"Hmph, they still have faces."
Hot sand's fleet came uninvited. Under the circumstance that the enemy and friends were unknown, all the maritime forces of the Huanhai Protectorate were dispatched and stood guard outside the port.
Daelin also boarded the ship, and he didn't mind using the top battleship to teach the enemy a lesson.
But then Hotsand's fleet stopped at a safe distance and sloganed to show friendliness.
What Li De didn't expect was that this time, Resha personally brought the fleet here. This sly guy came to the Fenwei and went straight to Li De. As soon as he met, he took the initiative to apologize, saying that he only learned about the use of force by the Rusty Water chaebol, so he hurried over to support.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this guy's support is fake, and I'm afraid that picking peaches is real.
But after all, reaching out and not hitting the smiling face, since Resha said so, Li De and the others also pretended to be confused. In the process of greeting, Resha had a panoramic view of the current situation.
The third-class ship left by the rusty chaebol had not been dragged into the port and parked at sea in despair, and the huge top-level battleship not far away made him particularly fearful.
After learning from Li De that Kul Tiras was his new ally, Hot Sand's expression became more and more rigid.
Now this trade king has some regrets. Before, he thought that Li De was still weak and he could let him handle it. That's why he chose a wait-and-see attitude in the conflict between the Huanhai Duhu and the Rusty Water chaebol.
Combined with the latest information from the Kingdom Continent, it seems that the relationship with the Protector of Vast Sea needs to be reconsidered.
"Speaking of which, I would also like to congratulate Your Excellency for defeating those orcs, and we must continue to maintain a good relationship in the future."
When Resha said this, Li Dehen's teeth were itchy. This guy on both sides of the first mouse would not have come so quickly if he hadn't learned about the defeat of the orcs. He must also be interested in the huge market in the mainland of the kingdom.
Of course, there is no need to tear up his face with him. The business can still continue in the future, but the shipping price for him will definitely be higher than that of Dai Lin. Moreover, Li De won't take Hot Sand to visit the spinning mill. It doesn't matter if Dai Lin doesn't understand technology. It's not good for other goblins to see the production line.
After talking about some scenes in this way, they both felt a little embarrassed in the atmosphere. Resha knew that it was not the right time for her to come, and there was no point in staying any longer.
However, when saying goodbye, Resha still said a few words from her heart.
"My fleet will definitely protect the trade routes between us, but otherwise, please forgive me for being helpless, Rusty Water is also a very influential chaebol, everyone is on Kezan Island, you know.
Besides, there's something involved... sigh, Minister Nogforge, some things are better left behind. "
After all, it was the former boss, and Hot Sand was not very polite when he spoke to Nogfogg.
It was only after the hot sand left, everyone returned to the shore, and Li De was still thinking about the meaning of the hot sand.
"What is Hot Sand trying to say? He doesn't want us to sell the goods to the Rustwater chaebol, right? Tanaris is so close to Kezan, why should he make a difference for Rustywater's middlemen? The conflict with Rusty Water is irreconcilable. Since he is still the trade king, how can he say such a thing?"
Li De only regarded the hot sand as hoping to make a living for the rusty yarn business, so he said contemptuously.
Unexpectedly, Nogfogg shook his head.
"The hot sand king is not talking about this, he is referring to the venture capital firm."
It was also about the spinning mill that made everyone so excited that Li De almost forgot about the venture capital company, and Dai Lin became curious when he talked about it.
"Venture capital company? I have also heard of this organization, a group of guys who are good at drilling and speculating. Is the yarn business also conflicting with them?
But I heard that they only raise prices for raw materials such as herbs, minerals, agricultural products, etc. I have never heard of them getting involved in the textile industry. "
Nogfogg laughed again. In the few months that Li De left, what they had created was not just the yarn business.
"This will have to wait until you return to Gadgetzan, and then you will understand at a glance."
This guy deliberately wanted to betray him, and everyone had to accompany him. Take the monitor lizard car back to Gadgetzan again, and arrange a room for Daelin at the Gadgetzan Hotel.
Nogfogg asked someone to carry a sack and put it in front of Li De and Dai Lin.
"Duhu, take a look."
Li De looked at the sack curiously. From the state it stood on the ground, he knew that it contained granular things.
"What, it's so mysterious..."
As he spoke, Li De took out his dagger, opened the mouth of the sack, and found that it was filled with tiny white particles.
Dai Lin took the lead and reached out to grab a handful, felt the texture, and left a small pinch in his mouth to taste.
"Isn't that just salt?"
"Haha, yes, it's salt, but it's also white gold."
Li De seemed to understand something.
"Is this from the Shining Plains?"
"That's right, I've been a waste of money before. There's a lot of high-quality rock salt in the Glitter Plains, and I'm only using it for racing! It's all refined salt, and it's the one that **** off the VCs."
Salt and iron monopoly, this is an absolute profiteering business. Just where exactly did Nogfogg sell it? It should be known that the biggest business partner of Huanhai Duhu is Kezan, but Kezan is a large island and is not lacking in salt. The technical threshold for refined salt is not high, and the price advantage of these salts in Kezan is not too big.
Nogfogg put his hand into the salt bag, picked it up repeatedly and let the salt fall like sand, and said in a sigh.
"Salt, things are everywhere in our place, but for some people, they are more precious than life. How many years has the venture capital company exploited two races just by relying on a salt well they control?"
These words finally reminded Li De, and he reacted instantly. The salt may end up being sold to Desolace, a wasteland in the midwest of Kalimdor.
The great division in ancient times completely changed the environment of Desolate Land. The originally endless grasslands became barren. Basically, the only greenery was just the tundra on the highlands.
But it is such a wasteland, but crowded with two tall and strong races: centaurs and tauren, their huge bodies make them have to eat a lot of salt on a regular basis.
Venture capital firms have taken control of a local salt well a long time ago. Relying on the salt produced, they purchased herbs from centaurs and tauren at extremely low prices, and scoured the land that was not rich.
After listening to Nogfogg's narration, Li De really didn't know how to praise him, and he specially picked other people's pillar industries to start.
However, Dai Lin heard it as if in a dream. There are still half-human, half-horse intelligent races with bull-headed heads in this world. This ancient mysterious continent really opened his eyes.
But Li De raised a question.
"The Desolate Land is not close to here. There are countless dangers in the middle, and the local races are not easy to deal with. How did you get in touch with them?"
Speaking of this matter, Norgefogg also felt a little fantastic.
"It was Gazlowe who took the initiative to contact me. After that guy took charge of Ratchet City, he has not been very calm.
He made some connections, bought the insiders of the venture capital company, and found out where their cheap raw materials came from, and then he dug up the well salt business in Desolace.
It happened that at that time, I was talking business with people in Kezan, and I met this guy who was looking for supplies everywhere, and we hit it off. Just did not expect to make a single, and was retaliated by the venture capital company. "
The goblin is really a business wizard. Gazlowe, as a supervisor, could have gotten a high salary from Hot Sand, but even so, he was not satisfied and always wanted to make some extra money.
But one thing to say, although he is also obsessed with wealth, this Gazlowe thing is really right.
Although he only wanted to make money, he inadvertently broke the monopoly of the venture capital company, allowing both races to eat relatively cheap salt, and inadvertently did some good things.
"Hey, I only thought that they were all in the raw material business, and the hot sand king and the venture capital company were competitors. But now it seems that ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the venture capital company definitely has the shares of the hot sand king.
Those desperadoes, 80% are the white gloves of several top chaebols, no wonder they can eat their arrogance after so many years. That guy Gazlowe is miserable, and the pay cut is all light. I'm afraid that it will be difficult for him to become a trade prince. "
Nogfogg said with emotion, Li De thought he had decided to back down, and quickly comforted him.
"Don't think too much, we are different from Gazlowe, and we don't belong to him. Whether to do the rock salt business or do it in the future, there is a yarn business, and I am not afraid that he will not share some benefits. He can come to tell us this today, and he must have this meaning."
However, Norgefogg really wasn't lost for this.
"Of course we have to do business, but we won't be able to partner with Gazlowe in the future. Without their ships, we would go by sea, and the cost would be too high. Even if it was shipped to Desolate Land, there would be no price advantage."
