"Urine wax is a plaything of the nobles. Although the price is very high, the market is not very good." Nielsen put the jar aside. Even if he saw the goods he liked, he still had to show disdain. This is the basic principle of a businessman.
Common sense, "Seeing the sincerity you have shown and our growing friendship, I think I must give you a fair price."
Nelson held out two fingers: "One pound of urine wax, twenty gold coins."
In the market, one pound of urine wax is equivalent to the price of two pounds of gold, which is worth at least fifty gold coins.
But that is the retail price, and merchants must purchase at the wholesale price, which is reasonable.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk~" Reggie shook his head, as if he was not satisfied with the quotation, "This is not an ordinary urine wax. If you know the goods, you should be able to see the difference in quality, so I think..."
"I am willing to pay thirty gold coins!" Mosley shouted from the side, "Sir, thirty gold coins per pound, I am willing to buy your urine wax."
Mosley was an expert, and he knew that such urine wax could still be sold at a good price even if it was mixed with the same weight of flour and water.
But his behavior aroused strong dissatisfaction from Nelson. Mosley's behavior was very irrational and seriously affected Nelson's authority in the caravan.
Fortunately, this old fox always knew how to do things appropriately. He just glared at Mosley without saying a word.
Reggie nodded and said: "It seems that you are a more sincere businessman, but the urine wax I want to sell is far more than that. As I said just now, I want to do big business."
Big business? How big can it be?
The best alchemist in the royal capital masters the secret technique of refining urine wax. It takes 200,000 pounds of urine to barely extract one pound of urine wax.
How much urine wax can be found in remote Snow City? Five pounds? Ten pounds? That's all.
Mosley patted his chest confidently and said with a smile: "If they are all of this quality, I will accept as much as you have."
Reggie also held out two fingers: "Two hundred pounds."
Mosley took a breath and sat back in his chair awkwardly.
Thirty gold coins for one pound, and six thousand gold coins for two hundred pounds, which was obviously beyond his ability to bear.
This time it was Nelson's turn to laugh.
"Sir, it seems that not everyone has the capital to start a big business." Nelson glanced at the urine wax in the jar again. "A suitable business must not only have the right price, but also the right candidates. One pound of urine wax
, twenty-three gold coins, do you think this price is appropriate?"
Reggie thought for a moment and said, "Twenty-five."
Nelson nodded and said with a smile: "Deal."
…
On the way back, dozens of carriages moved forward slowly in a line, each carriage was filled with boxes, but only four carriages contained precious urine wax.
Along the way, Nelson repeatedly calculated the income from this business. The two hundred pounds of urine wax cost him a full five thousand gold coins, but after adding water and flour and selling it at the market price, they could earn at least three times.
profit.
Everyone had a proud smile on their faces, especially Mosley. He wished he had wings to carry the urine wax back to Blue Bay. Businessmen from overseas know the value of urine wax best, and they will do it in a few days.
All these urine waxes were snapped up within a day.
"Where did he get these urine waxes? Is he an alchemist? Or is he really the legendary Hades wizard?"
"Ignorant Mosley, you really don't know anything," Nelson looked at Mosley with contempt, "Such a good urine wax is not made by a warlock, let alone a wizard."
Mosley asked nervously: "Is he a Chaos Elf?"
"Elves don't know how to refine urine wax," Nelson said with a cold smile. "There is a legend in the ancient Golden Eagle Kingdom. Only a true king knows how to refine urine wax. He will raise an ancient mythical beast with
, this mythical beast can urinate ten pounds of precious urine for him every day, and he will use magical magic to extract one pound of urine wax from these ten pounds of urine."
Mosley had also heard of this legend, and he asked cautiously, "Is this lord the legendary demon orc?"
Nelson said: "Haven't you heard that he turned into a giant bull on the battlefield and swallowed up all the enemy troops? He also turned into a flying skin, released white ghosts, and defeated the Cambrian brought by the princess.
knight."
Mosley's mood became even more agitated. He couldn't wait to go home immediately and tell his wife that he had met the legendary demon orc, the orc king who met once in a thousand years.
Nelson suddenly grabbed Mosley's collar and gritted his teeth and said: "There is one more thing, you must not forget, if you dare to undermine me in the future business, I will drive you out immediately
My caravan! You lucky fool, you met this great lord because of me. If you dare to offend me again, your good luck will come to an end!"
…
Thanks to Topcamilla, both Nehruv and Salah recovered, the soldiers also improved, and the Cambrian knights were able to mount their horses and practice.
After the previous battles, there were less than 300 ordinary cavalry left, more than a thousand infantry shield soldiers, and 600 archers. The Cambrian knights did not suffer much losses. These tough warriors
Only more than forty people were lost.
All the soldiers added together still numbered more than 2,000, and it seemed that the situation was not that bad.
But if they were allowed to attack Shattering Snow City now, the entire army would completely collapse, including Nehruv, Salah, and even Sophia. Even she didn't want to mention Reggie's name again.
But Sean is still in Reggie's hands, should he watch him die?
Everyone was at a loss what to do, and Sophia finally chose to compromise.
"Maybe we really should give him the food."
When Nehruv mentioned food, his face immediately changed.
"One million pounds of grain, my God, that's two months' worth of food for Han Maple Fortress. I would rather die in Shattering Snow City than give the grain to that damn wizard!"
"Ice Rock City doesn't have much food," Salah said, "The knights have their own fiefdoms, but they can only turn in at most 30% of the offerings. This is the law of the kingdom."
"I won't hand over the food from Bayer Country to that devil. I'm just wondering... is there any other way?" Sophia thought for a long time and finally thought of another way out, "We should let the Lion Country
Pay this ransom.”
Alalph shook his head and said: "My queen, I have tried my best. The king of Lane Country is very stubborn. He regards Reginald as a rebel. He will not send a bunch of wheat to Shattering Snow City."
"Who asked him to send it to Broken Snow City?" Sophia smiled, "I asked him to send us food. We cannot capture Broken Snow City for the time being, but we can also attack other cities. When the Lion Kingdom
When cowards know what pain is, they will naturally agree to our terms."
There was silence in the tent, and everyone looked at Sophia in surprise. It was hard to imagine that Sophia could still maintain the queen's arrogance and fighting spirit despite the tragic defeat she had just experienced.
Salah was the first to respond: "Bypass the Lost Mountain, attack Golden Light City or Zhilin City, plunder their food, and then force the Kingdom of Lane to contribute more food."
"This is the king's original intention. The purpose of war is to plunder!" Nehruv shouted excitedly, "Old friend, do you prefer the girls from Zhilin City or the weapons from Jinguang City?"
Salah smiled and said: "It depends on the queen's decision."
"I choose Golden Light City," Sophia said, "I want to give the best weapons of the Lion Kingdom to our bravest warriors!"
