"Uncle Bede is laughing at me. It's too difficult to train such a wild beast." Gavin smiled helplessly at Bede.
"Amazing, amazing, already very amazing." Bede said with a thumbs up, "I have never seen such an obedient and smart half-ogre. Brother Gavin, where did you pick up such a treasure?
?”
Although Bede was talking to Gavin, his eyes were following the half-ogre. Even a fool could see that salivating look.
This is simply a natural caravan guard. Taking such a person on the road will not only greatly improve the safety factor, but also assist the carriage and carry goods at critical moments.
"Luckily, he delivered it to the door himself." Gavin said lightly, looking at Bede as if he didn't see it at all.
Bede felt itchy and couldn't help but said: "For the sake of our deep relationship, Uncle Bede has a small request..."
"Not for sale." Gavin directly interrupted Bede's next words.
"How do you know what I'm going to say?" Bede said in surprise.
"What you want to say is written on your face." Gavin said extremely seriously, "Other businesses are easy to talk about, but the people under my command, let alone kobolds, even if they are goblins, I will not sell them. If they are
If Uncle Bede wants to do business with me in the future, please don’t touch my bottom line.”
The experience of being a slave in his previous life made Gavin deeply hate the slave trade.
Not to mention that he wouldn't touch this business, he would kill every slave trader he saw and there would be absolutely no negotiation.
"Haha, just kidding, just kidding, how could Uncle Bede take away what Brother Gavin loves? No, it should be said to be talent. After all, Brother Gavin wants to take root in a dangerous place like Rockland, so he needs this kind of power.
Guard, haha..."
Bede once again showed his tactful side and made a haha, rounding up the somewhat awkward atmosphere. He took Gavin's arm and walked in, "Come on, it's not just me who's here this time. Except for a few important people."
The rest of the brothers who went to Sambia to ship goods have returned. It seems that Brother Gavin is very popular among us old friends, and they all think highly of you.
Facts have also proved that Brother Gavin is more capable than we thought. We brought a lot of good things this time. However, we did not have enough understanding of the development speed of Brother Gavin, and we were not fully prepared for some goods.
"
"Bede said this a bit out of touch. You guys coming here is your greatest trust in me, so I'm satisfied." Gavin said with a smile, "Besides, what we do is not a business, but a business deal."
If you are buying and selling for a long time, if you don’t bring enough this time, you can just bring enough next time.”
"Brother Gavin is still far-sighted. It's my lack of understanding. Blame me, blame me, blame me." Bede expressed heartfelt appreciation.
Gavin has a unique charm. As long as you chat with him for a few words, consciously or unconsciously, you will ignore his somewhat immature face.
People like Bede who did business with him felt more deeply.
Just when you think you are facing a stupid, naive, rookie, you will find out in the end that you are the stupid and naive person, and they can easily steal from an old businessman like you.
.
When you think that the other party is a naive little fox, when you turn around, you will find that they have already built a foundation that many people have spent half their lives unable to build. They simply don't take those trivial interests in their eyes. They take a broad view.
, is the longer-term future.
When you think of him as an old fox who has been practicing for many years, he is generous with money, but he is also like a newbie who keeps giving you benefits, which makes you feel a little embarrassed. When you wake up and think about it,
, people have already earned enough benefits from you.
But it makes people unable to get even the slightest bit angry, because they have clearly calculated your interests in their calculations.
For this kind of person, in addition to admiration, I still admire him.
It was precisely because they had figured this out that those sly businessmen took the risk of making an empty trip and gathered in Heijing.
They still want to take a gamble.
As a result, they won the bet.
In just two ten days, Gavin opened up the situation here. Not only did he own a large kobold tribe, but he also captured a powerful half-ogre barbarian.
Based on this alone, it is no longer important how much profit they make from this trip. What is important is that they have dug a new mine, a new mine that is worthy of their additional investment.
Bede and the others stayed in the Black Well tribe for three full days.
For two days, under the leadership of Gavin, we walked around the mountains surrounding the Black Well tribe.
Of course they are not traveling for sightseeing. The rocky areas are not remote, but they have nothing to do with beautiful scenery.
They were observing the terrain around the Black Well Tribe, assessing the value of the place and how much effort it was worth investing here.
As for the result, looking at their smiling faces blooming like chrysanthemums, you can understand it tacitly.
Just like they originally assessed Gavin - unlimited potential.
On the last day, we sat together and listened to Gavin’s ideas.
Just like last time, Gavin still didn't make too many promises, nor did he reveal all his plans. He only gave a rough introduction to the future development and expansion direction of the Black Well Tribe, and left the rest to the businessmen to figure out on their own.
.
When Bede and the others came, there were nearly thirty large trucks. When they left, they were empty. The large trucks were only one-third full, of which only half was the iron ore produced in the Black Well Mine.
, the remaining half is scrap metal collected from half-ogres and surrounding tribes.
But all the businessmen's faces are full of satisfaction and longing, giving people the feeling of making a lot of money.
The goods they brought back were barely enough to cover the cost of their trip, but they opened up a brand new business route. If they want to really make money, they have to wait until Gavin's kobold tribe develops to a certain extent.
Before this, it was an additional investment period. This was the price you had to pay if you wanted to make big money. These old businessmen knew this very well.
Investment without losing money is what all businessmen like to see most.
These merchants are both companions and competitors. They are all keeping their own calculations, thinking about what they will bring when they come next time, how much goods they will bring, how many promises they will exchange from Gavin, and which city they should go to this time.
Who should we sign supply and sales contracts with?
The arrival of Bede and his party gave Gavin the confidence.
This confidence is multifaceted.
On the one hand, it is the opening of sales channels.
The promise of Bede and his group of merchants is one thing, but their actual appearance is another.
If he mines a huge amount of ore, but not a single businessman comes to visit him, is it possible for him to carry the ore on his back and search for sales channels all over the world?
It's not impossible, but it consumes too much energy and time and will seriously slow down his expansion in rocky areas.
On the other hand, it is given by food.
Twenty-five of the thirty large trucks carried grain, although many of them were hairy, moldy old grain.
But for the black well kobolds who have just been out of the food and clothing line for a few days, some food is good. Who cares whether it is new food or old food?
Besides, Gavin doesn't know how to steam bread, steam buns, and stew vegetables and meat in one pot for them. There is not much difference in the taste between new and old grains.
With this food as a backing, Gavin's original relatively conservative expansion speed can be appropriately accelerated.
To be more precise, with all this food, Gavin didn't need to do anything. He just needed to pile it there and the kobolds would come to him on their own.
