Chapter 55: Dorok (2)
The price was about 1,000 less than the normal price, but he didn't care, his heart began to become overconfident after a series of successes, he felt that it was his excellent eloquence bargaining, but he was complacent. For this transaction, Franner immediately took out all his savings and borrowed a thousand gold coins at a high interest rate to sign the contract for the purchase of the ship.
Franner had a huge business plan in mind, and every detail of the plan was conceived perfectly. As soon as the ship was in hand, he immediately took the sailors he had already hired to ship a batch of goods on credit in the Free Paradise to Seabreeze City, and after selling there, he bought the goods that had been brought in to the north on the spot and transported them back to the Free Paradise. This came and went in just a few days, and the profit was at least three thousand gold coins, enough to pay the gold coins borrowed and the high interest.
After this was done, Franner was able to carry out the golden route of Sea Breeze - Sunrise without any worries, running twice a month, and more than half a million gold coins were credited in a year. The gold would be used to buy new merchant ships, and the business would grow bigger and bigger, and perhaps within twenty years, he would be able to win the competition.
Unfortunately, good intentions are always the opposite of what is shown, and when Flanner went the next day with the contract and led the sailors to receive the merchant ships, he was told by the director of the Chamber of Commerce that the Chamber of Commerce did not have Sami at all, and the Chamber of Commerce could not sell the merchant ships during the golden time of shipping, the Spring Festival.
After spending 9,000 gold coins, but buying a piece of waste paper, Franner realized that everything was a game. And just like that, Franner went bankrupt.
By the time Franner realized that he had been deceived, he could no longer find the supervisor named Sammy, but the group of guys who lent him money could find him, and Franner had no choice but to hide in Tibet, and finally had the opening scene.
After ten full days of miserable life, Franner has already figured out the whole story of this scam, and many inconspicuous places have gradually recalled and found out the flaws, but unfortunately everything is irreparable.
Flanner thought about it, and speculated that all of this should be one of his competitors, after a clever plan to lay a trap, but it was a pity that he himself was dazed at that time, so he stepped into it, not only did he lose a large amount of money that he had worked so hard to accumulate, but also owed a debt that he could not afford to pay off in a short time, if it weren't for Ryan, he would have been put in a gold mine now, and he would have been a coolie for the rest of his life.
After saying this, Franner leisurely concluded: "This incident has made me understand a truth, that is, when you are doing something, and the whole process is extremely smooth, so smooth that you yourself feel incredible, thinking that you are favored by the goddess of luck, that is when you have completely stepped into the trap of the opponent, and you are about to receive the fatal blow from the opponent." ”
When Allendo heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile, it seems that Franner really felt a lot. Ryan softly reassured Flanna, saying, "You don't have to be so pessimistic, can you? Sometimes, it is useful to believe in a god, such as a pious priest." Perhaps, the gods are too busy?"
Franner rolled her eyes at Ryan and said disdainfully, "During the ten days of my suffering, I prayed to all the gods whose names I remembered, prayed for their coming, and swore to believe in the God who saved me for the rest of my life! This tragic fate was not changed until I met you. Let the gods of heaven die! Now I don't believe in any gods. Oh no, if I had to believe in one, I would only believe in you now, Supreme Magician, Mr. Lane!"
"Poof!"
Franner's words caused Elendo, who was drinking water, to squirt out all the water he had just drunk, and Ryan, who was sitting next to him, also had a long mouth, not knowing what to say. You look at me, I look at you, and the same thought comes to mind: "Poor Franna, he must have been stimulated a lot these days, is he crazy?"
――――――×――――――×――――――×―――――― this is an ordinary secret room, the four walls of the room are empty, except that there is a magic light source on each of the four walls, and the whole secret room is reflected as if it were day. This magic light source is actually a magic item that constantly releases "illumination", and with the support of the magic array and magic core, it can be used for a long time.
An old man in his sixties sat at the only table in the center of the room, a pitch-black table filled with stacks of materials that the old man had been working on for hours. In the eyes of ordinary people, this is definitely hard work, but the old man's eyebrows are clearly bright, as if this is a game that can be very enjoyable.
If Franner was here, he would have called out the old man's name: "Chilaviv!" That's right, this old man is the ruler behind the continent's first chamber of commerce, the Dorok Business Alliance, known as the genius businessman Chilaviv. As an ordinary apprentice, he relied on his genius business talent, and in just a dozen years, he became the richest person in the entire continent.
The deeds of the warriors who saved humanity and the heroes who created empires may have made people's blood boil for a short time, but over time, these legendary characters quickly disappeared into the long river of history. That year, in honor of their "Victory Day", has long become synonymous with the fortune of merchants.
On the contrary, in recent decades, countless legends about Chilaviv have made people talk about it, if someone is really bored to count who the people on the entire continent worship the most, I am afraid that even Fernando I, who founded the empire, can only be ranked second.
The first place in line is definitely the inconspicuous old man in front of him.
It is not certain whether you can survive to become a hero, not to mention fighting to the death and forgetting death, even if you are really admired by all people? And if he had one percent of Chilaviv's wealth, tsk, it is estimated that not only in his own life, but even his grandson's grandson would worry about how to spend so many gold coins.
Chilaviv picked up a document in his left hand, this was the income of a caravan under the Dorok Chamber of Commerce last year, he took a cursory look at it, according to the situation described above, whether it was true in his heart, and whether there were still those places that needed to be verified......
When everything was done, Chiraviv would sign his name at the end of the document, and sometimes write a few words of instruction, which would be his own vision, a direction on the way forward, or a reward or punishment for the head of the chamber of commerce. Then this information will be taken out by special personnel, and it will be handled strictly according to Chilaviv's wishes, and perhaps a simple sentence will change the fate of many people.
There are fewer and fewer materials on Chilaviv's left-hand side, and the materials he has processed and put on the right-hand side are getting thicker and thicker. Finally, Chilaviv put down the quill pen in his hand, let out a long sigh, and showed a look of satisfaction on his face, for others, this seven or eight hours of continuous work must be painful, but in Chilaviv's heart, it is incomparable enjoyment.
The door of the secret room was gently pushed open, and a slender maid walked in lightly, holding a steaming sauerkraut sausage and a large glass of water on the plate in her hand. Yes, Chilaviv hated drinking because that would paralyze his brain and prevent him from thinking.
Gently placing the sauerkraut sausage and water in front of Chilaviv, the maid respectfully exited the secret room. Chilaaviv took a sip of the water glass, then took a knife and fork, cut off a small piece of sausage, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly. Originally, this sauerkraut sausage was not a valuable dish, and it was not even allowed to be served in the banquet of the nobles, so it could only be sent to the side hall for those servants to enjoy.
However, before Chilaviv made his fortune, he gave a rich man a whole year. At that time, he was very satisfied to be able to eat fragrant meat sausages. Later, even though Chilaviv became the richest man in the mainland and could enjoy the food from all parts of the mainland every day, in his heart, he still liked to eat this dish.
Of course, although the name of the dish is the same, there is a world of difference between the ingredients and the cooking process. This sausage alone uses the most tender and fine meat of Tarun cattle that are not less than 3 months old and cannot exceed 6 months, and to make such a sausage, at least ten Talen cattle are cut from the meat, and the rest of the spices used in cooking are more than ten gold coins. As a result, the cost of an ordinary-sounding dish is definitely not less than seventy gold coins, which is enough for the living expenses of an ordinary family of three for three years.
Chilaviv ate quickly, a habit he had developed in his early years, for servants did not know when their masters would send them to do things, and if they did not eat quickly, they might have to go hungry.
After feasting on the carefully prepared food in front of him, Chilaviv took a long sip of water from his glass. As soon as he put down the water glass, the door of the secret room was gently opened again, and a young man of short stature walked in respectfully, and in his hand, there was a thick stack of materials.
The diminutive young man put the information in his hand on Chilaviv's left hand, and then quickly packed up the food and walked out quickly. Chilaviv picked up the copy at the top of the stack and opened it.
