Near noon the next day, the caravan finally arrived at the Worrall Werewolf Tribe.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Xu Yi felt that this time Thunder? Chief Worler’s attitude towards them became more cautious than last time.
Especially when facing Xu Yi, this change in attitude is very obvious.
The last time Chief Worler looked at Xu Yi with a look of disdain, this time when he saw Xu Yi, he even took the initiative to show a smile.
Although the smile on his wolf head was very ugly and even scary, it was enough to reflect his enthusiasm for Xu Yi.
Of course, this may also be because he received half a million gold coins from humans like Xu Yi.
Even the orcs still have to live.
With these five hundred thousand gold coins, the Worrall werewolf tribe can buy a large number of urgently needed daily necessities from humans, improve the lives of the entire tribe, and also consolidate his position as the leader of the tribe. Of course, he will treat many Others are more enthusiastic.
The caravan took a short break at the Woller Werewolf Tribe. After lunch, the guards escorted the convoy to the non-ferrous metal veins next to the tribe.
Mining is not something that can be done in a day or two. According to the plan, the three chambers of commerce will build a living base next to the mine for the workers responsible for the preliminary projects to live.
After that, a series of subsequent equipment and labor will be shipped one after another, and this vein will be truly mined.
According to estimates, this time will take about three to four months.
But compared with mining, the real problem of this mine is logistics.
After all, this mineral vein is located in the Black Rice Wasteland, and it is not particularly close to the nearest town of Samara. It will be quite difficult to carry out various logistical supplies.
To ensure this, the three decided through consultation. First, let the Amli Chamber of Commerce send a construction team to build the road from the Volar Werewolf Tribe to the small town of Samara.
In this way, the transportation time between the small town of Samara and the Volar werewolf tribe can be shortened to half a day, and the orcs who intend to rob can be avoided.
As for logistical materials, they will be reasonably transported to Samara Town by the three chambers of commerce and stored in advance. Just bring it over when needed.
After solving this preliminary problem, the Amli Chamber of Commerce will seize the time to build a road connecting Bangta City to Samara Town.
In this regard, Xu Yi's suggestion is that instead of building a new road connecting Bangta City directly to Samara Town, it is better to build a road connecting Samara Town to Luoyu Valley.
Although this will make a small circle, and the total distance may be increased by dozens of kilometers, but because of the existence of the Luoyu Highway, the Amuli Chamber of Commerce does not need to build more than 100 kilometers of roads at a time. Only a road of about 60 to 70 kilometers between Luoyu Valley and Samara Town needs to be built, which will undoubtedly save a lot of money and time.
In addition to material issues, what troubles the three most is actually the issue of workers.
The Black Rice Wasteland is the territory of the orcs, and in the eyes of most humans, the orcs are hateful and ferocious. It is not friendly to humans, so it is basically unnecessary. Generally, no humans will come to the territory of the orcs.
And if you want to mine this vein of minerals, you will have to send a lot of workers.
However, it is too difficult to require human workers to live and work in orc territory for a long time.
For this reason, the three chambers of commerce all promised high salaries when they hired workers, even close to thirty gold coins a month.
But even so. The number of human workers willing to come is still far from enough to meet demand.
When the three of them discussed the issues they were going to face next, they felt a little unsustainable every time the discussion reached this point.
Before, the three of them could only say that they would take their time. Under the temptation of high salaries, they would be able to recruit enough human workers.
But this time when he came to the Worrall Werewolf Tribe and felt the change in attitude of the leader Thunder Woller, Xu Yi thought of a new possibility.
After lunch, Xu Yi made an appointment with Chief Woller and made his request to him.
"You want our tribe to work for you?" Chief Woller's eyes widened and he looked at Xu Yi in surprise. Wondering if this human being is crazy
Before this, the relationship between the orcs and humans was only about taking what they needed from each other and making innocuous transactions. Other than that, they only had to fight each other, and there was no other connection at all.
This time these humans said they were going to mine near their tribe. He even actually paid him half a million gold coins, which was enough to surprise him.
Now this human being actually said that he would hire his own people to work for their chamber of commerce. This is too outrageous.
"Is there any problem?" Xu Yi smiled, as if he couldn't see the surprise of Chief Woller at all. "I think you, Chief Woller, should know by now that in our New Flying Chamber of Commerce, there are not only human workers, but also elf workers and dwarf workers. So, I don't think it would be surprising to have more orc workers, right?"
Chief Woller knew this, but he still felt a little strange.
"Why are those dwarves and even those annoying elves willing to work for you? What benefits have you given them?" Chief Woller asked curiously.
"It's nothing special. I just provide them with jobs, and then pay them wages and benefits on time just like I treat human workers." Xu Yi spread his hands and said.
"Is it that simple? Those guys are actually willing to work honestly in your Chamber of Commerce?" Chief Woller obviously didn't believe it.
"It's that simple." Xu Yi nodded. "I don't think there is anything unacceptable in this. Whether they are dwarves or elves, they also need to survive, don't they? Working in our chamber of commerce can get a stable salary, and then use these salaries to buy what they want. Thing, what’s wrong with that?”
"You said... they can buy everything they want with gold coins?" Chief Woller asked immediately.
"Yes. Because I applied for the labor certificate from the Kingdom Council for them. During the period when the labor certificate is valid, no matter they are dwarves or elves, they can enjoy the same treatment as ordinary human residents in the kingdom. Of course, they can buy anything they want with money. Things you need." After a pause, Xu Yi added: "Of course, there are many things that even human residents cannot buy, and they are no exception."
"Labor certificate? So powerful?" Chief Worler immediately became very interested in the concept of "labor certificate". He held Xu Yi and asked him to explain it for a long time, and then he understood the specific meaning of this thing.
"That is to say... if our people come to work in your Chamber of Commerce, and then you apply for labor certificates on their behalf, they can take gold coins to buy whatever they want in your human world? You guarantee that the money they spend will be the same as yours?" The money spent when buying things is exactly the same?" Chief Woller asked again.
"I can't guarantee this." Xu Yi shook his head. "But what I can guarantee is that if a product is clearly priced at one gold coin, then humans will spend one gold coin when buying it, and orcs with labor certificates will only spend one gold coin when buying it. Merchants I won’t ask you for more money just because you are an orc.”
"That's enough!" Chief Woller slapped the table hard, and the wolf's head was filled with joy. "You damn human merchants... Oh, I'm sorry, President Xu, I'm not talking about you. In short, when we used to buy things from you humans, we could only exchange them for things, but we couldn't buy them with money. Many times we knew We know that the things we exchange can actually be sold for more money in your human world, but there is no way. If we don't exchange them, the human merchants won't give us them at all. It would be much better if we had this labor certificate. ”
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "Chief Woller, are you worried about your five hundred thousand gold coins?"
Chief Woller opened his mouth wide, looked up to the sky and let out a haha.
Although Xu Yi and the others paid him 500,000 gold coins last time for purchasing the non-ferrous metal vein, as a werewolf, Chief Woller knew that even if he used the 500,000 gold coins to purchase various items needed by the tribe from humans, If he were to raise supplies, he would definitely be deceived, so he was always worried about how to use the five hundred thousand gold coins.
Now Xu Yi suddenly asked for something like a labor certificate, and he suddenly saw hope.
"President Xu, if you are willing to do me a favor, I can agree to your request and let the tribesmen work for you." Chief Woller said.
Xu Yi smiled, seeing the expectant look on Chief Woller's face, he knew what kind of favor he wanted him to do without having to guess.
"I'm afraid I can't help you with this. You should talk to President Leersa."
"Lelsa?" Patriarch Woller snorted coldly as he puffed out a cloud of white air from his nostrils. "This shameful human has deceived us for long enough. Do you still want me to believe him?"
"There's no way." Xu Yi spread his hands and said helplessly. "After all, Patriarch Relsa and I are partners. It is impossible for me to reach this kind of agreement with you without telling him. The Renekton Chamber of Commerce is basically responsible for the trade between the orcs and humans. If I promise you this, I and I will I’m afraid there will be no possibility of cooperation between President Relsa in the future.”
"But if you don't promise me, there will be no possibility of cooperation between us." Chief Woller said unceremoniously.
"No, Chief Woller, the matter is not so absolute." Xu Yi was unmoved and still smiled: "Although I cannot promise you to help you solve this problem, I can help you and President Leersa Negotiate and try to get him to meet your needs. "What do you think?"
Chief Worler looked at Xu Yi with suspicion: "Do you really want to help me?"
"To be precise, I want to help everyone while achieving the goal. I used to call this a win-win situation, but now it's a win-win situation."
Chief Worrall thought for a while and nodded slowly.
