Ves did not like what he heard from Calsie.
When he initially founded the Open Consortium, the Larkinson Clan was still a small player in Davute. It was hard to get any company and material supplier to take the Larkinsons seriously.
Much of that had changed. The reputation of the clan had grown so much that the Larkinsons may have become among the most famous and renowned groups associated with Davute!
That along with years of rapid growth had improved the business circumstances of the various companies and institutions of the Larkinson Clan.
That said, the Open Consortium still played an immensely useful role to the Larkinson Clan and especially the Davute Branch.
Calsie made a good case for why the Open Consortium should not only continue to exist even after its original purpose became redundant, but also expand its membership so that it could increase its weight in Davute!
