Chapter 210 Business Negotiations of the Three-Party Forces
When Lekchiz saw that the person negotiating with him was Jikniku, as well as a few kobolds, harpy spellcasters and two tauren who seemed to be just making up the numbers, he knew that this time the negotiation would not be successful.
What results.
Sure enough, Jikniku first rejected Lekchiz's request. This time Lekchiz brought 50,000 gold coins, hoping that Prell could release some of the prisoners first, but Jikniku had already received Preel's instructions.
, firmly demanded that all the ransom be paid before releasing the person.
Even when Lekchiz said that he could not hand over 50,000 gold coins, Zikniku showed an indifferent attitude, and Lekchiz had nothing to do about it.
Although he followed Gernar Fadlan to the shore from Azshara, he still sent a messenger to contact the Silt Swamp on the way, but the messenger quickly caught up with them and told them what happened in the Silt Swamp.
:The place is being besieged by quilboars, and there is also a group of harpies harassing nearby.
Lekchiz was very anxious. He roughly guessed Prell's intention, which was that he was unwilling to release this group of prisoners early to prevent them from going to support the swamp.
Prell was not at all anxious about the negotiation. Although the prisoners had to be guarded and fed, they were also working and using their own strength to contribute to the construction of Thresh Kingdom for free. In short,
He felt that he did not suffer at all.
In the end, at Jikniku's insistence, Rekchiz had no choice but to take his men with him, take away the 50,000 gold coins, and leave helplessly.
Prell continued to arrange and supervise various tasks in the Gale Valley. He also sent a special envoy to Stonehoof Valley to request that the weapon production there be temporarily suspended and make a batch of weapons for the tauren of Mulgore.
Tools used to build Thunder Bluff.
After all, the smelting and forging grounds in Stonehoof Valley and Black Wolf Town both have shares owned by the tauren. It can be said that they are a common industry between the Thresh Kingdom and the tauren.
Less than 10 days later, outside the Storm Mine, at the Storm Castle, which was still under construction, Prell met an old acquaintance escorted by patrolling soldiers: the goblin Gazrouin.
Gazrouin did not have any support within the venture capital company. He had won the mineral exploration and mining rights in the Windy Valley entirely on his own. However, he was forcefully "robbed" by the jealous company executives and used pumice stones.
The operating rights of the mine were replaced by the operating rights of the Gale Wind Mine.
Then, at Gresu's suggestion, he forcibly acquired Gazruin's equity in the two mines, intending to completely exclude him.
If Gazruin had not been a goblin himself and had a certain reputation among goblin businessmen, the venture capital company would never have treated him with such a "lenient" attitude.
It was impossible for Gazruin not to be angry after losing the operating rights and dividend rights of the two mines, but he still had to come to the pumice mine to take over the work, take away his employees, or deal with other leftovers.
affairs.
Unfortunately, not long after he arrived at the pumice mine, he was attacked by wild boars, so Lugwitz quickly stopped him and his employees, hoping to help the sludge swamp for the sake of their cooperation in the past.
Gazruin was a kind-hearted goblin, so he stayed. However, Lekchiz did not return to the company headquarters immediately. Instead, he led his men to bypass the sparse defense line of the Witchwing Clan Harpies and rushed in.
Silt swamp.
After discussing with Lugwitz, the two goblins shamelessly approached Gazruin again, hoping to use the friendship that Gazruin had established with the kobolds to put in a good word for them.
Gazruin temporarily relented and agreed to the matter, so he and his guards rushed into the Ashen Valley under the escort of the soldiers sent by Lugwitz.
Prell looked at Gazruin. He didn't hate this goblin. In fact, this goblin businessman was already considered an outlier in Azeroth's business community. When Gazruin explained his purpose, Prell smiled:
"Mr. Gazrouin, I have always respected you. But you should not come to swim in this muddy water. It is very unsafe outside, so you and your men will stay here. Wait until everything is over before you leave!"
"
Kapellan, who was accompanying him, was anxious. He thought that Prell wanted to put Gazrouin and his party under house arrest as a "meat ticket" for ransom. Preyer laughed: "I always act clearly, Gazrouin."
Because Mr. Thresh is a guest of the Kingdom of Thresh, we will not embarrass him and his men. So please rest assured!"
So Gazruin, who had no time to say more, was respectfully escorted down by a group of kobold soldiers and went to Black Wolf Town to rest. In fact, he was also placed under house arrest.
Prell was not in a hurry about the ransom because he seized a large amount of supplies by occupying the Gale Valley, which was enough to consume the Kingdom of Thresh for a while.
Nowadays, the Thresh Kingdom and the tauren, as well as the surrounding wild boar people, harpies, etc., trade with each other more in primitive barter. The circulation and use of currency are not widespread, so he has no shortage of gold coins.
And in fact, the Kingdom of Thresh has a variety of needs for supplies, and there are too many gaps. Unless the Prell Lion asks for a ransom of 3 million, these gaps will not be filled in a short time.
Now Prell is considering how to expand trade with forces other than goblins, or trade with forces other than venture capital companies, in order to obtain more sources of materials.
The good news is that Binznaku and Kapellan have returned from Astrana in Ashenvale, and Jikniku also rushed over from Rolling Rock Castle a few days earlier.
With Ordanus in the middle, and the tauren druids also expressed their willingness to seek cooperation to the night elves' top leaders through the Cenarion Council, Prell also received a reply. After a while, Cenarion
The archdruid of the Council and one of the current leaders of the night elves, Fandral Staghelm will come to the Stonetalon Mountains.
The reason why Fandral Staghelm is so enthusiastic is because some news about the Kingdom of Lordaeron has reached the night elves.
It is said that Prince Arthas of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, together with the mages of the Magic City of Dalaran, has killed Kel'Thuzad, the leader of the Cult of the Damned and the former Archmage of Dalaran, and found them in Stratholme City.
Traces of the devil.
Behind the undead plague, demons appeared, which had to make the night elves be wary. They have never forgotten that the invasion of the Burning Legion 10,000 years ago led to the division and decline of the elven race.
Regarding what happened on another continent, Prell was a little eager to try at first, but soon he didn't care at all. Compared with the distant undead natural disasters, the things in front of him were more important.
Therefore, while quietly waiting for the venture capital company's reply and the arrival of Fandral Staghelm, Prell was still busy every day. He had to continue to train new recruits, arrange work, and go to Black Wolf Town to continue making explosives when he had time.
and grenades, and can also forge some weapons.
In addition, he had to support Solbinger in building a cement field on the west side of Cliff Lake, and deploy manpower to assist the druids sent by the tauren to reclaim wasteland and try planting. In short, he was busy and cumbersome with the tasks.
No time for him to care.
Fandral Staghelm finally arrived from Mount Hyjal in late March, and Cairn Bloodhoof also hurried from Mulgore, and the three parties formally met for the first time in Stormwind Keep.
Storm Castle is still a large construction site, with the former goblins' office area as the center. Under Prell's order, the kobolds smashed the gravel accumulated in the scrap yard and spread it as a roadbed. One of them only applied a layer of
A small pool was built in the small cement square according to the drawings provided by Pandaren Lao Chen.
In short, according to the critical eyes of the night elves, Stormwind Castle is extremely crude. But Prell is already very satisfied. He doesn't like any honorable work, and the current Stormwind Castle is only a prototype and will continue to develop and build in the future.
Become what he thinks you are.
Fandral Staghelm is a tall night elf male with long green hair and a serious expression, as if someone always owes him money.
Hearing the accompanying elves commenting softly on the architecture of Stormwind Keep, their voices full of the night elves' unique sense of superiority and disdain, Fandral Staghelm glanced back, and the crowd fell silent.
He looked up at the former Gresu's office building, which is now Prell's office. The flag representing the Kingdom of Thresh was flying on the roof, and he bent slightly: "Salute to you, Kobold Chief Prell!"
"
Prell is no longer too lazy to correct these racial individuals who like to add "kobold" to his name. Since the founding of the Kingdom of Thresh, there have been not only kobolds, but now there are also harpies, jackals and human beings.
Some ogres, but it seems that everyone who came to see him tacitly accepted that the Kingdom of Thresh belonged to the kobolds.
"Nice to meet you, my dear Archdruid!" Prell responded in pure Darnassian. In fact, the name "Darnassus" did not exist yet, because the night elves still lived there at this time.
In Mount Hyjal, the world tree Nordrassil has not yet been destroyed, and Teldrassil does not yet exist.
In other words, the racial language of the night elves has not yet been determined to be "Darsusian", but Prell's own system defaults to the fact that the night elves use "Darsusian". This may be a small
BUG, Prell didn't bother to pay attention to it.
Fandral Staghelm was slightly surprised. He spoke goblin language and mastered the languages of various races. For the immortal race, this was not even something worth boasting about.
He said with admiration: "Just like the rumors, you are indeed a learned chief!" He glanced around one by one and saw Rexxar, Belga, and Lestalen standing behind Prell.
, high elf sorceress Braelyn Fire
Fist, as well as the summoned Pandaren Lao Chen, Ninel Gogo, Mountain Giant Koruzik, and the wild boar Amedeo, the gnoll Hayaheim, the ogre Korduk and the others.
A harpy mage was stunned for a moment.
With so many racial representatives standing respectfully behind the short Prell, he directly saw Prell's influence for the first time.
Tamra and other tauren who worked in the kingdom did not stand behind Prell, but followed Cairn Bloodhoof and Hamuul Runetotem. The one left behind in Mulgore was Magatha.
.Grighttotem.
"Please come in!" As the host, Prell stepped aside and invited everyone to sit in the office.
Just like the Rolling Rock Castle, Prell also renovated the office left by the goblin. The first floor is a huge living room, and it is semi-open, so that giants like Koluzik can
In the open garden with trellises and many climbing plants, I talked with others.
A group of harpy maids served fruit plates and drinks. Seeing everyone sitting there pick up their cups and take a sip, they all showed expressions of satisfaction. Prell said: "This is a piece of fruit collected by the jackal women in the forest."
It is grown from berries and brewed according to the craftsmanship of Elwynn Forest. The gnolls call it 'Mojito', which means 'sweet juice'. Doesn't it suit your taste?"
Hearing that it was brewed by gnolls, many of the accompanying night elves frowned slightly and wanted to put down their cups, but they hesitated as they thought it was a diplomatic occasion.
Hayaheim was originally very proud, but when he saw the performance and actions of those night elves, his expression suddenly changed.
Fandral Staghelm took another sip from the cup and said with admiration: "I like this drink very much, and I think my people will also like it. Chief Prell, if
Maybe, I hope to sign a trade with you, what do you think about 'Mojito'?"
He still spoke Goblin language, and Hayaheim suddenly smiled. Being able to make money with his craftsmanship was also the contribution of the Jackals to the great Holy Light Chief.
In any case, Fandral Staghelm made a good start for the upcoming trade negotiations.
