Chapter 202 [Hot Sand Companies and Venture Capital Companies]
The Kaldorei travel at night and by day.
When night falls, they are often the most active.
It's past noon.
Even though most Kaldorei are extraordinary creatures, they still choose to hide in the shade of trees, hide in tree holes, or hide in tree houses to rest.
To put it simply, the Kaldorei actually love to sleep.
This is the result of their acceptance of the harmonious Elune teachings and the Druid teachings of being close to nature.
Ordinary Kaldorei don't think about sleeping except when they are working. Under normal circumstances, they sleep when they can, since they have an almost eternal lifespan anyway.
Not to mention the best among them, the druids, every one of them sleeps as if they were hibernating.
therefore.
The sun is highest, most centered, and hottest during the day in Tanaris.
The kaldorei in Modrasin's camp all hid in the shade of the lushest trees and rested quietly.
In fact, in most cases, the noon and first half of the afternoon on Tanaris are not suitable for normal biological work.
The climate is too hot.
The strong sunlight seems to be scorching everything on the ground. Unless they have to, few people are willing to move in the desert under the sun.
Even an oasis in the desert is the same.
In the camp.
Although most of the trolls did not hide and sleep like the Kaldorei, they also hid in the shades of the trees and did some work suitable for doing in the shades.
For example, discussing business with goblins.
It's talking about the negotiations between Tonatiu and the chairman of Hotsand Company and Streamwilder Hotsand.
In the shade of the trees closest to the newly born Sun Moon Well, Tonatiu and the goblin were sitting on the green grass in the forest.
In front of them lay the fruit wine produced in the jungle of Un'Goro, which was brewed by the trolls from high-quality crater fruits.
The skinny goblin businessman tasted the red fruit wine with an intoxicated expression on his face, "Your Majesty, I can guarantee that if this kind of wine can be transported to the eastern continent and sent to human cities. Those nobles among humans will...
I am absolutely willing to use gold coins with the highest gold content to buy such good things!"
Tonatiu smiled and took a sip of the fruit wine. The taste of the wine was sour and sweet, and the aftertaste was mellow and intoxicating.
"It's too far. And we don't have enough of this kind of wine ourselves. Let's wait until the day we can mass-produce it before we consider the issue of wine trade," he said.
"Oh! That's such a pity." The goblin merchant's swollen eyes narrowed, looking a bit like almonds.
Legend has it that the gold almond gold coins issued by Andermei on Kezan Island were forged based on the outline of the goblins' eyes after seeing the gold coins.
"My dear friend."
At noon, Noggenfogg and his men spent the whole night verifying the 100 goblin technicians kidnapped by Streamwilder Hotsand.
Most of the 100 goblin technicians are real engineers. Streamwilder Hotsand did not mix some goblin rogues, goblin gangsters and the like into them to make up the numbers.
Noggenfogg even assured Tonatiu that with the help of these 100 goblin technicians, the engineering and technical strength of the desert trolls could definitely be raised to a dozen levels.
The only thing that made Noglfogg hesitate was that among the 100 goblin technicians sent by Hotsand Company, at least fifty were from a goblin business organization called "Venture Capital Company".
The venture capital company?
That famous one of the most harmonious forces in Azeroth, Goblin Ventures?
If they were technicians from this company, Tonatiu felt that there was absolutely no need to doubt their technical strength.
This made Tonatiu, who was already in a good mood because of Riyuejing, feel even better.
In the afternoon, he met with Strymwilder Steamwheedle, who had been waiting all night, and discussed with him the plan for Steamwheedle Company to acquire a stake in Zutiu and jointly build Azeroth's first permanent neutral commercial city.
After the simple greetings and gossip, Tonatiu got straight to the point and asked directly:
"What can Hotsand Company and Gadgetzan do for Zutiu?"
This is the straight to the point negotiation of terms.
Streamwilder Hot Sand's almond-shaped pupils shrank, and he answered almost without thinking:
"Everything! Whatever you want us to provide, we will provide it! From manpower, to construction materials, to the slaves you need, to the goods you need!"
The goblin answered very decisively.
Obviously, he is very confident that Zutiu can stand in the desert and rise on the coast.
This kind of confidence is what Tonatiu likes. Last time we gathered several big businessmen from Azeroth, the result of the negotiation was not very good.
Although the trolls are not unable to build Zutiu themselves and build a troll city by the sea.
But if you want to become a trading port, a free port, and the first commercial city in Azeroth, relying solely on the trolls themselves will take anywhere from decades to hundreds of years.
The quickest way is to unite with the big merchants in Azeroth, and everyone can join forces to make the flames brighter.
If goblins, human chambers of commerce, troll chambers of commerce, and chambers of commerce of other races all join in, Zutiu can be established within a dozen years.
Goblins play a very important role in his plan. Streamwilder Steamwheedle from Steamwheedle Company is a relatively disciplined group of goblins, and Tonatiu is more willing to cooperate.
object.
Can't completely trust goblins.
But you can’t completely distrust goblins in business.
Tonatiu took a breath and said something that made Streamwilder Hotsand very excited.
"Congratulations. Your Excellency, Hotwheeze, Hotwheedle Company will become one of the largest commercial forces in Azeroth in the future! Your name will be on Zutiu's five future permanent directors."
He just finished speaking.
The goblin jumped up excitedly.
"Oh my God! Your Majesty, this is the nicest thing I have heard in the past two months. Please rest assured that Hotsand Company will be a good friend of the troll!"
"Hmm~"
Tonatiu smiled.
…………
…………
Tonatiu was talking to Streamwilder Hotsand.
The home of the goblins.
Kozan Island.
The current largest commercial city in Azeroth is Undermine.
Silver Street.
This place is owned by a venture capital company that has recently become "famous" in goblin society.
None of the goblins who don't belong to venture capital companies are willing to walk in here.
Because of the way venture capital companies do things, even in the "free and open" Undermine, they will be disliked by some goblins.
They are too free.
now.
The president of the venture capital company, the young and outstanding Razdunk, is driving an outstanding steam mecha.
This large steam mecha looks vaguely dangerous from the outside.
Its mithril structure produces a high-pitched sound rather than a pleasant sound.
A long mithril woodcutter with arms as wide as a human head replaced its left arm.
Its right hand is a giant curved claw fist, and its arm is equipped with an iron nozzle with holes that can spray like a faucet.
But what was sprayed was not water, but hot flames.
The back of this mecha is equipped with two small arms like spider legs.
The end of one is a pair of sharp scissors, and the end of the other is a wheel that makes noise when it rotates.
Through the small rectangular window in front of the mecha, you can see that the pilot is a grinning goblin.
The goblin controls a dazzling array of levers, buttons and chains.
This is Razdunk, the owner of a venture capital company, a young man whose business ideas are free in Under Armor.
Like Hotsand Company's airship technology, Razdunk's steam mecha technology is a legend on Kezan Island.
That is an extremely high engineering achievement, which can use some of the most common materials to create a robot with excellent combat effectiveness.
Relying on this technology, Razdunk established a venture capital company.
He likes to use this steam mecha to intimidate and threaten his business opponents into submission rather than attacking them.
When forced to take action, Razdenk will begin using his Ultra-Tech Link ability, imbuing his Long Rifle with a Frost Nova to open a small hatch on the side of the mech to extend the weapon.
And... well... launch it.
Thereafter, he will take great interest in using the mecha's weapons, rifles, dragon mouths, steam fists and cutting to let his enemies know what force is.
Razdunk, he drove his latest model of steam mecha, Make-13, and ran rampant on his territory for a while.
After verifying its performance, he came down from it with satisfaction, clapped his hands and said to several engineering assistants who gathered around him:
"The Mithril architecture is substandard! Their quality is too poor and not worth the price! Remember to drive it to bargain with the supplier. If they don't lower the price, let them look at the mecha using their accessories.
How’s the performance?!”
"Ruzik Gallywix's explosives don't work either. How much black powder did the old guy mix into it?! What I want is high explosives, high explosives! Go and tell the old guy and his son that you don't want to be
If it blows up to the sky, then the price of supply to us must be reduced by 90% from the current basis!"
"And the Malti Group... um... okay! We can't afford to offend this old guy for the time being, so we can continue to buy wood from him for the time being."
"..."
After giving some instructions.
According to Razdunk, almost none of the outsourced accessories for the steam mecha Make-13 is up to standard.
But he just doesn't change the parts. He just asks the suppliers to be cheap. If they are not cheap, they must improve the quality.
If you don't do it.
Hehe! What is make-No. 13 made for? There are numbers 1 to 12 in front of it. Venture capital companies have dozens of steam mechas of each model!
Bargaining with steam mechas is the business method of venture capital companies, and it is also Razdunk's business philosophy.
If you can rob, then rob; if you can't rob, then lie; if you can't cheat, then coax; if you can't coax, be patient first, and wait until you can rob!
Relying on his engineering skills and this business concept, Razdunk quickly became the new tycoon in Under Armor.
He is very young, but not many goblins dare to provoke him anymore.
The young and energetic Razdunk was thinking about how to earn more almond gold coins while walking on his own territory.
He was in a pretty good mood.
This good mood lasted until he heard a piece of news.
"What? The ship transporting engineers has been kidnapped?! The engineers and my entire ship's cargo have all disappeared?!"
