Brianna nodded. When she talked about doing business, stars popped up in this little girl's eyes.

"The Hanna Chamber of Commerce belongs to the Free Federation and is just a small chamber of commerce."

"Most of our trade goods are silk and porcelain. After selling the special products of the Eastern Continent to the Western Continent, we purchase slaves, spices and other products and bring them back to the Free Federation for sale."

"But the most valuable transactions in the Eastern and Western Continents are magic artifacts, gunpowder, and minerals. These commodities are monopolized by some large chambers of commerce."

"Now His Highness has such rich minerals in his hands. No matter where they are shipped and sold, it will be a very profitable business, and he will definitely make a lot of money."

Brianna's mind started spinning rapidly. If Hilo is used as a transfer station on the sea, and there is a large amount of minerals as support, even if the final benefit is only 20% for the Hannah Chamber of Commerce, it will still be very profitable.

.

And the labor costs are all paid by Hilo.

"Of course, buying and selling ore is just the simplest trade. If His Highness has the ability to forge steel, cast iron, or even create arms, our interests will immediately increase more than ten times."

Shiloh nodded and was about to say something when he suddenly saw Briana staring directly at his waist. She screamed with joy and immediately touched his belt with her hands.

Damn it!

Female gangster!

Shiloh was startled and was about to protect his brother when he saw Brianna pick up the hand crossbow hanging on his waist as a decoration.

"The materials are superior, the techniques are superb, and the workmanship is excellent... Where did you get this crossbow, Your Highness?"

Shiloh rolled his eyes and asked: "Why, you also see how extraordinary this crossbow is?"

Brianna took the hand crossbow and looked through it carefully for a while, then reluctantly returned it to Shiloh and said: "Your Highness, you are deliberately teasing me. As a businessman, you must have a pair of eyes to discern goods."

"This crossbow must be made by dwarves!"

Hearing Briana's words, Shiloh was also a little surprised. He picked up the crossbow and looked at it carefully and said: "Dwarves? You are talking about those who are addicted to alcohol, regard gold as more important than their own lives, and fight.

A dwarf who likes to hit people with axes and hammers?"

"If I were to describe them, I'd rather call them born masters of casting, rather than the drunkards, misers, old swindlers you described... that kind of thing."

"In the Free Federation, I once had the honor to see weapons made by dwarves being auctioned."

"At that auction, it was just a short dagger. Because it was made by a dwarf, it sold for a high price of 400 gold coins. It is really unbelievable."

Hearing this, Shiloh's hand trembled, and his eyes suddenly changed when he looked at the crossbow.

What kind of hand crossbow is this? It’s obviously gold, heavy gold!

He didn't care much and asked eagerly: "So, there are still dwarves in the Eastern Continent?!"

Briana shook her head and said: "Hundreds of years ago, before the Free Federation was established, the dwarves had disappeared without a trace. That's why these dwarves' things are so precious now."

"Your Highness, this crossbow of yours has been well maintained and is just like new. If sold, it would be worth at least 2,000 gold coins."

Shiloh couldn't listen to Brianna's words at this time. His mind had already flown to the bottom of Hope Island, the deep cave that led to nowhere.

Those lizardmen don't understand the preciousness of dwarf weapons. Judging from their low productivity, it is simply more difficult for them to maintain their weapons.

So this hand crossbow was most likely just made!

Shiloh's heart suddenly became hot, and he wished he could summon all his men, rush into the cave immediately, kill the lizardmen to a rout, and then look for traces of the dwarves.

If you really find a dwarf, recruit him as a forger, plus the inexhaustible minerals from the Gulfstream Island Chain.

Hahaha.

Shiloh seemed to see countless gold coins falling like raindrops, filling the entire Stormwind City.

What a happy life it would be if I could be drowned in gold coins.

At this moment, the greedy nature of the people of Hilo was fully exposed.

However, this fiery thought only lasted for a while, and Shiloh calmed down.

Now that he is not strong enough, if he rashly rushes into that cave to fight with the lizard men, there is really no guarantee who will win.

He needs people, hundreds of people, to train them into qualified warriors!

He needs money, countless and inexhaustible money, in exchange for food and weapons and equipment!

To do business, you must do business!

After Shiloh figured out this relationship, her eyes when she looked at Brianna were filled with greed, like a wolf looking at a little white sheep, salivating.

Briana shuddered. She didn't expect that with just two words, she would completely turn on the switch in Shiloh's heart. This time she really dug a hole and buried herself in it. No matter what, Shiloh would never do it again.

Let go of the Hanna Chamber of Commerce that comes to your door.

"Brenna, you see, even though you've been here for so long, I haven't entertained you well. Tonight, I'm treating you to a treat. You bring all the backbones of your chamber of commerce. You're welcome. Just bring Hope Island and Storm

Let this city be your home.”

Shiloh chuckled and almost took Briana's hand to have a nice chat.

Brianna was not used to Shiloh's appearance and felt uncomfortable all over. She found an excuse and left as if running away. When she left, she heard Shiloh shouting behind her.

"Don't forget, bring all your key men with you in the executive hall tonight."

night.

The first banquet of Hope Island is underway.

Shiloh brought out all the social etiquette from his previous life and praised Hannah Chamber of Commerce for its unique vision and forward thinking, and that everyone is a talent.

He was full of witty words, and everyone in Hannah's Guild was very excited when he heard it. They all praised His Highness Shiloh for his sharp eye and ability to recognize heroes. He was truly a rare talent in the world.

Although Brianna guessed that Hilo had bad intentions, the two parties had already signed a one-year agreement, so she could only sigh silently and watch Hilo win over her subordinates.

Bad wolves, foxes, nobles who are more cunning than hunters!

Everyone feasted until midnight, lamenting how late they were to meet each other, and finally said goodbye.

Shiloh was very satisfied. Just one meal determined the focus of trade after Hannah Chamber of Commerce.

Starting from today, Hannah Chamber of Commerce will become the person in charge of Hilo behind the scenes, helping Hilo sell ore in the Kingdom of Pontos. At the same time, they will also recruit various workers, mercenaries, purchase slaves, and transport them back to Hope Island to replenish manpower.

After that, continue to fill up the ore, go to the Eastern Continent, sell it in exchange for magic artifacts, gunpowder and other valuables, and continue to help the development of Hope Island.

Of course, the benefits from the trade are still the same as in the agreement, and the Hanna Chamber of Commerce can take 20%, while Hilo is responsible for all labor costs.

Both sides can make money, it can be described as a win-win situation.

Although she was dissatisfied with the fact that Shiloh was taking advantage of Hannah Chamber of Commerce, Briana had nothing to do. After all, she was on someone else's territory, so it was better to be obedient.

As for privately, does Brianna have any thoughts...

Shiloh chuckled and already told Rowan to prepare secretly.

Time flies, and before you know it, the repairs of the Blolis have been completed, the White Gull Queen has been basically restored, and the day of going to sea for business is getting closer and closer.

Hilo opened a mining farm on a nearby island, specially dispatched 100 slaves for mining operations, and also dispatched one-fifth of his armed forces for protection.

Everything went smoothly when opening this mine. The previous pioneering nobles did not waste the precious resources of the Gulf Stream Island Chain. They built large enough mines and working areas, and even paved the roads.

Hilo only needed to tinker with the foundation established by the other party, and it was officially put into use soon.
Chapter completed!
