The early summer sun shone down, raising the temperature of the streets. Walking on the streets would make one feel hot and dry.
However, Cooler didn't seem to care about the heat at all as he strode forward. Instead, he unbuttoned his shirt and exposed his sturdy chest, putting on a bold and magnanimous demeanor.
Coupled with the undisguised smile on his face, it made him seem even more high-spirited. It could even be said that he was complacent.
Of course, he had a reason to put on such an appearance.
At this time last year, he would only be an ordinary worker in an ordinary factory in a small town three hundred kilometers away.
However, ever since the news of the workers rioting in the southern province spread, he took the opportunity to lead a group of familiar workers to start a riot as well. His status then rose accordingly.
Now, he had become the leader of the largest worker organization in the former Kandla Empire's Lamasque Province. He commanded no less than thirty thousand armed rioters and could be said to be the leader of the largest faction in the Lamasque Province.
After the Kandla Empire was destroyed, there was no one in the Lamasque Province who could pose a threat to him. Even the imperial army led by the governor's office in the Lamasque Province had defected to his side and became one of his aids.
Currently, within the Lamasque Province, not only did most of the commoners support him, even the nobles could only look up to him.
Every time he thought about how those noble lords who used to be high and mighty could only bow and scrape before him with smiles on their faces, Claveri felt his mood improve.
This kind of life was something that he had never imagined before.
Look, even a large merchant guild like the New Flyer could only send someone to invite him and express their desire to discuss cooperation with him.
With such an attitude, it meant that the New Flyer also acknowledged his influence in the Lamasque Province. It was enough to prove his current position in the Lamasque Province.
"Chairman Cooler, please come in."
When he arrived in front of the New Flyer's branch in the Lamasque Province's governor's office, a New Flyer worker immediately welcomed him.
Hearing how the Frestech Chamber of Commerce staff member addressed him, Claveri revealed a satisfied smile and followed him in.
The so called "chairman Claveri" was actually after he led the workers to riot. In order to make it easier for him to lead the rioting workers, he didn't want to be called a count or a marquis like the nobles of the Candra Empire, so he called himself the chairman of the Lamasque Province Workers Union. The others called him "chairman".
He had been invited by the Frestech Chamber of Commerce to discuss cooperation today. Now that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's staff member had called him this, it meant that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had recognized his position. This discussion was very sincere.
As expected, when he entered the store, he saw a middle-aged man with a medium build and gentle appearance.
Clavery recognized him at a glance.
This middle-aged man was the New Flyer's supervisor in the Kandla Empire's Lamasque Province, Madoer Xiao Boyle.
Supervisor Shaw Boyle.
"Chairman Cooler, we are honored by your presence. Welcome." Supervisor Shaw Boyle laughed and took the initiative to extend his hand.
Cooler reached out and shook hands with him, his heart filled with emotion.
Although Supervisor Shaw Boyle in front of him was only a supervisor of a branch in the Lamasque Province, he was actually one of the top figures in the Lamasque Province.
Before this, those who could meet with him and even talk to him were all important figures in the Lamasque Province.
But now, he personally stood up to greet him.
In the past, this was simply unimaginable.
"Supervisor Shaw Boyle, this isn't the first time we've met.
It's just that I recognized you before, but you didn't necessarily recognize me. "
Hearing Cooler's words, Supervisor Shaw Boyle was a little surprised.
"Oh?
I don't know where we've met before, but I didn't recognize you, Chairman Cooler? "
Cooler laughed, "At that time, I was just an ordinary worker in the factory. I just happened to run into you, Supervisor Shaw Boyle, when you came to visit our factory, and I was fortunate enough to meet you.
At that time, of course, I recognized you, but you didn't recognize me. "
Supervisor Shaw Boyle came to a sudden realization and laughed, "That's all in the past.
Now, who in the Lamasque Province doesn't recognize you, Chairman Cooler? "
Cooler nodded very complacently and reservedly. Without waiting for Supervisor Shaw Boyle to take care of him, he found a seat and sat down, then patted the table in front of him.
"Supervisor Shaw Boyle, I wonder what you've invited me to discuss this time?"
Supervisor Shaw Boyle smiled and didn't answer. His gaze turned to the few subordinates behind Cooler.
How could Cooler not understand his meaning? He lightly snorted, and said, "These are my most trusted companions. If there's anything, you can say it in front of them."
Supervisor Shaw Boyle smiled faintly and didn't insist. He chose the seat opposite Cooler and sat down.
After a moment of silence, Supervisor Shaw Boyle asked, "Chairman Cooler, I wonder if you have any plans for the future of the Lamasque Province?"
Cooler narrowed his eyes, and asked back, "Supervisor Shaw Boyle, what do you mean by that?"
"I'm sure you're well aware that the Lamasque Province can't remain in this state forever. It will eventually return to normal.
Then, Chairman Cooler, as the chairman of the Workers' Union, don't you have any ideas? "
Cooler's heart moved. He looked at Supervisor Shaw Boyle, and said tentatively, "If the New Flyer is willing to assist our Union in restoring order in the province, we will certainly repay this in the future."
Supervisor Shaw Boyle shook his head.
"Chairman Cooler, restoring order in the province isn't difficult. The difficult part is how to maintain it.
To put it bluntly, have you thought about how to manage the entire Lamasque Province? "
Cooler was stunned.
Although he had thought about this question many times, he was still just an ordinary worker. He didn't have any knowledge in this area. Even if someone had pointed it out to him, he was completely clueless.
Now that he was asked by Supervisor Shaw Boyle, he thought about it, but could only answer according to the answer that someone had pointed out to him before.
"First, we need to rebuild the law. Then, we need to restore communications, transportation, electricity, and other basic facilities.
As long as we can satisfy the basic needs of the majority, it's actually very easy to manage. "
Supervisor Shaw Boyle sighed, "Chairman Cooler, it seems that you haven't seriously thought about this problem.
Since that's the case, we have nothing to talk about this time. When you have thought it through, we can continue this topic. "
The faces of Cleverly and his subordinates behind him all changed.
"What do you mean by this?" Cooler sternly asked.
"Supervisor Shaw Boyle, could it be that you specially invited me here just to make fun of me?"
"No, I definitely didn't mean that." Supervisor Shaw Boyle shook his head.
"I very seriously wanted to invite you here to discuss the future arrangements of the Lamasque Province.
But Chairman Cooler, you clearly aren't prepared. There's no meaning in continuing our conversation today, so let's end it here. "
Cooler could be said to be awe-inspiring in the Lamasque Province in the past year. Everyone had to be a bit apprehensive when seeing him. Even those high and mighty nobles had to lower their heads in front of him. Now that Supervisor Shaw Boyle had unceremoniously ordered him to leave, he suddenly felt a bit suffocated in his chest.
"What?
Supervisor Shaw Boyle, what do you think I'm not prepared for? "Cooler's tone couldn't help but carry a bit of gloominess.
"Or do I have to follow the arrangements of your New Flyer?"
Supervisor Shaw Boyle turned a blind eye to the ominous glint in the eyes of Cooler and his subordinates behind him. He still maintained a smile and nodded, "Yes.
Our New Flyer already has a detailed plan for the future of the Lamasque Province. I hope that Chairman Cooler can think about it carefully and work hard to cooperate with our work. "
"Oh?" Cooler dragged out his voice.
"Dare I ask Supervisor Shaw Boyle, how many guards did your New Flyer invest in the Lamasque Province for you to dare say such words?"
Supervisor Xiao Boyue smiled faintly and took a sip of his tea, but he didn't answer.
Cooler flew into a rage and slammed the table with force. He stood up abruptly and glared at Supervisor Shaw Boyle. His mouth trembled, but he only snorted heavily and turned around to leave.
Several of his subordinates hurriedly followed him out. One of them moved closer to Cooler and asked doubtfully, "Boss, this guy dares to speak like that. Why didn't you order us to chop him up?"
"Idiot!" Cooler glared at him fiercely.
"Do you know what kind of person he is?
Chop him up?
Do you believe that the New Flyer can flatten the entire Lamasque Province in minutes? "
Several of his subordinates looked at each other and were speechless.
The reputation of the New Flyer didn't just rely on them sweeping the Sines with all kinds of magic machines.
What truly made everyone wary of it was its previous glorious battle record.
The past thirty years of history had already proved that once the New Flyer supported a country, that country would inevitably become incomparably powerful. Even the two great empires couldn't avoid this.
In front of such terrifying strength, no matter how arrogant Cooler was, he couldn't possibly think that he could resist the New Flyer with only a few tens of thousands of workers and less than ten thousand soldiers of the former Kandla Empire under his command.
But when Cooler tried to calm himself down, a trace of joy appeared in his heart.
No matter what, the New Flyer had specially invited him over to discuss the future arrangements of the Lamasque Province. This proved that they at least acknowledged his current position in the Lamasque Province.
This would be a decisive help for him to truly control the entire Lamasque Province in the future. If he really obtained the support of the New Flyer, becoming the new governor of the Lamasque Province would no longer be a fantasy.
Thinking of this, Cooler took a deep breath and once again put on a confident appearance and strode forward.
What was the name of the bookworm who gave him pointers before?
It was time to find him again and ask him what he should do in the future.
What Cleaveri didn't know was that in the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's branch, manager Xiao Boyue had already taken out a small book. He drew a line under Cleaveri's name before giving orders to his subordinates.
"Go and contact the next one."
