Chapter 231: Divide the Cake
The smoke that permeated Knightson came to an end as the night wore on.
In order to prevent spies, Kazakus deliberately let the ink master Soria draw a magic tattoo for each member, but it became a fatal factor, in front of Illidan Fury and the white-eyed hero, all the Dark Gold cultists had nothing to hide, and they could only follow in the footsteps of their own sect leader.
At dawn, when Gakison had been on a three-legged stand for many years, it came to an end with the fall of the Darkgold Cult, which left behind a large number of assets and became an extraordinarily attractive ownerless.
Shark Gazuo, who had long wanted to establish himself as the king, looked at the large piece of land of the Dark Gold Sect and drooled, but he still relied on his only remaining willpower and did not rush to make money to occupy the land, because Mrs. Guo Ya, who was as ambitious as him, chose not to move, because the two big winners of the Tainted Hand Party and the Jade Lotus Gang were not eager to enjoy the fruits of the hard-won victory, because Anduin, who had become a figure of the year in Gatkisson, was still negotiating secretly with Kickison's real master.
Although the sudden move of the tycoon Billdu has lost most of Nogerforg's reputation, he still sits at the negotiating table with the strong support of the Taint Party, and is on an equal footing with Anduin, who is in the limelight.
It sounds like it's an easy thing to divide the cake, and you only need to move your mouth to decide who the benefits belong to.
However, when the size of the cake reaches one-third or even half of Gakison, every point of gain or loss means the flow of countless money, not to mention the loss of Gakison of the Dark Gold Sect, and the loss of the perfect balance of the three-legged tripod, allowing the remaining two forces to expand their territory, not only was it strongly opposed by Nogferg, but even Anduin did not support it.
For no other reason, Garkison is still Nogerforg's territory in the final analysis, and it is still the direct port of the Goblin Nation.
Before he was absolutely sure of taking Garkison, Anduin didn't want to cause Nogforg to be overly vigilant, and once he was determined to seek support from the Goblin Nation, Anduin's wall plan would be put on hold.
Anduin wants to make Garkison an important line of defense for Stormwind, rather than a hostile faction.
Therefore, the focus of Anduin and Nogerfogg's discussion is who to support to replace the position of the Dark Gold Cult? Even if the emerging forces are far less powerful than the Dark Gold Cult, they will become a key factor in counterbalancing the Tatamy Hand and the Jade Lotus Gang.
At present, it seems that there are only two candidates who have the ability to take the position, Mrs. Guo Ya from the land of panda people, and "shark" Gazo, who is a fish man, the former runs the second black market in Gasison, and the latter controls the loan shark business.
Due to Mrs. Guo Ya's racial identity, she is too sensitive, so even if she is trusted by Nogforge, she can only be removed from the list, once the second panda man becomes the leader of Garkison, even Nogerferg can't be sure whether Garkison belongs to goblins or panda people.
But Shark Gazo's two-faced and three-knife character can't be recognized by Anduin, if it weren't for Anduin and Nogforg showing enough strength, this guy would have thrown himself into Bildu's camp, but the problem is that if he is also excluded, Garkison has no suitable choice, Nogforg's eyes are bound to be on Garkison's periphery, and the goblin country will become his first choice.
Anduin through careful consideration, or chose Shark Gazo, the reason is still because of the character of the wall grass, as long as he comes with the general trend, so that this guy feels cornered, it is very likely to look at the wind, as for how he will be a demon in Garkison after he replaces Kazakus, this does not need Anduin to have a headache, I believe that the strengthened Jade Lotus Gang will make Noger Fogg realize that even if Mrs. Guo Ya is kicked out, the status of the panda people in Garkison will not be much worse than that of goblins.
After agreeing on the most critical issues, other things are much easier, after some back and forth, the territory of the Jade Lotus Gang and the Tainted Hand Party has expanded to forty percent of the land of Garkison, although it seems that the two have obtained the same benefits, but don't forget that the Jade Lotus Gang before tonight only occupies twenty-seven percent of the land, while the Tainted Hand Party is thirty-seven!
The reason why Nogerfogg made a big concession was due to Tang Hangu's restlessness, and secondly, to force the necessary compromise of Shark Gazo.
Although Anduin agreed in principle to the forces of Shark Gazo to replace the Darkgold Cult, he showed that he was full of interest in Garkison, so that Nogferg had to cut his flesh and bleed, of course, Nogferg was the mayor of Garkison after all, and he quickly used his advantage to recover his losses.
As a port city, there are countless ships coming and going every day to ensure that Gasison can get enough fresh blood, but along the route, there are often hidden blood-sucking parasites, and in order to suppress their greed for these tireless parasites, Nogerfogg will use various resources every year to feed a group of fish-man pirates.
As we all know, the ocean is the world of fish people and Naga, and Nogferg only paid a small price to ensure that Gakison's blood vessels are unimpeded, and after officially determining that he wants to support "Shark" Gazo, Nogforg is ready to invite that group of fish-man pirates to settle in Gakison!
Anduin was not too surprised to hear Nogferg throw this hole card, but he was still amazed by Nogforg's ambition and wildness!
As the so-called Lang travels thousands of miles to eat meat, Noger Fog clearly wants to let Gakison's wild atmosphere continue, and also focuses on the interests scattered on the sea, just imagine, when Gakison's fish-man pirates swallow other large and small pirate forces, it will swell to the point of a sea giant, but all merchant ships sailing on the sea must be hung by fish-man pirates, and even Nogforg's ultimate goal may not only be to become a pirate overlord.
However, in addition to sighing, Anduin was not prepared to guess what Nogferg was thinking, because the death of Bildu and Kazakus had given up two coveted markets, one was the black market and the other was potion sales.
You have a specialization in the art industry, so you can't expect those pirates to learn how to make potions, right?
Anduin did not hesitate to spend a month to get the demon hunter Illidan Fury, just to end the hidden tumor of the Dark Gold Sect and seize the potion market at the same time, but the final result exceeded Anduin's expectations, the Dark Gold Sect fell, and the entire potion market was displayed in front of him.
Although Nogferg also coveted this part of the benefits, he still chose to give it to Anduin, just because this was the first time Anduin had seized benefits for himself, and the thirteen percent of the territory obtained by the Jade Lotus Gang before, strictly speaking, could not be regarded as falling into Anduin's pocket, so after a little thought, Mayor Carkison, who had no way to make potions, had to reluctantly cut his love.
As for the black market left by Billdou, it was naturally taken away by Mrs. Guo Ya, even if Nogerfogg was jealous of her panda identity, the benefits that should be given must be given, no matter what, when he heard that he planned to punish Bildu and Kazakus, Mrs. Guo Ya agreed directly without saying a word, in order not to chill his subordinates, Nogerfogg still pinched his nose and agreed, so that he had the ability to meddle in the black market voice, which can be regarded as a breakthrough from zero to one.
At this point, the negotiations, which lasted six hours, officially ended.
By supporting "Shark" Gazo and absorbing fish-man pirates, Nogferg increased his control over Garkison, and Anduin and his ally Jade Lotus Gang also received a satisfactory return, but then again, on the first day of coming to Garkison, Anduin made a lot of money, and there is really no need to complain, if there is, it is the upcoming Black Dragon Prince Nefarian, which may add some variables?
Thinking about the troll ruins of the underworld, Anduin personally destroyed Nefarian's plan to avoid the corruption of the son of the red dragon, although the black dragon prince did not come forward from beginning to end, and his henchman Red's black hand, with the letter of the black dragon princess Onexia, began to form dragoons, but it is not excluded that the dignified demigod is also a cautious person.
Well, I have to guard against it!
Anduin, who decided to take it seriously, politely declined the invitation to have lunch with Nogerforg, and went directly to the territory of the Jade Lotus Gang to inform him of the final negotiation results.
It stands to reason that the leader of the Yulian Gang, Aya Black Palm, is absolutely qualified to participate in this negotiation, however, after the dust settled, she still chose to give Anduin the greatest trust, which made Anduin a little strange, because he felt that the letter of introduction from the traveling scholar Zhou Zhuo should not play such a big role, after all, it was related to the direct interests of the Yulian Gang, so he actually handed over the negotiation task to Anduin, who had just met.
Of course, Anduin also lived up to expectations and won enough benefits for the Jade Lotus Gang, directly expanding the territory of the Jade Lotus Gang by half, and also occupied the most core potion workshop of the Dark Gold Sect.
As for the bar that Anduin had taken a fancy to earlier, it was also due to the long distance from the potion workshop, which finally made Anduin choose to give up, and it is worth mentioning that the owner of the Panda Man, who once regarded him as an enemy, was a little unhappy, because he saw that the territory of the Jade Lotus Gang had increased by half, and he wished to give his bar to Anduin for nothing.
However, Anduin still declined his kindness, and finally chose a good location near the potion workshop, and after a simple five-day renovation, the first Hearthstone branch was officially announced, settled in Kalkison!
On that day, the mayor of Gatkisson, Nogferg, personally came to the scene to send congratulations, and the other leading figures of Jackson, except for the leader of the Yulian gang who saw the head of the dragon and the tail, were all present, and gave a very heavy dowry.
Anduin, who swallowed most of Bildu's property, naturally wouldn't dislike his wallet, so he accepted it all with a smile, these Gakison's land snakes, in order to cheer for Anduin, really spent some thought, not to mention anything else, such as the shark Gazo, who has been proud of the spring breeze recently, he directly waved his wealthy hand and gave Anduin twenty large merchant ships, and promised that as long as it involves Anduin's business, his fish-man pirate group will escort it at any cost.
Regardless of whether Shark Gazo regretted it in the future, Anduin also adhered to the principle of reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, and personally sent him to the VIP seat.
Today's guests, in addition to the local people of Garkison, there are also people from all walks of life who came to participate in the science and technology war, or admired the technology competition, because Nogerfogg personally promised that the black dragon prince Nefarian will replace Anduin and become the arbiter of the science and technology war, so the competition specifications have risen again and again, directly alarming the whole country of goblins and gnomes.
In order to ensure victory, the two sides can be said to be elite, and even those grandmaster-level engineers who have been in seclusion for many years have been invited out of the mountain, just to let the long-cherished wishes of the two races get a temporary convincing result, at this moment, in the spacious and comfortable hall, goblins and gnomes are sitting on both sides clearly, looking at this tense situation, just wait until tomorrow morning, as soon as Nefarian comes, officially start this much-anticipated scientific and technological war.
Anduin, who was already an outsider, ignored the not warm but extremely tense atmosphere, and clapped his hands indifferently, and there were many carefully selected blood elf attendants to deliver all kinds of delicious food.
Well, Anduin didn't think about using blood elves, but a slave trader heard that Anduin was going to open a branch, so he took the initiative to send a group of blood elves who became slaves, Anduin was a little disgusted by the existence of slave traders, but he still accepted these trained and wild blood elf slaves, rather than being bought by others to become playthings and live an inhuman miserable life, it is better to live a down-to-earth life here.
In addition, Anduin whispered hello to Mrs. Guo Ya, who was in charge of the black market, and as long as there were slaves who were human beings and blood elves, they would all be intercepted from the middlemen, not because of the Holy Mother, let alone because they felt that they had nowhere to spend money, but for the sake of the development of Stormwind City and Silvermoon City.
The current Stormwind City, the population size has temporarily entered a stage of steady growth, but the elves in Silvermoon City are only twenty at full, three Night Elves, and seventeen Blood Elves, and their strength is strong, but the number is really pitiful, and Anduin is ready to let these liberated slaves become the first batch of official residents of Silvermoon City, and restore some necessary vitality for the long-sealed Elven Imperial City.
