"This is not what you need to worry about. All you need to do is to help me with economic development." Gavin has always been a good person.
What he values is the outstanding business talent of young Archbishop Shangjin.
After several days of observation, she does have real talent and knowledge, has a keen intuition about trade, and may be more immature, but her thinking has not been solidified and she can learn from it.
A tender wrist can be tempered, but there is no way to think innovatively. There is something, there is nothing, there is nothing, it depends entirely on personal talent.
Gavin naturally wanted to bring her around to indulge her, assimilate her deeply, instill some of her ideas and styles into her, so that she can use it more easily.
Speaking of what I am best at, the young Archbishop of Shangjin immediately said with a smile: "I know many young people who are motivated and capable in the church.
After they heard that I was appreciated by you, they sent me a letter asking me to join the road construction union I was preparing to form... I wonder what you thought? ”
"What does the teaching leader mean?" Gavin did not answer directly, but asked back.
After all, I am not the goddess of wealth, so the opinions of the goddess spokesperson must be taken seriously.
"My grandfather... the head of the sect means, let me ask you for your opinion, he respects all your decisions." Barrasta answered truthfully.
"This is a good thing, you can make your own decisions! I only have one requirement, that is, to have real talents and knowledge. Those who are just a slut, don't wander in front of me, as it will only have the opposite effect." Gavin said affirmatively.
People are divided into groups, and birds of feathers gather together.
This common saying is easy to use in any world.
Even if you are not a child of the church, you may be the child of a businessman and a celebrity.
I dare not say that they are all elites, at least they are far above ordinary people's education, so the chance of becoming elites is naturally greater.
Except for a very small number of geniuses, most elites are cultivated, especially trade elites. The knowledge they learn is the experience accumulated by their ancestors through their blood and sweat. They can avoid stepping on a lot of mines, and the possibility of success is naturally greater.
This is not another reason why Gavin chose to use the Barras Tower, which is a big money to buy horse bones.
His extraordinary employment will greatly stimulate the young people in the Woking Church to move closer to him and want to take the opportunity to reach a high position. This is human nature.
If he wants to establish a new faction in the Woking Church, he naturally cannot expect those vested interests. Both their faith and ideas are deeply rooted and difficult to change.
The easiest thing to change and shape is the young people, especially those who are the second or third generations of the church, which is the primary goal.
Out of emotional bonds, the Woking Church will also tolerate them more than normal people.
Balasta is the granddaughter of Archbishop of Holy Coin, which is her greatest capital and resource.
This is reality.
The young Archbishop Jin looked as if he was a natural person and said, "Please rest assured, if you are a fool, I won't use it. It's too bad to do things with such a person, and I'll always hold back!"
"It's best if you understand this." Gavin encouraged him, "Try to do it boldly and don't be afraid of failure. Failure is the mother of success."
"Abide by the teachings." The young Archbishop of Shangjin responded loudly.
"The good show is going to be staged!" Gavin leaned forward and turned his eyes to the small golden curtain in front of him. The situation it showed was a luxurious trading hall in the Golden Tower, where two waves of merchants were sitting opposite each other.
The person on the right is wearing a white robe with white hair and beards, but it is very orderly in the care, giving people a feeling of being a fairy-like spirit.
Behind him was a frost giant, like a giant tower, with light blue skin, wearing tailor-made giant armor, flashing with colors similar to the skin. The mysterious and ancient runes on it seemed to tell history, and they must be not ordinary. Although the brown hair had gray skin, it still could not hide his might.
This group of people Gavin was very familiar with. It was Raymond, the lord of Retaven and his Frost Giant General.
The one sitting opposite the Lord of Raymond and the others was a group of weather-beaten sailors. This one can be seen from their sitting and lying down. It looks loose and in fact, it is a battle formation that can be both offensive and defense.
In the drunken eyes, they looked around from time to time with vigilance, as if they could jump up and draw their swords toward each other in the next moment. This is an instinct developed by living in dangerous environments all year round. Even if they are in a safe environment, they still cannot be changed.
The person in the head was the most outstanding. He was like a towering mountain, tall and strong, and his broad shoulders seemed to be able to carry the weight of the entire battlefield. His muscle lines were looming under a golden armor. Each raised muscle showed the powerful power he had tempered in countless battles and long and arduous journeys.
His face is like a sculptural sculpture carefully carved by time and war, with a rigid outline, and every line seems to be carved from the wind, sand and blood of the battlefield.
The dense black beard grew wildly, covering almost half of the face, leaving only a pair of deep and deep eyes exposed outside.
These eyes are like the cold stars flashing in the night sky, sharp and bold and alert as accumulated over the years of adventure. Just one look can make the enemy feel chilled.
His big hand was always unconsciously pressing on the long sword around his waist. The long sword also flashed with a cold and cold light, silently telling his own strength.
The most eye-catching thing is the holy emblem on the scabbard—an open staring eye with blue pupils and an outline of the eye is drawn on the back of a right-handed war iron glove.
That is the holy emblem of the guardian god Heim.
This person is not a supporter of the Lord of Battle, Tampas, but a believer of the God of Guardians.
He is no one else, it is Calder, the new world Discovery and Conqueror, and the captain of the Golden Legion Captain Calder, who has been popular on the west coast of the entire Feren continent in the past year.
The conquerors of the New World did not have the same rough expression. They put two pieces of sugar in front of them into the coffee cup in front of them, stirred them gently with a spoon for a few times, and raised their cups to the opposite city Lord Raymond and signaled: "Master, are you sure you don't taste this new drink? This is the dragon blood coffee made of dragon blood coffee beans from the New World.
It can not only refresh the mind, but also give people super vitality. Especially for males, it is a supreme treasure that can keep the heroic spirit forever! ”
"Thank you for your kindness," Raymond raised the teacup in his hand and said, "Compared with that stimulating drink, this immortal tea from the Far East Empire is more in line with my appetite. It also has the effect of refreshing the mind and has a strong auxiliary effect on the control elements! Should the fleet leader try it?"
"Your stuff is too bland, not something that men drink!" Calder said very unhappy.
"So the best thing for you is." Raymond did not force it and responded with a smile, "You drink your dragon blood coffee, I drink my Yunwu Fairy Tea."
Both of them have become old foxes. They seem to be talking about drinks, but in fact they mean something.
Captain Calder invited Raymond City Lord to join the development of the New World, while Raymond City Lord refused to say that he would not be able to get into this muddy waters, and the two were just trade relations.
Just as the two were embarrassed and speechless again, the door opened, and the two groups of people walked in without distinction, walked behind the Lord of Raymond and Captain Calder respectively, and whispered to them while handing a list to them.
The two couldn't help but put down the cup in their hands at the same time, and a smile appeared invisible at the corner of their mouths. The list of goods they were holding was not theirs, but the other party's.
The people who just came in were sent to the other party to inspect the goods. Only by ensuring that the other party's goods really existed can we proceed to the next step.
After all, the amount of goods involved in this transaction is too large, so it is not an exaggeration to be cautious no matter how you are.
Calder took the lead in breaking his silence and said, "Hello the City Lord, my tax personnel have completed the valuation of your goods, and the total price given is 35.2 million. I wonder if you agree?"
"Overall, it's fair!" The Lord of Raymond answered affirmatively, "But your valuation is entirely based on the market price of a single piece. We are now selling it for bulk, and the price will be at least 20% higher!"
The adjutant beside Calder slammed the table and roared, "Don't think we don't understand trade. I'm also a maritime businessman and have done a lot of business. The more bulk purchases, shouldn't it be cheaper? Why do you get more expensive?" The Lord of Raymond picked up the tea cup again, blew the tea leaves gently, and after a sip, Mance responded in an orderly manner: "Deputy Captain, what you are talking about is ordinary goods, but look at the goods we bring?
Which of the finely cast dwarf steel ingots, fine dwarf weapons and dwarf heavy armor, fine uniforms and cotton cloth, war horses and super-large war beasts, isn't a strategic item? Which one is not carefully selected?
You may think of ways to buy hundreds of items on the market, but if you want to buy thousands of items, even if you search all the Deep Water City, Baldur Gate, and Ascatra, you probably won’t be able to make up half of them.
Not to mention that it will take at least several years to get them all together. Isn’t time money?
Isn’t it natural for the price to rise during bulk transactions? ”
"Bang!"
The adjutant couldn't help but slap the table again, gritted his teeth and said, "You are taking advantage of the situation! Start the price!"
"I'm just saying the facts when I'm doing business." The Lord of Raymond still looked calm and composed.
"You..." The adjutant wanted to roar. The Captain Calder next to him waved his hand, and immediately stuck when he said something. He kicked the stool and sat back angrily.
Captain Calder looked like he had been expecting it. While stirring dragon blood coffee with a spoon, he responded tepidly: "Your Majesty seems to be reversing a concept.
It is indeed difficult to collect goods in large quantities from the market, but will your bulk shipments have different impacts on the market and cause the prices of the same commodity to fall sharply?
We will price you according to the market unit price, which is the biggest discount. How can you take a bite back?
Do you think who else can eat such a huge strategic material except me? Or are you going to dismantle these goods for retail sale? How long do you plan to sell them all? Is time not money? ”
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
He threw back the problem.
"Buying and selling are about the market." Raymond said tit-for-tat, "I can guarantee that we can produce such a large amount of goods at one time, the entire Ference coast is the only one.
But the fleet leader is really sure that you are the only buyers who can eat our goods?
I heard that an ocean-going fleet is being organized in Deep Water City, and the Pashas of Kalinshan also have this intention... You see, this is an invitation letter sent by their representatives, but I had an appointment with the fleet captain first, and I have not agreed to them yet..."
His implication is very obvious. It is now a seller's market. If Captain Calder and others do not agree to their own conditions, he will consider the next one.
Anyway, for him, there is no difference between whom the goods are sold to.
But for Captain Calder, the meaning is completely different.
Not only will they lose this batch of military supplies, they will also send them to their competitors.
They just took the lead in discovering the new world, which does not mean that the new world is theirs. The entire Ferenze coast is moving.
The Lord of Raymond undoubtedly hit the key point accurately, leaving Captain Calder speechless for a long time.
The Lord of Raymond took advantage of the situation and chased: "I heard that the fleet captain had just led the Golden Legion in the Kingdom of Pait in the New World, defeating the more with fewer people. He led only five hundred men to defeat the enemy's 30,000 troops, and successfully landed and captured the capital of Uratos.
It is just that it is easy to conquer the world and it is difficult to defend the world. You will inevitably face the enemy's crazy counterattack next. Only by defending your own victorious results can you create more wealth! ”
He seemed to be praising Captain Calder's great achievements, but actually exposing their shortcomings.
It is indeed a great achievement to defeat 30,000 with five hundred people.
But it also shows that the Captain Calder fleet is short of troops, otherwise there would be no need to take any dangerous moves.
Their embarrassing situation cannot be alleviated in a short period of time. All personnel must be fully utilized. The best way is to arm them to the teeth, so that they can fight ten, or even one against a hundred.
Captain Calder did not surrender, but made a final struggle and said, "Since the Lord of Raymond knows our record, we should be clear about our abilities. Compared with Deep Water City and Kalinshan, we have already gained a firm foothold in the New World.
If we can reach an agreement, the transaction will not be the end, but the beginning. You will be our first trading partner in Feren, and our New World specialties will be given priority to you..."
Bang!
A crisp collision completely interrupted Captain Calder's struggle.
Hulala...
The venue was full of sounds of tables and chairs pushing. All the Golden Legion soldiers led by Calder were unsheathed, glaring at Raymond and his group, and their eyes were involuntarily sweeping towards the place where the sound came.
There was an additional soldier wearing dwarf armor there, and his surroundings were covered with radioactive obsidian fragments.
They recognized it at a glance, which was broken by the obsidian weapons commonly used by the Maztecs in the New World.
The Lord of Raymond responded with a smile: "Don't be nervous, I just tried the defense of our dwarf heavy armor. I heard that the most used by the Masterks is this obsidian weapon?
Although this weapon is very sharp, it has never been satisfactory in terms of hardness. No wonder the fleet captain's soldiers can fight against a hundred.
As long as we have our dwarf heavy armor, can those slightly stronger slaves do this? ”
Even though Calder was very scheming, he couldn't help but look dark at this moment.
He suddenly regretted it, regretting his previous high-profile appearance.
This certainly allowed them to absorb a lot of financial support, but also absorbed a large number of competitors for themselves. At the same time, it greatly exposed the intelligence of the New World, leaving themselves in a disadvantaged state in various negotiations.
This is the case now.
What they are talking about now is not a small deal. The premium of 20% does not sound very high, but it is very terrifying to put it on the total, as high as more than 7 million, and the total price reaches 42.24 million.
The total goods they brought back from the New World this time were only about 50 million.
According to the urinary nature shown by the other party, they will definitely find fault with their goods. For example, no one except them can eat this bulk goods. If the shipment is shipped in a large amount in a short period of time, it is very likely to cause depreciation. A 20% reduction in price will directly reduce their goods to the same as the two.
This is absolutely unacceptable.
Because military goods are just one of the reasons why they came back this time, another important reason is to recruit manpower and ships.
In addition, during the sailing process, a large amount of supplies and other conventional goods are required to be supplemented.
This all costs money, and the quantity is quite large, so you need to prepare at least 10 million.
As expected.
The city lord of Retaven prepared a three-combo attack, and the last attack was targeting their goods, even the reason was similar to what Captain Calder expected, but what he did not expect was that they were even darker than they thought, and directly discounted their goods by 30%.
With this positive and negative, the price difference of 20 million will come out.
Originally, the lord of Ritawen City needed to pay them a difference of 15 million.
Now it has become a difference between them and they need to pay more than seven million to each other.
Even though the golden legion led by Captain Calder's fleet was invincible in the sea of tracelessness, he expanded his territory in the Maztec continent, like an emperor ruled the world, and was shocked by the opponent's black-hearted price suppression method.
They were also cursing wildly in their hearts. They were licking blood on the New World and siege cities and land. They did everything that were human, not human, and the wealth they plundered when they arrived at the other party. This method was much faster than robbery and was even more cruel.
