Chapter 136: Liancheng III

"Brother Yao is here to take a seat, let me introduce you, the person next to me is called Zhang Yu. He is a giant in the service industry of Stormwind City, and he is also my dragon guard, you should have heard of Zhang Yu's name. Li Long introduced, with a smile on his face and a warm tone.

Li Long beckoned Zhuge Yao to the hall, and the three of them sat down in priority and order, and then began to discuss the main topic. It turned out that the two of them were discussing just now, and the annual gladiatorial competition in Stormwind City might be delayed for some special reasons.

"Brother Yao, you came at the right time, and now I will give you a task for my brother." Li Long said with a smile, looking very natural.

Zhuge Yao's cheeks twitched slightly, and he secretly said in his heart that it would be no good for you to find me. When he was in the city just now, he heard others talk about it, saying that it was very likely to be postponed. Due to the economic crisis in Stormwind City, a lot of troops have also been transferred by the empire, and the military can't come up with suitable people.

Li Long must want to hand over the matter of organizing the gladiatorial competition to himself, this is a hot potato. In previous years, this kind of activity required a large amount of government subsidies and was prone to chaos.

"Little brother's ability is limited, I'm afraid I won't be able to help much, so don't make trouble for you." Zhuge Yao didn't wait for Li Long to say anything, and preemptively refused.

Li Long had already prepared, took out a superstitious letter from his arms, and handed it to Zhuge Yao with a smile before continuing to speak: "Brother Yao, don't be in a hurry to refuse, read this secret letter first, and then make a decision." ”

Zhuge Yao's face was full of suspicion, and he glanced at the letter in Li Long's hand. His face immediately became ugly, and the mayor of the city who first landed dared to report himself. I didn't expel him when I saw the other party's deferential appearance before, and now I dare to stab him in the back.

"You win, say it! What do you want me to do? Zhuge Yao asked helplessly, the hero doesn't suffer the loss in front of him, turn this page first.

Li Long smiled proudly, nodded at Zhuge Yao, and said, "Storm City is about to be held, the annual gladiatorial competition, I want to leave this matter to you to handle." ”

Zhuge Yao nodded, he had already guessed it in his heart, so he opened his mouth to ask a very critical question.

"How much are you going to give me? How many soldiers were transferred and when did it start. Zhuge Yao asked seriously.

Li Long didn't answer, but glanced at Zhang Yu, who left his mind to comprehend. Zhang Yu took out an official document from his bosom and handed it to Zhuge Yao, before he spoke: "On the issue of funds, you can mobilize merchants to pay, but the government is really powerless." In terms of manpower, you can ask someone from the Mercenary Association to help, and the army can't transfer soldiers. As for the opening time of the gladiatorial competition, you can set it yourself, but it must be before the end of the month. ”

"Ugh!" After Zhuge Yao heard this, he directly gave the other party a contemptuous look, and didn't give anything for a long time.

Seeing Zhuge Yao's embarrassment, Li Long also felt a little embarrassed, so he spoke: "If you really need manpower, I can ask Yun'er to cooperate with you, she is now the president of the Girls Association." ”

Zhuge Yao hurriedly shook his head, what can Li Yun, this little sister, help, it would be good if she didn't make trouble for herself. Whether such a big thing can be done well, he has no bottom in his heart.

After leaving Li Long's mansion, Zhuge Yao immediately took action and asked the Shadow Association of Storm City to investigate. This organization is the mysterious organization established by Xiangxiang and improved by Zhuge Yao. Their main tasks include gathering intelligence, infiltrating various cities of the empire, etc.

After investigation, it was found that the government controlled by Li Long controlled the service industry, which is why he was so concerned about the competition. Recently, the Sun family in Storm City has had friction with Li Long's forces one after another. Moreover, the Sun family also released the news that they must stir up this gladiatorial competition and let Li Long's people drink the northwest wind.

With the operational experience of hosting the World Olympic Games in his previous life, Zhuge Yao is not worried about the problem of funds at all, just let those merchants who want to advertise come out.

He asked the Shadow Society to send someone to spread his idea, saying that the more people who paid for it, the better the advertising space his store would get. Not long after the news was released, a large number of businessmen took the initiative to come to the door and asked for money for this gladiatorial competition.

In order to incentivize the merchants to continue to pay, Zhuge Yao also made a promise to allow them to open temporary shops around the gladiatorial factory. He went to see it, and there was a square outside the gladiatorial factory, and there was an open space there anyway.

The only thing that is a pity is that none of the people who agreed to pay are engaged in the trading of ores. Originally, Zhuge Yao still wanted to deter the Sun family, but from the current situation, the other party has a strong control in this regard.

It wasn't until the end of the investment promotion activity that Zhuge Yao ushered in the only ore merchant, and he was an old acquaintance. This person is Qian Laiye, and last time Zhuge Yao bought a truckload of storm ore in this merchant's shop.

Zhuge Yao was curious. Why did Qian Laiye dare to go against the Sun family? But the other party does not say. He didn't take the initiative to mention this matter, but he specifically instructed the officials below to choose the best advertising space for this person.

In terms of manpower, Zhuge Yao also has his own set of methods, that is, borrowing. He specially went to meet the president of the Storm City Divine Craftsman Association, Gongsun Kang readily agreed. The blacksmith associations of Ten Thousand Beast City and Storm City were originally from the same place, and they had to help more or less when it was critical.

In addition, Zhuge Yao also took the Blackwood Token and went to the Lying Mercenary Association, but the other party also readily agreed. But there is a requirement, after this incident, Zhuge Yao must be suspended in the Mercenary Association.

Things have been done here, everything is going smoothly, except for the last thing, which makes Zhuge Yao feel a headache. That is the question of military representatives, the elite soldiers in the city have been transferred by the Empire, and there are no figures who can handle it at all.

Gongsun Ce followed Zhuge Yao to Storm City, wanting to stir up the game, but unfortunately he couldn't do it. Of course, he made a difference, but the effect was not obvious, and it seemed that his efforts were in vain.

In the end, I really couldn't think of a good way, so I simply signed up for it myself and represented the Stormwind military. In this way, the preparations for the gladiatorial competition are all ready.

As the citizens cheered like waves, the annual gladiatorial competition in Storm City was held as scheduled, not to mention that there were many more rewards. All gladiators who won the ranking were rewarded accordingly, and the prizes were also allowed to be chosen by themselves.

Zhang Yu excitedly reported the news to Li Long, the mayor of Storm City, and even had a special drink to celebrate. As long as the gladiatorial competition can be carried out as scheduled, then the service industry in Storm City will continue to maintain vigorous development. A large amount of tax revenue will also flow into Li Long's pocket through the government.

Due to Zhuge Yao's outstanding performance, he helped Li Long keep the main source of funds, and at the same time stabilized the situation in Storm City. This tournament was so crucial that he thought about giving up several times before, but the consequences were too serious for him to do.
