"The newly built Stratholme still belongs to you, and the sovereignty of the port belongs to you, so don't you have a commercial tax?" Patrick continued his plan: "Most of the trade in goods within the Convention depends on maritime trade, and the tax rate at the port of Stratholme is charged according to the commercial tax standard within the Convention, of course, the Kingdom of Lordaeron will not interfere with the trade tax set by other camps, and you will not interfere with how much Quel Salas you collect. ”

"You need business to bring the economy to life, you need to communicate with the outside world, and this port will be a window for you, and as for Quel'Thalas's loan, it will be repaid at 64% of your business tax, Lordanlen will take 60%, and Quel'Thalas will receive 40%. The kingdom of Lordaeron has full sovereignty over Stratholme, and the right to operate it also belongs to you, how about the High Elf merchants who arrive at Stratholme's port to trade, and all the members of the Arcane Convention, enjoy the most-favored-nation treatment? ”

There is no more exciting condition than this, but Old Ferding excitedly asked the last question: "What is the interest on the loan?" "Quel'Thalas's income is known to the whole world, and the labor services and consumption of the High Elves are too high, if the interest is too high, Old Fording is really afraid that the current Lordaeron will not be able to pay it back.

"With the minimum interest rate within the Arcane Convention, this is almost equivalent to an interest-free loan, and the reconstruction of Stratholme will be a win-win scenario." Patrick gave a criterion that almost caused Old Fourding to have a cerebral hemorrhage.

This still doesn't agree, so isn't it stupid? This is Quel'Salas changing the law to help himself. Old Fording immediately agreed, and indicated that when he returned to New Faaron, he would inform Galia and Alonsos, and then assemble a business team to go to Quellins City to negotiate in detail.

In the eyes of Old Fordin, it was originally thought that Quel'Thalas wanted the port of Stratholme, but now it seems that the High Elves still don't pay much attention to the outside world, but they are a little more open than before the invasion of the Scourge.

Quel'Salas took the part of the Northland Watchtower, after all, it was originally just a watchtower, and no one else cared about it, and the Northland Watchtower was only used to protect the merchants who passed through the province of Miradar, and it was abandoned after the natural disaster

And hearing that it was an almost interest-free loan, and that there was no sovereignty and management of the port of Stratholme, this was not the High Elves helping Lordaeron for free, what was it?

"There are a few other points I want to explain in advance, you know the character of our clan, and if there are any accidents in the future, you still need to bear with them."

Old Fording was naturally full of acknowledgement of this, and Lordaeron had dealt with Quel'Thalas for the longest time, and the character of the High Elves had long been known to the people of Lordaeron.

"And the ships inside the Arcane Convention are all escorted by Naga, and Vasqi may let a group of Naga build nests around the port of Stratholme, which should be fine."

"Of course, Vasqi's Naga is also a member of the Convention, so they are naturally our allies."

"Regarding the security of the Erudito, I also hope that the Kingdom of Lordaeron will do its part, Stratholme has been jointly wiped out by us once, after the catastrophe, there are not many undead there, I think you can do it, and Quel'Salas is not a country that specializes in holy light energy, and you still need to purify those heavily polluted lands."

"It is incumbent upon us to rebuild Stratholme, which will be our most important city, and the cleansing of the plague and the resumption of production will be the number one priority." Old Ferding also agreed, after all, this is his own business, and no one will let the plague wantonly eat away at the bodies of civilians.

Patrick also affirmed: "Then look forward to our first large-scale cooperation, so that the idea of a win-win situation can be turned into reality." ”

Along with Patrick, this is simply the best news that Old Fording has heard since the death of Neozu, Stratholme was once the closest city between Lordaeron and Quel'Thalas, and he was once more prosperous than any other place in the world of Azeroth.

In Old Fordin's heart, this is definitely the most important signal that Quel'Salas wants to rebuild the kingdom and the kingdom of Lordaeron. Moreover, after the reconstruction, Stratholm, Old Fording can arrange these werewolves who followed, and now Stratholme really won't be able to build it, and the kingdom of Lordaeron will be perfectly revived.

Now that Old Fording had agreed, Patrick would hand over the task to the Commerce Department of the Silvermoon Council upon his return to Quel'Thalas, which would be their first large-scale project.

Did Patrick lose money? Or is it that Quel'Salas has lost out on voluntary aid?

Impossible, how could Patrick lose. It is simply immeasurable how much diplomatic benefit this aid will bring, and it will be the first attempt by Quel'Thalas to radiate influence outward, and it will also send a good diplomatic signal to Eagle's Nest Mountain, Stormgard, Bear Monsters, and Walrus People, at least Quel'Thalas will not trap his allies, strengthen the ties within the Pact, and stabilize the balance of various races and forces within the Pact.

And putting aside diplomatic issues and simply looking at money, this is simply crazy. This interest-free loan will not be given casually, nor will it be transported from the treasury of Quel'Salas to the city of New Fayaron.

This loan is to be used for the construction of cities and infrastructure, and the scope of use has been indicated, not for you to squander at will. If you want to rebuild Stratholme, you need to use the High Elves, you need to use the technology of the High Elves, you need to use the materials of the High Elves, and in the later operation, you still have to hire some High Elves as managers to show your sincerity.

If you kick out all the High Elves as soon as Stratholm is built, as soon as this news gets out, who will dare to deal with Lordaeron in the future, even Jean, who has reached an agreement with Old Fordin, will have concerns.

Quel'Thalas's Arcane intellectual property and human services are extremely expensive, and this loan will certainly not be a small amount, even if the High Elves do not get the management and management rights after the construction of New Stratholm in the future.

The profits, we are going to share, are used to repay the loan, Patrick can use this loan to solve the employment problem of the Quel'Thalas High Elves, so that ordinary elves can earn a lot of money, so that a series of families, builders, and producers of supporting products can get a lot of income, which is to be paid to Quel'Thalas through loans.
