Chapter 411 The White-Eyed King(2/2)
“Although Neptune did this out of excitement and inner anxiety, it did bring losses to everyone.
Next, let’s talk about exhausting matters in detail, and strive to achieve a more coordinated economic relationship between us.
Just imagine, the reason Neptune needed to sell off a lot of treasures was because he needed a lot of raw materials to build his country.
In the past year, countries that export raw materials must have made some profits, right?"
Gao Wen looked towards the raw material exporting countries.
Facing Gawain's eyes, the kings of the raw material exporting countries looked at each other, and then they bowed to Gawain with laughter and tears.
"Gao Wensheng, to be honest, we didn't make much money.
We...oh, it's really difficult...
Pirates are so rampant and there are so many that the number of navies and the number of pirates are no longer equal.
If we don't pay extra, the navies from all over the world will hardly take the initiative to clean up the major commercial routes.
In short, after our goods leave our dock, they may not necessarily fall into someone's hands in the blink of an eye.
Like the materials that King Neptune bought, they might have been sold by some pirate, hey..."
"hehe."
Listening to the complaints of the kings, Gawain smiled noncommittally.
"There is no point in complaining blindly. Kings, when faced with problems, the better solution is to solve them.
As for the explanation you just gave, let me explain it more thoroughly for you.
It’s not that you can’t make enough, it’s that you don’t make enough!”
After the words fell, Gawain made some gestures on the table, and then he continued.
"Although shipping routes have been maintained in the world for thousands of years, we have to admit that shipping routes that require transportation for several years are no longer enough to sustain your gradually increasing manpower and products.
In other words, the existing routes are simply not enough to provide you with maximum profits!
Coupled with the fact that security issues have been declining year after year, the number of bounty tickets continues to double.
This is why I left you here and decided to discuss it with you!"
On the side, after hearing Gawain's words, Kobra said to Gawain in cooperation.
"Wait, sir, do you have any way to solve this problem?
Before, although you came to Alabasta where I am, you also helped us solve the drought disaster.
But after you left, even though Alabasta had your support, the quality of life of the people and our nobles ultimately dropped a lot.
So, sir, do you have any channels and methods to expand cargo transportation in large quantities or even increase transportation speed?
If there is, then no matter which one of us, I am afraid we can use this to gain a lot of benefits!"
After the words fell, King Kobra rubbed his palms with a smile. His words immediately moved the hearts of several nearby kings.
Although everyone knows that Kobra is Gawain's pawn, no matter what, if the channel proposed by Kobra really exists, then everyone can indeed earn more!
Therefore, a few hesitant eyes immediately looked at Gawain.
Gawain didn't waste time, he nodded simply as he met the kings' eyes.
"Indeed, Cobra, and you have seen the method I proposed.
In your land, you have supported me in building land trains. You should know that this mode of transportation really surpasses all existing modes of transportation!"
"That's right!"
Cobra nodded simply.
"The train thing really opened my eyes. Those black-smoking iron trains were much faster than the speed of the ship. Their speed almost reached about 200 kilometers per hour.
Moreover, they are extremely stable. Although their carrying capacity is slightly lower than that of large cargo ships, their transportation speed far exceeds them.
It's just that, sir, that kind of thing needs fixed tracks to lay.
But can tracks be laid on the sea?”
After saying that, Kobra looked at Gawain expectantly.
Beside him, countless kings couldn't help but roll their eyes.
Cobra is really good at pretending. Haha, anyone who has been near Mariejoia doesn't know about the sea train developed by the fishman Tom?
Is there anyone here who doesn’t know Gao Wensheng’s plan to promote sea trains?
How dare you pretend to know nothing and talk so loudly here!
For a moment, the eyes of a group of kings almost rolled to the sky. When it comes to shamelessness, a mountain is higher than a mountain!
As for Gawain, he didn't care what the kings thought. He pretended to be crazy, stupid, and deaf. These things were basic diplomatic methods, and they were also basic respect for the trade diplomacy carried out by many kings.
I saw him nodded slightly, and then he simply said.
"Cobra, you may not have visited the islands near Shampoo Land, so you don't know.
The name of the train was originally called the sea train.
And I, I am determined to let the sea train connect any island on the great route, any one!!!
