When we arrived at the port all the way, we saw Crazy Qiao leading some people from the Qing Gang to greet us at the gate of the port.
Cao Nima said with a look of dissatisfaction: "Boss, why should we be polite to a small guild like Liming? Their number is not as large as one of our branch alliances!"
Jiang Xiaoyu said relatively rationally: "The strength of Dawn is no longer what it used to be! In addition, they also have a military fortress in their hands now, which directly guards the entrance of our Silver Moon City. It is only a matter of time before they become powerful.
matter."
But Cao Nima still said with disdain: "They only had Carmen 03 to make a comeback! During the time of "Zongheng", they were not even qualified to carry our shoes!"
Crazy Qiao had a sullen face and shouted displeasedly: "Shut up! Aren't you embarrassed enough?"
Cao Nima and Jiang Xiaoyu suddenly did not dare to say anything. Crazy Qiao continued: "Standing on one's own arrogance and being arrogant! If the Qing Gang does not want to withdraw from the stage of the national war, you must remember not to underestimate every opponent! Especially Carmen
03!”
Cao Nima's face curled up in displeasure. Although she was not convinced in her heart, she still said: "Yes!"
When Mu Xue saw that it was Crazy Qiao who came out to greet him in person, she immediately felt flattered and sheepishly shouted: "Gang Leader Qiao!"
"President Feixue, I've been waiting for you here for a long time! I heard that you opened another armor shop in Dawn. The development of Dawn is really impressive!" Crazy Qiao said in an official tone.
Mu Xue was immediately confused by his flattery and said: "Where? It's just a small fuss, and it can't compare with the daily business volume of Gang Leader Qiao's port!"
Crazy Joe also looked at me, and politely raised his hands and said, "Brother Carmen! You're welcome and safe!"
Although his attitude is much more polite, he still won't call me Brother Lin. Maybe in his mind, there is only one person who can qualify for this.
I chuckled and said, "People say that Madman Qiao is generous and generous, regardless of grudges. It seems that it is not groundless!"
He also smiled and said, "It's just the brothers who give me face!"
Murong Mingyue obviously didn't like these polite words, and said bluntly: "If you have anything to do, just say it! Aren't you tired of being so arty?"
Crazy Qiao, myself, and Mu Xue were all stunned for a moment in embarrassment. Crazy Qiao laughed and said, "Murong Mingyue is still the same fiery temper, it hasn't changed at all!" Then he turned to Mu Xue and said, "President Feixue.
, Qiao really has something to discuss with you, I wonder if it would be inconvenient for you to sit in the meeting hall? "
Gang leader Qiao and the main force of the Qing Gang came to the port to greet us. This attitude is already very face-saving. If we don't give face, then we can't be justified.
After arriving at the port meeting hall and taking seats on both sides of the long conference table, Crazy Qiao stopped beating around the bush and said, "President Feixue, you are putting me on the fire!"
Mu Xue deliberately pretended to be stupid and said: "Gang Leader Qiao, what do you say? In order to jointly resist the attack of the Blue Kite Knights, I gave away the most valuable port in my territory. How can I say that I am setting you up?"
How about roasting it on the fire?"
I was snickering on the sidelines.
"President Feixue, let's not speak secretly! Mingxiao and the Qinggang can be said to be inseparable now. The city war is imminent, and we should work together to safeguard the interests of Silver Moon City!" Crazy Qiao started again
Wearing a high hat, he said, "Do you think so?"
Mu Xue nodded slightly and said: "That's right! However, Gang Leader Qiao, aren't we cooperating now? We are responsible for the fortress at Dawn, and your Qing Gang is responsible for the port. We are all protecting Silver Moon City together.
Portal. And our territory is very close, which is an interdependent relationship!"
Crazy Qiao breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "It would be best if President Feixue could realize this! I hope that based on our current relationship, we can reach an agreement with President Feixue to help each other in the future.
Formal alliance, what do you think?"
The well-deserved first big guild in Silver Moon City actually took the initiative to ask for an alliance with us at Dawn. If it were any other guild, they would have been eager to do so and would have nodded in agreement immediately.
However, Mu Xue found a rather speechless excuse, "Our alliance quota is full..."
In fact, if it were a small guild like Heaven and Earth, and if the Qing Gang took the initiative to seek an alliance with him, I'm afraid this fat man like my dad, who is the governor, would be able to kick the Changxing Gang out of the alliance immediately. So this is not a problem at all.
The problem is that Dawn's goal is to be the first guild in Silvermoon City, which will inevitably conflict with the Qing Gang's interests in all aspects in the future. Even if they form an alliance, the relationship between this alliance cannot last long.
Churchill once said that there are no permanent enemies and no permanent friends, only permanent interests.
In the face of interests, enemies can fight side by side, and comrades can stab you in the back.
And our relationship between Dawn and the Qinggang is definitely not a friendly one. We had a fight at Jinshatan Beach just a few days ago. I'm afraid the resentment between the members has not gone away! If we want to form an alliance now, it's still not possible.
It's too early.
Moreover, forming an alliance now will only benefit the Qinggang without any harm, but it will not do any good to us at Dawn.
Maybe he had thought of this, so Crazy Qiao showed some sincerity and said proactively: "As a close ally, I also know that the benefits of Iserlohn Fortress in the Dawn Territory are not very good, and the construction of the territory in all aspects
They all need money. Therefore, I decided to use half of the port’s self-retained tax to support the construction of your territory!”
half!!!
We were all a little shocked!
Crazy Qiao’s move was so cruel that he actually threw out half of his retained tax money as a temptation.
I remember once reading a joke about a private salt dealer who bribed a local official. The official was always honest and upright, and he refused directly and unceremoniously. So the bribe of one thousand taels of silver from the private salt dealer was increased to five
Ten thousand taels of silver, but the official still refused to accept it. Finally, the private salt dealer was cruel and sent him one hundred thousand taels of silver. The honest official had no choice but to accept it. He said with a sad face: "If I don't accept it, the one hundred thousand taels of silver will be lost."
The money is enough to bribe my immediate boss. When the time comes, not to mention my black hat, my life will not be guaranteed!"
And now, the same situation happened to Mu Xue and Crazy Qiao.
The bait thrown by Crazy Qiao is really too tempting. Even if we really don't want it at dawn, the 10% retained tax will be enough to buy more than half of the guilds in Silver Moon City to work for him, not to mention their combat power.
The huge disparity, even in terms of numbers, is extremely exaggerated.
Crazy Qiao's move was really amazing, it was clear that he was going to seduce Mingxiao.
