Chapter 777: Cooperation
No matter what Li Song's purpose was, it was a fact that he sent troops to assist Zhao Hu in exterminating the Wang family, and Zhao Hu had to express it and tell him that he remembered his favor and that his efforts were not in vain.
"That's as it should be! Brother don't mind, the Wang family dares to find trouble for the elder brother on the elder brother's territory, even if the elder brother doesn't make a move, I will send someone to destroy the Wang family and give the elder brother an explanation. ”
Hearing Zhao Hu say that he owed him a favor, Li Song's face couldn't help but show a faint smile, and the purpose of his sending troops to assist Zhao Hu was to make him owe him a favor and facilitate his cooperation with him later.
"Then I'll thank my brother, I don't know if my brother invited me here today, is there anything wrong?"
After the greetings, Zhao Hu looked at Li Song with a smile on his face and went straight to the point.
"Look at me, I'm so happy, I just talked to my brother, and I forgot to invite my brother to sit inside! Let's go, brother, I'm ready for the feast, and when we're done with it, we're talking about business, how about it? ”
Seeing that Zhao Hu went straight to the point, Li Song did not directly respond to Zhao Hu's question, but patted his head, revealing a sudden look.
After speaking, Li Song took Zhao Hu's hand and walked towards the vast and splendid Li Mansion.
In the splendid hall of the Li Mansion, on two rows of mahogany tables more than a foot high, more than a dozen plates of various dishes, several plates of fresh fruit, a pot of wine and a bronze wine glass.
Zhao Hu, Zhao An, and Da Niu sat cross-legged in front of the three mahogany tables on the left side of the hall, while Li Song and two white-haired old men sat cross-legged in front of the three mahogany tables on the right side of the hall.
"Come brother, I salute you, congratulations to you Zhao Jiabao for eliminating the Flying Tiger Gang and the God of War Temple, becoming the largest force in the eastern part of the Land of Chaos, and having the strength comparable to the land of the ancestral wolf of Ten Thousand Swords Blade Rose City!"
Looking at Zhao An, who was sitting opposite, Li Song raised the wine glass full of fine wine and said loudly with a smile on his face.
Hearing Li Song's words, after seeing that he had already drunk all the wine in the cup, Zhao Hu smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass full of wine, drank the wine in the cup and said: "Thank you brother for your appreciation, in the future development of our Zhaojiabao, I hope that my brother will help me a lot." ”
As soon as Zhao Hu put down the wine glass, the beautiful maid behind him stretched out a pair of white jade hands, picked up the wine jug, and filled Zhao Hu's wine glass.
"Brother's words are out of sight, we should have helped each other! Come, let's enjoy the dance and drink at the same time. ”
Seeing Zhao Hu drink all the wine in the cup, Li Song's face showed a faint smile, and he clapped his hands vigorously, and more than a dozen young girls in green dresses slowly entered the golden hall, and gave a respectful salute to Li Song, Zhao Hu and others, and began to provoke a graceful dance.
Next, Zhao Hu chatted with Li Song while enjoying the dance of the young girl, and raised his wine glass from time to time to drink a glass of wine.
After a long time, more than a dozen young girls dressed in green retreated, Li Song raised his right hand, waved it slightly, and the two white-haired old men who were the guests got up, nodded at it, and left the hall.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Hu knew that Li Song had something to talk to him, so he nodded lightly to Zhao An and Da Niu beside him and said, "You guys are waiting for me outside." ”
Hearing Zhao Hu's words, Zhao An and Da Niu glanced at Li Song, who had a faint smile on his face, nodded lightly, got up, and left the hall.
"Brother, if you have anything to say, just say it, if I can help, I will definitely help to do it." After Zhao An and Da Niu left, Zhao Hu turned his gaze to Li Song's body and said softly.
"Brother, that's it! In addition to the fact that our Hainan Island is mountainous and has few plains, the grain grown is simply not enough to eat, and we need to import it every year to make up for it, so we do not have much grain reserves on Hainan Island.
And Zhaojiabao, where the elder brother is located, has a large plain, and can harvest a large amount of grain every year, and now there should be abundant grain reserves, I don't know if it can provide a part of our Li family at a low price? ”
Seeing Zhao Hu set his eyes on himself, Li Song didn't hesitate anymore, and looked at Zhao Hu with a pair of expectant eyes and said.
"It's a food problem! I thought it was a big deal! Don't worry, our Zhaojiabao has a lot of grain reserves, and we can sell a part of it to my brother at a low price, and it will definitely not cause a food crisis on Hainan Island. ”
Since realizing that the floods of several years have led to the extinction of grain production in the entire continent, Zhao Hu has purchased a large amount of grain from the primary science and technology plane, and stored it in Zhaojiabao, ready to deal with unexpected needs, and make a lot of money when the price of grain rises sharply, so he is very happy to agree to Li Song's request.
Anyway, the population of Hainan Island is not very large, and selling a part of Li Song at a low price, although the money earned is a little less, but it can also earn a little, and befriend Li Song, the controller of Hainan Island, is conducive to the development and growth of Zhaojiabao.
Seeing that Zhao Hu agreed to his request, Li Song nodded lightly and continued: "Brother, I heard that you Zhaojiabao have a way to get a large number of sophisticated weapons and armor, I don't know if this matter is true?" ”
Hearing Li Song's question, Zhao Hu's heart moved, knowing that the fox's tail was finally exposed, the corners of his mouth involuntarily showed a faint smile and said: "Brother, our Zhaojiabao has a way to get some fine weapons and armor, does my brother want to buy a batch?" If my brother wants it, I can help my brother buy a batch on his behalf. ”
The Qinglong Continent is extremely vast and rich in resources, even if it encounters a rare flood, the grain of the entire continent is extinct, and the grain reserves of the major empires of the Qinglong Continent can support the entire continent for several years.
In addition, on the Qinglong Continent, there are many mountains and forests, and there are countless beasts and monsters, it is really not good, and if you hunt, you will not starve to death, so even if the food price rises this year because of the floods, the profit margin is extremely limited, and it is not worth the head of a big family like Li Song to lower his identity and befriend himself.
However, well-made weapon armor is not the same! The Qinglong Continent has a large population, and there are countless forces of all kinds, and there are large and small forces in every place, and they need to consume a large number of armor weapons for their own interests, so the market for armor weapons is very broad.
At the same time, the manufacture of sophisticated armor weapons requires a large number of refined iron and skilled craftsmen, and most of the forces cannot produce them on a large scale and can only rely on purchases, resulting in an imbalance in the market, and a seller's market in short supply has emerged, with huge profit margins.
Therefore, after Li Song learned that Zhao Jiabao had the means to obtain a large number of sophisticated weapons and armor, he had been paying close attention to Zhao Hu's every move, looking for a suitable opportunity to befriend Zhao Hu, establish a good relationship with him, buy armor and weapons at a low price from his hands, sell them at a high price, and earn a huge difference.
Seeing Zhao Hu personally admit that Zhao Jiabao had a way to get a large number of sophisticated weapons and armor, Li Song's face showed a look of ecstasy, and he couldn't help but look at Zhao Hu and said, "Brother, if I want to cooperate with you, sell weapons and make money together, what kind of conditions do I need?" ”
Li Song didn't think that he could easily agree to his family's request for a piece of the pie by sending troops to help Zhao Hu destroy the Wang family.
In his opinion, Zhao Hu has already paid off his favor in the grain transaction just now, and the current arms cooperation must show enough sincerity and interests in order to impress Zhao Hu.
"Lord Zhaobao, hello, I am Li Song, the current head of the Li family."
As soon as Zhao Hu arrived at the gate of the Li Mansion, he saw a middle-aged man wearing a white robe, black rhino leather shoes, a sturdy physique, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a silver-white long sword hanging from his waist, and walked quickly to meet Zhao Hu with a smile on his face.
"I've been flattered to see the head of the house, and the lord of the house personally greets me at the door!"
Seeing that Li Song was so polite, regardless of his identity as the head of the family, he personally stood at the door to greet him, Zhao Hu did not dare to slack off, hurriedly walked up to meet him, and bowed slightly to him.
"Lord Zhao, although we are not small in age, but as soon as I see you, it is like seeing my own relatives, if you don't dislike it, just call me brother, I call you brother, how about it?"
Seeing that Zhao Hu's face did not have the pride unique to young people, nor did he hold it up in front of him, but the humble appearance of a junior, Li Song nodded secretly, and was extremely satisfied with Zhao Hu's attitude, and involuntarily rolled his eyes, and said with a smile.
"The head of the family doesn't dislike the low status of the juniors, how can the juniors refuse the kindness of the head of the family!"
Although he didn't know why Li Song's attitude towards himself was so good, and he deliberately got closer to him, but thinking that the strength of the Li family was much stronger than his own Zhao Jiabao, and it was a big force that could be compared to the land of the ancestral wolf of Wanjianfeng Rose City, Zhao Hu said humbly without the slightest hesitation.
Hainan Island is only a three-day voyage away from the chaotic land, and the exchanges between the two places are unusually frequent, and being able to make friends with the actual controller of Hainan Island is a powerful help for the development and growth of Zhaojiabao.
