Chapter 289: Opportunities are to be seized by oneself
This wholesale market of the elves is very similar to the workshop area on the other side of the Forging Holy Land, both are long factory buildings, and then the front shop and the back factory, which looks like a trace of the ancestors.
Ru takes Rigoletto to a workshop that specializes in feather fans for women.
As soon as he walked in, Rigoletto knew he was halfway done.
His master, Louis Rebach, sent him to the Elven Tree Sea to purchase gifts because he was angry with the exquisite feather fan in the hands of the goddess Lena in his heart, and now any of the feather fans in this workshop are more exquisite than the one in Lena's hand, as long as he brings a few back, the purchase action here will pass the guarantee for him.
Rigoletto saw DiCaprio say something in Elven language to the middle-aged elf man who was looking at the store, and the middle-aged elf was first surprised, then surprised. After the middle-aged elves shouted a few times to the back, a group of elves rushed out in a hula, and then pulled DiCaprio to the back.
Rigoletto, who couldn't understand Elven language, was not annoyed that he was left out, but was very happy in his heart, and the more popular DiCaprio was, the smoother his next purchase would be.
This time, he brought most of the family's working capital to bring the goods, and if the purchase price can be negotiated, then he can make a lot of money this time.
Soon after, the middle-aged elf returned, and he patted Rigoletto on the shoulder very enthusiastically and said, "Since you are Leonardo's friend, then I will give you a friend's price, and you can see what you want first." ”
After the middle-aged elf finished speaking, he ran back to the back, and Rigoletto, who was once again left out in the cold, felt that he was about to be overwhelmed by the gold coins.
Charles is now in the back of the workshop where he brags to the elves, and of course, the protagonist of the brag is not himself, but his comrade-in-arms Dean.
Without him, the owners of this workshop are none other than the Deans.
The recruits of their 168th Brigade are basically from Greentown and the surrounding area, and there are several family members of their comrades-in-arms in this wholesale market.
In this war period when family letters are worth tens of thousands of dollars, the first-hand news brought by family members and comrades-in-arms is even more precious, especially those children who are soldiers report good news but not bad news in their letters.
This favor is enough for the family members of his comrades-in-arms to give someone a friendship price today, and as for someone's other identity, he himself deliberately ignored it.
During the conversation, Charles was not the only one who said, and the elves also asked someone to bring the family members to the front, and there were many family workshops.
When Charles said that he was going to the workshop of the next comrade-in-arms to nag, Dean's mother, who was reluctant to leave, immediately sent several of Dean's brothers to call the workshop owners whose children were on the front line.
Killing many birds with one stone, Charles not only brought words to his comrades-in-arms and families, but also completed market research by the way.
As a result, things went haywire, beyond Charles's expectations, who overestimated the speed of the spread of the news and underestimated the desire for news from the front.
First the families of several fighters from the 168th Brigade came over, then the family members of those who served in other teams also came after hearing the news, and then the friends of the fighters and the elves who loved to join in the fun, and a group of elves from Hula Lala got together in the workshop of Dean House.
Finally, Charles told the story of the front line at the request of everyone.
Rigoleto, who was outside selecting a feather fan, was startled when he saw many elves with anxious and surprised expressions entering the workshop, although he couldn't understand the elves, but it didn't prevent him from hearing the excitement, worry, and a little sadness in the voices coming from behind.
Rigoletto rolled his eyes, and then said to the two knights who were following him, "Go to the shop at the entrance of the market and buy as much wine and other things as you can." ”
As a court noble, it is their basic skill to understand and use the atmosphere.
A short time later, the two knights returned with two carts.
After following Rigoletto for a long time, the two of them also learned a little bit of fur, and in addition to what they drank, they also bought a lot of peanuts and melon seeds and other snacks.
Rigoletto gave them a thumbs up, "Go back, you're going to have to pay for the bonus." ”
When Rigoletto walked into the back of the workshop with a chest on his shoulder, Ru was telling the story of the siege of Wo Caoling.
Although everyone had heard that Elizabeth had seen through the enemy's plan and had planned it, the story told by those who witnessed it from the perspective of a warrior made them nervous and excited.
Ru was stunned for a moment when he saw Rigoletto come in, and then everyone looked at him.
Rigoletto was not bothered by this little scene, and he said to the elves with a trained smile and a warm tone like a spring breeze: "I'm sorry to disturb you, I'm a good friend of His Excellency Leonardo DiCaprio, and I'm bringing you something to drink and eat." ”
Many elves didn't realize which green onion "Leonardo DiCaprio" was, and then someone explained to everyone in Elven language: "He's my friend, but it's just that it's inconvenient for me to use my real name sometimes." ”
The elves were relieved, after all, His Royal Highness Charles was registered in the royal family, and using a pseudonym when walking outside could save a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Then Rigoletto, who was smiling all over his face, personally held the box and distributed drinks and snacks to everyone, the men gave wine, the women gave drinks, and those who looked at the minors were given snacks.
Ru gave a thumbs up to Rigoletto's actions, and he seized the opportunity to make a good impression on everyone in front of many workshop owners in the market, and invited them to eat and drink. In the future, even if he hadn't been introduced by someone, Rigoletto would definitely not have been slaughtered so badly when he went to talk to the bosses about business.
Ru underestimated everyone's enthusiasm, and when it was time for lunch, they still looked at Ru with a longing look on his face after telling the story for a long time.
At this point, Rigoletto once again showed his skills, and at some point he discussed with Dean's parents and set up a homely meal in the workshop restaurant.
There are many small restaurants on the side of the market that provide food for foreign merchants and workshops that have no time to cook overtime, and Rigoletto has already paid for the right amount of takeaways himself, and even brought a few tables and a lot of chairs so that everyone does not have to sit so crowded.
This light meal was a piece of cake for Rigoletto, who didn't know how many court banquets he had arranged, and a little bit of skill was enough for everyone to enjoy.
After a meal, many bosses have begun to pat Rigoletto on the shoulder and call him friends.
In the evening, when someone was still leaving, a group of elves startled the others as they saw him off at the market gate.
"I was really surprised by your performance. The man in the carriage looked at Rigoletto earnestly.
At the same time, Rigoletto was looking at someone, "Your Excellency surprised me even more. ”
The low-key and luxurious carriage can make the elf a coachman, and it has a lot of prestige among the elves, and now the elf's favorite story is the war on the front line, so many factors combined, if he couldn't guess the true identity of the little guy opposite, he would have been killed in the palace struggle, and he didn't even have the opportunity to be a butler for the foolish prince.
Charles thought for a moment, then asked, "I have a pure money-making plan, I wonder if Your Excellency is interested in cooperating?"
Rigoletto immediately replied: "The Count's money-making plan must be promising, and I will not miss it. ”
In Rigoletto's view, although Charles is the grandson of his master's political enemy, Duke Redkin, this grandson is not surnamed Redkin after all, and he has not shown any intention of interfering in the internal affairs of the Rybach Kingdom.
Since Charles said that it was a money-making plan, it means that Charles's plan has nothing to do with the political demands of his grandfather, Duke Redkin, nor does it have anything to do with the struggle for the throne of the Rybach Kingdom.
Since it's only about money, why did he Rigoletto give it up?
Besides, when the time comes, with this level of relationship with Charles, after seeing Duke Redkin, who still has a big chance of winning, win the throne, he still has a way to go.
On Charles's side, his biggest weakness now is that he doesn't have reliable henchmen to use.
Although the housekeeper Ah Fu has loyalty and ability, he has to keep a firm eye on the basic plate of the family at home.
Aunt Coriander can theoretically help herself, but that's only theoretical, in practice it's impossible, and she has other important work to do.
In this case, a court aristocrat like Rigoletto, who was still very disciplined when it came to money, became a decent option.
The most important thing is that this project is carried out on the territory of the elves.
In other words, even if his grave was green, Elizabeth and Victoria would still help him look at the property that belonged to the Maccaden family.
In this context, if Rigoletto wants to make trouble while Charles is still alive, he will inevitably be cleaned up by the elves.
Charles finally said: "This plan of mine still needs the approval of the Elf Queen, and I will inform you when there is news." Let's continue to complete your procurement tasks tomorrow. ”
