Civilization of Azeroth: Start the Great Pyramid
Chapter 28: Journey to Kozan and the Fleet
On the sea from Kezan Island back to Tanaris, there were two single-deck three-masted sailing warships, followed by four medium-sized sloops on the left and right. And in the middle of the fleet, is escorting six merchant ships.
In addition to the original merchant ship, the remaining ten battleships and five merchant ships were the fruits of Li De's trip.
'It's not easy for this trade king to be hot sand...'
Li De, who was standing on the bow, thought so, that the month he and Norgefogg went to Kezan actually had a very bad beginning.
Because of the strategic weapon resources such as warships and wood, few powerful goblins are willing to sell them. As for those who are not so powerful? They simply can't get it.
Nogfogg visited several business partners one after another, and even contacted a good friend of his: Gazlowe, who was supervising the construction of Ratchet.
They used to be colleagues, but Gazlowe's status was much higher. When Nogfogg was just a product manager, Gazlowe was already the head of an important department. Trusted by the trade king, Hot Sand.
Gazlowe, who was far away in Ratchet City, sent a letter back to Nogfogg, roughly as follows:
' He had heard that Nogfogg had made a lot of money recently, and he understood his desire to further improve his status, but he suggested that Nogfogg had better stay out of the navy and the commodity trade, which could easily leave him dead. .
He did have the wood for shipbuilding, but it was all prepared for the future Ratchet City. He didn't dare to play tricks on the accounts and sell the goods of the greedy trade king to Nogforge.
Of course, as a good friend, he still gave a suggestion. If Nogfogg is not willing to give up, why not ask the trade king Resha? ’
After receiving this letter, Nogfogg seemed very distressed. He had never contacted the King of Hot Sands out of fear in his heart.
He once resigned from the king of hot sand, and then he wanted to return to the king of hot sand through business. But now these are doomed to be impossible, and he can't explain to the other party his allegiance to a human race. As for concealment? He didn't believe that he could hide a trade king.
Just like he didn't think that he could negotiate this business by asking the trade king, Resha.
However, unlike Nogfogg's idea, Li De really wanted to meet this mysterious trade king. For the master of the four neutral cities, with such a strong strength, and being able to stand alone between the alliance and the tribe, it is hard not to let Li De be interested in him.
In the end, at Li De's strong request, Norgefogg bit the bullet and led Li De to visit the king of hot sand.
At first, Li De also hid his identity and disguised himself as a guard in the entourage. But within two minutes of meeting, Resha saw through Li De who was standing behind Nogfogg.
In Hot Sand’s own words:
"I know every one of my employees. It's true that Nogfogg is capable, but he doesn't have the qualities of a leader. Now it seems that I may have a lower evaluation of Nogfogg. , No matter where you work, lack of awareness of your boss is a dangerous thing.
I don't dislike him for taking refuge with a human leader, just like I acquiesced to Rivigaz to do business with a green-skinned friend from another world.
The world is undergoing drastic changes. If you don’t want to lose your wealth, you should be prepared for the changes. The problem of human race and green orcs will be the core problem in the great changes of the world in the future.
Good businessmen tend to bet on both sides, and Rivegaz made the line for orcs and orcs by making orcs. As for the Terran side, I'm actually still struggling with how to communicate with the old-fashioned Terran Kingdom. At this time, a new leader of the human race appeared in front of me. Do you think I should be happy? Should you be happy? "
The trade king's words were so blatant that Li De was caught off guard, but he soon understood the confidence of the king of hot sand for daring to show his cards in the negotiation: strength.
His strength is strong enough to shake the balance of the world. In the face of absolute strength, he naturally disdains to play some tricks, which will increase his transaction costs.
In a word, the trade king, Resha, is investing in the future world structure. On the orc side, he instructed Livigaz to trade with him to build sea ships.
On the Terran side, he intends to support Li De before he can't get in touch with other people of higher status. Of course, it is only intentional. If he wants to facilitate a transaction, Li De must prove that he has the ability to be supported.
The trade king wanted Lidner's vote to find a goblin on the island and to collect a sum of 50,000 gold coins from him.
The one who owes money to the king of hot sand is a little **** who has recently risen in the trading market, his name is Gallywix.
This goblin is a little different. He is not only good at playing contract tricks, but also dares to use gangster-like hooligan methods: extortion and intimidation by creating explosions.
A variety of tricks made him invincible in trading, and he soon became famous. So much so that Risa still admired him at first and hired him to do things for himself.
In the end, I didn't expect this guy to be so daring, and he even put together the trade king, Resha, to hack his money and go to the Rusty Water chaebol.
Although the amount of money that was hacked was not much, it was only 50,000 gold coins, but it involved the face of the trade king.
Hot Sand dispatched several teams to try to recover the money from Gallywix, but that guy was too slick, and his engineering skills were really strong.
Because behind that guy is also a chaebol, although his strength is not as good as Hot Sand. But as the king of trade, Hot Sand naturally couldn't end the game in person or use more drastic means.
Only then did he take this opportunity to throw this problem to Li De as a test for him.
After hearing Risa's request, Nogfogg looked at Li De with some worry. Naturally, he was not worried about Li De being a hooligan in a trading market, but worried that Li De would be provoked.
In any case, Li De is also a leader and the master of northern Tanaris. To ask him to act like a thug to do this kind of collection work is simply a humiliation to the Protector.
However, what Nogfogg didn't expect was that Li De responded without hesitation. In his view, face is something that cannot be eaten as a meal. Beating up a hooligan can get you a real warship, what's more profitable than that?
Seeing that Li De agreed so readily, Hot Sand put the thick cigar in his mouth and applauded violently with both hands.
"Happy, I admire people with such a temper! Norgefogg, if you want to have a good development, you'd better try to figure out the temper of your new owner."
Li De realized that Risa was a little uncomfortable about the ex-employee's transfer to others, otherwise he wouldn't have ridiculed Norgefogg over and over again.
Li De will definitely not acquiesce to this kind of provocative behavior.
"I prefer laws and contracts to figuring out complicated human hearts. As long as I do business, I will reuse all capable people. I have a deep understanding of Nogfogg's ability. He has a lot of work that is more important than figuring out people's hearts. "
After being hit with a soft nail, Hot Sand values Li De even more. You can't be a good leader. If you support a coward, the cooperation will not last long.
The next thing was much simpler. After getting the information about Gallywix from Hot Sand, Li De took a few people with him to find trouble with that guy.
When he saw Gallywix's residence, Li De knew that the guy from Hot Sand had set him up.
What kind of rascal is Gallywix? His current strength is not necessarily much weaker than the original Nogfogg.
It seems that this guy has amassed a lot of money in the financial market by cutting leeks and grey methods. With this first pot of gold, he is reaching out to the real field. He runs a large-scale engine factory. In addition to the racing field, he is probably eyeing the big cake of the military industry.
Li De finally understood why the first few groups couldn't do anything about Gallywix. If it weren't for the hero of Li De, they would also be in trouble. Gallywix's 30-person workers' pickets armed to the teeth .
Long story short, after a battle of force and strategy, Li De finally entered Gallywix's office and successfully recovered the money from Hot Sand from him.
After accepting the nomination form, the King of Hot Sand was satisfied and agreed to a "fair deal~www.wuxiaspot.com~" from his fleet, and abolished two sixth-class sail battleships at a price of 20,000 gold coins each. It is difficult to say whether this price is fair or not. I bought two old ships at the price of purchasing new ships; of course, we must also consider that sailing battleships are a kind of "commodity" with no market price.
In addition to the two battleships, 8 sloops were purchased. These are quite cheap. After all, they are less than 100 tons of "small boats", and the unit price is 1,000 gold coins.
In this way, Li De used the price of 48,000 gold coins to own a fleet that was not satisfactory.
In addition to this, the trade king generously allocated five merchant ships. Of course, these five merchant ships were not given to Li De, but were used to build the trade route between the hot sand chaebol and Tanaris.
This is a great good thing for Li De. The business is on both sides. These merchant ships are all under the flag of the hot sand chaebol. Using these ships for trade is much safer than his own merchant ships.
After the two sides signed the mutual tariff-free agreement, Li De spent all the remaining gold coins in a good mood, and purchased a lot of grain, cotton, wood, and utensils, and then he returned with satisfaction.
Resha's side is also very happy. Don't look at the transaction of tens of thousands of gold coins. It seems that there is no more eye-catching transaction of hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands in the financial market.
But in fact, the wealth that circulates in the financial market often has a huge amount of water. Those currencies that are only circulated in the financial market and are unwilling to enter the entity, the number is meaningless.
Putting these aside for the time being, Li De and Nogfogg set sail from the port of Kezan, not caring at all whether this trip has forged an enemy of Gallywix, and all they have in mind is the next step in the construction of Tanaris plan.
