Chapter IX: The Viscount's Palace
When he came to the stall, he just stood still, and the fierce shouting and buying instantly weakened, and all the merchants who sold furs looked at Rogge in unison. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
They remembered this young boy, and they remembered this boy who sold ten copper coins for thirty copper coins for thirty copper coins!
They toss and turn all night, they are annoyed and remorseful all night, and all night they are only thinking about one question, why are they not as good as a child, why can't they come up with such a shameless solution!
The casual actions of the fur merchants infected all the people in the entire market, feeling the eyes of Qi brush, the corners of Rogge's mouth were slightly upturned, and he slowly made a perfect aristocratic ceremony, and then, with a wave of his hand, a banner was played, only to see that the font on the banner was huge, slightly oblique, but it gave people a feeling of extreme superiority and freshness, which was unforgettable, and everyone couldn't help but shine.
If you look closely, you can see that Huo Ran wrote on the banner: Luo Ji high-end fur products monopoly! Opening big reward! Buy two get one free! Old customers get 10% off!
"The cold snow is coming, are you still worried about your hands being frozen? Are you still worried about hurting these hands that support a family because of heavy work, don't be afraid, don't worry, Luo Ji monopoly will solve your worries, as long as 9 copper coins, as long as 9 copper coins, you heard it right, not 9 gold coins, not 9 silver coins, as long as 9 copper coins, Luo Ji warm gloves to take home!"
"Oh, this heroic uncle, what's wrong with your ears? Is it frozen? It's itchy and painful, it doesn't matter, as long as you have Luo Ji warm earmuffs, it won't be a problem to protect your ears! If you want to buy two pairs of gloves, I'll give you these ear warmers! At first glance, you are an understanding person, come and get it!"
"Look at this workmanship, look at this workmanship, please remember Luo Ji, Luo Ji products must be high-quality!"
"Luo Ji, to solve all the needs of your life as its own responsibility, will continue to innovate, continue to progress, please remember Luo Ji!"
'Stupid', 'stupid', 'Meng', this is the true portrayal of all fur merchants after Rogge shouted his first sentence!
Thor is a well-known fur merchant in this market, he is a shrewd person, and he is also a hunter, how can a good fur never escape his eyes, and after many years of careful calculation, he actually started trading with several large fur merchants in the aristocratic district of Dongcheng.
Usually seems to be polite, but the people who know Thor are all extremely disgusted with him, he is evil, mean, calculating, relying on his own connections, buying and selling the best furs cheaply, and not less pit those hunters who take their lives to hunt.
In recent years, it has colluded with several merchants in the noble area to suppress the price of fur, and the insiders dare not speak out, they are not afraid of offending Saul, but they are afraid of offending several fur merchants behind Saul, if they cut off the sales of their fur, it is equivalent to cutting off their family's way of living.
At this time, Thor looked at the gloves and ear warmth in his hand with a gloomy face, 9 copper coins, a good fur is only about 20 copper coins, but such a fur is enough to make ten pairs of gloves.
Not to mention the quality of this fur, with his experience, as soon as the gloves arrived, he knew that they were just some shabby fur reconstruction, and the cost price of this was only eleven or twelve copper coins, and the net income of a fur was as high as 80 copper coins.
This is eight times the profit, and look at the crowd of people in front of Rogge's stall, the money in the hands of these people should have been earned into their own pockets, Saul felt that his heart was bleeding, and the pain was unbearable.
What's even more annoying to him is that a pair of gloves and ear warmth are just two pieces of fur that are slightly sewn, why can't he think of it?
It's not that they can't imagine that when a fur is bought, even a single hair would be divided into two halves, and who would have nothing to do with it, and put it together as a glove?
At this time, Rogge looked at the Casey family who were busy selling and the people who were rushing to buy, and then glanced at the merchants with wide-eyed eyes full of disbelief, and smiled in his heart: "How can the profit of raw materials be compared with the finished product? ”
Time flies quickly, and the snowflakes floating in the air can't stop the full, swollen, and bursting enthusiasm of the Casey family, Rogge rolled his eyes, walked into the alleyway with the family, looked back at the back, and said secretly: "The money is crazy, there should be a bait, right?"
Thor looked at the Casey family in the distance, and the guy who stole his large amount of copper coins, turned to the guy on the side and asked, "Did that kid really wear double boots with arabesque flowers yesterday?"
......
"We sell well, why buy fabric?"
"The fabric you want is expensive..."
"Do you really want to do that?"
It was still early, and before lunchtime, Rogge counted today's earnings, and there were as many as twelve silver coins, and when he was in a good mood, he directly gave the next step, but since the task was issued, Ed has been nagging behind him.
"What so much nonsense. Rogge, who couldn't bear it, kicked it over, and the gap in IQ made Rogge resentful: "Tell you that you understand? Either do it, or I'll go, this sentence has been remembered for me!"
"Yes, yes, yes......" Ed is also from Orion, although his leg is lame, but he is still in good shape, but he really can't raise his temper in front of Rog, who is half shorter than himself, but is more like a child who makes mistakes.
The fact is that after today's trafficking, the Ed family no longer treats Rogue as a human being, but completely as an ancestor, how dare they offend.
"Aunt Martha and Kathy have gone to find someone, and I'll draw some drawings for you in a moment, just do it. After finally calming down, Rogge continued: "As for the acquisition of fur, it is a problem, shoddy is not the way after all, sooner or later you will smash your own signboard......"
"Moreover, man's ability to imitate and learn is incomparable to that of any species, and it can be seen from the performance of those people in the market today that it is estimated that it will not take a few days for gloves to rot on the street. Rogge frowned, looking helpless: "Funding is a big problem, it would be good to be able to keep your own business with the current capital, and you can't compare it with those merchants with strong funds, let alone seize the market......
"There are many ways to make money, but with the current funds, hey, it's difficult for a good woman to cook without rice!"
For Rogge's words, Ed became more and more incomprehensible, as if he remembered something, and didn't dare to interrupt Rogge, so he slurred: "Actually... Actually..."
"Something to say. ”
"That's... I know some hunters, all of them are poor people, and you know that people like us don't dare venture into the forest......"
"Oh?!" Rogge was overjoyed when he heard the news and asked, "How are the people?"
"We used to hunt together a lot, and the relationship was good, but since the leg problem, they have not helped less, but they are not rich, so there is no contact after that. Speaking of this, Ed was a little sad and continued: "However, don't worry, there are a few that are absolutely reliable!"
"That's it..."Rogge nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "You call someone over, let's have a meeting in the afternoon!"
"Open... Meeting?"
"Have you forgotten what I just said?"
"Uh, yes, yes, I'm going to get in touch!"
Looking at Ed who was far away, Rogge knew in his heart that Ed still had a lot of feelings for those Orions, after all, they were also 'born and died' together, although they didn't know what kind of animals those furs were, but looking at the size of the furs, they knew that Orion was definitely a high-risk industry.
Moreover, they are all poor people, and others have helped Ed when he was in trouble, but each family has its own difficulties, and Ed's temperament has changed greatly after breaking his leg, so he has gradually lost contacts.
For Ed's actions, Rogge is still very pleased in his heart, not forgetting his roots, and being grateful, but not many people can do it.
But then again, it's not easy to do business with guys, everyone has selfish intentions, and no one can guarantee that these people won't drop the chain at a critical moment.
But Buck's matter, coupled with the problem of funding, Rogge couldn't think of a better way.
The passing carriage woke up Rogge, who was thinking about things, the carriage was exquisite, the dull lines on the carriage were pervasive, and there was a pleasant laughter from time to time.
"It turned out to be here. ”
As the carriage departed, Rogge looked around, the streets were wider and more tidy, and the ground was different from the previous stone pavement, all of which were smooth patterned stones, and from time to time a pair of patrolling soldiers passed by.
The streets are lined with luxurious shops, and there are often rich people in fancy clothes coming and going, less noisy hawkers, and more chattering nobles.
In the distance, several magnificent temples stand tall, showing banners of arabesques and fluttering in the wind in the snowflakes, this is the eastern city of Daleshire, where the nobility and the rich lived.
For this place, Rogge didn't dare to walk into it before, mostly with dim eyes, looking from afar.
"Since you're here, let's go around..."
Rogge put his hands behind his back, looked around, and walked towards the hall, there were two places with arabesque flags, one was the slightly solemn five-story building in front of Rogge, typical of the imperial spire style, this is the administrative hall of Dale County.
Seeing that the guards in front of him were heavily guarded, Rogge had no intention of sneaking in, and as for the second place, Rogge could only look at it from afar, which was the end of a street guarded by guards, showing a luxurious palace-like complex, the Viscount Mansion of Daleshire.
After standing for a long time, Rogge had no choice but to leave.
There are not many tall buildings, and the two scales are the places in front of Rogge that fascinate him the most, looking at the banner embroidered with mystical runes, Rogge can feel his heart beating faster.
Rogge's eyes trembled a little because of his intense curiosity and desire for knowledge, and the building in front of him was completely different from the Imperial Spire architectural style, with a dome arch that was full of mystery.
"This is the Apothecary's Guild?!"
The Apothecary Guild is a branch of the Imperial Royal Alchemy Academy, and because Dale County is close to the Everfree Forest, there is a lot of magic materials produced, and there is a branch established by the Bounty Guild, so it is natural that the Apothecary Guild will be established here.
The Imperial Royal Alchemy Academy is an organization on a par with the Imperial Magic Guild, the Light Temple, the Dark Yuan Power Institute, and the Bounty Guild.
Don't underestimate this temple, from the adoring and awe-inspiring eyes of passers-by, you can see that this building represents the most apex of the entire empire and even the whole world, such as force, power, wealth and majesty!
Even if it is a small branch, it is not something that the Viscount of Dale County or even the Grand Duke of the Duchy of Barton can despise!
After wandering here for a long time, Rogge was unwilling to leave, even if it was a small branch guild, it was not something that Rogge could touch.
Although he was gone, he was still overjoyed to see the library in front of him, although it was not as grand as the previous building, but it was also a well-known building in Dale County.
The library was built by the viscount himself, but it was only developed for the rich and nobles, and although it was not accessible now, it was not out of reach.
The last building is the Baron's Palace, for the 'Baron', Rogge is not cold, there are too many Barons in the Empire.
If the people of the empire were to be classified according to their personal assets, they were: the poor, the commoners, the rich, the nobles, the royal family.
And the baron basically has it in every city and county, which means that he is a person who has made a difference and is rich, but in fact he is the richest man in a city and county, who either donates money or runs out by connections, and has no real power.
That said, but don't underestimate the baron, once you have a title, you will be listed as a nobleman, which is not comparable to the rich class! Of course, the little baron is not in Rogge's eyes.
After turning around, Rogge was a little stunned, cleared his thoughts, and looked at the Viscount's Mansion again, Rogge understood that no matter where he was, money was not everything, and the only one who could perfectly solve the matter of Buck was the Viscount's Mansion.
"Identity is the king of this world!"
Rogge knew in his heart that it would not be difficult for him to solve Buck, but the problem was difficult, the uncertain factors and problems after Buck was solved.
Of course, Rogge didn't think about becoming a pharmacist, even if it was just an apprentice, not to mention commoners, even nobles were difficult to enter, so he didn't think about it.
"As long as you can enter the Viscount's Palace, even if it only allows me to go around......"
As Rogge pondered, a carriage came slowly......
