Chapter 345 Cooperation and Support
Although Baron Hamet, who went to Wubei Territory for investigation, has not returned yet, the cooperation between Roning and Vitorino can be finalized in advance.
Vitorino was skeptical about Roning's previous proposal, but now the other party has transformed into the lord of Rapids Island, and the location of Rapids Island is very good.

After all, he has been the lord of Pointed City for many years, and he still has some knowledge. He vaguely guessed whether His Majesty the King wanted to use the Wushan Family to balance the Screaming Island.
As this speculation sprouted, Vitorino naturally became more and more interested in cooperating with Roning.
This may be an opportunity for the Dennis Family to grow, and he must seize it.
After a discussion, the content of the cooperation between the two parties was summarized into three main points:
First, he needs the Dennis Family to provide him with enough craftsmen and professionals to build a simple dock and a formal port in the future.
Secondly, he needed the Dennis family to train him and provide him with experienced captains, sailors and other related personnel.
Finally, Roning needed the Dennis family to build a dock on the Rapids Island. He didn't want to keep buying warships and cargo ships from the Earl's family on the Screaming Island.
The Dennis family was quite good at these aspects, and Viscount Vitorino had no objection to the three points of cooperation.
It was just the way of cooperation that the two disagreed.
Roning originally wanted to use the form of "buyout", such as paying the other party a certain amount of gold coins to let the other party complete these things for him.
But the other party's offer moved him-
The construction of the port requires 300,000 gold coins, and the construction of the dock and the transfer of shipbuilding technology and training require 800,000 gold coins.
In addition, Roning also needs to pay the workers' wages and provide food and accommodation.
Although the other party also said that only a deposit of 300,000 was required in the early stage, and the interest and installment repayment would be calculated later.
But Roning was still deterred by such high costs.
Fortunately, there is a second way of cooperation.
Vitorino can provide all of the above for free, and Ronin only needs to provide food and accommodation for the workers.
The condition is that after the port and dock of Wubei Territory are built, Pointed City can participate in the subsequent management and permanently obtain 50% of the profits.
Ronin can accept this method.
After all, the investment can be shared with others, and he is also completely ignorant of the management of the port, so he needs to introduce professional personnel.
However, he has a lot of opinions about the share of the profits.
The help and support of Pointed City is certainly important, but these are all based on Ronin creating conditions.
Whether it is Wubei Territory or Jiliu Island, this is his territory.
Moreover, he is very confident in the prosperity of Wubei Territory's port. In that case, Vitorino wants to take 50% of the profits permanently, which is too much!
In the next two days, several rounds of negotiations, the two sides reached a consensus with difficulty.
Ronin can give 30% of the profits of the port;
Ronin only gives 10% of the profits of the dock and shipbuilding of Jiliu Island.
At the same time, it was agreed that Roning would have absolute control over all matters, which is often referred to as a veto.
Vitorino was obviously not satisfied with this result.
However, he saw that Roning had an attitude of "if you don't support me, I will do it myself", so in order not to miss this opportunity, he could only agree.
Fortunately, although the investment is large, the return should be high after success.
If it is really possible to suppress the Screaming Island in the future as Roning said, so that the ships in Port Dennis will not be harmed, such an investment is completely acceptable to Pointed City.
As for the veto power Roning mentioned, Vitorino didn't care much.
After all, the port and the dock are in other people's territory, it is difficult for him to control it. Instead of wasting energy, it is better to make money.
After the cooperation was finalized and the contract was signed, Vitorino immediately took action. The surveyors have been sent to Wubei Territory, and the next step is to recruit workers.
And Roning also needs to organize people to build a place for workers to eat and live after determining the location of the port construction.
If nothing unexpected happens, a new city will appear there in the future.
After leaving the Pointed City, Ronin and the other two came to Wushan Castle under the escort of Melonika.
The bodyguard uncle also successfully completed his mission and could concentrate on adapting to the strength of the meteor level.
Lulans was very pleased with the achievements of his grandson. In addition to his concern, he also asked about the construction of the Rapids Island.
Ronin did not hide anything and told Viscount Vitorino about the cooperation.
"Cooperation with the Pointed City is indeed a wise move."
It was November again, and the temperature was gradually dropping. Compared with last winter, Lulans seemed to be more afraid of the cold this winter, and had wrapped himself in a blanket early.
"Cooperation leads to win-win results."
Luo Ning said with a smile: "If I develop everything by myself, I may succeed in the end, but it will take longer. Attracting others to invest in my Wubei Territory will bring faster returns."
Lu Lan Si nodded and reminded: "Cooperation and win-win results are good, but don't take it lightly and let others sideline you."
"I understand."
Lu Lan Si looked at his eldest grandson and couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity that the help I can provide for the Screaming Sea is limited. How to deal with the Fleming family depends on your ability."
I am afraid that handing over the Fifth Knights to Ronin is the greatest combat help he can provide. The rest, he can provide is quite limited.
Perhaps when he dies, the huge amount of gold coins invested in alleviating the pain caused by the Soul Devouring Surge every year will be released, and Wushan Castle should be able to form more knights.
But by then, it will be Wiggins who will inherit the title of Marquis, and the other party may not support Ronin like he does.
Maybe I need to transfer more resources to Ronin before I die.
Rulans thought so in his heart, but he did not forget to remind him:
"I want to remind you that the ancestors of the Fleming family had magicians. As a magic family, they have a deep foundation, and they are not short of magic cannons and magic weapons. Before they are absolutely sure, they cannot easily conflict."
Ronin nodded solemnly, he deeply agreed with this.
Fortunately, he is now taking the route of keeping a low profile, and there will be no open conflicts at present.
"Leave these to me, Grandpa, you just need to rest assured to take care of your health, there is still a long time in the future."
Hearing this, Rulans laughed, he knew that he didn't have much time.
"Didn't you just mention that you would develop a city near the port? Is there a plan?"
Roning scratched his head. "It's just a concept for now, and there is no specific plan. However, I am very confident in the development of Wubei Territory. In the future, this city will at least reach the level of Niujiao Bay."
"That's a big city."
Lulans also looked forward to Roning having such a new city. "The planning of a big city must be careful. When the time comes, I will ask your father to provide you with a group of urban planners to assist you."
"Thank you, Grandpa!" Roning said gratefully.
Although Roning didn't know much about city planning, he also had his own ideas.
Not to mention being on par with modern cities, at least there should be new breakthroughs in details such as spatial layout and land use, drainage design and sewage treatment, so that the city looks new.
However, this is a long thing that needs to be discussed and practiced step by step.
After a short stay in Wushan Fort, Roning came to the back mountain and rode Carlos directly to Wubei Territory, and handed the Cloud Horse to Tom and David to take back.
This time, it took nearly two months before and after leaving. When I returned to the territory again, I should have gained a lot. (End of this chapter)
