Chapter 335 It’s better to have a choice than not to have a choice
"Chief Yunban, the gifts I brought today are only a very small part of the many goods produced by our Vine Tribe. If our trading team can come over, then there will be a lot more goods that we can trade.
”
Jiang Xuan was talking and eating barbecue, his expression was quite relaxed, and his words were full of confidence.
The leader of the Spider Tribe, Yun Ban, looked at the gifts given by Jiang Xuan, and then looked at every unique thing on Jiang Xuan's body, and he already believed his words.
However, he still has his own worries.
"Leader Xuan, if I remember correctly, you said last time that your Vine Tribe should be in the northern part of the Southern Wilderness, right? It's not close to our Spider Tribe. How will your trading team get here? Like the Black Tooth Tribe.
Should we rely on big birds that can fly long distances, or should we walk?"
"To be honest, the stuff from your Vine Tribe is really good, but it's too far away from our Spider Tribe, so it's not easy to transport the goods."
Yun Ban said seriously: "The Spider Tribe is a large tribe and needs a lot of goods. Currently, only the Black Tooth Tribe can meet our needs."
Jiang Xuan smiled and said: "But the Black Tooth Tribe always uses their advantages to trick you, right?"
Businessmen are all driven by profit, and so are primitive businessmen. When the profit is large enough, most people will not be able to resist the temptation.
Perhaps, when the Black Teeth Tribe initially traded with other tribes, the prices offered were relatively fair and reasonable.
But when their advantage becomes greater and greater, and they even become the only choice for most tribes to do transactions, their appetite will definitely be fed bigger and bigger, and they will want to earn more and more benefits. p>
Jiang Xuan believes that with the dominance of the Black Teeth Tribe, they will definitely cheat the Spider Tribe in transactions.
This is also the disadvantage that will inevitably occur when one company becomes dominant.
Sure enough, after hearing Jiang Xuan's words, Yun Ban frowned slightly, as if he recalled some bad memories.
Jiang Xuan struck while the iron was hot and said: "As for how the goods from our Teng tribe are transported here... I would like to ask first, has Chief Yunban ever heard of the Shangui tribe?"
Yun Ban frowned and said: "The Mountain Turtle Tribe seems to have some impression, but I can't remember it at the moment."
At this time, the spider tribe shaman said in an old and hoarse voice: "Is it the mountain turtle tribe that was destroyed by the ant tribe?"
Jiang Xuan nodded and said: "Yes, it's the Mountain Turtle Tribe."
The witch of the Spider Tribe seemed to be lost in some kind of memory. After a while, she finally said: "A long time ago, the Mountain Turtle Tribe was one of the big tribes in the central region. It existed longer than our Spider Tribe. Unfortunately, later,
Besieged by the ant tribe and several large tribes at that time, a tribe with a long history was wiped out."
Jiang Xuan's heart moved and he immediately asked: "Is there any relationship between the Spider Tribe and the former Mountain Turtle Tribe?"
The shaman of the Spider Tribe nodded: "It's a bit of a friendship. According to the witchcraft records, when the Shangui Tribe was still there, they often made deals with the Spider Tribe. Later, when the Shangui Tribe was destroyed, the Spider Tribe even secretly sent some warriors.
It has been a long time since we escorted a small group of Shangui tribe members out of the central part of the country."
Hearing this, Jiang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. The reason why he mentioned the Shangui Tribe was because the Shangui Tribe was already a subordinate tribe of the Teng Tribe and had a strong intention to migrate to the central part of the Southern Wilderness.
If the Spider Tribe had a grudge against the former Mountain Turtle Tribe, or even participated in the siege, then after the Mountain Turtle Tribe enters the central part of the Southern Wilderness, it will need to deal with the two large tribes, the Ant Tribe and the Spider Tribe at the same time. It will be very difficult to gain a foothold in the central part.
Difficult.
Fortunately, the Mountain Turtle Tribe rarely made enemies when they were in the central region. According to the instructions of the Spider Tribe shaman, the relationship between the two tribes was relatively good.
In this way, the resistance for the Mountain Turtle Tribe to gain a foothold in the middle will be much smaller.
Jiang Xuan was determined in his heart and continued: "After the Mountain Turtle Tribe was besieged in the central part, the old Turtle God died in battle, and the young Turtle God led the remaining tribesmen upstream, and finally arrived at a large swamp in the northern part of the Southern Wilderness to settle down." "Since you have interacted with the former Mountain Turtle Tribe, you should also know that there are many giant mountain turtles in the Mountain Turtle Tribe. They are extremely powerful and can carry people and goods, and they can travel unimpeded whether it is land or water.
”
"The goods of our Vine Tribe arrive in the middle of the country by water. We have already done transactions with the Crocodile Tribe several times before. If the Spider Tribe is willing to do large-volume transactions with our Vine Tribe, there is no need to worry about the transportation of goods." p>
Yun Ban's heart moved: "What Leader Xuan means is that you can drive the giant mountain turtles of the Mountain Turtle Tribe to transport goods?"
Jiang Xuan smiled and said: "It's not about driving, it's just cooperation. If the goods can be traded smoothly, the Shangui Tribe will also get part of the reward."
Jiang Xuan did not reveal that the Teng tribe could build large ships and use them to transport people and goods. Instead, he lifted out the giant tortoise of the Shangui tribe.
Because the tribesmen are not familiar with things like large ships, and it is difficult to believe in their reliability until they see the real thing. In contrast, giant turtles transporting goods are more easily accepted by the tribesmen. p>
The spider tribe shaman and Yun Ban looked at each other and briefly exchanged opinions with their eyes.
Later, Yun Ban said to Jiang Xuan: "Since you can bring the freight over, of course you can do transactions, but how can you guarantee that you won't be as greedy as the Black Tooth Tribe?"
Jiang Xuan said calmly: "Leader Yunban, even if I make any promises now, it is probably hard for you to believe it, but in many cases, some choices are better than no choices, don't you think?"
Yun Ban and Wu looked at each other again, and then nodded together.
When the Spider Tribe had only the Black Fang Tribe as its trading partner, no matter how outrageous the Black Fang Tribe offered them, they could only accept it.
After having the Vine Tribe, if the price of the same goods is lower and the quality is better, they will definitely choose the Black Tooth Tribe, and vice versa.
Jiang Xuan is actually right. Having a choice is better than not having a choice. Having more choices is more in line with the interests of the Spider Tribe.
At this point, both parties have basically reached a consensus.
In the future, as long as the Spider Tribe gains benefits from the transaction, the relationship between the two tribes will not be bad. As long as the Vine Tribe does not harm the interests of the Spider Tribe, they should not have much influence on the Vine Tribe's entry into the central part of the Southern Wilderness.
Resistance.
And this is what Jiang Xuan really wants.
Afterwards, the conversation between the two parties became relaxed and happy. Yun Ban brought out more food to entertain Jiang Xuan, and even openly expressed his appreciation for Jiang Xuan and hoped that he could stay with her for the night.
Jiang Xuan refused this warm invitation without hesitation.
Not only because Yunban is too tall and strong, but also because he understands some special habits of spiders.
In nature, after a female spider mates with a male spider, she will immediately eat the male spider to obtain more nutrients to raise the baby spiders.
Although the women of the spider tribe will not eat their men, due to the influence of the spider totem, they will not be very gentle to men, and they just regard men as a tool.
Therefore, after talking about important matters, Jiang Xuan quickly said goodbye to Yun Ban and the Spider Tribe Shaman.
It wasn't until he left the huge spider house that Jiang Xuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Chief Xuan, you are finally out. Come on, come to my place to see the beautiful new spider silk clothes."
As soon as Jiang Xuang walked out, Red Spider, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, immediately came to greet him.
Facing the enthusiastic Red Spider, Jiang Xuan secretly complained in his heart. Fortunately, Red Spider is not as tall and strong as Yunban, and at least she looks like a normal and good-looking tribal woman.
