Chapter 14 Meeting and Mobilization
Speechless all the way, in a blink of an eye, I came to Ed's house, two rooms and a small courtyard, and Rogge pushed the door in. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
At this time, the slightly dilapidated courtyard was actually full of people, and Rogge glanced at them after entering, they were all five big and three rough men, and Ed was among them.
"Everyone is here?" asked Rogge.
"Anyone who can be called is called!" Ed glanced left and right, and introduced them one by one.
"Ed, are you kidding us?" Just as Ed was introduced, a burly man squeezed out, pointed at Rogge and asked impatiently: "Big guy look at your face and wait here for a long time, don't say that this kid is our employer!"
"Offman, didn't I tell you just now?" Ed's face instantly sank after hearing this: "This is our employer, do you have an opinion?!"
"It's not that I, Offman, have an opinion, but you say that such a little kid wants to buy all our furs, and you want us to do it, you ask everyone, does anyone believe it?!"
Offman's words did speak for everyone, and now that the fur business is sluggish, it is even more infuriating that Saul's profiteer has colluded with several merchants to suppress the price of fur, which makes it even worse for the hunters who risk their lives in exchange for a meager income.
Yesterday, I heard from my mother-in-law that Ed made a lot of money selling furs, and she also went door-to-door to find people to work and buy shabby furs.
Seeing the heavy snow coming, everyone was thinking about whether to fight again in the forest before the heavy snow closed the mountain, but Ed hurriedly came to buy the fur, not only to get the best fur, but also to have all the inventory in his own hands!
What's even more incredible is that the price is three times higher than before, and it's a long-term acquisition!
The most unexpected thing for them is that Ed actually opened a store! It seems to be called a high-end specialty store, anyway, the name is very awkward, and it has to recruit employees, and assures them that the employer is very generous, and the salary is a lot, which is definitely more profitable than being a hunter!
No one knows the Orion profession better than them, who knows if they will be able to come back next time they go into that terrible forest, they can have a very generous employer, they can have a stable and well-paid job, they can't ask for it, how can they refuse.
I came to Ed's house with excitement and apprehension, but after waiting for a long time, I actually waited for a child, although Ed said that the employer was very special, but what can a seven or eight-year-old child do?
"Okay, I know it all. ā
Rogge raised his hand to stop Ed, who was still arguing, swept the snowflakes on his body with his hand, motioned for Ed to stand behind him, and then silently watched everyone, and the entire courtyard was silent for a while.
The snowflakes fell quietly, and the scene in the courtyard was extremely weird, a group of big men with different eyes, facing a child, and everyone stood in the wind and snow.
Maybe it's an illusion, behind Rogge, in the eyes of Roland and Roque, who were held in the arms of their mother, the group of big men in front of them seemed to be waiting for the little figure in front of them to give orders!
In fact, Rogge never acts aimlessly, Rogge does this just as a simple psychological hint, hinting at who is the master here!
The power of silence and silence is terrifying, and in such an environment, people's hearts will gradually show a kind of fear, anxiety and even restlessness, and people's cognition of another thing is often extremely profound!
As time slowly passed, the doubts in the eyes of the people in front of him were gradually replaced by irritability, at this time, the corners of Rogge's mouth turned up slightly, his voice was not loud, but with an undoubted tone, he said slowly: "I don't speak, I want you to remember who has the final say here!"
"Do you remember it now?!" said Rogge, taking out a delicate money bag from his arms and holding it in his hand to play: "This is money, money that you can't earn in your life!"
After a pause, Rogge smiled and glanced at everyone arrogantly: "This is the Viscountess giving me money, and I, doing things for the Viscountess!"
A cold wind blew, and after a brief lull, an exclamation sounded: "That... On that money bag, it's an arabesque!"
"Really... It's really the Viscount's clan glow!"
"Little... My lord, this... Is it true?"
"What, don't you believe it?" Rogge looked at the interesting expressions of the people in front of him, and smiled slightly: "Except for the viscountess, who can give you such a good job?!"
"It's... It's...."
After hearing Rogge's words, the small courtyard exploded instantly, and the voices of surprise and excitement came one after another, and the Keanes and the Roland family looked at Rogge with wide eyes, their faces full of disbelief.
They didn't dare to think of working for the noble viscountess, but the arabesque mark was right in front of them, and no one dared to joke with the nobles, so they couldn't believe it.
"Don't look at me, what I said is true!Or where did I get so much money?!" Rogge shook his head and threw the money bag to Ed, who looked stunned, and at the beginning Rogge only explained something, and did not tell Ed about meeting the viscountess.
"Why are you still drooling when I go?!I haven't seen what happened to the money?" said with a look of disdain: "Arrange them to work, this is Asuna, my sister!
'Tsk, this trick has been tried and tested repeatedly!' Rogge looked at the crowd like an idiot, but remembering the consequences of offending the nobles, Rogge raised his eyebrows and thought, 'I'm not lying, it's true that the Viscountess asked me to make gloves!'
In fact, Rogge's original plan was to fool these people into joining the gang, but after having money, Rogge no longer planned to do so, after all, it was very risky to find a random partner.
Although with Rogge's IQ, it is not difficult to dig a pit to bury these people and make these people grateful to Dade, but in the face of a group of poor people, Rogge still disdains to do this, and besides, this little business Rogge is not in his eyes at all.
Based on this, Rogge changed the cooperation situation to employment, which not only reduced the risk and avoided many problems later, but also pulled up an initial team in this world.
"What's wrong?" Rogge looked at Asuna with a smile on her face.
"No, I think my brother is so powerful!" Asuna said with a smirk.
"Of course. Rogge smiled to himself.
"And what am I going to do?" Yasna looked expectant.
"You?" Rogge patted Asuna's little head and said with a smile: "Your stomach is full, of course you want to make money, you just have to count the money every day at home!"
"I... I don't know how to count......" said this, Asuna lowered her head, her voice getting weaker and weaker.
"With my brother here, are you still afraid that you won't know how to count? In the future, my brother will ask you ten people who can count, help you count, okay?"
"Oh no! I'm going to count it myself!"
"Okay, then I'll hire ten teachers for you and teach you to count every day!"
Soon after, Eddard, who was still excited, called Martha and Casey to take a few people away, and before leaving, Ed repeatedly told him to take care of Asuna, especially Casey, who was even more enthusiastic after learning Asuna's identity.
"That's right, Eddard. Noticing Roland, Rogge said, "Remember, in the future, our children who work here will only be paid according to the adults, and they will only make two imperial clocks a day!"
"Two Imperial clocks, pay us the full amount, our full pay is almost three times that of the others!" Ed almost didn't shout when he heard this.
The children are not trying their best to deduct their work, and they can give normal wages, which is enough for these children to be grateful to Dade, I have never heard of any recruitment company with such preferential conditions, Rogge is simply lacking in heart and eye!
But in Rogge's pig-like eyes, Ed deeply understood that this must be a very forward-looking decision of Lord Rogge, and for this reason, Ed intends to carry it out to the end!
Who knew that Ed woke up everyone present with a loud voice, and in the wolf-like eyes of everyone, Rogge smiled bitterly: "Here will be recruited in the future, you have priority for your families, if you have children, just send them, just look for Ed." ā
After a sentence, the scene instantly became chaotic, and Roger, who walked towards the room, did not find Roland's surprised and grateful eyes.
Rogge had long noticed that time timekeeping in this world was quite general, and even that there were obvious differences between provinces, while the Imperial Clock was a method of timekeeping that divided the day into twelve clock lines.
A clock line Rogge roughly calculated, almost two and a half hours, two clocks are about five hours, calculating the detailed schedule is a big problem, after all, it involves many issues such as the autobiography and revolution speed of this planet, and Rogge has not thought about it now.
Five hours full and triple the pay, and it's no wonder these people went crazy.
"Thirteen Orions, the workers count the Ed family, forty-five, seven of the finest furs, forty-five of the medium furs, and one hundred and seventy-four of the inferior shabby furs!"
Estimating the personnel and materials, Rogge's brows gradually furrowed: "This is too little." ā
"Not a lot. Ed had a bitter face: "As soon as I heard that you charged three times the price, everyone took it out." ā
"We'll talk about the fur later. "The small room is now crowded with people, one by one with wide eyes waiting for Rogge to speak, it seems that what happened just now has a good effect.
"Ahem," Rogge cleared his throat and asked Ed to bring a table with a few furs and gloves and ear warmers on it, and said to the crowd, "Now, a meeting!"
"Before the meeting, I would like to introduce to you the products of our 'Luo Ji High-end Fur Products Store', which will be referred to as 'Luo Ji Specialty Store' in the future......"
"This is a glove, this is a shabby fur, the glove we tentatively set 9 copper coins, the price of a fur I think everyone knows, according to the sales in the past two days, the amount, is the sales situation. ā
"8 times the profit, isn't it exciting? This is red-eyed? But I tell you that this is just our defective product, and it will be the lowest-end product in the future, and 8 times the profit is definitely not our goal......
"What we want to do in Luo Ji is not only the largest fur merchant in Dale County, but we want to beat the brand of Luo Ji out of Dale County, Scott Province, and the entire Duchy of Barth, and even the entire empire!"
"Why, you don't have faith? Lord Viscount of Dale County, will be our strong backing, do you want me to say more? Tell me, do you have faith!"
"Yes!"
"Didn't hear me!
"Yes!"
"Okay, what we want is this momentum, then let's talk about the development route of our Luo Ji, initially, we will focus on small workshops, based on the common people, develop and develop our market, and then ......"
"So, now you know, what I'm missing the most!"
"Fur!"
"What's missing?!"
"Manpower!"
In just a few minutes, everyone's enthusiasm continued to rise, their eyes became brighter and brighter, as if they saw the direction of life, as if they had found the goal of life, and seemed to have seen a glorious road of paving gold coins!
But in such a scene, Rogge rolled his eyes, this is not to say the classic quotation of 'half-hearted, whip up, attack from all sides, and always strive for the first', to say, these people are not in the sky?!
"Ahem, alright!" Rogge raised his hands and suppressed his voice: "Now you know what to do? Mobilize all the resources you can mobilize, go, go collect the fur, go and call your relatives and friends over to work!"
"Today's efforts will achieve your brilliance tomorrow!"
