Chapter 456: The Final News (Part 2)
The ship position mentioned here is not just the location where one sea boat is parked, but at least ten sea boats can park at the same time. In addition, there is also a piece of land for building warehouses. To be honest, the entire small port cannot be compared.
If it weren't for the huge and terrifying private piers in Kuoqiao Port, I believe that all the people with ship positions would be willing to call their place a pier.
The reason why the group of merchants controlled by Anzaikang can represent one percent of the power of Wilt is that the group has developed to have a private ship position in all ports of Wilt to a minimum.
Of course, the merchant group under An Zaikang's name has a private ship position in Kuoqiao Port. Although the area is the smallest among the merchant group, its value and status are the highest.
The highest level is that through the investment of dozens of merchant groups, they have controlled 70% or 80% of the terminals of two or three ports with poor locations and relatively depressed economic ports. At the same time, through the holdings of nearly a hundred merchant groups, they have completely owned more than a dozen shipyards. Then there are hundreds of commercial routes and acquisition points jointly controlled by the merchant groups.
Without these foundations, why should An Zaikang's business group represent one percent of the power of Wirt?
"Master, the ship is here." A servant came over and reported.
This person was also An Zaikang's retainer, but he followed the customs of the countryside. After coming to Werte, these retainers were called An Zaikang as the master, and only Ryer Wenzhi kept the title of lord.
"Well, go and welcome it. Although the two-month voyage is not as good as the Eastern Continent, it is long enough. Regardless of whether there is any loss of goods, they will be rewarded."
An Zaikang stood up with a smile, while Ryer Wenzhi didn't say anything. This kind of small thing could be solved by himself, but An Zaikang liked to see the goods with his own eyes and touch the wealth with his own hands. It was his personal interest.
When they arrived at the shore and looked at the dark sea, An Zaikang and Ryer Wenzhi were both stunned for a moment, because two headlights appeared on the sea surface, which were only made by the fleet's headships. Others, such as the taillights, were sailing with one ship.
"Why are there two fleets?" An Zai Kanggang said this, and when he saw the private ships next door, there were also voices and light tubes, he immediately understood: "It turned out to be the fleet next door, uh, which merchant group is this? I remember that the ships next door have never been moored at night, why did this happen this time?"
Seeing An Zaikang looking at him with his eyes glowing, Ryer Wenzhi knew that An Zaikang's merchant sensitivity had occurred again. However, the New Year is normal. Generally, large fleets are not used to night sailing, especially when entering the port, they will not choose until night. After all, many jobs will be greatly reduced due to sight issues. Therefore, those who work at night are either too poor to queue up for public berths, or ships that are ashamed of business.
Of course, businessmen with wealth and eagerness will also do nighttime homework.
"The private berth next door is a private berth owned by Oji Jimmet Wilt Free League four-star general, duke, and leader of the Jimmet Trading Group." Ryer Winchi took the documents sent by the clever servant, looked at it and said.
"You have personally selected this berth, and you have personally sent someone to inquire about the surrounding situation. Why have you forgotten it? I think lord, you should find an opportunity to rest for a while." Ryer Wenzhi said with a frown.
Although this should not come from the words of his ministers, Ryer Wenzhi was more accustomed to seeing An Zaikang as a brother, so when he saw that he had forgotten all such things, he couldn't help but advise again.
"There is no way, the business group has too much information. I can't even remember the name of the business group under my own, let alone outsiders. OK, I will find an opportunity to rest."
An Zaikang surrendered a little helplessly. This is not an exaggeration. Just think about how many merchant groups An Zaikang has arranged, it is normal for him to know that he will not remember it.
"What do you think about this?" Ryerwin's mouth flicked to the next door.
"Hehe, Ochjimitt is a real power figure of Wilt. He is so sneaky. It must be something important. How could I let it go! You know, even an inconspicuous piece of news may bring huge wealth!" An Zaikang rubbed his palm excitedly.
"If you want to make a fortune by him, you may be discovered by him. We are not qualified to compete with him now." Ryer Wenzhi said calmly.
"I believe the Secret Guard will not disappoint me." An Zaikang said, and waved his hand: "Go and monitor them. See what goods they have shipped and see what they have plans!"
That's right, An Zaikang also has a group of secret guards in his hands. Although the number of people is not as large as Xiang Wen's hands, it is also a very powerful force.
This secret guard was assigned to him when Cons assigned business tasks.
Even with the existence of these secret guards, no one of the merchant groups that An Kang would forget would be betrayed. It is also because of the existence of these secret guards that An Kang would not do a loss-making business, and he could often enter the new market first to make money, and he did not encounter any fatal blows from other merchants.
It can be said that it is because of the protection and intelligence support of the secret guards that An Zaikang can pull the merchant group so strongly in such a short period of time.
Seeing these secret guards disappear, Ryer Wenzhi suddenly had an idea--if these secret guards assassinate all the leaders of the big merchant groups, is it possible for the lord's merchant group to control the Wilt Alliance?
However, thinking that in such a chaotic situation, who really emerged and wanted to die, Ryer Wenzhi gave up this idea.
At the same time, Ryer Wenzhi couldn't help but think about it. Is his lord unwilling to be independent because of the existence of these secret guards? After all, although these brainwashed secret guards obeyed the orders, the one they were loyal to was always Cons.
But this random thought was quickly abandoned because An Zai Kang was not a deep-minded person, and I'm afraid he didn't consider these things at all.
Alas, Cons is really hard to see through. He can actually have such a practical and terrifying secret guard. If this person gets nervous and sends secret guards to assassinate the leader-level figure, the whole world will probably be even more chaotic.
I don’t know if such secret guards have any means to curb them.
It’s not a fault for Ryer Wenzhi to think so. Anyone who knows that there is a force that is not controlled by his own hands will be restless.
Perhaps for those who know the situation of the Secret Guard, it is a good thing that Cons was taken away by a tornado.
After the Secret Guard was sent, An Zaikang no longer paid attention to it and focused on his work. Anyway, the Secret Guard would naturally come back to report after receiving the news.
But when the goods were counted, the lights were turned off quietly next door, but the guard still did not come back.
An Zai Kang paced back and forth with some confusion. Ryer Wenzhi comforted: "Lord, the Secret Guard is elusive, there is definitely no problem with security. They are so slow, probably because they have not found out the information, or it takes some time to get the information. I believe you will be able to wait for the news in a while."
An Zaikang shook his head: "I'm not worried that the Seok Guard will miss it. What I'm worried about is that the Seok Guard needs to spend this long time inquiring about the news. It must be very important. Maybe we will be involved in a major event because we know this news. You must know that we are not qualified to compete with Aoji Jimmett now."
Ryer Wenzhi suggested: "Aoji is a storied figure in Wilter, but there has been no news about Aoji in the past few months. It is said that he is idle and he is itchy and goes out to do business in person. So this night boat entering the port is likely to be the business brought by Aoji."
"Lord, we're almost done with our goods. Let's leave as usual, so we won't stay here and attract suspicion. Anyway, the Secret Guard will catch up and report."
"Well, this is, then let's go."
As soon as he was about to get on the carriage, the secret guard suddenly appeared in front of An Zaikang.
An Zai Kang and Ryer Wenzhi were both shocked, not because the secret guards were elusive, but because dozens of secret guards appeared in front of them at the same time.
The secret guards reported that there was only one person. Now the secret guards around him appeared at the same time. What big thing happened?
"Sir, the Lord is in the snow country in the north!" A secret guard shouted in a choking and excited voice.
"What!" An Zai Kang shook his body and exclaimed suddenly: "You said my elder brother is in the snow country in the north?"
Ryer Wenzhi also looked shocked. Cons actually survived after being taken away by a tornado!
"Yes, sir, the merchant ships of the Aoji merchant group just now just came back from the Snow Country."
Miwei trembled all over and told them about the information they had come. They had originally wanted to know what business Augie was doing this time after sneaking in, but they didn't expect that they could hear a name that shocked them from the sailors' chat, that was Cons Rarenter.
When they heard the name of their master, the guards all raised their ears. They were curious at first. Although they were willing to believe that Cons was still alive, as long as they were normal people, they did not think Cons could survive a tornado. This was just a comforting statement.
But when I heard behind, this man not only had an elusive guard, but also was confirmed by Aoji as the head of the Lei family and the governor of the five southeastern provinces. I don’t have to think about it anymore. This Earl of the Snow Country is his lord!
The Lord is really alive under the tornado, and he is still very comfortable, and he becomes the best again in a very short time!
He is worthy of being the Lord of His own loyalty!
Although the secret guards wanted to tie the sailors back and torture them immediately, they were worried that they would not cause trouble for the merchant group that transfusion blood for the lord, so they could only endure the eavesdropping and did not dare to plunder people. Finally, no news could be found, so they rushed back.
"Brother actually became an earl in the Snow Country? Tens of thousands of soldiers under him? Oh my God, how long has it been!" An Zaikang, who recovered from the surviving surprise of Cons, was stunned again, and Ryer Wenzhi was also stunned.
Oh my God, it is amazing that a person who was taken away by a tornado can survive. I didn’t expect that this person with nothing can occupy such a huge territory in less than a year, and has such a high title and army. He is really not a human being!
"Sir, we ask you to lend us a sea boat equipped with sailors and materials. We need to rush to the Lord as soon as possible." The Secret Guard looked at An Zai Kang very focused.
Upon hearing this, Ryer Wenzhi's face changed.
As soon as the Secret Guards left, so many controlled merchant groups might have bad intentions. Although these merchant groups have various systems as the constraints of their loyalty, the Secret Guards' shock is the top priority. If they lose the secret and protection of the Secret Guards, they may be assassinated immediately.
But if they disagree, these secret guards will not only leave, but also think that An Zaiying is unfaithful to Cons. No matter how he does it, he can't do it.
An Zai Kang snorted coldly in dissatisfaction: "What do you mean? Do you get rid of me? That's my elder brother, of course I have to see him as soon as possible!"
Originally, the words An Zaikang made all the secret guards look cold, but the words afterwards made the secret guards feel a little embarrassed. Yes, they didn't want An Zaikang to see Cons.
The Sewei said anxiously: "Sir, let's prepare immediately?"
"Please, you all know that Brother is a lord in the Snow Country and definitely needs a lot of material. Should we just go there empty-handedly? Of course, we have to prepare well! And you secret guards cannot all follow you. After all, this group of merchants still needs your care and intimidation. I don't want to report to Brother how many groups of merchants have betrayed me."
The secret guards who said An Zaikang nodded. They were all masters who had undergone a variety of training. After being excited, they could immediately understand what to do.
"Sir, is this news for you or will you inform the five southeastern provinces?" said one of the leaders of the Secret Guards.
The reason why the leader of the Secret Guard did not directly inform Xiang Wen, the Chief of the Secret Guard, was because he was not in the secret guard system controlled by Xiang Wen. However, when Xiang Wen was the chief, they had been transferred out and were responsible for the affairs of Werte. So when encountering such a thing, they just wanted to hurry to Cons and serve their lives immediately, rather than report to Xiang Wen, the Chief of the Secret Guard.
An Zai Kang thought for a while, shook his head and sighed, "It's better not to do it for the time being. Think about it, what would happen if President Xiangwen learned about my elder brother?"
Ryer Wenzhi was shocked. He was not a lord who suspected that Xiangwen would send someone to assassinate Cons for power, right? This should be impossible. Not to mention Xiangwen's loyalty to Cons, even if he had a rebellious intention, these brainwashed secret guards would not obey this order.
"Like us, we rushed to the Lord as soon as possible." The Secret Guard replied directly without any random thoughts.
An Zaikang nodded and said, "Yes, think about General Xiangwen's control over the five southeastern provinces. If General Xiangwen leaves regardless of the matter, the five southeastern provinces will lose control and deterrence. I am afraid that when my elder brother comes back, the Southeast Governor's Office will be broken into pieces."
"What the lord said is that it seems that we still have to hide this news, and only those of us know it." The Miwei nodded and agreed to An Zaikang's speculation.
"Yes, I will form a caravan of more than a dozen sea ships in the name of finding new markets to go to the Duchy of Bingyao to find my elder brother, and you can help me select a group of loyal elite sailors with land combat capabilities."
"yes!"
