"My lord, we have some problems right now. ”

"What? Is it that one of the magic machines is broken?" Philip stretched, "Or are the animals that pulled the magic machines tired and lying down a few?" ”

"It's not for this reason, Grace just told me that since the Electric Magic Chamber of Commerce opened a magic shop in Lobit City, the sales of magic crystals have been high and low for a while, if a large caravan or mercenary group comes, the magic crystals will be sold out soon, and even the inventory will be sold out, but after they leave, the magic crystals will be unsold for a long time, and some small local mercenary groups and independent adventurers will not use so much, especially high-grade magic crystals. This sales situation is high and low for a while, which makes the leaders of the four clans very unsteady, and once the inventory is too much, the factory has to stop production, but the horses or mules we buy back have to eat feed every day, and they don't care whether you start work or not, whether you make money or not. ”

Philip rubbed his head, the production capacity is unbalanced, no matter which shijie is a troublesome thing, when there is an order, your production capacity is insufficient, the money you should make can't be earned, when there is no order, but looking at the equipment bought at a sky-high price is there and worried, I can't wait to catch my hair.

"This, I can't help it!" Philip now has the urge to grab his hair off, he is a little cautious at most, and if he wants to do operations and sales, he will simply scratch him blind.

"My lord, we might as well find a professional. ”

"Professionals?"

In the pink room, Philip was forced to sit on a soft sofa by a pair of huge white rabbits, and he was afraid that he would accidentally touch the pair of tempting peaches.

In Lobit City, Philip is afraid to face not just Grace, but another person.

Colleen, the proprietress of the Mermaid Tavern, a mercenary agent in the Lobit area, and an enigmatic woman.

Since Franklin came, Philip entrusted his butler to collect the dividends of the liquor every month, and he would never set foot in the mermaid tavern if he had nothing to do.

Today, however, Philip had a very special reason to come, and he had to come to Colleen's private reception room.

"My lord, do you have a crush on my partner?" Colleen's voice was sexy, hoarse, and the expression on her face seemed to say, "So you're not a decent gentleman either!"

"I'm surprised, Lord Castle, you should still be a virgin, right?"

"Ahem......" Philip choked on his own saliva, "It's not ...... you think"

Colleen didn't give Philip a chance to explain, and continued, "Don't you know that Miranda is lace-edged?"

"What does this have to do with her lace edge......

"Oh my God!" Colleen took a step back and covered her little mouth with her hand, "You don't mind?" The proprietress quickly changed her expression and suddenly said, "Yes, you men don't suffer anyway." ”

What is this?

Philip was speechless and exclaimed, "I came to her to ask her to help me run my private property!"

"Ahh

"That's it, or what do you think it is!"

Colleen immediately had a happy smile on her face and was about to approach Philip again, when the door of the reception room suddenly opened, and a woman with short brown ear-length hair and a short uniform skirt was about to walk in with a suitcase, looking intellectual and elegant.

In the room, Colleen leaned close to Philip, two white rabbits were almost attached to the Earl's body, and the pink hair was already hanging down to Philip's body, and the two of them were like thunder and fire in excitement.

Colleen ...... Uh, I'll come back later. ”

Colleen quickly stood up, quickly sorted it out, and smiled reluctantly: "I'm joking with my friends, hehe." ”

"Yes, yes, just kidding. Philip echoed and got up from the couch.

"Oh, Miranda, let me introduce you, this is my good friend, Lord Lobit, Philip Rose. Philip, this is Miranda Cooper, my partner and good friend, and she brought me all the drinks except liquor. ”

"It turned out to be a strong woman, fortunately I will ...... it"

After Philip and Miranda had said hello, the three of them sat down around the small coffee table in the reception room, and Miranda put her hand on the suitcase and glanced at Colleen. With the smell of inquiry.

"It's okay, Philip is his own person, and the liquor I handed over to you for sale was invented by him, and he can be regarded as your indirect partner. ”

The common secret can always make people let down their guard, Miranda smiled at Philip, and then said to Colleen: "The liquor you asked me to bring to Wellington to sell was not very effective at first, but I later changed my strategy and changed from taking the mass route to taking the high-end route, and I sold it for five hundred gold coins for one hundred catties of liquor." ”

Five hundred gold coins, half of the annual income of an average-income family, on the earth, although Moutai is expensive, it is not expensive to this extent, and Philip can't help but be impressed by Miranda.

However, liquor is a choice of grain, especially to make a good liquor, which requires great effort. Philip only mentioned the principle of making liquor to Colleen at the beginning, and the real delicious liquor is still brewed by Colleen's experiments again and again, and Colleen and Miranda account for more than half of the five hundred gold coins, and Philip only earns a few dozen gold coins at most.

It's just that Miranda can sell a little-known one so expensive, and the business methods are really good.

After Miranda finished speaking, she opened the suitcase, which was not the money from the sale of liquor, but another bottle of wine.

"One bottle of liquor left?" Colleen asked.

Miranda smiled and picked up three small cups from the coffee table and filled them with this transparent liquid, "This is a kind of wine from the northern dwarf tribe, it tastes very similar to baijiu, but it is much cheaper, I heard that there are many mercenaries in this place of Lobit, and they all like to drink liquor-like spirits, but baijiu is too expensive, this kind of liquor is just right." ”

Philip picks up the glass and pours the liquid into his mouth, which is light and refreshing, making people feel not sweet, bitter, or astringent, only a fiery thrill.

"Damn! It's vodka!"

"Vodka, what's that?" asked Miranda, surprised, "we Cooper used some iron ore to get this wine from the dwarves, who called it potato wine. ”

"Well, I used to drink it from a magician who traveled to the imperial capital, and he called it vodka. ”

Miranda's eyes lit up, "It's too resistant to call potato wine, and the name vodka is quite nice." ”

Colleen also nodded after tasting this wine, "Yes, it's quite strong, but it lacks the mellow aroma of liquor, so it's good to sell this wine to ordinary mercenaries and soldiers, let's discuss the price of this wine......"

In the end, Colleen bought a hundred pounds of vodka and a hundred pounds of spirits for two silver coins, which was nothing in a megacity like Wellington, but it could be sold for a long time in a small place like Lobit.

After chatting about business, Miranda was about to leave, and before leaving, she gave Colleen an ambiguous look, meaning not to disturb her lovers, but Philip suddenly stopped Miranda.

"Miss Miranda, it is said that you are only the manager of a caravan at the Cooper Chamber of Commerce, and you only take the line from Lobit to Wellington, right?"

"Hmph, small caravan, yes, it is true that I am only in charge of a small caravan, I don't know what His Excellency Philip has to say. Miranda's face was a little unsightly, if it weren't for Colleen's face, she would have slammed the door and walked away.

"I can't talk about teaching, but I have a private chamber of commerce, and I want to hire you to take full responsibility. Philip looked at Miranda with a smile.

Miranda's face was a little strange, and she glanced at Philip: "Your Excellency, you don't know that the Cooper Chamber of Commerce and the Rose family are mortal enemies, do you?
