Wolf King

When Xiao Yun was in high school, his classmates invited guests to sing K. He found that the most active people at the scene were not the ones paying the bills. The two sides don’t rely on just eating and drinking. They are obviously classmates in the same classroom, but the same group of people will have so many completely different performances outside the school gate. At that time, I thought it would be interesting if people formed a group.

In the third year of high school graduation, after the exams, everyone gathered wildly. A group of drunk high school students clashed with social people. The most active students withered before the fight started. The students who paid the bill wisely called the police immediately and called the KTV manager to resolve the conflict. At the age of 18, Xiao Yun realized the importance of the core leader in the small group to the group... Even a very loose group of high school classmates who "broke up" after graduation can't do without such a core figure.

Entering the small society of the university campus, Xiao Yun's feelings are even deeper. Whether it is an interest group, COS or game hobby group, or even a student union cadre group, the leader's influence on the group is very obvious.

So when he was a sophomore, Xiao Yun bravely joined the student union, dealt with a group of student cadres, learned social experience in advance, or in other words, learned how to steal lessons from other people's experience in organizing teams, and by the way, figured out how to be a good student. Under the premise of following the rules, it is legal to deceive people-don't underestimate the college student cadres. There are all kinds of intrigues among these people. You put on the style of the president of the country.Xiao Yun, who was in the student union, met such a "minister", and he didn't know where he learned the official accent. If anyone called him without bringing out the title, he would spray you bloody, and give it to the girl. The average-looking female students who scold and cry can form a reinforcement platoon.When such a strange thing appeared in the boring university life, Xiao Yun naturally played wits and courage with others with great interest, flattered and carried the sedan chair around the corner, blowing up the vanity of the student cadre infinitely, and then sent him off with a smile This guy who got [-] million in the student body entered the society...

Then, there is no more, this guy’s parents spent hundreds of thousands and countless human favors to stuff people into state-owned enterprises. When Xiao Yun graduated, this person was almost unemployed for almost half a year... The childish set of student cadres The ridiculous self-centered theory wants to be popular in state-owned enterprises?Dreaming.

After graduating from university, Xiao Yun is deeply familiar with the idea of ​​the official position of the people in the country. He knows that Xiao Yun, who is from his own family, did not squeeze the single-plank bridge of the state-owned enterprise at all, nor did he follow the trend to join the so-called rising Internet industry that was booming at that time. I happily submitted my resume to a provincial construction company.

The work in the provincial construction is hard and poor. It is very difficult for Xiao Yun who has no background to stand firm in it, but this job is not without benefits. The industry has to deal with the local government, and it is a mess in the middle. The man is a building material dealer who is showing off all ghosts, and the contractor below is as cunning as a hairless fox, which can be said to be a very training man.After working for several years and accumulating some basic knowledge and the minimum network (you can get a business card if you are familiar with it, it is considered a network, at least if you know how to contact someone), Xiao Yun simply resigned and devoted himself to the building materials industry and home decoration. He has been working in a dark place for almost ten years, from a errand-running salesman to a regional manager, except that the chief officer of the head office is always looking for work for him, basically there is nothing bad about him——

Then, he crossed over.

The past is untouchable, but it's not floating clouds. At least Xiao Yun's ten years of experience in the workplace has not been wasted, and he can roughly know what to do and what to do.Look at these five people standing in front of him, caravan?merchant?Hehe... To call Angel Baby a strong woman in the shopping mall can only deceive elementary school students, and junior high school students will even roll their eyes at you.

However, Qingyan was able to bring people into the tribe, which shows that these five people at least have no bad intentions, otherwise Qingyan would have torn them apart--the snow werewolf has no defense against humans, and the cat clan of Qingyan is different. The seemingly harmless appearance of the Xinmao clan, when he came to the grassland, put the trading place in the cat clan tribe. He is a cat clan warrior after all, and he can't be sweet for nothing.

So Xiao Yun didn't expose it on the spot, smiled and nodded to these five people as a compliment, and said to Qingyan: "You help me take over, I will greet the guests."

"Okay." Qingyan nodded and walked towards the composting field.

"Ah Yue, help me find Hongye, Languo, and Maomao. If they can't get rid of them, it's fine. If they can be supported by others, they can come to the prefabricated room to find me." Xiao Yun said again.

"Okay." Ah Yue turned her head and left.

"Guests, please follow me." Xiao Yun politely turned to the five humans.

Carlisle nodded to his companions, and took the first step to follow.The cub had no doubt seen through that he was the leader, and it would be rude to put Dan in his place.

Darren took a step forward and followed Carlisle closely. Yumi was a little slow to react, but she also reacted quickly and walked to the middle of the team.In case of a conflict, she, a mage, is an important combat force.

Xiao Yun led the way nonchalantly, and he had never been cowardly with the Green Dragon, so naturally he didn't need to think about what kind of gentleman would not stand under the wall at this moment—at worst, he would just roll off and turn into a wolf, and he could still hold people hostage how.

Bypassing the shed area from the other side, Xiao Yun saw that the door of the mushroom shed was only blocked by reed poles for ventilation, and he felt confident.

Slowly walking into the center of the tribe, Hongye and the others who Ah Yue ran to call also arrived, and they all looked at this group of human guests curiously... Caravans only get close to cats when they come to the grassland. It was the first time I saw a human being other than Thrall.

The ten collective dormitories lined up side by side amazed the group of humans. When they got closer, they found that the walls of these houses were also integrated stone surfaces (that is, cement walls). Although it feels strange to have no windows, this The fact that a building material used to pave a square can be used to build a house itself shows the practicability of this building material.

The cement floor, most of the floor is covered with blankets, and there is only a set of tables and chairs in the corner. A group of five people can somewhat regain the confidence of visitors from a civilized society. This kind of crude interior decoration can't even be seen by the country nobles. Go up; when Ayun told them to sit on the blanket on the spot, the faces of the five did not change, and there was no shortage of complaints in their hearts that they were indeed backward tribes, and the guests were only allowed to sit on the ground.

Xiao Yun sat down cross-legged, let Hongye and the others sit behind him, turned around, and pointed at the set of tables and chairs: "It's not that we Snowwolves don't know how to treat guests, that set of tables and chairs is for the occasional visitors next door. The green dragon lord who visited the door prepared it, the dragon clan is very possessive, let him know that he will be unhappy if someone else takes his seat."

Carlyle et al.: "...(o 言 o)"

It's very common to eat at the same restaurant with a certain boss and use it as bragging capital to raise your own value... If you move here, it's just to use that ruthless scumbag waste.

"Your tribe really has a wide range of friends." Alchemist Wenqing glasses man smiled and flattered him, didn't he, there are cats and dwarves, and now tell them that there is a green dragon who is a guest... …

Xiao Yun nodded with a smile, unceremoniously accepted the flattery, and his eyes fell on Carlisle who was sitting honestly in the middle: "Guest from afar, what should I call him?"

Carlisle met Xiao Yun's gaze, hesitated for a moment, and then vetoed the previous negotiation exercise - this cub's eyes were completely different from those of the snow werewolves, although he doubted how a cub could be like a tribal leader He is as qualified to make decisions as he is, but Carlisle really doesn’t think it’s right to lie and fool around at such an important moment of establishing a first impression, so he pondered for a while before formally introducing himself: “My name is Carlisle. Harvey Ferdinand is the head of this mercenary group, we were employed by the Southern Kingdom Merchant Group, and we came to the grasslands to find new trade routes and sell spices and cotton cloth produced in the Southern Kingdom."

This self-introduction did not lie, but it was obvious that what was disclosed was only for superficial purposes.Xiao Yunchao understands that the idiotic behavior of strangers confessing to each other as soon as they meet cannot be done by adults, but as a negotiating party, it is naturally necessary for him to find out the other party's details as much as possible during the conversation, so he showed a slightly surprised look:

"Having a middle name... Monsieur Ferdinand was a nobleman?"

The first time Xiao Yun talked to Thrall, he knew that names in this world should not be called indiscriminately, let alone just look at something and take it as his surname—ordinary people have names but no surnames. Only with the social recognition of the place can a surname be passed on to the next generation.Before the Han Dynasty, Chinese civilians did not have surnames. It was Qin who destroyed the six kingdoms and launched the military merit system to slap the face of the family, and the common people gradually had surnames.

The middle name is even more particular. For those who have a middle name, the source of the middle name can be traced back: the children of noble families have made great contributions to the country where they live, were awarded by the king, or worshiped a particularly awesome teacher, Being considered an excellent student by the teacher, giving a middle name to express approval, or being baptized by some high-ranking priest and getting the baptized name-to use a simple analogy, the name and name of the family at its peak were only scholar-bureaucrats can get up.At the end of the Han Dynasty, the rites collapsed and the music was broken. At least the one who could call out the name had to be a distant branch of the Han family like Liu Xuande.

Carlisle was speechless for a while... It's strange that he doesn't understand the rhetorical trick of asking questions to make a routine, but it's really inconvenient for him to answer, so he just nodded in acquiescence.

Xiao Yun's eyes were a little wrong at that time...

In ancient China, the ancients had to brag about their roots when they met. For example, after Uncle Liu Huang said that I am King Jing of Zhongshan when he saw people, it is not fashionable to brag like this in modern China, but the business unit and position that he is handed out must be printed on the business card Come out; this guy came up to report his middle name and pretended to be a low-key, he put on airs to let this guy brag about his family background, but he didn't continue to pretend, what's the matter?

There can only be two possibilities: one is that the family of this guy is in decline, and it makes me cry when I talk about it, and I don’t like to mention it;

With a flash of thought, Xiao Yun smiled and put this aside first, and continued following the other party's words: "Mr. Ferdinand, what products does the business group that hired you have to sell on the grassland?"

Carlisle quickly motioned for Yumi to take out the white cotton cloth and spices placed in the space ring...

Note that the so-called spices do not refer to luxury goods such as incense and essences and fragrances, but edible spices. Seasoning spices are often hard currency in the period when productivity is backward and infrastructure construction and transportation are backward. Ginger and garlic are also considered spices... Italy a few years ago Do you still remember the story of the mafia frying garlic?

Xiao Yun saw that the first spice that the female mage took out was olive oil... nothing wrong with it. Agronomists have developed high-yield genetically modified soybeans, and before soybean oil is popularized to thousands of households, the most common edible vegetable oil is indeed olive oil .

Then the female mage took out ginger, garlic, Chinese prickly ash, onion, two kinds of air-dried peppers, fennel seeds, star anise, orange peel, nutmeg, etc., which were divided into small bags of food spices.

As soon as the samples were shown, Xiao Yun believed in the sincerity of these people in doing business, and at the same time deeply doubted the origin of the identities of these people—the mercenaries hired by the business group to open up business routes. There is nothing wrong with this setting , but to what extent does this business group have to spend a lot of money to hire such a group of mercenaries who can't be seen as a businessman? Make the deal-or-no decision for them?

Even if these people really succeed in opening up business routes, the business group that hired them won't make much money... The original caravan took away a large number of bent-horned cattle with that kind of black mud and green salt. "Breaking" the rules and selling high-quality edible spices, isn't this a way of making money for bad people, and the pig's brain can't beat the dog's brain?

The dumping of goods by the Chinese all over the world has forced the isolationism of the big bosses on the earth to rise...

Xiao Yun looked at the samples lined up silently for a few seconds, and when he looked up at Carlisle again, his business smile disappeared.

Carlisle: "??" Wasn't it fine just now, this is?

"I believe that your merchant group does have the sincerity to do business with the grassland people. But I also want to tell your merchant group frankly that we grassland people will not fight for others." Xiao Yun said bluntly.

"Ayun... Sir, our employer is just a businessman and has no intention of provoking any war." Carlisle quickly discerned.

Xiao Yun shook his head: "You want to take food from the caravans that monopolize the grassland trade. I can understand that if a small bag of green salt is exchanged for a full-grown benthorn ox, the whole grassland is no different from a gold mine. But , you...does the business group behind you really have the strength to send bulk commodities to the depths of the grassland?"

Hongye, Languo, and Yu looked horrified, their IQs were above the standard line, but if Ayun hadn't pointed it out, they would never have imagined that there would be so many things behind the deal!

Carlisle's heart trembled, and the way he looked at Xiao Yun suddenly changed...

"Forgive me for asking, how much voice does your mercenary group have, and can you make decisions on the transaction amount and price of the business group?"

Carlisle bit the bullet and said: "The president of the business group has given me all the agency rights."

Then he saw Ayun's eyes full of sympathy...

"Forgive me to ask again, Mr. Ferdinand, do you have a certain status in your country, so that your political opponents want to get rid of you but can't do it directly?"

Carlisle et al & Hongye: "??"

"If you bring a sample that destroys the existing grassland trade market structure, and give you all the agency rights to let you go deep into the grassland and die wherever you want...even your king can't say a grievance for Mr. Ferdinand. You Have you ever been attacked after going ashore? Now that you have few people, you have turned to be flexible. In the future, when you go ashore with your goods, can you still escape the pursuit of your competitors?" Xiao Yun tutted repeatedly.The original business group had no strength and could not monopolize the grassland for so long. It was so easy to grab meat from the crocodile's mouth.

Carlisle's face turned green on the spot, and his companions looked at him strangely...

Cutting off people’s wealth is like killing their parents. The Yankees on the earth are so angry that they force the younger brother to detain the Huawei crown prince. Relying on commodities and such a small amount of manpower, they want to rush in to grab the cake. Either the person who came up with this idea is too naive. Or they are counting on using the grassland tribes as gunmen.Xiao Yun was still very tempted by the cotton spices they brought, so he didn't say anything too harsh. He just went around and revealed that he was not a fool. It depends on whether this guy has this kind of understanding—he is a savvy when making a deal. Both hands agree, but in order to reach a deal and affect his farming, there is no need to talk about it.

Carlisle's two hands on his knees were clenched and then loosened, loosened and clenched again. He realized that he had really taken it for granted, and rushed in rashly without considering all the possibilities—— How many fools are there in this world!

Everyone has said that the grassland tribes are being mined by the Lamia business group as a gold mine. Do you still expect others to do everything according to his ideas!

With a wry smile, Carlisle had to honestly admit: "The southern kingdom has inland merchant ships, and our fleet can safely deliver the goods to the grassland coast..." It's hard to say when the cargo ships can dock. The patrol team of the Miya Merchant Group.

Xiao Yun raised his eyebrows, that is to say, these people from the southern kingdom are indeed unable to send the goods deep into the grassland: "Then, your plan is to set up a trading place on the coastline?"

Carlisle... What else can Carlisle say, he can only nod his head, the part that originally wanted to "give up the profit" is like the grassland tribe accommodating them - the initiative has been taken away by this cub!

The most important thing is that with such a conversion, they have to repair the pier by themselves and protect their trading points on the coastline by themselves!This increase in investment is not just one or two points, Carlisle's scalp is about to explode when he thinks about it.

Xiao Yun didn't understand the meaning of his embarrassment at all, he only expected to spread the cost to the customers when he was in business, even if the wool came from the sheep, he had to pay attention to what he wanted and what he wanted!

In fact, Xiao Yun is already planning to borrow other people's hens to lay eggs... Goods are called commodities when they are in circulation, and they are garbage that takes up space if they are not in circulation. If the caravan is sent to the depths of the grassland like that, then there will be more operable processes in the middle.

After roughly estimating the benefits that his family could reap from this "trade route", Xiao Yun's facial muscles relaxed, and he put on a business smile again: "Mr. Ferdinand, I think it is necessary for us to carry out matters related to grassland trade with your business group. Talk about the details in depth, first of all, I would like to know about the pricing of the goods, what is your expected price range?"

Being willing to talk about the details means that the other party has shown a willingness to cooperate. It stands to reason that this means that Carlisle's goal has been achieved, but he just can't be happy...

Preliminary bargaining—of course, it was unsuccessful. Carlisle realized that relying on the middleman to change hands would reduce profits, and keeping the coastal trading point under the siege of Lamia would greatly increase the cost, and naturally increased the expected profit to Thirty times; and Xiao Yun will definitely not accept this kind of "lion's big mouth". If your wholesale price is so high, how much difference can we make among us? The grassland tribes are very poor, and your spices are luxury goods after all, not salt That kind of just-needed good!

That's right, after Xiao Yun hinted a few times not to touch the salt market, Carlisle understood what he meant. It's best to leave some room for competitors when entering the market in the early stage, and fight and kill as soon as they come up, and do business as fart?

Xiao Yun still needs a few more years to get up and farm in peacetime!All the tribes are poorer than others, but the tiger tribe is so rich. How did the grassland pattern come about? Is the protection fee paid by the Lamia business group to the tiger tribe for nothing?

Although the Lamia business group played tricks on the grasslands, such as being close to the cat clan, giving money but alienating the tiger clan, but when their own roots were touched, they also did things like seeking skins from tigers~

Hongye, Languo, and Yu looked confused, while Darren, Dan, Yumi, and Wenqing alchemist were trembling...

"Carlisle actually expects me to directly negotiate with the prairie people on his behalf. In his eyes, am I so wise and mighty?" Dan Crowdy secretly asked Darren.

Darren: "..."

After a bit of verbal haggling, the two sides reached a consensus on win-win cooperation, conducted in-depth friendly exchanges, and each expressed their own opinions, Xiao Yun said: "It is definitely difficult for both of us to make a hasty decision on such an important matter. Human friends rest here for a few days, let's talk slowly, and let us snow werewolves represent the grassland people to show the friendship of landlords."

Carlisle wiped his sweat. He was very tired and really needed to calm his nerves, so he immediately agreed.

Xiao Yun glanced at the sky outside, and said with a smile: "It's still early, why don't some human friends visit our tribe? Our snow werewolves are a race that is very willing to get along with humans, and I personally hope that My people can communicate and get to know a lot of friends who came from afar, and establish an unbreakable friendship..."

"Of course, of course!" Dan couldn't help himself and raised his hands excitedly, "Mr. Ayun, my name is Dan Crowdy, I like your tribe very much, please give me a chance to be friends with the people of your tribe! "

"This is great." Xiao Yun clapped his hands, "Come on, Hongye, come and show this Mr. Claudie around, and introduce more of the clansmen to our human friends."

Dan Crowdy didn't give his companions a chance to catch him at all, jumped up and rushed out...

Xiao Yun's eyes fell on the Wenqing glasses man and Da Lun: "You two, Lan Guo from our tribe will guide you to visit. Would you please do me a favor?"

The man with glasses Wenqing and Darren looked at each other in blank dismay, and got up one after another...how can they refuse!

Look at the last beauty again: "This..."

"I want the one with the scar on the brow bone, the one with the longer hair and the braid!" Yumi Hockley almost threw herself on Xiao Yun.

Dahe's most handsome face in the tribe suddenly appeared in Xiao Yun's mind... The corners of his mouth twitched, and he turned his head and gave Yu a wink: "Maomao, take this lady to find Dahe."

"Is his name Dahe? Ah~~It sounds so nice~~" Yumi followed Yu with her hands in her hands.

Finally, he looked at Carlisle with a smile: "Mr. Ferdinand, there is also a guest from the human kingdom living in our tribe..."

Carlisle Harvey Ferdinand was expressionless and extremely calm in his heart. Yes, there was nothing wrong with the contempt hidden behind the seemingly polite smile of this cub. The team he brought out was completely unreliable-he himself After working so hard to cover up his identity, Dan and Yumi would have sold him out!

Uh... In fact, Xiao Yun really didn't think about it so much. The dumb-headed knight let Hongye deal with it casually, the husky in the skin of a beautiful woman is the same, and the man with green glasses and Darren are absolutely forced to play tricks from Lan Guo who has practiced closed-mouthed meditation. If nothing else, his breakthrough point is still on Carlisle...

The author has something to say: Uh... not all the snow werewolves are handsome, but only the big river thief is handsome, so handsome that it makes people lose their judgment. Ayun has been deceived by her appearance and temperament, and has been trained by her for a long time , I really gave up because I couldn't stick to the wall.

Yumi didn't feel anything when she saw Ashan and Ayue, yes.
