Lilu? Agot?

This name, which should not belong to the Peerless World, made Chu Xuan's flat glasses eerily flash a light.

However, if you want to consider it from the perspective of the times, in this era of great discovery, when European countries have set their eyes on the ocean, it is really normal for the characters in the "Age of Exploration Series" to appear.

In addition, the same company produced the "Musou Series", "Three Kingdoms Series", "Nobunaga's Ambition Series", and "Taiko Rishiden Series".

In short, existence is reasonable—even in this unscientific space of the main god.

So...... This Lilu? Argot, and Sister Louise next to her? Floys, it should be a military general who has awakened the "unmatched" ability, right?

After Kenshin-chan and the others greeted each other with "foreign friends", Sister Louise, who had extremely huge boobs and beautiful long blond hair? Floyse took the initiative to bring the topic to the petite and cute Lilu? Argotte, and Lilu immediately took advantage of her ability to speak, and quickly won the favor of Kenshin-chan and Ayagozen and others.

"Well...... There are sea monsters and ghost ships on the sea, but what is even more dangerous is that once the ship sinks, it will be difficult for even the generals to come back alive in the middle of the vast sea...... To be honest, even I admire your courage.

And it's amazing that you became the commander of a fleet at such a young age. ”

After listening with interest to Lilu's colorful story of her voyage, Ayagozen looked at this beautiful blonde girl who was as old as her sister, but looked much smaller and weaker, and nodded with admiration.

I have to say, Lilu? Agot is really a natural businessman, and he immediately saw that it was her sister Ayago who had a strong influence on Kenshin-chan, and used Ayago as a breakthrough to take the family route to achieve her goals.

- This trick should be equally useful for foreigners, but when it is used on Orientals, it is called the right medicine!

But!

It's a pity that Echigo's economy and trade are completely Chu Xuan's "territory", and he can say the same, even Qianxin-chan can't cross what he promised Lilu without permission.

So, when Lilu proposed that she wanted to act as a full-fledged agent for the Uesugi family's trade with the Nanban, both Kenshin-chan and Ayagozen set their sights on Chu Xuan, who had been silently observing Lilu.

"Carte blanche for trade with the Nanban?"

Chu Xuan pushed down his reflective glasses expressionlessly, looked at Lilu with an innocent face with a cold gaze, and asked lightly:

"Do you think we are fools, thinking that we don't know where Nanban is and how big it is?"

As soon as she heard this, Lilu, who was still pretending to be innocent on her face, immediately "chuckled" in her heart and shouted that it was not good.

The daimyo she had come into contact with before, even if they had already believed in the Nanban Sect, were not at all interested in where the place "Nanban" was, how many countries there were, how large the area was, how much population they had, and their attention was focused on the goods or novel treasures brought by the Nanban merchants.

-- Of course, most of the lords on the other side of the sea, China, Southeast Asia, India, Africa, and the New World, did not care about this issue, and only the lords of the Middle East and North Africa knew more about Europe.

An Oriental like Chu Xuan, who seemed to know everything about Europe in his tone - and a noble man, Lilu was still meeting it for the first time.

"That...... Lord Chu Xuan, how is it possible, little woman, I just think that all of you who know everything and know everything, of course, know the situation of our Nanban very well, so there is no need to repeat it again. ”

Lilu tried her best to blink her eyes desperately and pretend to be cute, those beautiful emerald green eyes seemed to be full of twinkling stars, but unfortunately this had no effect at all on Chu Xuan, who was incomprehensible.

"I believe that the basic principle of cooperation should be 'win-win'.

This is not to say that it is a win-win situation as long as both parties can benefit from the cooperation, but that both parties must get their fair share of the profits.

If you're just going to do a deal with us in the future, then you choose to keep the purchase price as low as possible, hide information that we don't know, or even deceive us, that's fine.

But since your purpose is to represent all the goods that we sell to Nanban in Echigo, the price you offer is an insult to us.

According to the purchase price you give, after deducting various costs, you can get almost a thousand times the profit as long as you ship the goods to Europe.

Of course, this may be taken for granted by you Nanban merchants, after all, you also buy goods in the East fairly and reasonably according to the market price, or even higher than the market price, and then no matter where you ship the goods and how much you sell, it is your own ability, not to mention that you also bear huge transportation risks.

-- But that's for goods that can be bought everywhere in the East.

But our goods are completely unique, so we have the right to demand a higher share of profits, rather than working hard to produce goods and then being exploited by you. ”

Although Chu Xuan's tone was not harsh, a lot of sweat had already broken out from Lilu's back, soaking the expensive green silk lace crop top.

Although silk is not particularly valuable in the East, it is not something that ordinary people can afford to wear, because it is not strong enough to wear and work, and after a long time or the number of times the pulp is washed, because the protein will naturally turn yellow, become brittle, and then crumble.

In the West, a formal dress made of silk has become a symbol of status and wealth, and even Lilu, who owns a fleet, needs to grit her teeth and make up her mind if she wants to buy a new dress made of silk.

This time, when Lilu returned to her residence, she saw that the clothes she had always cherished were first soaked with her sweat and dried by her body temperature, and the service life was greatly shortened, maybe she would cry out in distress.

However, Lilu, who was very shrewd, didn't care about worrying about her expensive clothes now, because of Chu Xuan's words, Ayayuzen, Qianxin-chan, who originally liked her very much, and the other generals who were sitting with her, all showed angry eyes.

Although Lilu and Yue herself have not dealt with many times, she knows very well that Oriental people pay special attention to "face" and do not pay much attention to money, as long as they give enough face to Oriental people, they are very easy to speak, but if they feel that their dignity is offended, then they would rather rot in the ground than sell it.

-- And this time, Lilu, who has been profiting from the advantage of information asymmetry, finally suffered a big loss because of her greed.

Although she agreed with Chu Xuan's statement, "After all, you also buy goods in the East fairly and reasonably according to the market price, or even higher than the market price, and then no matter where you ship the goods and how much money you sell, it is your own ability", she knew better that if the person who sold her the goods knew the profit she had made, she would definitely not consider how much risk she had taken in it, and would only feel that she was a fool who sold gold as a stone, and was deceived by her.

In fact, it is true that all those who know the lucrative nature of ocean trade will do everything possible to open up new routes and sell their goods in faraway foreign lands, rather than endure the "exploitation" of ocean-going merchants.

In order to safeguard their own vested interests, European countries and chambers of commerce all regard the information they have on shipping lanes as a treasure, and they will not only try their best to monopolize existing ports and shipping lanes, but sometimes they will also use some dishonorable means to obstruct the legitimate business activities of new competitors.

In contrast, Lilu, who is just using "reasonable" means to maximize profits as much as possible? Argot is as pure as an angel.

"We're not going to deal with scammers! Please come back!

Also, please take home the gift with you! ”

Sure enough, the development of the situation was just as Lilu expected, who didn't care about how much money she could sell the goods she wanted to buy, and was a little secretly happy because her goods could be sold at such a "high" price, raised her eyebrows, and opened her mouth in a very stern tone.

And the retainers around Qianxin-chan were even more angry and red-faced, thinking that they and their lords had been deceived by this Nanban merchant, if it weren't for the fact that this Nanban merchant was also a military general, they would definitely have cut down this guy who was engaged in a "lowly profession" directly.

However, if they knew that they could make hundreds or thousands of times more profits by engaging in ocean trade, and that they had ships that could sail far away, then many of their "noble" generals would also want to "go to the sea to make money".

In fact, many of the daimyo who often dealt with foreign merchants were already doing this, and there were also some generals who did not have the strength of ocean trade, but they could choose a more convenient and fast way to participate in the sea trade, that is, to become pirates.

However, although those people were called "pirates" in the original language, they were completely bandits, so other countries called them "pirates".

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry...... I admit that I did hide the profits I could make, but everybody did, and we in our business kept it as a secret that we were allowed to keep.

Please forgive me, okay, I don't dare anymore, I really hope to be able to get the right to act as an agent for Echigo's goods! ”

Before being kicked out of the main hall, Lilu finally used her best skill as a businessman - five bodies to cry and apologize to Qianxin-chan. (To be continued.) )
