Chapter seven hundred and sixteen clues
"The freight cost alone is as much as 8,000 gold coins. Have they said what goods were on this trip?"
Lu Chen is still looking at her appearance now, and only the core senior management knows about this. Everyone else thinks that Lu Chen has taken 20,000 people to sea. But what they don’t know is that the 20,000 people are fighting hard at the [Magic Materials Islands and Reefs] that the Wolf Clan has not opened for several days.
For Lu Chen now, it is too big a problem to hide 20,000 people after some mobilization.
"No, but they said they had obtained a navigation chart that could go north to the Ram Kingdom. It is said that there were safe sea routes on the navigation chart. Those routes only needed to deal with storms, and the golden warships were enough to resist.
They said this was the first time to cooperate, and if it was successful, they could cooperate for a long time in the future. However... I discussed with three deputy ministers and several leaders of the business department, and we unanimously agreed that this was a big business. After my contact, those customers also allowed us to participate in this trade route, but the deposit for the ship could not be collected."
The Minister of Freight Department was quite tempted. If 20 gold-class warships were allowed to follow this trade route in the future, they would earn more than 10,000 gold coins in just one trip. This income alone would be enough for the Wolf Clan to support an elite 3,000-man legion.
"Oh?" Lu Chen thought something was wrong. If those customers were planning to plot against his wolf clan, even if all the 20 warships were robbed or destroyed, the mortgage worth 10 million deposit mortgaged by the customer in the wolf clan would be directly owned by Lu Chen.
This is not a loss for the wolf clan. With this money, Lu Chen can build another 30 gold warships. Moreover, the imitation products will be reduced by one level. Even if the golden warship is taken away by the enemy, the imitation they will not exceed the silver level at most, and it will not pose a threat to Lu Chen.
But when the Minister of the Freight Department mentioned that he used the warship deposit to invest in this trade route expedition, a flash of inspiration flashed in Lu Chen's mind. Perhaps this is the reason why the mysterious fleet appeared outside the seas of Linhai City!
"Is there any problem?" The Minister of Freight Department asked in confusion when he saw that Lu Chen had no further information.
Lu Chen shook his head, "I know the existence of the navigation chart. I was using NPC connections a few days ago to explore news about this. So I am now considering whether to invest in this trade path, or to open up our own business path in the future."
This is of course an excuse, because Lu Chen is not sure whether the freight minister in front of him was bribed by the enemy. It is difficult to buy a legion to rebel against Lu Chen, but if he buys someone to secretly make trouble, it is nothing more than a matter of hundreds of thousands of yuan or more than two or three million.
The Minister of Freight Department just said that he felt that this trade route has great profits, so he specifically communicated with customers about the investment, which is normal but not normal.
It is said that it is normal because this is what the Minister of Freight Department should pay attention to. If it succeeds in the end, he will also have a performance bonus. It is said that it is not normal because Lu Chen has already become suspicious and thinks it is just a coincidence.
It was as if the enemy was about to kill Lu Chen, and the salesman under Lu Chen suddenly asked the enemy, "I'm selling a knife, do you buy it?" Although this is within the scope of responsibility, how could Lu Chen not doubt it?
"Let me consider it, are those customers anxious?" Lu Chen glanced at the director of the freight department as usual. However, he had rich experience in games and was not good at psychology. He didn't understand the micro-expressions and other things mentioned in the TV series at all.
"Well... it's quite urgent. They have contacted the supplier and asked us to allocate 20 warships within two days. They started contacting this matter last week. With my arrangements in the past few days, I can get the fleet complete tomorrow."
The Minister of the Freight Department answered truthfully, and Lu Chen also saw the arrangement of the ship's schedule. The internal freight transportation of the Wolf clan no longer requires gold-class warships, but all are transported by silver-class catamarans. Many of the goods that customers originally needed to transport were divided into more than a dozen pieces and transported by silver-class catamarans. However, the escorted troops were allocated by the Wolf clan for free.
This minister is also capable. After the arrangement, not only is the freight order still in order, but even the cargo merchants who originally hired gold-class warships but now have silver-class catamarans have not had much complaints.
"Okay, let me think about it and reply to you within two hours." Lu Chen waved his hand and asked the Minister of Freight Department to go out to continue his work, but he began to ponder.
If this person had been bribed, the enemy would have known that Lu Chen had not gone to sea and had already returned early. With him in charge and they dared to act rashly, it means that the mysterious fleet is really powerful, so powerful that it can wipe out a fleet of 20 gold-class warships!
The Wolf Clan now has only 30 gold-class warships. The enhanced version of the gold warships will be built by the Wolf Clan for 10 days to fully build. If these 20 warships are destroyed in one breath, it will be a serious injury to the Wolf Clan, and it will even cause the business volume of the freight department to shrink by more than half!
But now the Wolf tribe is building 18 fortresses at the same time, and the capital chain is actually tight. Once several major businesses have problems, the construction period of the fortress will be long-lasting, and there may be a bad chain reaction.
"If you want to destroy my fleet...you must have that ability too!" Lu Chen's eyes chilled slightly. In order to lead the snake out of the hole, he finally chose a compromise method.
The customer originally said that the Wolf Clan could invest 10 million in 20% of the shares in this trade route. But Lu Chen chose to compromise and reduce the deposit of the warship by half, as long as 10% of the shares in the trade route.
This situation was beyond the expectations of Marshal Wild and Lu Fei. After they received the news, Marshal Wild couldn't help but feel suspicious. "Brother Fei, are you saying this poisonous wolf suspicious?"
According to their meticulous analysis and multiple plans, the wolf clan will take the bait at this point. A pure waterway, a trade route without any level, is a constant stream of money for the wolf clan.
If Lu Chen felt that the division was not enough, and it would be almost the same to want to get a few more, this was the judgment of the Wild Marshals. But Lu Chen did the opposite, which made them uneasy.
"It may not be. The Poison Wolf has gone to sea after all. Maybe he has no time to deal with these things, so he has left it to Yuwen Demon God to handle them in full. Yuwen Demon God is a person who is more steady than the Poison Wolf who likes to take risks."
