If someone comes here specifically to go to the deep sea, they are naturally not traveling.
If it were a year ago, he would probably be squatting somewhere mining to make money, opening up a front and making more money.
But now, he is no longer small and his status is no longer low. Not only will he not be able to squat anymore, he may even starve himself to death because the "stable income" he obtains is not enough.
"I am a businessman. In my hometown, they call me "Have a safe journey." This is a blessing. It also hopes that business will go smoothly and everyone will develop smoothly."
Someone is here to discuss business.
"I am here to discuss business on behalf of my clansmen, at least those clansmen within the range that I can influence."
This time, Lu Ping'an came here not just for himself.
He thought about it, if he really wanted to change the world, perhaps to seek more benefits for his own tribe and his own planet, what should he do?
Is it just to create more military resources? Yes, it is being done, and everyone is doing it.
Is it to develop the "earth technology" of this world and create more shipyards and R&D centers? Ping An is doing this, and others are also doing it.
Lu Ping'an had thought about it and hesitated. Everyone was busy, for themselves, for the race, and to fight for the world, but what should I say?
"Nothing will change in a short period of time."
The result of Lu Ping'an's consideration is that the current general situation is that the enemy is strong and we are weak. The human side came too late, and more than 99% of the native Long-Hand Clan have died.
However, Mr. Lu and the people from Earth came too late, and their massive entry in just three or four years was not enough to change the general trend.
"In order to fight the other three major disasters, we need to win the support of the local majority, but the question is who is the majority?"
Because some forces have indeed done too much, after a simple calculation, everyone discovered a helpless reality. The main majority of the races in this world are no longer multi-handed people, but fish people!
Even if you count down, the second and third ones will not be the Long-Handed Clan, but those aquatic races that live in foreign lands, and even those gray dwarves, the number of which is much greater than the Long-Handed Clan.
What's strange is that the relationship between the fish people and the long-hand tribe is pretty good. Even in this city, Lu Ping'an saw some long-hand tribe that were obviously localized.
In fact, the reason is very simple if you look into it carefully. Everyone is a "refugee", especially the Changshou tribe, who are the biggest victims and do not even have the power to resist. Naturally, they have no "right" to hold grudges.
"Justice and compassion will change nothing."
After thinking and hesitating, Lu Pingan made a decision.
He came to this murloc city that no one had ever been to and took the initiative to open up this route and trade route.
"I personally have a business group and several long-term stable trade routes. I can provide the materials and goods you need. Are you interested?
Lu Ping'an didn't mention "munitions", "strength", "bloodline" or anything like that. He just started his own trade route as a lone trading group with a large ship.
These words immediately stunned the fishman lord.
According to the speculations of him and his think tank, if this stranger really wanted to talk about anything when he came here, it would probably be something like "peace agreement", "jointly clearing up the wild fishman tribe", and "ensuring the safety of the route".
If you want to do business, why don't you just open a shop outside? The systems in this ancient deep-sea city are imperfect, so can anyone really stop you?
“I had a little too much”
With that said, Lu Ping'an started unloading the goods directly.
First of all, there are truck after truck of "delicious food", including but not limited to various cooked foods, processed snacks, pastries, which are basically human "specialties".
As soon as these things appeared, Lu Pingping saw these murlocs subconsciously opening and closing their mouths. This is a characteristic of this group of people that stimulates appetite.
Lu Ping'an also knew that human "gadgets" would occasionally fall into the hands of such fishmen. After all, intelligent fishmen often came to the floating city to work.
But in the eyes of these murlocs and marine tribes who can't even eat cooked food, a mountain of "human food" is probably more exaggerated than a mountain of gold.
Secondly, the total quantity and quality of the various "kitchenware", "magically modified household appliances", and "simple underwater shuttle" brought over by Lu Ping'an are absolutely exaggerated.
What they have in common is that their functions are clear at a glance and they are very simple and easy to use.
At first, the fishman nobles could remain calm, but eventually when the entire house and even the square outside were filled with goods, no one could remain calm anymore.
"What do you want?" The fishman lord's eyes widened, unable to contain his desire at all.
"Complete"
Before Lu Pingan played her favorite joke, Catherine quickly interrupted and said hurriedly.
"We need some of your deep-sea specialties, as well as trophies from battles with other ethnic groups. Here is a list. See if you have any. We will also accept similar things."
If Lu Ping'an was joking casually, he might just explode and start fighting. Catherine, covering her heart, quickly explained.
In fact, it was agreed before that the first transaction was half sale and half free.
There was no expectation of getting anything from this city, because no one was sure what he had.
"The important thing is to get them used to the existence of 'human beings'"
Cultural erosion? No, just the need for a better life.
In terms of food, entertainment, medical care, transportation, etc., humans are far ahead of the fish people who still live in primitive tribal society.
But in fact, they still live their simple and unpretentious primitive life, not because they have any nostalgia for the past, but simply because they have not tried anything better.
Food is the most valuable commodity, which means the cornerstone of population and stable life, and "seasonings" are disgusting things that humans eat. As long as the fishmen's appetite is slightly adjusted, they can really be sold.
The price of gold.
In the history of mankind, things like tea, spices, seasonings, and wine were once the mainstay of commodity trade. Nowadays, faced with the poor fish people, they are naturally irresistible temptations.
"This is just the first transaction. If it can be confirmed that our business group can make profits here, more business groups will naturally come over in the future."
Lu Ping'an didn't even intend to monopolize this trade route. On the contrary, he was actually exploring the trade route and spending money on a high-probability attempt.
God knows whether the ethnic groups here will like your products. No one can be sure that they will prefer trading rather than plundering. Even if everything goes well, they may not be able to provide equivalent "value".
It doesn't matter if the road is safe. Except for the underwater shuttle, which is somewhat valuable, the rest combined are not as good as a quasi-pollution weapon.
As for robbing? Well, first of all, Lu Pingan knew that tribal leaders with a little bit of intelligence knew the importance of long-term trade routes, and even if they encountered stupid people, Lu Pingan had the confidence to leave alone.
"Making money? Business? In fact, they are all by-products. What we really want to achieve is a conspiracy that cannot be concealed. We need to bring together the scattered ethnic groups in this world. The opponent is too strong. We need the strength of all lives.
strength"
How? Slogan? Incite hatred?
No, this is a group of refugees and prodigal dogs. Desperation and anger are not enough.
The brave ones among them dare to die, but most ordinary lives are just trying to survive. If they can live and hide for a day, they are lucky.
What's more, in their eyes, thousands of years have passed. Even if the end of the world is destined to come, and they will die on that day, why must they go to the front line by themselves?
"People who have nothing are too greedy. I want them to have the courage and determination to protect themselves. I just want them to have a present and future worth protecting."
Lu Ping'an may really be doing charity this time. Even if the other party can't come up with any decent equivalent, he will still keep most of the goods here.
He needs to let them have it, needs to make them desire it, needs them to understand humans and other ethnic groups, needs to let them get out of this shrunken turtle shell, needs them to look directly at the coming doomsday.
Where do you start? Start with "trade", start with everyone getting rich together, start with charity-like door-to-door delivery.
"It shouldn't be a loss. After all, after so many years, there should be some good products."
However, even he underestimated the terrible benefits of cross-civilization trade
"A gold-level artifact, you can use it to exchange snacks with me. Wait, I'll think about how to make change."
