Lu Yao looked at the distinguished guests in front of him and frowned slightly.

These few people are none other than the Blood Duke, Black Widow and the other four who formed allies on the Bloody Plains. And he remembered not telling the four titular allies that he was going to get married.

"Please forgive us for coming uninvited, with little caution and not respect." After all, the Blood Duke was sleek, and with a smile, he took out a very beautifully packaged box and handed it to the Wind Demon Kojiro, who acted as a personal guard.

Lu Yao took the box and opened it, but inside was a pair of pitch-black shoes. There was also a gift slip lying quietly on the black cloth shoes, which was densely written with words, which was obviously of great value.

"Congratulations." Black Widow was still cold and took out a gift list.

"Congratulations." I love Black Widow so enthusiastically that I also took out a gift list, a thick stack, obviously more valuable.

"I'm just a poor man, but for the sake of our friendship, that's all I can offer." The Flame Baron grinned and took out a stack of gift lists, which is also as good as I love Black Widow.

Lu Yao was a little surprised.

These four are all unprofitable characters with deep backgrounds. Just talking about Black Widow, there is the shadow of the British royal family behind her, and it is not an exaggeration to be regarded as a representative of the British Island. can be on an equal footing with her, and the background of the three people such as the Blood Duke is naturally not far behind. As far as he knew, the Duke of Blood was a member of the Dutch royal family. I love Black Widow and Flame Baron are both spokesmen for the big North American conglomerates.

Uninvited this time, there must be a conspiracy.

"There is an old saying in China, you are a guest from afar. Thank you very much. Lu Yao smiled and handed the gift list to Wind Demon Kojiro.

"This is just one of the purposes for which we are here." The Black Widow said straight to the point: "Secondly, we want to formally negotiate with you about the division of the territory. ”

The play meat is coming.

When Lu Yao heard this, he put away his smiling face. The territorial division mentioned by these people is obviously not an ordinary division of territory, simply put, it is to divide the spheres of influence of each family and reach an offensive and defensive alliance.

"This is our sphere of influence." The Blood Duke also put away his smile and took out a new map of the world.

Lu Yao took the map from the Wind Demon Kojiro's hand, unfolded it and looked at it, admiring it so much.

It's a hand-drawn map of the world, so beautiful that it's exactly like it's printed. The five continents and four oceans are clearly marked on it, and all countries in the world are clearly marked on it.

Looking at it, Lu Yao had a bottom in his heart.

Frankly speaking, the four of the Duke of Blood are very face-saving, and they have assigned East Asia, North Asia, Southeast Asia and other places such as Huaxia District, Dongying and so on to him, with the Strait of Malacca as the boundary, it can be said that the East China Sea, the South China Sea, and even the Pacific Ocean can be counted as his back garden.

I love that Black Widow and Baron Flame share the American continent and the surrounding seas, with an obvious focus on the interior and the Atlantic Ocean. The Blood Duke and the Black Widow shared Europe, Africa and other places. South Asia, West Asia and other places are used as buffer zones, each according to its own ability.

Obviously, there is no such thing as a free lunch.

Lu Yao put away the map and smiled meaningfully: "I don't think you will take the initiative to give me such a big benefit, right?" ”

The Black Widow smiled and nodded happily: "I'm glad you weren't fooled. Yes, we can give up the countries east of Malacca, including Southeast Asia, in the hope that you can open up trading. ”

"Lou ship?" Lu Yao understood in seconds.

On science and technology alone, the science and technology of the Han Dynasty beat the world. Especially in shipbuilding technology, even in the Ming Dynasty, the treasure ships that went to the South Seas seven times also had the shadow of building ships. It is also reasonable for the Blood Duke and others to give up their interests and only buy a building ship that can accommodate a thousand people.

The future is the Age of Discovery, and controlling sea power is equivalent to controlling the whole world.

However, the three brains banned gunpowder, so that the naval battles of players in various countries had to revert to the oldest ramming and jumping gang tactics. The huge building ship has the upper hand. Even if it is a ship, it is a circle larger than the ships of the Imperial era.

"Yes, we hope you can provide a batch of building ships and warships, and the price will definitely satisfy you." The Blood Duke nodded happily.

"You didn't want to go over and trade with someone else?" Lu Yao didn't answer directly, and asked rhetorically.

The three of the Blood Duke and the Black Widow exchanged glances, shook their heads and smiled, "We have our own set of evaluation methods. Based on our assessment, you are the best person to work with. Trust me, we're not short-sighted. We trust our own judgment. A suitable ally will bring us enough benefits. ”

"So let's talk about the price." Lu Yao smiled faintly and returned to the topic.

The four of them glanced at each other, and it was still the Blood Duke who spoke as a negotiator: "According to our assessment, the building ship belongs to the unique shipbuilding technology of the Huaxia District. But this large-sized warship had a number of weaknesses. For example, the hard sails used are not flexible enough. Another example is the lack of ramming angles, which loses the biggest advantage. It is a pity to imagine that there is such a huge warship, but it does not have enough weapons to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy. ”

Lu Yao smiled but did not speak.

There's nothing wrong with that. The building ship is equivalent to an ancient aircraft carrier, and its main role is not to ram enemy ships. The bow of the ship is square, which is more conducive to destroying the overall force surface of the waves, so as to achieve a balanced force on both sides, and ensure that the overly large hull will not capsize in the wind and waves.

"Of course, the advantages of the building ship are also obvious, and the larger hull can ensure more troops. So we considered the pros and cons and decided to give the price of three million gold for one ship. The Duke of Blood was very skillful in his words, and gave the price with a smile.

"As for medium-sized warships such as the warships in the Huaxia District, they are very much in line with the needs of the imperial era in all aspects. We can give the price of one million gold ships. Black Widow followed up with an offer for the ship.

"Price...... It's low. Lu Yao smiled and denied the offer of the Blood Duke and the others.

In this world, monopoly is king.

Monopoly technology, how can it be possible to get a cabbage price. With the urine of the blood duke and others, selling the warship at this price may be ridiculed behind the scenes as a turtle.

The faces of the four Blood Dukes were a little unsightly. In their opinion, the building ship and the warship are not the only ones that Lu Yao can provide. They believed that as long as the news was released, a large number of players in the Huaxia region would compete to bid and sell their warships at a cheaper price. If you contact various families in Huaxia District, there may be even greater discounts.

Friendship is friendship, and optimism is optimistic, but in business, you have already given up such a big benefit, but you still want the lion to open your mouth to rip off customers, and you really can't bear it.

"Ten million gold for each ship, three million gold for each ship, no counteroffer." Lu Yao smiled meaningfully and quoted his reserve price.

"Shameless." The black widow was furious on the spot, her pretty face was frosty, and she glared at Lu Yao fiercely.

This price was three times higher than their offer, and it was completely unacceptable. Unless the brain is in water, it is possible to agree to such an unreasonable sky-high price.

Lu Yao smiled without saying a word, got up and invited: "Please come with me, I will show you why it is worth this price." ”
