Chapter 821: 260. Start the tough attack

Noland Lee’s remarks elicited disparate expressions from the three people at the scene.

Denise Green was emotionally stirred by Noland, an excitable flush spreading across her pretty face.

Selena’s eyes flickered with appreciation as she gazed intently at Noland.

Lonco Pomida, with his arms crossed, furrowed his brows in deep thought.

After a while, Lonco Pomida asked:

“I admit that your plan is grand and seems very promising, but the problem is…”

Lonco Pomida paused for half a second:

“The issue is where will the money come from? The Deep Sea Branch has a solid foundation and could barely afford the expenses of replacing metal items within the Core Circle. But smaller wizard forces can only replace a fraction of their magical devices.

“Moreover, we both know the Charnel Family is wealthy, but expecting them to switch all their sailing ships to non-metallic ones seems a bit unrealistic.

“Although I’m not too knowledgeable about Magic Currency Studies, I would think that such a significant expenditure could affect the Charnel Family’s daily operations, right? What about this issue then?”

Noland Lee picked up a chess piece from the Magic Model.

This chess piece bore the Emblem of Scales, representing the Mantas Family that dominated the City of Suman Trading Center.

“The Mantas Family likes gold coins, so we’ll give them gold coins,”

Noland said leisurely:

“Let the Mantas Family pay for the entire island to replace the metal sailing ships, and we’ll carve out a small portion of the future trade and production profits for them, allowing them to obtain a substantial number of gold coins every year for ten years, or even longer. Wouldn’t this resolve the issue of funding for the construction of non-metallic ships?”

“This can be done too…” Lonco Pomida stared blankly for a moment and turned to his sister sitting beside him:

“Selena, is Jarvis’s idea feasible?”

“It is, Brother,” Selena nodded:

“I’ve already communicated with the Mantas Family. The Pangula Family and the Deep Sea Branch will handle the production of non-metallic ore, the Hayden Family will handle the construction of non-metallic ships, and the Charnel Family will be the biggest buyer.

“As long as the terms of the Magic Contract are detailed and comprehensive, and we negotiate with the various forces about a regular schedule and process for paying gold coins to the Mantas Family, and devise a complete penalty mechanism for breaches, the Mantas Family would be willing to entrust us at the Deep Sea Branch to communicate with each wizard family and force, and then sign long-term magic currency contracts under the supervision of the Deep Sea Branch.

“Once this magic currency contract is established, the Mantas Family will, within five years, pay the Hayden Family on behalf of the wizard forces at scheduled intervals the funds for constructing non-metallic ships. Correspondingly, within the next ten years, all wizard forces that borrow Mantas Family gold coins to purchase non-metallic ships must regularly repay gold coins to the Mantas Family to settle their debts.

Selena looked at her contemplative older brother and said:

“I’ve got it figured out, Brother. Although Jarvis didn’t make it explicit, the most crucial part of the entire plan is his ore distribution map. It can be said, the non-metallic mineral resources he has identified are the catalyst and the link of the entire plan. The ore distribution maps he provides simultaneously launch the whole plan and connect all who are involved in replacing the metal ships.”

Noland Lee raised an eyebrow, casting an approving glance at Selena.

Before today’s meeting, Noland had simply asked Selena to negotiate with various parties, without fully disclosing the plan to her.

Selena truly was an experienced administrative witch and quickly identified the key to the entire plan.

She was right, everything was based on the ore distribution map provided by Noland Lee.

Due to the popularity of magic metals, metal ores have always been more marketable than non-metallic ones.

For this reason, the Pangula Family had always focused on exploring metal ores rather than non-metallic ones.

Noland estimated that at least 80% of the ore resources not yet identified by the Pangula Family were non-metallic.

As long as he held the distribution map of the non-metallic ores in his hands, Noland would essentially control the lifeline of the entire plan.

So could there be a possibility that the Pangula Family’s exploration teams could preempt Noland by prospecting all the non-metallic ores on every isle?

Absolutely not.

Noland Lee’s Deconstruction Technique annihilated all other prospecting methods in all respects.noveldrama

With a mere thought, in just a second, he could obtain the ore resource distribution of a particular island.

This efficiency far surpassed that of the Pangula Family’s explorations, which took as little as a month or as much as half a year.

How could the Pangula Family compare to Noland?

They might as well stick to mining and smelting ore earnestly.

Of course, it was possible that the Pangula Family had already identified the distribution of non-metallic ores but had not disclosed it publicly.

But what if the Pangula Family refused to comply, took a hard stance, and was determined to claim the market for prospecting non-metallic ores, even at the cost of making Noland disappear?

Heh.

The Pangula Family would never know that Noland Lee was the key figure in triggering the golden age of the Suman Archipelago.

In the soul contract Noland had signed with Selena, he had specifically noted one point:

Noland Lee would never, ever, step into the limelight.

His ore distribution map would be handed over in the name of Selena.

The Deep Sea Branch would forever be the one giving the Pangula Family instructions to mine the ores.
