Want to have a serious talk with Alfred? It's not that easy.
The interview lasted for nearly half an hour, and Alfred only repeated one thing: he wanted to buy a girl.
His reasons were very good. He did not force the two girls. There was real affection between them.
There is no doubt that it is a very inevitable result for a romantic woman to develop true feelings when she meets Emperor Tianxing.
Reggie will not destroy the girls' dreams, but he will not charge Alfred's gold coins, not even liquidated damages.
"You have the ability to win the girl's heart, and I am also willing to achieve a beautiful marriage. The girl's matter has been settled. Next, we should talk about business matters."
"I also want to talk to you about business, but this is really embarrassing for me," Alfred still hugged the two girls, "Except for these lovely girls, there is nothing here that attracts me, those variegated cottons
? Cheap papyrus? And that inedible ale? Don’t you think that’s embarrassing?”
"The paper from Shattered Snow Country is not papyrus. The texture is much better than papyrus!"
"Whatever it is," Alfred sneered, "Only the best parchment is worthy of a Skylander."
Reggie also laughed. Most of Alfred's actions left him stunned, but this pretentious attitude was expected by him.
The annual collection is coming to an end, and the remaining cheap goods will definitely not impress the arrogant Tianxing people. With the last glimmer of hope, Reggie left a batch of inventory for them, but he did not expect that it would actually come in use.
Nipoli first asked someone to send a batch of silk, totaling 800 feet, with five gold coins per foot.
Alfred stroked the silk without showing any surprise.
"Clothes as smooth as water are the favorites of the Golden Eagle people. They gave me some, but to be honest, I don't like them very much."
Hosea's eyes straightened, and he whispered: "Emperor, this is cloud cotton of the highest quality. In the Golden Eagle Kingdom, it costs at least thirty gold coins per foot."
"So I'm curious," Alfred frowned and looked at Reggie, "Why do you give us such a low price? Is this considered mercy or charity?"
"This is the integrity of the merchant." Of course, Reggie would not be fooled. He could not touch the self-esteem of the Tianxing people at any time. "From the first time I sold cloud cotton at the annual fair, it has always been five gold coins per foot. Never before.
There have been changes.”
Alfred nodded: "I want to make a cloud cotton robe for each minister, but this material seems not enough."
"I still have some cloud cotton left, which adds up to almost two thousand feet."
"Deal!" Alfred threw the silk aside casually, "Congratulations, Emperor Suixue, we have made a business worth 10,000 gold coins. What else can we do besides cloud cotton?"
Reggie immediately asked someone to bring glass products, beads, ornaments, tableware and wine vessels. Nipoli quoted the prices one by one. Alfred's eyebrows tightened more and more until he roughly pushed the two girls away.
"You just need to tell me the total price!"
"A total of twenty-four thousand gold coins are needed."
"Deal! Is there anything else?"
"There is also the magical fire of broken snow!" Nipoli was about to recommend a gasoline lighter, but was rudely interrupted by Alfred.
"Needless to say, I want as much as you have, including the cheap papyrus and ale. Tell me, how much do all the remaining goods cost in total?"
Nipoli looked at Reggie awkwardly, and Reggie smiled slightly and signaled him to just say it.
"According to estimates, the remaining goods are worth sixty-four thousand gold coins."
"This is really disappointing." Alfred looked at Hosea with a sullen face.
Hosea shrugged and said: "Great Emperor, we are late."
"Are you blaming me?"
Hosea dared not speak.
Alfred looked at Reggie and said, "Do you know how long it has been since I left Tianxing Kingdom? Do you know how many gold coins I brought in total for this trip."
Reggie smiled and said, "I guess it won't be less than a hundred thousand."
"It's one million, a full million. Now you can only offer products with more than 60,000 gold coins. Don't you think this is ridiculous?"
He had the nerve to call others ridiculous when he went out to do business with one million gold coins, but for this mentally ill person, it was actually reasonable.
"There is a long way to go, and there are still many opportunities for us to do business..."
"I don't think you still have many opportunities. I don't want to waste time on your pitiful small business. I want to spend all the one million gold coins. Since you call yourself the Great Emperor, I believe you can think of a way."
Reggie laughed dryly and said: "I have never claimed to be..."
"What? Are you afraid? Don't you even have the courage to admit that you are the emperor?"
The early autumn afternoon was still hot, but the air in the room was so cold that it made people shiver. The two looked at each other and were silent for a few minutes. Reggie was the first to speak: "If you can wait a few more days, I will start from Suixue."
A large amount of goods have been transported from the city, I'm afraid that when it comes time to count the gold coins, you will tremble with distress."
"I'm looking forward to the moment of trembling," Alfred laughed, "but speaking of which, if you give away one hundred pounds of magic medicine for one gold coin, how much will you give away for one million gold coins?"
"One, ten million pounds..." Reggie's tongue trembled a little, and he forgot about it.
"I think you will abide by the rules you have set. Can you get ten million pounds of magic medicine?"
"I think I can..."
"Even if you can, how will you send it to Tianxing Kingdom?"
A merchant ship traveling upstream along the River of Chaos can carry up to 200,000 pounds of cargo.
Ten million pounds of cargo would require 500 merchant ships.
Reggie currently only has fifty merchant ships, and most of them have to deliver goods to other merchants. This time, the trouble is a bit big.
"Maybe we have to wait a little longer..."
"How long do you want me to wait, one year?"
From Suixue City to Tianxing Kingdom, it takes nearly a month to go back and forth, and it is divided into ten transportations, which really takes almost a year.
"Maybe we need to think more carefully..."
"You are cowardly again, Emperor Suixue!" Alfred smiled coldly, "Why don't we just make a bet? As long as you can produce enough goods, I will immediately give you one million gold coins. If you don't
You need to give me ten million pounds of miracle medicine, but you must give me the formula of the miracle medicine."
Reggie didn't speak, but Nipoli's expression changed, and even Hosea couldn't stand it. It was obvious that Alfred had not discussed it with him before making the decision.
"Great Emperor, we should not make such unreasonable demands..."
"When monarchs talk to each other, ministers should be quiet." Alfred glanced at Hosea, and his cold murderous look made Hosea swallow up everything he wanted to say.
Emperor Tianxing is not a mental patient, he is an excellent monarch, and he is using his methods to rid Tianxing Kingdom of pests forever.
"How about it, Emperor Suixue, do you dare to bet?"
This provocative smile was unbearable. Reggie nodded, gritted his teeth and said with a smile, "As you wish, we'll bet!"
