Chapter 693: Self-recommendation
"You want to be our vassal?" Yu Buzhi looked at the pirate leader with a strange expression.
"yes, yes." Guan Cheng nodded vigorously.
"Thanks to the great help of the city lord, he twice sent troops to help us recover Salmon Island, and also helped us build and develop the base area, and the sons and daughters are very grateful to the Flying Fish Leader. After thinking about it, I thought that only by joining the Flying Fish Collar could I thank the adults for their deep friendship, and I took the liberty to express my feelings, and I hoped that the adults would agree. ”
Guan Cheng is a rare smart person among pirates.
After the cooperation between the Bohai pirates and the Flying Fish Leader, food, daily necessities, warships, crossbows and other material resources were continuously sent to Salmon Island, helping the Bohai pirates to recover quickly, and the Bohai pirates began to grow savagely like never before. The longer he cooperates with the Flying Fish Territory, the more clearly Guan Cheng feels that the Flying Fish Territory is extraordinary, and the military, economy, and technology (crossbow machines and warships) are all excellent, so powerful that all pirates look up to them.
According to the joint development agreement signed by the two parties, the Bohai pirates can pay for the goods after one year.
The conditions are very relaxed, enough to see the sincerity of the cooperation of the Flying Fish Collar.
With a large amount of support from the Flying Fish Collar, the Bohai Sea Pirates can move towards revival in a shorter period of time, recover their strength or even better, and I believe that it will not be long before they can become a force to be reckoned with at sea. When encountering the enemy, you can still ask for help from the Flying Fish Leader, which can basically be regarded as a paramilitary alliance, but the alliance belongs to the alliance, the money owed is always to be repaid, the value of food and daily necessities is easy to deal with, the warships and crossbow machines are not bargains, and with the "legal production income" of Salmon Island, I don't know how long it will take to pay off the debts.
So Guan Cheng thought of taking refuge.
How can the alliance have a family?
After becoming a family, there must be no need to worry about the debts owed.
With the strength shown by the Flying Fish Leader, Guan Cheng felt that it was not a shame to become his vassal force. Moreover, Salmon Island was occupied by the Japanese twice, and no one knew whether the Japanese would make a comeback. Pirates are not treated well by the imperial court, and there are few players with strength, sailors, and friendships, and the Flying Fish Collar is undoubtedly the most suitable.
After Guan Cheng finished speaking, he looked at Yu Buzhi expectantly.
The fish was unwise and speechless for a long time.
Guan Cheng's desire to become a vassal force really surprised him.
The system is open to the player's territory to subdue NPC forces, and the opening time is not short, but today, it is rare to really subdue NPC forces as they wish. Mainly because the method of subduing the NPC forces is unknown, and the prerequisites are not clear, the lords can only try their luck by feeling the stones to cross the river.
According to incomplete statistics from the official forum, among the 35,000 territories, less than 10 of them have subdued the NPC forces by mistake, and almost all of them are chicken rib forces. In addition to being used as a braggart talking point, it is not seen to promote the development of the territory and have a positive significance.
Despite this, there are still many people who have sharpened their heads and dream of subduing NPC forces.
By subduing the Eren tribe, the Zhulu Leader obtained the precedent of the manufacturing technology of the Ebu and Baxiang Qing, and there was a systematic announcement, which made countless lords ecstatic. But in all fairness, it is very rare for a force to bring its own special products like the Eren tribe, and there are other restrictions on subduing NPC forces, so it is difficult for the lords to find a more suitable target for subduing, so the competition for the Eren power has become white-hot. Since some people have prospered because of the tribe, the other lords certainly want to replicate the success of the Zhulu Clan.
So far, however, there has been no second territory that has subjugated the Gorin tribe.
There are two major prerequisites for subduing the tribe: one is market share, and the other is the favorability of power.
The market share is relatively simple, investing in a certain tribe and enjoying its market quota exclusively, but it is not so easy to do. As we all know, the amount of investment will increase with the continuation of time, as well as the overall economic level, the early monopoly of the market is the easiest, the more later, the more funds need to be invested, even up to hundreds of times is not surprising, it is difficult to achieve market monopoly.
If it's just a matter of funding, there's always a solution.
The headache is the competition between players.
The fighting power of the people is super strong, with two kinds of specialties, and there is a white bamboo crossbow that is not a specialty but a specialty, which can be fought and made money, which can be described as a golden goal that every lord wants to win. At present, there are more than a hundred tribes of the people, which seems to be a lot, but it is not comparable to the huge number of territories. There are many monks and few porridges, and each tribe has multiple player territories competing for market share, hoping to defeat their opponents and achieve monopoly.
When multiple players compete for market share, the market share of the tribe will be lost. When the market share is divided by the player, which territory increases investment, which one's market share will rise, and the market share of other competitors will decline proportionally, and the most pitiful thing is that there is an upper limit to the market share of the opponent, and the share of each game month cannot exceed 5% of the total share, and the opponent cannot be directly out.
Even if you are killed, you can rejoin the ranks of competitors, and the barrier to entry is not high.
Unless someone takes 100% of the market, the fight won't end.
No one was willing to give up the tribe, and the fierce battle for the market began.
In the process of repeated see-sawing, the unit price of investment is speculated higher and higher, entering a vicious circle.
What's even more outrageous is that the huge capital investment will not significantly improve the development of the tribe, and the development progress of NPC forces needs to be carried out step by step.
But for those competing territories, this is equivalent to the system recovering player power funds.
I have to admit that Yu Buzhi made a painful decision to monopolize all the shares, which was a very shrewd approach. Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was poor in the early stage of the game and was unfamiliar with the NPC forces, in the absence of competitors, they monopolized the market of the two tribes in one fell swoop, and benefited immensely.
With so many tribes, there are still individual lords who have achieved exclusive control of a certain tribe's market.
This is just the first step.
The favorability of the power must reach the level of "reverence", which is the fatal part.
Power opinion is for the entire clan, not for a particular tribe, and it is very difficult to improve. Increasing the "Friendliness" level by hiring is almost the end, and the next few levels can never be achieved by hiring people. In the early stage of the game, it is almost impossible to make a large investment under normal circumstances, coupled with the benevolent aura bonus brought by the high salary of the territory, and the case of a knife gorge blocking the rat tide, etc., he gained great favor in the world of the people, and was able to barely pass the level.
There are several lords who have brushed their favorability to "respect", but they are still far from the "reverence" level.
The player forces of the Hunter tribe are still working hard to continue their efforts.
There is an even more tear-jerking bad news, which has not been known to players for the time being.
In fact, even if the market share and favorability of the power go up, and a certain tribe is successfully subdued, it can only let the tribe use it for its own use, and there is no way to obtain the production technology of the cloth and Baxiangqing!
Specialties are called specialties because they are usually rare.
A special product of the race, such as the Ori people, is on a first-come, first-served basis in the game, and it will definitely not spread everywhere. If each tribe is subdued, and the territory obtains special technology, won't the world be in chaos?
The fish is unwise, and some are ridiculous.
It is very difficult to subdue the NPC forces, but it has become a logical thing to lead the deer, and there is no need for him to dig out his mind to collude and pull together, and the NPC forces will come to the door to ask for a shroud. At the beginning, the Qinggu tribe took the initiative to ask for help and occupy the only vassal power quota in the city-level territory, and the Hongshu tribe sighed for a long time; Today's Bohai pirates are also like this, Guan Cheng is still a famous pirate leader and historical figure.
In other territories, when encountering this situation, they gladly agreed, but they were afraid that they would not be able to do so, where would they hesitate.
Yu Buzhi looked embarrassed, and said after a long time: "The matter of becoming a vassal force is a big matter, and I will consider it." ”
Guan Cheng was a little disappointed, but he could only barely squeeze out a smile and said, "That's the case, wait for good news." ”
The dignified leader of the Bohai Sea pirates recommended himself, but the Flying Fish Lord did not immediately agree, and the loss in his heart can be imagined. Yu Buzhi glanced at Gan Ning, and Gan Ning understood, and pulled Guan Cheng Inn to drink.
The wine and food were served, and after a few drinks, Xun Yan also came over, chatting with Guan Cheng while drinking.
Guan Cheng was depressed in his heart, and he was not the kind of temperament that was moody, so as soon as the wine passed the third round, he asked Xun Yan about the progress. Guan Chengxin is like a mirror, Xun Yan followed behind, and he must have something to say.
"Deputy City Lord, Lord Lord, but you don't want to accept us?" When Xun Yan first saw Guan Cheng, he changed his name and sentences, but he never told Guan Cheng's true identity, and Yu Buzhi also made a name.
Xun Yan put down his wine glass, his smile was like a spring breeze in March, and his temperament was impeccable.
"If you don't dislike it, why do you need to cooperate? It's just that there is only one vassal, and my lord is a little hesitant. ”
Guan Cheng nodded, but his understanding was a little different from the actual situation, he didn't know the true origin of the Flying Fish Territory, it was rumored that the Flying Fish Territory and the Non-Fish Territory were one and the same, and there was indeed only one vassal force quota in the city-level territory. I didn't know that the main lord was a deer leader, and there could be two vassal forces in the capital-level territory.
"Dare to ask the lord what is so difficult to decide?" Guan Cheng wants to get to the bottom of the situation.
Xun Yan had already seen Guan Cheng's heart and thoughts, and knew that it was meaningless to hide it at this time, so he simply made it clear to Guan Cheng and asked, "Dare to ask the strong man, how does your combat strength compare with my sailor?" ”
"Xingba doesn't make a move, between the two and the middle, Xingba makes a move, I might as well wait; If the dragon is dispatched, we will be defeated. Guan Cheng's face is a little hot, he is not a dead duck with a hard mouth, if he can't beat it, he can't beat it, and he faces it openly. can be a pirate giant, but he can't beat the player sailor, which is a big shame; Moreover, this judgment is based on the pirates' acquisition of the Exocet Leader warship and crossbow.
But can he be blamed for this?
It's the Flying Fish Sailor and the Jiaolong foul!
Xun Yan continued: "Dare to ask the strong man, does your island have special products and unique technologies? ”
"Nope."
Xun Yan sighed.
Gan Ning's gaze at Guan Cheng was full of sympathy.
Guan Cheng couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, regretting that he shouldn't have made his words clear, and he was clearly humiliated. The combat power is not good, and there is no technology that can be transferred, coupled with the hidden dangers of the identity of the pirate, where did the confidence come to ask to join the Flying Fish Collar?
Guan Cheng said abruptly: "I understand......"
Seeing that the leader of the pirates was almost defeated, Xun Yan finally said: "The strong man should not be discouraged, this matter is not completely out of chance......"
