23 "Acquaintances" of the Chamber of Commerce
"It's you?!"
The woman's exclamation made Alan a little baffled, and he asked suspiciously, "Do you know me?"
"You saved my life, near the Giant Wood Forest, remember?!" she seemed to be very excited, and said in a hurried tone, "We were betrayed by traitors, and then someone set a trap, and it is best that if it weren't for you, we would have been wiped out." ”
"Really?" Vaguely there seemed to be such a thing, Alan was stunned, and then smiled kindly: "Don't take it to heart, just raise your hands." ”
"You saved all of our lives, I really don't know what to repay you..."
"I said that you don't need to be paid for anything. Alan smiled, then changed the subject: "You're interested in my necklace?"
"Yes, this item is very popular in the capital, and in small quantities, and many people are very interested in this. ”
"Not much?"
"Yes, a marketing tactic, the chamber of commerce that represents your necklace business does not fully open the market. The businesswoman said, and Yu Yu said, "He has made this necklace to the price of 50 gold coins each..."
She might think that Alan would be angry because of this, so she mentioned it painlessly, but he only shrugged his shoulders about it: "It doesn't matter, when I signed the contract, I was only responsible for supply, and at the price of 15 gold coins, he can sell it for so much money, that's his ability." ”
As he spoke, he smiled again: "And it's just a specialty." ”
"Yes. Seeing him so calm, the businesswoman smiled awkwardly, and then said, "But we can buy your goods for 20 gold coins each." ”
"Isn't 20?not 18?" Alan raised an eyebrow.
"In fact, the highest price our boss gave was 20 gold coins, 18 is just an expected price, you have saved many of our lives, I don't think and should bargain with you. ”
"Well, thank you for your generosity. Allen's words made the businesswoman slightly excited, but what he said next made her heart sink: "But I still haven't considered cooperating with you." ”
"You really don't consider the purchase price of 5 gold coins more, and the number is also unlimited?" asked the businesswoman unwillingly.
"Yes, not considered. Alan nodded.
"Are you afraid that we don't have that much financial resources? In fact, you don't have to worry about this at all, even if our financial resources are not as good as that goblin noble, it is no problem to eat your necklace business, and we can also pay for the goods with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, you don't have to worry about the payment..."
"No, no, no," Alan interrupted, "my dear cousin has already told me exactly how powerful you are, and I'm not worried about that. ”
"Then you...."
"I think it's a virtue to keep the spirit of the contract, don't you think so?"
"I'm sorry, I think you should think about it, 20 gold coins per strip, that's not a small amount based on how much you can produce each day, which is almost 200 more gold coins a day. ”
"It's certainly not a small amount. Alan smiled: "But do you think I'm still short of money now?"
"This," the businesswoman said. With this one-of-a-kind commodity in existence, could this guy be short of money?
"I'm still worried about how to spend money, but I won't do anything against my will because of this thing. As he spoke, he shrugged, "Unless one day I become a pauper, or have to." ”
Seeing his indifferent look, the businesswoman was a little depressed. As a businessman, I'm not afraid that you don't have a lower limit, I'm afraid that you are too disciplined, and the guy in front of you is obviously a person who doesn't eat oil and salt.
Keith on the side also looked silent, he risked a lot of psychological pressure to see Allen, but he didn't get anything.
Although it was a matchmaker this time, the Limestone Chamber of Commerce promised that as long as it succeeded, he would act as an agent for the crystal business near the Gold Coast, which had a great impact on Keith's development plan, but now it seems to have failed...
The businesswoman was silent for a moment, and finally did not dwell on anything more, but sighed: "Then do you have any needs?" Although we can't reach a cooperation, we must repay you for saving your life, it may be just an insignificant little thing for you, but we have been thinking about repaying it lately. ”
"There's really something. ”
Allen's words stunned the businesswoman, and then hurriedly asked, "What do you need help with, can you please say it?"
It seems that her idea of thanking Eren is not empty words, which makes Eren raise her senses to her by another level.
Whether it's sincere or showmanship, it's quite comfortable to communicate with the woman in front of you.
So he took out a bottle of pale green liquid and put it on the table.
"The necklace business cooperation is not successful, but this thing has not yet finalized the cooperation goal, you can take a look and help me estimate the price." ”
Seeing the businesswoman pick up the bottle of liquid, Alan squinted and said, "By the way, if you're interested, we can also discuss whether we can reach a cooperation." ”
"What is this?" Keith asked curiously, seeing the businesswoman looking down
"Primary healing potion. Alan replied, and then, under the interested gaze of the two, said, "Some simple injuries can be treated." ”
"How is it treated? What kind of injury is considered simple?"
Because of the necklace problem, the businesswoman still values what Eren has brought out, although she is not sure about the specific effect.
"I don't think you understand it, so you might as well try it. ”
Treatment-related potions, how to experiment, self-explanatory.
"This...."
The businesswoman hesitated for a moment, and then, under Allen's curious gaze, she took out a dagger and made a cut in the palm of her hand, with a neat movement.
Bright red blood flowed out instantly, but the businesswoman only frowned slightly, and then uncorked the bottle and poured the green liquid into it.
"Actually, you can do experiments with your hands, you don't have to try it yourself. Alan blinked, "And this thing is for drinking." ”
"It's a little more intuitive. The businesswoman stared at her wound and smiled, "It turns out that falling on it also works." ”
It really worked, the originally fresh wound had been visibly gathered at this time, and in a few breaths, the scar had already formed.
"I feel that it won't take a few minutes for this injury to completely heal as before..."Seeing this effect, the businesswoman was amazed, and then looked up at Allen: "This is a life-saving commodity! If this potion exists, it is estimated that the number of people who die every year will be one-third less every year!"
"Okay, how much do you think he can sell it for?" Alan didn't think that this potion could have much impact, because it could only treat some skin injuries, he had already tried it, internal injuries and the like were not at all, and they were not as effective as his original treatment of minor injuries.
But he believes there must be a big market for it. The most common phenomenon of the stars is injury, and major injuries are not healed, and bruises are still fine.
"If I estimate it. The businesswoman looked excited, but also quite apprehensively said: "This potion and necklace belong to two types, the former customer group is aristocratic families, and this kind is some ordinary mercenaries, the audience is more, but the consumption level is low, the price..."
"I don't need to explain this, I've already understood" Alan also understands this, just like the businesswoman said, different classifications, prices naturally vary a lot.
No matter where he is, the price of luxury goods will always be many times more expensive than everyday goods, and he cannot be unaware of this.
Hearing him say this, the businesswoman was a little more steady, she didn't want Alan to feel like she was deliberately undercutting the price.
"Although it can't be compared to a necklace, it's not just a matter of treating minor injuries, and I'll need to go back and experiment with it carefully, but at this point alone, it shouldn't cost less than 50 silver coins. ”
"Oh? Why?"
"Because it treats wounds quickly so that they don't get worse, you know, most of the adventurers don't die immediately, most of them get seriously injured on the way back and eventually die, and if this potion exists, it will greatly extend their survival time. ”
She said this very sincerely, and Alan nodded secretly.
This businesswoman did not take out that kind of businessman's slippery to suppress prices in disguise, but was so sincere and smart.
"If that's convenient, can you give me a few more bottles of this potion? I'll go back and make a specific assessment, and then I'll give you a reasonable price - probably no less than 50 silver coins. ”
"Didn't you say sell for 50?" Alan thought she was more interesting.
The businesswoman replied, "Yes, but this potion is a commodity that has never been seen before, we can learn from your collaborators at the beginning, hype it up, and then gradually reduce the price, if it is not so easy to crack, then this unique commodity can not only be sold for money, it will have a great strategic impact on our Chamber of Commerce." ”
