Chapter 134: The Leather Business
"Anyway, take a good rest and rest for the next period of time, and the business can be put to rest, anyway, we are not short of money now. ”
Seeing that Kevin was in good spirits, Alan was relieved.
"I don't have time to rest, I'm afraid I'll be busy for a while, and the more the Hepburns try to bring us down, the less we can get them going. ”
Kevin's eyes flashed with a sharp gaze, and now that Alan is here, he is not only full of confidence, but his morale has also increased a few points.
"Brother-in-law, can we continue our pharmacy business?"
Steven asked.
"No, I can't. ”
Alan shook his head.
"Why? Haven't you already explained it to the lord?"
"Although the lord believes that we are not so closely connected with the elves, the Hepburn family is not so easy to dismiss, if we do not give up the potion business, they will definitely hold on to this matter, and it will not be good for us to delve into it after all. ”
"I see. ”
Steven nodded, although he felt extremely sorry for the loss of the lucrative pharmacy business, but he understood that you can't lose a big thing because of a small one. Although the relationship between Eren and the elves is not a shameful thing, it cannot be made public in the human world after all, otherwise the possible consequences are not predictable at all. So they can't let the Hepburn family continue to entangle on this issue, and the only way to not let them get entangled is to give up the pharmacy business and not compete with the Hepburn family.
"Business, Steven don't worry. I have an idea that the current situation outside the border has led to a shortage of furs, and furs have become a stearful commodity, and the only sources of goods are mainly purchased from refugees who have gone south. Those refugees are not without any value, through which they can obtain a certain amount of fur supply, so two months ago I went to Tiesong Town, discussed with Isha, through Isha's mediation, basically reached an agreement with the refugees, and we will be the exclusive agent of all the goods in their hands in the future. At that time, we will become the largest wholesaler of furs in the ancient city of Aogu, and the fur merchants from the south will come to us to get their goods, and of course we can sell the furs directly south through smuggling channels. ”
In the six months since Allen left, Kevin was not satisfied with the status quo except for dealing in potions and some smuggling accidents, and was still doing everything possible to expand his business, through interacting with some businessmen, he learned that the most sought-after commodity in the ancient city of Okushi was actually furs, and then he realized that with Isha's prestige among the nomads entering the customs, he could easily monopolize the source of furs in the hands of refugees.
"Kevin, the lives of refugees are not easy, and we can't use them as a tool to make money. ”
Alan reminded Kevin.
"Allen, don't worry, I don't make black money. Sooner or later, the furs in the hands of the refugees will have to be sold, and this money is better for us to earn than for other merchants to earn. And the price we give at the purchase end is still fair, but the price is increased by 50% at the sales side, and we are actually making the profits of the middlemen, and these profits will be used to help the victims. ”
When it comes to doing business, Kevin starts to gush.
"Sir, dinner is ready. ”
The butler came in and reported to Steven.
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about business today, let's drink. ”
Elvis had no interest in business, and he had been drowsy for a long time, but now he was interested when he heard the butler say that he was going to eat, and he interrupted everyone's communication and pushed Alan towards the restaurant, and the others naturally followed.
"You don't know, the claws of that red dragon were only 0.01 inches away from Alan's head, if I hadn't yelled: let go of your dirty claws, what ability to come at Lao Tzu, don't embarrass my brother, Eren would be finished. ”
The lighting magic array illuminates the entire restaurant, and everyone's interest is also very high, pushing the glass to change the lamp, Elvis is even a leg of mutton in one hand and a wine glass in the other, salivaing to tell everyone about the experience of this trip to the Kulun Mountains, especially the two battles that happened at the top of the Dragon God Mountain and the door of the Golden Dragon Gate.
The whole mission was originally thrilling, and let Elvis add fuel to the fire, not to mention that Steven and Kevin had not experienced it, even if it was Miranda who had experienced it but did not see it, he was shocked.
"Thank you to the warriors who came with me to the Cullen Mountains to live and die! and thank you Kevin, who stayed here to guard this home for us, and I salute you. ”
When Elvis finished speaking, Alan raised his glass, looked around, and said sincerely.
"That's what we're supposed to do. ”
"Alan, you're so polite. ”
"It's nothing compared to what you gave us. ”
Everyone was polite, raised their glasses and drank with Allen.
"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed to be ashamed of what you've experienced, and I feel that this month in prison has been as comfortable as a vacation. ”
Kevin touched the scar on his chest and shook his head, imagining the despair of Alan and them being trapped in the Dragon God Mountain, hungry and cold, waiting for death to come, he felt that the grievances he suffered were really nothing.
"Kevin, if you can participate in a dragon slaying battle and eat delicious roast dragon meat, it will be worth it even if you suffer more hunger and more cold. To be honest, dragon meat is much more delicious than mutton, do you want to try it, how many pieces do I have left in my bag?"
Elvis said as he took a bite of roast lamb and wiped his oily mouth with a napkin.
"Did you really kill the dragon?"
Kevin listened to several people describe their dragon slaying, and he had a feeling of disbelief, like someone saying that several mice teamed up to kill a cat.
"The dragon's corpse is still hidden in the valley outside the city, and I won't believe it I'll take you back to see it. ”
Elvis said with his nostrils turned to the sky, as if he had killed the two dragons alone.
"That's right, Steven. Buying a larger manor on the outskirts of the city, I want to transfer the dragon corpses into it, these are excellent alchemy materials, and they will be of great use in the future. ”
Speaking of the dragon corpse, Alan suddenly remembered that the corpses of the two giant dragons were still hidden in the valley outside the city, and there was no place at home to hide the corpses of the two huge dragons, so he had to find another suitable place.
"Brother-in-law, we have a manor in the suburbs, just transfer it directly. ”
Steven replied.
"Good. That's all for today's dinner, everyone has worked hard today, hurry back and rest. ”
Everyone chatted for a while, Alan saw that Kevin was a little tired, and Bloom was also absent-minded, knowing that they were thinking about their home, one of them had just been released from prison, and the other had returned from nine deaths, and they had not reported it to their families, so he ended the banquet in time and personally sent the two people to the door, Bloom rode away, and Kevin let the servant drive the carriage back.
