Chapter 587: The Second Highness's Handwritten Message
Chapter 587 The Second Highness's Edict
How can people be so brazen!Especially as the emperor of the empire, he would treat what he said as a fart, Marquis Crilos trembled with anger with the edict sent by the Second Highness, it was obvious that the Second Highness once again refreshed the shameless limit that the Marquis of Crilos knew, this father and son are both superb.......
In July, the Norton family significantly increased the purchase price of raw materials and mineral resources at its Lingang bazaar, almost one-third higher than the original purchase price. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The Marquis of Info Crelos did not hesitate to order the Antario Chamber of Commerce to follow up. But then the Norton family raised the purchase price again until it doubled the purchase price.
The Antario Chamber of Commerce is already difficult to ride a tiger, and the Marquis of Crylos has a hard time, and at the current purchase price to acquire raw materials and mineral resources, not only is there no profit at all, but it has also become a greater loss the more it is acquired, how to say that a caravan with a huge fleet of thousands of people, starting from the imperial capital to the business alliance, the cost of coming and going is not a small amount, and the Marquis of Crilos found that the caravan will lose about seventy or eighty thousand gold fords when it goes to the Chamber of Commerce.
If it was the original purchase price, that trip could have earned four or five hundred thousand. But the purchase price has doubled, and the transportation of raw materials and mineral resources worth hundreds of thousands and nearly millions to the business alliance has not only not made money, but has to pay the transportation costs upside down, and it is not a small expense for people to eat and chew on this way, especially when passing through the Peterson Kingdom, even if the Peterson Kingdom has released the materials transported by the caravan all the way, but the normal customs fees to be paid also make the Marquis of Crilos feel distressed, and most of the cost of the loss must be counted in this regard.
If it's another chamber of commerce, it's a big deal and don't do a loss-making business. But the Marquis of Crilos can't, he knows very well how important these raw materials and mineral resources acquired from the empire are to the revival of the commercial alliance, who called the current land resources of the commercial alliance is poor, with these raw materials and materials transported by the caravan, the commercial alliance can create more exquisite goods to compete for the market, with the iron ore and other metal ores transported from the past, the commercial alliance can create sharper weapons and stronger armor to rearmament......
Another method is that the wool comes out of the sheep, and since the purchase price is high, the selling price is also increased accordingly, ensuring that the profit will not be reduced. The business alliance is in urgent need of supplies for this trade route, so even if it is a high price, it can only reluctantly accept it. But the Marquis of Crilos could not do this, he knew very well how much confusion would be caused to the Archduke of Cumberlet if the price was raised, and it would also add more trouble to the various forces of the Complet's integration of the commercial alliance. After all, the current business alliance is not the same as before, and there are not many gold coins in the vault......
So the Marquis of Crilos decided to deal with this purchase price war with the Norton family by himself, he went to meet with the Second Highness, hoping that the Second Highness would come forward and convene the business leaders of the Norton family to negotiate with him, the best way is to divide the territory, and the Lingang Bazaar and the Antillio Chamber of Commerce are each responsible for the purchase of materials in several provinces, without interfering with each other, everyone has money to make, which is a win-win compromise and a good way.
The Marquis of Crilos believes that His Royal Highness has sent an invitation to negotiate in his capacity as the Emperor, and will be the mediator of the purchase price war between the Antitario Chamber of Commerce and the Norton family, and the Norton family should give this face, and besides, His Royal Highness has also invested 800,000 gold fords in the Antitario Chamber of Commerce, which is a matter of interests, and the Second Highness should favor the Antario Chamber of Commerce, and will let the Antario Chamber of Commerce take some advantage in the negotiation of dividing the territory.
It's just that the Marquis of Crilos didn't expect His Royal Highness to take care of this matter in a big way, and he said to the Marquis of Crilos very confidently: "I'll help you solve the little thing." As long as I have one meeting with Lorlist, there is no problem. ”
Lorist is the name of the head of the Norton family, the Grand Duke of the Northlands, and the Sword Saint of the Town Kingdom, and the Marquis of Crylos knows that this is the biggest enemy of the Business Alliance, and the culprit of the Business Alliance's fall to the current situation. However, the Marquis of Crylos was curious why His Royal Highness was so sure?
His Royal Highness proudly told the Marquis of Crilos that he should not look at Lorist as a sword saint of the town country, but he has one of his biggest weaknesses, that is, he is soft-hearted and has a good face. Although I had some conflicts with him last year, as long as I met with him now, put down the shelf and say a few good words, and softened in front of him, I promised that Lorist would respond to his requests, and as long as I pleaded a few words for a small matter like the purchase price war, Lorist would definitely not be able to agree.
Now there was an opportunity, the Duke of Kenmax invited the nobles of the empire to his family domain Platinum Beach for a summer vacation, and hearing that the Grand Duke of Norton would also be there with his family, His Royal Highness decided to tell the Duke of Kenmax that he would also be there, and then meet with Lorist at Platinum Beach. In this way, the purchase price war that the Marquis of Crilos was worried about can be quietly solved, and the second highness will not feel ashamed to talk to Lorist in private, no matter how much he talks about him as the emperor.
So the Marquis of Crelos confidently waited for the Second Highness to bring him good news, but more than a month passed, and waited for the Second Highness to send this edict, which said that he had done his best, but the Grand Duke of Norton avoided it, and he chased several places in a row, and as a result, the Grand Duke of Norton left the family territory and ran to the city of Morent, so he could not do anything.
His Royal Highness said in his edict that he was very angry and despised by Archduke Norton for this way of evasion, so he pinned his hopes on the Antitario Chamber of Commerce to defeat the Norton family in the business war under the guidance of Young Master Selig, and he would wholeheartedly support the Antitario Chamber of Commerce. However, at the same time, His Royal Highness reminded Young Master Selig that because he supported the Antitario Chamber of Commerce to set up an acquisition point in Liushuichuan to intercept the aristocratic caravans that went to the Lingang Market to trade, so as to damage the income of the one million Jinfu that His Royal Highness could share every year in his Lingang Bazaar, so this year's one million income could only fall on the Ontario Chamber of Commerce......
In addition, His Royal Highness once again emphasized the large amount of money he had invested in the Antario Chamber of Commerce, and he allocated 800,000 gold fords to the Antario Chamber of Commerce from the Imperial Family's Inner Treasury, so that the Antitario Chamber of Commerce could have the funds to purchase the raw materials and mineral resources produced by the imperial nobles. His Royal Highness believes that if the 800,000 funds are handed over to the Norton family to operate, it is normal to earn a million gold fortunes, not to mention doubling the investment income. Considering that the Antitario Chamber of Commerce has just established itself in the imperial capital and is difficult to operate, His Royal Highness does not aspire to have the same performance as the Norton family, as long as the Antario Chamber of Commerce can earn him five or six hundred thousand gold merits......
How can people be so brazen? Marquis Crilos would really want to rush into the palace and smack His Royal Highness in the face, why should he pass on the proceeds of the Grand Market of Qilin Port to the Ontario Chamber of Commerce? But the Marquis of Crilos also knew in his heart that he couldn't argue clearly with the Second Highness on this matter, if it wasn't for him instigating the Second Highness to let the Antitario Chamber of Commerce set up an acquisition point in the Liushui River to intercept the caravan of the imperial nobles, then the Second Highness's annual dividend of one million goldfords is real, even if the Grand Duke of Norton and the Second Highness have a conflict, but the income of this million dividends will still be handed over to the Second Highness.
Now because of the Antario Chamber of Commerce's sideways, it is unprofitable to double the purchase price, and His Royal Highness has lost the dividend income of the Lingang Bazaar Market, which naturally hangs on the head of the Antario Chamber of Commerce. Although His Royal Highness supported the Antario Chamber of Commerce to set up an acquisition point in Liushuichuan to give the Norton family a good look, but it involved a dividend income of one million goldfords, and His Royal Highness didn't mind turning his face with the Antitario Chamber of Commerce, so the Marquis of Crilos was saddled with a debt of one million......
Well, the Marquis de Crilos, the so-called dividend income of this million, can only admit it, if it is not for the doubling of the purchase price, the trade with the business alliance does not have the slightest pressure on this million, but now the Antario Chamber of Commerce is maintaining the trade route at a loss, and this million will take the life of the Antario Chamber of Commerce, maybe the Chamber of Commerce will go bankrupt and go bankrupt......
Also, what is the matter with the investment of 800,000 gold fords asking for a return of 5 or 600,000 yuan in profits? Investment and investment, doing business is inherently risky, and it is normal to have profits and losses, so how can there be a reason to force profits? Compared with the Norton family, I don't want to think about it, even if His Royal Highness sends him to the door to invest, the Norton family guarantees that they will not give face to accept it, but will directly refuse it.
With a dividend income of one million and a profit of 500,000 yuan, His Royal Highness has already clearly requested the Atario Chamber of Commerce to hand over 1.5 million gold fords by the end of this year. It's already October, and it's only two months until the end of the year, where did the Marquis of Crilos get so many goldfords to hand over to His Second Highness......
This will make the Marquis of Crelos already think about whether he should leave, but thinking that it took so much to get close to the Second Highness and initially gain his trust, how can he take revenge if he leaves like this? Just let the Second Highness lose 1.5 million gold fords and make his heart ache for a while, can it be regarded as revenge? Thinking about the physical and mental pain that the Second Highness gave him, the Marquis of Crelos is really unwilling......
The door of the study was knocked gently, and the Marquis of Crilos knew that only his cronies could do this, so he packed up his hand, and the Marquis of Crilos said, "Come in." ”
It was the guard on duty today, who came in, and he brought a letter to the Marquis of Crilos, and when he unfolded it, it was just a very ordinary letter asking about the price of goods, and some letters from nobles like this to the Chamber of Commerce asking about sales and purchase prices were received several times a day, but the seal on the letter paper of this letter was vaguely a double-headed dragon. The Marquis of Crilos asked the guards to bring a glass of milk, took a sip and sprayed it on the letterhead, and then placed the wet letterhead in front of the candle flame to bake.
Soon, a line of dark blue letters reappeared on the letterhead, and when the letter was dried, it disappeared again. But the Marquis of Crilos had memorized the line, and after a moment of contemplation, he commanded, "Prepare the carriage, I will go out." ”
Seven days later, the carriage of the Marquis of Crilos arrived in the province of Marivia, where there was a manor built by the nobles of the territory of the commercial alliance more than ten years ago, and the manor was abandoned after the Marivian province returned to the territory of the Cresian Empire, but after the establishment of the Antitario Chamber of Commerce, it cost very little money to buy this abandoned manor, and after renovation, it became the last caravan of the Antario Chamber of Commerce to stop and rest in the empire on the trade road to the commercial alliance.
The long-distance travel of seven days and seven nights made the Marquis of Crilos extremely unbearable, and the Marquis of Crilos, who was helped out of the carriage, was like a puddle of mud, and after bathing and changing dressings under the clothes of two personal maids, he rested for two days, and the Marquis of Crilos regained some energy.
Another day later, a black carriage without any markings galloped into the gate of the manor, and out of the carriage was a masked black-robed man dressed like the Marquis of Crelos, who had been waiting for a long time, and the guards sent him directly into the study without checking his identity.
When the black-robed man with a masked face took off his robe in the study, the Marquis of Crelos stood up in surprise: "Your Highness, why are you here?"
No one expected that the supreme consul of the Business Alliance, the Grand Duke of Cumberlet, would appear in an ordinary manor in Marivia, the border province of the New Krisson Empire, no wonder the Marquis of Crylos would be surprised.
"Isn't that strange? My brother, it's been a long time. Archduke Cumberlet smiled heartily, stepped forward and gently hugged the Marquis of Crilos. However, he was well aware of the trauma on the Marquis de Crilos, and was very careful when hugging.
"I, I thought you had sent someone else to consult with me, but what had happened for you to come in person, could there be something wrong with the deal between us?" asked the Marquis of Crilos, a little nervously.
"No, there is no problem with the trade, my brother, and the trade route you have opened up has helped me a lot. Although we have restored peace with the countries of the central and southern regions, the countries of the central and southern regions are still prejudiced against our business alliances and consciously or unconsciously resist us, especially on important resources such as iron ore that have stuck our necks. Now you have opened up this trade route, bringing us those key raw materials and mineral resources, so that we can recover and rearm, and at the same time start the production of some other goods besides glass......"
Archduke Cumberlet looked at the Marquis of Crelos and said with emotion: "My brother, the current state of the business alliance is very good, you don't have to worry, but why don't you tell us when you are in trouble, we didn't understand until now, you have been operating at a loss in order to maintain this trade route, why didn't you let us know about such a big event earlier? You should understand the importance of this trade route to our business alliance, if you lose this purchase price war with the Norton family, then this trade route will not be able to be maintained." ”
Marquis Crilos smiled bitterly and said, "Although it is a loss to maintain this trade route, I don't really care. If you lose something else, you can make up for it. But now my trouble is this ......"
The Marquis of Crelos took out the edict of His Royal Highness II: "I have never seen such a brazen person, and he is also the emperor of the empire. At that time, he encouraged me to trouble the Norton family, and pledged his support for our Antigolio Chamber of Commerce. But in a blink of an eye, he turned his face and forced me to ask for Jinford, one and a half million, it's really hard for him to say it......"
Archduke Cumberlet took the edict and looked at it, thought for a while and laughed: "It's okay, I brought you something, you take it back to show this greedy emperor, and promise that he will not ask you for Jinford again." ”
