Chapter 330: Iris will respond

“Sir Ethan, I have learned what happened from my assistant.

Yellen has brought disgrace upon himself and deserves to be punished.

We at the Iris Club solemnly state that that was Yellen’s personal behavior and not our original intention.

But after all, he was the representative of the Iris Club at that time, and we will not shirk our responsibility. For his neglect, we, the Iris Club, would like to express our sincere apologies to you. "

With that said, William bowed deeply to Ethan.

When Ethan heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

This sounds like he is condemning Yellen, but it is actually protecting him.

Because William directly defined this incident as saying that it was Yellen who neglected him and he took care of him.

But is this true?

The fact is, this Yellen wants to assassinate the Great Sword Master!

As for why a person who has not even awakened to the Force dares to stab a great sword master with a fruit knife, it doesn't matter.

Facts aside, this is what it is.

Seeing that the other party was so insincere, Ethan didn't want to talk anymore.

After all, whether to let Yellen go or not is my business. But if you don’t agree with the facts and still make your own decision to characterize the incident, then it’s your fault.

Ethan smiled slightly: "Your name seems to be William, right?"

"Yes, Sir Ethan!"

"Okay, Sir William. I hope you can reorganize your language and think it through before speaking to me. Do you understand?"

"Okay, you can go now!"

William has been in society for more than ten years, has met countless people, and encountered countless things, so of course he understands the meaning of Ethan's words.

But he knew very well that he must not agree with Ethan, otherwise Yellen would be dead.

Of course, you can't disobey Ethan either, otherwise not only Yellen will die, but you may also die.

Usually at this time, William would choose to use money to solve the problem.

But this approach proved ineffective for Ethan.

For people at Ethan's level, what they care about is never money, but the sense of accomplishment in their hearts.

As far as this matter is concerned, Ethan has a knot in his mind because of Yellen's neglect.

If you can't untie the knot in his heart, it's all in vain.

And what is Ethan’s knot in his heart?

That was of course because Iris issued currency without him, which made him feel humiliated.

This can be seen from the recent bills passed by Parliament.

He has decided to stop the Iris Society from issuing banknotes in Maro City, which is an act that flips the table.

William was helpless about this.

Because the Iris Society had communicated with the Duke's Palace when the old Duke was in power, how could the Iris Society forget the leader of a region?

But who could have imagined that the situation in Maruo City would suddenly change, and this seventeen-year-old great sword master would suddenly appear.

Of course, this is also due to Yellen’s stupidity.

I didn't even understand the basic nature of the person. Seeing that the person had borrowed hundreds of thousands of dollars, I thought that the person was short of money and wanted to take advantage of the person. Isn't this seeking death?

Can't you just talk to them?

Do you have to commit suicide?

The most important thing is to wipe his butt yourself.

Fortunately, I persuaded the Iris Club and prepared to respectfully invite the Great Sword Master to the table. I thought everything would be settled this way.

"Sir Ethan, Iris will apologize to you again. Please give us another chance to correct our mistakes."

William said sincerely, while taking a document from the assistant's hand, and bending down to hand it over respectfully.

"This is an internal resolution about the Iris Society, which involves a new agreement on resource allocation in various regions. I hope you can read it."

Because there are so many people here, William dare not say that this is a method of distributing the income brought by the issuance of banknotes. He only said that it is a new agreement for the allocation of resources in various regions.

But Ethan understood, this was to invite him to the table.

To be honest, he was shocked that Iris was so decisive.

And the other party behaved so respectfully, which also made Ethan jealous.

The scary thing in this world is not the arrogant and domineering people, but the decisive people who are courteous before fighting.

Just like iris would do.

When people give in, it's not because they're afraid of you, it's probably to deal with you better.

There are countless examples of this.

For example, in the 1970s, a small country named Yue dared to constantly provoke a large Eastern country.

How strong is the army of this big country?

That was the king of land warfare who almost single-handedly defeated the so-called invincible United Nations forces.

Are they afraid of provocation from others?

Of course not!

However, for the sake of their own economy, the big country tolerated the small country named Yue again and again.

However, some people did not listen to the advice, and in the end, the capital was almost lost in less than a few days.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Ethan should just do whatever Iris wants.

Rather, when others treat you in a very low-key manner, even if you disagree with their suggestions, never slap them in the face in public.

This is especially important when the opponent is still a powerful behemoth.

Otherwise, people will be forced to unite as one to deal with you.

Of course Ethan understood this, so he did not continue to drive the other party away, but politely took the handed document and looked at it.

When I saw the 5% income, I made a mental calculation.

Iris controls the economy of 16 coastal areas, which means that if each family gets 5%, 80% of the income will be lost.

Of course, the income here refers to the income from the return of gold due to the issuance of banknotes.

Overall, this ratio is quite fair. After all, the Iris Society has to keep some for itself, and some people also want to take more.

Just like the Grand Duke who has the right to mint coins.

Ethan didn't care about these gains, but he still wondered how much the 5% was worth.

So he asked with a smile: "According to your estimation, how much is this agreement worth?"

William breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Ethan's question.

Just asking, it means there is still something to talk about.

So he leaned next to Ethan and whispered: "If everything goes well, we estimate that each point's share will be about 1.5 million gold, every year.

In other words, your annual income from this agreement is about 7.5 million, and it is a real gold coin.

Of course, as the circulation of gold decreases, perhaps within ten years, there will be no more gold.

At that time, we will use silver to fill it. If there is no silver in circulation, we will issue equivalent banknotes to make up for the difference.

I think, if there is such a time.

The credit of the banknotes should have been stabilized, and you can exchange the banknotes for equivalent fixed assets. "

7.5 million gold a year!

After hearing this, Ethan took a deep breath.

He always thought that he didn't care about money very much, but when he heard this amount, he found that it wasn't that he didn't care about money, but that he didn't care about small money.

If he were to earn this 7.5 million gold through regular means, he would probably never be able to make it back in his lifetime.

But as long as you agree to this agreement, you'll have it for one year, and you don't have to do anything.

The most you can do is distribute some to those allies.

Even if each person gets 300,000, a dozen allies will only take away 4 to 5 million, and he will still have two to three million left.

And this happens every year.

To be honest, Ethan was moved.

However, my heart only moved for a second.

His conscience did not allow him to sell millions of people in Maruo City for personal gain.

Just when Ethan was thinking about how to reject the other party, Anna came and she anxiously whispered a few words in Ethan's ear.

After hearing what Anna requested, Ethan's face instantly turned cold.

Then he threw the agreement back to William and said coldly: "You are giving me the agreement while making trouble behind my back. Is this your sincerity?"

William was confused when he heard this: "Sir Ethan, what do you mean by this, I don't understand!"

"Humph!" Ethan did not reply, but snorted coldly, and led everyone away...
