Chapter 19 This is not a good man, this is a profiteer

Are all the girls in this world so abnormal? Ainabel is like this, Isabel is like this, even more terrifying than Ainabel! Could it be that this is the normal order of this world!

Roy was messy in the wind.

Hicks had already confirmed the identities of the two of them after reading the letter of introduction that Ainabel had given him, and after receiving Roy's promise and seeing Ainabelle's live demonstration, he also believed that they could do what he wanted.

So Hicks beckoned to them and said, "Time is money, so let's stop talking nonsense, come, come in with me, and I'll explain to you what you usually do, and your wages." ”

Hearing the word wages, Roy and Ainabel's eyes suddenly lit up, wasn't the reason why they left the magic pattern master's discipline and came here to work here was just for wages?

Uh, what's the Demon Master's rituals?

Hicks led them into his shop, and before entering the house, Hicks shouted to the porters: "Give me all the care, take your wages seriously, if you cheat and cheat, don't even think about taking any of your wages!!"

After saying that, Hicks ignored the response of these workers and led people directly into the house.

Hicks's hut was filled with all kinds of goods, and although it wasn't particularly large, it was a wide variety of goods, and Roy took a quick look at it and saw that no less than twenty or thirty kinds of goods were neatly arranged and sold.

Hicks walked to his counter, then opened the drawer, took out a notebook from it, opened it and said, "I'll see, well, there are a batch of valuable and fragile sculptures that you need to send to the transfer station on the mountain outside the city, because they are fragile, so they can't be transported by ordinary transportation, only by manpower, of course, things like transport vehicles can still be used, but you have to be quite careful when transporting them." ”

"If you can help me send it over, I can pay you 70 copper for the transportation of a sculpture, there are about 80 of these sculptures, I don't limit your specific time, as long as you ship it to me within five days. ”

Hicks said it lightly, as if it wasn't too hard to do.

Roy began to make calculations in his mind after hearing this.

Even if there were eighty sculptures in total, according to Hicks's time, at least sixteen per day, and he and Ainabel would each have to send eight, each with 70 nano copper, that is, they could get 11 nano silver and 20 nano copper in one day.

The standard of living in the imperial capital is much higher than that of Mose Village, and 11 nano silver a day is used by Roy and Ainabel, which is still a little nervous.

Thinking of this, Roy couldn't help but say to Hicks: "Mr. Hicks, go up a little more, 70 nano copper, I believe you will also calculate, I and Ainabel will divide the two people, each person can only get more than 5 nano silver, the living expenses of the imperial capital are so high, how can this money be enough?"

Hicks rolled his eyes and said, "What does it matter to me if you have enough money to live on? You better understand that I am a businessman, not a good person, and I am a shopkeeper, not a good church." If everyone complains to me and bargains, my cost is not so high that it is heavenly?"

“......”

Hicks very decisively discarded his remaining two characters, and he smashed them to pieces!

Refusing to give up, Ainabel hurriedly took out her nirvana, and pleaded pitifully, "Mr. Hicks, please, for Uncle Kenan's sake, just raise it a little more?"

Ainabel's appearance is really pitiful, she is very beautiful herself, coupled with this aggrieved look, anyone who sees it will feel sympathy, right?

But unfortunately, Hicks is not a normal person, he is a businessman......

"Don't pretend to be pitiful to me here, even if you were introduced by Kennan, you have to be a businessman to do business, and you have to be what you are. Friendship is friendship, business is business, there is no need to talk, 70 nano copper, it is already a very good price, you love to do it or not, if you don't do it, I will call someone else. ”

Hicks was very resolute and showed no signs of relenting.

Ainabel was out of choice now, the only way she could think of was to pretend to be pitiful, but now that Hicks was completely ignorant, she had no choice but to look at Roy helplessly.

Roy twitched his cheeks, he didn't expect Hicks to be so difficult here, the advantages that Uncle Kenan said in the letter of introduction this guy is completely all gone.

The appearance of this iron rooster made Roy almost suspect that the 70 nanometers of copper he drove was not a very good price as he said he said was at all......

Uh, could Hicks be deliberately undercutting prices?

At this time, Roy suddenly thought of such a possibility, and then his brain instantly worked.

After recalling every detail from their entry to just now, he raised his head, looked at Hicks and said seriously: "Mr. Hicks, if 70 nano copper is really a very good price, why haven't you found anyone to send it until now?"

Hicks glanced at him and said lightly: "I want to find someone, I can find it at any time, and the reason why I let you do it is just for Kennan's face." ”

"Really? I don't think so, right? Obviously, the price was so low that no one would want to take this job, right? Otherwise, how could this shipment wait for us to deliver? Mr. Hicks, you are not bullying us for being outsiders, so you are deliberately lowering the price, right?"

"And you gave us five days to ship the sculptures, which is easy to say, but I suspect that these five days are actually a deadline, and once the five days have passed, the sculptures will be worthless in your hands. ”

"Even if it's not that exaggerated, they're going to lose a lot more than you have left. ”

"Mr. Hicks, do you want to take a gamble with me? And the bet is probably the value of this shipment, but this bet seems to be very favorable to us. ”

As Roy analyzed word by word, Hicks's expression became slightly unnatural, and Roy was observing Hicks's expression as he spoke.

In fact, Roy can't be sure that his analysis will be correct, so he has to confirm it through Hicks's reaction.

For now, most of Roy's guesses should be correct.

Hicks' cheeks twitched slightly, but he didn't speak immediately, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.

Gradually, Hicks's expression became unnatural, and there was some compromise in his eyes.

Seeing this, Roy couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, it seems that he should have won this negotiation.

But Uncle Kennan, you're really unreliable! Are you the good guy you say? This is a profiteer!
