No matter where the merchants were from, anyone who wanted to exploit oil here had to obtain a license from the Petroleum Chamber of Commerce. This was done for better management and control, so as to avoid the recurrence of the chaos.

The merchants also agreed very much to the establishment of the Petroleum Chamber of Commerce.

Everyone knew that it was easy to do business in peaceful and prosperous times, and they would be the most miserable people during troubled times.

There were plenty of crazy people who would destroy roads and railways if they could not get their hands on the oil. If that happened, merchants could not transport oil out even if they had it, and could only worry. Moreover, with the presence of oil merchants from all over the country, the authority of the Petroleum Chamber of Commerce were sure to rise.

The rules had been set ever since. That was why Saul called Jasper over.

“Although you snatched the oil field from Cain, no one will care about it. After all, Cain himself was a bandit. But you still have to reapply to the Petroleum Chamber of Commerce for this oil production right…”

“You don’t want to be the next Cain, an oil businessman without paperwork, do you?”

Only then did Jasper understand Saul’s intentions, and his eyes were full of gratitude.
