Chapter 1101: Closing the Deal
Woking bowed again: "I'm sorry, I'd like to make it clear here. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Duke spreads his hands: "Please." ”
"Ever since the tribe moved west to the continent of Kalimdor and established itself in the barren terra of Durontar, the tribe has avoided encroaching on the territories of other intelligent races as much as possible. ”
When Woking said this, Tyrande couldn't help but clench his fists, and his teeth gently bit his lip: can the death of the demigod Cenarius be easily forgotten like this?
Woking certainly noticed Tyrande's reaction, but given his position, he could only continue.
"The tribe did not have a more advanced way of building houses, and for development, the tribe needed at least 100,000 tons of timber. ”
This number almost made Tyrande jump on the spot.
Note: Processed wood, not logs. Converted into logs, this figure is even more exaggerated.
Woking snapped: "According to preliminary estimates, this is only the need for the first phase. ”
It's just the first installment!?
Tyrande almost had the heart to declare war on behalf of the Night Elves on the spot.
Woking went on to explain, "The Tribe has no intention of making things difficult for the Night Elves. We can't help it. The nearby Barrens, Stonetalon Mountains, Mogaolei, Thousand Needles Forest, and Dust Swamp had no suitable logs. Filas in the southwest had good timber, but we couldn't get it out of the terrain of the Thousand Needles Forest. If they can, the tribe is willing to exchange whatever resources the tribe has. ”
Tyrande gritted his teeth: "Night Elves will never trade their friends!"
The atmosphere fell to freezing point all at once.
Woking just has a headache, the tribe needs a huge amount of wood, but it can't be used strongly. Coupled with the Night Elves joining the Alliance, the Horde can only be cautious in this matter.
Tyrande couldn't help but look at Duke, who was sitting at the top. Tyrande's feelings are complicated, and she has absolute trust in Duke personally. But she's not the only one who represents, and if Duke doesn't act unfairly, then the clan's opposition to joining the alliance will quickly rise, and then there will likely be a big problem.
Duke raised his hand and made a gesture of false pressure: "Please don't get excited, Your Excellency the High Priest of the Wind." Woking, please tell me about the standard of wood that your tribe wants. ”
Woking immediately replied: "Converted into logs, it is a hug of one person, at least thirty yards high, hard enough to be the best timber for the main beams of the house." ”
Duke smiled, "That's easy! there's more than one place in the world where there is such wood in Ash Valley." If nothing else, there are many such woods in the Elwyn Forest and Twilight Forest in the territory of the Stormwind Kingdom alone. ”
Although there is also a lot of fine timber in the vicinity of Eagle's Nest Mountain, a third of the places mentioned above are Duke's direct territories, and he is in charge of his territory. What he can make the decision on his own is even more bold.
Perhaps, this is the forced style!
"Really!?" This time, Woking was really overjoyed: "Is there a sample?"
"Of course!" Duke snapped his fingers, and Vanessa, dressed in a maid's suit, came up behind him, "Tell the Brotherhood of Stonemasons to come in with a sleeper." ”
"Understood. ”
From the beginning of the reconstruction of Lordaeron, Illusia teamed up with Gianna and began to help Lordaeron build two railways, one from the north-flowing coast to Lordaeron, which was convenient for reconstruction. The other is the main artery of the East-West Railroad that runs through the Tirisfal Glades and the East and West Plaguelands, reaching the Hand of Tyr and connecting the entire Lordaeron Old Territory.
In the royal city, there was no shortage of materials for the construction of railways.
In a short time, eight big men came in carrying a train rail tie that had long been cut into square strips.
What can be used as a sleeper, of course, cannot be an ordinary product.
Besides, the world's steam engines are far more fucked up than those of the pre-Duke Industrial Revolution. Because of the industrial level, the iron and steel were still far from the standards that Duke wanted, and as a result, the steam engines here were larger and heavier, and the rails with the train were twice as large as those on Earth.
And then the requirements for sleepers are also much higher.
Woking's eyes lit up when he saw it, he touched the wood, knocked here, hit there, and then looked up: "Can the alliance guarantee that all the wood sold to the tribe is of this quality?
"Don't be funny, as early as four years ago, the alliance was able to send 100,000 troops, including equipment, across the sea to the continent of Kalimdor. It's really not difficult to get 100,000 tons of wood. Duke laughs: "As for the quality, I can also guarantee it here." Transporting such a large amount of timber across the sea will of course be depleted, and the price will inevitably need to be raised......"
"What does the Alliance want on the Horde's side?" Woking asked.
"Ore! High purity ore, mainly iron ore. The rest of the rare ores are also needed, such as gold, mythril, real silver, and thorium. When Duke said this, the eyes of the dwarves next to him were shining, and Magni didn't look like a king at all, and his mouth was drooling like a dog.
Duke gave Magni a blank look, and Brian saw it, and quickly pulled his eldest brother, who had the soul of a blacksmith, to make Magni come to his senses.
Nima, don't affect the image of the alliance here, okay? If it weren't for the fact that you are the king of the permanent alliance and the tribe is there, Lao Tzu will definitely beat you all over the head.
Woking thought for a moment, after all, the tribe urgently needed timber, and it was only a short-term behavior, so he nodded and agreed: "Then the specific transaction ratio and method ......"
"Now that the Coalition recognizes the Barrens as tribal territory, and the Dust Swamp as well as Theramore's control, let's find a place near the border. As for the price and details of the transaction, let's let the people below talk about it. ”
In the negotiation of the two major forces, the boss has always set the tone, and the people below grind the details and the price. Duke agrees to Working's offer to visit Alwyn Forest to see the goods out of insurance, and welcomes Woking to Alwyn Forest.
After sending Woking away, Duke spoke, "Your Majesty Prodmore, I'll leave the deal with the tribe to you." ”
Gianna nodded, "Is there anything to pay attention to?"
"First of all, it must be fair, whether it is price, quantity, or quality. If you say that you will give 10,000 tons of high-quality wood, you can't do it without one. For tribes, the error in ore content should not exceed five percent. Thrall is a fair guy, and if we're strict enough, they'll do it. ”
Gianna was a little awe-inspiring in her heart, if the requirements were so high, she would need 10,000 tons each time, and in order to avoid loss, she would have to transport at least 13,000 tons or more to be insured. Obviously, the cost of transportation will skyrocket.
