Vol 8 Chapter 99: strive for
What was the original intention of the Twin Cities Council?
The main tone is to develop Zaun!
It was because of the need to make the parliament look fair and just, so the three councilors from Piltover were introduced.
The real cooperation between the two parties is only based on the 'Hexgate'!
The Picheng side can only be regarded as a stake in the Shuangcheng Council, rather than having the real right to speak.
Therefore, it is only right that the entire council serve Zaun.
To put it in harsh terms, the council's mutual help in other areas is just a reward for Zaun in his spare time.
Shimmer Potion, Hextech, these are all things of Zaun, and Piltover is the one that seeks to share the benefits.
Therefore, if they want to share those benefits, then the contributions of Piltover are what they should do.
But now?
Midarda used some words to confuse the real relationship between the two parties, making them seem to be equal.
She used the psychology of the 'mirror effect' to place Piltover on the weak side, which aroused the sympathy of Zaun.
If it weren't for Shirko's natural indifference to the outside world, everyone would have been taken over by Midarda.
Therefore, Silko, who reacted, immediately turned his head, and he looked at Kewen.
Ke Wen gave him a gratified look, and shook his head slightly.
Then he looked at Camille next to him and asked, "Do you agree with Mr. Midarda's words?"
Everyone immediately looked towards the auditorium.
In this regard, Camille responded flatly: "Naturally agree, since it is a cooperation, we of course have the right to share Zaun's achievements."
"Then your efforts are not enough."
Cowen said: "At the beginning of the establishment of the council, the obligations and interests were divided. The contributions you made to Zaun have already been priced, and we in Zaun have also paid for all the results of 'Hex Technology' share."
"You seem to have forgotten."
Cowen looked at Camille meaningfully: "The rights and interests of both of us are not completely equal."
"I can raise the price tag."
Camille said softly: "Zuun takes off, but Pierwater can only stay and face all the dangers. We can't bear the pressure, so Piltover needs to take off too."
She got straight to the point: "What do we need to pay? Will you help Piltover become a floating city?"
To this, Kewen gave a cruel answer: "impossible."
Everyone was stunned.
"Why?"
Camille has a bad feeling, she is worried that Ke Wen will kill the donkey! Worried that after Zaun takes off, they will completely shake off Pierwater.
So Camille quickly said while raising his guard: "We can give all our sincerity!"
"One leaf blinds the eyes, eager for quick success."
Ke Wen sighed slightly and shook his head: "You have only seen the miraculous sight of the floating city, but you have not considered what Pierwater will lose if it also becomes a floating city."
"lose?"
Camille frowned, but just like Ke Wen said, she was blinded by a leaf, and she couldn't figure out the relationship between gains and losses for a short time.
"Cowen."
Heimerdinger jumped off the seat and came here, he sincerely sought answers: "You'd better just say it, even I can't think of what I will lose for the time being."
Facing Heimerdinger, Kewen still has to save face.
So he reminded: "Why did Pierwater develop so fast?"
"Canal!" Heimerdinger replied immediately.
Then he was taken aback, and repeated: "Canal?!"
"That's right."
Ke Wen nodded: "Pierwater has become the hub of the waterway, so it has become the economic center of the world. Once it becomes a floating city, you will lose all the benefits of shipping."
Midarda who also came over immediately interjected: "Isn't there still a 'Hexgate'?"
"What is the throughput of the Hexagate?"
Kewen looked up at the other party: "Those who can use airships for transportation are only a small number of large forces. Are you planning to only take high-end transactions?"
He spread his hands: "If you decide to give up the mid- and low-end shipping benefits, then I have nothing to say."
"this…"
Myrdalda was speechless, and couldn't help looking at Camille.
"It was me who lost sight of the other."
Camille admitted her mistake frankly, she bent her neck for the first time in front of people, nodded slowly and said: "Indeed, shipping is the economic foundation of Pierwater, and it should not be given up for the wonders of the floating city. "
"That's right!"
Heimerdinger also echoed in a daze: "The Flying Gate only improves the transportation speed of the high-end market, but it can't support the development of the entire Piltover just by trading with large forces!"
"Then..." Camille immediately changed his target: "Let's give up on the matter of the floating city, but what about other aspects?"
She continued to fight for: "For example, a city-wide energy supply system like Zaun, such as the shield that can cover and protect the entire city."
Camille expressed his concern in a low tone: "As I said, after Zaun took off, all the pressure came on us Piltover, and Piltover became the first place for all external forces to invade Zaun. road barrier."
"How good is this?" Ke Wen smiled: "If you want to fight for benefits, you have to start from the practical aspect."
"Then let's talk now."
He said to Camille: "Those two technologies can be given to you, so what can you pay?"
"Pay for the future!"
Camille immediately replied: "Whoever wants to invade Zaun in the future, we, Pierwater, will help Zaun to resist the invaders with all our strength! As long as the leather city is not broken, we will not let any war spread to Zaun. !"
"how?"
She asked Kewen back: "Is this guarantee, together with the countless dangers that Piltover will bear, enough to exchange for those two technologies?"
"Only one item is enough." Kewen replied: "It can be exchanged for city shield technology, and city energy technology, Zaun must see practical benefits."
Camille is a very courageous person.
So she immediately said: "You build the power center! All the revenue goes to Zaun! I only want the tax part!"
"You?" Ke Wen confirmed: "Or Piltover?"
"It's mine~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Camille said softly, "The benefit from the tax has nothing to do with Piltover. "
"Ms. Philos, this..."
Heimerdinger hesitated to speak.
Camille looked at the other party frankly: "It is enough for citizens to enjoy the improvement of living conditions. I am the one who pays. Citizens are not entitled to share the benefits."
"That's right!"
Knowing that she is eligible to share in it, Midarda immediately echoed: "Mr. Dean, Ms. Ferros is already very kind. People don't have to do anything, and they can enjoy better living conditions. So the part of the tax Benefits should no longer be shared with the public.”
"This... hey, well, after all, I don't understand politics."
Heimerdinger sighed, he gave up and continued to care about it...
