The atmosphere in the hall was silent for a moment, and the nobles stared at their glasses without saying a word, they were not spokesmen. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"We are all merchants, Your Excellency. Bharat broke the silence. "The most successful businessman. ”

"Of course. Benny smiled and nodded. "Otherwise I wouldn't be here, Marquis of Barrat. ”

"What do you want?" asked Balart.

Benny smiled, he took a thick stack of paper from his space bag and placed it on the table, he nodded at the attendant, who stepped forward to pick up the parchment and distribute it to all the nobles.

"This is what I brought. Benny leaned back in his chair and said in a good moment. "Quel'Thalas's magical artifacts, all kinds of gems, and the machine you see. ”

"I take the liberty of asking. Balart put down the paper in his hand. "Is this machine really what you say?" "He has puppet harvesters on his estate, but they're not as 'capable' as the weird machines on these drawings.

"Honesty is a merchant's greatest weapon, Marquis of Barrat. Benny smiled. "I have a sample, you can try it on your own estate. ”

"It's rude. Balart nodded apologetically, continuing to look at the parchment in his hand.

Benny asked the squire to bring him a glass of water, and waited quietly for Balart to make a decision.

"Very tempting idea. Bharart put down the drawings. "But what do you want?"

"I want port tax exemption. Benny put down his glass. "All merchandise!"

"This is not a decision I can make, Lord Lord. Balart narrowed his eyes and turned his eyes away from the bright mark. "The king will not allow it. ”

"I'm sure the 'most successful businessman' will have a way, won't I?" said Benny, who had already paid Varian's taxes!

Balart frowned, his old face huddled together, and the nobles around him all looked at him with anticipation on their faces.

"I would like to know the size of the transaction, Your Excellency, High Lord. ”

"It depends on how big your appetite is. Benny held out a hand and shook it.

"IMHO, the nobles here control more than 60% of Stormwind's trade, are you sure there are so many goods?"

"Stormwind can't afford to eat so many goods, Marquis Balat. Benny kept smiling. "I've got a list of your annual trading volumes here. Benny juggled a scroll out and handed it to the attendant, who stooped down and took it, not to Balrat, but to Barna. "Stormwind City has entered a 'downturn' since four years ago, and the volume of all commodities is declining year by year, and the magnitude is very large, you can only rely on some ----- small means to raise prices, so that you can maintain your own operation. ”

"Count Presto doesn't seem to have brought you what you deserve, does he?" Benny's smile changed a little strangely.

Balat glanced at his eldest son, who had been in charge of the family's transactions all these years, and he only grasped the overall situation in the rear, and only he knew the specific situation in the transaction.

Barna raised his head with an ugly face and nodded to his father, this list is simply more detailed than his own! The various losses and profits are clearly written, and they can be seen at a glance!

"Stormwind still hides a great deal of wealth, Lord Lord, and we are only experiencing temporary difficulties. Balart leaned back slightly, hiding his expression in the candlelight.

"If you still want to deceive yourself like this, I will not be here today. Benny shrugged indifferently.

"Do you have a solution?" asked Balart.

"Of course. Benny spread his hands. "But do you want to listen?"

"We can exempt your personal caravan from all taxes. "Balat understands that there is information that needs to be 'bought'.

"My fleet is not small, Marquis Barrat. Benny laughed.

"This is our sincerity. Baladt bowed.

"I accepted it. Benny nodded. "The solution to the dilemma is simple, expand the scope of trading. ”

"There are our caravans in all parts of this kingdom. There was some pride on Balart's face.

"Not on the other side of the sea. Benny said.

"On the other side of the sea?" the nobles looked at each other, their eyes lit up.

"Can you be specific?" Barratt leaned forward, revealing his old face.

"Lady Gianna has built a new kingdom on the other side of the sea, as we all know. Benny said. "What you don't know is that the land is very barren, very barren, and it's hard to find even a few pieces of land that can be cultivated!"

"Thank you for the info. "An untouched virgin land, indeed the best place for businessmen, seems to be a little behind in their information.

"I'm not done yet. Benny smiled and continued. "I'm old friends with Ms. Gianna, we've played side by side, so ---- I get some good incentives there, and I hope we can work together. ”

"How to cooperate?"

"I send the goods, you go out to the ship and the people, sell the goods to the other side of the sea, and the proceeds are ----- you 3, I 7!"

Barthes rolled his brown eyes, his mind pounding.

"We can complete the transaction on our own, Your Excellency, Great Lord. ”

"Then I'll have to find someone else to work with. Benny spread his hands.

"3 percent income is too little, Your Excellency, I need to feed a lot of people. Bharart gestured helplessly.

"I can get the fleet tax-free. ”

"Does it include land transactions?" This is the bulk of the tax, and the port tax is a drop in the bucket for the merchants!

"The land transaction tax has been cut in half. Benny looked at Balat like a fool, and he also asked about exports, completely duty-free trade is not good for Theramore, people are crazy to do this!" "You should understand that the grain trade in Stormwind City was no longer able to meet the export three years ago, and you can't even meet the volume of trade within the kingdom! Without the big granary of the Western Wilderness, even if mechanized, Stormwind would be self-sufficient in food at best, because there wasn't that much land to cultivate! That's why Benny didn't care about selling farm machinery to them, what he wanted wasn't a Stormwind trade volume at all!

"You just need to send out the fleet, and I'll do the rest!" That's what Benny wants! He doesn't want to buy merchant ships, and he doesn't want to build them himself, because sooner or later they will be obsolete, all he has to do is hire a huge fleet with 30% of the proceeds to help him complete the trade!
