Chapter 390: Differential Treatment (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Subscription)
Eventually, under the combined persuasion of Diaedin and Tolkien, Solam finally relented. In fact, Soram just took the opportunity to get angry, he was more to vent the unhappiness in his heart, and after scolding this old dwarf, Soram was much better.
In essence, Solam is still a person who is willing to be reasonable, after all, the Black Claw Guild does have a grudge with the Iron Hammer Guild, and it is not a small feud, and that bastard of Tegula tore the nephew of someone else's elder to pieces, and no one can swallow this breath.
Although it was a little uncomfortable to be rejected, what could he do? It's not just a scolding, is it really a direct war with the Hammer Guild for this matter? Don't say that Soram can't beat the Hammer Guild, even if he does, Soram won't do it, or that sentence, it's not worth it for this.
"Humph! Forget it, it's boring, let's go. With that, Soram walked out of the office with Desio and Trism first.
After Soram was gone, Diaedin said to Tolkien as if relieved.
"I said dude, you have also seen the wind and waves, what to say and what not to say, don't you know? Who do you think Lord Soram is? Others are spellcasters, others don't care about your refusal to cooperate, you have already burned high incense, and you actually run over to teach others how to do things? ”
In fact, Diaedin could see that Solam was not really angry, although he had not been by Solam's side for a long time, he was still a little sure of looking at people, Soram was a typical kind of person who could do it and never make noise, if he was really angry just now, it is estimated that he would have done it a long time ago, why scold Tolkien?
It was because he grasped this meaning that Diaedin dared to persuade him, otherwise he would not have intervened.
"Alas, I didn't think that it would be a good thing if I could really cooperate with Lord Solam, so I said that, and I took it for granted at the time, don't say anything, brother, thank you for your help this time, otherwise, I don't think this Lord Soram will let this matter go so easily."
Tolkien naturally knew that Diaedin was talking like this, not really caring about him Tolkien, but wanting to remind himself that he had just helped and wanted benefits. They are all people in the business field, and they won't even be able to hear this hint, and he and Diaedin are not good enough to help for free.
"By the way, I forgot to tell you, didn't you order a batch of weapons from us last time? In order to thank you for taking care of you for so many years, the elders will give you a 20% discount on this batch of goods, and I will ask someone to send you the extra money later. ”
Diaedin, as the spokesperson of several bigwigs of the Modesac people, often helped those bigwigs order "Volcanic Thunder" weapons, so they got acquainted with Tolkien after coming and going.
Since it is procurement, there must be greasy, kickbacks are inevitable, otherwise you think, where did Diaedin's money come from, but this kind of thing is very common in Port Carlin, there are almost no people who don't take back the deductions, and those bigwigs actually know it, but a little money is a common practice, so they don't know.
However, the rebate is usually given after the payment is made, and Tolkien suddenly says that he wants to give it a discount, apparently to give money to Diaedin.
In this regard, Diaedin is very satisfied, although there are not many weapons ordered this time, they are all high-quality products, so the price is not low, and it is already a lot for him to take 20%, not to mention, he collects this money simply, just a few words that are not nutritious.
"Haha, it's still the brother who will do things, thank you. Since you are so interesting, I will say one more word, whether you listen to you or not, you don't think I am verbose. ”
"How so? Brother, are you willing to mention some brother, that's a great favor, how can I be so ignorant? Tolkien immediately exaggerated. I have to say that after living in the human world for a long time, even these upright dwarves have become more and more hypocritical.
If that kind of traditional dwarf had already been on the same page as Soram when he was mad, how could he apologize in a low voice.
"Do you know why Lord Soram was so angry just now?"
"Didn't I say the wrong thing?"
"Tsk, why are you so axial, although your words are a bit presumptuous, but is it worth Lord Solam's anger?"
"Or is it because I refuse to cooperate, but doesn't Lord Soram approve of our refusal?" Tolkien actually still has a bit of a good impression of Solam, after all, there are really not many spellcasters who are so reasonable, and they can recognize the difficulties of their Elders.
"Yes, but does recognition mean he won't be angry? Lord Solam is reasonable, and he probably won't trouble you about this matter, but that doesn't mean that he really doesn't have any trouble in his heart. You put yourself in your shoes and think about whether you would feel comfortable if it were you. ”
Tolkien touched his beard, squinted his eyes and thought about it, thinking that what Diaedin said made sense, others Solam was so sincere, and he personally came to talk to them about cooperation, but if he gave Tolkien a word of no, others might really not have a little pimple?
Seeing Tolkien approve of his words, Diaedin continued.
"Once this person has a mustard in his heart, it is not a good thing after all, he must always vent it, just now is the best proof, your words, make Soram angry. If you provoke Master Solam again, do you think he will be ruthless to you? ”
"Huh? You think he's going to backtrack? Tolkien thought that what Diaedin said was that Solam would find an opportunity to clean up the Hammer Guild in the future.
"Tsk, I said, how are you obedient, I said that Lord Soram will go back on his word? Besides, even if it does backtrack, do you think I'm going to tell you? ”
Tolkien really didn't believe it without the second half, but with the second half, the sentence was much more believable. Tolkien asked himself if he had a friendship with Diaedin, but this friendship did not reach the point where Diaedin would betray his partner for him.
"And what do you mean?"
"I mean, although Lord Soram won't trouble you for this, but I always remember it in my heart, you know what I mean, if you don't want to be remembered by Lord Solam, it's best to smooth out this knot in Soram's heart, but if you don't care, it's okay, anyway, as long as you don't provoke him, it should be fine, of course, this is my guess, it's up to you whether you listen or not."
You've said it all, can you not listen? Tolkien slandered in his heart, but Diaedin did have a point, and it wasn't a big deal to let a powerful spellcaster have a bad deal with their guild, but it was also very bad, because no one wanted to be targeted by a spellcaster.
"It's impossible to cooperate with the Black Claw Guild, otherwise I just agreed, so what else can I do? Brother Diaedin, since you have said so, there must be a way, just do the brother a favor and give me an idea. ”
"Well, by the way, I have to go, so that Lord Soram won't be in a hurry......"
"Eh, don't be in a hurry to leave, Brother Diaedin, let's talk about it again anyway, it won't delay much, you see that it's not successful, that batch of goods, we will give a seven-percent discount! That's all right, right? ”
Tolkien is not a fool, you have been talking in the vernacular for a long time, is it just to leave at a critical moment? No one will believe this, but they just want benefits. But to understand it, the benefits still have to be given.
"Hahaha, do we still need to care about this in our relationship? You look down on me! ”
Damn, don't ask for a kind. Tolkien was a bit of a businessman, but he had a clear conscience and was disgusted by Diaedin's words. But at a good age, he still said the scene that should be.
"Where is this, you and my brother, how can I look down on you? You must give me this face, otherwise, it's not that I look down on you, but you look down on me. ”
When he said this, Tolkien almost vomited out disgustingly, Damn, it's shameless, give you benefits, and I want me to beg you.
"Dude said so, and I reluctantly accepted it, and I won't be allowed to do it next time."
"Of course."
In fact, according to Dia Edin's level, if you really want benefits, you will definitely not be so naked, but who called Dia Edin angry? Do you think that this old guy refused to cooperate and only offended Solam alone?
Diaedin said confidently in front of Solam that he would let him do this, and he originally wanted to use this matter to show his ability to do the following, and by the way, take over the power of the construction from the Black Claw Guild. But I didn't expect that this old thing didn't give any face in front of his boss.
This made Diaedin feel that he was embarrassed in front of Solam, and he lost such a big face when he did things for the new boss for the first time, how could Diaedin feel good in his heart? Since you are unhappy, of course you have to take revenge.
But he is different from Solam, he doesn't have the courage to turn his face and scold directly, so hey, just disgusting this old boy, and by the way, he will get some benefits for himself, which is like killing two birds with one stone.
However, there is still a fire in this matter, and it is almost over, and it is not good for anyone to really force them into a hurry, so seeing that the fear is almost over, Diaedin said his idea.
"It's actually very simple, treat it differently!"
As soon as he heard this, Tolkien felt a flash of inspiration in his head, and he felt as if he had grasped something, but it was a little vague, but he didn't bother to think about it, and asked directly.
"How do you treat them differently?"
"It's not easy, how you should deal with the Black Claw Guild, how you deal with the Black Claw Guild, it's your business to cooperate or not, but you must be respectful enough to Lord Solam, and even stammer, in short, let Lord Soram know that you are targeting the Black Claw Guild. It's also that you're doing too roughly, and if you treat each other differently from the beginning, do you think Lord Soram would be so angry? ”
Really, if you don't reject Soram so categorically at first, but speak slowly, carefully, and at the same time hold Soram high and black claws low, wouldn't it be fine? And if it's not good, it can also separate the relationship between the Lower Black Claw Guild and Solam.
It's like just now, so hard to push back, as if he also has an opinion on Solam, and I don't blame others for Solam's displeasure.
"Oh, it's all because we were too anxious, we only knew that Lord Soram came to cooperate, so we hurriedly refused, I didn't think about it so much, how can this be good now?"
"It's not too late, you have to apologize now, in short, to make Lord Soram happy, and let him know that your Hammer Guild not only has no hostility towards Lord Solam, but on the contrary, has a hundred thousand respects! By the way, I heard that Lord Soram wants to equip his two men, so you don't need me to teach you the rest, right? ”
