Chapter 183: Cooperation

The fourth prince's full name is Parley?? Charman, who was not outstanding among Wren's sons, was very low-key and weak in presence compared to a high-profile prince like the eldest prince who expanded his power in the city guards and local garrisons.

Richard didn't notice anything special about the fourth prince at first, and even thought it was an annoying spirit.

But from that box of gems, Richard had a new understanding of the fourth prince,

Gift-giving pays attention to a person who likes it and sends some miscellaneous things, on the first layer, those who send Kinnar directly are counted in the second layer, and those who know that Richard has been studying ancient books recently and send some ancient books are on the third layer, and those who directly send the gems that Richard needs like Prince Parley are at least the fifth layer.

This shows that the fourth prince at least has a lot of intelligence channels, so he can find out that Richard's subordinates are looking for and collecting this thing.

There must also be a force that is not weak, can immediately collect these gems and send them to the royal capital, according to the urine nature of the system, the crystal has to be a magic crystal to be recognized, and this gem cannot be just an ordinary gem,

It certainly won't be a big deal, at least Richard could feel a cold flow of energy when he touched these gems, a feeling that ordinary gems didn't have.

"Your Highness Parley, Marquis Hunt invites you to have afternoon tea with you in the afternoon."

"Well, you ask someone from the Hunter family to go back and tell my brother-in-law, I will be there on time."

"Yes"

Parley carefully straightened his collar in front of the bronze mirror, looking very calm,

But suddenly, the corners of his mouth hooked up a cynical smile, breaking the calm temperament he had just created.

"Hey, you guessed it."

Richard and Pareio were in a high-end restaurant in the royal capital, which adopted a reservation system, and only people with a certain status were eligible to enter the restaurant to consume, so as to avoid the situation of overcrowding, and this marketing method was also regarded as one of the common methods of improving the quality in later generations.

The price of things in this kind of place is naturally ridiculously high, what sand lizard meat in the west, giant sea mussels in the south, you can taste something fresh in this restaurant,

In Richard's view, the only fly in the ointment of this restaurant is that although the ingredients are rich and fresh, the method is too simple, either roasted or steamed, and these expensive spices and high-quality raw materials are suspected of being wasted.

"Alas, brother-in-law, you are so polite, you just invited me to dinner yesterday, and today you have a treat, I said that one day I really have to invite you to Liuying Street, otherwise I will not be happy to let you have a treat."

Richard and Parley were sitting opposite each other in a private seat in the dining room, with a large pile of dishes on the table, and Parley was eating on his stomach, without the slightest royal reserve.

"No, no, it's just a meal."

Looking at Parley's starving ghost reincarnated like a reincarnation, Richard couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth slightly, this thing's thick-skinned degree is really beyond Richard's imagination,

Originally, Richard just asked him to have afternoon tea, but he didn't expect this product to have lunch and came to the appointment on an empty stomach, and he made the afternoon tea bureau a dinner.

That is, Richard's financial resources are not ordinarily strong, and he has recently made a small fortune.

The price of this restaurant, according to Pare's way of eating, not to mention ordinary civilians, even ordinary small nobles can't bear it.

"I invite His Highness Palay to come out this time, mainly because I want to ask His Highness Palay about something."

Seeing that Parley had almost eaten, Richard finally spoke up his purpose.

"Alas, my brother-in-law called His Highness too outward, didn't I say that you should call the fourth brother?"

"Well, Fourth Brother."

Although Richard's status and identity have risen recently, he has not lost his ability to fight snakes and sticks.

"You're asking about the Cold Spring Gem, right?"

"Yes, I need a lot of cold spring gems here, I have been looking for a long time and there are no clues, this time I happened to meet the fourth brother to send it, can the fourth brother tell me where to get this cold spring gem?"

"This cold spring gem is a specialty of the southern islands, and these places where cold spring gems are produced are mainly distributed on Naga's territory, that is, the fourth brother and I have a little way, and I can exchange some cold spring gems with Naga."

Everyone in the Golden Dragon Kingdom knows that the relationship between humans and the Naga clan is not good, and the exploration of humans into the ocean is actually invading Naga's territory.

Although the two sides did not break out into a full-scale war like the beasts because of their different living environments, conflicts were very frequent, normal trade was very little, and there was not much communication between the two sides, mainly relying on knives to speak.

The meaning of Parley's words is actually obvious, where is the thing, how did it come from, I tell you, but you must know that this way is not wide, even my unique way, if you need it, you can't get around me.

"Then can you ask the fourth brother to help me get some more Cold Spring Gems?"

Richard didn't think about finding the source of the gem by himself, at least at this stage, his hands can't reach the southernmost part of the kingdom, and it is difficult to find a way in a short time, and it is the best result to be able to buy directly from Parley, I am afraid that Parley will sit on the ground and raise the price, and make some inconsistency requests will make it difficult for him.

"Since my brother-in-law needs it, then I will do my best to help, but I don't know how many Cold Spring Gems my brother-in-law needs."

"At least fifty pieces a month, how much is the fourth brother to say a price."

If you do business like Richard, you have obvious rigid needs, and you still let the other party set the price, then you will probably have to lose everything.

But Richard and Parley are obviously not serious businessmen, and some things are actually well known.

Since Parley can find out that Richard needs the Cold Spring Gem, Richard will fall behind when he goes to hide his needs, so it is better to ask the price generously.

Richard is confident that Pare's purpose is not to blackmail himself with the Cold Spring Gem, if his purpose is to make money, he will not come out to contact him personally, and directly let the agent's chamber of commerce come forward, completely follow the business suit, and just knock himself out.

Hearing Richard's quantity demand, Parley, who was still full of confidence just now, frowned at this time, and seemed to make up his mind after thinking for a long time,

"Fifty pills a month is fifty, and I must guarantee that they will be delivered to my brother-in-law every month."

"Then thank you Fourth Brother, I don't know what Fourth Brother needs?"

As soon as Richard's words came out, the atmosphere at the dinner table became delicate,

Parley's expression was also rarely serious, and Parley, who was serious, really had Wren's seven-point shadow in it.

Everyone knows that this is a drama meat, and there is a natural need to pay, Parley is neither a saint, nor is he Richard's long-lost biological father, and he pays the price of fifty cold spring gems a month, so he naturally does not do good deeds.

"I heard that my brother-in-law has a business called soap, which has just been rolled out in the royal capital recently, and I won't fight with my brother-in-law on the royal capital.

"Okay."

"So nice to work with."

"It's a pleasure to work with."

Richard agreed very decisively, and the conditions given by Parley were not bad, and they could even be said to be very good.

Richard in the soap business couldn't eat it all, and it was a matter of time before he found an agent in a different place.

Don't look at Parley taking fifty percent of the proceeds, but it is promoted through Paley's long-established business network in the south, and it is completely sold through Paley's channels.

Soap costs almost nothing, which is a huge profit for Richard.

And the most beautiful thing Parley did was actually here, he knew very well that although he had the source of the gems that Richard urgently needed, it was impossible to make Richard show his support for him on this condition.

Instead of embarrassing everyone like this, it is better to take the path of cooperation,

Sometimes, long-term interests are the closest way to combine alliances, as long as they can form long-term business cooperation with Richard, even if Richard is not willing to stand in line easily, he will not have to support him for the sake of money.

From the current point of view, this prince of Parley is the most hidden and clever son of Wren's sons.

Richard even suspected that this guy should have reached the knighthood rank a long time ago, but he never made it public.

"Thank you brother-in-law for your hospitality today, another day while the Messiah is away, I must invite you to Liuying Street to have a good time."

After talking, Parley reverted to his unorthodox appearance.

Richard also gradually got used to Parley's appearance, and after settling the bill, he beckoned Zebul at the door to leave with him.

"Brother-in-law, what do you think this restaurant tastes like?"

I don't know why, just as a few people were leaving, Parley asked a somewhat inexplicable question,

"Not bad."

Richard still thought about it for a while, in good conscience, this store is actually not bad, except for the monotonous approach, it is very secure in other aspects, and it is worthy of being a high-end restaurant in the royal capital.

"Yes, it's just not bad, if I hadn't eaten the food in your restaurant yesterday, I'd be quite satisfied with my restaurant.

But now, it's a little bit worse, I don't know if my brother-in-law can send someone to teach, it's a big deal, and we'll split the income by fifty or five percent? ”

Yes, yes, compared to the deal reached by the two, the income of several hotels is actually only a fraction.

And with the source of customers in this store, Richard must have made money, but this guy actually took Richard to his own restaurant and ordered a lot of good dishes for Richard to treat?

The thick-skinned Richard actually wanted to laugh...

In the end, I couldn't help but spit out two words:

"Slut..."
