Chapter 302 [Chamber of Commerce Alliance] [Internal Auction]


    "No matter what the relationship is, it''s my personal matter, right?"


    Shane glanced at Alessio slightly coldly and said.


    He was a little puzzled by the abnormal attitude of the Daisy siblings. Didn''t he just say a few more words to Jane? Why did the two siblings react so much?


    Daisy also realized that the behavior of the two of them had no "sense of boundaries", so she said sincerely.


    "Sorry, we were too abrupt."


    "But do you really not know the reputation of the administrator lady?"


    Shane looked strange.


    He knew much more than the Daisy siblings. He knew that Jane was a half-elf, that she was the granddaughter of the elf princess Angel, and even that she had been the [Lady Serenity] of the [Truth Society].


    But how can such a thing be said casually?


    Xia En could only ask: "What kind of reputation?"


    "She is already a legendary figure on our [Liu Li Island]."


    Daisy looked carefully in the direction of the secret room, as if she was worried that Jane would hear her words.


    "Honestly, I have never seen the administrator lady be so enthusiastic about anyone, so I find it strange."


    "By the way, you''ve heard of the prophecy of the second world-destroying flood, right?"


    "The S3 document was translated and cracked by the management lady!"


    Shane nodded: "Oh, I know."


    With the identity of "Mrs. Serenity" of the "Truth Society" at the forefront, translating such confidential documents does not seem to be a strange thing for Jane.


    The look in Daisy''s eyes became even stranger.


    Isn’t Captain Shane too over-hearted?


    But at this time, Xia En didn''t want to dwell too much on this topic, so he simply spoke directly.


    "I want to purchase a batch of special extraordinary materials. I wonder if you have relevant channels?"


    "If the price is right, I''m willing to give you a reward as a thank you gift."


    Xia En is not familiar with the place on [Liu Li Island]. Instead of looking around like a headless fly, it is better to rely on the "local snakes" of Daisy and brother, and the efficiency will be greatly improved.


    When it came to serious matters, Daisy''s expression became serious and she asked.


    "Do you just want to buy, or do you have other goods to sell?"


    “Both sell and buy.”


    Xia En also thought clearly now. With his current net worth, it is obviously unrealistic to buy all the materials on this list.


    Moreover, the disaster of the second great flood is imminent.


    The supplies in the [Rhine Secret Realm] are just hoarding. It is better to liquidate them as soon as possible and use them to upgrade the hulls of the [Black Swan] and [Diamond Star].


    Before heading to [Leng Lie Sea], improve his overall quality as much as possible.


    If there are ready-made resources, we should use them.


    Xia En didn''t want to end up in a sad situation where "the person dies but the money hasn''t been spent yet".


    Hearing this, Daisy touched her smooth chin and thought: "In that case, the internal auction held by the [Chamber of Commerce Alliance] should be more suitable for you."


    "[Chamber of Commerce Alliance]? Internal auction?"


    This was the first time Xia En heard this statement, and he couldn''t help but feel curious.


    Daisi did not hide anything and explained: "The commercial trade of [Liu Li Island] is extremely developed. Even the [Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce] cannot fully capture the transaction share of these ports."


    "Therefore, several chambers of commerce of different sizes were born on [Liu Li Island]."


    "However, the relationship between various chambers of commerce is not hostile. In addition to a certain degree of competition, they have established in-depth connections and cooperation."


    "The alliance formed by these chambers of commerce is the [Chambers of Commerce Alliance]."


    "In fact, many of the rules in various chambers of commerce in the Seven Seas are now formulated by the [Chambers of Commerce Alliance]."


    Xia En suddenly felt like he had learned a lot.


    In a highly developed commodity economy, it will indeed trigger changes in systems and organizations.


    It can only be said that [Liu Li Island] is indeed one of the most prosperous islands in the Federation, and there is always something new to do.


    Later, Xia En asked: "What about the internal auction?"


    "Because certain precious commodities are scarce and in short supply on the Seven Seas."


    "As insiders of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance and big figures in the federation, they often have the right to make acquisitions first."


    “That’s where the in-house auction came from.”


    "These products will only enter the market after being rejected and will be open to general customers."


    Daisy''s attitude was very calm: "Only those with permission from the [Chamber of Commerce Alliance] are allowed to participate in this kind of auction."


    Xia En looked astonished, not too surprised by this.


    Privileged classes will exist in any era.


    The internal auction of the [Chamber of Commerce Alliance] is prepared for these people.


    Thinking of this, Xia En was a little confused: "But I don''t have permission from the [Chamber of Commerce Alliance], how can I participate in this auction?"


    Daisy smiled slightly and said: "Actually, my family has some roots in [Liu Li Island], and we happen to have a few seats to participate in the internal auction."


    Hearing this, Xia En had no reaction, but Alessio looked at Daisy in surprise.


    "Sister? You..."


    The seats in the internal auction are not a piece of cake, even for their family, they are not something that can be borrowed casually.


    Daisy shook her head at Alessio, interrupting what he wanted to say.


    Alessio could tell from the sister''s eyes that she was serious, so he had no choice but to close his mouth unwillingly.


    Xia En raised his brows, but did not show any expression of joy, but instead felt a little wary.


    "Then may I ask, what is the price for borrowing this seat?"


    He is no longer the innocent and innocent boy he used to be, and he does not believe that there is any kind of kindness in the world without any reason.


    Especially the matter of borrowing the auction seat has obviously gone beyond the relationship of "Carles'' friend".


    Daisy was not angry about Xia En''s vigilance, but said it bluntly.


    "You can think of this as my investment in you on behalf of our family."


    "I am very optimistic about your future development and am willing to provide you with some help within my ability."


    "And if our family is in trouble in the future, please come to our aid."


    Xia En''s expression became even weirder: "Are you...sure?"


    Is this the request to lend a seat at the auction?


    This constraint can be said to be extremely loose, and it even depends entirely on Xia En''s own moral level.


    If he were a wolf-hearted scumbag, he might bite Daisy''s family back.


    Daisy nodded solemnly: "I''m sure."


    In fact, there is a deeper reason why Daisy made this decision -


    Not only did Carles believe in Shane, but even the administrator of the big library treated Shane differently.


    Daisy thought that her vision and structure were inferior to the two of them. Because of this, she was willing to trust the judgment of these two people.


    Since both of them value Xia En so much, if they add a little more chips, the loss won''t be too ugly, right?


    "If you still don''t believe it, why not make a contract and a letter?"


    "No, no need."


    Although he didn''t know what Daisy was thinking, Xia En did feel her sincerity and said directly.


    "Since you choose to trust me, I will naturally not let you down." After finalizing the general direction of cooperation, Xia En began to confirm many details of the auction.


    "Please prepare a warehouse where I will place the goods to be sold."


    "Beyond that, I hope you can help me contact a reliable federal official, preferably the staff member responsible for paleontology and emerging species."


    "I have important information and a batch of new species to exchange for achievements."


    …


    …


    Soon, in the face of Shane''s request, Daisy and Alessio also showed their shrewd and capable side.


    In fact, for being able to hold the position of captain in the waters near [Liu Li Island] at such a young age, this pair of siblings can already be regarded as the best among young people.


    Regardless of his figure, appearance, family background, or abilities, he is far ahead of his peers.


    Just comparing with Xia En, they looked a little lackluster.


    So much so that Daisy and both of them forgot that Shane was actually a few years younger than them.


    At the same time, the power of Daisy''s sister and brother''s family gradually came into play.


    All of Xia En''s needs can basically be met quickly.


    Some links that were easily stuck seemed to be cleared by an invisible hand and passed easily.


    If it were up to Xia En to handle it by himself, I don''t know how much time would be wasted.


    People have to sigh, the taste of power is indeed very wonderful.


    Only then did Shane know that Daisy’s full name was—


    Daisy Moriarty!


    The family of their siblings is the Moriarty family!


    And the legendary chief of the federation was the first generation head of this family.


    No wonder Daisy''s tone was a little strange when she mentioned Wayne Moriarty earlier, and she even called him "old man".


    Come to think of it, the descendants of the Moriarty family probably have very complicated feelings about this elusive ancestor.


    On the one hand, they don''t want Wayne to be dead.


    But on the other hand, if Wayne is not dead, why not come to the family to say that he is safe?


    At least let their family members have an idea.


    This feeling of being neither up nor down is even more uncomfortable.


    However, this is a family matter of the Moriarty family, and Shane neither cares nor is he qualified to care.


    It didn''t take long.


    Xia En received his first meritorious service from the federal government.


    A full 500 points.


    This huge amount of money came from the intelligence provided by Shane to the Federation.


    Including the location of [Coral City] and [Ember Treasure], a detailed treasure map, and the specific situation in [Ember Treasure].


    —This is a decision that Shane made after careful consideration.


    In terms of profit, it would definitely be greater if he unearthed the treasure himself and then handed those ancient plant seeds to the Federation.


    But under the current situation, there was not enough time for Xia En to do this.


    Disaster is coming.


    The worst-case scenario is that after the disaster, the [Ember Shelter] is directly destroyed. Wouldn’t it be a waste of effort?


    And according to that federal official.


    This contribution is just a "down payment" for intelligence.


    The Federation has special information transmission methods, and it is completely possible to directly notify the Federation Navy closest to [Coral City] to salvage it.


    After verifying the authenticity of the information provided by Xia En, the Federation will award another meritorious service based on the type and quantity of seeds in the [Ember Sanctuary].


    This is already a more humane approach.


    Shane guessed that there might be something behind this that was the result of the Moriarty family''s operations.


    Not long after.


    Shane took the federal official to the warehouse.


    Just now, he brought more than a dozen unique animals and plants from the [Rhine Secret Realm] to the warehouse.


    In addition, there are also secret specialties like [Rhine Mine].


    Xia En mainly wanted to estimate the value of these materials so that he could easily choose the main products for sale.


    The federal official is a capable woman with short black hair, black-rimmed glasses and an ordinary appearance.


    In the previous exchanges about [Ember Treasure], her mood has been very stable, she was not overly surprised, and she showed extremely high professionalism.


    Coupled with the recommendation of Daisy''s brother and sister, Shane has regarded her as a reliable partner, so he brought her to this warehouse.


    However, as soon as he entered the warehouse door and saw several small animals inside, the liaison officer''s eyes suddenly lit up and his face flushed with excitement.


    She quickly walked up to an animal that looked like a rabbit but had a pair of sharp horns. She moved her hands up and down, weighed it, and even seemed to have touched the rabbit''s bell.


    She muttered: "The hair is highly similar to that of an ordinary hare...the eyes are dark brown..."


    "The density of muscles and bones is about 1.5 times. The gravity environment of life is different..."


    "The reproductive system is sound...it is currently impossible to confirm whether there is reproductive isolation. It is best to conduct special tests..."


    The rabbit huddled up in a ball, its furry body trembling.


    It was like a little girl who had been stripped naked by a big man. She could only passively bear everything and looked very pitiful.


    Shane looked at Daisy next to him with a strange expression: "What''s wrong with her?"


    Daisy was a little embarrassed and coughed twice: "Actually, Sophie is quite normal."


    "It''s just that she used to be a researcher at the Institute of Biology, and she has a very high passion for these animals."


    While speaking, Daisy''s eyes fell on the things displayed in the warehouse.


    Just looking around, her eyes couldn''t help but flash with something special.


    These items may not be particularly exaggerated in terms of quality, but without exception, they are all things that Daisy has never seen before.


    This is very incredible.


    You know, Daisy has been helping out in the family business association since she was eight years old.


    In terms of knowledge about various goods and materials, it can be said to be a vast amount.


    But now these materials or creatures are all filled with a sense of strangeness and freshness.


    It looked somewhat similar to what she knew, but there was a more fundamental difference underneath.


    It''s almost like...


    The existence of another world.


    Daisy looked at Xia En with strange eyes, and her curiosity continued to expand.


    Where did these things come from?


    In her eyes, Xia En''s image became more and more mysterious.
