Chapter 347: Clearing Accounts and Being Sealed
It is said that when I went in for the first time, I was sent out in just two minutes. Although I was not frightened into unconsciousness, I was at least frightened to tears.
But this young pastor was very strong and quickly sorted out her emotions and went deep into it again.
Every time I confront her, the entire Ghost Manor feels like it is facing a formidable enemy.
Because she knows a lot about the ghost manor, there is no way to scare her.
At least Wuliu's paralyzing winding, Black Heather's paralyzing touch and a series of special skills would hardly have a surprising effect on her.
To deal with her, we need to focus more on the atmosphere, psychological suggestion, etc., and then defeat her.
It’s just that the further you go to the back, the harder it gets.
The girl pastor is not only adapting rapidly, but also growing rapidly.
With the completion of the transaction, the crowd gathered at Yewen Pond is slowly dispersing.
They will take the ghost wine with them and travel to all parts of Faerûn to sell them at higher prices.
Believe that wherever the ghost wine is delivered, the reputation of Gavin and Vizeme Estate will spread.
If you want to gather so many boats and so many people here at once, you have to wait for the new wine of Vizeme Manor to be released.
As the last merchant ship left.
That night a celebration party was held at Vizeme Manor.
This normally dark ghost manor, when a huge bonfire and candles are lit, except for being slightly cold, is difficult to associate with the spooky appearance during the day.
Only a few people attended the meeting, but their status was prominent.
The person sitting in the chair is naturally the owner of this place, Gavin, the owner of Wezeme Manor.
Sitting on the left are Lord Ilmet, Regina and Olive.
Sitting on the right are the Grand Inquisitor of Wallonia, Darnell and August.
Rather than a celebration party, it would be more appropriate to call it a profit distribution meeting for this auction.
Gavin held up the wine glass in his hand and stood up first and said: "Thank you very much for coming all the way. The successful holding of this ghost wine auction is inseparable from your strong support. I believe that this time Successful cooperation is just the beginning. We will have more cooperation opportunities in the future. Let us drink this cup to celebrate.”
“Well said, I hope I can. There will be more and more opportunities for us to cooperate in the future.”
“The success of this auction is due to Mr. Gavin and Miss Regina. We may not be able to contribute much, at most we will be behind. Wave the flag and shout."
"Don't be humble, Mr. Darnell, your reputation for fairness has helped a lot. Come on, let us have a drink."
"Please."
"Please."
Others stood up and responded.
After finishing the wine, Gavin sat down and said straight to the point: "The transactions have been completed and the accounts have been sorted out. We can start clearing the accounts."
"Wait a minute. "Regana suddenly stood up and said, "Before that, there is still a small process to go through."
"What process?" Gavin looked confused.
This matter was obviously unplanned, but judging from the expressions of others, they knew it very well, and they were the only ones in the dark.
Lord Ilmet stood up, drew out the sword in his hand, and said with a solemn expression: "Gavin Nott accepts the seal."
Gavin's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately understood what they wanted What to do? He stood up quickly and knelt down on one knee in front of Lord Ilmet.
Lord Ilmet continued: "In the name of the successor to the cloak king Ankar Balisk and the current guardian of the Battle Valley, I appoint you as the Sir of the Battle Valley. From today on, officially Take on the responsibility of guarding the Land of Three Rivers, and Griffin Hill will be your inheritance for generations to come.”
"I, Gavin Nott, am willing to inherit Ankh Balisk's legacy and protect this place for generations." Gavin responded loudly.
"I, Valon Yar, in the name of the current Grand Inquisitor of the Hammer of Justice Monastery and the Hand of Tyr, witness today's sacred oath and the ceremony is completed." Valon had already stood up and stood at Ir Lord Met was not far away and said loudly.
Lord Ilmet's long sword tapped Gavin on the shoulders, and a smile appeared on his serious face: "Sir Gavin, please get up."
There is no divine light coming, nor any other fantastic sights.
This is just the purest and simplest oath of allegiance ceremony for humans.
The object of the oath was not Lord Ilmet, but the legacy of the cloaked king Anka who had been dead for hundreds of years.
Because Lord Ilmet and their ancestors were the chief swordsmen around Anka, they only managed the Battle Valley after Anka died and never recognized themselves as the owners of the Battle Valley. If anyone can inherit Ankh's legacy, lead the rise of Battle Valley, and unify the entire valley, they will swear allegiance to the new supreme king.
“Thank you, Lord Lord, and thank you, Your Excellency, the Grand Judge.” Gavin’s mouth was almost split to the back of his head.
Whether there is this canonization ceremony or not, he is the actual owner of the Three Rivers Land.
The main function of this canonization ceremony is to conclude a covenant.
As a canonizer and witness.
When Gavin's right to rule in the Land of Three Rivers is questioned, they will have the responsibility to come forward and clarify.
When an enemy declares war on Gavin, it is equivalent to declaring war on the other two parties at the same time, and they have the right to send troops.
Whether they will send troops depends on whether the relationship between Gavin and them is harmonious enough, as well as a series of problems in their own situation - nothing is static.
“No need to thank me, you deserve this.” Lord Ilmet patted Gavin’s shoulder affectionately and said, “Do a good job, I look forward to you turning the Asaba River into a floating Rosa. That day on the road to Vail.”
The admiration in Lord Ilmet's eyes could not be concealed no matter what.
It's just that look, it's obviously not the look of a lord looking at his subordinates, but more like an old father looking at his new son-in-law. Although Regina is not his biological daughter, she is better than his biological daughter. She has been entrusted to him since she was very young.
He has watched her grow up, and he knows very well how outstanding his daughter is, and the arrogance that matches her excellence.
Growing up, there were countless males surrounding her, ranging from teenagers to hundreds of years old. What made her look at her in a different light was the memory of Lord Ilmet. , none.
What made her circle around him in turn was that the young man in front of her was the only one.
After just two short contacts of less than ten days.
Lord Ilmet discovered that the other party did possess this charm and ability.
Because the other party has very unique ideas and an eclectic style of doing things.
Only such a young man can match Regina, who has such unbridled ideas.
"Believe me, this day won't be too far away." Gavin said confidently.
In recent times, what he has communicated with Lord Ilmet the most is the issue of managing the Asaba River around the Land of Three Rivers, and how to make full use of the convenient water transportation.
Even if Rosaville Road is not replaced, its irreplaceable role in Battle Valley must be impacted.
“If you can really do this, you will be the biggest hero in the entire Battle Valley. Let all the people of Battle Valley get rid of the hundreds of years of shackles that those cunning bastards in Sambia have put on our necks. ." There was unconcealable anger and helplessness in Lord Ilmet's words.
Half of the Rosaville Road is within the Battle Valley, running through the area with the largest number of residents in the Battle Valley.
Conversely, most of the settlements in Battle Valley are built around this road.
But the actual control of this road is not in the hands of Battle Valley, but in the hands of Sambian merchants.
Through trade and this trade route, they have more and more influence and control over the Battle Valley.
This trade route is their decisive weapon against the Battle Valley.
Following this trade route and sending troops to attack the Battle Valley are all considered the worst.
The most superior method, which is also the method that Sambian businessmen are best at, is commerce.
Once the relationship between Battle Valley and Sambia becomes tense, they do not need to send troops. They only need to seal the Rosaville Road at Black Feather Bridge and do not allow merchants to enter or exit.
In less than a year, Battle Valley will have to surrender without a fight.
Many of their cash crops must be transported out via this road, and some daily necessities need to be transported in via this road.
Sambia does not rely so heavily on this road. They have at least two land routes leading to Cormyr and one sea route leading to the Moon Sea region.
"Those bastards are really going too far. They are treating the valley as a back garden and letting them pick the fruits." Gavin looked like he felt the same.
After the auction, he had a new understanding of the lower limit of the group of businessmen in Sambia.
There was Carter’s lobbying before.
Later, they jointly bid to disrupt the order of the auction and achieve the goal of buying at a low price.
This is why there is such a disparity between high and low prices for ghost wines at auction.
The high price was basically obtained by other chambers of commerce, especially those small and medium-sized chambers of commerce, because the Sambia Chamber of Commerce kept raising the price from behind, as if it was determined to win, and took down all the ghost wines, and then suddenly in the middle Withdraw your hands.
Most of the low prices were bought by Sambia. Because of the previous high prices, the funds brought by many businessmen were exhausted in advance.
In the end I could only watch as Sambia was sold at a low price.
In order to avoid further lowering the average price of ghost wine, Gavin withheld the remaining five thousand bottles of ghost wine.
Rather than continuing the auction, it would be better to sell it to other merchants afterwards at the current average price at the auction.
Judging from the current popularity of ghost wine, Gavin only needs a little leakage to sell out in less than three days, and the price will definitely not be lower than the average auction price.
"Sambia is not like this now. There is no need for a group of villains to ruin our fun." The chief judge of Wallonia looked unconcerned. , if they don’t do this, they will be sorry for their good reputation as jackal merchants.
"Your Excellency, the Grand Judge, is right." Gavin said with a smile, "Today is our celebration banquet, a great day to distribute money. Let's continue the previous topic and settle the accounts.
Manor A total of 19,000 bottles of ghost wine were taken out of the wine cellar, of which 2,000 had been shipped to the Hammer of Justice Monastery.
Seven thousand had not yet been sold, and the auction price of 10,000 was 100. Eight hundred and eighty thousand.
According to our original agreement, the base price was calculated as 200,000 yuan. After deducting this part, there was still 1.68 million yuan.
The three families share it equally, each family has 560,000 yuan, plus each family has 3,000 bottles of ghost wine. Is there any problem with this account? "
Gavin spread out an account book on the table, using a simple form to copy the simplest total number of accounts. The detailed accounts below are two fingers thick.
He He didn't play tricks on the accounts, it would be too stupid to do so.
His cooperation with the two has just begun, and there will be many uses for each other in the future.
"Hiss, hiss..."
Even the people present were all wealthy people, and they couldn't help but take a breath of air at this moment.
Since Gavin has always been responsible for the accounting, although they know that the amount obtained from this auction is not small, they do not have the detailed amount.
Even though the three companies split their accounts, each company still made a net profit of 1.1 million (the remaining ghost wine was calculated based on the average price of 180/bottle). How terrifying.
"If nothing else happens, we will be able to divide at least this amount every year from now on." Gavin added quietly beside him.
