Menethil's Power

Chapter 72

Faced with this kind of problem, Chip showed great professionalism. He took out a piece of paper full of scribbled data from nowhere. Judging from the softness of the paper, Isaacs couldn't help wondering whether its predecessor It's a piece of toilet paper.

"According to the analysis of the most professional accountants of the consortium, there is at least a 30% gap in the alliance's various military supplies, and the Bilgewater Consortium can make up for it." The goblin said quickly: "Trade Prince Marty has [-]% of the gap. A three-masted ship can send hundreds of tons of goods to any corner of the Eastern Kingdom within a week.” The goblin’s eyes have completely turned into the shape of gold coins, “weapons, armor, food, metal, wood, and even The ship itself, we sell everything!"

The goblin's shrill but passionate voice echoed in the empty throne room, and the nobles who had been talking about it unexpectedly quieted down collectively, and even Qipu's aura weakened, and he bowed his waist carefully, with an awkward smile on his face Looking around, "Uh, did I offend you?"

Fortunately, Isaacs helped him out, "I believe that there should be no omissions in our confidentiality work." Isaacs glanced at Chip, "What the ambassador of the Bilgewater Consortium said is more like a professional team. A rough analysis of the intelligence."

"That's right, that's right." Chip said yes again and again, and gave Isaacs a grateful look.

"Don't be too happy, Mr. Chip." Isaacs turned around and said, "Although the alliance is currently short of supplies due to repeated campaigns, we don't have too much urgent demand for your supplies. I think you must Figure out the supply and demand relationship between the two sides.”

Chip suddenly had a bad feeling, this young human kid doesn't look like you are easy to fool, "Your Highness, you have to understand that the Bilgewater Consortium has always upheld the principle of neutrality, and our decision to help the alliance is Very commendable." He said with some difficulty.

"Come on." Isaacs showed a disdainful expression, "You must have hoarded a large amount of military supplies for sale before the war, but the war ended sooner than you expected, so if you don't sell these supplies again It will all be rotten in your hands, and the Horde's market is monopolized by your competitors, so the Alliance becomes the only buyer, right, Mr. Chip?" The young prince's words made the ground tremble with painstaking care.

Regardless of Chip's pale face, Isaacs seemed to be talking to himself and continued, "No wonder you guys came to the door in a hurry, and didn't even pursue the previous arrears. If I guessed right, your I'm afraid the trade prince will lose a lot of money this time." Isaacs' expression suddenly became strange.

Chip looked around helplessly, and his gaze finally fell on Garuvik, who gave him a helpless look. "Well, Your Royal Highness, the Alliance can purchase the Bilgewater Consortium's combat supplies at a price 40% higher than the purchase price. This is our last line." The goblin seemed to lose all its strength in an instant.

"I think 80% of the purchase price is a reasonable price." Isaacs said very grimly.

Chip jumped up all of a sudden, "How is that possible! You want the goblin to trade at a loss!" There was horror in his eyes. "135%! This is the lowest price!"

"80%." Isaacs was completely unmoved.

"130%! This is really a bloody sale!"

"80%." Isaacs didn't want to give in at all, "Listen, Goblin, I seriously doubt the authenticity of the purchase price you quoted, so this is the final price, and there will be no further changes." His attitude was very Tough, with the attitude of breaking up if there is no agreement.

Chip wants to cry but has no tears.But Garuvik, who had been watching coldly from the side, spoke. He looked at Isaacs, showing a serious expression rarely seen among the goblins, "Your Highness Isaacs, I think we should have a little comrade-in-arms friendship."

Isaacs thought of the Holy Light Bomb in Fengxing Village, and nodded slightly.

"Then I pray to you as someone who once fought alongside you, and hope that you will increase your price." Garuvik bowed down respectfully.

Isaacs pondered for a while, then turned his head to look at Terenas, and the old king made a gesture of your own decision. "I can increase the price to [-]% of the purchase price, but the Bilgewater Consortium must sell the blueprint of the flying golem." Isaacs put forward his own request.

Seeing the bewildered expressions of the two goblins, Isaacs couldn't help sighing, "Hasn't it been built yet? Garuvik, what is your most advanced manned combat machine?"

"Reaper IV," Garuvik replied.

"Okay then, I need the manufacturing blueprints of the Reaper series."

"How is this possible!" Chip felt like he was going crazy, "That's the core technology of goblins! We only sell finished products!!"

"I'm afraid you will make an exception this time." Isaacs spread his hands, "if your trade prince doesn't want to lose everything."

"We will never leak this core technology, unless it is the same technology exchange." Chip suddenly calmed down, and recovered the cunning and shrewdness that a goblin should have, "If your highness is willing to use the battle ax to throw the blade In exchange for the manufacturing technology of the device, "

Isaacs raised his eyebrows, "This sounds like a good deal. Then let me confirm that the Bilgewater Consortium is willing to exchange the manufacturing technology of the Reaper series of manned combat machines for Blizzard's manufacturing technology of the Tomahawk blade thrower. He showed a signature smile, and deliberately emphasized the words "blade thrower".

A smile similar to that of Isaacs appeared on Chip's face, "Yes, the full set of manufacturing technology of the Reaper series." He also emphasized.

The two guys who had their own agendas and thought they had taken advantage of it just signed the contract. Garuvik opened his mouth to say something, but Chip gave him a hard look.Isaacs noticed this small detail, and his heart suddenly moved.

In such a friendly atmosphere, the negotiations between the two sides continued, but the representative of Lordaeron was replaced by the Minister of Finance and Taxation.Isaacs, who had already got what he wanted, bid farewell to the old king, and led the bewildered Garuvik into the quiet room on the left side of the throne room.

The soundproofing of this quiet room used for secret meetings was excellent. "What exactly did you want to say when you signed the contract?" Isaacs asked, looking at the goblin's hesitant expression, and added, "This is a question from a partner who has fought together. I hope you can answer it truthfully."

Ah bah, comrade-in-arms?It’s okay for Isaacs not to say this, but when Garuvik mentioned Fengxing Port, his chest was about to explode, “If it wasn’t for that damn deal with you, I should be staying with my girlfriend in Villa Kezan right now! "The goblin suddenly broke out.

Isaacs made an innocent expression, "With Lordaeron's reputation, there is no possibility of defaulting on the debt. If you want, I can pay the full amount now, including all interest."

Garruvik was almost choking, he calmed down, and showed a smirk, "You shouldn't have signed that contract with Chip so hastily."

"Why?"

"Because all the technology in Dajing is based on Kaya ore, without this ore as energy, those machines are just scrap copper and rotten iron!" Garuvik said proudly, trying to find something on Isaacs' face. Shocked or regretful, "and this kind of ore is only produced in Kezan and the adjacent Lost Isles."

So it was, Isaacs suddenly realized.No wonder Chip agreed to his terms so easily. It turned out that the idea was to sell energy at a high price.

But did Lordaeron really suffer?Isaacs curled his lips noncommittally. He did not seek the goblin harvester manufacturing technology for the purpose of making such a rough and crude machine, not to mention that what he used in exchange was only the blade thrower manufacturing technology, and people with some magic common sense Everyone knows that the core technology of the blade thrower lies in the blade.

Now that he has figured out the tricks in this seemingly fair contract, Isaacs no longer dwells on it. "Isn't Gallywix the trade prince of the Bilgewater Consortium? And who is Marti?" he asked curiously.

"Don't mention that fat guy to me." Garouvik said a little irritably, "He's not yet a trade prince, although he will be soon, and Marty won't last long." His expression suddenly became depressed.

"That's why you speak for Malti's interests." Isaacs said.

"That's right, Gallywix has basically emptied the old Marty, and all the trade prince's subordinates have basically been recruited by Gallywix, including that Chip outside. If Marty loses too much in this business, he will lose the crown almost immediately."

Unlike the human royal family, which inherits rights by blood, the goblin's status depends entirely on his property. It is not difficult to understand why Gallywix can easily usurp the throne.But now there seems to be an incomprehensible question, "If Chip is also under Gallywix, why is he unwilling to lower the selling price? You know, the more you lose in this business, the more unfavorable it is to Malti." Ai Sachs asked puzzled.

"Because both he and his master have a share in this business." Garuvik said coldly.

Isaacs understood, and sure enough, only gold coins determine the relationship between goblins. "What about you, Gallywix? Have you accepted Gallywix's offer?"

"Don't confuse me with that hillbilly from the labor town!" Garuvik suddenly lost his temper. "I will never be with that scum! He has such dirty thoughts about Nessa!"

"Who?" Isaacs grasped the key point keenly.

"Naisha, the daughter of old Malti, the most beautiful pearl in Kezan, her skin is like a deep green ocean..." There was a trace of tenderness in Garuvik's eyes, obviously this is a goblin with a story.

Isaacs roughly listened to Garouvik's tragic story. It was nothing more than a story about a childhood sweetheart who was forcibly separated by snobbish parents, and then a poor boy who worked hard but was finally defeated by reality. Isaacs had no interest and began to wander around .

According to Garuvik's narration, Kezan is obviously facing a turbulent situation. The old trade prince is about to be destroyed, Gallywix is ​​taking office, and the entire Bilgewater Consortium is reshuffled. Obviously, there is a lot to do...

Garuvik finished his dead love in a choked voice, his eyes already filled with tears.Isaacs kindly handed over a tissue, "So for a male goblin, wealth and power are always the best decorations." The young prince concluded.

The goblin took a tissue and stroked his nose heavily, making a loud noise.

The young prince suddenly grabbed Garuvik's shoulder, looked at the dazed goblin with piercing eyes, and said in a very seductive tone: "So tell me, Garuvik, you are willing to become the new trade prince ?"

The goblin suddenly opened his eyes wide.
