Chapter 195 Cooperation And Transaction (1)
Gray sat upright on the sofa, while his two subordinates stood behind him meticulously.
On Li Fan's side, besides Li Fan sitting in the main seat, Ying, Anna, Aoki, Dozina, Gu Li, Alicia, and Hui Yu all sat on the sides at will.
This seemed strange to Gray. After all, when the lord was discussing important matters, most of his subordinates should not avoid them, but should respectfully stand aside.
But this time he came here to promote cooperation, so naturally he won't meddle in other people's business.
And having just seen how different this small town is, how dare he underestimate Li Fan.
Gray said at this time: "Let me introduce again, Lord Li Fan, hello, I am Gray, the vice president of the Winter City Mercenary Guild."
"Vice President," Li Fan didn't expect that the person who came this time turned out to be a big shot.
Mercenary guilds exist throughout the entire human empire. It can be said that they are one of the most powerful forces besides nobles.
Only merchant associations and churches can compare with it.
Although the mercenary guild has set up the positions of president and vice president in every city, but a vice president can come here in person and show such a friendly attitude towards him, which undoubtedly gave Li Fan great face .
This also made Li Fan very interested in what Gray was going to say next.
"The purpose of our visit this time is to cooperate with you." Gray stated the purpose of his trip very directly.
"Cooperation, how to cooperate? Are you sure you want to cooperate with our small group of thousands of people?" Although Li Fan doesn't hate cooperation, he really doesn't know where the capital in his valley can be compared with the mercenary guild. A kind of cooperation between big forces.
Gray smiled and said to Li Fan: "Your lord is humble, everyone in Winter City already knows that you defeated Lenny Carton."
Li Fan was stunned for a moment, only then did he realize that it was because of this incident that the mercenary guild was alarmed.
But now that the big black bear has left, if this matter is exposed, they will be in danger.
This is also the reason why Li Fan is eager to advance.
Naturally, Li Fan would not tell Gray about the big black bear's departure.
So he nodded and said pretendingly: "So it's because of this. Although Lenny Carton is strong, but he dares to provoke us, we will naturally not sit still, not only Lenny Carton, but anyone who dares to violate We, we're all going to make him pay."
Li Fan spoke forcefully, but he still felt a little guilty in his heart.
However, in the absence of being sure whether Gray is an enemy or a friend, Li Fan can only find ways to intimidate the opponent, at least showing enough toughness, otherwise there is a high possibility that he will be pinched as a soft persimmon.
However, Li Fan didn't know that his attitude immediately made Gray feel that he had chosen the right person for this cooperation.
Although Gray hasn't seen which master defeated Lenny Carton, he is already very satisfied with Li Fan, the lord.
Now at least it proves that Li Fan is not a softie.
More importantly, Li Fan also gathered four races including dark elves, orcs, dwarves, and humans.
Now these four races sit together, and not only are there no barriers between them, they are even very close.
Just like that dwarf and that bull-human race, the two have been shoulder to shoulder, if they are not both men, it is said that they are a pair of lovers.
Gray thinks it can be seen from this that Li Fan is quite capable, and only by cooperating with such a person can he feel at ease.
So Gray stopped hesitating and said, "It's like this. The most important thing about this cooperation is this valley. I don't know, Lord Lord, do you know what the original purpose of this human gathering place is?"
Li Fan frowned, and replied: "For the convenience of doing some improper business."
When Gray heard this, he knew that Li Fan did not know the real reason for the establishment of this gathering place, but he did not despise Li Fan because of this, but explained it to Li Fan in detail.
Only then did Li Fan understand.
It turned out that it was a group of nobles who established this gathering place.
What these nobles are looking for is not the resources in the evil forest.
They only established this gathering place for the convenience of a certain transaction.
This transaction is not simple, and even involves the four major families.
To put it simply, the nobles provided gold coins and other materials, and then exchanged for the materials they needed from the gathering places of the other three major clans.
The four major clans are hostile to each other, and the behavior of private transactions can even be called treason, so it is naturally shameful.
And the human race gathering place is used to cover up these transactions.
"It's no wonder that there were many mercenaries in the gathering place of the human race, but few went out to hunt monsters. It turns out that their real purpose of coming here is to complete the transaction."
Only then did Li Fan understand the true role of the human gathering place.
Then Li Fan looked at Gray and asked, "How do you want to cooperate?"
Gray glanced at Li Fan, "We have prepared two methods of cooperation, and how to cooperate in the end is up to you, Lord Lord. 1: The mercenary guild will send out people to be stationed in the valley. You don't need to do anything at all, we will I will give you a fixed remuneration every month, and the remuneration is..."
"Next"
Li Fan directly interrupted Gray, it is impossible for him to agree to Gray's cooperation plan.
Li Fan will not allow a large number of people from other forces to appear in the current valley, at least not until he is strong enough.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to say who owns this valley in the near future.
Gray seemed to have guessed Li Fan's decision a long time ago, but he didn't expect Li Fan to be so determined.
He didn't talk nonsense, and directly stated the second cooperation method.
"The second method of cooperation is for the lord to find a way to buy the things we need from the gathering places of the other three clans, and we will pay according to the value of the things."
Li Fan hesitated after hearing what Gray said.
To be honest, this method of cooperation is not easy. If you want to complete the transaction, you must deal with the other three major clans.
However, it is not a matter of a day or two for the four major clans to be hostile to each other. Where they can communicate easily, it is estimated that Li Fan and the others will be attacked as soon as they get close.
Li Fan did not give up because of this, and continued to ask: "Is there anything I need to buy?"
Gray replied: "Buy monster fur and monster materials from the orcs, exchange healing potions and food from the elves, buy ores from the dwarves, and let the dwarves make weapons and leather armor from the monster materials, fur and ores. The most important transaction content."
After hearing this, Li Fan finally understood why these transactions were called treason.
To sum up, this transaction is not about purchasing four things: healing potions, food, weapons, and armor.
These are all war materials!
How could the king allow the nobles to hoard these supplies in private?
