Chapter 23: The Invitation (II)
"That's right. I've only brought one with me today...... The family ordered fifty sets of such armor, however, it did not meet our requirements. β
The girl looked at the suit from a distance. It was a set of heavy armor, helmets, shoulder armor, hand armor, cuirasses, leggings, and combat boots, all black, decorated with dark green patterns, but without a trace of metallic luster, giving people a heavy, deep feeling.
"That armor," the girl whispered to Dimi, "is not made of metal?" β
"Not really," said Dimi in a low voice, "the heavy armor was made of two different layers of leather inlaid together. I guess the outer layer is rhinoceros or brute cow skin, while the inner layer may be python, flying snake, monitor lizard, or 'one-horned boar' skin, with steel wire mesh and padding in between. β
"How's it defensive? How does it compare to heavy armor made of steel? β
"Almost," Dimi said, "probably a little better in terms of impact protection and a little lighter." Ideal for equipping heavy cavalry. β
"So this is a very good quality armor?"
"Among the heavy armor that can be equipped in batches, it is considered the top."
"Then why did she return it?"
Obviously, Mr. Henry had the same doubts as the girl.
"Jessica," Mr. Henry, stroking the armor and tapping it again, "it's a well-suited armor without any defects. If you are not at ease, you can also bring the other forty-nine sets of armor, and we will check them one by one. β
"If you don't believe me, Miss Hahn," said one staff member, "we can test ...... field"
But Miss Hahn only smiled disdainfully: "I didn't say that this armor itself is flawed. I mean, they don't meet our requirements. β
"What?"
"The pattern on it, the pattern." Miss Hahn felt like she was going to blow up, "Did you knowingly ask?" Then I ask you - what is this green fox head on it? β
Mr. Henry's expression froze. He and the staff looked at each other.
"This fox ......," said Mr. Henry, staring at the armor with a dark green fox head painted on it, "as a decoration, it looks good......
"You look good!" Jessica?? Miss Hahn glared at her uncle, "Don't play dumb! How can there be a fox head decoration painted on armor? β
"Uh......"
"Whose hobby is this, or is it the crest of which family? You drew this pattern on the armor according to the buyer's custom requirements, but when the armor was ready, they refused to accept it for some reason! So you sold us this armor again! β
Mr. Henry was speechless.
"Tell me the truth. Isn't it? "Jessica?? Miss Hahn asked solemnly.
"I don't like you to say that's it," said Mr. Henry, with a wry smile, "it was originally ordered by a viscount's son, who wanted to assemble a whole cavalry using heavy leather armor, and the fox was drawn according to his request. But when the armor is ready, he won't be able to pay the rest of the payment! We had no choice but to transport the armor to the imperial capital. β
"We also want customization, not second-hand goods of the 'Fox Army'!" Miss Hahn exclaimed, "Father is too busy to inspect the goods, so you will cheat and play tricks!" If I hadn't paid attention......"
"Well," said Mr. Henry, with beads of sweat on his forehead, "my eldest lady, what do you want?" This set of armor is indeed a good new product...... Just a little processing and change it to the family crest of the JaΓ©n family......"
"Processing?" Miss Hahn blinked, "Okay. β
"Very good, then we ......"
"We paid the full amountβthe Viscount Fox must have paid a lot of deposits, right? In this business, you are making a double deposit. So you have to at least compensate us...... Well, a third of the price. β
"Miss!" A staff member couldn't help but shout, they would rather really return the goods than spit out another third of the payment for no reason.
"Think too high? That's thirty percent. β
"Jessica......" Mr. Henry felt that his head was bigger.
Count Hahn's territory is far away from the imperial capital, but Count Hahn has been the leader of the city guard in the imperial capital for a long time, and he has moved his family to the imperial capital. Count Hahn has always been impartial and selfless, but he is very doting on Jessica, a smart and active young daughter.
"That's it." Dimi, who had been watching the argument from a distance, finally couldn't sit still.
"His Highness Dimiteo!" Jessica shouted, her eyes lit up with excitement. She used to be far away from Dimi at the ball, but unfortunately Dimi didn't notice her.
"Your Highness......" Mr. Henry also looked embarrassed to wait for the fall.
"Well...... "Instead, Dimi was a little embarrassed to be stared at, "That's right, the Chamber of Commerce did lie when selling goods, so they should make up for the loss." The Chamber of Commerce should apologize to the Hahn family and be fully responsible for the reworking of fifty sets of armor......"
"Of course, Your Highness."
"But it's a bit hard to get them to pay thirty percent of the money, Miss Hahn." Dimi said righteously.
"......"
"There are costs to the preservation, transportation, and even the search for buyers," the girl also stepped forward, thinking that this farce should end here, "I believe that the Chamber of Commerce still retains a lot of profits, but pays 30% ...... in one go"
"So this time it's free," Dimi said, lost in thought, "the next time the Hahn family does business with the Continental Chamber of Commerce, the Continental Chamber of Commerce should compensate for the price below the market price...... Well, at least a nine-percent discount is okay? β
"Of course, Your Highness." Mr. Henry said immediately. This is a very good result for the Chamber of Commerce.
ββ¦β¦ Well, I agreed. Jessica also said, but she couldn't hide the disappointment on her face.
What everyone didn't know was that the girl was also disappointed. She would have proposed that the Chamber of Commerce "pay in installments" or pay 20% of the purchase price in a lump sum as compensation. She firmly believes that even if the compensation is 30%, the chamber of commerce will still make a steady profit in this business. There's no need to save money for Monopoly...... Right?
Jessica's attention shifted so quickly that she almost immediately lost interest in armor. She set her sights on the girl.
"I'll recognize you as soon as you come out - Victoria, you're the Baroness Victoria, aren't you?" Suddenly, Jessica rushed up and grabbed the girl's hand.
"It's meβ" The girl remembered that the owner of the afternoon salon was the girl in front of her. Margaret?? Ngol mentioned that he was going to meet with him at Jessica today.
Jessica?? Hahn looked at the girl for a long time. That look made the girl feel a little hairy.
ββ¦β¦ It's more beautiful than Margaret said. For a while, Jessica said, looking pensive.
"What?"
"Nothing," Jessica said, waving her hand, "See you in the afternoon." Of course, it's eleven o'clock now, and if you don't mind, you can come with me right away?" We were also able to have lunch together. β
