Chapter 11: The Deal with the Jews

Different from Wangcai's contempt, I hurriedly made a corporal of Lixian and helped the medieval sharp brother up: "I waited for you to wait until the flowers were gone, but I finally looked forward to you, and I ......was wronged."

Brother Sharp was confused by me, I was definitely the first lord to be so polite to him, maybe I didn't understand the meaning of the wronged, but with my abnormal attitude, he even made him think that there must be a big deal to do here, so he pointed to his carriage and said:

"My lord, I sell the best goods in the whole Christian world, and I guarantee fair prices, whether it is Persian silk or Arabic spices, whether it is amber from Northern Europe or ambergris from the Mediterranean, whether it is Saharan ivory or Eastern Roman gold and silverware......"

"Do you have all of these?" I was a little surprised by the cargo capacity of his battered carriage and the commercial prowess he described, all of which were luxuries, the equivalent of medieval Dior and LV.

"I just said that if you need it, I'll find a way to get it for you." Isaac smiled and lied to himself.

It seems that the oil cavity is the magic weapon of every salesperson, both ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign!

I didn't care about the cowhide flying in the sky, because from the moment I saw him, a bold plan came to my mind, Isaac's big round face seemed to me to be the cute little face of the beckoning cat.

"My friend who has worked hard all the way, I will ask the butler to prepare a delicious meal for you, and when you have your fill, we will discuss business matters."

I stretched out my hand and made a gesture of invitation, and whispered a few words to Wangcai, and though he was reluctant, he did as I was told, and Isaac was flattered to follow me into the hall of the castle.

After patiently looking at the old Jewish dealer and licking the last drop of oil in my mouth, I began the conversation with a smile on my face: "Where do you usually do business?" ”

"I've been to a lot of places, my lord, I've left my footprints all over Germany, even the holy city of Rome and the territory of the Norsemen." Isaac said with his hands dancing, like a crab with teeth and claws.

"What do you usually run in?"

The cunning Isaac rolled his eyes thoughtfully, thinking that I was a big bad wolf who coveted his goods, and replied vaguely: "It's just some small groceries, worthless, you must not look down on them." ”

I changed my comfortable position, buried myself in the back of the chair, and continued to knock on the side: "It must be very hard to live without a fixed place all year round, do you have a family, and where is your hometown?" ”

The question resonated with the old liar: "No way, we Jews are destined to wander, I have been treated unjustly more than once, just because I am a Jew, and in a castle in France I was almost taken as the culprit for spreading the plague, they tied me to the stake, and the greedy lord demanded my ransom for 100 silver coins." ”

"When I was in Saxony, I was robbed of all my goods, and afterwards I asked the knights in the realm for help, and they suspected that I was guarding the thief and shouting to catch the thief, God Almighty and Wise, why should I be subjected to such suffering......"

Evoking memories of the past that cannot be looked back on, looking for the weaknesses of the other party with precision like a scalpel, and injecting one's own point of view is a necessary medicine to fool people.

I pretended to be sympathetic, sighed and accompanied him to remember the bittersweet feelings: "It's really hard for you, as a knight with a conscience, I apologize to you on behalf of those knights who didn't help you." ”

Isaac obviously didn't expect me to say such a thing, and he was slightly stunned for a moment, and a sense of danger arose.

"Lord Knight...... What exactly are you trying to say? ”

The fox's tail was grabbed, and it was all shown, and I said mysteriously: "Now I have a good way to make money here, but I lack an actual executor, if you can join the gang, how about we get fifty or five points of benefits?" ”

Thinking about the distribution before seeing the benefits, the shrewd Jewish merchant narrowed his eyes, fed up with the exploitation and shouting of the high nobles, a lord who despised the smell of copper the most, and wanted to join forces with him to do business, the shock to Isaac was no less than the earthquake that had just been experienced in his mind: "You want to be with me...... Partnership to share spoils? ”

"Why is it so ugly, this is called joining forces and win-win cooperation." I corrected him in all seriousness.

"How?" Profit-seeking is a trait of every merchant, and Isaac is no exception, and he is the guarantee of a noble knight.

"I contribute, you contribute, buy low and sell high, it's as simple as that."

I enlightened him step by step, explaining: "I grant you the sole right to operate all the goods in the quarry, and will not let other merchants set foot in my territory, you can also buy the goods in the fiefdom exclusively, I will give you a certificate signed by me, proving that you are a merchant appointed by me, and send two armed guards to protect you, trade under my banner, and look forward, with the official background and a reliable trading base, will your future business flourish?" ”

Isaac finally understood what kind of big-tailed wolf I was pretending, and he shouted hysterically, "You are a white wolf with empty gloves, a condemned speculative behavior, and God will not forgive you." ”

I stretched out my hand to signal him to calm down: "Relax Mr. Isaac, will God forgive me for his old man's problem, it's not you and I can control, but I know that if you don't cooperate with me, I won't forgive you now." ”

I bowed my chin, and Isaac looked at the castle gate suspiciously, where Hans beckoned to him with a torch.

Isaac was desperate, the aristocratic lord who had been played by him in the past was now a hooligan bare-chested, and he was simply a scoundrel to the extent that he did not sting, subverting all his previous good impressions of me:

"You are truly the most ungentlemanly knight I have ever met."

"Thank you for the compliment, as the basis of our cooperation, you have to pay a deposit of 100 silver coins first." I said modestly as I plucked my nostrils.

The old crook fainted......
