In Luoye Town, the alchemy workshop has been completed. Phil is wandering around the alchemy workshop with great enthusiasm, commenting one or two from time to time, with a happy smile on his face.

In comparison, Harry next to him lowered his head and his old face drooped, as if he was attending a funeral.

"This stove is really good." Harry gently stroked the new stove.

"This stove burns money!" Harry next to him muttered in a low voice.

"This big mixer is pretty good, it can stir a big pot of stuff." Phil began to praise the mixer again.

"This mixer is full of money!" Old Harry continued to murmur.

"Reinforce this reactor for me, and I will count on it for my alchemy, so don't collapse." Phil continued.

"It's better if it collapses. Don't do any alchemy in the future, it can save a lot of money." Old Harry's muttering became louder and louder.

Phil knew that old Harry was full of disgust for alchemy, so he smiled helplessly and comforted: "Harry, let it go, alchemy is not as bad as you think."

"Young Master, ask me to say that alchemy is the worst thing in the world, it costs a lot of money and is useless." Old Harry said.

"Harry, not only does my alchemy not cost money, but will also help us make a lot of money. Believe me, after the alchemy workshop is opened, you will see a lot of gold coins, and you will sigh that our vault is too small." Phil said and patted the big reactor, and then said: "Although my alchemy cannot directly refine gold, the things I refine can be exchanged for gold."

...

In the evening, Peter returned to the hotel. He hurried to the front desk and asked, "Is there any letter from me?"

"Sir, there is no letter from you today," the front desk answered.

Peter breathed a sigh of relief and said to himself: "I've survived another day!"

The purpose of Peter's trip was nominally to help Phil purchase ivory, but as a spy, Peter had long followed President Horton's instructions and did nothing. After coming to the capital, Peter wandered around all day and didn't buy a single ivory.

As time went by, Peter became more and more guilty. He was worried that Luoye Town would send letters to ask about the purchase of ivory, so he was paying attention to whether there were any letters from Luoye Town.

However, for several weeks, Peter did not receive a letter from Luoye Town, which surprised Peter. He intuition told him what might have happened in Luoye Town, so he did not contact him.

Peter wanted to go back to Luoye Town to see what happened, but he was guilty and did not dare to go back, and even did not dare to contact Luoye Town. He was afraid that Phil would ask about ivory procurement, and he would have no way to answer.

"After holding on for a few days, I can show up with Phil when the Holden Chamber of Commerce buys all the ivory on the market!" Peter muttered silently, gradually falling asleep.

At this time, the ivory acquisition of Holden Chamber of Commerce has also entered the final stage.

The Holden Chamber of Commerce mortgaged its assets and obtained a large amount of working capital, which quickly wiped out the ivory on the market.

Ivory is not a necessity for daily necessities, and it has nothing to do with daily necessities. Ivory is mainly used to make various handicrafts and decorations, which have nothing to do with daily life. Anyone who does not have handicrafts or decorations can live. Therefore, the market demand for ivory is not large. No businessman will deliberately hoard ivory, and it will not be sold if he stocks up too much.

The market demand is insufficient, and production will naturally not be improved. Unless it is ordered by the Chamber of Commerce, those hunters will not specifically hunt elephants. For hunters, the ivory thing is heavy and takes up space, which is not as profitable as fur or precious herbs.

The major chambers of commerce in the entire Eternal Kingdom only had more than 100,000 ivory stocks, and these inventory were eaten by the Holden Chamber of Commerce in one breath. Fortunately, there are only so many ivory on the market. If there are more, the financial resources of the Holden Chamber of Commerce will not be enough to buy them all.

...

The workshop of the Holden Chamber of Commerce is working day and night to process ivory into billiards.

The Holden Chamber of Commerce has almost invested in all its industries for this batch of ivory. President Holden has invested a lot in order to monopolize the billiards business. Even President Holden himself has been staying in the workshop to supervise the worker himself.

However, the progress of making ivory billiards cannot satisfy President Horton.

"It's too slow. Your progress is much slower than I expected! According to my plan, you have started selling ivory billiards now." President Holden held a freshly processed billiard with a very dissatisfied expression.

"Sorry, President, we have tried our best." The craftsman in the lead immediately defended: "It's just that the processing of ivory billiards is far more difficult than expected. This thing is too hard and very wear-resistant. We have to spend a lot of energy on every ivory ball."

President Horton knew that what the craftsmen said was true. It was indeed time-consuming and labor-intensive to process ivory billiards, but he urged: "I don't care what excuses you have, in short, I will process the first batch of ivory billiards for me as soon as possible. I have promised those high-end bars that will send new billiards. Now it has been a day since the time I promised!"

The craftsman leader thought for a while and said, "President, if you only supply a few bars, you can pick up the goods tomorrow, but if it is shipped on a large scale, you will have to wait at least ten days."

"Since that's the case, then tomorrow will be the high-end bars in Xianwang City, such as the Golden Sect Bar. If you go there, you will either be rich or noble. Let the rich people experience ivory billiards first! As for other places, wait for another ten days." President Horton ordered.

At this moment, the servant ran in from outside, and the messy footsteps and panicked expression seemed to have predicted in advance that something big happened.

"I'm so panicked, what happened?" President Horton asked with a bad look on his face.

"President, let's go out and talk." The servant said.

President Horton suddenly realized that the problem was a bit serious, so he immediately stood up and walked out of the workshop. The two came to a place where no one was. President Horton said, "Tell me quickly, what happened?"

"The Golden Sect Bar sent someone to send a message saying we don't have to send ivory billiards." The servant said.

"As for this, I'm just one day late. Go and tell them that I will definitely deliver brand new ivory billiards tomorrow." President Horton looked calm and continued: "Besides, ivory has been monopolized by our Horton Chamber of Commerce. Next, no one can provide ivory billiards except us. Is the Golden Sect Bar going to continue to use inferior wooden balls? This does not meet the high-end positioning of the Golden Sect Bar. You have to let the owner of the Golden Sect Bar understand that they have no choice!"

"President, the Golden Tent Bar said that they do not need our ivory balls anymore, they already have a replacement." The servant said.

"Substitute? Apart from us, are there anyone else who is producing ivory billiards? Is it the Luoye Town? This is impossible! All the ivory of the Chamber of Commerce has been acquired by us, and more than 100,000 ivory are piled in the warehouse behind this workshop!" President Horton subconsciously looked back at his own warehouse.

"President, this time it was indeed the depressed nobles of Luoye Town. They made a new type of billiard ball, saying that they were neither afraid of impact nor friction. They felt similar to our ivory billiard balls. The key was that the price was very cheap, and the price was only one-quarter of the ivory billiard balls. This afternoon, this new type of billiard balls had been shipped to the royal city." The servant paused and continued:

"I went to inquire specifically. The new type of billiard in Luoye Town uses a new material that I have never heard of. It seems to be called a tree... By the way, it is called resin! That new type of billiard is called resin billiard!"
