Today, three years have passed since Zutiu stood tall in the Tanaris Desert.
Three years is nothing in Azeroth, but in this port city on the seaside of Tanaris, it has been an earth-shaking change.
Three years ago, there was only sand here, barren sea water, and the ever-scorching sun in the sky.
Three years later, this place is already a few li in radius, with city walls and gates, complete street planning and housing construction, and a seaside pearl standing next to the endless sea.
The goblins of the Hot Sand Group have invested a lot of energy here. It can be said that in the past three years, the chairman of the Hot Sand Group has invested almost all of his company's energy, money and manpower in Zutiu. In addition, the Zul Empire
Strong support in terms of resources and comprehensive guarantee in terms of security.
In just three years, an adventure city that accommodates nearly 100,000 residents plus a floating population of about 100,000 was built by Hot Sand Group.
The investment of the goblins of Hotsand Group is huge. Similarly, the income of the goblins is also huge. So far, the Zul Empire has not collected a single penny in tax from Zutiu. So far, the Zul Empire has done nothing for this.
When a purely commercial adventure city provides various living materials, the prices completely comply with the same standards within the empire.
The reputation of Zutiu of Tanaris has now vaguely spread to another continent. In recent months, even some elven merchants from Quel'Thalas have come here to venture into business. Not to mention the original
For goblins who mainly engage in business, Zutiu is now the place they are most willing to develop besides Andermei.
Hotsand Group spent all the company's financial and human resources to build Zutiu. What the goblins gained was the city's tax revenue, as well as a lot of money earned in the process of providing life services, commercial services and financial services to a prosperous commercial city.
Philippines profit.
Except for the chairman of Resha Group, few outsiders know exactly how much they earn. However, in order to develop Zutiu, Resha Group is even willing to slow down or shelve their construction and investment in other places. It can be seen that the profits and profits here are
So important!
Standing on the roof of the third floor of the city hall in the center of the city, Streamwilder Hotsand looked at the sea and sky in the distance, as well as the various ships constantly sailing on the blue sea. Mr. Chairman smoked a cup of tea from Stranglethorn Vale.
Cigars made from raw materials make you feel happy and comfortable.
"Ah~ this tastes really good!" He pushed the smoke produced by burning the cigar deeply into his lungs through his throat, and then exhaled it.
Streamwild admired.
"Gazlowe. How is the production of this thing over in Stranglethorn Vale?" Chairman Steamwheedle asked a steady-looking goblin behind him.
"Oh, sir. Its production is not large. The tobacco you smoke is purely wild... We found these tobacco leaves at the Cape of Stranglethorn Vale and saw some human pirates smoking them, so we also tried it, and then
Found it to taste very good…”
"Well...then what."
"Then we drove away those human pirates and sent some goblins to guard there. At the same time, we picked some and sent them back to Zur'an. The manager of the branch in Zul'an asked the goblins to send them back here. As for the production volume,
, the wild area is only about five acres. If it were made into the size you are enjoying now, under the condition of sustainable development, it would only be possible to make about 50,000 roots a year."
"Fifty thousand... This quantity is a bit small!" Strymwild pondered. "Can it be cultivated artificially? Recently, the empire captured a group of goblins from venture capital companies, and I spent some money to buy them.
How about raising a waste of food and letting these idiots grow tobacco leaves?!"
"It can be cultivated artificially. In the human kingdom of Stormwind City in the south, some manor owners have grown tobacco leaves a long time ago. But I can't guarantee that the taste of the planted tobacco leaves will be the same as that of the wild ones!" Gazlowe said seriously.
vocal tract.
"Okay. This matter needs to be considered." Strimwild said. "Under Armor and the human side, the demand for tobacco has been very strong. In recent times, the empire's internal demand for this kind of thing has been very strong.
The demand is also increasing. Many trolls have started smoking! So I think that smoking the leaves of this plant will definitely become a trend in the future, and the industry related to it will be a good business."
"Resand Sand Group cannot stand still just because of Zutiu's success. Instead, we must take advantage of Zutiu's success to expand the group's influence and profits around the world!"
"Gazlowi!" Streamwilder Hotsand suddenly spoke earnestly. "Zutiu's situation is now settled. King Tonatiu trusts us very much! Our position here will not be shaken, so...I
It is planned to continue the construction of the group’s strongholds and harbors in other places in one year’s time!”
"Well... just like King Tonatiu said to the troll, "Velociraptor eggs cannot be placed in just one nest, so that when the oviraptor comes to steal the eggs, they can avoid them all being stolen at once"!
Gazlowi said.
"I agree with you!"
Streamwild nodded, suddenly turned around and patted Gazlowe, who was about the same height as him, on the shoulder: "That guy Marin, I didn't realize he had such an ability before. He is now Tonatiu
The red goblin in front of the king is still a high-ranking member of the imperial government, and it is impossible for him to return to the group."
"Among the younger generation of goblins, I was originally the most optimistic about you and him. But now Marin Noggenfogg is no longer a goblin I can command. Gazlowe, you are now the most outstanding young goblin in the group.
!”
Listening to the chairman's praise, Gazlowe was horrified: "Ah~Mr. Hot Sand, it's all because of your cultivation that I am here today. You..."
"Stop it! Gazlowe." Mr. Hot Sand stopped his younger brother from continuing. "You and I are both elites among goblins. We all know what goblins are like! So it's good to say nice things occasionally.
, but there’s no need to talk about it all day long!”
"Mr. Hot Sand..."
Bang bang~
Streamwild patted Gazlowe on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I'll just say it directly! After Zutiu, Hotsand Group will build at least three more strongholds and ports around the world! That's it!
Those places that were chosen before! One at the Cape of Stranglethorn Vale, one at the southwest corner of Northrift, and one in the north of Kalimdor! If it can be related to humans or those pink-skinned long-ears, one should be built in the north of the Eastern Continent.
!”
"And you, Gazlowi! I have decided to make you the master of one of these stronghold cities! After the construction plan starts, you will be responsible for the construction of one of them and manage it! When a new city is built, you will be the new one.
The trade director enjoys at least 1/3 of that city’s net profit!”
"Mr. Hot Sand..." Gazlowe was really excited this time.
Being able to own a city, manage a city, and enjoy 1/3 of the city's wealth! For any goblin, this is the best embodiment of "promoting a job, raising a salary, and winning wealth and beauty."
The excited Gazlowe wanted to say something. Compared to Strimwild, he was much younger and did not have a deep city. Strimwild patted his shoulder, smoked a cigar and smiled.
An expression that shows everything is left unsaid.
"Just watch~Gazlowi."
Strimwild opened his hands in the direction of the sea in the distance of Zutiu, opened his mind and shouted loudly: "This is our city! Let us unite together and let our business spread all over the world!"
"I will definitely do it! Mr. Hotsand!" Gazlowe said excitedly next to him!
at this time.
A blue teleportation circle appeared behind the two goblins.
The two goblins naturally felt its appearance, but they were not nervous. The teleportation circle that could appear here was either a senior member of the Hotsand Group or a high-level mage from the Zul Empire.
The person who came out of the portal was indeed one of the top officials of the empire. His Highness Prince Torsedrin, the leader of the Syndra mages who is currently the Minister of Education of the Zul Empire.
"Oh~ I woke up this morning and heard the magpie chirping outside the window! Sure enough, a good thing has come! Dear King of Sindra, was it the warm south wind of Un'Goro that brought you to me? That was such a good time.
Wind!" Streamwild immediately raised his voice and stepped forward to welcome him.
Gazlowe, who was next to him, heard what he said, and couldn't help but pause when he stepped forward to greet him. The goblin sighed: "My own skills may still be a little shallow! Mr. Hot Sand can speak like this easily.
And it’s so natural! I wouldn’t be able to do it..."
Although there are many wild birds in Zutiu due to the emergence of oasis, there are no festive birds like magpies. They would not come to live in such a hot place. Gazlowi saw it in Un'Goro Crater
Yes, Zutiu definitely didn’t have it anyway.
Tortheldrin nodded to Strimwild as a sign of respect. The proud Syndra did not look down upon money-grubbing goblins, but the short-lived creature in front of him, who lived less than a hair as long as him, was almost the same as him.
An archmage of the same level, Tortheldrin hates goblins but recognizes Streamwilder's attainments in the arcane path.
"I came under the command of King Tonatiu..." Torsedlin's voice was low and slow.
When the two goblins, Streamwilder and Gazlowe, heard this name, they immediately cheered up.
The smiling expression on Streamwilder's increasingly rounded face also softened a bit, and the goblin said: "Oh! We are all ears!"
"Your Majesty is in Stranglethorn Vale now." Tortheldrin said. "He asked a mage to contact me and pass some orders to you through me..."
Streamwild felt a little uncomfortable when he heard the word "command". It is true that Hotsand Company is a strategic partner of the Zul Empire, but Streamwild believes that the company is independent of the Zul Empire!
However, it was just some verbal dissatisfaction. Strimwild did not show it at all and still said: "Please say it, I am all ears!"
"His Majesty said: Let the guys from Steamwheedle Company come over! Strimwild, yes, that's him. Just tell him that I have a big deal waiting for him in Stranglethorn Vale!" Torsedlin showed no expression on his face.
After retelling, he asked with the same expressionless expression:
"Excuse me, did you hear clearly? Your Excellency Hot Sand."
"I heard you clearly."
"Okay. I'll go back then. There are still many things to do in the academy. The Imperial Library has just been built and I still need to sort it out!"
"What a shame! I also wanted to treat you to a Zutiu seafood dinner here!"
