Chapter 1340
They had gathered and were talking about Orient Commerce.
Maxine was talking about the current members of Orient Commerce that she was aware of.
The current Orient Commerce relied heavily on the Great Four of the ancient martial arts world. However, the Great Four had been doing their own thing for years and were rarely in contact with one another.
Now, Orient Commerce was just for show. Despite that, it was not dissolved, given that there were always profits to be made.
"Still, I think it's necessary to establish a chamber of commerce first." After speaking for a while, Maxine looked at James once again and continued, " Once the chamber of commerce is established, well recruit some foreign companies to compete with Orient Commerce."
"It's too late for that,” said Quincy. ‘The election is only six months away. In the remaining time, the chamber of commerce won't be able to grow, and James intended to resolve everything before the election.”
"Recruiting the Great Four would be the only option then,” Thea chimed in.” If the Great Four take James’ side and support him, everything will be easy to manage.”
Hearing that, Maxine shook her head slightly.
"I'm afraid that's not going to work. In the past, the Great Four had an agreement with the King not to interfere in the affairs of the country and not to take sides."
‘The situation is already in chaos right now,” said Thea, "It has been in disarray since James assassinated the previous Emperor.
Moreover, this chaos was deliberately orchestrated, and not by a single person. All forces have silently agreed to this. Since no one wanted the situation to remain in such a stalemate, they decided to use James to resolve the situation.
“Besides, it has been even more chaotic since the Mount Thunder Conference. Right now, nobody even seems to care that much. Who still cares which sides the Great Four are on?"
James could not help but take a glance at Thea.
