Surdak will be the merchant Dirk. Quleton invited the barracks tent, and Dirk didn't look around out of curiosity, his eyes fell on the map hanging by the wall of the barracks tent, and he saw that the small town of Diriss had been circled with a red pen on the map, so he stopped on it for two seconds.

Surdak paused and unabashedly introduced: "If there are no other emergencies, we will clean up the town of Rees next." Mr. Dirk, what are you looking for from me? ”

He didn't have time to test each other and play some language games.

If you have this time, you might as well go to the treasure room and give Isser a bag of red crystals.

Merchant Dirk was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Surdak to get into the subject so quickly, it was like ending the foreplay early and lacking some lubrication, which caused his language to be a little dry, He pinched his Adam's apple and cleared his throat, and said: "I am here to apply to you for the Pameo Bay Merchant Group as a military merchant group. ”

The so-called military merchant group, that is, the legion has priority when purchasing bulk goods, and can also enjoy the price negotiated within the merchant group, what the legion needs to do is to sell the loot to the military carchant, compared to the gold coin transaction, the profit obtained in the middle of this buy and sell can be directly multiplied several times.

Thea walked in from outside with two cups of tea, she was fully used to being an assistant.

For such a pure and beautiful girl to appear in the barracks, the merchant Dirk was not surprised.

"Well, I am indeed the commander of this coalition army, but in terms of purchasing supplies, I am only responsible for the heavy infantry soldiers of one legion, and if you want to become the merchant group of my heavy infantry legion, I am naturally very welcome." Surdak sat down in front of the merchant Dirk and took a sip from his glass.

Surdak then continued, "So I can only do that my legion will make regular purchases from your merchants, and the other thirteen lord armies, and you have to convince their commanders. ”

The merchant Dirk was not surprised to hear Surdak say this.

Probably he has figured out the internal situation of this coalition army, after all, this is not a secret.

"Since you want to become the merchant group of the heavy infantry corps on my side, then I will also directly say my expectations, I hope that all kinds of goods will reflect the advantages of the merchant corps in terms of prices." Surdak said.

"Of course, in terms of some goods, you may feel that some commodities of our merchant group have no competitive advantage, such as food." With a look of confidence on his face, the merchant Dirk continued, "But our merchant group said that the quality of the goods provided is absolutely guaranteed. ”

Merchant Dirk leaned closer to Surdak and lowered his voice a bit, saying, "In addition to that, I can also offer purchase rebates to the Commander. I can return 5% of the total transaction amount to you, and of course, I guarantee that there will be no such expense on the books of the firm. ”

"Rebates?" Surdak thought he might have misheard.

"Yes, you don't think it's only five percent, but that's what I can do if I offer you almost the same price as other merchants, and if you want to increase the rebate rate, say twenty percent...... Or fifty percent...... Or higher, this part of the cost will be directly added to the payment list. With that, the merchant Dirk looked at Surdak expectantly.

Surdak rubbed his forehead with some distress, reached out and patted the merchant Dirk on the shoulder, and said to him:

"I am willing to reach a cooperation with you with the military merchant group, because your merchant group is the first to come to this plateau business group, and set up a market opposite the barracks, seeing those soldiers lingering in the market is rare to have a good mood, I am full of expectations for your merchant group, and I also hope that there will be some cooperation between us in the future, I care more about the cost performance of goods than those ridiculous rebates...... Do you think in the face of continuous victory, who cares about those small profits of flies and dogs? ”

Merchant Dirk looked surprised, and then bowed his head in horror and confessed his mistake:

"Well, I offended ......"

"Of course, as the first merchant group to come here, I am still willing to cooperate with you." Surdak is always willing to give more opportunities to first-time businessmen.

After saying that, Surdak got up to see off the guests.

Dirk, the merchant, also stood up with Surdak, and the two walked to the door of the tent.

He also said to the merchant Dirk: "I will make a purchase list as soon as possible, and you will fill in the quotation and delivery date on it." ”

"Of course, what I can give you is that you have priority in the face of the same price. Because your merchant group is the first to come here, you deserve this treatment. ”

Merchant Dirk hurriedly responded:

"Thank you for your generosity!"

Surdak smiled and said:

"Looking forward to working with you, Mr. Dirk."

Until Merchant Dirk walked out of the camp, one thing was still on his mind, what exactly did this Surdak Commander want?

It stands to reason that the establishment and ownership of this heavy infantry corps belong to the military department, so isn't it good for Surdak to get some rebates when he only has the command right to purchase some armaments and materials? After all, this time in the Northern Expedition, those big people in the military department will not care too much about these.

Seeing the merchant Dirk leave, Surdak turned and walked back to the tent, and then thought that he had to go around the camp again.

As an assistant, Thea followed Surdak and briefed the wounded soldiers in the barracks on their recovery.

Her magnificent blue eyes always looked at Surdak with curiosity, and there seemed to be a certain temperament in him that fascinated her, but she couldn't say what it was.

Thea lowered her eyes, looked at the faint scales on her arm, and sighed softly.

……

When the coalition plan to clean up the town of Rees was announced, the entire camp began to pack up in advance and began to prepare dry rations for the day's march.

Tomorrow morning, as long as you pull up the windbreak rope of the tent, pull out the wooden frame, roll up the canvas, and set off immediately.

The orderly ran into the medical tent and whispered to Surdak: "Jeffrey, the owner of the Rye Catcher Merchant Group, has visited. ”

Rather than the slurs and Pomek Bay merchants across the camp, Surdak was looking forward to the Rye Catchers caravan because they were carrying much-needed food for the coalition forces.

In fact, because the supply line could not be delivered in time, the army had already run out of food three days ago.

In the past few days, Surdak has temporarily purchased some grain from the city of Hylanza and transported it here through the Void Gate, although the price of the wheat flour purchased is very cheap, and the profit can be doubled if it is provided to the coalition forces, but he is not a grain merchant.

Moreover, the current population base of the coalition army is so large that it needs to run back and forth many times a night.

If this situation continues for a few days, the question of the origin of the grain will certainly be questioned by other commanders.

Therefore, Surdak is still very much looking forward to the arrival of this crop watchman grain merchant group on the Sayroman Plateau.

Standing at the door of the barracks' tent, I saw three merchants walking in from outside the camp, two of them had obvious characteristics of the southerners of the empire, and it had to be said that the southern lords almost monopolized the grain market of the Grimm Empire.

Probably introduced privately by the orderly, the three merchants walked up to Surdak, and the elderly red-haired old man in the middle saluted like Surdak and asked:

"With all due respect, you are Commander Surdak?"

"Exactly down there." Surdak nodded in response.

The red-haired old man and the other two merchants hurriedly saluted Surdak and said:

"I'm Jeffrey of the Crop Catcher Merchant Group, and I'm shipping a shipment of wheat flour this time, hoping to make a win-win deal with the coalition forces."

Surdak invited them to the tent of the barracks and said, "Of course, we are expecting a caravan to come to the plateau with the food we urgently need. ”

He deliberately said this to see how much this grain merchant group could set the price of grain when it was alone.

When the three merchants had sat down in the barracks tent, the red-haired Jeffrey in the center looked at the other two merchants and said to Surdak:

"This time we brought in 8,000 bags of wheat flour, and our wheat flour was shipped to the plateau, where it normally sold for ten copper coins per pound."

When he said this, the implication was that there was also an agreed price.

Surdak sat in his chair and listened quietly.

The red-haired Jeffrey said directly: "But I can reduce the price to eight copper coins per pound, and the premise is that I hope that our Rye Watch Merchant Group can be qualified to become the Military Merchant Group!" ”

The price of eight copper coins per pound is already in line with Surdak's psychological expectations.

Surdak still pondered for a moment before he said, "The price is very fair, I promise you, but what materials do you want to buy?" ”

The red-haired Jeffrey was overjoyed, his eyes brightened a little, and he hurriedly said, "The magic core, leather, and other valuable magic materials on the Cerberus can all be." ”

Surdak nodded when he heard this, and said:

"I promise you, if you have enough money, you can sell fifty percent of the booty obtained by the legion to you through the channels of the merchant group."

He paused, then added:

"In addition, I need to support some other merchant groups, after all, if you want to be on this plateau, if you don't want to worry about logistics, it's not enough for you to have one merchant group."

The red-haired Jeffrey hesitated, apparently not satisfied with the fifty percent loot acquisition right, so he said very tactfully:

"There's certainly nothing wrong with funding, if you can make a bigger deal on food if you can buy more of the loot......"

Surdak shook his head insistently and said:

"That's fine, or you won't be able to hold even fifty percent of this part when the other grain carriers arrive here. Okay, you can send the grain brought by the merchant here...... Outside the town of Reese, but only if you set off with our army, the Hell Demons over there haven't been cleared yet. ”
