Streamwilder Hotsand was a little too enthusiastic, acting like he was meeting an old friend he hadn't seen for many years, opening his arms as if he wanted to come over and hug Tonatiu.
"Damn it! My friend, you are too tall. I can't even hug you! I have to forget it, come...please come in! Why don't you notify me in advance when you come to my place? I
There will be a grand party to welcome you, my friend! I am so happy! Haha, today is such a good day, the desert wind has brought you here, I think..."
Tonatiu smiled calmly, listening to the goblin merchant's polite words of not asking for money.
Morning.
He had just woken up and was going to go to the tavern below with Modera to eat some Gadgetzan delicacies.
Last night, Anakin, the troll's faceless bartender, suggested several famous Gadgetzan delicacies to him, such as salt-baked vulture wings, lion meat skewers and grilled squid.
Especially the Mobius giant squid on the southeastern coast of the Endless Sea. After being caught by fishermen in Hotsand Port, they were sent to Gadgetzan alive and grilled with some salt to make an extremely delicious snack.
Highly recommended by Anakin.
As it turned out, before we even ordered the food, the goblin supervisor's temporary tour guide came to the door in a hurry yesterday, claiming that the owner of Gadgetzan invited us.
Tonatiu and Modera were invited to the house of Streamwilder Hotsand without having lunch.
What?
You mean breakfast?
A couple in love is staying in a hotel. Do you want to get up and have breakfast?
Modera kept her figure hidden in her cloak as always outside, and her face and figure could not be seen clearly.
Tonatiu is talking to Streamwilder Steamwheedle.
Actually he came to Gadgetzan.
The main reason is to negotiate with this big goblin businessman, and to visit Gadgetzan to see the city of Azeroth.
"My friend, you are so enthusiastic." Tonatiu followed the tone of the hobgoblin and said with a smile: "There is no need to go to a party. Just prepare some food for us, such as grilled squid and night scale fish soup.
Something like that. Living in a primeval forest, I rarely have the opportunity to taste seafood!"
Streamwilder Hotsand smiled warmly and said repeatedly: "That's no problem! My friend! But it's still early for lunch, can we talk about something else? For example, you came to Gadgetzan
Purpose?"
It is late.
I want to eat, okay?
It's obvious this guy doesn't want to treat me to dinner...
The Chinese souls who are accustomed to discussing business at the dinner table made Tonatiu feel that this hobgoblin might want to save a meal.
Tonatiu said seriously: "This is exactly the purpose of my trip."
"It's been a month, and I haven't seen my goblin friends go to my city again. Goblins say time is money, and you haven't come here for so long. It's a waste of time, and it's a waste of our mutual money!"
"My friend, may I know what is going on? Is it because our goods are not good enough to attract buyers?"
"No, no, no..."
Streamwilder Hotsand waved his hands repeatedly. This big goblin businessman didn't look like an archmage at all. He said very realistically:
"Of course we want to do business with Zu-Zutona, right? We want to do business with your city. But do you know how difficult it is to run from Gadgetzan to Un'Goro Crater? You have to cross a large desert and a primitive tropical rain forest.
, it would be okay if it was just a few manpower. But if you want to transport goods on a large scale, the cost of freight is very high!"
"This is indeed a problem."
"My friend, do you have any solution?"
Tonatiu asked with a smile.
"Throw money!"
Streamwilder Hotsand suddenly waved his hand grandly, looking very grand, "It takes a lot of money to settle the matter! We can hire adventurers to deliver the goods, or we can use a better team to deliver the goods. If the money gives
There are enough, I think the dragon is also willing to help us."
"This is a good idea. Time is money. As the saying goes, if you have money, you can let the God of Death come to help us!"
Tonatiu became calm.
"But who will pay for this extra money? The trolls have no money. We only have goods, Gadgetzan and your scarcest goods."
"This is our biggest problem!" said Streamwilder Hotsand. "My friend, I can't do business at a loss. If you lower the price of the goods by half, then I can afford the high freight.
I can’t afford it. It’s very difficult for me too!”
hehe……
I believe you are the only one who has ghosts.
Tonatiu finally saw the greed of goblin merchants.
Unexpectedly, a month ago I was told that this product in Zutona was very good, that it would solve the transportation problem, and that it would come to our door immediately to officially start large-scale trade with Zutona.
In order to threaten him, he even revealed the other goblin bosses. He also reported the name of the goblin venture capital company that should have appeared now, to show that he did not have to cooperate with Gadgetzan.
Streamwilder Steamwand was also very happy at that time, saying that trade would begin immediately, and that the relationship between Gadgetzan and Zutona would be very good, and so on.
As a result, more than a month has passed.
The goblin showed no sign at all, so Tonatiu came over to take a look.
As a result, this guy immediately raised the issue of shipping costs and asked Zutona to be responsible for the cost.
It is true that Zutona is located in Un'Goro Crater, a tropical rainforest with complex terrain, and is deep inland. To reach Gadgetzan, you have to pass through a large desert with an even harsher environment.
It is very inconvenient to transport goods. This is a real and objective problem.
But Tonatiu was very sincere. Combining the prices in Lordaeron mentioned by Modera and the prices in Gadgetzan that the trolls themselves had discovered, the prices of the goods given to the goblins were based on the prices in Gadgetzan and Lordaeron, allowing the goblins to
You can earn at least 10 times more profit.
Unexpectedly, this guy is still not satisfied. Seeing this, he wants to earn half more, and the profit will be at least twenty times greater than outside.
Sure enough, the goblin race, even if it is very successful in the future and can become the boss of the Steamwheedle Group, a multinational company in Azeroth, is still greedy.
No, exactly.
It should be said that it is precisely because of this greed that far exceeds that of ordinary goblins that Streamwilder Hotsand can achieve such great success in the future.
In fact, if the price is really reduced to the standard mentioned by Streamwilder Hotsand, Zutona will actually make a profit.
Those goods that are scarce and sought after by the outside world, such as Devilsaur skins, various rare herbs, enchanted weapons, etc., are too much for Zutona to produce and consume, and Zutona cannot use them all by himself.
Capitalists all know that they need to exchange the remaining output value for circulating currency or more means of production.
Such a transaction.
Zutona also makes money, and can speed up Zutona's own development through trade.
But Tonatiu was unhappy.
Is this guy with a cunning smile treating Zutona and himself as fat sheep to be slaughtered?
Now you can reduce the price by half.
This means that prices may continue to be lowered in the future. The goblins who control channel pricing should not be too easy if they want to suppress suppliers' shipping prices.
Especially when there is only one supplier, this kind of thing will be simpler.
Tonatiu began to consider whether to change his trading partner.
