Chapter 102: The Real Profiteer
Rivigaz's cynicism did not move the public relations executive from Gakison, and his mind kept repeating the image of the High Elf walking out of the Executive Hall earlier, the seemingly lazy demeanor and back, but with boundless confidence and majesty.
At first, Mox thought it was nothing more than the High Elves' usual arrogance, and his conceit as a legendary spellcaster. But now, the state of Rivigaz, who had only been in contact with him for only a few minutes, made him truly realize that this High Elf was not easy to deal with.
"Calm down, Lord Rivigaz. "In short, first stabilize the mood of the rich man.
"You should know how much impact it will have on Garkison, who owns the same industry, if you let more water build. ”
Of course, Rivigaz, who is a wealthy man, knows this, but the problem is that as long as Shui Duoduo cannot buy excavation and gathering equipment from other sources, oil and gas minerals, etc., he must be limited by the more mature Garkison in this area.
As for fresh water......
"Anything else, the reason why Hot Sand Group is developing the freshwater industry in Kakisen is to improve our business competitiveness in Kalimdor through this scarce natural resource. ”
"But behind the water is Quel'Salas and the Blue Dragons, and as long as they are willing to put in the time and energy, they can produce freshwater resources more efficiently than Californian Water, which is not a problem at all. ”
Hearing this, Rivigaz suddenly woke up.
Yes, although the purchase contract given by Lanlos only purchased equipment related to oil and gas and minerals, it can also be found from the name Shui Duoduo that freshwater resources are the foundation of their operation.
"Kalimduo has a vast arid area, and if Shuiduoduo is allowed to develop, the hot sand group's control over the local economy will be fundamentally shaken. When it comes to the top priority, Mookes didn't hold a shelf, and explained with great effort, "Gakison is directly managed by the hot sand boss, do you think he will lose most of Kalimdo's business competitiveness because of the profits of a few equipment?"
Hearing this, the rich man finally calmed down.
He has been running Treasure Bay for many years, and he doesn't know much about the situation in Kalimdor, so it's understandable that he accidentally walked into a misunderstanding. But the question is, how did he get involved with the High Elf when he talked about cooperation?
Mooks's expression became more and more solemn: "Speaking of which, why do you think that Shui Duoduo would buy equipment from Gakison?"
Rivigaz lowered his head, and the seemingly casual emotion of the high elf before leaving appeared in his mind, and his eyes suddenly widened: "That elf, he said that on purpose!"
————————
"This is the last one. ”
Thump!
Letting go of his hand, Lanloth let the already exhausted human pirate fall to the ground, his stiff face showing unimaginable hideousness and pain. In the room, there were more than a dozen corpses lying on their backs, all of them looking the same, like a living drawing of hell.
Although these pirates have been fighting all year round and their physical attributes are not bad, they have a low magic affinity, and it is easy to tear apart their fragile souls by using soul harvesting to strip their memories. As a result, Lanlos was only able to obtain a few fragmentary fragments.
However, because of the churning pain attached to the soul harvest, when the first victim appeared, everyone else immediately begged for mercy and confessed. Unfortunately, out of the mentality of checking whether what they said was true, Lanlos still gave them this final experience of falling into purgatory one by one.
After all, even if he only looked at the four big words on the plan, there was no need for him to be merciful.
Through confessions and soul fragments, he finally strung everything together.
Surprisingly, these dozen or so people are not thugs of venture capital firms, but blood sail pirates who have always coveted the wealth of Hidden Gulf.
Whether it's for ownership of Booty Bay or simply for the exploitation of the natural resources of Thorn Valley, venture capital firms have been working with the Bloodsail Pirates since last quarter, funding them with vast amounts of wealth and weapons to gradually weaken the economy and influence of Booty Bay.
It's not hard to understand that the Bloodsail Pirates want money, and the venture capital firms want the entire Treasure Bay, or even the entire Valley of Thorns. If a war is launched directly against Treasure Bay, the industries left by other individuals or chaebols will inevitably be affected, and even if the venture capital firm takes over Treasure Bay, there will be endless troubles.
Strengthen the strength of the Bloodsail Pirates, so that the fleet of Treasure Bay cannot easily drive away these sea bandits, and the credibility of Rivigaz in the hearts of the merchants is lost. If the venture capital firm finds another suitable opportunity to capture the executive office and collect the blood sail pirates, the businessmen will not only not hate it, but will be grateful to the venture capital company in every way.
In business, as long as the interests and property of the businessman can be protected, even if he does not mention it, the businessman will take the initiative to send the tax to his venture capital company.
After all, the rules of an extralegal place like Thorn Valley are very simple, whoever has the biggest fist is the big brother.
Of course, Lanlos had little interest in any of this, all he cared about was why venture capital firms were so hostile to Shui Duoduo.
He got an unexpected answer to this question.
In order to prevent Shui Duoduo from reaching a trade cooperation with Treasure Bay.
.
Although the purchase contract brought by Lanlos can help Rivigaz monetize some of the equipment, he is not wronged. Even if the level of heavy industry in Quel'Salas is not as good as that of the goblins, as a national force, and with the support of the Blue Dragon Legion, innovation and productivity are not much lower.
The reason why the first batch of equipment was purchased at a high price was to obtain samples and experience for subsequent independent research and development. This one-time deal would be a fool's dream to say that it would help Rivigaz make enough money to threaten venture capital firms and the Bloodsail Pirate program.
But the venture capital company's business plan has clearly investigated the shareholders behind Shui Duoduo, how could they not know the details of this transaction? Even at the same time to offend the elves, Dalaran and Blue Dragon, they have to intervene to stop it.
Unless, unless, they have information that deliberately distorts the facts.
Did Garkison do it?
Remembering the horror and reluctance shown by Rivigaz when he left the rich man's office, he was more and more sure of this guess in his heart.
If it was Akison who deliberately leaked exaggerated information to venture capital firms in order to eradicate Shui Duoduo, who was about to become a competitor, it seems that all of this would be self-justifying.
But if memory serves, Kalimdor and Tanaris alone, Kalkison himself does not fully grasp the market for freshwater resources. Bandits, ogres, and xenomorphs have taken over cenotes, and the trolls of Zulfarak have their water elemental nourishment through the hydra demigods, but demand is still outstripping supply.
With such a large shortage of freshwater resources, even if there is a lot of water added, why does he have such a big reaction?
In fact, this is a preconceived idea of Lanlos. This is Azeroth, and there are countless ways to produce freshwater resources. Little did he know that Carkison Water's strategy was not to make as much profit as it would make from operating freshwater. What Hot Sand Group has done is to firmly grasp the commercial and trade initiative in the arid area of Kalimdor in its own hands through the Californian Water Company.
The rules are very simple, if you don't do business with me and make me money, I won't give you fresh water.
For this reason, whether the indigenous people of Tanaris are self-sufficient or not, whether the Gerkisen Water Company is profitable or not, Hot Sand Group does not care. But if Shui Duoduo wants to earn profits and prestige from freshwater resources that can gain a foothold in Tanaris, it is destined to send large quantities of fresh water to the arid regions.
This must be a huge shock to the control of the hot sand group in Kalimdor.
If Jackson Water competes with freshwater production at full capacity, it will only end up with more freshwater resources in the arid region. In the future, as long as there is more water for one day, the business strategy of hot sand group to bring fresh water to the arid area must be put on hold for one day.
Do you say that the difficulties in the arid areas have anything to do with the interests of the hot sand group?
Although Lanlos is called a profiteer by many people, his conscience is still a little bigger than the real profiteers in this world, so he didn't think of this from the beginning.
So what's next?
Lanloth raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and the fire of evil energy quickly spread, engulfing all the corpses in the room. However, because of the influence of the silence technique, no sound came out, and this strange green and silent flame frightened Lao Chen, who was guarding the door, with hair standing on end all over his body.
The elf didn't care about these details, and stood in the midst of the fire, holding his chin and pondering. Seeing his incomparably evil face under the reflection of the evil fire, Lao Chen swallowed silently, and while secretly praying for his enemy, he turned away as if he had not seen anything.
