Chapter Twenty-Nine: Gold Coins and Character
"It seems that Mr. Lawrence does not know the identity of his companion. Pen ~ fun ~ www.biquge.info pavilion" Lynch said with a smile as he handed Lawrence a glass of fruit wine.
"Thank you, Lord Lynch, you're so kind, just call me Lawrence. "Lawrence really needs a drink right now to suppress the freak.
Today he was really frightened.
"But, Mr. Lawrence, you are really bold, you are still doing business with Miss Harrow when you are speculating that she is an orc, don't you worry about being discovered?"
"She told me, but I didn't believe it. I just thought ......" Lawrence drank the wine in his glass, not knowing what to say.
Of course he was scared at first, for the Orc Empire, almost everyone was raised from childhood, extremely evil, extremely evil, and the worst enemy of mankind.
He wanted to run for his life, he wanted to ask for help.
But the feeling of being alone in the ice and snow made him unforgettable.
And so it became what it is today.
Although he was worried and afraid, Helo was already a special person for Lawrence, even if he took this risk and often scared himself, he didn't want anything to happen to Helo.
"Without mentioning that, can Mr. Lawrence tell me something about business? I'm very interested in the profession of trade. Lynch filled his wine and continued.
"Doing business is not fun, it is full of dangers. Lawrence said with a sigh.
Although he is only in his early twenties, he has a lot of experience and is considered a well-informed person in this world.
"Since I couldn't cultivate, I came out to be a merchant very early. ”
"The membership fee paid to the Chamber of Commerce was obtained by accident. ”
Probably a relaxation after a high degree of mental tension, Lawrence told a lot of things about his own adventures, he was born in the small burgher class, and the formation of the city was accompanied by the groups that served the city, these groups included peasants who lost their land, small nobles who lost their inheritance rights, etc., and most of the adventurers on the mainland came from the urban class.
They only have military force, and they are reluctant to join the army, hoping to gain wealth and status through risk.
As for those like Lawrence, who are not strong enough, have no skills, and are unwilling to do coolies, they can only come out on their own.
It's worth it.
Lynch listened quietly, although Lawrence was not a big businessman, he was smart and studious, and he had his own views on guilds and business.
"Sorry, I lost my temper. Lawrence found that he unconsciously said to Lynch a lot of things that had been hidden in his heart before, and immediately felt that he had lost his words, how could a businessman say what was in his heart, even if it didn't matter.
You can't drink too much in the future, Lawrence secretly warned himself.
"It's nothing, Mr. Lawrence is a very talented man. A lot of the ideas are very good," Lynch genuinely praised, for example, Lawrence suggested that full-time merchants served the great nobles, and on the surface the great nobles made amazing profits through monopoly trade, but in fact many merchants would enrich themselves in private agreements.
If the great nobles also monopolize trade, but hire a few more merchants to serve themselves, and take advantage of the suspicion among the merchants, they can increase their profits.
Mistress Lynch laughed, but it was just gibberish. Lawrence just said a few more words after just three cups of yellow soup, but he was not naïve.
"By the way, Mr. Lawrence is here to buy or sell something this time?" Since Lawrence was unwilling to continue the conversation, Lynch naturally did not dwell on it, but asked the other party what he was going to sell this time.
"It's both buying and selling something. Lawrence hesitated, although Lynch seemed to have some prestige and respect in the Toposso Territory, but he didn't look like the ruler of the Topso Territory, but a bit like a hired scholar.
Lawrence took a bit of a risk this time.
As a natural elf, Harrow has a strong sense of perception, and through the hope qi, Harrow tells Lawrence that the tide of monsters that attacked the Toposo Territory has disappeared, and it should have been defeated by the Toposo Territory.
After learning the news, Lawrence believed that the current shortage of drugs and other supplies in the Toposso Territory was quite profitable.
So he paid to replace the merchant who had come to Toposo, and came with the goods he had purchased.
Hearing Lawrence's words a little unclear, Lynch understood that he had asked what he shouldn't ask, after all, this is a businessman's secret, and if he tells himself too clearly, sometimes it will be difficult to negotiate the price.
"Actually, I just wanted to see if Mr. Lawrence had brought some of the small items I needed, and a few gold coins that I wanted to exchange for silver with Mr. Lawrence. As he spoke, Lynch took out three gold coins.
Even though Lynch now has a high income of 1,000 gold coins a year, what he can do now is the ten gold coins that the Baron gave at the beginning.
"I see, Lord Lynch, I'm sorry. When Lawrence saw Lynch take out the gold coin, he felt that he had misunderstood Lynch just now, and quickly apologized.
With that, Lawrence took out a small scale.
A big question mark appeared on Lynch's forehead.
Generally speaking, isn't one gold coin exchanged for a hundred silver coins?
What are you doing with the scale?
"I'm sorry, Lord Lynch, but in my experience, this gold coin should have been made by Toposol himself, not by the Imperial Mint. "Lawrence has been in business for a long time, and he has an extremely vicious eye for money.
What? Why are you so calm, Lawrence?
Making money privately and printing counterfeit money is a very serious crime in Lynch's mind, probably a murderous business, and now seeing Lawrence say it for granted, it makes Lynch feel that he knows too little about the world.
"Toposo's gold coins are of high fineness and are not deliberately adulterated with other metals, but there are some problems with the minting technique, resulting in an unstable center of gravity and some minor flaws. In business, Lawrence did not abandon the rules of his business just because Lynch pulled it this time.
"Wait, you mean the center of gravity is unstable?" Lynch didn't hear anything else, but he heard this sentence clearly, and his face instantly became ugly.
"Yes, this coin is supposed to have been minted rather than forged, and due to a casting mold or other problem, bubbles may have been created that could have shifted the center of gravity. Lawrence speculated.
No, that's not the point.
Lynch picked up a coin and tossed it ten times in a row, with the result that all but one was heads and all nine times were tails.
Tears flowed down my face, it turned out that it wasn't my bad character, but that there was something wrong with the coin itself.
(Kaos, you know there's something wrong with this coin, why don't you just say it?) Knowing that questioning is useless, this time Lynch couldn't help but ask, this is really too pitiful, if Lynch keeps betting on heads, don't even think about winning if you lose all your pants.
(Guessing heads and tails doesn't affect the fairness of the game until the host doesn't know the probability of the coin itself.) Kaos fully shows that there is no bottom line for what is called shamelessness, and Lynch has to learn hard from the system to have a place in this world.
(No, guess the heads and tails of a coin, the basic default rule is 50% probability, even if there is a certain amount of fluctuation, if it is such a seriously problematic coin, at least explain it in advance, I hope to be compensated.) Lynch still remembers that he sophisified that the chrysanthemum was positive, and then the system said that according to the default rules, why didn't he recognize it now?
(Actually, I'm also for the good of the host, it's been tails several times in a row, I think it's easy to infer that the coin is problematic with the host's IQ, so as to guess that the next coin is tails, and from the perspective of the number of times, the success rate of the host's guess is higher than that of a normal coin, so I chose to conceal it.) If the shamelessness of the previous system, Lynch can give full marks, and now this kind of pit is also a good rhetoric for you, and the shamelessness directly breaks through the sky.
(No, the estimation of probability is based on the basis of sufficient times, and several times in a row are negatives, and on the basis of insufficient times, it is not suitable for estimating probability, and the basis of your argument is wrong.) Originally, Lynch was not going to talk so much about the system, and he already knew that the system was pitting people, but this time he was really angry.
The thought of failing to gamble is death.
It turned out that the system was indirectly out of the thousands, how could Lynch not be angry.
Kaos was silent.
