Chapter 638: Shang Fang's Sword
The refusal of Annan and other countries was completely expected by Ouyang Shuo. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoHe sent envoys to Annan and other countries, the purpose of which was the same as resolutely fighting back against Annan's naval division, that is, to seize the moral high ground.
In the future, when the national war starts, Ouyang Shuo can have a showdown with them with confidence.
Five of the nine ASEAN countries are willing to develop trade with Shanhaicheng, which is beyond Ouyang Shuo's expectations. In this way, the third step of the ASEAN strategy drawn up by him was successfully implemented.
The maritime trade of Shanhai City is about to usher in a new era.
*************
May 8, Lion City.
With the signing of the five-nation trade agreement, ASEAN affairs have finally come to an end for the time being. The "enemies" and "friends" of ASEAN countries have gradually become clear, clearing the last obstacle for the opening up of Seongju County.
It has been more than ten days since the fall of Star Kingdom, and domestic players have long calmed down from the surprise. As a result, the call for Shanhai City to open up Xingzhou County is also getting higher and higher.
It was in this context that Ouyang Shuo invited the leaders of the [Shanhai Alliance-Guild Alliance] to the Lion City to discuss important matters.
Blood Romance and other presidents are naturally happy to go. There was a precedent for Yashan City to follow, and they knew in their hearts that if Xingzhou County was opened, as allies, the guilds would have priority.
They guessed correctly, this time Ouyang Shuo was going to play a big ticket.
"Look, everybody!" In the middle of the hall, hanging this ASEAN map, Ouyang Shuo held the Chixiao sword, pointed to the dozen or so small islands around Xingzhou Port and said: "Although these islands are small, they are extremely close to Jinzhou Island in Java, and they are definitely the best PK zone for national wars." ”
When the blood-colored romance heard this, his eyes lit up, "Can the [Bloody Mercenary Group] lease a small island?" ”
Xie Siyun and the others looked at each other and smiled, the blood-colored romance was worthy of being a PK maniac. I also want to know what kind of militants are in the [Bloody Mercenary Group] with a leader like Scarlet Romance.
As soon as the blood romance came up, he wanted to lease a small island, thinking that he was ready to fight a protracted war.
Ouyang Shuo glanced at the blood-colored romance, but shook his head, without waiting for the blood-colored romance to speak, and then said: "These small islands are only sold and not rented. ”
"Sell?" Scarlet Romance almost jumped up, looking eager, "Tell me quickly, how to sell it?" ”
"Each island costs 100,000 gold coins. After the guild buys it, it is equivalent to a concession built within the territory, and has absolute management rights over the island, and Shanhai City will not interfere. Ouyang Shuo said.
"Is that true?" The blood romance is unbelievable, and this condition is too rich.
100,000 gold coins to buy a small island where only one small village can be built, it seems a bit expensive, but in fact, it is not a loss at all. You know, there's no guild in China that can have a garrison in the wilderness.
That alone was enough to make the guild go crazy. Not to mention that these small islands are of great significance, in addition to being used as a forward base for national war PK, they can also be used as a springboard for ocean adventures.
For adventure players, such a small island is simply an adventure paradise.
If the guild has a little economic acumen, it will definitely make a lot of money by opening the island to other adventure players, and then building some well-targeted shops such as pharmacies and equipment repair shops.
"Naturally. If you have any needs, Shanhai City also provides one-stop engineering construction services from design to construction, how about it? Ouyang Shuo's smile was already full of copper smell.
The lord who loves money is back!
"Brother Wuyi is really refreshing, I bought it!" The blood romance did not hesitate any longer, feeling that Ouyang Shuo's actions were very suitable for his temper, and he came directly to the map, ready to choose the island.
"That's it!" Scarlet Romance took a fancy to a small island in the outermost part of the city, and said that he paid 100,000 gold coins on the spot, which was really bold, and then asked: "How to calculate the cost of project construction?" ”
"The exact cost depends on the design, and we'll talk about it in more detail later. Even if you want to build the island into an impregnable fortress, the Shanhai City Construction Division can do it. In addition, if you need artillery, Shanhai City is willing to sell it at a friendly price of 1,000 gold coins. Ouyang Shuo said.
"All artillery is sold?" Blood romance is speechless.
"As long as the price is right, there is no non-sale of weapons and equipment in Shanhai City." Where does Ouyang Shuo look like a big lord now, he is purely a philistine businessman, and he has completely penetrated into the eyes of money.
"Hiss~~~"
Even the blood-colored romance couldn't help but be shocked by Ouyang Shuo's arrogance.
Of course Ouyang Shuo wasn't crazy.
These miniature islands can be exchanged for the operation of Shanhai City, and they can naturally make a lot of money, definitely more than 100,000 gold coins. The problem is that, in this way, Shanhai City needs to bother to maintain order on the island.
I also want to know what kind of players will be when they land on such an island. They either devour and kill, or they like to pursue extreme excitement and enjoy this PK pleasure hovering on the verge of death.
Either way, it's all unruly.
Managing such a player, the local garrison of Shanhai City is very inexperienced, and if it is not done well, something will happen. And once it is forcefully suppressed, it will affect the reputation of Shanhai City, which can be described as thankless.
When the islands were sold to the guilds, the situation was completely different. The island belongs to the guild, and there is no need for Ouyang Shuo to say that the guild will bother to manage the island well.
Guilds are the true connoisseurs when it comes to managing adventure players. No matter how rebellious the player is, under the rule of the guild, he can only obediently obey.
In this way, it is a real win-win situation.
As for the sale of artillery and other weapons and equipment, in addition to making money, it is necessary to strengthen the defense of the island. Building an impregnable fortress is not just talking.
Only when the island is as stable as Mount Tai will Sin Chew Port not be harassed by players from Java.
In other words, the adventure players stationed on the island actually act as the most "loyal" iron-blooded guards in the Lion City, which are not only free, but also very hot-blooded.
Such a good thing cannot be found even with a lantern.
It's not that Ouyang Shuo is treacherous, it's not that he is despicable, even hot-blooded patriots take advantage of it. He is just making reasonable use of resources to achieve a win-win situation for all parties.
The calculation could not be more shrewd.
And no matter how Ouyang Shuo calculated, the guild leaders would not give up such a great opportunity. There are only twenty islands on the outskirts of Xingzhou County, and even fewer can be used, only fifteen or sixteen.
The geographical location is even more rare.
The [Shanhai Alliance-Guild Alliance] has expanded to twelve guilds, except for [Trace] who does not participate in it, the rest must be bought. In this way, eleven were removed at once.
There are only four or five left for the other guilds in China, and they are the worst kind. For the remaining islands, Shanhai City will be auctioned in the form of a public auction, and the highest bidder will win.
"Even if it's [Sword Qi Vertical], as long as we are willing to pay a high price, we will sell it!" Ouyang Shuo let out bold words, and he really planned to do so.
In the face of the national war, we can't care too much about internal grievances.
If you exclude the ten major guilds such as [Sword Qi Verticality], [Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry] and [Jinyi Guard] because you don't belong to the same camp, it would be too petty.
From now on, Ouyang Shuo will slowly create a consistent atmosphere in China. In this way, it is also imperceptibly strengthening the role of the leader of the war of other countries.
Of course, when it comes to the domestic hegemony, how to fight has to be fought.
"Inside and out!" It is Ouyang Shuo's style of doing things.
According to Ouyang Shuo's preliminary estimate, through the sale of islands, engineering construction, and the sale of weapons and equipment, Shanhai City could earn at least two million gold coins this time.
After a national war, the profit of Shanhai City on the surface has exceeded seven million gold coins, which is basically the same as the value of the treasure of the North Bay. Otherwise, war money is the fastest way to accumulate wealth.
Of course, this is Shanhai City.
In any other territory, without a sailor who dominates the ocean, it will not be able to play such a war game, and it will be drowned by ASEAN countries in minutes.
************
Send off the guild leaders, and the affairs of Xingzhou County are basically over. A few days ago, Pei Ju had already rushed to the Lion City to take office, and Ouyang Shuo didn't have to worry about the specific government affairs of Xingzhou County for a long time.
On the day Pei Ju took office, Ouyang Shuo prepared a big gift for him.
After Secretary Lang Bai Nanpu announced the edict of appointment, and after Pei Ju thanked him, Ouyang Shuo took out the captured Divine Soldier Starlight Sword and said solemnly: "This sword is called Starlight, and it is the name of Xingzhou County. The person who holds this sword will take charge of Xingzhou County on behalf of Ben Hou, mediate ASEAN, and raise the prestige of our mountains and seas. Now I will give this sword to Aiqing, and I hope that Qingqing will cherish it. ”
Although Xingzhou County is small, it is the first county in the territory to hang overseas. Both the symbolic and the strategic significance were extraordinary, and it was a great test for the county guard.
It is precisely because of this that Ouyang Shuo gave the sword today.
In ancient times, there was the sword of Shangfang, and now there is the sword of starlight.
In ancient times, the sword of Shang Fang was a symbol of supremacy, which was originally the emperor's imperial weapon, given to the old ministers, and gave them privileges.
"I'm here!" It is an overview of the essence of Shang Fang's sword.
In a sense, the Starlight Sword plays the role of Shang Fang's sword. Xingzhou County is isolated overseas, and it is difficult to consult the Southern Xinjiang Protectorate in time for some things, and the county guard must be given the right to make decisions on the spot.
The Starlight Sword is the embodiment of this privilege.
It is conceivable that Ouyang Shuo's act of giving the sword will be a good story in the future.
When Pei Ju heard this, he solemnly knelt down to thank him, and his expression was excited: "Weichen thank you, and you will definitely live up to the hopes of the prince." As he spoke, he stepped forward respectfully, took the Starlight Sword with both hands, and solemnly placed it on his waist.
As an experienced veteran, how could Pei Ju not understand the meaning of this sword. Such a favor from a prince is the highest honor for a courtier.
Even if he is as calm as Pei Ju, he will inevitably be excited.
Xingzhou County has Pei Ju, and Wu has fireworks and demons, but there is no worries!
