Chapter 373: Reserve Plan
What if you don't even give them a chance to talk to the top and cut them down?
The more I thought about it, the more I feared.
Before leaving, Copperfield and his party even wrote a suicide note.
This fear reached its extreme when he was surrounded and taken down by people as soon as he met the Second Legion of the Eternal Night Army, and after asking for his identity, he was thrown into a small dark room that did not see the light of day.
However, in terms of equipment and military literacy, the Eternal Night Commander has broken Sir Copperfield's perception of the barbarian natives, even the regular armies of the Brian family and the Kingsley family.
The other party's attitude towards them really doesn't look like they pay attention to them, they are like lambs to the slaughter, and they can only honestly wait for the final judgment.
But in the end, he turned around and told him that he had been received by the supreme ruler of the Eternal Night Army, which made Sir Copperfield even more confused.
said that people valued them, and at the beginning they were directly thrown into prison, and no one cared about them.
said that people don't pay attention to them, and now it is the supreme ruler of the other party who comes forward, which is also a luxury they didn't expect before.
So young.
This was the first feeling Sean left on Copperfield.
In fact, when Sean was associated with the name of the supreme ruler of the Eternal Night Army, most of the first thoughts that popped into the minds of those who saw him were this.
In fact, after ten years of training and development, Sean's initial childishness has completely faded, and he has entered the most golden age of his life - in his early twenties and less than thirty.
Due to his personal cultivation, the speed of his physical aging will be stretched for a long, long time, even if he fails to enter the champion knight or control the warlock, this process will be as long as sixty or seventy years, and if he crosses this hurdle, it will be even longer.
This age has long been the pillar of an ordinary family, the father of several children.
But when it is connected with the ruler of a big force, it is too young, especially when this huge force is still established by itself, it is even more incredible, when the Eternal Night Army leader begins to rise, how big is the other party?
Sean didn't give Sir Copperfield time to think about it, and said, "I heard that His Majesty the Grand Duke Buck personally summoned and appointed a Bryan as the leader of the grain merchants of the Flower Language Plateau, can't it be you?"
Hearing this, Sir Copperfield's cold sweat "hmm" came down, which was the worst opening sentence he expected, which meant that the information in the other party's hands was detailed enough, and it also meant that the other party might be held accountable for this, which was by no means a good start for them.
But the denial in this case was a joke on his own life, and Sir Copperfield replied stiffly: "My lord, we are just a group of lowly merchants, running around to feed our families, and we go wherever there is business, and we have a pure business relationship with the Kingsley family, and there is no other deeper connection. β
"There are no other deep connections? Not necessarily, right? Among the Kingsley family soldiers we captured, many of them are from the Flower Language Plateau, I believe this is not an isolated case?" Sean's voice did not rise or fall, he could not hear joy or anger, and it was impossible to touch his true thoughts.
"That's a person who sees money, accepts the employment of the Kingsley family, and it is also an ordinary behavior, I don't represent them, I just represent the Huayu Plateau grain merchant who does his duty. Sir Copperfield scolded the Brians who had accepted the Kingsley family's employ.
Hello, you sell food, sell food, and run away to be a mercenary?
It's okay now, even if you get more money, what's the use of not taking it home, and let them make a fuss with it.
Sean said straight to the point: "I know your intentions, I won't buy you a grain of grain." β
"Ah...... Lord Lord...... "Sir Copperfield's mouth opened wide, not knowing how to answer, since he stepped through this door, he had been led by the nose by the young lord of the Eternal Night.
Sean waved his hand, interrupting Sir Copperfield's argument and said bluntly, "You have two choices now, the first is to let the grain rot in your hands, and the second is to barter and exchange the grain for the specialties of the Eternal Night Lord." β
"Barter?" Sean's tempo was obviously too fast, and Copperfield was a little overwhelmed.
It was said that they would not buy a grain of their grain, but now it has become barter.
Copperfield wasn't stupid either, and in an instant he understood what the young lord really meant.
Selling grain to the Eternal Night Commander is just a one-shot deal, but bartering is different, and if you trade your own goods, it's a double deal.
Could it be that this young lord wants to use the hands of these grain merchants to open the market of the Huayu Plateau?
If the other party really has this kind of thought, he will definitely have the product in his hand.
Sir Copperfield said with a bitter face: "I don't seem to have any other choice, barter, but the price of food and the goods of your collar, can we make our own choice?"
Sean seems to have given them two options, but in reality there is only one.
The second is bartering, although they don't know what the commodity is, but they can recover a certain cost, and once the grain rots in their hands, it will be lost.
"The price of grain, I will convert it to you according to the normal market price of the plains of Asia Minor, but you need to transport the grain to the designated location, rest assured, we will not deliberately make things difficult for you, as long as you deliver the grain to the place where our transport ships can load, as for the goods of our territory, of course, you will choose by yourself. Sean bluntly threw out his bottom line.
Now they are not buying and selling goods normally, and they can bargain.
Copperfield, these highland grain merchants are fish and meat on the board, and they can only be slaughtered by Sean.
However, compared to the food in their hands, Sean has a long-term interest in mind.
No matter how much grain there is, there is also an actual quantity, if you can take this opportunity to open the market of the Huayu Plateau with the help of these grain merchants, the benefits will be long-term.
So Sean didn't slaughter them, but offered a relatively fair price.
"Your Excellency is merciful. Sir Copperfield praised him heartily, and was somewhat surprised in his heart, although the situation was not the best he expected, but it was not the worst, and the young lord in front of him seemed to have his own long-term plans.
"No need to thank me, it's just a deal, but I have a little strings attached. Sean continued.
"What are the strings attached?" said the lord. Copperfield's heart sank, and the secret path was here.
"Next time you transport goods, don't transport grain, I heard that the wine of the Huayu Plateau is famous all over the world, you transport more of this, the stronger the wine, the better, it is really not possible, all kinds of beer is also made, this is officially purchased by our military leader, we will give you a fair price, as well as all kinds of unique documents, as well as antiquities from the period of the ancient Andes Empire, I am personally also very interested, please Sir in the future in the business, help pay attention." β
"That's all?" Copperfield was stunned and stunned.
It's not that Sean's request is too difficult, it's too simple.
Compared with transporting grain, it is less difficult to transport wine, especially those spirits, which require several catties of grain to brew one catty.
And the price is much higher, several times Ashan, except for the Huayu Plateau, wine is an out-and-out luxury in any military commander.
The special case of the Huayu Plateau is also caused by the unique geographical environment, and their excess grain cannot be transported, so they can only make wine.
As for the unique documents and antiquities from the Andes Empire, they are purely personal hobbies, and people just ask for help to pay attention to them.
Wait a minute.
What does the other party mean that after this trip, will he continue to run here?
What are you kidding, with such a trip, it is enough for them to consume, how can they run a second trip?
Unless their goods are attractive enough to be transported back to the Huayu Plateau to sell well, then they don't need to say that the profit-seeking merchants will ignore the risks and frantically rush here.
This young lord is so confident in the goods in his domain?
Confident that they will become repeat businessmen?
Copperfield's questioning lasted less than two days.
On the afternoon of the second day, after a brief meeting with the Lord of the Eternal Night, the sample exhibition fleet in their mouths arrived.
That's right, it's the fleet, it's all the kind of merchant ships with big bellies and overloads, a full fifteen, lined up in front of Sir Copperfield, very visually striking.
Fifteen merchant ships were one of the best caravans in any military commander, but in the hands of the Eternal Night military commander, they were only used for exhibitions to new customers.
Sir Copperfield has never seen this kind of generosity for so many years.
After getting on the boat, they couldn't take their eyes off it, and they followed the young shopping guide assigned to them by the young lord.
Copperfield thought that he had seen a lot of things, whether it was the life of nobles or commoners, he had seen most of them, but the sample exhibition ship of the Eternal Night Army broke their perception, and he couldn't name many of the things on it, so he could only ask the young shopping guide non-stop.
"What is this?"
"This is porcelain, a container used to hold things, there is a great difference in type and quality, this exquisite blue and white porcelain, most of them are used as decorations, and there is a slightly worse white porcelain, which is used for use, in addition to providing a customized service, as long as you give us the pattern you need, we can make the pattern on the porcelain, this porcelain is called badge porcelain, currently in the plains of Asia Minor, it is very popular with lords and nobles, and even the daily utensils of Her Royal Highness Princess Regent have been replaced with this kind of porcelain, please see this is the crown griffin porcelain for the royal family of Lancelotγ β
As the cabin opened, a whole set of porcelain appeared in front of Copperfield, from teacups, bowls and plates and other daily necessities, to large and small vases, and even some of them were used by Sir Copperfield because of their appearance alone.
Although the shapes are different, the patterns on them are strikingly similar, ranging from simple to complex, without exception, the crown griffin and the rose are intertwined, which is the personal medal of Princess Sophia of the Lancelot royal family.
The crowned griffins are golden yellow, and the roses are bright red.
The two are made of white porcelain as a drawing board, intertwined with each other, which is very visually impactful.
Sir Copperfield and his entourage couldn't take their eyes off it, how high-class it would be to have such a set of things in their own estate, or to invite three or five friends to taste the wine together, or to take it out and use it at a grand party.
"Is this set for sale?" asked Sir Copperfield, red-eyed, who he had already thought of as a buyer for this set of porcelain, and the Brian family, the rulers of the Flower Language Plateau, would certainly be interested.
"I'm sorry, this is just an exhibit, and with the exclusive badge of the Lancelot royal family, the product can't be sold, I personally suggest, don't touch this kind of buyer too single goods, after all, limited by technology and output, the price of this container is relatively high, the average person can't accept it, if Jazz is interested, you can buy this kind of commodity that is easy to be accepted by the public, and then negotiate with the buyer, and then order the badge porcelain is not too late." The young shopper replied with a smile.
"Thank you, sir, for the reminder, I lost my temper, I'm sorry, I just lost my respect, I don't know what to call him?" Sir Copperfield gathered his mind and adjusted his emotions.
Now he doesn't think about whether he will run a second trip.
Because this brand new container alone is worth his second trip.
What's more, this is only the first of fifteen sample exhibition boats, even if the other party uses a preemptive method, the next goods may not be so visually impactful, but as long as it is not too bad, it can be used as a green leaf to accompany the red flower in front of you.
"Alan, Alan, Sir can just call me Alan. The young shopping guide Alan grinned and smiled.
"Listening to Mr. Allen's accent, it must be Byron. Copperfield casually probed to the bottom.
"Born in Manyu, but with a quarter of Andesian blood, mainly running the Jacob River, the Twin Cities to the royal capital Valesta line, when I received the order, I was in the Twin Cities to buy, the lord may see that I am more experienced in this area, temporarily seconded. Alan smiled heartily.
Don't look at his age, it's also an old fritter who came up from the bottom a little bit, it seems to have revealed a lot of news, but in fact, it has its own meaning, and clearly expresses to the other party that he is a professional in this regard.
"Your Excellency is really thoughtful. "Sir Copperfit's heart is in his heart again, since he came into contact with the Eternal Night Commander, he has been led by the nose everywhere, and he did not seem to have escaped in front of the young lord before, and now he is not in front of him.
"One more piece of personal advice to Sir, don't be in a hurry to choose the goods now, it's not too late to choose after the fifteen exhibition ships have been seen, anyway, we don't limit what goods Lord Sir chooses. Alan suggested again.
"I just lost my temper, thank you Mr. Allen for your suggestion, and then, I will think about it carefully. Copperfield nodded approvingly.
"Then let's move on. β
"Go on. β
If the first merchant cargo brought a strong visual impact to Copperfield, the second merchant cargo was extremely simple.
But Sir Copperfield was taken aback, and stammered, "Is this paper?"
"That's right, it's the paper you use to keep records. Alan smiled and nodded, not undenied by Sir Copperfield's gaffe.
Because this is not the first time he has seen this kind of demeanor, and I believe it will not be the last time he will see it.
Sir Copperfield pounced on him like a hungry wolf, and his mouth was full of words.
"It's really paper for writing, but why is it so thin? What kind of material is it made of? Sheepskin? No, even lambskin can't be so thin, not to mention that there are so many of them, is it the legendary straw paper? No, I can't see the weaving veins at all, it's a whole at all, and the degree of sturdiness is not the right number. β
