Although Pekkala had guessed as much about Anvis's background as possible beforehand, she still didn't expect that Anvis actually came from one of the four major families in the empire!
That's the Olivendi family, known as the Crystal Bird that never falls! The true ruler of the province of Kalras! [Cold of Winter] The biological descendant of Lord Carrot!
Claire was also a little surprised, even though she didn't know much about the various forces in the empire. But when studying continental geography, I was still familiar with the province of Kalras, one of the four major provinces of the empire.
"Anvis, let's cooperate!"
After coming back to her senses, Pekkala's face turned slightly red, but she still couldn't hide her excitement and screamed out, her whole body became very excited.
"So, what do you want to do with me, Miss Pekkala Cromire?"
Anvis smiled gracefully, and his blue eyes suddenly stared fixedly at Pekkala's eyes, with a rare trace of scrutiny in his eyes.
As if to thoroughly evaluate her value and confirm whether she is qualified to cooperate with him——
"I...I have a certain influence on my father and can influence his choices to a certain extent.
Moreover, I have the autonomy to mobilize some of the Chamber of Commerce resources on my own, including imperial gold coins and Saint Mecia gold coins totaling tens of millions, which can be used at any time..."
Being stared at by Anvis with an oppressive gaze that was completely different from usual, Pekkala felt as if she had been poured cold water on her face. Her face suddenly turned pale and she swallowed instinctively.
But she immediately forced herself to calm down and explained her value in a clear and logical manner, which made Anvis look at her slightly.
"Furthermore, Your Excellency Anvis, although the Olivendi family is extremely powerful, I'm afraid you can only control a very small part of the family's resources, right?"
As she spoke, Pekkala gradually calmed down and couldn't help but ask a bold question, while secretly paying attention to Anvis's expression.
Anvis smiled interestingly, and nodded slightly, acknowledging her words.
"continue--"
"Well, when you need it in Anvis, all the resources in my hands are at your disposal.
I can even call upon the resources of the entire White Rose Chamber of Commerce Alliance to fully support all your actions depending on the situation. "
Taking a deep breath, Pekkala looked at Anvis quietly, and finally plucked up the courage to speak out her request.
"As a price, I hope to gain your support at certain critical moments."
Although the White Rose Chamber of Commerce Alliance is known as the largest chamber of commerce in the Gloria Empire, their current situation is actually not optimistic.
In the final analysis, the time they developed is still too short, only a few decades. It was entirely due to the union of three large chambers of commerce that it became the largest chamber of commerce in the empire.
Facing various established forces that have been passed down for thousands of years, they still appear weak and powerless.
Not to mention the shortcomings in the foundation, the forces within the alliance are not monolithic.
Although they appear to be in harmony on the surface, secretly, the three chambers of commerce are thinking of annexing the other two and completely removing the 'alliance' suffix from the White Rose Chamber of Commerce Alliance.
Although the Cromir Chamber of Commerce is the strongest among the three, its strength is also very limited. At this time, if you want to truly annex the other two chambers of commerce, you will need the help of external forces.
Not only the Cromir Chamber of Commerce does this, but the other two chambers of commerce will also find ways to find foreign aid.
This foreign aid cannot be too weak, nor can it be too strong.
If it is too weak, there is no meaning of invitation; if it is too strong, it will easily attract wolves into the house.
And Anvis is a very qualified foreign aid.
First of all, he comes from the Olivendi family and has enough background and strength to influence the final result.
Secondly, he is only one of the descendants of Duke Kallas. Currently studying at Pamir Academy, he can mobilize only a small part of the family power, which meets the condition of not being too strong.
Pekkala's behavior is equivalent to an investment in Anvis personally, rather than cooperation with the entire Olivendi family.
"Get my support?"
Anvis smiled gracefully, relaxed his body slightly and leaned back on the chair, taking a deep look at Pekkala.
"Miss Pekkala, although I personally have no prejudice against you, you should know the attitude of the upper class of the empire towards you."
"What's more, although your father is known as the president of the White Rose Chamber of Commerce, as far as I know, there are three presidents of the White Rose Chamber of Commerce Alliance, right?"
"This is exactly why I hope to cooperate with you, Avis."
Gritting her teeth secretly, Pekkala nodded, looked directly into Anvis's deep blue eyes, and spoke without hesitation.
"I know that the Cromire Chamber of Commerce is not qualified to discuss cooperation with the Olivendi family. But I think that for you, Anvis, the Cromire Chamber of Commerce should still be of great value."
With his white-gloved index finger lightly tapping on the table, Anvis fell silent and looked thoughtful, as if he was analyzing the possible gains and losses of this matter.
In the Gloria Empire, the status of these big businessmen was actually very embarrassing.
They look down on ordinary civilians and minor nobles, and the truly profound nobles also look down on them.
Those with noble surnames either completely dismissed them, thinking that they were just a group of vulgar upstarts.
Either they plan to annex it completely to fill their own family power.
The four major families in the empire that own the right to mint their own coins all belong to the former.
Unlike Pekkala, who had only a partial understanding of the situation, Avis was in a position that allowed him to see more.
Due to the existence of extraordinary power, if a caravan wants to travel long distances, it must be equipped with a large number of guards of a certain strength.
But if the Chamber of Commerce gathers a large number of extraordinary people, it will become a destabilizing factor to a certain extent, which is something the ruling class does not want to see.
Therefore, after a chamber of commerce force without background develops to a certain scale, it will be suppressed overtly and covertly.
It was under this situation that the three major chambers of commerce within the White Rose Chamber of Commerce Alliance were forced to form an alliance to deal with the overwhelming pressure coming from all directions.
There is no doubt about the benefits of accepting this deal. The family resources he can use, purely in terms of business channels, cannot match the strength of the White Rose Chamber of Commerce.
But his special identity. As a result, his every move not only represents himself, but also represents the will of the Olivendi family in a sense.
A rash statement of support for a certain president of the White Rose Chamber of Commerce Alliance can easily arouse criticism and lower the impression of the senior members of the family.
The air in the room fell into stillness for a moment, and only the candle flame with the petals of the ice flower was burning quietly. From the hazy white-blue light, it exuded an elegant and peaceful magical atmosphere.
Apart from the occasional slight click, there was no other sound.
