Chapter 157 Firm = Intermediary?
At this time, the courtyard was already quiet, because the organizer of this party, Theros, was already standing in front, and at the same time, a young man stood next to him.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's a pleasure to be able to come to this party. Theros said confidently and calmly, causing Alan to look sideways for a while.
"I'm afraid you don't know who I am, or why I called you here today!" Theros said with certainty.
Without waiting for the people below to react, Theros immediately said, "My name is Theros, but I am the current vice consul of Port City. ”
"Vice-Consul of the Territory!"
For a while, everyone below fell into a commotion, and they were shocked by the news of Theros, after all, before, they had guessed that Theros was a member of the business family.
"Quiet!" Theros shouted, and the merchants listened to their own cacophony in fear.
"Very well, now let me introduce you, this is Lord Count Allen, and the Lord here!" Theros took a step back and said to the merchants below.
"Your Lord!"
"Lord Earl!"
All of the merchant servant guards below were shocked by the news.
"Ahem, good afternoon, everyone!" Alan greeted with a clear voice, and then stopped talking.
"Sir, aren't you saying a word?" Theros asked as he looked at Alan suspiciously, realizing that he didn't want to speak anymore.
"What else do you need to say?" Alan glanced at Theros with a strange expression, and then said, "I'll just leave it to you here, I'm just here to see how you're going." ”
"Earlier, I won't expose you!" Theros shouted silently in his heart, which could helplessly say, "Okay, my lord, now?"
"Now, I'll go, just go, and I won't bother you!" Alan misunderstood the meaning of Theros, and said with a look of approval, it was good for someone like him to be too lazy to come and take a look.
That's right, Alan is a very lazy person, and in the past, in order to survive, he had to do everything himself, but now, the general trend has come, and Allen's laziness is immediately revealed.
The corners of Theros' mouth twitched when he heard Alan's words, but he didn't say anything anymore, because Eren had already left.
"Leave!" Theros suddenly realized that Eren had actually put down the stall like this and ran away by himself!
However, Theros glanced at the crowd below, which was about to quiet down, and once again made a fuss because of Allen's departure.
"Silence me!" Theros let out a big breath and yelled.
The loud voice immediately suppressed the noisy scene, Theros looked at the crowd with a wry smile, and said slowly: "Well, the lord just came to inspect my work, and there is no other meaning. ”
Theros snapped into an extreme nonsense, "Okay, now I'll talk about it, for the sake of calling you over!"
When Theros talked about the reason for today's meeting, all the merchants immediately left the short-lived Alan behind.
"Lord Earl, he has decided to establish a merchant house...... "Theros snapped the meaning of this firm, and some of the merchants who thought about it for a while, and then thought of the great role of a firm.
Not to mention anything else, the fact that this trading house is composed of many merchants can bring huge profits.
In this era, what is the basis for making money, principal, goods, no, it is information, not only in this era, no matter what era, the means of making money by businessmen are inseparable from information.
Therefore, a source of information is a point to make money, for example, if the food in a certain place begins to be in short supply, then the businessman who knows the news will buy a large amount of grain from a place where the grain is rich and the price is low, and transport the grain to a certain place where there is a shortage of food, and earn the difference!
"Consul Theros, may I ask a question?" asked a merchant who had grabbed Eren earlier as Theros stopped speaking.
Theros raised an eyebrow and replied, "Of course, I don't know if you have any doubts?"
"The merchant you just mentioned, his owner is the Earl just now?" asked the middle-aged merchant suspiciously.
"Of course, this is what the Lord said!" Theros said, nodding.
"Then what does it cost us to join?" the middle-aged master continued.
This sentence asked the doubts of all the businessmen present, after all, how could it be possible not to make them pay any price for sharing information, but if this price is reasonable, it is not impossible to consider.
"Well, this is exactly what I'm going to be there in a moment!" Theros said slowly, feeling normal for the middle-aged merchant's doubts, because he was also a merchant, just an extra layer of aristocratic status.
Well, in Theros's eyes, this nobility has become secondary, and if the merchants below were given a choice, they would definitely choose to be a nobleman.
"The merchant house formed by the lord will occupy sixty percent of the entire trading house, and the remaining forty percent will be given to the caravans that join the merchant house according to their contributions. ”
"Forty percent?" The crowd below suddenly shouted, not too little, but a little too much!
You know, this is the cooperation of a big nobleman like an earl, not to mention anything else, but this security level is very high, which is a big backstage.
Once a merchant's profit is high to a certain level, countless nobles will come and reach out to pluck this tempting peach.
Therefore, when these phenomena appeared, the merchants began to use their clever brains, and before they developed, they had already found their own owners.
This is also an anomaly in the development of commerce in this world, generally speaking, a businessman's profit will be almost 1 in 10!
"Ahem, be quiet," Theros shouted, "you heard it right, this merchant only needs you to pay a certain price, we can help you get in touch, and the other merchants will come to Bonnie Rabbit for you." ”
Theros understands the behavior of these merchants, even if he is a merchant himself, although he doesn't have to worry about someone coming to pick his peaches, because he is also a nobleman, a nobleman recognized by the royal family.
Of course, what Theros proposed just now was all that he put forward after him perfected the firm that Allen proposed, otherwise to establish a huge firm would be just to do some business?
On this basis, Theros thought of a similar role of intermediary and further refined it.
