Sir Carter elegantly performed a standard noble etiquette and said: "Please allow me to interrupt, I am not simply representing the Odulin Chamber of Commerce, I am representing the Sambia Business Council, which is the Darren Chamber of Commerce.
, the union of the Odulin Chamber of Commerce, the Sergante Chamber of Commerce, the Uraspil Chamber of Commerce, the Yehong Chamber of Commerce, and the Serlon Chamber of Commerce represents the common interests of the six cities, advancing together and exiting together."
Darren, Odulin, Sergant, Uraspil, Ye Hong, Serron.
These are the names of six cities, the largest cities on the coast of Sambia. Each city has a population of no less than one hundred thousand and governs hundreds of kilometers of surrounding land.
Sambia belongs to a wealthy oligarchy. Each wealthy oligarch has a chamber of commerce that supports him and controls at least one city.
When these wealthy people and the chambers of commerce they represent are combined together, it becomes Sambia.
The Sambian Businessmen's Council is a commonly used self-identification for Sambian businessmen when they are away from home.
Anyway, it’s just bullshit. No one can verify whether what they say is true or false. Even if they really have the ability to verify it, Sambian businessmen are out of collective interests. As long as the other party is a Sambian businessman and does not offend their own
The interests usually side with the Sambian businessmen.
Gavin nodded expressionlessly to express his understanding. He turned to Bede and said, "Mr. Bede, don't you still have something to deal with?"
Bede understood deeply that Gavin was trying to remove himself from the matter. Whether their talks were successful or not would have nothing to do with him. He hurriedly leaned over and said: "Sorry, I have other important things to deal with, so I won't disturb you two."
Discussed."
"Since Mr. Bede has something to do, let's go and do it." Sir Carter's goal has been achieved, so he naturally doesn't care whether Bede goes or stays.
If the other party stays here, it will be inconvenient for me to lobby.
Bede left as if his butt was on fire, and arranged for the Qianshou Chamber of Commerce to evacuate from Sambia.
"Sir Carter, I wonder if I can help you?" Gavin pretended to be confused, pretending to understand.
Sir Carter smiled and said: "I am here on behalf of the lords of Sembia. They are very interested in your ghost wine and ghost manor. They are willing to sign a long-term cooperative trade relationship with Mr. Gavin. The conditions offered by your lords are very generous."
, As long as your Excellency is willing to sign this agreement, you will become the richest person in the entire Battle Valley, and even be ranked in Sambia. All chambers of commerce in Sambia will provide you with conveniences..."
"I've heard too many empty promises, so there's no need to waste my words. Let's be more practical. How do you want to cooperate?" Gavin impatiently interrupted Sir Carter's tirade.
I talked for a long time, but it was all useless nonsense.
"One million Nubao." Sir Carter raised a finger and said, "Buy all the ghost wines in the hands of Wezemay Manor and Mr. Gavin."
Sir Carter's demeanor and words all reveal one word - pride.
Nubao is the name for gold coins in Sambia. One million gold coins is an astronomical number for anyone.
The sum total of all the treasures in an ancient dragon's nest may not be worth this amount.
Throughout Faerun, few organizations could come up with such a huge amount of wealth in a short period of time, including the Cormyr royal family.
After all, this requires very high cash flow.
Drawing out millions of gold coins in a short period of time, even if it is barely done, is fatal to the operation of some chambers of commerce, and may very well break the bones.
A wandering baron heir from Tethyr, a poor boy who could only dig holes with kobolds in the backcountry.
I guess you have never seen such a huge amount of wealth in your life. You must be so frightened by this huge number that you can't even speak.
Gavin was indeed shocked by the price offered by the other party. It was not too high, but too low.
He looked at Sir Carter with an expression that looked like a fool and said: "Dear Sir, before you came here, you didn't investigate the current market price of ghost wine? What was the total annual wine production of Vizeme Manor before it was lost?"
The other party's reaction was completely beyond Carter's expectation, which made his heart skip a beat. He screamed in his heart that it was not good. If the other party was not shocked, the situation would slip into an unfavorable direction for him. He forced himself to ask calmly.
Said: "What do you mean, Mr. Gavin?"
Gavin replied calmly, "What I mean is that Your Majesty's lobbying this time is very incompetent. Before the loss of the Vizeme Manor, the wine production in the first year reached 2,000 bottles, and the wine is sold at the same rate every year."
The quantity increased gradually, reaching its peak in the eighth year, with a yearly output of 20,000. At that time, the annual output value of the Vizeme Manor reached 200,000, which was still the lowest number.
How much does a bottle of ghost wine cost now?
One hundred gold coins are still in short supply.
The special auction of ghost wine will be held in a few days. Do you think the auction price will be lower than this price?
You came to me at this time and told me that you were going to buy my manor and the ownership of all the ghost wines for one million gold coins.
Hey, even if you are trying to fool a fool, you are still too insincere.
Forced buying and selling are unprofessional."
There was no hint of ridicule in Gavin's expression or tone.
But every word he said was ridiculing.
It's just a matter of labeling Carter a frog in the well.
There was a hint of embarrassment in Carter's eyes. It wasn't that he hadn't done enough homework on the market, but that he hadn't done enough homework on Gavin Knott.
Of course he knows the value of Vizeme Manor and the value of ghost wine, and it is precisely because of his knowledge that he came here.
If they were willing to buy the Vizeme Manor and the ghost wine at the market price, he would not have approached Gavin before the ghost wine special auction.
Is this guy really stupid or fake?
Sir Carter feigned a cough, reorganized his words and said: "I think Mr. Gavin misunderstood me. One million Nubao is just a settlement allowance for Mr. Sir. What you really want to give Mr. is a road leading to the house."
The ladder of success, as long as you nod your head, you will be a member of the Sambia Business Council, and you will have countless resources.
With this million Nubao as start-up capital, you can organize a large-scale chamber of commerce in just a few months. In just half a year, you can harvest the second million, and then there will be the third and fourth
One million, at that time, you will become one of the most successful businessmen in Sambia. When you have the wealth to buy a city, you will become the new ruling class of Sambia.
This is much more cost-effective than simply guarding a remote manor. After all, there is only this batch of ghost wine, and even if the annual output value is 500,000 yuan, it will take a long time."
"It sounds very good." Gavin nodded involuntarily, "But Your Excellency, Sir, only mentioned the best possibility, but did not say the worst. It is very possible that if I invest one million Nubao, half a year later,
Not only did he not earn his first million, but he lost all his money and became deeply in debt.
If this money-making-money business is so profitable, Sir, do you still need to stay with me?"
Gavin used practical actions to explain what it means to be awake in the world.
He can draw pie cakes better than anyone else.
If he really believed what the Sambian businessman said.
Then I will be giving someone one million, and then I will become their one million in the second half of the year.
"Mr. Gavin, don't be too pessimistic. Since you can..." Carter spared no effort and wanted to lobby.
Gavin directly waved his hand and interrupted: "I currently have no plans to package and sell the ghost wine, let alone sell the manor. If you are interested in the ghost wine, you can send someone to bid at a fair auction."
"If Mr. Gavin doesn't accept your kindness, don't blame us for going through the legal process." Carter countered with a serious expression.
"Legal procedure?" Gavin, who was about to evict the guest, looked surprised and asked curiously, "Where do we start talking about this?"
Carter said seriously: "Mr. Gavin doesn't know that Mr. Kronfer, the founder of Wezeme Manor, is our Sambia businessman, right?"
"I know." The corner of Gavin's mouth twitched imperceptibly. As soon as the other party opened his mouth, he could more or less guess what destructive means he was planning to use.
"Mr. Kronfer has purchased the permanent residence and use rights of the Vizeme Manor and the surrounding areas from the Battle Valley and from Lord Ilmet. He was from the Odulin Chamber of Commerce. He originally wanted to purchase the Vizeme Manor.
, he borrowed 500,000 Nubao from the Chamber of Commerce, and successively borrowed 600,000 Nubao for subsequent construction. He has been repaying the loan with wine. Up to now, there is still 890,000 Nubao that has not been repaid. This is one of them.
Secondly, Mr. Kronfer still has a family in Sambia and has two sons, who have the legal inheritance rights of the Vizeme Manor.
Mr. Gavin now occupies the Wezeme Manor, which can be said to be unfair." Carter said as he took out scrolls from his arms.
Gavin didn't even need to open it to know that it was definitely a loan agreement signed by Kronfer.
It must be the kind that cannot be real anymore, and even magic is difficult to distinguish.
He knew Sambia's methods were disgusting, but he didn't expect them to be so disgusting.
This is purely feeding him shit.
And there are two lumps in one feed.
Gavin thought for a moment and replied: "Vezeme Manor has been judged as a lost land in the Battle Valley. Mr. Darnell has purchased the right to regain it from Lord Ilmet. I bought it from Mr. Darnell."
Taking over this authority is well-documented.
This is the Battle Valley. I only abide by the laws of the Battle Valley and do not need to abide by the laws of Sambia. Whether Mr. Kronfer has two other sons is none of my business.
As for Mr. Kronfer's loan during his lifetime, it is also Mr. Kronfer's business. You can go to him to discuss it.
Because I regained the lost land, not inherited it from him."
If you want to feed him shit, there is absolutely no way.
That is to say that we have hit the nail on the head. Before that, Vizeme Manor had become a lost place.
The Lost Land refers to those places where the control was once in the hands of humans, but has been lost. Regardless of the control, it may be a monster race, human bandits, or undead spirits, etc.
And if you regain the lost land, you will become the new lord of this place.
This law exists not only in Battle Valley, but also in other countries and territories, there are similar laws.
The purpose is to stimulate those adventurers to take the initiative to regain more lost lands and expand human settlements.
In many places, this law overrides many local laws.
Carter naturally had his own countermeasures: "Vezeme Manor was judged as a lost land. That was a unilateral matter in Battle Valley. Sambia has never recognized this matter. It still belongs to the territory of Sambian merchants.
It is sacrosanct, but in view of Mr. Gavin's efforts in this process, we are willing to resolve it peacefully, that is, asking Mr. Gavin to accept the conditions I first proposed.
As long as you accept one million Nubao, all debts will be canceled and the inheritance issue will be resolved by us."
