Planck is serious about this issue of Ionia trade.
Although he rejected Camille's previous solicitation and did not intend to intervene in the Ionian trade, he did not listen at all to what Camille said to him.
At least, Plank really listened to the prospects and benefits of Ionia trade, as well as the impact on Bilgewater.
Although he was unwilling to change his job to a logistics security captain, Plank, after careful consideration, agreed with this part of Camille's argument.
That is to say, Ionia trade has endless potential. Once Ionia's foreign trade begins, Bilgewater will become a transit point for this trade due to its unique geographical location, and will reap great benefits.
After much thought, Planck thought there was nothing wrong with this part.
The only problem is that he can't let go of his identity as a pirate to participate in trade - Gangplank knows better than anyone else that there are rules when doing trade. If the old sea dog is caught in the rules, he will become a watchdog!
Gangplank just doesn't want to be a guard dog for the Ionians or Lady Piltover!
Therefore, he would reject Camille's suggestion without hesitation. Even if he had a large fleet, he would never participate in trade.
So, here comes the problem.
When Gangplank is unwilling to be a dog, but is eager for other benefits brought by Ionia trade, how can he make money while standing still?
After much thought, Planck came up with a very good idea - subcontracting!
Wouldn't it be better to find someone who is willing to do the trade and pump the water and collect the ship's mark in Bilgewater yourself?
Therefore, before Lux even came to Bilgewater, Gangplank was already looking for an old sea dog who could be kicked out to serve as a watchdog for Ionia and Piltover.
From Gangplank's point of view, the Iron Hook Gang under his command has to stay put. The other gangs are quite impressive forces. He only needs to pick one and send out the mission!
The Crow and the Crow Gang under his command are a group of people that Planck is more interested in.
Crow is a cruel and ruthless person, and in Lux's opinion, he is a pure beast - but in Gangplank's eyes, this guy is somewhat "self-like", so he has always been very optimistic about Crow.
Then, just when Plank put Crow into the finals list first, and before he could find anyone else to compare, Crow was killed.
To be honest, when he received the news that the crow had been killed, Plank was really a little angry - not angry that someone had killed the crow, but angry that the crow was such a waste?
In fact, after Lux killed Crow, many of Crow's subordinates escaped, and later planned to surprise her.
Then, they turned around and were picked up by the Iron Hook Gang...
After Gangplank cleaned up the garbage, he quickly focused on Lux, the person who killed the crow.
As a result, he was surprised to find that this shadow lady... was quite interesting.
How long has it been since Bilgewater saw a "mission master" like this who accepts bounties only based on price?
After understanding the whole story of Lux's appearance in Bilgewater, Gangplank really thought that this was Irelia. As for why he came to Bilgewater to collect the bounty, he probably wanted to make money to buy it.
Boat?
I heard that the Ionians don't have a navy. Even if they win a great victory at Tall Bay, the Noxians still have the maritime advantage. If the Ionians have the money to buy a few ships and hire a group of old sea dogs, then the Noxians will be able to defeat them.
This person is completely made a dumpling!
When he heard that Miss Shadow had found him, Gangplank thought that Irelia was very discerning and planned to hire him to steal the Noxian's retreat!
As a result, Irelia didn't see it, but she saw someone she had never heard of, a cunning light spellcaster disguised as a shadow assassin.
In Gangplank's view, Lux is obviously a cunning and insidious guy, and from the fact that she readily accepted the offer of five hundred silver snake coins, it can be seen that she should be eager to start some trade.
Realizing this, Gangplank simply threw out the plan he had been contemplating before and asked Lux if she was willing to lead a team to conduct Ionian trade.
"The price of the ship's mark is easy to talk about." Plank put on a generous look, "If the principal is not enough, I also run a loan business. A one-cent loan is a charity price in Bilgewater!"
……………………
Lux lowered her head and held back her smile for a long time.
She really didn't expect that Ionia trade could be subcontracted at different levels?
You know, no matter what Camille told Gangplank, in fact, Piltover has no Ionian trade route at all, and needs to go through Zaun.
Gangplank, on the other hand, took Camille and told him that he had transferred a trade from Zaun, and then tricked himself into participating, extracting more water, and selling a ship's mark...
However, after Kalya's reminder, Lux soon stopped laughing.
"This is already telling. The prospects for Ionia's trade are beyond your imagination - and there are many smart people eyeing it."
"Can the Noxians still have a stake in it?" Lux was stunned for a moment, "In this trade, only Bilgewater and the Twin Cities have the best plans, right?"
"Why can't the Noxians?" Kalya asked, "Don't forget, although the Ionians won, the Noxians have not been driven out yet - as long as they occupy the First Born Land.
A corner of the earth, the trade gap is open!"
"..."
Hearing what Kalya said, Lux finally became serious, she blinked, and then finally raised her head.
"Mr. Plank, I am very interested in the Ionian trade you mentioned - maybe the Ionians can give me a bigger surprise than the Baru people who don't like to consume." According to the previous preparations.
Lux began to use her words freely, "But I don't have the capital or qualifications to buy and sell supplies from Ionia under the Noxian blockade."
"Are Noxians nothing?" After hearing what Lux said, Gangplank curled his lips in disdain, then stood up and pointed to a ship parked on the dock, "Did you see that? Leviathan
No., what a nice name, it’s that Swain’s flagship in Noxus, and it’s mine now!”
Lux showed a shocked expression at the right time.
"In this sea, with me protecting you, Noxians dare to show their teeth and go see the snake mother right there!" Gangplank slapped his chest loudly, "What do you think, think about it? Bilgewater
There are many old sea dogs with missing arms and legs, you can try to build a boat first!"
