Wang Hao's life has been very comfortable these past two days, especially after receiving the news today that the battle for resources in the South China Sea has temporarily ended, it made him let go of a big stone in his heart.
Although due to distance limitations, only more than a dozen countries in Asia participated in this war, this does not mean that large guilds in Europe and the United States turned a blind eye to this.
On the contrary, the struggle for interests has always been the main theme in the game, and they are also very interested in the outcome of this war.
To the surprise of many, the Russian fleet, which was generally optimistic by European and American countries, was kicked out of the competition first. This caused a large-scale earthquake in European commentators.
From a European point of view, although the Russian Navy can only be regarded as a second-rate European navy, it is far more powerful than the navies of the indigenous Southeast Asian and Asian countries.
The previous battle of 100,000 versus 10,000 also proved that their view was correct.
When the news came that the Russian expeditionary fleet was almost completely wiped out, many players in Europe showed disbelief. You must know that defeat and annihilation are almost two completely different concepts. It makes people lament the stupidity of those masterminds.
At the same time, the Russian Navy has also become the laughing stock of many players.
Of course, a group of military experts analyzed the reasons soon afterwards. The Russian fleet commander made a strategic mistake and was too superstitious about force. As a result, they could not find a friend locally, and ended up being enemies on all sides. This was their failure.
the main reason.
There are many other objective reasons. For example, the countries in Southeast Asia are despicable and shameless. They launched the human sea tactic and used dozens of times more warships than Russia. Countries such as China, Japan, and South Korea aided the evil, and sooner or later they would end up with the same fate as the Russian fleet, etc.
.
As a human being, you should not be too arrogant.
Wang Hao read the titles on those forums and couldn't help but smile. The fate of the Russian fleet was just a special case. If they hadn't been too strong, they wouldn't have made everyone feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.
Those local guilds themselves are not without conflicts. Once the biggest foreign enemy is gone, it will be too difficult for them to unite.
In the subsequent missions released by Freeport, due to the preparations of the Four Seas Guild, the harvest was naturally extremely generous. Although it did not reach the predetermined target of 1% of the shares, it was not far behind. It was regarded as a good reward for this trip to the South China Sea.
It came to a successful conclusion.
Monkey also explained some details of his contact with Qingfeng Mingyue to Wang Hao, especially when the results were finally announced. The Sihai Guild's points ranked first among many organizations, and the expression on Qingfeng Mingyue's face was very wonderful, which made Young Master Jie
They were greatly satisfied.
Expeditions of thousands of miles, defeating many powerful enemies, showing off their power in foreign lands, and traveling all over the world have entered the sight of many domestic players for the first time.
Wang Hao's words, "Internal fighting is nothing. A real man is one who dares to step onto the international stage to compete with other countries." Somehow it spread and was recognized by many passionate players. They were greatly encouraged. On this day
, tens of thousands of players rushed towards Quanzhou Port.
Seeing this action of the Four Seas Guild, it can be said that they have gained fame and fortune. Many of the guild bosses are beating their chests and regretting it. You must know that their strength is much stronger than that of the Four Seas Guild. It is only because of various concerns that they did not take action.
If they had known that those players in Southeast Asia were so useless, they would definitely have wanted to take advantage of it.
It is foreseeable that when the Four Seas Guild returns to China, it will surely set off a new round of expansion frenzy.
Some far-sighted guild leaders have sent people to Quanzhou to congratulate them. Regardless of future cooperation or hostility, it is not a bad thing to find out more about this guild.
Some people with a keen business sense smelled a lot of gold coins, and they could get ten times the profit by trafficking some specialties from China to Southeast Asian countries. They also sent people south to Quanzhou to negotiate and jointly form a business delegation.
matters.
After all, the Four Seas Guild is currently the only force in the country that has experience in large-scale expeditions. Even if they just share some information, they can avoid a lot of unnecessary losses.
In another time and space, China's first large-scale ocean-going trade fleet only started sailing three months after the launch of the game. In the end, only one tenth of the players reached their destination safely.
Now, this historical process is bound to be greatly advanced, and the country will also usher in an unprecedented development opportunity.
---
Apart from fighting and running businesses, Wang Hao's focus these days has been on making money.
If he remembers it correctly, in a few days the auction of the century will be held for the first time since the launch of the game. There will be many good things on display. If you don’t have enough money to prepare, you will just stare at it.
.
In fact, an auction of this level is not meant for ordinary players. The admission fee alone is 10 gold coins, which will exclude the vast majority of players.
Therefore, being able to participate in this auction event is also regarded as a status symbol by many players.
In order to raise enough money, Wang Hao not only sold all the resources he had hoarded, but also sold off a few pieces of land. For Baoli Company's recent business, he also asked customers to settle with game currency as much as possible.
Moreover, according to Litong Sifang, the game currency exchange market has gradually heated up recently, and the exchange ratio that was already gradually stable has increased significantly, which surprised the former and did not know what happened.
After learning this information, Wang Hao understood clearly. It seemed that this auction of the century was not a secret to those with strong backgrounds, so they would attract large amounts of money regardless of the cost.
"Brother, save more money. It will be of great use in a few days."
The little girl's clear voice rang in Wang Hao's ears, and he smiled bitterly. It seemed that this girl's identity could definitely belong to the top class of people.
"Yeah, I got it." He responded with a smile.
Chrissy was still debating whether to tell Wang Hao the whole thing. After all, the person who told her about it personally warned her not to leak it out. After all, inside information is so precious.
Because only a few people know about it, once word spreads, the impact will be too bad.
However, the little girl quickly made up her mind. Between the elder who could not remember his appearance and her brother, she decisively chose the latter. As long as Wang Hao asked, she would tell him about the auction of the century.
However, Wang Hao's reaction was too calm, which made Chris's hard-earned determination become entangled again.
Wang Hao had no time to guess the little girl's thoughts at this time. Combined with the words of Litong Sifang and Chris, he felt an unprecedented sense of urgency. Although the number of gold coins in his hand had exceeded three thousand, he still
I still feel it’s far from enough.
If he sells all the land he has saved, at the current price, he should be able to cash out nearly 10,000 gold coins, which is almost ten times the return on his original investment.
But how could Wang Hao do such a thing of killing the goose and laying the eggs? You must know that in a few months, the prices of these properties will increase exponentially. It would be a huge loss to sell them now.
The land cannot be sold.
He still has some ways to make money, but the cycle is a bit long and he can't deal with the rush. And among the people he knows, except for the little girl who is richer, most of them are poorer than him.
Thinking of a way to make money?
One idea after another popped up in Wang Hao's mind, but he quickly rejected it. These ideas all had flaws of one kind or another.
Money, money, money, he felt like he was going to be driven crazy.
That's how people are. When you get something, you crave more.
With Wang Hao's current financial resources, he is definitely a leader among ordinary players, but compared with those wealthy young men with profound backgrounds, he is obviously not on the same level.
"It seems that there is only one way."
A look of madness flashed across Wang Hao's eyes, and his lips twitched. "Let's call this plan the King's New Clothes."
This plan was not something he came up with out of thin air. It was the act of Alibaba, a genius criminal from another time and space, who made him famous.
As for why he remembered this incident, the reason must be attributed to Paley.
In fact, Alibaba is a professional who is proficient in makeup and deception. He first created a false identity and was a big businessman with many fixed assets.
Because his overseas territories were invaded by pirates, he needed a large amount of military supplies, but he did not have any extra gold coins. In order to exchange for these valuable supplies, he mortgaged many of his properties to arms merchants.
Everything seemed to be perfect. If the arms dealer hadn't later discovered that the industry certificates were false and sued Alibaba in court, this matter would not even have spread to Wanjia's ears.
At that time, Alibaba had already left other countries with military supplies.
What surprised Wanjia even more was that the game official did not punish the player named Alibaba. As for the local wanted order, in the eyes of other players, this was a manifestation of glory and attracted many people.
Few people followed suit.
However, after learning this lesson, there are very few success stories for players, but there are a number of regulars in the prison.
Wang Hao naturally didn't have the ability to do this, but who told him to accept a different kind of attendant?
From the skills and personality that Paili learned, he is simply a born fraudster, more qualified for this job than Alibaba.
But, how to tell this guy?
Thinking of some of Perry's daily performances, Wang Hao felt a little short of breath.
"Whether it works or not, you have to try it to know."
Wang Hao made up his mind and quickly found Perry.
"That's basically what happened. Do you want to do it or not?"
After briefly explaining the nature and difficulty of the matter, Wang Hao looked at Perry nervously.
Paley's eyes flickered, but his head shook like a rattle, and he said righteously, "This thing violates the laws of your country, I can't do it."
However, Wang Hao was not disappointed by this. If this guy did not dare to agree because he was timid and afraid of death, he somewhat believed that as for anything that violated the laws of your country, he was obviously trying to dodge it.
Damn, how many laws have you violated by enriching yourself in France? Are you pretending to be serious at this time?
Wang Hao then thought about it and guessed what the other party was thinking, "When the thing is done, you will get 30% of the profits and 70% of the profits will be made to me."
If it goes through, there should be a profit of tens of thousands of gold coins. If you give the other party 30%, there will be almost several thousand gold coins, which should be able to satisfy the other party's appetite!
"Why, I obviously contributed the most to this job. Why do I get so little? At least it's seven to me and three to you."
Paley jumped up immediately. He was talking about the risks he would take and the consequences he would accept. In serious cases, he would even be listed as an unwelcome person in all countries.
Wang Hao was not convinced. If it was as serious as what the other party said, it would be strange for the other party's character to accept it. However, this matter really couldn't be done without the other party, so he gave in half a step. "Four-six,
I am six and you are four. You must know that I came up with this idea, and I also provided some props. I have contributed more than you, so I should get the big share."
After hearing Wang Hao's words, Pelli did not immediately refute. There was obviously a look of struggle on his face. After thinking for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said: "50-50 split, and a contract must be made."
Wang Hao only hesitated for a moment before agreeing, but he had another concern. "It's not easy to make a contract with the system for what we want to do. If..."
But Pelli waved his hand and said: "It's okay, I know better than you in this regard." Exploiting loopholes in the rules is his old profession, and he is very familiar with the business. He knows very well what can and cannot be done.
However, he didn't expect that a player who looked upright and heroic could actually have such a vulgar side. It really surprised him.
With a "ding" sound, Wang Hao received the latest prompt from the system, congratulating his attendant's loyalty for the first time to reach 75. He was a little dumbfounded by this. He didn't expect that just planning to do a bad thing with the other party could actually increase the other party's loyalty.
Spend.
All I can say is that this attendant is really top-notch.
After the conditions are negotiated, the next step is to prepare for action.
Wang Hao was not joking when he said that he provided props. In order to make this operation go smoothly, he made a heavy bet.
He equipped Pelli with a total of three things. One was a mask exchanged from a black market merchant, which had the effect of changing his appearance, changing his name and appearance.
The second item is a few real real estate certificates. The name of the head of the household has been changed to Paley. With the latter's ability and these real documents, the chance of being exposed will be smaller.
The third item is 50 gold coins of working capital. If you want to deceive the arms dealer, you must wear expensive outfits.
In this regard, Paley, as a French nobleman, has a natural advantage.
When Pelli appeared in front of Wang Hao in gorgeous clothes, Wang Hao almost had a feeling of disbelief. In addition to being slightly fatter, he exuded an authentic aristocratic atmosphere when he raised his hands and feet, which made Wang Hao greatly
Open your eyes.
The two then reviewed the script again, and after confirming that there were no omissions, the action officially began.
In this operation, all Wang Hao could provide was behind-the-scenes technical support. The real key lay in Pelley's on-the-spot performance.
Thinking of the fat man's past performance, he couldn't help but feel a bit of worry in his heart, but he could only suppress it.
Timid on the spot?
Is Lord Paley this kind of thing? You know, I was the man who once stole the most beloved teapot of the King of France.
Thinking of the king's achievements, Pelli's heart suddenly filled with pride. The moment he stepped into the door of the arms dealer, a sad look quickly appeared on his face.
He looked worried as his territory was invaded.
"What? You said that you are the lord of the Jackfruit Country and you want to buy some weapons to defend your territory. You can. As long as you have gold coins, you will have all these things."
A sharp-eyed middle-aged man glanced at the visitor's manners and outdated clothes, and concluded that he was just a rich man from a rural country. Such people have limited purchasing power and have lost enthusiasm in their hearts.
"Because my territory is still besieged by pirates, I can't transport gold coins, but I can use other assets as collateral."
Pelli showed a large stack of asset certificates in his hand. Except for the two or three at the top, all the others were forged by him. With his ability to commit fraud, as long as he didn't take it to the notary office of the Governor's Mansion for verification, most people would
There is absolutely no fault to be found.
"No money!" The arms dealer's tone suddenly increased, and the false smile on his face disappeared. "No money, what are you doing here?"
He is really a country bumpkin. He wants to buy arms with some proof of assets. It is really ridiculous.
Seeing the other party's reaction, Pelli couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart. This was not what was written in the script, but the arms dealer obviously didn't want to talk nonsense to him, so he just ordered people to see him off.
Even though Paley was very eloquent, he was completely useless at this time.
He walked out a little dejectedly. A man dressed as an officer walked past him. He didn't pay attention. He just thought about how to explain this matter to Wang Hao when he went back.
"What? Her Majesty the Queen ordered the mobilization of the Seventh Fleet to assemble in the Xishan Sea and asked me to collect intelligence on the sea area as soon as possible."
The arms dealer looked at the man in front of him in astonishment, and then he couldn't help but remember that the country bumpkin just now seemed to be from the Xishan Islands. Thinking of this, he immediately asked someone to invite the country bumpkin back.
It seems that Wang Hao is lucky. The identity origins compiled by Alibaba in another time and space are very particular and are not made up casually. Wang Hao does not know these and just wants to save trouble, so he puts Alibaba's identity into it.
I picked up the rhetoric and used it, and I accidentally hit it right.
This is also the reason why later players who wanted to repeat Alibaba's deeds repeatedly hit the wall. Details determine everything. Only by knowing what the other party needs can we make targeted arrangements.
Pelli followed the people in front and walked in with some doubts. Soon he saw the arms dealer's enthusiastic smile. Although he didn't know where the other party's change came from, he knew that his opportunity had come, and the butcher's knife in his heart
It was already grinding and making a loud noise.
After waiting for more than an hour, Wang Hao finally saw Perry walking out with a smile on his face, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
The big deal has been decided.
PS: How should I put it? Now that the story has been written, I am also a little confused as to how to proceed next. If you have any opinions, you can go to the book review area or tell me in the Q group. I will try my best to satisfy everyone's opinions.
