Taylor is the second business agent of the Hepburn family that Allen has seen, and is also the representative of the interests of the Hepburn family, he is slightly older than Gerald, a middle-aged man in his forties, his demeanor is very elegant, as if he has a well-educated aristocracy, although he is doing a farm work just now, but his every move seems to be painting a beautiful oil painting.

John made introductions to both parties, and Taylor asked Alan to sit down, and asked the servant to bring the muller and pour it for the three men.

"Since the beginning of winter this year, the weather has been very comfortable, and I have a rare leisure time, so I just took the opportunity to do activities. ”

Taylor took off his coat, handed it to the servant, and said hello. It's November, and in early winter, the first snow of winter should have been ushered in in the ancient city of Aogu, but the temperature in Lua City, located in the southeast of the mainland, is still very pleasant, neither hot nor cold, especially on a sunny day, sitting in the garden basking in the sun, blowing the breeze, and drinking a glass of muller, it is indeed a very pleasant thing.

"Taylor-sama is a Rua?"

Alan asked after taking a sip of muller, then putting down his glass.

"No, my hometown is in Winston, but I've been traveling to the southern countries for the sake of my family's business, and I only came to Lua three years ago, and I've stayed until today, but now I've loved this place. Mr. Levens is a Jus?"

Taylor said it casually, but he also tactfully revealed that he had served the Hepburn family for many years, and was completely regarded by the Hepburn family as their own.

"Exactly. I'm from the western part of Jus, where my ancestors have been engaged in some small fur business, and I heard that there is a shortage of furs in the south this year, so I came here to try my luck. ”

"If Mr. Levens wants to sell leather goods at a good price, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, it's a warm winter in the south this year, and I haven't even worn cotton clothes until now, and I'm afraid there is no demand for leather goods. ”

Taylor shook his head and said.

Alan finally understood why Taylor brought up the topic of warm weather as soon as they met, it was clear that he was a smarter businessman than Gerald of the ancient city of Ao, and he said this in order to drive down the price. Although Alan is not proficient in business, but Kevin also talked to him before this departure, although the climate in the east of Hig is warm, but it is not the hot climate south of the Congo Mountains, there are still two or three months of winter every year, especially in the central and southern part of Higg, because the warm air flow from the south is blocked by the Congo Mountains, a large part of the area is grassland and desert areas, and the winter is very cold, so there is no shortage of market for fur products in Higg, and the nobles and rich people of Higg like to use brocade hats and mink fur in winter to show their rich status。 Fortunately, his purpose this time was not to do business, otherwise he would have to be slaughtered by the cunning guy in front of him.

Alan secretly thought about it in his heart, but what came out of his mouth was something else:

"Lord Taylor, in addition to selling a batch of leather goods in my hands, I also want to establish a long-term cooperation channel in the east of Higg, otherwise I don't have to come to meet my lordship. ”

"Boss Levins's idea is good, don't always focus on the immediate interests, you can't make a lot of money by calculating a lot, you must take a long-term view. ”

Taylor received his hands to his chest and gave him a gentle applause as a sign of appreciation for Allen's "visionary."

"Thank you, sir, for your affirmation. ”

"Mr. Levins, how many skins did you bring this time?"

Taylor's words shifted to this business, which was what he really cared about.

Alan raised three fingers.

"Three cars?"

"Thirty cars!"

"Oh!"

Hearing Allen's figures, Taylor's eyes lit up, now that the situation in the north is tense, being able to traffic thirty truckloads of leather goods at one time is already a rare big customer.

"Mr. Levins, for our sake, I want all thirty wagons of your wagons, how about you take a look at the price?"

Taylor picked up a piece of papyrus in the center of the table and put it in front of him, pulled out the quill pen from the pen holder, dipped it in ink, brushed down a few numbers, and pushed the papyrus in front of Alan.

Alan took the papyrus and glanced at it, the price given by Taylor was not particularly outrageous, according to this price, although he could not make a lot of money on this trip, at least there was a certain amount of profit to be made. But since it is business, it is natural to bargain, Alan also took out the quill pen on the pen holder, wrote another number under the number written by Taylor, and then handed the papyrus back to Taylor, Taylor took the papyrus and looked at it, and couldn't help but be stunned, Allen's counteroffer not only did not rise, but also dropped by two hundred gold coins per car, if according to this price, Alan will definitely not have any profit even if he does not lose.

"Lord Taylor, are you satisfied with the price?"

Alan asked with a smile as he looked at Taylor.

"John, I have some personal matters to talk about with Mr. Levens. ”

Taylor didn't answer Allen's words, but turned his head to John, who was listening intently to the conversation between the two men.

"Oh... Oh, two adults talking, I'll go out for a while. ”

John knew that the two men might have some secrets to talk about, and immediately left with a sense of humor.

"Mr. Levins, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly. ”

Seeing John's figure disappear, Taylor moved his ass to sit more straight against the back of the chair.

"I want to get to know Bishop Dennis through the relationship of my lordship. ”

Alan said straight to the point.

"You want to see Bishop Dennis?"

Taylor cocked his left leg onto his right.

"Yes, I know that with the power of the Lord, even the Bishop will give you face. ”

Alan complimented him unabashedly.

"It's not difficult to see Dennis, but he's busy with the celebration for a while, I'm afraid he won't have time, and if you must see him, then it may have to wait until after the celebration. ”

Taylor's hands were also clasped on his upturned knees, and his fingers tapped and tapped, and he said with some embarrassment.

"If the Bishop doesn't have time, then it would be nice for the Bishop to introduce me to someone close to him, such as Lord Lawson of the Escort. ”

Alan said as he bowed forward.

"Lawson? Do you know Lawson?"

"There was a one-sided relationship. ”

"Lawson is a martial artist, he doesn't know anything about business, what are you looking for him?"

"My lord misunderstood, I wanted to know Lord Lawson not for business but because of faith, and I was interested in the people around the bishop. ”

"It's easy to see Lawson, I know him very well, but Lawson is the deputy head of the Lua Church Guard, in charge of the security work throughout the celebration, I'm afraid he is busier than Bishop Dennis, you are afraid that it is not easy for you to meet him, and as far as I know, Lawson has already gone south with a team of men yesterday, and I heard that he is going to welcome an important guest from Winston, and it will be at least three days before he wants to meet him. ”

Perhaps in order to show off that he knew almost everything in Lua City, Taylor even told Allen about Lawson's whereabouts.
