Chapter 122: The Money Hungry Goblin
Calia found it somewhat amusing to hear this and suppressed a laugh, refraining from being impolite by bursting into laughter.
It was truly impolite and best not to ruin her younger brother's good fortune.
This journey turned out to be more interesting than any life she had lived before.
The most important thing was being able to be with her beloved younger brother, which was the most crucial aspect.
"Do you know who I am?" Arthas playfully looked at the female Goblin in front of him. Suddenly, he had an idea to recruit a female Goblin to manage his finances.
Goblins are a diminutive race, similar in height to dwarfs and gnomes, but very cunning and intelligent, with an extraordinary zeal for money.
There is a joke that proves the greed of Goblins - as long as you offer enough money, they can do anything for you, even sell their wives or mothers!
The greed of Goblins knows no bounds, with most Goblins taking pride in earning gold coins.
Arthas had encountered Goblins before currently, Lordaeron does not allow these races to engage in commerce, so Goblins cannot do business with him.
These greedy Goblins even collaborate with orcs, helping them build warships, without caring whether these violent orcs will destroy the world.
That's Goblins for you, obsessed with money.
"Do you? You seem familiar, but sorry, I don't know who you are. So, dear knight, tell me your name!" The female Goblin curiously scrutinized Arthas. His demeanor was not something ordinary people possessed; only the nobility of humans could cultivate such an air.
Unlike those nobles who were no different from beasts in human form, the human before her exuded an aura that was believable.
Even though the power of the Titan Soul was dormant, its influence was visibly present.
Arthas released her from the cage, "Come, let's talk over there."
The female Goblin curiously followed him, observing the gnolls outside cleaning up bodies and organizing the transportation of food materials back.
Everything was different from before, more civilized and refined, making her feel like she had taken a wrong turn.
"What is this? Oh, gold coins up there, are these gnolls?" Arthas paid no attention, instead, he arrived at a campfire, took out ingredients for cooking, and a small pot containing coffee powder, emitting a pleasant aroma as it simmered.
He poured a cup for the female Goblin and sat on a rock, "I am Prince Arthas of Lordaeron. It is safe here, and this gnoll tribe has been conquered by me."
Omia Sands took a sip of the coffee, her eyes lighting up instantly.
Goblins are stingy they are very frugal in their living and even reluctant to spend money, squeezing every penny out of their trade partners to their utmost delight.
"Oh, this is a delicious beverage. Do you plan to develop the market with me? Your Highness, hand over the recipe for this beverage to me, and I will pay five hundred gold coins for it!"
A typical Goblin indeed, always fixated on gold coins.
"Sure, I have many recipes and inventions that can be used to make money. But before that, I need to know, what is your position in the Heatwave Consortium?" Arthas added licorice to the coffee, enhancing its sweetness.
"Don't try to deceive me. The Ashvane Trading Company belongs to my Aunt, and she is well-informed about the activities of other consortiums."
Gulp! Omia's eyes suddenly gleamed with enthusiasm. It wasn't Arthas's charm that captivated her, but a desire to break free from fate, "You are His Royal Highness Prince, so you must be wealthy, right?"
"No, I'm not rich," Arthas said indifferently. "That's why I need to make money."
"Oh!" Omia lowered her head again, then suddenly raised it, intertwining her fingers, "Then we can collaborate!"
"Answer my question first," Arthas frowned, disliking the feeling of being led around by the nose. These Goblins sure knew how to negotiate, talking in circles around him.
Sensing Arthas' displeasure, Omia finished her coffee in one gulp, "My name is Omia Sands, I work at the Sands Consortium. Don't think too much, I am the daughter of the big boss of the Sands Consortium, born as a bastard with a servant, so I have no inheritance rights. I work at the Sands Consortium, managed to get a ship through some connections, bought some goods, and planned to sell them in Lordaeron. I heard you are fighting against those tall guys, I think I can make a big profit."
Then Omia spread her hands, looking helpless with a hint of resentment, "I was attacked by the Naga, my fleet, oh! My gold! All gone! I bought all of that with a loan, sob, I will definitely be taken back by the Sands Consortium to work in the mines!"
"Ding, triggering a chain quest, Business Empire One."
"Chain quest Business Empire One: To achieve great things, you need a large capital. What to do without money? Find a way to make money! Details: Collaborate with Omia to earn ten thousand gold coins. Quest Reward: Recruit Omia, unlock the position of Chief Financial Officer of the territory."
"Chief Financial Officer of the territory: Responsible for profit generation and financial auditing, with authority over all money-related projects. The more capable the individual in this position, the more lucrative the rewards, ensure loyalty first."
"I can support you in reestablishing trade, as well as with goods and ships. But what do I get in return?" Arthas sipped his coffee, a hint of amusement in his eyes.
"Really? Oh, gold! You can get gold! I just want half of the profits from this trade!" Omia's eyes lit up, quickly stating her demand.
But seeing Arthas' ambiguous expression, she gritted her teeth, "Forty percent!"
"Thirty! Can't go any lower!" Omia looked at Arthas's faint smile, receiving no response from him.
She held her head in agony, "Twenty percent, that's the lowest, I still have debts to pay!"
"You have two choices, one is fifty percent of the profits, then we call it even."
Arthas paused, looking at the female Goblin in front of him, "The second option, give up the profit, after completing this trade order, show me your potential, and you will have the chance to become my Chief Financial Officer."
