Chapter 169: Going to the Banquet
The chambers of commerce in the big and small goblin cities all sent invitations to Zhou Tian, but Zhou Tian didn't care about this, and those merchants knew the purpose of looking for him. What Zhou Tian really cared about www.biquge.info at that time was that his fame had just been hit, and he didn't expect that the mayor of that city had already heard about his reputation and sent him an invitation.
Zhou Tian's purpose itself is to attract the attention of the goblin city manager, so he was not surprised to receive the invitation, the only thing that surprised Zhou Tian was probably that Zhou Tian didn't expect the other party's reaction to be so fast, he just made a performance, and immediately received the invitation, to have this performance, in addition to showing that those goblins not only monitor the city very much, it is estimated that they are already ready to 'rip off customers' at any time.
If Zhou Tian is just an ordinary guest, then it is estimated that the management of the goblin city will not bother to pay attention to him, after all, the city welcomes the merchants who send it every year, and if every outsider needs their attention, then let alone the management of the city, even if all the goblins are busy with this matter, they may not be able to be busy at that time.
But Zhou Tian expressed his financial resources, and after almost everyone in the city knew that he was a local tyrant, then those goblins at that time could no longer pretend that they had not discovered him. After all, the public can't do anything to Zhou Tian, but those goblins who manage the city can definitely get corresponding benefits from 'rich people' like Zhou Tian.
Zhou Tian had already planned everything, so he didn't expect those goblins to come to the door so soon. But when he really received the mayor's invitation, Zhou Tian didn't feel much surprised, just because the other party was taken aback by the speed, and then replied with certainty that the other party would definitely arrive at night.
Zhou Tian's performance The goblin who sent the invitation was not surprised, after all, the political structure of the goblin empire is different from the outside, the mayor's power is great in this city, and the goblin nobles do not have much privilege, except for the power of the research institute is greater than it, it is really not difficult for the mayor to do something in this city.
Therefore, in the other party's territory, if Zhou Tian is not interested, then in the eyes of those goblins, it is not difficult for them to find trouble with Zhou Tian at all. And without knowing the details of Zhou Tian, most people would definitely react to Zhou Tian now, so after listening to Zhou Tian's reply, the goblin must have felt that everything was normal.
It's just that those goblins didn't know at all at that time, and Zhou Tian didn't have any intention of being afraid of them. Although the goblins are powerful, they do not border with Zhou Tian's territory. In addition, Zhou Tian did not lack the goblin technology, and if he didn't have a demand for them, those goblins couldn't threaten him, and he would offend those goblins, and from the beginning, Zhou Tian didn't take the top imperial power in the continent seriously.
Therefore, if it weren't for Zhou Tian's other plans, he was just serving for his ultimate purpose at the beginning, and in fact, Zhou Tian probably didn't bother to pay attention to those goblins. And just when he had other plans in his heart, now those goblins invited Zhou Tian over, so it doesn't matter whether he, the guest, will bring benefits to the other party, in short, Zhou Tian was definitely qualified to be called a villain at that time.
It's a pity that Zhou Tian knows something about those goblins, and even who the mayor is, Zhou Tian can find out clearly if he spends some money. But those goblins don't know much about Zhou Tianke, after all, Zhou Tian's fame hasn't spread so far, and the things related to it are not enough for those goblins to hear now. In this way, if they don't know Zhou Tian at all, it is impossible for them to perceive Zhou Tian's purpose.
As a result, when the goblins were thinking with joy how to ask for the favor from Zhou Tian, they did not know at all, and while they were making that plan, the object of their calculations had also been thinking about how to do it, so that he could achieve his goal.
In the end, with each side having their own ideas, the time agreed between the goblin mayor and Zhou Tian soon came.
And when the time came, Zhou Tian, who already had a few plans in his heart, immediately made the decision to rush to the banquet at that time.
"Welcome, welcome, Viscount Zhou Tian can come to our city, it really makes us shine, please come in quickly!" After speaking, the goblin mayor who personally greeted Zhou Tian immediately made a gesture to welcome him in at that time.
"I've met the mayor. ”
Zhou Tian didn't seem very polite because of the other party's identity, he did a lot of work for today. First of all, the reason why the goblin knew Zhou Tian's identity as a viscount was not that he investigated it according to his own ability, but that Zhou Tian took the initiative to expose this information.
Zhou Tian knew very well that according to the identity of a rich man, it was estimated that it would not be difficult for those goblins to pay attention to him, but if he wanted those goblins to do something risky, then they were a little unwilling. On the contrary, if Zhou Tian was a nobleman of the Orc Empire, then it would be unacceptable for those goblins to do the same thing again.
Things that are harmful to the interests of the country, Zhou Tian asked those goblins to do it, and they don't have the courage to do it, but some things that are only small risks, it is estimated that even if Zhou Tian doesn't have to deliberately mention it, those goblins themselves will take the initiative to do it.
Because in the eyes of those goblins, or most of the living beings in the current world, the nobility is a special group.
Civilians are not inherently bad, but the living conditions of civilians are there, not to mention that many civilians live like slaves, and if they encounter any difficulties, a disaster will be enough to ruin their families.
And when civilians encounter difficulties and do not have that kind of economic conditions, people with weak personalities are fine, and people with some strength and are easy to go to extremes will naturally become the so-called 'evil people'.
On the contrary, although the aristocracy did far more abominable things than the so-called wicked, because of their privilege, the evil they did often seemed to many to be normal behavior. In addition, the economic strength of the aristocracy is generally not weak, and although the attitude towards the subordinates is generally not good, they can treat the existence of the same level, but most of them pay attention to face.
As a result, the transactions between nobles and nobles are often reputable, and if anyone really breaks the rules, it is often their 'bad reputation' already spread. According to the atmosphere of the world at that time, as long as Zhou Tian cooperated to give those goblins enough benefits, and then made some guarantees, I am afraid that those goblins will be convinced of the guarantees they make.
Considering that an aristocratic identity can play such a big role, Zhou Tian also took the initiative to expose his identity at the beginning, as for whether his current actions will cause fire after being exposed in the future, Zhou Tian doesn't care about it.
First of all, at that time, Zhou Tian was not afraid of those goblins at all, and when the two sides were separated by most of the orc empire, unless the two empires really joined forces to deal with him, it would be regarded as a goblin empire that wanted to deal with Zhou Tian, and it was estimated that the orc empire would have to be asked first.
But obviously, depending on the relationship between the two empires, even if the orc empire itself dealt with Zhou Tian in person, it would not be possible for the goblin army to penetrate deep into its own borders. Therefore, from the very beginning, Zhou Tian knew that if he offended the goblin empire, he might encounter a threat from the goblins, but it was estimated that if the goblin empire wanted to deal with him with all its might, it was already doomed to be impossible.
There is no fear, so Zhou Tian has never been afraid of offending those goblins, and if he offends them, he will offend, and Zhou Tian has never taken the revenge of those goblins into account. Moreover, although Zhou Tian had the confidence to do that at that time, there is another reason why more Zhou Tian will take the initiative to reveal his identity, that is, it is unlikely that Zhou Tian will turn his face with those goblins.
Zhou Tian is reluctant to cooperate with the Goblin Empire, but there are some things he can do with the current Goblin Mayor, as long as he can borrow a few goblin researchers in a short time, then it is estimated that Zhou Tian's goal will be achieved. As for the reason for which he borrowed it, it doesn't matter anymore.
If the cooperation fails, it will be a big deal for Zhou Tian to send the researchers back, at least in Zhou Tian's opinion, the oil refining matter is generally unlikely to attract anyone's attention. Even those goblins, no matter how good they are, can't discover how the internal combustion engine is designed just because of refining some oil. In the case that Zhou Tian did not restrict those goblin researchers from contacting the outside world, and even passed the technology back, even if he knew that Zhou Tian had used them, I was afraid that those goblins would not care too much!
On top of that, the goblins were quite willing to spend money when they didn't know why Zhou Tian had asked them to do those things. In this way, after getting the substantial benefits, it is clear that those goblins must only care about 'counting money', and it would be good not to be regarded as Kaizi by them when Zhou Tian arrives, and he also knows the possibility that those goblins will hate him, which can be said to be very small.
has his own calculations in his heart, so he has been pretending to be his identity as a rich nobleman, even if he still wants to use the goblin mayor in his heart, but when he really contacts the other party, Zhou Tian not only does not have any intention of pleasing the other party, but directly acts like he ignores the other party at that time.
I believe that if it is the nobles of other empires, even if there is no conflict of interest between the two sides, just according to Zhou Tian's current attitude, it will be enough to make them have a bad feeling towards Zhou Tian. But it was obvious that the other nobles couldn't stand Zhou Tian's attitude, but for the goblin mayor, it wasn't a big deal.
Money is the most important thing, although Zhou Tian's attitude also made the goblin mayor's heart unhappy, but thinking of Zhou Tian's performance during the day, thinking that if he could get huge benefits from Zhou Tian, it was impossible for the goblin mayor to turn his face with him at that time because of Zhou Tian's wrong attitude.
I have to say that for those goblins who love money as much as their lives, as long as they can bring them benefits, then their attitude is really as good as they need to be, and it is impossible to turn their faces because of face.
Although Zhou Tian had already expected that the goblin mayor would react like that, he was actually a little worried about it. After all, although it has planned everything, many things will definitely develop according to its plan if it is not taken for granted. If things were different from what Zhou Tian thought, then if the goblin mayor directly turned against him because of the previous events, even if Zhou Tian made more plans in his heart, it would be impossible to continue his plans at that time.
But fortunately, although Zhou Tian was a little messy, the goblin mayor's reaction was just as Zhou Tian thought. And after this temptation, Zhou Tian became more confident in his plan, because it was not difficult to see from the various performances of the goblin mayor at that time that the other party was not pretending to be like that, but really everything was centered on interests, and a 'person' like this, as long as Zhou Tian came up with enough benefits, then he would definitely be able to achieve his goal.
Thinking of his plan and seeing the performance of the goblin mayor was already half the success, Zhou Tian was in a pretty good mood at that time. As a result, when he walked all the way, no matter who he met, Zhou Tian unconsciously had a little smile on his face at that time. But this kind of performance fell into the eyes of the goblin mayor, which made him a little unhappy.
"Have I offended him?"
The goblin mayor couldn't help but have that kind of thought in his head, after all, Zhou Tian's performance at that time was too easy for him to have that kind of thought. After all, Zhou Tian's performance at that time was too 'obvious', and he had a good attitude towards everyone else, just treating him with such coldness, it was no wonder that the goblin mayor would not have that kind of thought.
Of course, he hadn't been angry before, so even if there was a little more misunderstanding now, the goblin mayor wouldn't be able to trouble Zhou Tian again because of this. However, although because he saw Zhou Tian's 'money', the goblin mayor didn't have the idea of turning his face with Zhou Tian at the moment, but in any case, Zhou Tian's previous performance made him very faceless, because of this situation, the goblin mayor at that time had a little more opinions about Zhou Tian.
Zhou Tian didn't know that the goblin mayor had an opinion about him because of his performance, and after he entered the banquet hall, he didn't even have a chance to continue to contact the goblin mayor, because of his previous performance, Zhou Tian was soon surrounded by a large group of foreign merchants and goblins.
"Viscount Zhou Tian, our Chamber of Commerce has a new commodity in our hands, if you are interested, I don't know when you can take the time to take a look?" ”
"Viscount Zhou Tian, we bought another batch of the kind of goods you fancied last time, I don't know if you are still interested in this?"
“......”
It is estimated that many of the merchants surrounding Zhou Tian were people who had sent invitations to Zhou Tian, but they heard that Zhou Tian had come to the goblin mayor's banquet, so they would rush over as soon as possible!
It's no wonder that those merchants had that kind of reaction at that time, mainly because of the merchants who appeared now, and most of the goods in their hands were things that Zhou Tian found that the purchase price of Wanjie Supermarket was not lower than the purchase price he bought. As a result, in order to pretend to be a local tyrant before, Zhou Tian directly swept the goods of several of their shops, in the face of such a big customer, how could those businessmen not come to stammer?
It's just that in normal times, as long as the two sides can really make a profit from the price difference, then he may negotiate with these businessmen for the sake of profit. But it was obvious that he had not come to the city to do business at this time, so when the group of merchants surrounded him, Zhou Tian not only did not feel happy, but felt a headache because of the actions of those merchants.
