Chapter 755: Reselling Military Supplies
After receiving the news, the Thousand Heads Chamber of Commerce led by Bader also submitted an application to join the Conqueror Chamber of Commerce as soon as possible, but to Bede's bewilderment, they were rejected.
The Conqueror Chamber of Commerce couldn't talk, and now that they were caught behind the scenes, Bader didn't let go, rubbing his big thick hands, licking his face and asking, "Lord Lord, can you ask a question?" ”
Gavin's gaze was retracted from the huge Cormier fleet and the food convoy, and he asked with a smile, "Uncle Bed, I've already said it, in private, you don't need to be so restrained, just ask any questions." ”
They are now located in the port of Susar, the capital of the Cormir Kingdom, and are loading the first batch of military supplies.
The matter of purchasing weapons, equipment, food and other military supplies from the valley was already laid out by Gavin before reaching an agreement with King Yasan.
Naturally, this matter does not need him to take action personally, not even the Conqueror Chamber of Commerce, the president of the Thousand Heads Chamber of Commerce in front of him, Gavin's original partner in the Rock Land, is enough to do it for him.
After all, food is a kind of thing, it is very scarce, and it is not difficult to buy it if it is not in demand, the key depends on whether you have money and the whole environment.
In the case of life singing and dancing, as long as you have money, it is not difficult to eat on a large scale, as was the case in the previous valley.
But if it were to be replaced now, when the entire Faren Continent was about to be shrouded in the smoke of war, everyone began to reluctantly sell, even with a lot of money, it was difficult to buy.
Gavin and the others fought in advance in large enough quantities, even before King Ahsan, and naturally ate the cheapest and large enough quantities.
When it comes to eating meat, Gavin has always been stingy with people who are willing to follow him and do things for him.
With just a hint, the merchants of the Thousand Heads Chamber of Commerce led by Belon naturally followed up frantically and exchanged all the spare money in their hands for food.
Gavin offered them the same price as the Iron Clan's equipment, the benefits were divided into four, the Cormier Kingdom ate two shares, these merchants shared one, and the last one left was naturally Gavin's hard-earned money for matchmaking.
No one complained about Gavin's greed, but was grateful to Dade for him, after all, without him, they would not have had a chance to make this money, and it was a matter of course to give up the lion's share.
"Can you ask why the Conqueror Chamber of Commerce rejected our application to join? We really want to be a part of it. Bader chuckled, having learned to ignore Gavin's humility automatically.
It doesn't matter if the other party is sincere or polite.
The identity of the people is no longer what it used to be.
If he still dares to pat the other party's shoulder and affectionately call the other party Xiaoyou, even if the other party doesn't care, the other party's group of fierce subordinates will also have emotions.
There has always been a difference between respect and humility, if he Beide can't even grasp this bit of proportion, his business for so many years will run away in vain, and he doesn't want to become bigger and stronger behind the other party.
From the very beginning, what binds the two parties together is not the so-called feelings, it is just a dispensable seasoning, and what really works is the interests.
It's just that as the situation develops, this interest appeal is also changing.
When the other party's footsteps were only in the rocks, it was he who needed them, and in exchange for them helping him transport the goods there on time and on demand, the other party had to make a lot of concessions.
When the other party stepped into the valley, the two sides began to sit on an equal footing, and Bedder and they even had to start playing the emotional card to get some benefits from the other party.
When the other party steps out of a conqueror's path in the wilderness, he becomes an existence that they can only look up to, and he can remember and is willing to carry them, which is to remember the old feelings.
But feelings are such a thing, sooner or later there will be a day when they will be consumed clean, if you want to hug this thick thigh, then you have to make yourself a useful person for him, at least comfortable and comfortable, otherwise people will have more and better choices, and they will be thrown away casually.
"It's a thing." The franchise policy of the Conqueror Chamber of Commerce was formulated by Gavin, so he naturally made it clear, and explained with a smile, "Uncle Bed, don't be careful, this is not just for you, but for all chambers of commerce of a certain size to join, we will refuse to join."
Because of our franchise policy, from the beginning, it is aimed at those local small and medium-sized chambers of commerce or shops.
One is that they are more malleable and can shape change according to our will, but they don't raise too many objections.
The second is to make full use of their influence in the local area, so that our chamber of commerce can nail a nail there, they are using our resources to make money, why not use them to integrate into the local area, and use their resources to do what we want to do, which is a typical win-win cooperation.
Those large chambers of commerce are different, most of them have their own industrial layout and their own mature operation mode.
If you join the Chamber of Commerce of the Conquistadors, there will be a lot of contradictions and conflicts, many of which are difficult to reconcile, and it is better to avoid them in the first place.
This does not mean that there is no opportunity for cooperation between the two parties, and the goods of the Conqueror Chamber of Commerce are not sold to you, but there is not much advantage in price, but if you keep your eyes on the farther and avoid competition with those local franchisees, you are still profitable. ”
Gavin didn't shy away from talking about the current development model of the Conqueror's Chamber of Commerce, and he didn't worry about Bader plagiarizing them.
Because this model is based on a unique monopoly product, they want to follow suit, first come up with enough unique products, and are willing to share the benefits with those low-level businessmen.
In addition to that, it is crucial that they have a large enough capacity.
No matter how big the stall is, if you don't have enough products to supply these franchisees, it won't be long before they leave you.
This development model, of course, will give up a large piece of interests, but it can open up the situation in the shortest time, and time is what Gavin lacks the most.
"I see." Bader has been in business for many years, and he can understand everything, and he was amazed, "Lord Lord is really an all-rounder, and with your way of doing things that are willing to share profits with others, it is difficult for anyone to refuse to cooperate with you." ”
"It's easy to be alone." Gavin beckoned, and a figure dressed in black leather armor and wrapped in a black ghost cloak stepped forward with light steps.
There was a cold aura on this man's body, like a shadow hidden in the shadows, and if it wasn't for Gavin beckoning him, Bed wouldn't have noticed his existence, only that he was a man, and he couldn't see his face clearly, because he covered his chin with the face cloth that thieves usually used, and wore a shadow eyecarf on his eyes.
Gavin pointed at him and said, "He will board the ship as an uncle's guard, he is only responsible for coordinating and supervising, and is not responsible for other work, he has the ability to contact me directly, if anything is wrong during the transportation, you can ask me for help through him." ”
This is, of course, a Shadow Wing carrying a Ghost Herald.
Another benefit of dragging Bade and other third parties into the game is to get a lot of free labor for themselves.
With such a large amount of military supplies, Gavin certainly can't safely hand them over to outsiders, and will inevitably send his own supervisors.
But no matter how dedicated those supervisors are, they will not be more concerned about the direct participants like Bed, because this is their entire net worth, and they will definitely keep an eye on the whole process and dare not relax in the slightest.
"Okay." Bader naturally won't refuse, which is equivalent to bringing a talisman with him, which can save his life at a critical moment.
"Don't make a mistake about the destination of this first batch of military supplies is Usmail in the Great Valley, not Tyfram in Sesk." Gavin again emphatically admonished.
Beder asked a little puzzled, "If it weren't for Sesk's request for help, wouldn't the Faren coalition army land at Seysk?" Why did we go to Juga? The two are hundreds of kilometers apart, and there is a Lysle Forest in the middle, so it will be extremely inconvenient to supply them when the time comes. ”
"It takes time for the main force of the Feren coalition to assemble, and it can't be done in a month or two, and before that, it can only be supported by the support of the Lesserman Kingdom and the surrounding kingdoms.
It can be seen from the main direction of the retreat of the inhabitants of the Kingdom of Lesserman, they are focused on the Giant Valley line, and once the Tucan army successfully crosses the lake, they will prioritize the defense of the Grand Path of the Great Valley rather than the Golden Road of Seysk.
After all, their forces are limited, and they can only resist danger and defend, not the empty plain area, not to mention, Searle's red-robed mage is on the south side, if they hold Sesk, they are easy to be caught by the two armies, and the defeat will be faster.
Where do you say that in this case, our military supplies should be stored? ”
Gavin patiently analyzes the situation of the war thousands of kilometers away for Bead.
"Needless to say, of course, it's in a safer place." Without hesitation, Bader replied, "I know what to do, my lord, don't worry, my eyes will be on our supplies for a moment, and I won't let them miss anything." ”
"Uncle Bedder, it's time for you to board the ship, and I'll be there short."
"Your Excellency, please stay."
"See you Seysk."
"Maybe you won't have to wait that long."
Woooooo
There was a hurried bull horn from the docks, the large temporary decks for loading were being retracted, and several three-masted armed transports were slowly moving away from the docks to join the fleet not far away.
The Cormier Kingdom can be the best this time, with a total of two fleets, with twelve three-masted warships and forty-eight three-masted armed transports.
Gavin and the military supplies they collected only accounted for a part of them, and the bulk of it was the Cormir Kingdom itself.
The soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first.
Even the Kingdom of Cormier did not have the ability to transport a large number of men and horses with grain and grass.
Only grain and grass can be taken first, a small number of elites are responsible for protection, and the second trip can be carried out on a large scale.
As for whether it will be targeted by the coalition forces of the Tucan army and the Kingdom of Serre, steal the house first.
Gavin and the others were not worried, because the grain and grass were too bulky to be transported on a large scale by such conventional means, and before they reached their destination, a vanguard army would pass first, set up corresponding outposts and granaries, and wait for them.
This huge fleet will sail in the Falling Star Sea for at least half a month, and Gavin and the others still have plenty of time to start preparing for this matter.
Before that, Gavin had to put the finishing touches on the army of the conquerors.
After ten days of arduous marching, the army of conquerors finally crossed the entire rocky land, leaving this rugged and difficult plateau and mountainous area, the whole process was not thrilling, there was only boredom and physical exhaustion, and the whole rocky land was difficult for them only the eternal natural environment.
The monsters were completely gone, as if the rocks were a place of peace and tranquility, but everyone knew that when the army of conquerors had passed, they would emerge again from the mountains, the deserts, and the dark caverns, filling the peaks and ravines here.
Along the way, the soldiers and civilians of the Cormier Kingdom were very friendly to the army of the conquerors, not only because of the latest orders from the Cormier royal family, but also because of the tangible benefits that the army of the conquerors could bring to them.
The army of the conquerors still adheres to the original concept of marching and doing business in parallel, carrying a large number of their unique goods, and opening the way with preferential and practical goods, it is really difficult for the soldiers and civilians here to feel bad for them.
Moreover, the size of the conqueror's army is here, and while the marching speed is slow, it also gives the elite of the team a lot of time to do other things, such as helping those villages and towns along the way to solve some problems that are difficult for them to solve.
As you can imagine, all of them were tracked by the elite of the conqueror's army, and even the lair was found.
Those with unique abilities and values can also save their lives, be controlled by the fairy charm bracelet, and become the control beast in the army of conquerors.
Those who can only kill, and have no other ability, can only contribute their last value, into the conquistador's casserole, to feed the hard-working immigrants, and have more physical strength to fight against the rocks.
Under Gavin's influence, the army of conquerors embraced a philosophy of eradicating evil and eradicating the roots, and they did not spare even the lair of the monsters.
Those valuable places, they will help those villagers to occupy and develop them by the way, and use them as granaries and wine cellars or something.
If it is worthless, after searching through it, let those kobolds use tremor bombs to blast and bury them directly.
Another reason for the abundance of monsters in the rocks is that there are so many caves here, many of which are not simply dug by monsters, but are connected to the dark regions.
For such a place, the conqueror army will leave a secret guard post to closely monitor the place, collect as much intelligence and information as possible here, and prepare for the next big development.
Counting them down, the army of conquerors crossed the rocks, not doing nothing at all, but most of them were preparations, and no substantial gains were seen in a short period of time.
After leaving the rocky field and entering the relatively gentle reclamation area of Red Springs, the army of the conquerors immediately became vigorous again, showing the vigor of the previous rapid advance, marching every day to pave the road for as little as 60 kilometers and as much as 80 kilometers.
It's a little slower than the peak on Ivanthor's side, but don't forget, it's winter now, and they've been walking north, and the days have become much shorter.
The road they paved was not the same as the one before.
Previously, at best, they had carved out a path in the wilderness, with only a rough outline, which did not hinder walking, but the image was very average.
After the rocks, there is a complete trade road, and the paving is no longer the original road opening team, but the kobold road construction team that Gavin has accumulated with paving techniques during this time.
"The gods are above? What kind of spell is this? Turning a dirt road into a brick road? Even those brick and stone roads are not so tight, nor are they so smooth, and it is the first time I have seen such a regular road. ”
"This is the five-ring spell turning mud into stone?"
"Wouldn't that be even more terrifying? Doesn't that mean that the kobolds who are casting spells are all transcendent spellcasters? ”
"No, it shouldn't be turning mud into stone, even if it's a legendary spellcaster, it shouldn't have such a shroud of light, it's more like a special spell, a spell specially used to pave the way."
"I heard earlier that the War Mage is working on a road technique that can make newly paved and repaired roads as smooth as brick and stone roads, wouldn't I say a similar spell?"
"That's not how this group of migrants came all the way, did it? If that were the case, wouldn't the whole Conqueror's Path be like this, and the road to Tesser would be incomparably smoother? ”
"Even if it wasn't at the beginning, it is estimated that it will be in the future, you see, how fast they are building roads, and the speed of the army behind them can't keep up with the speed of their road construction."
"I've also heard that they've erected a number of magical statues of the Conqueror along the way, and they've prayed to them to receive special magical blessings that will increase their movement speed."
"Prayer sacrifices? Isn't that the treatment that the gods are exclusively entitled to? That conqueror was so bold that he was not afraid of provoking the wrath of the gods? ”
"Which god is angry? There is no one among the gods who specializes in the priesthood of roads, and this great achievement of building thousands of kilometers of roads by oneself is not worth erecting monuments and statues to commemorate it? ”
"It seems to make sense."
"If he dares to do this, he is certainly not afraid of provoking the blame of the gods, and do not forget that he is the chosen person of the Lady of Strategy, and he is protected by someone."
"We don't need to worry about this matter, but it's a great thing for us, and we don't have to worry about the carriage getting stuck in the mud after the rain."
"Don't worry about the rain, but we need to worry about the snow, such a smooth road, covered by heavy snow, especially those that are solid and begin to melt, I am afraid that it will be a disaster, it is easy to fall out with people and horses."
"Haha...... You're talking nonsense, who would be in a hurry in that kind of weather? Honestly find a hotel or set up camp directly, bake around the stove, and wait until the snow has completely melted, and then rush again is the most correct choice. ”
"Ha, it's true that I'm overthinking, and overall, it's a good thing for everyone."
"I heard that this conquistador has signed a gambling agreement with our lady regent and the leader of the red crow mercenary group, and at the same time develops the rock land, which is already under the responsibility of the lady regent, and he is not doing the lady regent a favor in disguise by repairing the road on a large scale here?"
"Your question, you will show yourself a small pattern, is it in order to hinder the development of others, even self-interested projects can be abandoned? Not to mention how convenient it is to make their armies move, but this connection alone is extraordinary, and it should not be forgotten that the conqueror's territory is not limited to this one, he needs these roads to connect his territory. ”
"That's right, it is estimated that the high road is just the beginning, and in the future, they will build the Yuehai Highway along the way and the east road that crosses our Cormier according to this method."
"If you say that, I'm looking forward to riding my horse on these paved roads."
Recently, I have to have a change, since Eryang, the waist has been wrong, checked it, the waist disc is a little protruding, recently went to physiotherapy, a bit time-consuming, hey...... The book hasn't written any results yet, but there is an occupational disease first!
