Fifty percent! This number was completely unacceptable to Ender, who was doing business, so he immediately shook his head sharply and showed his attitude. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"No, it's absolutely not going to work. Fifty percent is too low, almost all of them are lower than the price at any time in previous years. Such a number, I can't even go back to explain. ”

"I'd be sorry if you couldn't. Still, Ender. I don't think the chambers of commerce in those kingdoms think so. ”

Raising his eyebrows, Hiko smiled very subtly. Seeing his subtle smile, Ender had a feeling of nausea like eating a fly.

He never imagined that this trade route, which had always been controlled by the empire, was now actually intervened by the people of the kingdom on the other side of the continent. And what he didn't expect was that Hiko, who had already cooperated many times, actually pulled out the opponent of the kingdom at this time. This made him grit his teeth, but in the end, he pulled out a stiff smile and said to Hiko.

"Are you joking with me? Mr. Hiko, if so, then I have to admit that your joke was successful. ”

"Unfortunately, this is not a joke. If you know enough about the situation in the kingdom, then I think you should be familiar with the name of the Kingdom Seagull Chamber of Commerce. ”

Naturally, Ender is no stranger to this name. This is the largest chamber of commerce in the kingdom, and it is also a chamber of commerce directly linked to the kingdom's military. Because of the support of the kingdom's military, this chamber of commerce has always taken a very tough attitude against them, not only destroying several of their big businesses by means of shady damage, but also relying on military victories to snatch a lot of goods from their hands. Now, if this group of guys robbed the Nords of this source of goods, then he couldn't imagine what kind of blow their chamber of commerce would suffer.

So even if he didn't want to, Ander honestly chose to knock out his teeth and swallow it in his mouth, and accepted the conditions offered by Hiko.

"Mr. Yan, I am willing to accept this offer on behalf of our Imperial Free Trade Association, but we also have certain requirements. ”

"Request?" Upon hearing this, Hiko's eyes immediately narrowed. "Tell me, Mr. Ender. What kind of request do you want to make. ”

"It's simple. I want you Nords to stop trading with the people of the kingdom. And as a price to pay for this condition, we can maintain this offer for the rest of the future. ”

In order to prevent the people of the kingdom from snatching this trade route, Ander also gave up. He offered almost the biggest condition he could, and even more than that. And his purpose is very simple, that is, he hopes that Yan can sign the corresponding agreement on behalf of the Nord people and him. Keep the people of the kingdom out of Arestes once and for all.

It has to be said that in order to achieve this purpose. Ender made a huge, almost unimaginable offer. And for this offer, even Hiko can't help but look sideways. However, he did not agree to this, but said to him tentatively according to the habits of his previous life.

"Mr. Ender. You should know that your status is the same. There's no reason for me to kick my other customer away because of you, it's not in order, is it?"

Gritting his teeth, Ender immediately added.

"We still have a shipload of slaves in the harbor near the town of North Wind. Five hundred! If you nod your head, this ship of slaves is yours. ”

This is a real big deal, and in this case, even Hiko has no other ideas.

"Very well, I think there should be a consensus between us. Then it's decided, I'll decline the deal from the kingdom. In the meantime, when you unload the cargo from the merchant ship into the port, I will send someone to take stock and complete our transaction. ”

The watertight arrangement made Ander involuntarily smile wryly, but he still honestly took out a contract, signed his name, and placed it in front of Hiko. Looking at the contents of the contract that had been modified and added by him, Hiko smiled slightly and signed his name.

"Nice to work with, Mr. Ender. Seriously, you're the best customer I've ever met!"

"Nice to work with, Mr. Hiko. You're the toughest opponent I've ever seen!"

After shaking hands, Ender, with an ugly face, left the warehouse. At this time, the old shaman, who had been acting as a bystander with his eyes closed, asked.

"Is that really good? to reject the kingdom for the sake of such a deal. ”

"There's nothing bad about it, and it's not the first time we've dealt with the kingdom. Seriously, I'd rather talk to the Imperials than to deal with these aggressive guys who want to threaten with force at every turn. At the very least, they have a sense of business, and they can also lower the price. ”

Shaking his head, Hiko explained his thoughts to the old shaman. At this time, the dome said dissatisfiedly.

"I'm afraid the last one is your most important reason. ”

"I don't deny it, after all, that's business. Maximizing the benefits with the least price is probably what any smart person would do. ”

After two snorts, the dome was silent. Hiko, on the other hand, stopped talking to her, and continued to wait for a new guest to come to the door. Soon, the last guests arrived.

Halflings and elves, and more than just elves of one race. In addition to his regular customers, the High Elves from the Resting Forest, there is also a team of Ash Elves from the Quiet Wilderness.

Despite the similarity in the names of the places where these two elven races live, they still share a common ancestor and civilization even technically. But in fact, they are inseparable from each other, and they are absolutely mortal enemies. The reason for this is that it goes back to the heyday of the Elven Empire, and the stupid mistakes made by the upper elves in the center.

At that time, there was no such thing as an ash elf, and the so-called ash elves were just a branch of the high elves, and they were a branch that was specifically responsible for warfare and border guards. Because of some dirty reasons, when facing a terrible enemy. The High Elves of the Central Dynasty chose to abandon the ancestors of the Ash Elves who were fighting on the frontier, and swept the entire frontier of their realm with the uncontrollable celestial ray magic that the elves had mastered at the time.

As a result, their enemies were naturally destroyed. But it also created a new enemy for himself. Thanks to the efforts of some elves, most of the elves in the frontier region survived. However, the surviving elves have undergone irreversible changes in physiology due to celestial rays. They possess dark skin, scarlet eyes, and a natural source of scorching energy.

Because they were born from the ashes of the border city, they called themselves the Ash Elves, and completely split from the Elven Empire. This caused the Elven Empire, which had lost nearly a third of its territory at once, to suffer a heavy blow, and this also led to the rise of the human era.

Since then, the Ash Elves and the High Elves have formed a deep hatred. The Ash Elves hate the High Elves for their betrayal, and the High Elves hate these traitors for making their glory a thing of the past. For thousands of years, these two elven races have been fighting each other openly and secretly, even in the shopping mall.

However, in the territory of the Nords, they have converged a lot. At least in front of Hiko, they didn't fight.

But when you think about it, it's the smartest thing they should do. After all, the Nords are not easy to mess with, especially for elves who are good at magic.

A mage who has not dealt with the Nords will not understand the despair. When most of your means are as fragile as a piece of paper in front of these muscular brutes, you can simply question your own life. So if any mage wanted to see a trace of a Nord in their opponent's hands, it would be a terrible experience.

In order not to leave any bad memories in their memories, both elves were quite restrained in ignoring each other's existence, and after Hiko and the halfling negotiated the price, Soros Lin Ge from the high elves was the first to speak.

"Good day, Your Excellency. We're here to trade with you as you always do. ”

"I know, I know. According to our previous rules, I have prepared the wood and herbs you need. Pay with one hand, deliver with the other. As always, as soon as our people confirm that your goods are in storage, we will be able to hand over what you want right away. ”

You don't need to talk about business with elves. Make a rule and they'll follow it meticulously. In this way, the two sides negotiated a little and completed the transaction directly.

And after the high elves left, the leader of the ash elves, a female elf who looked quite beautiful, opened her mouth and said with a look of disdain.

"Finally left. What a disgusting bunch of guys who go with a rotten stench everywhere they go. ”

Perhaps it was the reason that the soldiers among the elves used to be, and these ash elves always spoke straight. So on the other hand, it is different from those high elves who are always immersed in the glory of the past, and always have a proud appearance in their words and actions. The Ash Elves always seem to be much stronger and wilder. And this is exactly what the Nords are like.

So at that moment, Hiko asked the ash elf in front of him with a smile.

"If I'm not mistaken, you're probably visiting Northwind in Areste for the first time for this annual deal. Let me introduce myself, I'm Hiko. Head of trading on the Nord side. If you want to talk about business, I can represent Nord with full powers. ”

"Of course, I'm here to talk about business. I'll introduce myself, I'm Evan Shadowfire, part of the Ash Elves' Ranger Force. ”

The ash elf, full of wild beauty, smiled and reported his origin.
