"Oh, Paya Kingdom? Never heard of it." The tall guard showed disdain on his face, "If you want to go in, just leave this..."
Looking at the other person's rubbing index finger, middle finger and thumb, the businessman Richard took a deep breath. He needs money now, how can a small guard dare to be so rampant?…
The businessman Liu Meng pulled his sleeve at this time, watched him turn around, and then whispered in his ear, "Let's go back, the people here are really bullying."
Businessman Richard thought for a moment and then shook his head and refused, saying simply, "Just do your best."
The businessman Richard put a silver coin into the other party's hand and said, "Give your brothers some good wine..."
The guard weighed the silver coins in his hand and said, "Hey, there are two of us, what do you mean by just giving it to one? I have wine to drink and he has no wine to drink, or he has wine to drink and I have no wine to drink? Huh?"
"My fault, my fault..." The businessman Richard stuffed another silver coin into the tall guard's hand.
At this time, the tall guard showed a satisfied smile and said, "Go in, but you are the only one. Others need to pay to enter."
"You..." Businessman Liu Meng was furious and wanted to leave. However, with the comfort of businessman Richard, he still stood outside and waited patiently.
"I'll come as soon as I go. Don't worry, we will definitely win the deal here this time." After the businessman Richard said to Liu Meng, he quickly came to the box carried by the sailor, hurriedly opened the box and took it out.
With a bag of fine salt in his arms, he ran into the stone exchange in front of him.
The exchange is a place in the port for small businessmen without shops to trade with each other. There is a stall inside, and you can set up a stall for a day with only a small rent.
After paying the rent of 10 copper coins, the businessman Richard was led to a rather remote corner by the stout administrator.
"You're late today. We only have this stall, so let's make do with it..." the manager said casually, smacked the melon seeds and turned around to leave, not caring about the ugly look on the merchant Richard's face.
After sorting it out helplessly, the businessman Richard began to shout with confidence: "We are selling fine salt, good fine salt..."
The exchange is not very big, because it only provides small traders, and larger merchants have their own independent shops.
But the reason why Businessman Richard chose this place is because it has great circulation. When good products appear, these small traders will let more big businessmen know about this place, allowing Businessman Richard to do more and more business.
Big deal.
The small exchange allowed everyone to hear the shouts of businessman Richard.
"Fine salt..." The first thing that came to everyone's mind was disbelief.
Ordinary wealthy people can only afford a small amount of bitter salt. Big businessmen and small nobles can only afford coarse salt. Only fine salt can be used and purchased by big nobles.
Fine salt is not only expensive, but also priceless. It is the highest status symbol in everyone's mind.
However, curiosity still drove some customers, merchants and vendors to surround Merchant Richard, and even the administrator peeked in.
"Everyone, what I have in my hand is fine salt. I am a young man. You can try it first..." The businessman Richard poured a small pile from the bag and put it on the palm of his hand, then raised it for everyone to see.
A businessman first boldly and carefully pinched the tip of the small pile of salt and put it in his mouth, smashing it.
"No sand, no bitterness, melts in your mouth, pure salty taste, really fine salt..."
Then his eyes lit up and he asked: "How do you sell this fine salt?"
Businessman Richard laughed with satisfaction, "On the market, 10 grams of fine salt costs 10 gold coins. Here, 10 grams of fine salt costs 6 gold coins. Of course, we also do large transactions."
Everyone looked at the fine salt in his hand in confusion... Can it still carry out large-scale transactions? Is it true?...
"Let me try..." One person pinched a handful of fine salt in the hand of businessman Richard again.
"I'll try it too..." Another person pinched it.
"I'll come too..."
At this time, a big hand came and grabbed all the fine salt in the hand of businessman Richard.
The businessman Richard frowned and looked along the palm of his hand, wondering who could be so rude as to grab fine salt with his big hands.
When he looked up, he saw that it was the administrator of the exchange. The businessman Richard smiled calmly, trying his best not to show an expression on his face that was not suitable for the current scene.
But the other merchants and hawkers behind didn't taste it, but they looked at the administrator and were too angry to say anything.
"You have a lot of fine salt? You actually boast that you can trade in large quantities?" The administrator sipped the fine salt one mouthful at a time, seeming to like the salty taste very much.
"Of course, we are looking for capable buyers." Businessman Richard smiled happily. The biggest buyer he was looking for was either the person behind the exchange, the person in power on Haisha Island, or someone from the Tassie Islands.
king.
"Where are your goods? Our exchange has taken care of everything..." The administrator stuffed all the fine salt in his hand into his big mouth, and then licked the remnants on his hand clean.
"Outside, right outside..." The businessman Richard led the administrator outside with a smile on his face.
All the merchants also went out to see how much fine salt could be traded in large quantities.
When I came to the door, I saw four large boxes placed at the door of the exchange.
Everyone exclaimed, "No way, these four big boxes are all fine salt? How much does it cost?"
Businessman Richard waved his hand with a cheerful expression, "Not that much, only one box is for fine salt, and the other boxes are for several other products."
"One box is a lot..." Although everyone was also surprised, they were not as shocked as they were just now.
After the administrator came out, a tall guard who didn't know why came to him and asked, "Brother, why are you all out? What happened?"
The administrator pointed to the businessman Richard and said: "This guy brought fine salt and said there was a lot of it. I came to take a look. If it was true, we would have given out 10 grams of fine salt."
We can earn 4 gold coins, and this box of fine salt is enough for us to buy the best manor on the main island of Taxi."
The tall guard curled his lips, "They are just businessmen from a small country. Where did they get so much fine salt? I think they should be arrested and tortured to extract a confession. Ask them where the fine salt comes from."
The administrator glanced at him and said, "Okay, you're smart. Now you go find the port city defense officer and bring someone over. If things go well, we will be rich by then..."
"Look..." The tall guard slipped away while no one was paying attention.
The businessman Richard opened the wooden box and was introducing tea, ceramics, rice paper, etc. to others, which were all high-end products.
The administrator walked up to it and looked at the box with so many goodies. His eyes looked like gold coins.
When the businessman Richard saw that the administrator had just arrived, he immediately pulled him to the box containing fine salt. After opening the wooden box, the fine salt packed with exquisite ceramics suddenly appeared in front of the administrator.
"These are all fine salt. There are 6 large clay pots in total. Each pot is 30,000 grams, and the total is 180,000 grams. You only need to give 108,000 gold coins or a crystal core of the same value to take it away. This
I’ll give you six clay pots as gifts, what do you think?”
"Okay, very good..." The administrator nodded with satisfaction.
"But I don't have so many gold coins with me. Can you wait a moment?"
"No problem, of course we can wait." Richard smiled with a smile on his face.
The administrator then saw on the other side, businessman Liu Meng selling some tea and other small batches to the small traders who followed him.
At this time, Liu Meng already had a lot of copper coins and silver coins in his hands. With the continuous transactions, Liu Meng's level also rose to the first level unknowingly.
merchant:
First-level talent: mental arithmetic ability, able to calculate the profit and loss value of a transaction faster.
"Hey, hey... whoever asked you to trade outside, please come in..." The administrator immediately yelled: "Also, I have packed all the goods here, put down everything in your hands, everyone give it to me
Get inside the house."
Everyone was startled, and the vendors looked at him angrily, then reluctantly put down the goods in their hands and walked into the exchange.
The businessman Liu Meng bitterly closed all the wooden boxes. The transaction was interrupted, and his upgrade speed was also interrupted. If he had force value, he really wanted to punch the administrator twice.
The businessman Richard was also very dissatisfied, but after all, the other party was a big customer, and behind him was the lord of Haisha Island. Without those small merchants and hawkers, the lord of Haisha Island could still eat.
So the businessman Richard was still there with a smile on his face, chatting with the administrator.
Soon, groups of soldiers came running. They were dressed in animal skins of various colors. Most of them held double axes in their hands, and a few of them had small wooden bucklers.
Hundreds of people quickly surrounded businessman Richard and others.
"What's going on? What do you want to do? We are legal businessmen." Businessman Richard immediately asked.
A city defense officer wearing an iron helmet came out and announced loudly: "The Taxi royal family lost several boxes of fine salt yesterday, and today it happened that both the loot and the stolen goods were stolen. I have captured them all."
Without giving any explanation to the merchant Richard and others, he would directly capture them and the sailors.
A dozen sailors immediately drew out their machetes and confronted each other, "Which of you dares?"
The officer drew out the two tomahawks from his back, jumped up, and knocked the scimitars from the hands of the sailor who was speaking with the two axes, and then used his right hand to chop with the axe. The movement was so fast that the sailor did not react, and his slightly surprised face appeared.
As his head fell to the ground.
"Ah, you actually killed him..." Businessman Liu Meng pointed at the officer, "You don't deserve to die..."
"Hey, I won't die a good death. If you resist again, I won't mind killing you all." The city defense officer licked the blood on the ax and looked at everyone fiercely.
"Stop it, we'll follow you..." Businessman Richard waved his hand, "Living is important..." Then he looked up at the sky, and saw a black eagle hovering in the sky. In the distance, a spy pretending to be a passerby quickly
Leave the crowd and run away.
Qin Feng on the Swift Fire was lying on the Grand Master's chair on the top deck. He slowly opened his eyes and said to himself: "It's just a good time to test the combat capabilities of the newly recruited Marines."
"Order: Liu Man and Ye Tian will take their own teams and wait for an opportunity to rescue Richard and the others."
