Chapter XXIV

The price of yarn is going to rise by 30%!?

Even if Rocky had known about this for a long time, he still gasped when he heard the increase of thirty percent, because this increase not only far exceeded his expectations, but also directly exceeded the limit that Thunder Eagle City could bear!

And such a high price increase disrupted his original plan at once.

According to his original plan, he hoped to sell all the medium-sized magic stones found in the institute, and then use the income to offset the increase in yarn prices, so as to maintain the balance of payments this quarter.

According to Rocky's rough scruples, if he sells all the magic stones in his hand, then he can earn at least 2,000 gold coins, and Thunder Eagle City spends about 20,000 gold coins on yarn every quarter, which means that even if the price of yarn rises by a full 10%, he can still balance it by selling the income of the magic stones, and then reduce the pressure on Thunder Eagle City's finances.

But he never expected that the Azure Chamber of Commerce would suddenly increase the price of yarn by as much as thirty percent! This means that Thunder Eagle City only needed to spend 20,000 gold coins to buy yarn, but this time it cost 26,000 gold coins!

That's an extra 6,000 gold coins!

With so much money, let alone selling a few magic stones, even if you buy Rocky, it won't be enough!

So after Jassy's words ended, Rocky couldn't help frowning, and his face became more and more ugly.

"Mr. Jassy, why has the price of yarn gone up so much?"

When Rocky's brows furrowed, Erin, who was standing beside him after bringing Jasy here, opened her mouth, Erin's identity is the treasurer of Thunderhawk City, and she should be in charge of negotiating such a thing as the Root Chamber of Commerce.

"Lord of the City, in this matter, our Chamber of Commerce is also forced to do so. ”

After glancing at Erin, an innocent expression appeared on Jasy's face, and then he said to Rocky: "Your Excellency may have heard that there has been a war in Blue Wolf City recently, and the materials in the whole city have been controlled. ”

"It's not a secret, this time the Chamber of Commerce spent a lot of effort in order to be able to transport the yarn on time in the Blue Wolf City, so Lord City, this price is really not something we can control. ”

In the face of Rocky, Jassy looked innocent, but his words sounded reasonable, but when he thought about it, it was all nonsense.

It is true that the Blue Wolf City is at war, but even if it is necessary to control the materials because of the war, it is impossible to control the materials such as yarn, and the yarn is not a strategic material;

This is obviously even more impossible.

So the war may have really led to the rise in yarn prices, but it is absolutely impossible to increase the price so much, in the final analysis, it is the Teal Chamber of Commerce that is using the war as an excuse to deliberately raise the price!

Erin knew this best, so she spoke again: "Chief Jassy, we have indeed heard of the war in Blue Wolf City, but the price is too high, and we really can't accept it. ”

"Miss Erin, this kind of thing is not something that our Chamber of Commerce can decide, and we have no choice but to ......"

Since then, there has been a verbal exchange between Erin and Jassy, and the two of them have been arguing back and forth over the price increase.

Rocky, meanwhile, didn't say a word, he sat quietly in the castle lord's seat, as if he had become a bystander.

As the lord of Thunderhawk City, bargaining was not something he should do, he just had to wait until Erin and Jassy came up with a result, and then nodded or shook his head.

In the process of watching, Rocky also had a deeper impression of Erin, a girl who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, so he had to secretly pick a thumbs up.

Despite Irene's young age, she was not timid at all in the negotiation process, and was very skillful, not wasting time on whether the price should go up from the beginning, but haggling over the magnitude of the increase, which was done very wisely.

Because judging from Jassy's performance, the Azure Chamber of Commerce will inevitably increase the price of yarn this time, so Erin no longer wastes time on this matter, but directly focuses on the magnitude of the rise, hoping to suppress the magnitude of the rise.

Obviously, she had a goal in mind for this negotiation, and it was very clear.

It's just that Erin's opponent is not a good person, Jassy is definitely a cunning businessman, not only impeccable in negotiation skills, but also firmly grasps a key point, that is, between the Azure Chamber of Commerce and Thunder Eagle City, the Azure Chamber of Commerce is the strong side, and Thunder Eagle City must buy yarn and food from them!

It is precisely this key point that is grasped, so no matter how hard Erin tries, Jassy just refuses to back down half a step.

"Mr. Jassy, half percent, the price increase of yarn is half the limit of what we can accept. ”

Erin looked at Jacy with a frown, and said the bottom line that Thunder Eagle City could accept.

It's just that although she said this, she didn't tell the truth, because as far as she knew, the bottom line of Rocky's acceptance was one percent, which meant that she still left Jasy room to bargain.

This is the skill of negotiation, negotiation is not to fight, but to let, you let me take a step, I let you take a step, so that there is a talk, Erin obviously understands this truth.

It's a pity that after she finished speaking, Jassy shook her head directly: "City Lord, Miss Erin, raising the price of yarn by 30% is already the bottom line of our Chamber of Commerce, I really can't help it." ”

"Chief Jassy!"

Jassy's attitude made Erin really can't help it, she never expected that the other party would not let go, this is obviously an attitude that she doesn't want to talk about!

"Okay......"

Just as Erin was about to speak again, Rocky, who had never spoken, suddenly spoke, only to see him look at Erin, signal her not to continue, and then look at Jassy.

"Boss Jassy has been tired all the way, so let's get here today. ”

After saying this, Rocky said to Erin, "Erin, you send Jasy to rest, don't be lazy." ”

"Yes......"

With a word of agreement, Erin and Jassie left the City Lord's Hall together.

Watching the two leave, waiting until the door of the city lord's hall was closed, Rocky sighed,

He deliberately stopped the negotiations, because he had already seen that Erin was already a little helpless in the face of Jassie, who was willing to let go of life and death, so he would let Jassy rest at this time, so that Erin could have a time to relieve and go back and think about how to deal with the other party.

It's just that Rocky knows in her heart that even if she asks Erin to go back and find a way, she may not be able to think of any good countermeasures, the reason is very simple, Thunderhawk City has too few chips.

Even if Erin is skilled in negotiation, it is impossible to make Jassy loose if she does not have enough chips in her hand, and Jassy knows this precisely because she does not back down.

This is the situation in Thunder Eagle City right now.

In this case, Rocky felt that he should do something else......

............

............

"Steward, this matter...... Is it really non-negotiable?"

On the way to send Jasy out of the City Lord's Mansion, Erin continued to work hard, but at this time she was no longer as aggressive as she was just now, and it looked like she was chatting with Jassy.

"Chief Jasi, you also know that Thunder Eagle City is not a big city, and the price of yarn has risen so much at once, I'm afraid that the city lord won't be able to accept it, so I also ask the chief manager to help say a few good words to the Chamber of Commerce, if this matter can really be discussed, the city lord will definitely not treat the chief manager badly." ”

Now that it's private, Erin has to say something that can only be said in private, such as talking about some personal benefits.

But Jassy, who heard her words, shook her head and smiled: "Miss Irene, just let the carriage take me directly back to the port, I am still used to living on a merchant ship." ”

Looking at Erin, Jassy completely ignored Erin's meaning.

"This ...... Well......"

Jassy's attitude made Erin frown, could it be that this Jassy in front of her was really not selfish at all?

Or is it ...... Does he have other plans, or does he simply want to get more benefits and play with himself?

Unsure what Jasy was thinking, Erin didn't say much rashly, and then left the City Lord's Mansion with him.

It's just that when he left the city lord and Jasy was about to get into the carriage, he suddenly turned his head and said to Erin:

"Miss Irene, if you ......"

In the middle of speaking, Jassy grabbed Erin's hand and gently stroked the back of her hand as she continued:

"If you really want to talk to me, you can go back to the merchant ship with me and talk to ......

"Boss Jasy, please respect yourself!"

Jassie's action startled Erin, who immediately wrenched her hand from the palm of her hand like a frightened rabbit, and then glared at Jassie viciously.

"Mr. Jassy, what are you doing here!"

Staring at Jacy fiercely, Erin was so angry that tears were about to fall, where had she ever encountered such a thing.

However, in the face of her angry gaze, Jasy had an indifferent expression, and said to her while getting into the carriage: "Miss Irene, the price of yarn is not negotiable, when have you figured it out, when can you come to me." ”

With that, he closed the door of the carriage and drove away......
