Louis shook his head and said:
"No need, a proper business negotiation is not my forte, this kind of thing should be left to you professionals."
He patted Ross on the shoulder and said:
"Her Highness Beatrice and His Highness Louis have high expectations of you, make sure to showcase the spirit of our Ense when you arrive in Tunisia."
Ross nodded earnestly.
But inside, he couldn't help but murmur:
"What do you mean by proper business negotiation is not your forte?"
"Mr. Mayer is too modest; in the land of merchants, people are already going crazy trying to uncover the root of your business strategies."
"But so far, the only solution they've come up with is to not even enter the game from the beginning and abandon the order."
"But if they abandon this order, the Wealth Can Reach God Commerce Association will probably collapse first."
"By the time Wealth Can Reach God goes into bankruptcy and restructuring, and holds another procurement negotiation, won't the new association have no choice but to join in quietly to showcase its potential as soon as possible?"
"Caught in a situation where both entering and retreating aren't viable options, you call this not your forte?"
In the end, Ross could only sigh:
"Mr. Mayer, you are too humble."
But he quickly thought of something else.
Mr. Mayer is the white glove of His Highness Louis, it is widely rumored in the industry that Mr. Mayer's startup capital was entirely provided by His Highness Louis.
This means, whether Mr. Mayer likes it or not, he represents the will of the Prince of the Empire externally.
Considering the obviously warm relationship between His Highness Louis and Her Highness Beatrice, it's not impossible that he represents the will of the next emperor as well.
With this in mind, he seemed to understand why Mr. Mayer was so low-key.
"Brilliant, Mr. Mayer is truly brilliant!"
Beast, what's so brilliant about you?
Louis couldn't help but think to retort.
Clearly, Ross started to fill his head with strange ideas again.
Ross leaned slightly towards Louis and said:
"It's okay, Mr. Mayer, I understand your difficulties."
"When I first started in the arms manufacturing industry, I also had a hard time."
"After all, the high-end weapons manufacturing industry has always been the domain of the three major national commerce associations, introducing small associations like ours was meant to enliven the system."
"But even if we private entities participate in the military industry, we must accept supervision from the Empire."
"Those who know, know that in our line of work, being too high-profile doesn't work."
"You represent the will of His Highness, so you must be even more restrained."
Louis blinked.
This interpretation matches mine now.
So he said reservedly:
"Viscount Ross, the world is vast, and the potential of private commerce associations remains to be explored."
"I sincerely believe that one day, as merchants' footsteps extend outward, the world will eventually converge into a whole because of us."
"The era of continental integration is a historical trend, and we have yet to achieve it."
Indeed, Louis truly thought so.
Although the possibility of globalization is low due to conflicts between various races on the continent, from a long-term perspective, the continent already has the foundation for global trade.
——It could even be said that in some aspects, it surpasses the previous world.
With this foundation, the tide of globalization will be inevitable.
It's just a matter of how long it will take to reach that step.
However, his instinctive reflection caused Ross's expression to shift from shock to stiffness, finally turning into deep awe.
He assumed a listening posture and asked Louis why he made such a judgment.
Louis did not hide his reasoning from him.
This trip to the Tunisian Republic is also intended to use this rhetoric to engage the upper echelons of Tunisia.
He simply never imagined how shocking his words would be to the people of this era.
For a long time, let alone between countries, even within a single country with multiple ethnic groups, violent conflicts would erupt due to differences in interests between races.
Why is the Am Empire called the land of merchants?
Not only because Am holds significant advantages in land, river, and sea transportation.
More importantly, because of the Am Empire's merchants' fanatical worship of money, they dare to defy universal norms and madly expand the local market.
This almost insane approach created the glory of the Am Empire, the rise of the O5 Council, and made the name of merchants echo across the continent.
Yet compared to the future blueprint Mr. Mayer has shown, all of this appears so insignificant.
He could only feel his brain trembling.
If before he attributed Mayer's success to the favor of the Prince,
Now, he is almost prostrate in awe, revering him as a deity.
Anyone can idly boast about a concept, but it wouldn't be this shocking.
But what if the concept is being transformed into reality?
What if the Ense Empire genuinely intends to construct a relatively complete industry chain distribution with the Tunisian Republic now?
What if Mr. Mayer himself has showcased what a classic marketing case is to the Imperial Capital's merchants through the success of the Mayer Commerce Association?
What if in cross-border negotiations, he used his top-notch skills to earn the Empire's victory fruits?
The impact of a person's words is not only determined by its substance but also by the achievements he has previously made for it.
