"Since you introduced him to me, please take me to meet him... x."
Regarding Goron's sudden proposal, Cassandra showed the calmness and calmness of a superior, as well as her unreserved trust in Goron. There was no strange look on her face, and she did not even ask who Goron was introducing. Who agreed to his request.
In the living room, Gronn, the goblin businessman Tarkin Hillman, and the old street boss Cassandra finally had their first three-party meeting.
What surprised Goron was that the goblin businessman and the big boss not only knew each other, but were also very familiar with each other, but...
"Hey, hey, hey~~! Here's the gold coin, my little Goron, you actually brought me to see this damn woman. Don't you know how troublesome she is, how disgusting and disgusting she is to the goblins? ? When I saw her, I felt as if I had lost my wallet~~~!
"That's exactly what I want to say, dear, if the partner you want to introduce to me is this dirty, ugly, despicable green dwarf, then please allow me to refuse."
As soon as the two sides met, they sarcastically and sarcastically mocked each other, causing Goron, who had just planned a beautiful future not long ago, to have two big heads in an instant. He really didn't expect that the two people would have such an incompatible relationship. After a lot of hard work, Gron finally figured out the grudge and entanglement between the two... Or should we say "that little thing", which really made Gron lament the boredom of the God of Destiny. , they have a bad relationship and even have something to do with Gron.
Not so long ago. The goblin merchant exchanged a batch of seasonings and daily necessities from the Black Hand Ogre for hundreds of exquisite jewelry. Naturally, there are dozens or even hundreds of times of attractive profits, but here comes the problem. Naturally, these jewelry are all stolen goods. All of them bear the magical imprint of the chamber of commerce to which they belong. This is not only a trademark, but also facilitates the recovery of lost items. Therefore, Tarkin Hillman simply cannot make a move through formal channels. Because he couldn't explain the origin of this batch of jewelry, he couldn't say that he had a good relationship with the powerful figures of the Black Hand Ogre and were conducting secret transactions.
After some hard thinking, the treacherous goblin businessman turned his attention to the prostitutes in the old street. As we all know, women are the most beautiful creatures. It is also the creature least resistant to jewelry. This is especially true for women in the old streets. Their beautiful appearance is almost all their wealth, and no matter how much they invest in beauty, they will not feel distressed. In addition, the big boss is very generous to his girls. And generous, every old street girl has a large amount of private savings. The chamber of commerce's investigation was actually more like extortion and extortion. They didn't care at all how the jewelry leaked out from the black-handed ogre, but directly blamed Lao Cai. They even filed a complaint with the General Federation of Chambers of Commerce on the extremely ridiculous charge of "prostitutes colluding with ogres to rob merchants in Luochia Port". At that time, Lao Cai was still living a life of humiliation and resignation. Even the big bosses were not willing to make things big because of some jewelry, so losing money and eliminating disasters became the only option. After Hui made a severe blackmail, the newly established intelligence network of the angry Lao Cai quickly locked the culprit.
Damn goblins...
At that time, Lao Cai did not have the courage to retaliate directly against a well-known big businessman in Lunchiao Port, but the big boss was not a character who would just swallow her anger, so she could be said to have used whatever means necessary to retaliate against him in a woman's "delicate way". The goblins retaliated, slandered, spread rumors, hired a large number of pickpockets to visit the shops of the Tarkin Chamber of Commerce, spread a large amount of information that was unfavorable to the Tarkin Chamber of Commerce, and other actions that caused the goblins to suffer financial losses that were many times more than the income from the jewelry. This is even more uncomfortable than killing the goblins directly, but this matter cannot be exposed. The goblin merchants, like Lao Cai, had to grit their teeth and endure the losses. Although after getting rid of their bad temper, Lao Cai terminated the retaliatory action. , and although the goblin is a small-minded person who holds a grudge, he is still more interested in how to make money again than endless revenge on each other, so the matter was left undisturbed, but the hatred still remained firmly there. In the hearts of the two bosses.
After figuring out these things, Gron could only smile bitterly, but he also knew that he had to solve this problem, otherwise the subsequent plan would not be able to proceed at all. Fortunately, he already had a full understanding of these two people, especially Goblin merchants, just like Tarkin Hillman may be the alien who knows Gronn best, Gronn also knows how to deal with him.
"Lao Cai can help you expand the size of the chamber of commerce several times or even dozens of times in a short period of time. Of course, your daily net income will also increase a lot. Counting money until your hands get cramps may not be a dream... . ..”
After seeing the green-skinned goblin's eyes sparkle for an instant, Goron turned to the big boss who was sulking with his arms crossed and said: "Now Laojie is in a very sensitive and dangerous position, and you are standing on the cusp of the storm. , has attracted too much attention. In any case, the identity of 'prostitute' is too sensitive and is not suitable for being in the public eye, because it can easily irritate some people's nerves. If those people really join forces, The old street cannot take any advantage, and heavy casualties are almost inevitable. If an orthodox businessman can come forward on your behalf at this time to take over the gangster chassis and exposed business that the old street has taken down but cannot eat. If there is a vacancy, not only can it successfully divert the attention of Luochiagang elsewhere, but it can also make people subconsciously think that they did not lose to you women, but lost in business competition, which will make it easier for them to accept it. Realistically, we won’t do impulsive and stupid things. After all, in Luochao Port, there will often be a sudden rise or decline of a certain chamber of commerce.”
"Gold coins" and "girls from the old street" are undoubtedly the Achilles heel of these two people. As long as there is money to be made, as long as the danger to the girls is reduced, they can make compromises, whether it is Tarkin Hillman or Kasan Della is undoubtedly a sane and smart person, and strictly speaking, their little feud is really not a big deal. The loss of the goblin merchant can be compensated with more gold coins, and the big boss also naturally They would not let go of the jeweler's guild that had extorted them, and the Tarkin Chamber of Commerce did not appear in the team that was preparing to rob the old street last night. This also satisfied the big boss's psychological bottom line, so after the two of them were cold, The alliance was finally established without any further expression of opposition.
Afterwards, there was nothing going on with Goron. After entering the state, the big boss and the goblin merchants were fully involved in the follow-up discussions, including how to transfer the materials and wealth that the old street girls snatched last night to the Tarkin Chamber of Commerce. , and then the goblin merchants who are experienced in selling stolen goods will launder this huge wealth and redistribute it proportionally. There are also business vacancies left by gangs and chambers of commerce, which can be acquired through formal channels in the name of the Tarkin Chamber of Commerce, and then the people from the old street can take care of them behind the scenes. There are also those captives who can revive the cold slave trade in Port of Low Tide...
The woman and the goblin were extremely immersed in the discussion. Although they often argued over the most critical wealth distribution, it could still be seen that they were actually becoming more and more satisfied with their partners. First of all, goblins can look at the old street prostitutes in front of them without any prejudice or special eyes, but simply regard them as business partners. This is nothing to the goblins themselves. After all, men and women , even ogres are no different in his eyes. But for a big boss from Lao Cai, such a completely reciprocal dialogue environment is rare. Except for goblins, it is indeed impossible for human merchants to be willing to do business with prostitutes on an equal footing.
The big boss Cassandra only really cares about the people around her. The more gold coins and wealth the better, but she doesn't force it. She can make appropriate concessions in the distribution of interests, and these concessions of hers will undoubtedly make her more popular among the goblins. His eyes became even cuter. In addition, Lao Cai has money and some have guns, but Tajin Chamber of Commerce has legitimate identities and various channels that Lao Cai does not have. The two sides complement each other and are like a duck in water. In the end, Goron even had the illusion that these two people were Didn't he completely forget about him as a facilitator and important partner
At this moment, a series of rapid footsteps sounded. An old street girl didn't even have time to knock on the door. She pushed the door directly in and reported anxiously to the big boss and Goron: "It's not good! Big boss, suddenly here Surrounded by the troops of the Survey Corps~~~!”
This was really bad news. The three people immediately stopped talking and looked out through the cracks in the window. Sure enough, they saw hundreds of soldiers wearing imperial-style armors, fully armed, surrounding the small building where they were. Moreover, many archers with flat-ended powerful bows and crossbows can be seen from the rooftops and windows opposite.
The Survey Corps is not at the same level as those gangsters last night. Let alone the actual combat effectiveness of this unit. Resisting them is equivalent to resisting the empire. It will be the worst road of no return... .
What went wrong? Is it the young earl? Or did the madness in Laojie last night finally provoke this behemoth
Just as Goron was thinking about it, he suddenly saw a very familiar figure in the corps array...)
