Chapter Seventy-Eight: Hawkeye Hank
Passing through the square, the business district is in sight. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Baji wasted no time in introducing: "Everyone, the front is the commercial area of Black Iron Town, and we have prepared a lot of goods for you to choose from. ”
The merchants looked at each other, and the great changes in Black Iron Town and the strange policies implemented by Renault made them look forward to the so-called business district even more.
Captain Pete, who was sitting at the end of the carriage and had been silent, suddenly couldn't help but ask, "Lord Buggy, is there a workshop that produces iron tools in front, why didn't I hear the sound of striking iron?"
"Ironware? No, Captain Pete, there are no ironware in Black Iron Town right now, maybe some will be produced in small quantities in the future, but they won't be sold in large quantities either. ”
Pete and the group of vendors were dumbfounded.
Black Iron Town has always been famous for producing iron tools, and if it doesn't produce iron tools, do you want to sell ore directly?
It seems that this trip has been in vain!
While they were all stunned and disappointed, the sharp-eyed merchant saw a huge signboard with three large characters written on it in a very distorted and rather freehand style: Liucui wine.
"Flowing green wine!" someone exclaimed, "Are you talking about the flowing green wine in Sequoia Town?"
Under the management of Momiji, Liucui sake has become famous in the Auro continent, especially in the cold weather in the north, and this high-quality spirit is sold out every time.
Many people, including Tony, the lord of Little Wolf Castle, have sent people to Sequoia Town, but even if the price is high, they can only buy it from other merchants, and the quantity is extremely limited, and they can't find out which brewery comes from.
But I didn't expect that it could also be seen in Black Iron Town.
"Ladies and gentlemen," Bucky led the merchant to the shop, "Liucui wine is one of our specialties in Black Iron Town. ”
"Isn't the wine from Sequoia Town?" someone immediately asked the question in their mind, "Lord Buggy, you're not kidding, are you?"
Asked like this, the vendors immediately looked at Badge at the same time. They are all extremely shrewd people, they have never heard of Black Iron Town still producing wine before, and now they suddenly say that the Liucui wine, which sells well in the entire Oro Continent, comes from here, naturally no one believes it.
"Everyone, please look!" Buggy pretended to be addicted, more and more energetic, and he was extremely confident when he raised his hands and feet, he smiled and pointed to the grain storage tank not far away, "That's our brewing workshop, if you are interested, you can go and see it for yourself!"
"Was that a brewery? I thought it was a blast furnace!"
Baji smiled and asked people to open a barrel on the spot, and suddenly the strong aroma of wine came to the nose, and those who had drunk Liucui wine immediately recognized this special aroma of wine.
"Sure enough, it's Liucui wine!"
After tasting them, Badge showed them the mountains of stock, and the merchants believed it. At that moment, more than a dozen people surrounded Baggy, wanting to learn the model of Sequoia Town and fight for the agency of Liucui Wine.
Baji regretfully told them that from now on, Liucui wine does not need an agent, and those who need it can go directly to the store to buy it.
The cooperation with Sequoia Town is temporarily collapsed, but the business will always have to go on.
The family members of the guards are in charge of the marketing of the shops, and each shop has a special person in charge, most of them are the families of the guards, and the businessmen who are agile have already begun to calculate how much wine they can bring back this trip.
After watching the Liucui wine, Badge took everyone to the next door.
It's an antiquely renovated shop, and before you even enter the door, you can smell a strong smell of ink. In the middle of the shop are stacks of white paper and, of course, pencils.
The perfect combination of pencil and white paper was demonstrated on the spot, and the merchants praised it, but not many people said they were willing to buy it. Because although these two things are convenient, the market is too small, and in this world, readers are a very small part of the world.
When people can use these, most of them are to deliver letters, and of course they are more solemn than these papers, of course, parchment rolls.
Badge had anticipated this situation for a long time, and when Renault first proposed to produce paper, he expressed doubts.
But Renault still insisted on investing a lot of manpower, insisting that it would be a world-changing invention (Demon God, where did Lord Renault get his confidence), but fortunately this thing was not too complicated to do, and Bucky arranged for some older children to help make such a small pile overnight.
The effect was really not good, Badge shook his head helplessly, thinking that Lord Renault should die this time.
"Lord Baggi,"
At this time, a short merchant held a pale yellow piece of paper and asked, his skin was sallow, his face was thin, but his eyes were clear, "What is the use of this?"
"This ......" Badge was stunned for a moment, this paper was made of sorghum straw, soft and rough, a batch of defective products, but Renault still put it in the shop, and said very bluntly what it was used for - wiping the ass!
Baji was a little embarrassed after explaining, after all, he is also a gentleman now, and he still sells things to wipe his ass here, which requires a certain amount of psychological tolerance.
When the short merchant heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up: "It's really wonderful!"
Usually people use "that" things, sticks, leaves, or even stones, or simply wash them with water, but in the north it obviously doesn't work, and the butt may freeze into ice cubes before it is cleaned.
Among the aristocracy, most of them used shells, and some used cloth, but that was too expensive.
"I want all these papers!" said the short merchant resolutely, "I just don't know, can I get the right to be represented?"
Baji was stunned for a moment, these papers placed in the corner for convenience, how could anyone buy them? and they still wanted carte blanche to act as an agent? This is not something he can decide.
Is this guy's brain really okay?
Badge asked, "I don't know what you call it?"
The short merchant whispered, "My name is Hank, Hank Baggins." ”
"It's you!"
Hank hurriedly made a small gesture to him and looked around closely, but luckily the group of merchants had no interest in paper, and most of them had gone outside.
Badge couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Hank is a legendary businessman who is even more legendary than Tony the wolf. He was born in the slums of the royal capital, but he was gifted with an incomparably shrewd mind and a vicious eye.
He began to engage in business at the age of twelve, targeting the wealthy nobles, and always gaining the affection of the nobles for all the goods he selected.
Because of his keen eye for discovery, people jokingly called him Hawkeye Hank.
Gradually, Hank became a celebrity, and even many people in the royal family favored him.
This made his name spread in the Auro continent, and there were many people who wanted to do business with him, because once the goods he fancied were definitely profitable transactions.
And such a character, this time he fell in love with their "paper", or a ...... wiping his ass!
Badge couldn't speak for a while, only felt that he was stunned by the gold coins that fell from the sky.
Demon God, he doesn't understand this world.
