Chapter 113: Turmoil
"Since you introduced me to him, please take me to meet him. ”
In response to Golon's sudden mention, Cassandra showed the calmness and calmness of the superiors, as well as her unreserved trust in Golon, she didn't have any discoloration on her face, and she agreed to his request without even asking who Goron was introducing him.
In the meeting room, Goron, the goblin merchant Takin Hillman, and the boss of Lao Cai, Cassandra, finally had their first three-way meeting.
To Golon's surprise, the goblin merchant and the big boss not only knew each other, but they were also very familiar, just
"Hey, hey, hey~~~!, gold coins, my little Goron, you're going to bring me to this damn woman, don't you know how troublesome she is, how hateful and disgusting the goblins are, and I feel as bad as if I had lost my wallet~~~!"
"That's exactly what I'm trying to say, my dear, if the partner you want to introduce me to is this filthy, ugly, vile green-skinned dwarf, then allow me to say no. ”
As soon as the two sides met, they unceremoniously sarcastic and sarcastic to each other, so that Goron's head, which had just planned a beautiful future not long ago, instantly turned into two big ones. He really didn't expect that the two of them would be in such an incompatible relationship.
It's really a bit strange to say, the miserly goblin who only recognizes gold coins and not people, and the big boss of the old street who can still talk and laugh calmly even in front of his life-and-death rivals, at this time, he pointed at each other's noses and scolded and ridiculed each other like two awkward children, and the good image established by the two people in Golon's mind was instantly ruined.
After some hard work. Goron finally figured out the grudge entanglement between the two, or should it be said "that little bit of", which really made Goron feel the boredom of the god of fate, and the relationship between them was even related to Golon.
Not so long ago. The goblin merchant traded a batch of seasonings and daily necessities from the black hand ogre for hundreds of exquisite jewelry. Naturally, there are dozens or even hundreds of times the attractive profits, but the problem is that this batch of jewelry is naturally all stolen goods, and they have left the magic brand of the Chamber of Commerce to which they belong, which is both a trademark. It is also convenient to find lost items. So, Tarkin Hillman couldn't get his hands on the pieces because he couldn't explain where the jewels came from. You can't say that you have a good relationship with the powerful person of the black hand ogre, and you are making a secret deal.
After some hard thinking, the treacherous goblin merchant turned his attention to the prostitutes of Lao Cai. As we all know, women are the creatures that love beauty the most. It is also the creature with the worst resistance to jewelry. And the women of Lao Cai are even more so. Originally, the beautiful appearance is almost all the wealth they have, and no matter how much investment they pay for beauty, they will not feel distressed, coupled with the generosity and generosity of the big boss to the girls under him, every girl in the old street has a lot of private savings.
After the local elite merchant Tong Guò dumped all the jewelry at a price slightly below the market price to the girls, trouble finally broke out, and the jewelers who had been plundered by the black hand ogre clan finally found that their lost goods, which should never see the light of day, actually appeared in the port of low tide, so they launched a search, and the prostitutes were naturally the first breakthrough.
And the chamber of commerce's investigation is actually more like a form of blackmail and blackmail. They didn't care how the jewels came out of the black hand ogre, but directly smashed all the charges on Lao Jie. Even complained to the Chamber of Commerce on the charge of "prostitutes colluding with ogres to rob the merchants of Tide Harbor" to the ridiculous "prostitutes colluded with ogres to rob the merchants of Tide Harbor", at that time Lao Cai was still living a life of patience and resignation, even the big boss would not be willing to make things big because of some jewelry, so breaking the fortune and eliminating the disaster became the only option, after being knocked hard by the Chamber of Commerce and the Jewelry Guild, the angry Lao Cai had just established an intelligence network quickly locked the culprit.
Damn goblins
At that time, Lao Cai did not have the courage to take revenge on a famous businessman in Tideport head-on, but the big boss was not a character who would only swallow his anger, so she could be said to be unscrupulous, in a "delicate way" unique to women Retaliation against the goblins, slander and slander, spread rumors, hire a large number of pickpockets to patronize the shops of the Tagin Chamber of Commerce, and spread a large amount of information that is not conducive to the Takin Chamber of Commerce, etc., so that the goblins suffered a loss of money far more than several times the income of the jewelry, which is more uncomfortable than directly killing the goblins, but this matter is really not exposed, the goblin merchants are the same as Lao Cai, and they can only grit their teeth and endure the losses, although after the evil anger, Lao Cai terminated the revenge, and although the goblins are a careful eye for revenge, but compared to endless mutual revenge, he is still more interested in how to make money again, so this matter is over, but that grudge still remained firmly in the hearts of the two bosses.
After figuring out these things, Goron could only smile bitterly, but he also knew that he had to solve this problem, otherwise the plan would not be carried out at all, but fortunately, he already knew the two people well, especially the goblin merchants, just like Tarquin Hillman was perhaps the alien who knew Goron best, and Goron also knew how to deal with him.
"Lao Cai can help you expand the scale of the Chamber of Commerce several times, or even dozens of times, in a short period of time, and of course, your net income will grow a lot every day. Counting money and counting to hand cramps may not be a dream."
After seeing the eyes of the green-skinned goblin sparkle instantly, Goron turned his head to the big boss who was sulking with his arms and said, "Now Lao Cai is in a very sensitive and very dangerous position, you are standing on the cusp of the storm, and too many people are paying attention. In any case, the identity of the 'prostitute' is too sensitive to stand in the open, because it can easily stimulate the nerves of some people, and if those people really join forces, Lao Cai will not take advantage of it, and it is almost inevitable that there will be heavy casualties. If there is an orthodox businessman who can come forward in your place at this time to accept the gangster chassis and the business vacancies that have been beaten down by the old streets but cannot be eaten in their mouths, then not only will they succeed in diverting the eyes of Tideport to other places, but will also make people subconsciously think that they are not losing to you women, but losing to business competition, so that it will be easier for them to accept the reality and not do some impulsive stupid things. After all, in the port of low tide, there is often a sudden rise or fall of a certain chamber of commerce. ”
"Gold Coins" and "The Girls of Lao Cai" are undoubtedly the death of these two people, as long as there is money to be made, as long as the danger of the girls is reduced, they can all make compromises, whether it is Takin? Hillman or Cassandra are undoubtedly sensible and smart people, and strictly speaking, their little vendetta is really not a big deal, the loss of the goblin merchant can be compensated with more gold coins, and the big boss naturally will not let go of the jewelry chamber of commerce that had blackmailed them last night, plus the Tajin Chamber of Commerce did not appear in the team that was ready to take advantage of the fire to rob the old street last night, which also satisfied the psychological bottom line of the big boss, so, when the two of them had a cold face but did not object again, this alliance was finally established。
After entering the state, the big boss and the goblin merchant were fully engaged in the aftermath discussion, including how to transfer the materials and wealth looted by the girls of Lao Cai last night to the Tarjin Chamber of Commerce, and then the goblin merchant with rich experience in selling stolen goods laundered this huge wealth and redistributed it proportionally. There are also business vacancies left by gangsters and chambers of commerce, which can be purchased from formal channels in the name of the Tarkin Chamber of Commerce, and then managed by the people of Lao Cai behind the scenes. And the captives that could revive the cold slave trade in Downtide Harbor
The women and the goblins were so engaged in their discussions, and although they often argued over the most crucial distribution of wealth, it was clear that they were both increasingly satisfied with their partners. The first is that the goblins can be unbiased and do not look at the street prostitutes in front of them without special eyes, but simply treat them as business partners, which is nothing to the goblin himself, after all, men and women, and even ogres are no different in his eyes. However, for the big bosses from Lao Cai, such a completely reciprocal dialogue environment is hard to come by. With the exception of goblins, there is no human merchant willing to do business with prostitutes on an equal footing.
And the big boss Cassandra really cares about these people around her, but the more gold coin wealth the better, but if she doesn't force it, she can make appropriate concessions in the distribution of benefits, and her concessions undoubtedly make herself more and more cute in the eyes of the goblins. In addition, Lao Cai has money and guns, but the Tajin Chamber of Commerce has a legitimate identity and various channels that Lao Cai does not have, and the two sides complement each other insufficiently, it is like a fish in water, and in the end, Ge Long even has an illusion, did these two people completely forget about him, the matchmaker and important partner?
At this moment, a series of hurried footsteps sounded, and an old street girl didn't even have time to knock on the door, she pushed the door directly and reported anxiously to the big boss and Goron: "Oh no! Big boss, this place is suddenly surrounded by the troops of the Investigation Corps~~~!"
This was really bad news, and the three of them immediately stopped talking, and looked out through the crack in the window, and sure enough, they saw hundreds of soldiers in Imperial armor fully armed to drain the water around the small building they were in, and from the rooftops and windows on the opposite side, there were many flat-ended strong crossbow archers.
The Survey Corps is not at the same level as those gangsters last night, not to mention the actual combat effectiveness of this force, resisting them is equivalent to rebelling against the Empire, which will be the worst road of no return
What went wrong? Was it the young earl? Or was it the madness of the old street last night that finally provoked this behemoth?
Just as Goron was thinking about it repeatedly, he suddenly saw a figure he was very familiar with in the corps array (to be continued......
