Green Monster Epic

Chapter 711 Next Step

“I think now is the most appropriate time to release the news!!”

Jay has now been promoted. As the liaison officer between the Oak Trade Group and the Green Field Tribe, he also has full authority to handle decisions and cooperation with the Green Field Tribe.

This time, taking advantage of Allen's return to Namur Fortress, Jay took the initiative to visit Allen, preparing to persuade him to start the next action.

Carefully calculated, it has been two years since Allen invited him to Green Lake Town as a guest to discuss cooperation matters. Originally, I thought that this cooperation would be promoted and reached in a not-so-long time, but unexpectedly, reality has pushed their plan back again and again, and it has not yet moved to the second step.

However, this does not mean that the cooperation between Green Field and the Oak Trade Group has been temporarily interrupted. On the contrary, due to the rising trend of magic cooking, the cooperation between the two parties has become even closer.

In order to help the Green Field Tribe search for various ingredients, spices, and magic plants needed, the Oak Trade Group launched its own institutions all over the world, frantically sweeping goods and transporting them to the Green Field Tribe's territory. This enabled the chefs of the Green Field Tribe to have enough ingredients to cook magic dishes for adventurers who came from outside to seek breakthroughs.

Of course, the Oak Trade Group also made a lot of money from it, and the profit was very considerable. After all, the price of each magic dish is not cheap, and their sales of ingredients to the Green Field Tribe have also risen.

On the contrary, Allen did not value this short-term benefit. When the crowds poured into the Green Field Tribe, he was constantly knocking on the tribe's restaurants and taverns, and would never allow them to raise prices. Instead, he asked them to lower prices as much as possible, just to take advantage of this wave of trends to spread the reputation of magic dishes more widely.

What could be more convincing than a diner who has tasted magic dishes and personally experienced the improvement brought by the dishes?

Although the proportion of diners who came later and broke through bottlenecks after trying magic dishes continued to shrink, from the initial 30%-40% to less than 20%, the total number of people tasting the dishes was there, and the effect was better than the breakthrough effect of other forces, which ultimately made the reputation of magic dishes further enhanced.

There must be some complaints in the tribe. After all, most chefs who major in magic cooking, as well as tavern owners who hire magic chefs, rely on this business to make money. Seeing such a good opportunity to make a lot of money, but Allen suppressed them and did not allow them to do so, anyone would be unhappy.

However, the tribe controls the entire supply channel of ingredients. Whoever dares not listen will not be given ingredients. In addition, Allen's prestige in the tribe ultimately fulfilled Allen's wishes, allowing most of the adventurers who came from afar to have enough funds to enjoy their exclusive magic dishes.

“So, is your trade group ready?”

Allen is very clear in his mind that the biggest benefit of their tribe does not lie in the seemingly huge profit margin of cooking magic dishes at this time. Even if they make hundreds or thousands of dishes, the actual profit after deducting the cost of ingredients and labor is not difficult to imagine. At least for a huge tribe like Green Field, this profit is somewhat insufficient.

The real big deal is the batch of dish recipes that their tribe has been imprinting for more than a year and stored in the tribe's public treasury. With the current hype and effect, the value of this batch of recipes has soared at least ten times more than two years ago.

As long as I sell this batch of recipes now, the benefits and resources I exchange will definitely be more than the tribe's total income for several years.

And this is not the real purpose of Allen's layout. The resources and funds exchanged for selling the recipes are just incidental.

“Please rest assured, Your Excellency Allen. Starting half a year ago, our trade group has sent envoys to visit large forces in the North and South Continents. They have all expressed a strong interest in the magic dish recipes.”

“Now, as long as Your Excellency nods and hands over the 1,300 sets of recipes to our trade group for sale, we will definitely be able to convert them into a huge amount of wealth in a short period of time and send them to your tribe.”

Jay nodded confidently, his face full of vigor and fighting spirit.

As long as he can successfully complete this cooperation, Jay will be able to enter the high-level ranks of the trade group and become the youngest member of the family to be promoted to the high-level ranks, giving him the upper hand in the future power struggle for family inheritance.

“Moreover, according to our trade group's statistics, the forces that really have the strength and interest in purchasing these recipes are far more than the number of recipes imprinted by Allen's patriarch. In the future, if Your Excellency Allen is willing, you can imprint another batch of recipes and hand them over to our trade group for sale. I believe there will be a considerable income every year!”

“……”

Allen looked up at this high-spirited young elf, and replied with a calm expression: “Let's finish the current matter first, and then see the results of this time for other matters.”

“Understood.”

Jay nodded, not disappointed by Allen's polite refusal.

“Then, can I take those recipes back with me this time and start distributing them in place?”

“Yes, you can.”

Although Allen knows that judging from the scale of the current influx of people, it will still take some time before the reputation of magic dishes reaches its peak. However, many things cannot be predicted in the future, and no one can guarantee what will happen in the next period of time. Knowing how to stop profits in time is also a capability that a leader should have.

“However, your trade group still has to continue to help with the collection of ingredients!!”

Allen is preparing to wait until the news of the recipe auction begins to spread, and then let the tribe's magic chefs raise prices, restore the normal operation mechanism of the business, and let them seize the tail of this trend to make a good profit and eliminate the resentment in their hearts.

“Your Excellency Allen can rest assured about this. Our trade group has also made a lot of money in this business, and we are also reluctant to give up this profitable industry!”

Jay nodded, smiling again and again.

Just two months after Jay and his caravan quietly escorted this batch of precious recipes south, news began to spread throughout the wilderness that the Oak Trade Group had obtained two sets of magic dish recipes, which immediately attracted the attention of many forces.

Compared to adventurers who are willing to travel thousands of miles to the Green Field Tribe and spend most of their wealth to taste the dishes in order to break through their own limits, large forces, although paying attention to the suddenly popular magic dishes, but with the background of their respective families, even without such dishes, the chances of family children becoming talents are actually not too high, and it is not worth the effort to rush to the territory of the Green Field Tribe to join in this excitement.

If they want to taste magic dishes on their family's territory, they have the means, such as inviting a magic chef to their family at a high price to make dishes in batches for the children of the clan.

And that's exactly what they were doing. Within the Greenwild Tribe's territory, there were already many envoys arriving with a purpose, secretly contacting and meeting with the tribe's excellent chefs, all preparing to poach magic chefs from the Greenwild Tribe to cook in their families' kitchens.

Alan watched all of this unfold. To keep these magic chefs who had learned their skills, he would have to offer even more generous terms than those families, otherwise, it would be difficult to retain them. But Alan also knew that this was unrealistic. If he gave these chefs such generous treatment, what would the other members of the tribe in other professions think?

At that time, the contradictions within the entire tribe's social strata brought about by differences in benefits and income would create even more serious negative problems, which would be even worse.

As for Alan using his authority as chieftain to suppress the behavior of these magic chefs, or even using harsh methods to suppress and threaten them, that was something Alan disdained to do.

These goblin chefs had legs and feet of their own. Alan couldn't possibly have people watching them every minute of every day, could he? If they really wanted to leave, they could always find a way. He definitely couldn't keep them if they wanted to go.

But Alan was more confident that the cohesion of the tribe's people over the years was strong enough, and that the vast majority of the goblin chefs would be more willing to stay in the tribe's territory and live with their families. Even if a small number of goblin chefs were lured away by the other party's benefits, the money they eventually earned would still be sent back to their families in the tribe, which was actually acceptable.

And those chefs who were tempted by profit and went to various parts of the world were actually contributing to the widespread reputation of magic cuisine. As long as they could use their excellent cooking skills to demonstrate the characteristics of magic cuisine everywhere, it would achieve the effect of promoting magic cuisine, and naturally attract people to actively learn magic cooking and join the magic chef system.

Returning to Fort Muir, Alan simply wanted to understand the recent situation of the fortress and, by the way, give some instructions on the development of the Eastern Foothills.

Because of the sudden popularity of magic cooking, a large number of adventurers poured into the Eastern Foothills of the Kator Mountains, which were under development, just to find various ingredients that were being purchased at high prices in this undeveloped area.

Originally, the development of the Eastern Foothills had not developed sufficient resource points like the Western Foothills because the geographical environment of the newly built castle deep in the mountains was somewhat harsh, and the conditions were relatively difficult and dangerous. It had always been lukewarm all these years.

Now, due to the demand for magic cuisine, the shortage of ingredients has caused the prices of various ingredient resources to rise several times. Under the circumstances where there is profit to be made, adventurers will naturally go wherever there is an opportunity. The Western Foothills are already covered with the footprints left by adventurers.

And in the depths of the mountains southeast of Fort Muir, that small castle that was newly built only a few decades ago has gradually gained a bit of vitality and a lot of income.

As another important link in the Thorns Ring team, Alan will inevitably pay attention to the development of the Eastern Foothills. He will always keep an eye on the development of the Eastern Foothills. The more income, the more united their entire team will be.

However, this time when he returned to the city, he happened to catch up with the regular meeting of the Thorns Ring, and it seemed that several legendary powerhouses had appeared at this meeting. Alan was invited and took the time to participate in it.

"Lord Alan is a very busy person now. I haven't been able to see you for many years."

In the Thorns Ring's exclusive conference hall, several familiar faces did indeed appear. The first to speak and tease him was Chief Fendi of the Argon Tribe.

"I'm just busy with nothing. I still can't leave this small plot of land. If you really want to see me, it's actually very easy. I'm just afraid that you are lazy and unwilling to come to my territory."

Alan smiled slightly and joked with this lizardman leader, the atmosphere was very relaxed.

On the other side, the ogre Nicol of the Heart of the Wild Tribe had become even wider and fatter. Now that he was also in the middle stage of the legendary realm, he was more mature and stable, and nodded to Alan as a greeting. Over the years, Nicol had put most of his energy into managing his tribe. Because of the communication of the Thorns Ring team and the backing of the powerful demigod tribe of Greenwild, the population of the Heart of the Wild Tribe had been increasing day by day, and it was about to reach the number of a large tribe with a population of 100,000.

For this number, Nicol personally led people to do the business of capturing slaves, and also spent a lot of capital to cooperate with other slave-hunting groups, just to get a little more ogre descendants. Now, within a thousand miles south of the Kator Mountains, it is basically impossible to find any ogre settlements with more than ten people.

However, although the population is about to meet the standard, their tribe still has a very important indicator that has not been broken through, that is, to cultivate another legendary seed.

In this matter, Alan also gave the Heart of the Wild a lot of support, so that the talents of their tribe can enjoy the same treatment as the promising young people of the Greenwild Tribe. After paying a certain price, they can check the inheritance crystal of the Greenwild Tribe, but until now, no ogre warrior has broken through this difficult hurdle.

Nicol's body and mind can be said to be exhausted. He has been fighting for this matter for more than a hundred years, and has wasted a lot of time for self-improvement. Otherwise, with his talent and ability, he should at least be in the high stage of the legendary realm, instead of just touching the threshold of the high stage as he is now.

"...Okay, next, let's talk about the affairs that the Thorns Ring has jointly completed this year."

The host of the Thorns Ring in recent years has been rotated to the Crows Claw Tribe. When Alan and the other legendary powerhouses greeted each other, a gnoll stepped onto the podium to start the routine meeting.

"I heard that the Oak Trade Association is going to sell a batch of magic cuisine recipes recently. Alan, can you tell us the bottom line, did you give them to them for sale?"

Sitting next to Alan was the kobold warlock Yogg of Urok. Regardless of what the host was saying, he lowered his voice and leaned close to Alan's ear to ask softly.

"Yes."

Alan did not hide anything. There was no way to hide this matter. After all, there was only one magic cuisine recipe, and no other force in the Ferman world had such a recipe.

"If you want to sell these recipes, you can tell us. We can meet any resources or materials you want to exchange for."

Yogg said to Alan with a slight emotion in his heart.

"It's better to benefit our allies than to benefit outsiders with such good things. Alan, you've gone a bit too far this time!!"

Aside, Fendi and Shirann, the leader of the Aman Sha Tribe, couldn't help but look sideways, and even Nicol leaned slightly towards Alan and the others, apparently all very interested in this matter.
