"And?" I looked at the man.
He said confidently, "We can choose to refuse your help. ”
"Hahahaha." I burst out laughing, but halfway through the laugh I stopped abruptly and said in a rather cold voice, "It's not funny." ”
"That's up to us for what we trade for." The man said confidently: "The quality of the personnel of this guild is not high, and even if there are masters, there are very few, and of course there are no conditions for negotiation." However, we have secrets. ”
"Secret? You're talking about intelligence? I confirmed very cautiously.
"Yes, intelligence." The man nodded and said, "If you want to get the information in our hands, don't show us any big guild style, we don't eat this." ”
I took a deep breath and made a gentle breath movement, then calmly turned to Zhenhong and said, "Let's go." ”
The man was surprised by my words and hurriedly caught up with me and grabbed me. "You haven't heard our secrets yet."
I didn't speak, just looked at him stunned. True Red turned around and replied fiercely, "Our Frost Rose Alliance only wants to do it and doesn't want to do it, and we don't have to do it. Remember this sentence of mine, and you will understand what I mean when you die. ”
"...... you?"
"Loosen." I slapped his hand open and turned around and walked to the door. Slammed the door open, and the door panel bounced open and hit the walls on both sides with a loud bang, startling the guards outside. But they didn't know what was going on inside, and they couldn't say anything.
"Stop them." The man spoke.
The guards immediately surrounded me, and True Red followed me, suddenly turning around and slamming his fist on the front guard's door. The guy immediately flew backwards and crashed into the room with three other people, smashing over the table. True Red turned around in a dashing manner, and the red cloak was thrown behind her with a thud, and everyone in the room was stunned.
"Humph!" True Red let out a disdainful snort and chased me towards the exit.
It wasn't until we went down to the ground floor hall that the men reacted, and Ak punched the man in some anger. "Are you sick? What do you have to do with him? He is the big brother of China's first guild. What kind of prestige do you have with the vice president of a second-fashion pop association and others? Okay, now, without reinforcements, what are we going to do to fight with the Light of the Century? ”
One of the players, who had not spoken just now, said, "Have you not said anything about the aid, what if they go to help Centurylight?" ”
"Hurry up and apologize, stupid!" The player on the other side jumped up and pulled the president and the man downstairs.
When the supervisors in the room rushed downstairs, Zhenhong and I had already stepped on the mounts, and the two mounts neighed and ran into the air, Ak rushed downstairs with people and immediately called out his mount to catch up, but he ran farther and farther, and before he left the city limits, he was completely invisible, and she ran back in anger and scolded the man.
Sitting on the back of the Night Shadow, I was also angry at this time. It's so arrogant to ask for help, at least it can be seen that the other party doesn't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and such a guild is mud. I will never be able to help it. The premise of the expansion of the Bank is that the number of personnel cannot be reduced, and the number of people is small, and it must not recruit garbage personnel. The garbage people I'm talking about here are plain zhì garbage. It's not a matter of rank. If the profession is not good, you can change, if the level is low, you can practice, but if the character is not good, there is no way.
True Red asked me, "What do we do now?" ”
"Go back to the people you beaten."
"Huh? Did I hear me right? ”
"You heard it right." I looked at Zhenhong and said, "It's actually very simple. The things that the man wanted to threaten us just now are nothing more than profits, and they must have something very valuable in their hands Xijing to use us. ”
Zhenhong smiled: "Didn't you have a goose to grow feathers?" Why did you give up so directly today? ”
"One, these people don't deserve help. Second. Their ignorance will fuel their unreasonable arrogance, and the final offer is certainly unacceptable to us, so instead of wasting time negotiating with them, it is better to just abandon them. At last. It's true that I'm a goose, but they forget one important thing, and that is that money can be grabbed in addition to being earned. No matter what they are holding, if they can't trade it, they just grab it. Although it will lose some reputation, it can get higher profits, and anyway, if we want to develop in Russia, we have to pull a drape. These people can't pull, so they have to fight. ”
"Black, it's really black."
"Of course, the transaction is a mutual choice between the two parties, and if you are not satisfied, you can talk about it again, and I can't stand being threatened."
"Then why do you want to go to the people I beaten?"
"You should have understood when you saw them fighting before. These two guilds are clearly enemies, and the enemies of enemies are friends, at least we can take advantage of them. If I'm not mistaken, they'll be happy to work with us after that punch. ”
"What if they don't want to?"
"Then find another partner."
Zhenhong asked suspiciously, "Why don't we go it alone?" ”
"It's simple. The Russian guild with the support of the Chinese can show its strength in Russia, but the Chinese directly develop the guild to Russia, which will only make them unite the whole country and then collectively resist us. Do you understand? ”
"I still don't understand, but it seems to make some sense. I don't understand your twists and turns, so I just have to follow you. I'll do whatever you say. ”
"Then the first thing to do is to contact our lovely allies."
Both mounts were incredibly fast, and soon we were back in the same city. However, the city wall is currently being repaired. Zhenhong's punch was too powerful, and the damaged houses in the city and the completely missing city gates were all trivial, but the losses were relatively heavy. That punch swept directly across the entire city's main road, and everyone who was in this straight line at that time was basically swept in. There are not many people who have been killed, but they are affected
There are a lot of injuries.
Our sudden appearance immediately caused panic. The people of Lima in the city gathered to defend themselves against any attack we might launch. I've always thought that a smart enemy is cuter than a stupid ally, and at least you can beat him up without having to put up with his stupidity. These guys didn't let me down, even though they prepared for a possible attack. But he didn't attack right away, and I was even more satisfied with the commander in it.
She is the catwoman in red who came out of the hotel before, and this woman makes me very curious. She had come out of the hotel when she saw her before, but now she seemed to be the commander here, but it didn't make sense that any guild leader would have built his office in the hotel, right?
The woman pushed away the person in front of her and walked out of the crowd, and she didn't seem nervous at all. "Hey! How did the two of them turn back again? Could it be that Ak: They are not hospitable? Or have you already reached an agreement? ”
This woman is difficult to deal with, it was my first instinct. "It seems that you do know each other." I didn't answer her, but started a different topic with the aim of disrupting her rhythm. It's dangerous to get the other person to pace in a conversation. "Ak told me they had a secret. I just want to suddenly wonder how much do you guys know about this secret? ”
"Oh? This is interesting news. She held a crystal goblet in her hand, and shook the red liquid in it leisurely. Let me think. She deliberately put her finger on her chin. It shows a very innocent shape. But there's only one message that a sexy girl with a fiery body can express by doing this kind of action?? Tease. "Maybe I get the idea."
"I like smart people. So let's just say it? ”
The woman laughed, and then came up and grabbed my arm in a charming way. "Let's talk inside."
The alarm was lifted instantly, and I was taken into the hotel for a detailed discussion. I have to say that this woman is very powerful. In contrast, Mr. Minotaur next to her was much rude. Along the way, he was comparing his eyes to Zhenhong, and it was obvious that Zhenhong was at a loss in this regard, but Zhenhong would always implicitly raise her small fist to hit the opponent's arrogance after the opponent thought she had gained an advantage, and the effect was excellent.
After entering the hotel, we found a private room and began to negotiate. The woman crawled all over me like she had no bones, but it didn't affect my mind at all. "Please. I'm wearing heavy armor, can I not rub my armor against your Devil's Twin Peaks? I don't feel it! ”
Thump. The woman was hit so hard that she flipped straight off my legs. True Red couldn't help but laugh. Even the minotaur who followed her was smiling, his eyes red.
The woman got up from the ground as if nothing had happened, but she honestly sat down on the opposite side. "In that case, then, in order to express the sincerity of both of us, how about we share each other's information first?"
"No problem. I don't have much information, so I'll do it first. What I know is that Ak has a stake in his hand that I'm fighting for, but I don't know what it is, or maybe it's not something at all. But I'm sure this thing is tempting enough, because Ak's people have tried to use it to offset the value of the guild as a whole. In other words, this benefit is worth more than all their guilds. Besides, I know you seem to be preparing to go after them. And I can roughly guess that you're not ignorant of this thing. That's all I know, but how about introducing it without bothering? You ought to know who I am, so tell me who you are. ”
The woman nodded. "My name is Little Wildcat. He's a big bull. We are members of the Light of the Century. I'm the president, he's my bodyguard. ”
I almost burst out laughing. Daniel? What a unique name. However, I know that this is the result of the translation system, and the other party should use Russian, which means big cow, and the pronunciation is definitely not like this.
The little wildcat didn't notice that we were smiling, and was still saying, "We have a lot more information than you do. First of all, let you understand what you are going to work for. It was actually a drawing, and it was a drawing of a teleportation array. ”
"Magic teleportation array is available in every city, is there anything special about this teleportation array design that can be more valuable than a guild?"
The little wildcat smiled, "That's the key. This teleportation array is not a teleportation array that connects cities to each other, but can only connect a teleportation array dedicated to a specific space. ”
"A specific space? Are you referring to a dedicated space for storing items? I asked.
"It's not a dedicated space. Rather, it's a completely new area of the game, or a new map. There are no players in this area, it is an independent space with monsters, resources, and land. But there are no NPCs and no players. You can build a city in it to gather resources, or you can let people go in to fight monsters and level up. ”
"It's just a special map, it's not worth that much money, is it?" I was puzzled and asked, "Why can't you practice leveling?" If we build a city, we have a place to build, at most, it is safer to build a city on that land, and what other advantages are there? ”
"Of course, it's not just that, otherwise we wouldn't have taken a fancy to it. The biggest advantage of this place is not that there are no other players, but that all the monsters here have triple experience. All the monsters in this space can be found in the normal map. The monsters on both sides have all the same attributes, the only difference is that the monsters in the special area have three times the experience points, and the refresh speed is super fast. It's simply the best place for guild leveling. In the normal map, you have to grab a little bit of the leveling area with others. If you control the leveling area by force, others will say that you are domineering, but here you don't have to worry at all. The whole area is yours, and you can practice as much as you want. There are also resources inside, every resource outside is inside, although it is still necessary to carefully look for ore inside, but the area itself is not large. So thought
It is very easy to find, and it is said that these mines are all super bonanza with high yields. You can make a big profit on it. ”
"Wait, wait, wait." I quickly shouted to stop. "Do you mean that every time you build a teleportation array like this, you can open up a space like this, or do you mean that the teleportation array on this drawing can only be connected to this one space?"
"Of course, there is only this one space, otherwise wouldn't you have to have a lot of leveling areas for your infinite replication teleportation array? Is that still there? However, if you build a few more teleportation arrays like this, you can have a few more entrances, but in the end, you will enter this area. ”
"With the triple experience zone and the super bonanza concentration, I think I can understand why the people at Ak think this thing is worth our deal. Obviously, it's definitely worth the price. So what I want to know now is if we cooperate, how do you want to divide it? ”
The little wild cat said: "First of all, we can build a teleportation array to let our own people enter this space, and then start their own leveling inside." There is no need for us to divide at this point. With the number of our two guilds, even if it is increased by four or five times, it will definitely be enough. No need to rob monsters. ”
I nodded: "What about minerals and land?" ”
"There's nothing to grab in terms of land, there's no one there, and the city is just being built as a supply point for players and a place to store some special items. For example, our guild would prefer to put the capital of our guild over there, because it is relatively safe, as long as you don't attack us, then that city will not be attacked by players, because other guild players can't go to that space at all. Therefore, we only need to build a city each, and it doesn't seem to make much sense to grab land, does it? ”
"That's right. But first, we have a lot of special buildings in our guild that take up a lot of space, and maybe we'll build some special buildings over there, which may use a lot of space. ”
"It doesn't matter. It would be fine to leave us the equivalent of three to six times the size of the city. ”
"Okay. So one last question. How are resources divided? ”
The little wild cat thought for a moment and said: "Our guild is relatively small, and we don't have the ability to mine and smelt minerals by ourselves, so we don't want to participate in mining, but since we cooperated to get it back, we can't help but give some benefits, right?" Here's what I think. All minerals are mined by you, and we will send a number of overseers to each mine. They will calculate and reconcile the amount of minerals mined each day, and then calculate the value of these minerals according to the systematic average transaction price of that type of mineral on that day, and your guild will give us forty percent of its value in cash, and then the minerals will be all yours, and I will not care if you like to use them. ”
I thought for a moment and said, "Fifteen percent at most." Couldn't be more. ”
The minotaur suddenly jumped up and roared, "You can't bully people like this, right? ”
True Red raised her little fist and immediately quieted him down. Obviously, the previous punch caused him a very strict psychological shadow. The little wild cat obviously supported the opinion of the minotaur, so she didn't say anything to stop the big bull.
I spoke, "Obviously, your guild has never been exposed to such low-grade products as minerals, so you probably don't have the knowledge. First things first: We have a partnership, which means that you can only own a maximum of 50% of these minerals, do you understand? ”
The big cow and the little wild cat both nodded and said that they could understand, after all, the investment of the powerful guild in the cooperation between a powerful guild and a small guild must be very strong, and of course it is already very good to take only half of it.
I went on to explain: "Minerals are not there, we have to find them and dig them. Mining needs to be manual, right? Labor has to be paid, right? After the ore is mined, you can't always find some people to pick it one by one, right? We're going to have to put in a concentrator or something, right? And raw ore is generally not tradable, at least do primary processing, right? This series of processes requires investment in money and manpower, but you have thrown all the tasks to us, and it is obviously unreasonable for you to take another 50% under this premise, right? ”
The big cow and the little wildcat nodded again.
"In general, the cost of ore selection and primary processing accounts for about 10% of the value of the ore after primary processing. A family gets 5 percent, which means that you take 45 percent, which is already over the limit. After all, we have invested our strength, but we are sharing the money in the same proportion as you. Do you think it's fair? ”
They shook their heads.
"So, we have to have a cost return. In China, the return on investment of mineral resources is more than 10,000 percent, of course, that is related to our national conditions, and the normal international ratio should be 300 percent. The total amount we invest is 10 percent. Triple the rate of return is followed by 30 percent. Take away the 5 percent of our own land, and you should get rid of 25 percent. In other words, your 25% commission is equivalent to half of our profits. Do you understand everything here? ”
The two men nodded stupidly with their mouths open.
"Well, you can't pile up the ore there after it's finished, right? Ore piled next to the mineral is certainly not going to yield benefits. So we need to transport them, transport them to the finishing point, or directly to the place where the primary material is needed, so we have to bear the transportation costs, right? The transportation cost of primary ore is generally 10 percent, and everyone divides it in half, and your contribution will be reduced by another 5 percent, and you can only get 20 percent. In addition, the processing of goods in ten thousand lands still cannot be directly converted into profits, so we have to sell them directly or reprocess the finished products and sell them, right? The sales channel in between always costs money, right? Do you know how much money is needed to support a national network of business and consumption? Although our guild will have ready-made channels. But there's always a cost sharing, right? In addition, due to this series of operations, we will definitely have a backlog of funds. The whole process is at least more than 10 percent, which means that deducting 5 percent of you is already taking advantage of you. We have such a big guild to cooperate with you, and we can only share less than 50% of the benefits, do you have any opinions? ”
I finished speaking in one breath, and there were two people opposite
It's been completely stupid. After a long time, the little wild cat suddenly said, "Isn't it? "What's wrong?"
She immediately counted there with her fingers, and after a long time, she rudely krummed her hair into an exploding head. "I can't figure out what's wrong, it's just a problem anyway. Fifteen percent is definitely problematic, you must have set a trap somewhere for us to jump, but I can't find it. I'll admit that you're better than us, and we're not your opponents in negotiations, but since it's cooperation, you can't be too bad, right? Give us a little sweetness, and we'll close 20 percent. ”
"It's a pleasure to work with." I shook her hand. "Congratulations on joining the Frost Rose Alliance's chariot group."
The little wild cat smiled bitterly and said, "Is this the so-called being tied to your chariot?" ”
"Almost! Haha, but you won't lose anything if you follow us. The best of our mix at the moment are the German Iron Crossers, and we can put them in the position of leaders of the German guilds, and we can also help you become the strongest guilds in Russia, provided that you are willing to cooperate with us, of course. ”
The little wild cat said: "In my opinion, cooperating with you is like sucking white powder. But this temptation ...... Forget it, let's talk about it then! ”
I said earlier that the little wild cat is a very powerful character, and her last sentence has actually revealed the essence of our guild, but she has no choice but not to continue, because she knows that her guild is in a very awkward position, and if she wants to develop, she has to accept it helplessly.
Once the agreement is reached, it will be much easier. What we need now is to first build a guild city in Russia, and then place a transnational teleportation array here. Once the city is finished, you can teleport the army in large numbers, and then work with Centurylight to completely bulldoze Ak's guild and grab the blueprint.
This city to be built will serve as a stronghold for us in Russia, so it will definitely develop into a fortressed city. Of course, at the moment we don't want to engage in a national war with the Russians, so this city is temporarily set up as a management city. In other words, the city still belongs to Russia, and China's Heavenly Court can't control this side or anything, but the city is managed by the guild. This is of the same nature as the Wonder City on the American side, and it will not be systematically counterattacked by the other country. If we build like Fulcrum City, Russia's national god organization will inevitably fight back against us, and will also issue mobilization orders to players across the country, and then it will be troublesome.
All the materials for the new city are bought in Russia, and the money is paid for by us. Of course, the construction staff will still do it on the right, after all, their own city is built by people, in case of leaving a back door in the city wall, it will be over. The next day the team from Isenger hit the road. The Spider Fortress hanging under the Dragonfly Castle of the Guild is the first to march towards Russia, and they are the fastest and should be able to reach it soon. They were mainly responsible for sending the transnational teleportation array first, and then the Giant Butterfly City would arrive and bring a large number of laborers with them. The cross-border delivery array will then receive technical personnel and high-grade materials from within the country. We buy only stones and base metals in Russia, and high-grade materials are still prepared ourselves. Anyway, it doesn't take much weight, and it's very convenient to transport.
