Chapter 0007 Merchant is Gambling

Fanpei, who felt that the future was bright, finally slept very comfortably. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When the sun hung in mid-air the next day, Van Pei was urged to get up by Gayle.

"Young master, someone is here." Gail shouted eagerly.

"What's coming?" Van Pei was still a little confused.

"Bought the mine."

"Viscount Dassault from Fury Wind Fortress is here? Or did you send someone else? Van Pei rubbed his eyes and couldn't help but yawn.

"No, not the Fury Fortress, but the merchants of Bihaif. He happened to be in the town of Heta to buy the specialties of the Heta Forest, and after hearing the news, he rushed over overnight. Gail explained.

Biwan Merchant.

Van Pei hurriedly asked Gale to bring him a basin of water to wash.

Because I don't know when Van Pei will wake up, and I am afraid that boiling water too early will be cold, there is no hot water at this time. Fan Pei didn't care much, so he directly brought cold water and came over to wash his face. The icy cold water made Van Pei wake up completely soon.

Biwan Bay does not belong to the Grizzly Kingdom, but is a port city of the Duchy of Mink in the northern part of the Commercial Alliance, and is a year-round ice-free port, from which many merchants will set off to trade in the Far North region of the Grizzly Kingdom through the North Wave Sea. Among them, ore is a kind of goods that Biwan merchants love to procure.

"No, what are the merchants of Biwan Bay doing here to buy mines?"

Fan Pei, who was awake by the stimulation of cold water, suddenly patted his head, so that Gail, who was bringing a mink coat to put on Fan Pei, thought that the third ancestor had convulsions again.

Those who dare to eat a mine in the Grizzly Kingdom are not small merchants, this kind of businessman should be very well-informed, and the business alliance plans to suspend trade with the Grizzly Kingdom, not to mention that new ore sources have been discovered overseas, and at this time, it is not a hole in the brain to come to the Grizzly Kingdom to buy mines at a high price?

"Young master, didn't you sleep well? Or I'll tell him to wait a little longer? Gail was a little unsure of the temper of this startled third ancestor.

"No, go now."

The soldiers will come to block the water and cover the earth, and Van Pei wants to see what this merchant in Biwan wants to do.

When Van Pei arrived at the town hall in good spirits, which was barely able to receive guests, the merchants of Biwan had been waiting here for a long time, and one of the soldiers was guarding the hall.

When he saw Van Pei come in, the man in the green robe stood up and saluted Van Pei: "Venerable Third Young Master of the Shaw Bird family, I am Philigot, a merchant from Bihaiwan, and I salute you. ”

Philigot.

Van Pei vaguely remembered this man, a well-known Biwan merchant in the far north, and heard that he was also very powerful in the Duchy of Mink. However, after the Grizzly Kingdom cut off trade, Philigot never came to the Far North, so Van Pei didn't know much about Philigot.

But it didn't matter, at least Van Pei knew that Philigot had a caravan of twenty large ships in the far north alone.

"Philippe, please be seated. You're not here for the mines. ”

Van Pei sat down on the main seat, and went straight to the point when he opened his mouth, and the mighty head of Gale stood beside Van Pei with a sword, still very generous.

"Thank you, Young Master Van Pei, but why do you say that?"

Philigot was a middle-aged man in his forties, with curly brown hair and an upturned beard, who liked to touch his beard when he spoke.

"Isn't the business alliance because the Simir region wants to end its cooperation with our kingdom?" Van Pei rubbed his nails leisurely.

Hearing the incredulity between his eyebrows, Philigot flashed extremely briefly, and then said with a smile: "Young Master Van Pei said that he laughed, our business alliance has always attached great importance to business cooperation with your country. ”

"Oh? Is it? "But as far as I know, the commercial alliance is very unhappy that we have occupied the Simir region, and wants us to withdraw from it, otherwise the trade will be suspended." ”

"Master Van Pei said with a smile, I'm just a businessman and don't understand politics." Philegot was very strange, he didn't understand why Van Pei knew so clearly, wasn't this guy a third ancestor?

Old fox, you don't leak a drop of water!

"Okay, I'm not going to talk to you anymore." Van Pei went straight to the point, "As far as I know, the business alliance has discovered a new source of ore overseas, the cost is cheaper, and there is no need for high-priced ore from the Grizzly Kingdom in the future, so there is no need to buy such an expensive iron mine as mine." So I guess you have something else to do with me, right? ”

Van Pei's relaxed and leisurely expression really surprised Philipp this time.

"Young Master Van Pei, you don't seem to know the same as I do, I'm surprised that there is such a visionary person as you in the Grizzly Kingdom, and you are so young, it seems that my understanding of the Hubbard family is still too superficial."

For Van Pei's rhetorical question, Philegot was really surprised, at least the people in the Grizzly Kingdom he came into contact with, everyone felt that the business alliance could not do without the Grizzly Kingdom, because only the Grizzly Kingdom could provide them with enough ore and magic crystals that they urgently needed.

But today, a man who was supposed to be a gentleman gave Philigot a new insight.

For Philigot, the son of a top elite family was exactly what he needed and the best to control.

As for the mines, sorry, Philigot was not interested at all.

It's just that I didn't expect that this Van Pei was almost worlds different from what I knew.

"Lord Philgot, tell me what you mean, I don't have the heart to play dumb riddles with you, Sunset Town still has a lot of things to deal with for me. If there is nothing to do, then I will not accompany you. ”

Van Pei is in need of a merchant with a business alliance so that he can still trade with foreign countries after the Grizzly Kingdom is suspended. On the surface, though, Van Pei doesn't show it.

Besides, if the other party takes the initiative to find the door, the initiative must be in their own hands.

"As you said, I'm not here to buy the mine, but I can help you raise the price at which the mine is sold. As far as I know, Viscount Dassault of Fury Fortress has sent Baron Hill of Vickdun to take the iron mine at all costs. Philippet stroked his upturned beard, "Of course, I won't tell him that the Business Alliance no longer needs your country's ores, because he is far from the foresight of Master Van Pei, and he will not believe it at all. But I can carry it up with him when the other party is bidding, and keep raising the price. ”

"Philigot, you have a lot of eyeliner in the Far North. But what do you need to help me like this? Van Pei smiled, but became more and more cautious.

"I hope that your father, Lord Earl Bandick, will submit a bill to your Senate and that it will pass, that is, to allow my fleet to move freely through the Far North, even if the commercial alliance halts trade with your country." Philigot smiled slightly, "If you agree, I will double the price of the ore, and you can earn an extra hundred thousand gold bears just by sitting here." ”

Van Pei finally understood why Philigot was looking for him, once the kingdom officially cut off trade, and the news that the business alliance secretly funded the Shedi people was exposed, the grizzly kingdom would retaliate against the business alliance, and the merchants would naturally bear the brunt, and Philigott would have to disappear into the far north, where he would operate for many years, and all his hard work would be ruined.

The game progressed like this, and Philigot disappeared into the Far North completely.

"I can tell you for sure that your bill will not be passed by the old guys in the Senate, who simply don't believe that the Business Alliance no longer needs the Grizzly Kingdom. And if you openly interfere in the internal affairs of the kingdom, the people in the Senate will only want to peel off your skin. ”

Van Pei's words gave Philigott a headache, if he was a gentleman and made an extra 100,000 golden bears, he would definitely stalk his family. So that's why Philigot had a headache when he found out that Van Pei was not a gentleman.

"But ......"

Van Pe paused, and Frerichot's mind was hooked.

Philigot hated this feeling very much, and he was actually led by the nose by a hairy boy, but he could only follow Van Pei's train of thought and ask: "Master Van Pei, do you have any other way?" ”

"Pretty much. I will ask my father to push the Senate to pass a resolution that Sunset will be a permanent foreign trade port for the Grizzly Kingdom, and you will be able to trade in Sunset in the future. What does that mean, I don't need to say more, right? ”

Van Pei coldly threw out another sentence, which made Philigot have to look at the son of the top magnate in front of him again.

Obviously, he underestimated the heritage of the wealthy family.

"But why do you believe you? What's more, if the Xuedi people attack Sunset Town again, how can you ensure the safety of Sunset Town? Philippe frowned, he didn't like the feeling of being pinched, but it was clear that he had fallen behind in this meeting.

"Businessmen are born to gamble, aren't they? If you lose the bet, you will have to withdraw from the Far North as originally planned. If you win the bet, can the merchants who will flock to Bihai Bay in the future compare with your first person to eat crabs? Van Pei stood up and walked straight out the door, "Don't forget, my father was the whip of the King/Prince of the Senate of the Kingdom, and my grandfather was the most decorated Duke of the Kingdom. I'm just the mayor of a small town, but no one can stop me from changing Sunset Town. ”

Philigot looked at Van Pei who was leaving, and suddenly felt that he really couldn't underestimate these wealthy people, they were born with the vision and courage to stand above countless people, which is a realm that many ordinary people can hardly climb up in their lifetime.

In this meeting, Philigot knew that he had lost, but he was convinced of the loss, because before the meeting, this young master knew all his hole cards.
