Chapter 952: Can you handle the overwhelming wealth?

"The largest shipyard in Tevram is mine. I have absolute say in this industry. As long as my family is willing to go there, it will be enough to support the shipbuilding industry in Usmer City." Parado said proudly.

Ryan Shipyard is not only well-known in the East Region of Despair, but also in the entire Falling Star Sea. It is one of the few that can produce five-masted warships.

"Tell me your conditions." Gavin has heard of the name of Ryan Shipyard.

Since Parado dared to guarantee it, he didn't worry too much about it.

Anyway, he has enough cards in his hand, and he doesn't worry about not being able to suppress those Sesk merchants.

"First of all, I will not move the shipyard there all at once, but build a new shipyard in Usmer City and inject capital into it bit by bit." Parado left enough room for retreat for himself.

This is equivalent to opening a branch in Usmer City.

If everything goes well, he will naturally keep his promise and move the main body of Ryan Shipyard there.

If there are other changes in the middle, he can easily withdraw, at most he will lose a sum of money, which will not cause a fatal impact on his pillar industry.

"I have a better suggestion, I wonder if Lord Parado wants to listen to it?" Gavin did not answer this question directly.

"What suggestion?" Parado's heart jumped, and he had an ominous premonition.

"Joint venture to build a factory, I will provide the funds for the shipyard, you will provide shipbuilding technology and mature shipbuilders, Lord Duis will provide the land, and each party will hold one-third of the shares..."

"Impossible, we want to hold shares alone and build a shipyard alone." Lord Parado refused without thinking.

What a joke.

Everyone knows that now Usmer City is your one-man show.

Isn't that one-third of Duis's shares yours?

The most core things are provided by yourself, but you have no say. What's the difference between this and selling Ryan Shipyard at a low price?

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, listen to me." Gavin said calmly, "I don't have shipbuilding technology, but I have something that the Lord City Lord doesn't have.

Have you ever thought about what kind of power would be unleashed if the skeleton cannon on the armed cloud ray was installed on the warship?

What would happen if those flutter bombs were thrown out or suspended in the water and those ships hit them when they were not checking?

I don't have any skilled craftsmen, but I have druids. If they join in the shipbuilding, do you think they will have advantages that ordinary people can't imagine?

And do you think the five-masted battleship is Is this the end of the shipbuilding industry?

If warships are reinforced with iron armor, do you think there is a future?

If we build that kind of super-large transport warship, equipped with the flying dragon army air guard, will it burst out with extraordinary combat power?

With my unique influence on the natural creatures of the Giant Valley, do you think I can get some unique wood that ordinary people can't get?

I don't think I need to brag about my relationship with the Leatherman Kingdom. Do you think I can get some magic support from those witches and integrate them into the shipbuilding industry? "

Every time Gavin asked a question, the teacup in Parado's hand shook uncontrollably.

Especially when it comes to skeleton cannons and flutter bombs.

The thoughts of the Lord of Parado involuntarily returned to the night that he would never forget.

That night when the artillery roared and the huge figure covered the sky.

Until now, everyone is talking about the terrifying power of the armed cloud ray.

Everyone subconsciously believed that as long as they controlled the cloud ray, they would control a powerful war machine that would be invincible on the battlefield.

But they overlooked a core issue.

Although the cloud ray was powerful, it was far from being able to influence a war.

What really made it invincible was the equipment it carried.

Move those equipment horizontally to a warship.

Parado dared to pat his chest and guarantee that the warship was also invincible on the sea.

Of course, under the same conditions, the armed cloud Yao is still more powerful, after all, one is an air unit and the other is a sea unit.

But the ship also has an advantage that the cloud ray does not have - as long as there is technology, it can be mass-produced.

The later problem made his brain crash directly, because these possibilities were beyond his imagination.

But if it was put on the other party, it would be more reasonable, because he did have this connection.

Gavin, with a dry mouth, drank the fifth cup of cloud tea in one gulp, and then asked leisurely: "Lord City Lord, do you still feel that you are at a disadvantage for holding one-third of the shares?"

"No, no, no." Parado answered repeatedly while wiping his sweat.

But this time he was not nervous, but excited.

He suddenly found that the things he regarded as treasures were not taken seriously by others at all, but just used as a springboard to impact better ones.

It's not that they don't have the ability, but they don't want to waste too much energy on these basic technologies.

He is not the only one who masters this basic technology. Not to mention the far away, there are at least two families in Tevram who master it, but the scale is smaller than his.

But the technology mastered by the other party is indeed unique.

As long as one of the many assumptions given by the other party is put into action, it will have a huge impact on the shipbuilding industry and naval warfare mode.

Even if it is one-third, it is a huge fortune.

If he didn't catch it, I believe countless people would take advantage of it.

"Since you won't suffer any loss, I'll treat it as your agreement." Gavin looked light and airy, as if he had made an inconsequential decision, "You can tell me the second condition."

"This... that..." Parado choked for a long time, and finally said with a wry smile, "The General is superior to others in every aspect, even when it comes to cooperating in building a factory.

My little cleverness is nothing in front of the General. "

The following conditions were all prepared around the control rights and preferential policies of the shipyard.

As a result, Gavin's joint venture to build a factory eliminated all these problems.

Duis said empathically: "We think about things on a different level than the Commander. It is normal for this situation to occur. I hope we can have a happy cooperation in the future."

In the face of absolute interests, the previous nastiness and contradictions are nothing.

Parado patted his chest and promised: "I will select the best shipbuilders as soon as possible and send as many of them to Uxmail City as possible."

His intestines are now full of regret.

If he had known that what Gavin was talking about was so high-end, he would have asked the other party to drive out these maids no matter what.

it's good now.

In a few hours, all the big businessmen in Tefram City will know about this.

I'm afraid that when the time comes, everyone, whether related to the shipbuilding industry or not, will want to get involved.

Even thinking about it with his buttocks, he knew that this was definitely intentional by the young commander.

Because the more people are interested in this matter, the more beneficial it will be to the other party.

Only when there is competition can we lower prices better. This is common sense that every businessman understands.

"Then I'll replace the wine with tea and wish our cooperation a success." Gavin raised the tea cup in his hand and said.

The cloud tea has begun to fade, just like most of life, this is the dullness of life.

The person who gave this tea its meaning is definitely a master of philosophy.

This artistic conception adds a lot of color to this tea.

"I wish our cooperation a success." Parrado and Duis said in unison.

"Now can you tell me why you came to see me earlier?" After finalizing the purpose of his trip, Gavin asked about Parado.

"This..." Lord Parado's eyes swept over the maids. It was obviously a relatively confidential matter and he was unwilling to guard a group of spies.

Gavin did not force it, but turned his head and said to the tea maid Su Su: "There are seven levels of tea, which correspond to the seven realms of life. First bitter, then sweet, and then return to plain. Good tea has a good mood.

I'm going to drink your tea today, and I'll do something for you.

If you have any needs, let me know. "

"The master is kind. It is Su Su's honor to serve the master. Su Su has nothing to ask for." The tea maid replied with a low eyebrow.

"Really?" Gavin obviously heard a bit of confusion from this.

"Now that the General has spoken, you should speak boldly. I believe that there are not many things in this world that can stump the General." Parado helped.

The tea maid hesitated for a few more seconds, and then said cautiously: "If possible, Hong Xiu and I want to go to Klonte. We are still the master's maids and will serve you for life. We just want to stay with our own people."

Hongxiu is the cook of this mansion, another Xianglong maid.

"I wonder if the city lord is willing to let him go?" Gavin did not answer directly, but asked in a joking tone.

After all, these maids were provided by Teflam City, and he didn't spend a single penny on them.

Lord Parador immediately expressed his position: "They are the maids of the General. You have absolute autonomy. As long as you agree, I will be responsible for sending people to Klonte."

Compared to what they discussed, the stay of the two Xianglong maids was just a small issue.

They didn't expect these maids to get any top-secret information from Gavin.

There is a lot of information, even Gavin actively released it through them, such as this time they jointly opened a shipyard.

"Well, the matter is settled like this. You two pack your bags and go to Klonte to report. If I have a chance, I will go to Klonte to taste your tea and cooking skills."

Gavin did it completely based on his mood, without any clear purpose.

If anything, it means that he really likes the other party's tea art and wants to have more opportunities to taste it.

And he didn't come to Teflam City very often. Relatively speaking, he stayed in Clont for a longer time.

"Thank you, sir." The tea maid knelt down to salute, her words choked with sobs.

To Gavin, this was a trivial matter.

For her, it is truly a life event.

A person who appears thousands of kilometers away from the country must have a complicated life story of his own, usually a very tragic one.

Returning to my hometown in this life is a luxury, and being closer to the people I know well is a comfort.

"You all can go down." Gavin waved his hand and dismissed all the maids.

When the tea maid left, her footsteps became noticeably lighter and more cheerful.

After everyone had retreated, Gavin asked again: "City Lord, can you speak now?"

"Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that my people discovered three cloud rays." Parado said lightly, but the joy between his eyebrows could not be concealed no matter what.

The armed cloud ray is a strategic weapon that attracts the attention of countless people.

Although without those unique weapons, the power of the armed cloud ray will be greatly reduced.

But if it is equipped with a magic crossbow, it will also be a powerful armed transport aircraft, and all forces are salivating.

However, the number of these super-giant monsters has never been large, their camouflage ability is super strong, and their whereabouts are even more erratic.

Finding them is a very troublesome problem, and it depends on luck.

"Three?" Gavin couldn't help but look sideways.

Of course, he knew the difficulty of searching for such super-giant monsters. So far, he only had three adults in his hands, plus eight cloud ray eggs that were still hatching.

Parado actually found three at once.

How proud is that?

Did he make a mistake? He is a hidden talent, is he the chosen one of the goddess of luck Tymora?

"A family of three, an adult cloud ray and two small cloud rays." Parado added, "According to our original agreement, as long as the commander helps me control the adult cloud ray, the two small cloud rays will replace one, as a reward to the commander."

Gavin offered these Cesk merchants a one-for-one exchange price.

The ownership of an adult cloud ray is exchanged for the control of an adult cloud ray.

Other payment methods cannot be used instead, and the payment can only be made before the goods.

That is, the ownership of the first cloud ray belongs to Gavin, and the second cloud ray belongs to the Cesk merchant.

The conditions are not overbearing.

But those Cesk merchants can only accept it with a pinch of their noses, because Gavin has a monopoly on this.

As long as you can find a way to control the adult cloud ray, you don't have to look for him at all.

So, there is the current proposal of Parado City Lord.

In the long run, it is indeed a bit of a loss, after all, those are two potential adult cloud rays.

But as a businessman, Parado City Lord pays more attention to short-term interests.

He will be the second force to control the cloud ray. In the next war, there will be many places to shine and make a lot of profits for him, and he will be involved in many business fields that he could not get involved in before.

Gavin glanced at his own dimension space, and after confirming that there were enough fairy bracelets, he said directly: "Lead the way."

He did not give a direct answer.

Who knows how small the small cloud ray mentioned by Parado is.

If it is the kind of half-grown one that can grow up in a few years, there is still room for this deal.

If it is the kind that has just been hatched, he will lose a lot.

Although the growth rate of this super giant monster is not as long as that of a dragon, it is not shorter than that of humans. It takes 20 to 30 years to grow up.

This also means that their lifespan is long, up to hundreds of years.

The Lord of Parado did not waste any words and directly took Gavin and Duis to turn the teleportation ring.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Gavin immediately heard the familiar roar of the wind, which was the roar of the cloud ray.

Looking around, there was an empty field around, and there was no end in sight.

Not far away, there were two scarred half-grown cloud rays trapped on the ground by magic and ropes, without a sound.

Above his head, an adult cloud ray kept circling, making angry roars, and repeatedly tried to rush down to rescue the trapped little cloud ray, but was blocked by the invisible magic barrier.

The fat face of the Lord of Parado had an embarrassment that could not be concealed, "The difficulty of catching this adult cloud ray alive is far beyond our expectations. We can only take this tricky method to tie it up. I wonder if the commander is willing to make this deal."

In his previous shipyard transaction conditions, he was going to add all three cloud rays.

He wanted to use this to get Gavin to help tame one big and two small.

Who would have thought that Gavin would not take the usual path, and the conditions he offered directly made him hold back his stomach.

He could only proceed with the original transaction method.

"Deal." Gavin agreed readily after seeing the size of the two little cloud rays.

They are small compared to adult cloud rays.

In fact, the wingspan is twelve or thirteen meters.

It will be an adult in three to five years.

And it is not that they cannot be used now, but the carrying capacity is small, only a few dozen tons.

In some special missions where the carrying capacity is not very large, it is still very useful, such as deploying special operations forces.

Small size has its advantages, which means that they are more flexible in turning in the air, the displacement during the lifting process is smaller, and the lifting speed is naturally faster.

By analogy, the same is true for the cloud ray eggs that are hatching.

I dare not say that they can be put into use immediately after hatching.

It is still no problem to raise them for a year or two as a special flying mount - the size of cloud ray eggs is amazing in itself, and they are at least medium-sized after hatching.

"You stay away, wait a minute, I can't take care of you." Gavin said, and directly spread his energy dragon wings and took off.

He is familiar with subduing cloud rays.

He only needs to do three steps.

The first step is to climb on their backs.

For Gavin, this was the most difficult part before.

These cloud rays are more flexible in the air than expected, and their telekinesis ability is also prepared for this.

Being smashed by the objects they telekinetically control is the least of their worries, and they are afraid that they will directly use telekinesis to treat Gavin as an object and throw him out or put him in their mouths.

In the first three times, Gavin let the dragon army cover him and create opportunities for himself to climb on the back.

But now, he has a better choice.

When the anxious cloud ray tried to use telekinesis to control Gavin and throw this hateful human out.

Gavin suddenly burst out with a blue light.

Bang!

The invisible energy collided violently in the air, directly causing a mental explosion.

It is not only the cloud ray that possesses mental energy. Gavin is now also a powerful psychic.

With the improvement of his professional level.

Gavin has a deeper understanding of spellcasting.

Whether it is a spell or a psychic power.

It is just a kind of art.

It shows the magic power or psychic power in a certain fixed form.

The most essential thing is the energy itself that you control, especially the psychic power.

Psychic power is not limited to psychic power. As long as you want, you can change it in a thousand ways. You can form a new art or simply use the psychic energy itself.

Just now is a kind of use of psychic energy.

Use your own psychic energy to intercept and destroy the enemy, so as to achieve the purpose of destroying the enemy's psychic power.

In a sense, this can be called a new psychic power-psychic power interception, referred to as soul interception. (End of this chapter)
