Chapter 672 [Next Time Surely]
It has been three years since Zutiu stood on the Tanaris Desert.
Three years is nothing in Azeroth, but in the port city of Tanaris, on the waterfront, it is an earth-shattering change.
Three years ago, there was only sand, barren waters, and the unstoppable heat of the sun.
Three years later, it is already a seaside pearl standing next to the endless sea, with walls and gates, complete street planning and house construction.
The goblins of the hot sand group have invested great energy here, and it can be said that in the past three years, the chairman of the hot sand has invested almost all of his company's energy, money and manpower in Zutiu. Coupled with the strong support of the Zur Empire in terms of resources, it is fully guaranteed in terms of security.
In just three years, an adventurous city accommodating nearly 100,000 residents plus about 100,000 floating populations was built by Hot Sand Group.
The investment of hot sand group goblins is huge. Similarly, the income of the goblins is huge. Up to now, the Zur Empire has not collected a single tax in Zutiu. Up to now, the Zur Empire has provided the city with all kinds of necessities for purely commercial adventures, and the prices have been exactly the same as those within the Empire.
Zutiu of Tanaris, whose fame has now loomed to another continent. In recent months, even some elven merchants from Quel'Thalas have ventured out to do business. Not to mention the goblins who were originally mainly engaged in business, Zutiu is now the most willing place for goblins to develop besides Andermai.
Hot Sand Group has exhausted the company's financial and human resources to build a Zutiu. The goblins reap the city's tax revenues and the huge profits they make in providing life, business and financial services to a bustling commercial city.
In addition to the chairman of the hot sand group, few outsiders know. But in order to develop Zutiu, the hot sand group is even willing to slow down or stranded their construction and investment in other places, which can be seen in the high profit and importance here!
Standing on the roof of the third floor of the city hall in the center of the city, Strymwhite Resha looked at the sea and sky in the distance, and the various ships that sailed non-stop on the turquoise sea, Mr. Chairman smoked a cigar made of raw materials from the Valley of Thorns, and his heart was happy and comfortable.
"Ah~ This tastes so good!" The smoke from burning the cigar is sent deep through the throat into the lungs, after being exhaled.
Strymwhite exclaimed.
"Gazruvi. How does this stuff yield over there in the Valley of Thorns? The chairman of the hot sand asked a goblin behind him who looked very steady.
"Oh, sir. It is not produced in large quantities. These you smoke are pure wild...... We found these tobacco leaves at the Cape of Thorn Valley and saw some human pirates smoking them, so we tried them as well and found that they tasted good......"
"Hmm...... And then what. β
"Then we drove away the human pirates, sent some goblins to guard there, and picked some to send back to Zur'an. The manager of the branch on Zulan's side asked the goblins to send it back. As for the yield, the wild area is only about five ancestral acres. If you make it to the size you are enjoying now, you can only make about 50,000 pieces a year under sustainable conditions. β
"50,000 Na...... This amount is a bit small! Strymwhite groaned. Can it be planted artificially? Recently, the empire captured a group of goblins from venture capital firms, and I paid some money to buy them. How about keeping food wasted all the time and letting these idiots grow tobacco leaves?! β
"It can be grown artificially. In the human kingdom of Stormwind in the south, there were some manor owners who cultivated tobacco for a long time. But I can't guarantee that the tobacco will taste the same as the wild one after planting! Gazruwe said in a deep voice.
"Okay. This is something to think about. Strymwhite said. On the Underman and human side, the demand for tobacco has always been strong. Recently, the demand for this kind of stuff has also increased on the part of the Empire. A lot of trolls have started smoking! So I think that in the future, it will definitely become a trend to smoke the leaves of this plant, and the industry related to it will be a good business. β
"Hot Sand Group cannot stagnate because of the success of Zutiu, but we must take advantage of Zutiu's east wind to expand the influence and profits of the group company in the world!"
"Gazruvi!" Strymwild Hot Sand suddenly spoke earnestly. "Zutiu is now in order, and King Tonatiu trusts us very much! Our position here will not be shaken, so ...... I plan to continue the construction of the group's bases and harbors in other places in one year's time! β
"Hmm...... As King Tonatiu said to the trolls, "Velociraptor's eggs can't be kept in just one nest so that the egg thief doesn't have to be stolen all at once!" Gazruwe said.
"I approve of you doing this!"
Strymwhite nodded, then suddenly turned around and patted Gazruvi, who was about as tall as him, on the shoulder: "That guy Marin, I didn't find out that he had such an ability before. He is now the red goblin in front of the King of Tonathius, and he is still at the top of the Imperial government, and it is impossible for him to return to the group. β
"Among the younger generation of goblins, I was originally most optimistic about you and him. But now Marin Nogferg is no longer a moving goblin I can command, and you are now the best young goblin in the group! β
Listening to the chairman's praise, Gazruvi was sincerely afraid: "Ah~ Mr. Resha, I can have today all your cultivation, you ......"
"Stop! Gazruvi. Mr. Resha stopped the younger brother from continuing. You and I are the elite of the goblins, and we all know very well what goblins look like! So it's good to say something nice once in a while, but there's no need to talk about it all day! β
"Mr. Hot Sand......"
Bang Bang~
Strymwyd patted Gazruvi on the shoulder and said with a grin, "I'll just say it!" After Zutiu, the hot sand group will build at least three more bases and ports in the world! It's the same places that were previously located! One cape in the Valley of Thorns, one in the southwest corner of the North Rift, and one in the north of Kalimdor! If you can have a relationship with humans or those pink-skinned ears, you should also build one in the north of the Eastern Continent! β
"And you, Gazruvi! I've decided to make you the master of one of these stronghold cities! Once the construction plan begins, you'll be in charge of building one of them and managing it! When a new city is built, you become the new head of trade, enjoying at least 1/3 of the city's net profits! β
"Mr. Hot Sand......" Gazruwe was really excited this time.
You can own a city, manage a city, and enjoy 1/3 of the wealth of the city! This is the best embodiment of "promotion and salary increase to win Bai Fumei" for any goblin.
An excited Ghazruwe wanted to say something, he was still much younger than Strymwyd, and he didn't have much of a deep city. Strymwhite patted him on the shoulder, smiling as he smoked his cigar and said everything was in plain sight.
"Look at it~ Gazruvi."
Strymwid opened his hands in the direction of the sea in the distance of Zutiu, and cried out with open arms: "This is our city! Let's unite and unite and let our business spread all over the world! β
"Definitely! Mr. Hot Sand! Gazruwe said excitedly next to him!
That's when it happened.
A blue teleportation circle appeared behind the two goblins.
The two goblins naturally sensed its presence, but neither of them was nervous. The teleportation circle that can appear here is either a high-level of the Hot Sand Group, or it can only be a high-level mage of the Zur Empire.
What came out of the portal was indeed one of the top leaders of the Empire, and the leader of Master Sindra, who was currently the Minister of Education of the Zur Empire, His Royal Highness Prince Tosedrin.
"Oh~ I woke up this morning and I heard a magpie barking outside the window! Sure enough, good things are coming! Dear King of Sindra, did it the warm south winds of Angolo that brought you to me? That's a good gust of wind! Strymwhite immediately raised his voice and stepped forward to welcome.
Hearing him say this, Gazruvi next to him couldn't help but pause as he stepped forward to greet himβthe goblin sighed: "My own deeds may still be a little shallow!" Mr. Hot Sand can open his mouth to say this kind of thing, and he says it so naturally! I can't do it......"
Although Zutiu has a lot of wild birds because of the appearance of oases. But without a festive bird like the magpie, they wouldn't have come to live in such a hot place. Gazruvi had seen it in Angolo Crater, but Zutiu had never seen it anyway.
Thorcedrin nodded at Strymwyd in respect. The haughty Sindra didn't think much of the money-hungry goblins, but the short-lived man in front of him was an archmage of almost the same level as him, and Torcedrin, who hated goblins, also recognized Strymwilder's accomplishments in the arcane path.
"I have come on the orders of the King of Tonatyiu...... "Tosedrin's voice was low and slow.
When the two goblins, Strymwaid and Ghazruvi, heard the name, they all perked up.
The grinning expression on Strymwilder's mellow face also subsided a little, and the goblin said, "Oh! We're listening! β
"Your Majesty is in the Valley of Thorns now." Tosedlin said. "He had a mage contact me and pass on some orders to you through me......"
Strymwhite was a little uncomfortable when he heard the word "order", it is true that the hot sand company is a strategic partner of the Zur Empire, but Strymhuaid believes that the company is independent of the Zur Empire!
However, it was only a slight verbal dissatisfaction, and Strymwhite did not show it at all, and still said: "Please speak, I will listen to you!" β
"Your Majesty said: Let those guys from the hot sand company come here! Strymwilder, yes, that's him. Just tell him, I have a great deal waiting for him in the Valley of Thorns! Tosedrin's expressionless retelling, and when he was finished, he asked with an equally expressionless face:
"Did you hear me clearly? Lord Hot Sand. β
"I hear you clearly."
"Okay. Then I'll go back. The academy still has a lot of things to do, and the Imperial Library has just been completed, so I still need to sort it out! β
"What a pity! I would also like to invite you to have a seafood dinner here in Zutiu, which is a seafood dinner! β
"Next time."
"Then ......"
"Next time, definitely!"
