Chapter 1957 Occupying the Forgotten Land

% of the world's force? Li Cong really didn't know what to say at the moment. According to the news that Prince Zheng gave him, each of the four empires only accounted for 10% of the world's armed forces, but they were all upright empires. Yes, you, an underground organization, can actually have such abilities. I really don’t know what to say about you. If you don’t stop this Thunder Gate, maybe their strength can really rule the entire continent in the future. This is absolutely impossible Yes, Li Cong himself wants to rule here, even if he doesn't collide with him now, he will definitely have this opportunity in the future.

"Basically everything I know has been told to you. Even if I go back, they will knock us out from far away. It is impossible for us to know where the specific headquarters is. To be honest It has been a full year, and they will never believe us at all. Because of this, their headquarters has always been very mysterious and very safe. Their current development model will definitely have a big impact in the future. Useful, I estimate that in another year, their military power, including others, can already account for about 15%. At that time, they can easily kill an empire and use this empire to expand themselves , including various forces in several other empires, occupying the entire world is just around the corner." Christio said, from his heart, he also does not hope that there will be such a person to rule the entire continent. It is a kind of backwardness. He is a bad person, but being a bad person also has a little conscience of his own.

"Well, I believe what you said is true. If you really only have one year left, I think you should have a good life. I will meet your conditions. As long as you don't go around saying that you are from the Thunder Gate, it will be difficult for others to find you. Even if you are a member of the Thunder Gate in the Southern Empire, you will Having said that, you don’t know your own people, and they won’t know them, but what about your forces in the Forgotten Land? It’s been developed for a long time, and now it’s over?” Li Cong Said.

"Otherwise, what else can I do? You said that, but I remembered something. You also know that there are three forces in the Forgotten Land. Two hundred years ago, there was actually only one force, and after a great war Stepping into the current three-legged situation, the leader is naturally there, we all rely on ourselves to fight, I suspect that the third-ranked sharp gang may also be controlled by them, because both of us If there is any collision, these guys will order me to stop fighting one by one, and the sharp gang members will also stop. I also thought about these issues when I met the boss of the sharp gang. It's just that we dare not It’s just for sure, and I don’t want others to know our identities. There’s nothing to worry about now. If you want to find out information, you can ask him, but I don’t think he knows much more than me. We are almost all The same person, but his remaining lifespan is much longer than mine. Only you can figure out what it looks like.” This guy thought of another thing, and he said that he was ordered by his superiors to say The people below should not fight against the members of the sharp gang, but the people below reported to themselves that they also meant the same thing, and even the two gangs wanted to join forces to fight against the boss, but the boss was too strong, and the two of them together could not fight. It is not someone else's opponent.

"hehe.

You are very good, at least you are very cooperative with the person who is right with me, don’t worry, I also have people who study drugs, I think you may continue to live, at that time I will give you your life up. "Li Cong said with a smile, and there was hope in Christio's eyes. This guy has been tortured all these years. If he can continue to live, and he doesn't need to live like this in the future, then it is naturally the best I must have wanted to live.

"Since you don't want to continue to run this place, I think I'll take over here. How many people do I need to prepare to take over your forces?" Li Cong said directly, not because he spoke boldly, but because the guy in front of him had already I don’t want to continue to do things here. If I want him to leave directly, there may be chaos in all the sites and people of the Canaan Regiment. In the end, it may be the Thunder Gate that is cheaper. Since I have already made the Thunder Gate my enemy It is impossible for me to let them take advantage of me. This must be done, and the Forgotten Land will definitely become a logistics base for fighting in the future.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter. If I just enjoy it, everything here is honestly worth tens of billions of assets, but it's all in this place. This is a concentration camp for criminals. People live in this place for a short period of time. There may be some happy places, even strange ones, but after a long time, being with a group of people with problems is absolutely unwilling to continue here. I mainly have eight branches under my command, each of which is a The eighth-level fighters are in charge. I can call them to a place for a meeting. Your people just do it. If you have a way to let them hang around with you, that’s fine. Although they are vicious, they still understand the rules. Yes, but there is one thing, you can’t trust them too much.” Christio said, after so many years, he doesn’t have a few reliable brothers under him, mainly because some people here have changed too much. At that time, the Eight Great King Kongs under my command didn't belong to these few people, but they have been them for the past few years, so there are rules, as long as you want to challenge them, it's fine, as long as you have the ability, it's fine.

Li Cong nodded, as if he also understood how to deal with these people, and he was about to dispatch the SS. An eighth-level soldier really couldn't keep his life under such circumstances, but adding another An eighth-level monster is probably fine. An eighth-level monster and an eighth-level fighter are no problem even if they meet a ninth-level fighter. It's just that Li Cong doesn't have many eighth-level fighters. It needs eight at once, which really gave Li Cong a bit of a headache, but thinking of the Forgotten Land, it can be said that no one cares about it. The territory of the Canaan Regiment is definitely not small, as long as it is managed well As far as this place is concerned, it will not only be the best place to attack Thunder Gate in the future, but it will also be an absolutely good rear area for the entire Cao's Commercial Bank, which Li Cong sees very far away. A lot of people don't see it.

The two of them relaxed after talking about the main things, especially Christio. This guy really feels like he has been reborn. Although he has not yet arrived in the Southern Empire, he can feel it. This Li Cong must be a man who keeps his word. A person, such a person does not need to consider other things when they say it. He will definitely give him everything he needs, and he may let him continue to live in the future. Thunderbolt, this thing that has controlled him all his life, he really doesn't want to continue to have any connection with this thing now. At this moment, what he thinks about is his life in the Southern Empire. He still has a hundred years to enjoy.

After knowing all this, Li Cong's actions were also very fast. Li Cong had already sent his airship troops over and transported a large number of masters. These people came to replace Christio's subordinates. They were all outlaws. Li never thought that he might be able to control them. There were eight eighth-level fighters and more than sixty seventh-level fighters in the Canaan regiment. There are also hundreds of sixth-level fighters and thousands of fifth-level fighters. Li Cong plans to replace them all. The rest are guys below the fifth-level fighters, and some ordinary people. Li Cong doesn't care about these people. It is impossible for them to make any waves. Apart from obeying, these guys. There is no way around that, and Li Cong still has his own self-confidence in this regard.

As for Christio, this guy is also very cooperative. He spent half of the two days taking away all the things he could take away. He sorted out nearly hundreds of tons of things, not some precious metals, just like this and that. Li Cong was surprised when he saw the good things. I really didn't expect this guy to have such a net worth. If all these things were converted into money, they would definitely be worth more than 100 million silver. Many of them are rare things. Li Cong really wanted to buy them all at once. , but I can't say this myself, if I say this, I will be taking advantage of the fire, if I don't say anything else, we have to be careful about this reputation, we can't be said that, we can't afford to lose that human.

For the rest of the time, Christio would summon some of his subordinates one after another, let them come to him, and then be imprisoned, many people would not see them, and then the boss' guards would bring some new faces I went to some halls in various places and said that they are the new hall masters. Although there will be many people below who are not convinced, but many people died within two days, and each of the Canaan group understands how to do things. Yes, they know that the Canaan Mission has changed now, the former ones are completely gone now, and the current bosses have all been replaced. Although it has not been officially announced, the small bosses from bottom to top They have been replaced one by one. Even if the original boss has some ideas, it is impossible to give orders now. There are still some people who are loyal to Christio who are ready to rebel, but they are quiet after being reprimanded by Christio. Come down, anyway, in two weeks, Cao's House of Firms took over the Canaan group completely.

After the Canaan Group was taken over, it also changed its name. No one thought that in just two weeks, the well-known Canaan Group would become Cao's House of Firm. The other two were naturally very different. They don’t understand why this powerful chamber of commerce in the mainland suddenly came to their place. It is said that everyone can see it here, and they think that this place is something that others don’t want to come to. A place, otherwise, how could it be called a forgotten place? Many people have forgotten it because they made up for it. Suddenly, such a big business firm came.

The thing that surprised them is yet to come. The Canaan group has just stabilized, and immediately sent a message to the people of the Heroes Association, telling them that they will not pay the 400 million silver that they have to hand over every year. If you are not convinced If so, you can go to the headquarters of the Canaan Regiment to seek justice, and another is to ask someone to go to the Fengli Gang. They hand over the . The silver is fine, of course, you don’t have to pay it, we can go and get it ourselves, anyway, there are two choices, it depends on what you will do.

At the beginning, the people in the Xiongshi Guild thought that Cao's Chamber of Commerce was crazy. Such a chamber of commerce had such guts. The branch is also preparing to go up and call some strongholds of the original Canaan Mission for military education. Who knew that four or five people came by the door before they left the house. They were dumbfounded. Damn, these are all ninth-level fighters with so many ninth-level monsters. At a glance, there are only a dozen of them of. No matter how powerful the ninth-level fighter is, at most, he will be tied with the ninth-level monster, good guy. This Cao's firm is very powerful.

The people of the Xiongfeng Society are completely convinced now, they can't beat them, and they have saved us a lot of face, didn't they not ask us to pay, this is already very face-saving, if If we are also asked to pay, we have to pay now. Before the Xiongfeng Club lived on collecting money, the following industries can say nothing. Now I have to live on my own all of a sudden, this feeling is very bad.

As for the third-ranked Fengli Gang, they have no intention of resisting at all. They all understand very well that Cao's House is now much stronger than the previous Canaan group. We will not do such things if we are uncomfortable with ourselves. Maybe he will lose his head. As for what Christio said, they are related to Thunder Gate just like the Canaan regiment. Li Cong hasn't thought about it that much for the time being. Just take it slowly. If Thunder Gate knows The situation here is the best, anyway, it may be difficult to find them by yourself. But if they come to find me, then I really welcome them. Now the monsters in the Warcraft Mountains are almost on the verge of a blowout, all because of Li Cong's alchemy last time. The eighth-level and ninth-level monsters in it came out one after another. If they were all in the Warcraft Mountains, it would not be very good for their growth. Li Cong now has at least a hundred thousand eighth-level monsters that can be dispatched. This is definitely a very powerful force.

The thousands of high-level fighters dispatched are basically all SS soldiers, all of whom are seventh-level and eighth-level fighters with a monster. This combination is also the most powerful in combat effectiveness, and their cooperation is also very good. Not bad, for example, the combined combat power of a seventh-level fighter and a seventh-level monster can definitely match four to five seventh-level fighters. The main reason is that after a long period of cooperation, the two have already found two people. The best way to attack, so they will have the current combat effectiveness.

Although thousands of people are nothing to the entire Cao's firm, but in terms of masters, although the three training camps are already producing masters at the fastest speed, and they have also hired some in the mercenary market. , but now there is still a big vacancy for so many inland areas. Li Cong can only spend more money to hire. Now it is different from when Li Cong first came. At that time, the human resources It is far less expensive, even the seventh-level fighters like Liu Qing brothers and sisters cost two million silver a year at most, and now the price has more than doubled, and the seventh-level fighters cost ten thousand taels of silver a year Yes, the sixth-level fighters also have more than ten thousand silver. These are some simple tasks. If their lives are in danger, they may add more money. If Li Cong hires more, his own cost will increase a lot.

This is something that can’t be helped. Ever since the business of black potion masters began to spread throughout the continent, the price of hiring masters has risen rapidly. I don’t know if it’s really dangerous, or the people of the mercenary alliance are deliberately promoting it. Anyway, now This is the price of this manpower, and there are many people who just follow the trend, and don't know what their minds are thinking.

At this time, Li Cong was considering whether to add two more training camps. Now these training camps can provide Li Cong with more than five-level fighters, six-level fighters, and seven-level fighters every year. As for the eighth-level fighters, as for the ninth-level fighters, there was only one, and he never came out again. The training of ninth-level fighters is not that simple. Since the one that came out, Li Cong has also conducted many researches. But none came out.

If another training camp is built, it can increase by at least 25% every year, and it will take about a month to complete, but there will definitely be many tests for the trading house, because the people in charge of purchasing at the trading house need to In fact, Li Cong also thought about growing these medicinal materials by himself, but he never did it, and many people said that these medicinal materials seem to be inferior to wild ones if they are domesticated. In order to improve the success rate, Li Cong can only use wild ones. Li Cong can naturally ask the Warcraft to help him with some medicinal materials in the Warcraft Mountains, but if he doesn't have them, he can only buy them.

Now Li Cong arranges more than one person to purchase the medicinal materials used in several training camps every year. Even if it is like this, it is only enough, and there is nothing redundant. If the training camp continues to expand. In the future, more people in this field will have to be added, which is still a problem. Just increasing people is secondary, whether there are so many medicinal materials is the main thing.

"Actually, I think this problem can be solved. Lord, according to the news from our investigation department, the Southern Empire also has a lot of medicinal materials. It's just that we haven't bought them in the Southern Empire. Now our trading house is already a After entering the Southern Empire, it must be easy to purchase medicinal materials. I want to set up two more training camps. The two empires in the Northwest and the Northwest should step up. The Southern Empire has started to purchase. If the two aspects are combined, there will be absolutely no problem. Discussing this matter with Li Cong, he himself came out of the training camp, and he knows how staggering the consumption there is. The training funds of an eighth-level fighter need nearly 100 million silver in various medicinal materials and magic cores from the beginning to the end. of. If there is no strong silver support, it is absolutely impossible to come out, but it is definitely a profit to be cultivated. An eighth-level fighter needs at least tens of millions of silver a year, and the lifespan of an eighth-level fighter is 200,000 years. Yes, Li Cong took advantage of this no matter what.

Another problem is the weapons of these guys. Although Li Cong knows a little about refining equipment, how can Li Cong have the time to deal with this thing now, so he mainly relies on purchases, and it will be more difficult to purchase now. It is already difficult to have so many weapons and battle suits, and it is really difficult to add so many.

"What I'm saying is that there are difficulties in all aspects. But this can't make us stagnate. This is not our style. You pass on this suggestion and let several first-class managers express this matter. Give your opinion, and then make a budget and plan, I can do it after reading it, and it’s best to finish all these things within half a year.” Li Cong’s work is still the same as before, vigorous and resolute, as long as it is determined by himself , we must do it quickly and do it well.

"It's no problem, sir, the bosses of tens of thousands of forces, large and small, in this Forgotten Land want to meet with you. In the past, we were the bosses of the Xiongfeng Club here, but after our strong attack Everything here has become our biggest, and how much protection fees they charge each year is all up to us." He said that the three major forces will meet once a year to formulate such and such plans, and the business opportunities here are Absolutely a lot.

"This is natural. About how much did they earn in the past?" Li never knew much about the things here, so it was inconvenient to give advice directly. It's better to see how they used to do it. A good reference.

"Master, in the past, it was mainly like this. The Canaan group and the Fengli gang faced the tens of thousands of forces, large and small, and then Xiongfeng would mainly face the Canaan group and the Fengli gang, and finally took the lead. The most important one is the Xiongfeng Society. He has an annual income of nearly 10 billion silver. The ones you rejected are only a small amount. The others have not passed through the headquarters. , I calculated, if we use the current income, we can get about 100 million silver here every year." Said, Li Cong really did not expect such a place composed of prisoners to have such a high income, but Li Cong He will definitely not be a satisfied person, he will slowly transform this place.

"We don't want to be that early bird. We don't care what they do. Don't expand our power too much. In addition to these, if we want to increase our income, we must follow market rules and compete with them. We will not do things, this is the main difference between us and them, expand our commercial strength, and slowly invade this place, I believe that after five years, there may not be any Sharp Gang and Xiongfeng Association here Already." Li Cong said with a smile, the three major organizations may not necessarily belong to the three major organizations in the future. Now Li Cong can use force to solve them directly, but his own losses will be huge, but if he does business with them slowly, that would be great, especially if the bank's affairs are done well, they will all They left here disheartened, because at that time everything here had nothing to do with them.

"Yes. Lord, we also followed your instructions. In the past few days, we have been promoting some of our news quickly, making people here believe that we are also a very powerful and large chamber of commerce in the Mainland, and let them They all store their money here, so that we can exchange their money anywhere. This is the most popular with them, followed by the airship business, and it is the most popular direct route to the Southern Empire. Welcome." He said with a smile.

"How much do you charge from here to the Southern Empire?" Li Cong asked.

"Ten thousand taels of silver." Said in a low voice, the good guy's is really not cheap, it's a bit too ruthless.

"Hehe. Double it, do it if you want to do it, and get out if you don't want to." Li Cong said with a smile, these people are some criminals, the money is either from robbery or corruption, if these people's money is not transferred If so, I'm so sorry for them. Anyway, this is what Lao Tzu’s business is for. There is only one quota per day. You can do it if you want to, and you can get it if you don’t. If you walk from here to the Southern Empire, you won’t be able to get there in fifty years, even if you drive fast. It will take three or four years. What's more, all of you are wanted criminals of the Northern Empire. It is impossible for you to go there. There is only one way. If you want to live a normal life, I have to go here.

I also immediately understood what Li Cong meant. I was really a bit conservative. These people have been looking for a way to get out of here all these years. Now they finally have a solution, they can leave if they want to leave, the money is enough, and they can do anything.

"There is one more thing, ask them to give money or bank notes, and don't want anything else." Li Cong said.

"Why is this? Master, some of the supplies are medicinal materials, and we need this." He said incomprehensibly.

"Hehe, with your brain, why don't you know how to be more flexible? Our pawn shop is about to open, and we can provide them with a one-stop service, and the price should be fair. The selling price is 20% lower than the normal selling price. Good things will become garbage when they enter the pawn shop. Of course, they just say it out of their mouths. Anyway, these guys are not good things. Don’t waste the money, and ask someone to select some useful people from the poorest people in the outermost circle, I am useful.” Li Cong is really calculating, and these people are unlucky to meet him.

"It's really what the Lord said. I have also seen the Forgotten Land. There are quite a few pawnshops, but the prices given by these pawnshops are really too low, mainly because there will be problems when they transport them. , These things cannot be digested locally, and they have to be transported to the city to be trampled. Otherwise, these things are wasted here. The main place for them to spend money is in the transportation and import. The customs fees are up, and these are also expensive for us, but compared with them, ours is much less." He said with a smile, just like a box of medicinal materials worth millions of silver, the value is Only at the price in the capital of the Northern Empire, you can use at most one-third of the boxes here, mainly because some of the things here are from improper sources, so it is impossible to sell them at the original price Generally speaking, pawnshops use one-third of the price to receive the goods. This is already a very good pawnshop. If you encounter some ruthless shopkeepers, the price may be reduced to one-fifth. Maybe, anyway, they all know that some people don't have any money when they come here, and they can't live a day without money in this place, so you will sell it at a lower price.

The goods collected at one-third of the price will be temporarily stored in some safe places, such as the warehouses provided by the three major powers. The cost of storage is very expensive. If you store it for a month, you can almost catch up. The price of this thing is one-tenth of the price, but there is no way, the warehouse of the three major forces is the safest place in the entire Forgotten Land, some other places may be cleaned almost every month, some Small and medium-sized forces themselves have been purged, so they won't think about any legitimate business, and they will gather their own people to rob others. Anyone wants to do business without cost. If this vicious circle continues, naturally no one is willing to put some valuable things in their homes, which is too dangerous.

Store it in the warehouses of the three major powers for a while, as long as they have accumulated enough goods, they will find a way to transport these things into the Northern Empire. Of course, it is impossible to blatantly . The Northern Empire government is not vegetarian either, and all the officials in this border area are very shrewd. They have to hold this quarter of the price. If they don't have this, they don't even think about it at all, so when these things are transported to the buyer, the merchant can get a profit of one million silver. Wan Yinzi is very good, there is no other way, so they will try their best to lower the price when buying, otherwise they may lose money, and they are also cursing the three major powers and the border of the Northern Empire in their hearts Officials are black, but those who sell things are actually calling them black. This is a reincarnation.

Now Li Cong doesn't have so many things to do with this operation. Li Cong left a lot of space rings. Not only can he directly transport some of his own goods, but he can also consign the things that others have stored in his place. Of course, this price is absolutely indispensable. We Just take 10% off your original price if you want to bring someone in. That's okay, as long as you can afford the money, we will help you with everything. It doesn't matter if the money you want to deliver is silver. Take out silver from the bank of any Cao's commercial bank in the empire. It's just that 30% will be deducted from you at that time, and you can only get 70% of the original price. This price is already very good. There was no such channel in the past, and many people know Li Cong is very black, but they can't help it. They all know that except for Cao's house, no one else has this business. So I can only choose this, otherwise their money may only stay in the forgotten land for the rest of their lives, and they have gone out, so what is the matter with the money staying here, but then again, If someone has a space ring, then we don't care about it.

As for the grain business of Cao’s Commercial Bank, it’s even better. There are people who come to buy grain everywhere in the past few days. In the past, the grain delivered by those small powers was not mixed with various things. Anyway, there is no pure grain, so no matter how you do it, you can get some sand. The grain of Cao's Commercial Bank not only tastes good, but also the price is fair, which is only two silver a catty, although it is a little expensive, But counting the weight of the sand sold by those people, the grain at Cao’s House is still cheap. They don’t have any sand. The first batch of 10,000 tons of grain that arrived was sold within two days. Of course, some forces here also I saw the opportunity and started robbing. This has nothing to do with Li Cong and the others. We sell food. As long as it is inside our gate, you paid the money and didn’t send it out. It’s our business if there is one grain missing. If we go out of our gate, even if it's just one meter outside, it's nothing to do with us being robbed.

In response to such robbery, Cao's House is going to launch a door-to-door delivery service next month, and will collect money according to the distance. This business is very popular, and many people are asking why it doesn't start now. Well, I also replied to these people. Now the manpower is not very complete, so let's talk about it later.

Li Cong also thought about improving the law and order here. After implementing it in a small area for a period of time, there was no improvement at all. It's no wonder that the people here are all criminals. It's impossible to be like ordinary people. How many years have left these billions of criminals? These guys who can eat and drink, it's not easy to guess in their minds.

They also selected a lot of strong guys from the outermost guys who couldn't eat. They went to Cao's house with the idea of ​​being able to eat, but when they ate their first meal, they went to Cao's house. They are definitely the most loyal subordinates of Cao's House of Firm. The genetic medicine will make them obedient. Li Cong first formed four brigades among them, and then slowly expanded them. What is needed here The guards are almost twice as many as other places, who knows that there are some tough guys around here.

A financial budget has been made. In the first year, the Cao’s Commercial Bank will invest at least tens of billions of silver to take over everything from the Canaan Group, as well as its own expansion, but the income in the first year can reach an astonishing trillion trillion silver. This may be an astronomical figure, and Li Cong couldn't believe it at the beginning, but he immediately thought that no one here belongs to ordinary people, and ordinary people can have a few taels of silver. The average person has thousands of taels of silver in their hands. Of course, the main place to make money in the first year is the exchange business and airship transportation. There will not be so much in the future, and it will be able to maintain at trillions of silver every year. It's pretty good, but it's not clear what will happen in one or two sentences.

The training camp has also begun to be built here. Li Cong is very concerned about this. In addition to these, Li Cong is also planning to carry out a large-scale training in the Warcraft Mountains. In fact, Warcraft will also quickly after eating these potions. I grew up, but there was no such cooperation between Warcraft and humans before. Li Cong now has such abilities and opportunities. If he doesn't do it, he will be really sorry for himself. Li Cong can foresee that, There are human struggles in human society, but in the Warcraft Mountains, the struggle of Warcraft is even more intense.

The entire Forgotten Land has started a new action under the operation of Li Cong. The next step is to deploy its own monitoring system, and the main goal is the Thunder Gate. (To be continued.
