Chapter 48 Reverse Cooperation

"What else?" I looked at the man.

He said very confidently: "We can choose to refuse your help."

"Hahahaha." I laughed suddenly, but I suddenly stopped mid-laughing and said in a rather cold voice: "This joke is not funny."

"It depends on what we exchange for it." The man said confidently: "The quality of the people in our guild is not high. Even if there are experts, there are very few. Of course, there are no conditions for negotiation. However, we have secrets."

"Secret? Are you talking about intelligence?" I confirmed very carefully.

"Yes, intelligence." The man nodded and said: "If you want to get the intelligence in our hands, don't show us the style of a big guild. We don't accept this trick."

I took a deep breath, made a movement to calm my breathing, and then calmly turned to Zhen Hong and said, "Let's go."

The man was surprised by my words and quickly caught up with me and grabbed me. "You haven't heard our secret yet."

I didn't say anything, just looked at him blankly. Zhenhong turned around and replied fiercely: "We in the Frost Rose Alliance can only do what we want to do or not, not what we have to do. Remember what I said, and you will understand what I mean when you die."

"you……?"

"Let go." I slapped his hand open and turned around and walked towards the door. He slammed the door open, and the door panel bounced off and hit the walls on both sides with a loud bang, startling the guards outside. But they didn't know what was going on inside, and they couldn't say anything.

"Stop them." The man said.

The guards immediately surrounded me, and Zhenhong followed me. Suddenly he turned around and punched the front guard on the door. The guy immediately flew back, bumped into three other people, and flew into the room together, knocking over the understanding table. Zhenhong turned around coolly, and the red cloak was thrown away behind her with a whoosh, and everyone in the room was stunned.

"Hmph!" Zhenhong let out a disdainful snort and chased me towards the exit.

It wasn't until we got down to the lobby on the ground floor that those people realized what we were doing. Ak punched the man in anger. "Are you sick? Why compete with him? He is the eldest brother of the first guild in China, how can you show your prestige to others as the vice president of the second popular guild? Now that's it, what can we do if we don't have strong support? Are they fighting against the Light of Century?"

A player who had been silent just now said: "Let's not talk about assistance. What if they go to help the Light of Century?"

"Hurry up and apologize, you idiot!" The player on the other side jumped up and pulled the president and the man towards the downstairs.

When the supervisors in the room rushed downstairs, Zhenhong and I had already mounted our mounts. The two mounts leapt into the air with a neigh and ran towards the distance. Ak rushed downstairs with his people and immediately called out his mount. He caught up with him, but he ran further and further away, and was completely out of sight before he left the city limits. She was so angry that she ran back and scolded the man.

Sitting on Yeying's back, I was also very angry. Being so arrogant when asking for help can at least show that the other party has no idea how high the sky is and how high the sky is. Such a guild is like mud and will never be able to be lifted up. The prerequisite for the expansion of our bank is that the quality of personnel cannot be reduced. We would rather have a small number of people than recruit garbage people. The rubbish personnel I'm talking about here are rubbish in terms of their quality, not their level. If your profession is not good, you can change it, and if your level is low, you can practice it. There is nothing you can do if your character is not good.

Zhenhong asked me: "What should we do now?"

"Go back and find those people you beat."

"Ah? Did I hear correctly?"

"You heard that right." I looked at Zhenhong and said, "It's actually very simple. What the man just wanted to threaten us with was nothing more than profit. They must have something valuable in their hands and hope to use it to take advantage of us. .”

Zhenhong smiled and said: "Aren't you a wild goose? Why did you give up so directly today?"

"First, these people are not worthy of help. Second, their ignorance will encourage their unreasonable arrogance, and the final offer will definitely be unacceptable to us. So instead of wasting time negotiating with them, it is better to give up on them directly. Finally, I am sure It's Yan Guo who left the "hair", but they forgot one important thing, that is, money can not only be earned, but also stolen. No matter what they are holding, if they can't trade it, they can just grab it. Although they will lose some reputation points , but we can get higher profits. Anyway, if we want to develop in Russia, we have to recruit them one by one. If these people can't be recruited, they have to fight."

"Black, really dark."

"Of course, the transaction is a mutual choice between the two parties. If you are not satisfied, you can negotiate again. I can't stand being threatened."

"Then why are you looking for the people I beat?"

"You should have understood when you saw them fighting before. These two guilds are obviously enemies, and enemies of enemies are friends. At least we can take advantage of it. If I guessed correctly, the other party will be very willing after your punch Cooperate with us.”

"What if they don't want to?"

"Then find another partner."

Zhenhong asked in confusion: "Why don't we go it alone?"

"It's very simple. Russian guilds with Chinese support can flex their muscles in Russia, but if the Chinese directly develop guilds in Russia, they will only unite the country and then collectively resist us. Do you understand?"

"I still don't quite understand, but it seems to make sense. I don't understand your twists and turns, so I just follow you. I will do whatever you say."

"Then the first thing is to contact our lovely allies."

The speed of both mounts was amazing, and soon we were back in the previous city. But they are currently busy repairing the city wall. The punch from Zhenhongdi was so powerful that the damaged houses in the city and the completely missing city gate were nothing. On the contrary, the human losses were relatively heavy. That punch directly swept across the entire city's main road. Everyone who was on this straight line at that time was basically involved. Not many people were killed, but many were injured.

Our sudden appearance caused immediate panic. The people of Lima gathered to defend themselves against any attack we might launch. I always think that smart enemies are cuter than stupid allies. At least you can beat him up and don't have to endure his stupidity. These guys did not disappoint me. Although they made defensive preparations considering that we might launch an attack, they did not launch an attack immediately, and the commander among them made me very satisfied.

She is the catwoman in red who came out of the hotel before. Speaking of this woman, I am very curious. When I saw her before, she clearly came out of the hotel, but now she seems to be the commander here, but there is no reason why any guild leader would build his office in a hotel, right?

The woman pushed aside the person in front of her and walked out of the crowd. It seemed that she was not nervous at all. "Hi! Why have you two turned back? Are they not treating guests well? Or have you already reached an agreement?"

This woman is difficult to deal with, was my first instinct. "It seems that you guys really know each other." I didn't answer her. Instead, he opened another topic with the purpose of disrupting her rhythm. Letting the other person dictate the pace of a conversation is dangerous. "Ak told me they have a secret. I just want to know how much you know about this secret?"

"Oh? This is really interesting news." She held a crystal goblet in her hand and leisurely swayed the red liquid in it. "Let me think about it." She deliberately placed her fingers on her chin, showing a very innocent look. However, a sexy girl with a hot figure can express only one message by doing this kind of action - teasing. "Maybe I understand the situation."

"I like smart people. So just tell me?"

The woman laughed, then walked over to me and took my arm. "Come inside and talk."

The alarm was lifted instantly and I was taken into the hotel for a detailed discussion. I have to say that this woman is very powerful. In comparison, the tauren man next to her is much ruder. Along the way, he was competing with Zhenhong about whose eyes were bigger. Obviously Zhenhong was at a disadvantage in this regard. However, Zhen Hong will always use her small fist to attack the opponent's arrogance after the opponent thinks she has gained an advantage, and the effect is excellent.

After entering the hotel, we found a private room and started negotiating. This woman almost crawled all over me as if she had no bones, but this did not affect my thoughts at all. "Please, I'm wearing heavy armor. Can you please stop rubbing your devilish breasts against my armor? You won't feel it!"

thump. Women are hit hard. It rolled right off my lap. Zhenhong couldn't help laughing, and even the tauren following her had their eyes turned red from laughing.

The woman pretended to be nonchalant and got up from the ground, but she still sat down on the opposite side honestly. "In that case, then. In order to express the sincerity of both of us, how about we share each other's information first?"

"No problem. I have relatively little information, so let me go first. What I know is that AK has an interest worth fighting for, but I don't know what it is, or it may not be there at all. It's not a thing. But I can be sure that this thing has enough temptation, because people from AK once tried to use it to offset the value of the entire guild. In other words, this benefit is much more valuable than their guild. In addition, I I also know that you seem to be preparing to attack them, and I can roughly guess that you are not completely ignorant of this matter. I know so much, and besides. If it's not troublesome, how about introducing me? You should know me Who are you, then tell me who you are?”

The woman nodded. "My name is Little Doll Cat. He is a big cow. We are members of Light of the Century. I am the president and he is my bodyguard."

I almost burst out laughing. big cow? What a 'sexual' name. But I know that this is the translation result of the translation system. The other party should use Russian, which means Daniel, and the pronunciation is definitely not like this.

The little wildcat didn't notice that we were suppressing laughter, and still said: "Our information is much more detailed than yours. First, let you understand what you are about to work hard for. That is actually a drawing with records on it. It’s a design drawing of a teleportation array.”

"There is a magic teleportation array in every city. Is there anything special about the design of this teleportation array that makes it more valuable than a guild?"

The little wild cat smiled and said: "This is the key point. This teleportation array is not a teleportation array that connects cities. It is a dedicated teleportation array that can only connect to a specific space."

"A specific space? You mean a dedicated space for storing items?" I asked.

"It's not a dedicated space, but a brand new game area. Or it can be called a new map. There are no players in this area, it is an independent space. There are monsters, resources, and land, but there are no NPCs and players. You You can build a city in it to collect resources, and you can also let people go in to fight monsters and level up.”

"It's just a dedicated map, isn't it worth that much money?" I asked in confusion: "Why can't I practice leveling? When it comes to building a city, we have plenty of space to build it. At most, building a city on that piece of land is relatively cheap. It’s just safe, are there any other advantages?”

"Of course it's not just these advantages, otherwise we wouldn't be interested in it. The biggest advantage of this place is not that there are no other players, but that all the monsters here have triple experience. All monsters in this space . You can find them normally in this map. All the attributes of the monsters on both sides are the same. The only difference is that the monsters in the special area have three times the experience value, and the refresh speed is super fast. It is like a guild. The best place for leveling. In normal maps, you have to compete with others for a better leveling area. If you control the leveling area with force, others will say you are overbearing, but here you don’t have to worry at all, the entire area is yours Yes, you can practice as much as you want. There are also resources inside. Every resource outside is available inside. Although you still need to carefully search for minerals inside, the area itself is not big, so it is very easy to find it. Yes, and it is said that these mines are all super rich ores. The yield is very high, and you can make a lot of money from them."

"Wait a minute." I quickly shouted to stop. "Do you mean that every time you build such a teleportation array, you can open up a space like this, or do you mean that the teleportation array on this drawing can only be connected to this one space?"

"Of course there is only this one space. Otherwise, wouldn't your infinite copy teleportation array have to have a lot of leveling areas? Is that okay? But if you build more teleportation arrays like this, you can have more entrances. But in the end, you will enter This area.”

"Three times the experience area plus a super rich ore concentration area, I think I can understand why the people in AK think this thing is worth our money. Obviously, it is definitely worth the price. So what I want to know now is if we cooperate, How do you want to divide it?"

The little wild cat said: "First of all, we can each build a teleportation array to let our own people enter this space, and then start leveling up inside. There is no need for us to divide at this point. With the number of people in our two guilds, even if it is increased by four or five It’s definitely enough points, no need to grab monsters.”

I nodded: "What about minerals and land?"

"There's nothing to grab in terms of land. There's no one there anyway. Building cities is just a supply point for players and a storage place for some special items. Our guild prefers to put the capital of our guild there, because it's there It's relatively safe. As long as you don't attack us, that city won't be attacked by players, because other guild players can't go to that space at all. Therefore, we only need to build one city each, and it's ok. Land doesn’t seem to mean much, does it?”

"That's true. But first of all, let me say that our guild has many special buildings that take up a lot of space. Maybe we will build some special buildings there. It may use a large area."

"It doesn't matter. Just leave us with something three to six times the size of this city."

"Okay. Then the last question. How to divide the resources?"

The little wild cat thought for a while and said: "Our guild is relatively small and does not have the ability to mine and smelt minerals by ourselves. So we don't want to participate in the mining, but since we cooperated to get it back, we can't help but give some benefits, right? My idea is In this way, all the minerals will be mined by you, and we will send a number of supervisors to each mining area. They will calculate and check the daily mining volume of minerals, and then calculate the value of these mineral lands based on the system average transaction price of that type of mineral on that day. Your guild will Give us 40% of its value in cash, and then the minerals will all be yours, and I don’t care how you use them."

I thought for a moment and said, "Fifteen percent at most, no more."

The tauren suddenly jumped up and roared: "You can't bully others like this, right?"

Zhenhong raised her fist and immediately silenced him. It was obvious that the previous punch had caused serious psychological distress to him. The little wild cat obviously supported the opinion of the tauren Daniel, so she did not stop him.

I said: "Obviously your guild has never been exposed to low-level products like minerals. So you may not have the corresponding knowledge. The first thing to explain is that we are in a cooperative relationship, which means that you can only own a hundred or so of these minerals at most. The ratio of fifty to fifty, can you understand this?"

Both Daniel and Little Wildcat nodded to express their understanding. After all, in the cooperation between a powerful guild and a small guild, the investment of the powerful guild must be very strong. Of course, it is already very good to only get half of it.

I continued to explain: "The minerals are not there, we have to find them and dig them out. Mining requires labor, right? Labor has to be paid, right? After the ore is mined, you can't find some people to be there one by one for dressing and sorting the ore. Pick? We have to invest in mineral processing machines and the like, right? And raw ore generally cannot be traded. At least primary processing is required? This series of processes requires investment of funds and manpower, but you have left all the tasks to us. , under this premise, it is obviously unreasonable for you to take another 50%, right?"

The bull and the little wild cat nodded again.

"Generally, the cost of ore selection and initial processing site accounts for about 10% of the value of the ore after initial processing, and one company shares 5%. In other words, if you take 45%, it is already over the standard. After all, we have invested The power is equal to sharing the money with you in the same proportion. Do you think this is fair?"

The two shook their heads.

"So, we must have a return on cost. In China, the return on investment of mineral resources exceeds 10,000 percent. Of course, that is related to our country's national conditions. The normal international ratio should be 300 percent. We invest The total amount is 10%, and after three times the rate of return, it is 30%. After removing our own 5%, you should remove 25%. In other words, you own 10% The twenty-five percent commission is equivalent to sharing the profit half and half with us. Do you all understand here?"

The two men nodded stupidly with their mouths open.

"Then there is one more thing. Can't the ore be piled there after it is produced? The ore piled next to the ore will definitely not produce any benefits, so we need to transport it to the finishing point, or directly to the place where primary materials are needed. Then we have to bear the transportation cost, right? The transportation cost of primary ore is generally 10%, and everyone splits it half and half. Your commission will be reduced by another 5%, and you can only get 20%. In addition, if you process 10,000 Items still cannot be directly converted into profits. We have to sell them directly or reprocess them into finished products, right? The sales channels in between have to cost money, right? Do you know how much capital investment is needed to support a national marketing and consumer network? Although we The guild has ready-made channels, but there must be cost sharing, right? In addition, due to this series of operations, we will definitely have a backlog of funds. This whole process is at least more than 10%, which means that the deduction You have already taken advantage of 5% of it. As a big guild like us cooperates with you, we cannot share 50% of the benefits. Do you have any objections?"

I finished speaking in one breath, and the two people opposite me were completely stunned. After a long time, the little wild cat suddenly said: "Isn't it right?"

"What's wrong?"

She immediately counted them with her fingers, and after doing so for a long time, she roughly 'rubbed' her hair into an afro. "I can't figure out what's wrong. Anyway, there is a problem. Fifteen percent of it must be a problem. You must have set a trap for us to jump. But I can't find it. I admit that you are better than us. Negotiate with us I’m not your opponent, but since it’s a cooperation, you can’t be too awesome, right? Give us a sweet spot. We’ll close the deal at 20%.”

"It's a pleasure to work with you." I shook her hand cheerfully. "Congratulations on joining the Frost Rose Alliance chariot group."

The little wild cat smiled bitterly and said: "Is this the so-called being tied to your chariot?"

"Absolutely! Haha, but you won't suffer any loss if you follow us. The best ones currently hanging out with us are the German Iron Crusaders. We can help them become the leaders of the German guilds, and we can also help you become the Russian guild leader. The strongest guild, of course, provided you are willing to cooperate with us."

The little wild cat said: "In my opinion, working with you is like sucking white powder. But this temptation... forget it, let's talk about it then!"

I have said before that the little wild cat is a very powerful character. The last sentence she said actually revealed the nature of our guild, but she had no choice but to say no more because she knew that her guild was in a difficult situation. In a very embarrassing position, if you want to develop, you have to accept it helplessly.

It will be much easier once the agreement is reached. What we need now is to first build a city of our guild in Russia, and then place a transnational teleportation array here. Once the city is completed, you can teleport troops over in large numbers, and then work with the Light of Century to completely bulldoze the guild in AK and grab the blueprint.

This city that needs to be built will serve as a stronghold for us in Russia and will therefore definitely develop into a fortified city. Of course, we don't want to engage in a national war with the Russians yet, so this city is temporarily set up as a managed city. In other words, the city still belongs to Russia, and the Chinese Heavenly Court has no control over it, but the city is managed by the guild. This is of the same nature as Qidian City in the United States, and will not be systematically counterattacked by the other country. If we build it like Fulcrum City, Russia's national spiritual organization will definitely fight back against us and issue mobilization orders to players across the country. Then we will be in trouble.

All the materials for the new city were purchased in Russia, and we paid for it. Of course, the construction workers should leave it to us. After all, our city is built by others. If we leave a back door in the city wall, it will be over. The team from Essinger set out on the road the next day. The guild's Dragonfly Castle has a spider fortress hanging under it and will head towards Russia first. They are the fastest and should be there soon. They are mainly responsible for sending the transnational teleportation array here first, and then the giant butterfly city will arrive later and bring a large number of workers with them. The transnational transmission array will subsequently receive technical personnel and advanced materials from within the country. We only buy stones and basic metals in Russia, and we still prepare high-end materials ourselves. Anyway, it doesn’t take up much weight and is very convenient to transport.
