looks just a mont ago, but they stopped after hearing the bell. They awaited the final verdict from the King.
I stood up, took a docunt Freya handed and said, I understand everything you are thinking now, so I shall provide you with the imperial familys verdict. The imperial familys final verdict remains the sa. We wont get involved with this matter; we wont purchase fur. Our original intent to support free trade remains unchanged, and we wont change the taxes we charge anyone. Due to this, the imperial family will regulate the prices on the free market to mitigate humanitys agenda. In saying that, the imperial familys conclusion on this is that humanitys businesses can continue purchasing fur as they like under the condition that they must pay in cash so that there is no dodging paynts.
The factory may continue to purchase fur; however, they must ensure the lives of the people at the production site arent impacted. They must ensure the workers get rest and are paid their salary. The factory will send a mber from the imperial family to supervise the situation. A workers union will also be founded. If the workers are affected in a negative way, the imperial family will confiscate the factory.
I shut the docunt. Then, I continued: The eting is, therefore, over. You should all be content now, I presu. You have had all of your wishes fulfilled. Sorry, but this eting should be considered over. Thus, if you have sothing to say, bring it up again in a years ti. Now, I need to be on my way to attend the conference at Troy City. As such, I wont keep you company here any longer. You can accept the results, I presu.
Everyone was satisfied, yet they all wore grim looks. Honestly speaking, I figured out the Norths manufacturers line of thought. For , who did quite decent in Marxism, I was able to discern the act of extortion with a single glance.
Businessn never change no matter when and where. As for humanity, they were permitted to decide on whatever price they wanted. My question, though, was how they would transport so many gold coins from the North. Plus, the taxes for transporting gold coins werent low. Their costs would increase. They might be able to utilise the strategy to defeat the Norths businesses, but they didnt possess infinite wealth. Subsequently, the driver seat belonged to the imperial family.
