After concluding his conversation with the French businessman Wilson, Cavour, accompanied by Governor Valne, met with the distinguished merchants and bankers in the hall, encouraging them to continue striving for the prosperity of Chambéry, while promising to consider implementing some tax exemption policies in Chambéry.
The foreign enterprises and bankers, upon hearing the possibility of tax exemptions, all expressed their appreciation to Cavour.
The reason these foreign enterprises came to Chambéry was to take advantage of the low labor costs, which was also Chambéry's only competitive edge.
If Cavour could reduce their taxes, then they would earn more money.
After saying this, Cavour ordered the servants attending the banquet to prepare a glass of red wine for him. After a while, a servant brought the red wine to Cavour.
Cavour raised the glass of red wine in his hand and said loudly to everyone present, "Ladies and gentlemen, please quiet down for a moment!"
