Chapter 409: The Talent of Chief Tsavo
"Let me tell you something, if you help me do it, I will do my best in this auction, and I don't want your commission!"
"As long as you leave now, I will agree to any conditions!"
"Next time I come to Dark Dawn, you can bring me a leatherman who can teach my disciples!"
The most common life occupation of the Seven Swords Mercenary Group is a cobbler! But who is qualified to take apprentices? Boss Su couldn't think of it: "Our studio has more than a dozen leathersmith players with level qualifications, do you believe it?" I'll bring you the highest professional level, as for whether he can teach his disciples, I really don't know now! β
It is difficult for players to obtain apprenticeship qualifications, and Chief Tsavo also knows: "Then you go back and check, it is best to be able to teach apprentices." If you don't have the qualifications to teach apprentices, bring the highest professional level here! β
This auction is a major event that will affect the development of the Seven Swords, and Baron Twilight does not dare to slack off, so he honestly stays at the Tsavo River Hunter's House and turns on the 'watch TV' mode to observe what Chief Tsavo does in Luo City.
The chief felt tired. Nima, a backpack can carry up to five accessory backpacks, minus the position occupied by the accessory backpack itself, minus the location of the security bag and pet bag, and ninety-three item compartments, which are basically full. I usually don't lose my stamina when I walk, but now I have to stop and rest for a while after walking a dozen steps! Tired of being a dog, there is no one to help. When you sit and rest without being tired, your brain will spin faster than usual. While resting, the chief began to shout: "Fine materials from the distant Twilight Continent, essential items for home travel, murder and arson, and necessary materials for hunting in the mountains will soon be auctioned at the Luo Cheng Chamber of Commerce." Don't miss it when you walk by! Then send a picture: Five Spirit Fat Bandages. Shout again, send a picture: Golden Peeling Knife. After shouting three times, it was finally grandly launched: Black Mamba Snake Antidote!
The chief shouted all the way until the baron reminded him: "Be generous, shout to me three times in the form of an intercity curtain advertisement!" β
The chief shuddered when he heard this: "Three times? That's 1,500 gold coins! Even if it is to spend your gold coins, I will feel heartache! β
"Pull screen ads, not for players, but for NPCs. How many players do you think will be able to afford my Black Mamba Antidote? β
"Since it's for NPCs, let's send it again! It only takes one time, 100% coverage! NPCs won't go offline and miss important information! β
The curtain ad is only sent once, and the effect is obvious enough.
When he came to the Luocheng Chamber of Commerce, Chief Tsavo was taken directly into the VIP reception room by a steward, and several bigwigs in the Chamber of Commerce were already waiting for him.
Titanic: Administrator of the weapons trade of the Los Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce.
Dart Poison Mudak: Potion Trading Administrator of the Los City Chamber of Commerce.
Pique: Leather trading administrator at the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce.
Sitting in the center is Hai Luo, the president of the Luocheng Chamber of Commerce.
"What are you doing here? I didn't even bring a single skin this time! "Chief Tsavo knew Pique best, so he greeted him first.
Peake glared: "I also need an antidote to black mamba snake venom, okay?" You kid, this time the president has been alarmed. Tell the president about it. β
Hai Luo put down the wine glass in his hand: "Sit down and say." I see you've come all the way, and you're carrying too many supplies, so you're tired, aren't you? β
These NPCs are known to Chief Tsavo. At the moment, he was not polite, and sat directly on the chair below: "I will still have you sympathy for us hard-working people." I'm really tired of this shipment half to death! β
Hai Luo squinted his eyes and quipped him: "You have royal blood, and you have already received too many additional benefits than ordinary people." I don't know what the people in the market will think when they hear it. This batch of medicines, mainly this batch of black mamba snake venom antidotes, was circulated from Mengcheng, right? β
The chief knew why the baron would pass through the city of Mongs and not sell the potion. There's no reason why Hyro shouldn't. Chief Tsavo smiled: "Isn't it because those turtles in Mengcheng look down on outsiders, which makes people unhappy and unwilling to do business over there?" To say that this Twilight Baron is really a man of temperament. I think that with the goods he brought with him and his status as a baron, it is worth making a good acquaintance. β
Harrow nodded: "You're right. Also, this baron once said four words in the Mengcheng Chamber of Commerce, 'harmony makes money', which is short and long. Who doesn't hope for a stable market and smooth trade routes? Communicate with each other and be honest with each other, so as to create more opportunities for wealth. β
This kind of sets the tone for this transaction.
Chief Tsavo knew this, but he still wanted to test it further, so he threw out the baron's current predicament: "Your Excellency, this baron, has accumulated such a large amount of goods, and his own capital turnover is a little stretched. From my observation, he couldn't afford to delay, so he repeatedly urged me to complete the deal as soon as possible; At the same time, he lacked gold coins in his hand, so he had to use the auction method to return as many gold coins as possible. You are all business veterans, what do you think about this matter? This is tantamount to making it clear that everyone present has the conditions to lower the price, and if it drags on for a day or two, the baron will definitely not be able to fight back.
Seeing that several people began to ponder, Pique was the first to jump out: "In this case, we will use the reason that the auction needs to be prepared for a few days, and let the baron take the initiative to put the price to the lowest!" He even asked him to hand over the goods to us to deal with, and when we finished selling, we could send him away by giving him gold coins! β
Titani and Dart Poison Wood Darker glanced at him in unison, and then turned to look at Captain Hairo.
Hyro slammed the wine glass in his hand on the table: "Nonsense! Haven't you observed? All the products they bring are patented! In doing so, even if you can make a lot of money today, what about in the future? Will it be that when we need to procure these supplies in the future, we will find that we have to run to Lava City or even other countries? You should also think about what this baron did in Montaville, he will not accept any provocation! β
Titanic said, "Pique, do you want to dig a pit for me and Dart Poison Wood because there is no leather in his cargo?" β
What Pique is going to do, no one knows, and no one wants to pursue it. Chief Tsavo enlightened him: "You cobbler's brain is spinning again? Don't you want to think about what it means that he doesn't have leather goods in his hands? Is it possible to sell him your skins? I look at the few of you here, you need to meet this baron the most and talk about it in detail! β
Peake looked at Chief Tsavo dumbfounded: "Why didn't I think of this? When this business is over, I will definitely go with you to see this baron!" If it's really as you say, the day I Pick up and show my face is today! β
It was only at this time that Hai Luo expressed his satisfaction with his subordinates, and he bowed slightly: "The trading of tens of thousands of gold coins was originally not worthy of my personal presiding. Then why have I summoned you? I'm afraid you're messing up this. The Chamber of Commerce secretly said that in times of peace, the Silk Road would bring a hundredfold profit to every merchant involved. But you don't know, there is also a maritime Silk Road! So far, this road has only been opened up, and no one has opened it up into a trade route. With that done, we at Kenny will be one of the most prosperous realms of the Dark Dawn. I hope you will do your best to cooperate with Chief Tsavo and leave a satisfactory answer for this Twilight Baron! Do you understand? β
Seeing that his subordinates all nodded solemnly in agreement, Harrow added: "I don't care how you help the Tsavo kid run this auction, I hope you can give this kid as many tips as possible in the procedures, taxes, and other things that need attention." The little guy is very business-minded, and such a talent is worth helping him develop! β
Titanic looked at Pique, and felt that both sides saw President Hero's intentions: this cunning merchant leader seemed to have the idea of taking in an apprentice! This business must be done for Chief Tsavo! Titanic was the first to speak: "Since there are not many types of goods, I recommend using Auction Hall 2!" "The No. 1 auction hall is only qualified to be used by the real power figures above the duke, and no one on the scene thinks about it.
Dart Poison Mudak: "My people are going to send out the invitation." Those noble lords generally do not attend such commercial events without invitations! β
Peake looked at the two: "I'll prepare a batch of high-end leather goods, and promise not to let the baron leave Luocheng with only gold coins!" β
Hai Luo raised his glass and drank it all: "I wish you all the best!" β
This was his 'send-off' gesture, and Chief Tsavo and several of the caretakers stood up at the same time to escort him into the back hall.
The rest of the people began to go their separate ways. Titanic and Pique approached Chief Tsavo, and both of them said the same thing: "You just stay in the auction hall and wait for the attendees." All actions on our side, you will be informed in advance. Well, it's not that you don't have to prepare anything, since you are an auctioneer, you can choose an auctioneer, and you can also prepare an auction speech, so that everyone can increase their understanding of these products in a few sentences and increase the attractiveness of the goods. β
"I'm going to be my own auctioneer. Time is pressing, and I'm worried that the auctioneer I'm hiring now will make a mistake because of the unfamiliarity. I can avoid surprises in this regard. β
Is it more than just avoiding accidents? Being an auctioneer is equivalent to grasping the key to the entire auction, and no matter how others move, they can't escape your vision!
"Do you know about auctions?" Seeing this, Baron Twilight himself was not very relieved.
"An-la! I think back then, I had a shop at the big and small cross stations and practiced a stall by the Pearl River Bridge. In a city like Guangzhou, you can start a business and earn enviable living expenses, and it is not a piece of cake to get the Luocheng auction? That, Boss Su, are you writing an auction for me? β
"Aren't you very business-minded? Do you need someone else to catch a knife for auction words? β
"What do you mean by catching a knife?" There are also things that China Tong does not understand.
"It's ghostwriting."
"Then you can substitute for me. You see, I really don't have time right nowβI need to get acquainted with all the characters who came in, so that I don't have to admit my mistakes! Another ...... came in."
"Okay, okay, it's written and I'll wait for you to notify you and upload it to you!" Rowe is Kenny's royal city, where the status of the tribal chieftain is not high. From the perspective of the royal city, the highest position is the governor who is in charge of the whole of Kenny. Under the governor is the head of the garrison corps of Luo City and the lord of Luo City, and further down are the three major forces of the Sacrifice Alliance, the Chamber of Commerce and the Mercenary Guild, and the Sacrifice Alliance of the Dark Dawn is equivalent to the Magician Guild in other regions. As for the other professional unions, their status was only slightly higher than that of the chiefs of the tribes. Take Chief Tsavo as an example, and it sounds like a famous leader, but in fact, his nominal sphere of influence is smaller than that of Poplar Town. Their strength matches the strength of the tribe he represents. But the chief's position is recognized by the system, which gives him more room to operate: when other people's ranks can only enter and exit the town-level map, he can enter the city; When others can enter the city, he can enter the main city! Although it is only once a month, it can also get more and more advanced development opportunities than other mercenary groups that have nothing to do with it. The benefits do not stop there, the chiefs are also naturally recognized by local forces at all levels, and they can be discounted in trading, buying and selling. Now, when it's time to repay the debt, every indigenous NPC that comes in is a relative or elder of Chief Tsavo, with cordial and friendly greetings and lowly greetings, keeping Chief Tsavo busy.
Boss Su watched it for a while, but he had to give up the idea of 'supervising' the chieftain, and began to scratch his head and write the opening message of the auction. Sinking down and recalling the first charity auction he held in Bluestone City for a while, Boss Su's heart gradually bottomed out.
The status of a chieftain depends on the size of his tribe. Usually similar to the mayor of Twilight. The face of the Tsavo chieftain mainly comes from the 'kinship' relationship between the chiefs. As for the more advanced professional trade unions, even the mercenary trade unions and sacrificial alliances, they sent one person to welcome the face of the chamber of commerce. At the level of the City Lord's Palace, the garrison, and some of the marquis' and earl's mansions, it was only the butlers and the like who cameβso most of them were people that the Tsavo chieftain could not afford to offend. Being arranged to receive these people also reflects in some ways the importance that the president of the Chamber of Commerce, Hairo, attaches to Chief Tsavo. Thinking of this, the chief worked quite hard. After these 'uncles' were arranged, Chief Tsavo returned to the auction table, and only then did he see that only half of the entire auction hall had been seated. Not lively enough, this is something that auctions for all levels are afraid of. The people sitting in the audience were also a little unhappy and began to talk about each other.
Chief Tsavo tapped the table with the back of his fingers: "Everyone, don't be impatient! There weren't too many people here today. This is deliberately arranged below. All adventurers were turned away. However, they can use the magic circle on the ticket to participate in auctions and purchases by purchasing tickets. Indeed, because a certain product is large in quantity but not of high value, it is more convenient to sell in this way. β
"Boy, do you mean that there are a lot of people who are buying tickets to watch a play and looking at us now?"
"Yes!" Chief Tsavo was blunt: "But tickets are very expensive!" At this moment, the people who can see the entire auction hall through the space installation have spent a gold coin! β
There was a buzz from the audience. Live broadcasts, tickets are usually only one or two silver coins! For example, the ring match between Dom and Baron Twilight can only charge 30 silver coins, so why do you charge one gold coin for an auction? It's strange that it can be sold!
Chief Tsavo put his hands flat and pressed: "Please be quiet. I can tell you that nine hundred tickets have been sold so far! When I get 1,000 tickets sold, I'll lower the ticket price to 10 credits! β
"What the hell are you doing? In doing so, those who spend a gold coin to buy tickets will tear down the Chamber of Commerce's auction hall! β
"Buyers of these 1,000 tickets will get one item for sale this time: the Five Spirit Fat Bandage. Please take a look at the product book! β
Wuling Fat Bandage: A patented product of the Twilight Continent Frost City Bluestone City Sanqi Pharmaceutical Factory. In addition to the hemostatic effect of ordinary bandages, it can also remove the damage caused by low-level poisons and relieve the damage caused by medium-level poisons in small amounts.
"You're using us people." A steward of the City Lord's Mansion let out a clear sound of resistance.
"I don't think you will. Those who spend a gold coin on tickets won't mind either. Because Baron Twilight's request is to donate all the 1,000 gold coins to the charity in Luo City! Now, ticket sales have exceeded a thousand. Ladies and gentlemen, we are now going to open the auction of the Baron's main merchandise. If you are not satisfied with the ticket sales, you can leave! β
Can I leave? Let the organization he represents or the lords and nobles behind him bear the reputation of 'ignoring charity', no one dares!
It was the housekeeper with a nice voice who said: "Prepare a donation box for me, and when I leave, I will also buy a ticket!" Do you donate this ticket money? β
Without waiting for the baron's instructions, the chief spoke: "I can call the shots, and we will donate this money as well." I'm sure the Baron would have made the same decision! β
The audience immediately laughed: "Everyone buys it!" Don't grind, we'd like to see what else this Twilight Baron and you have in mind! β
"Although the Five Spirit Fat Bandages are not expensive, and the Baron has also brought more than ten thousand copies, I still have to remind everyone that through the ticket channel, we have already sold six thousand copies! If you are interested in this item, please buy it now, don't wait until the sale is out! β
The price of a gold coin is quite expensive for players, but for the NPCs in the royal city, it is just a sprinkler, I heard that more than half of it has been sold, and the audience was suddenly anxious, everyone hurry up, you twenty and fifty subscriptions, and the sale of all the five spirit fat bandages can be done in less than a minute.
Chief Tsavo sighed heavily, "You're in too much of a hurry...... I haven't bought it myself! Who will give me two? β
The audience laughed: "You just wait for your baron friend to bring it to you next time!" β
"That's all there is to it. The second lot is divided into two types: the patented product peeling knife produced by the Orange Iron Factory in Bluestone City, Twilight Continent. One is of gold quality, a total of 100 handfuls. One is blue quality, and it is also a hundred. Gold quality sells for 100 gold coins. The blue one sells for eighty gold coins. In particular, five of the gold-quality peeling knives are double-orange, i.e. forged by the inventor himself. I won't talk about the high collectible value of these five knives. The knife does not increase the price, and is sold in the middle of these hundred golden knives. The numbers have been lined up and placed in Mr. Titanic's hands. After the sale, it will be distributed by Titanic-sama, so please trust his fairness. β
This time, some people still questioned: "The gold-quality peeling knife is mixed with five collectible patentes, and I can accept the price." Why is the blue one sold for such a high price as eighty? β
"Hehe, please take a closer look at the difference between blue and gold. As far as I know, in Twilight Continent, cyan quality peeling knives are selling better than golden ones! So the price between the two has not been much different. β
Peeling knife for oranges: Golden. Utility knife, which can be used as a weapon.
Damage: Strength plus ten. Attack range one, attack speed nine. Endurance forty.
Additional attribute 1: Enlarged wounds. Attacking an existing wound can enlarge the wound and deal the same damage as the original wound.
Additional attribute 2: The level of the skinning skill is increased by one.
Additional attribute 3: When peeling off a damaged hide, the breakage rate will not be increased.
Peeling knife of the orange: Blue. Utility knife, which can be used as a weapon.
Damage: Strength plus ten. Attack range one, attack speed seven. Endurance forty.
Additional attribute 1: Enlarged wounds. Attacking an existing wound can enlarge the wound and deal the same damage as the original wound.
Additional attribute 2: When peeling off a damaged hide, the breakage rate will not be increased.
"For most people, they don't have the opportunity to peel the fur of high-level beasts and monsters, so the most widely used special effect of this knife is actually 'it will not increase the breakage rate'!" After Chief Tsavo finished explaining, the little butler of the City Lord's Mansion, who had repeatedly asked questions, sat down and seemed to begin to discuss the truth of these words with the people around him. By the time he got an affirmative answer, the Golden Peeling Knife was sold out! As soon as the little butler's delicate little face collapsed, two tears flowed down - with my identity, if I had a blue knife, how would I see people? The companion next to him hurriedly began to persuade, and lamented in his heart: "How did I bring this little ancestor to a place like the auction?!" β
Before the auction began, Chief Tsavo was busy again: "Before the auction of the last batch of Black Mamba snake venom potions, Baron Twilight and I signed a gambling agreement: in this auction, as long as the total price exceeds 80,000 gold coins, Baron Twilight will donate all the extra gold coins to the Montenegro Disaster Relief Committee, and the only condition is that the accounts will be made public when the disaster relief committee uses these gold coins. And my agreement project is: if the proceeds of this auction do not reach 80,000 gold coins, I will only keep the commission of one gold coin as a souvenir! So, for the sake of my commission, I implore you not to be stingy with your possessions, if you don't spend enough gold, it will be taken away by Baron Twilight! Only if you spend more, the money will go to the Montago disaster relief project and stay local! β
"Can you tell me how much gold you've collected so far?"
"Twenty-eight thousand gold coins! Oh, and I've already donated a thousand gold coins. Now it's only twenty-seven. Below is two hundred and five copies of black mamba snake venom. Ten sticks are auctioned at a time. The last five will be given to the top five buyers! Starting price: 3,000 gold coins! β
The little butler pouted: "This baron is too stingy!" If they were all bought at the reserve price, he would only donate a few thousand gold coins after they were sold out! β
Everyone laughed again, and a fat man turned to the little butler and said, "Little ......, what you said is a bit biased, these extra gold coins are donated by us!" It's not the cunning baron who is donating! β
