Chapter 54 Confidence (please read)
"Uncle Bede is laughing at this. It is too difficult to train such a wild beast." Gavin smiled helplessly at Bede.
"Amazing, amazing, already very amazing." Bede said with a thumbs up, "I have never seen such an obedient and smart half-ogre. Brother Gavin, where did you come from? You picked up such a treasure?”
Although Bede was talking to Gavin, his eyes were following the half-ogre, and even a fool could see that coveting look.
This is simply a natural caravan guard. Taking such a person on the road will not only greatly improve the safety factor, but also assist carriages and carry goods at critical moments.
"Luckily, he delivered it to the door himself." Gavin said lightly, looking at Bede as if he didn't see it at all.
Bede felt itchy and couldn't help but said: "For the sake of our deep relationship, Uncle Bede has a small request..."
"Not for sale." Gavin Directly interrupting Bede's next words.
"How do you know what I'm going to say?" Bede said in surprise.
“What you want to say is written on your face.” Gavin said extremely seriously, “Other business matters are easy to negotiate, but the people under my command, let alone kobolds, even if they are goblins, I won’t sell it either. If Uncle Bede wants to do business with me in the future, don’t touch my bottom line.”
The experience of being a slave in his previous life made Gavin deeply hate the slave trade.
Don't say he won't touch this business. He will kill every slave trader he meets and there will be absolutely no negotiation.
"Haha, just kidding, just kidding, how could Uncle Bede take away what Brother Gavin loves so much? No, it should be said to be talent. After all, Brother Gavin wants to take root in a dangerous place like Rockland. , I really need this kind of powerful guard, haha..."
Bede once again showed his tactful side, making a haha, rounding up the somewhat embarrassing atmosphere, and took Gavin's arm inward. Walking down the aisle, "Let's go, I'm here this time." It’s not just me. Except for a few who are going to Sembia to ship goods, the rest of the brothers are back. It seems that Brother Gavin is very popular among us old friends, and they all think highly of you.
< br>Facts have also proved that Brother Gavin is more capable than we thought. We brought a lot of good things this time, but we did not have enough understanding of the development speed of Brother Gavin, and some of the goods were not prepared well. Enough.”
"When Bede said this, he was a little out of touch. The fact that you can come is the greatest trust in me, so I am completely satisfied." Gavin said with a smile, "Besides, what we do is not a business, but It's a long-term business. If you don't bring enough this time, it will be enough next time."
"Brother Gavin still has a long-term perspective. It's my lack of understanding. Blame me, blame me, blame me." Bede expressed his sincere appreciation. .
Gavin has a unique charm. As long as you chat with him for a few words, consciously or unconsciously, you will ignore his childish face.
Bede, who does business with him, has a deeper feeling.
When you think you are facing a silly and naive rookie, in the end you will find that you are the silly and silly one. People can easily learn from an old businessman like you. In the hand, a white wolf with empty gloves.
When you think that the other party is a naive little fox, when you turn around, you will find that they have built a foundation that many people have spent half their lives unable to build. They simply don’t take those trivial interests in their eyes. They take a broad view. , is the longer-term future.
When you think of him as an old fox who has been practicing for many years, someone who spends money generously, he is also like a newbie who keeps giving you benefits, which makes you feel a little embarrassed. Wait until you wake up. , when you look back, you will realize that people have already earned enough benefits from you.
But it makes people unable to get angry at all, because in their calculations, your interests have been clearly calculated.
In addition to admiration for this kind of person, I still admire him.
It is precisely because they figured this out that those crafty businessmen took the risk of making a futile trip and gathered in Heijing.
They still want to take a gamble.
As a result, they won the bet.
In just two ten days, Gavin opened up the situation here. Not only did he own a large kobold tribe, but he also captured a powerful half-ogre barbarian. Based on this alone, it is no longer important how much profit they make from this trip. What is important is that they have dug a new mine, a new mine that is worthy of their additional investment.
Bede and the others stayed in the Black Well tribe for three full days.
For two days, under the leadership of Gavin, we walked around the mountains surrounding the Black Well tribe.
Of course they are not visiting the scenery. The rocky land is not a remote place, but it has absolutely nothing to do with the beautiful scenery.
They are observing the terrain around the Black Well tribe, assessing the value of this place and how much energy they are worth investing here.
As for the result, looking at their smiling faces blooming like chrysanthemums, they understand it tacitly.
Just like they originally evaluated Gavin - he has endless potential.
On the last day, we sat together and listened to Gavin’s ideas.
Same as last time, Gavin still did not make too many promises, nor did he reveal all his plans. He only briefly introduced the future development and expansion direction of the Black Well Tribe, and left the rest to those who The businessman figured it out on his own.
When Bede and the others came, there were nearly thirty large trucks. When they left, they were empty. The large trucks were only one-third full. Among them, the trucks produced in Heijing Mine were empty. Iron ore only accounts for half, and the remaining half is scrap metal collected from half-ogres and surrounding tribes.
But all the businessmen’s faces are full of satisfaction and longing, giving people the feeling of making a lot of money.
The goods they brought back were barely enough to cover the cost of their trip, but they opened up a brand new business route. If they want to really make money, they have to wait until Gavin's kobold tribe develops to a certain extent. After degree.
Before this, it was an additional investment period. This was the price you had to pay if you wanted to make big money. These old businessmen knew this very well.
Investment without losing money is what all businessmen love to hear.
These businessmen are both companions and competitors. They all keep their own calculations, thinking about what and how much goods they will bring next time they come back, and how many promises they will exchange from Gavin. Which city should I go to this time and who should I sign a supply and sales contract with?
The arrival of Bede and his party gave Gavin the confidence.
This confidence comes from many aspects.
On the one hand, it is the opening of sales channels.
The promise of Bede and his group of merchants is one thing, but their actual appearance is another.
If he digs a large amount of ore, but there is not a single merchant who comes to visit him, is it possible for him to carry the ore on his back and search for sales channels all over the world?
It's not impossible, but it consumes too much energy and time and will seriously slow down his expansion in the rocky area.
On the other hand, it is given by food.
Twenty-five of the thirty large trucks were carrying grain, although many of them were hairy, moldy old grain.
But for the black well kobolds who have just been out of the food and clothing line for a few days, some food is good. Who cares whether it is new food or old food?
Besides, Gavin doesn’t know how to steam bread, steamed buns, and stew vegetables and meat in a pot for them. There is not much difference in the taste between new and old grains.
With this food as a backing, Gavin's original relatively conservative expansion speed can be appropriately accelerated.
To be more precise, with these grains, Gavin doesn't need to do anything. He just needs to pile them there, and the kobolds will come to him on their own.
