Chapter 54 Confidence (Please read on)

"I'm making Uncle Bede laugh. It's too difficult to train such a wild beast." Gavin smiled helplessly at Bede.

"Amazing, amazing, already very amazing." Bede said with a thumbs up, "I have never seen such an obedient and smart half-ogre. Brother Gavin, where did you pick up such a treasure? ?”

Although Bede was talking to Gavin, his eyes kept following the half-ogre, and even a fool could see that salivating look.

This is simply a natural caravan guard. Taking such a person on the road will not only greatly improve the safety factor, but also assist carriages and carry goods at critical moments.

"Luckily, he delivered it to the door himself." Gavin said lightly, looking at Bede as if he didn't see it at all.

Bede felt itchy and couldn't help but said: "For the sake of our deep relationship, Uncle Bede has a small request..."

"Not for sale." Gavin directly interrupted Bede's next words.

"How do you know what I'm going to say?" Bede said in surprise.

"What you want to say is written on your face." Gavin said extremely seriously, "Other businesses are easy to talk about, but the people under me, let alone kobolds, even if they are goblins, I will not sell them. If they are If Uncle Bede wants to do business with me in the future, please don’t touch my bottom line.”

The experience of being a slave in his previous life made Gavin deeply hate the slave trade.

Not to mention that he wouldn't touch this business, he would kill every slave trader he saw and there would be absolutely no room for negotiation.

"Haha, just kidding, just kidding, how could Uncle Bede take away what Brother Gavin loves? No, it should be said to be talent. After all, Brother Gavin wants to take root in a dangerous place like Rockland, so he needs this kind of power. Guard, haha..."

Bede once again showed his tactful side and made a haha, rounding up the somewhat awkward atmosphere. He took Gavin's arm and walked in, "Come on, it's not just me who's here this time, except for a few important people." The rest of the brothers who went to Sambia to ship goods have returned. It seems that Brother Gavin is very popular among us old friends, and they all think highly of you.

Facts have also proved that Brother Gavin is more capable than we thought. We brought a lot of good things this time, but we did not have enough understanding of the development speed of Brother Gavin, and we were not fully prepared for some goods. "

"When Bede said this, he was a little out of touch. The fact that you are here is the greatest trust in me, and I am satisfied." Gavin said with a smile, "Besides, what we are doing is not a business, but In long-term trading, if you don’t bring enough this time, you can just bring enough next time.”

"Brother Gavin still has a long-term vision. It's my lack of understanding. Blame me, blame me, blame me." Bede expressed his sincere appreciation.

Gavin has a unique charm. As long as you chat with him for a few words, consciously or unconsciously, you will ignore his somewhat immature face.

Bede, who did business with him, felt even deeper.

When you think you are facing a silly and naive rookie, you will find out in the end that you are the silly and naive one, and they can easily steal from an old businessman like you. .

When you think that the other party is a naive little fox, when you turn around, you will find that they have already built a foundation that many people have spent half their lives unable to build. They simply don’t take those trivial interests in their eyes. They take a broad view. , is the longer-term future.

When you think of him as an old fox who has been practicing for many years, he is generous, but he is also like a newbie who keeps giving you benefits, which makes you feel a little embarrassed. When you wake up and think about it, , people have already earned enough benefits from you.

But it makes people unable to get even the slightest bit angry, because they have clearly planned your interests for a long time.

For this kind of person, in addition to admiration, I still admire him.

It was precisely because they had figured this out that those crafty businessmen took the risk of making an empty trip and gathered in Heijing.

They still want to take a gamble.

As a result, they won the bet.

In just two ten days, Gavin opened up the situation here. Not only did he own a large kobold tribe, but he also captured a powerful half-ogre barbarian.

Based on this alone, it is no longer important how much profit they make from this trip. What is important is that they have dug a new mine, a new mine that is worthy of their additional investment.

Bede and the others stayed in the Black Well tribe for three full days.

For two days, under the leadership of Gavin, we walked around the mountains surrounding the Black Well tribe.

Of course, they were not visiting the scenery. The rocky land was not a remote place, but it had nothing to do with the beautiful scenery.

They were observing the terrain around the Black Well Tribe, assessing the value of the place and how much energy they should invest here.

As for the result, looking at their smiling faces blooming like chrysanthemums, it’s obvious.

Just like they originally assessed Gavin - unlimited potential.

On the last day, we sat together and listened to Gavin’s ideas.

Just like last time, Gavin still didn't make too many promises, nor did he reveal all his plans. He only gave a rough introduction to the future development and expansion direction of the Black Well Tribe, and left the rest to the businessmen to figure out on their own. .

When Bede and his team came, they were in a huge group, with nearly 30 trucks. But when they left, the trucks were empty. Only one-third of the trucks were filled, of which only half were iron ore produced by the Black Well Mine, and the remaining half were scraps looted from half-ogres and surrounding tribes.

But all the merchants had satisfied looks on their faces, giving people a feeling of making a fortune.

The goods they brought back were barely enough to cover their capital for this trip, but they opened up a new business route. If they wanted to make real money, they had to wait until Gavin's kobold tribe developed to a certain extent.

Before that, it was all a period of additional investment. This was the price that had to be paid if they wanted to make a lot of money. These old merchants knew this very well.

Investments that did not lose money were what all merchants liked the most.

These merchants, both companions and competitors, all kept their calculations tight, thinking about what and how much goods to bring next time, how many promises to get from Gavin, which city they should go to this time, and who to sign supply and sales contracts with.

The arrival of Bed and his party gave Gavin enough confidence.

This confidence is multifaceted.

On the one hand, it is the opening of sales channels.

The promises of Bed and his party are one thing, and their actual appearance is another.

If he dug a large amount of ore, but there was no merchant to come to the door, would he be asked to carry the ore and look for sales channels all over the world?

It is not impossible, but it is too energy-consuming and time-consuming, which will seriously slow down his expansion speed in the rocky land.

On the other hand, it is provided by food.

Twenty-five of the thirty large trucks were carrying food, although many of them were old grains with hair and mold.

But for the Black Well Gnolls who had just escaped poverty for a few days, it was good to have something to eat. They didn't care whether it was new or old food.

Besides, Gavin wouldn't steam bread or steamed buns for them, or stew them with vegetables and meat. There was no big difference in taste between new and old food.

With these food as a backing, Gavin's relatively conservative expansion speed could be appropriately accelerated.

To be more precise, with these food, Gavin didn't need to do anything. He just needed to pile them there, and the Gnolls would come to him.
