Chapter Twenty-Four: Where Did the Fundamental Man of a Powerful Territory Come From?
Out of the inn, Justin heard a woman behind him shouting "Childe", and the voice was very familiar. Justin turned around and saw that Vivien had come out of the inn.
Justin asked curiously, "Hello Vivien, you also stay at this inn?"
Vivien smiled, "I'm waiting for you!" and she smiled playfully.
Justin was a little puzzled and unconsciously repeated the sentence "Wait for me!"
Seeing Justin's puzzled look, Vivian hurriedly said, "I know that Childe wants to go to the underground black market to buy slaves, so I plan to accompany Childe to have a look, so that I can explain to Childe." ”
Justin was overjoyed when he heard this, Vivian was holding the signboard of Bowen Pavilion, and he was sure that the underground black market would give Bowen Pavilion face. Besides, having someone familiar with the underground black market is of great benefit to yourself who wants to close a deal as soon as possible. Besides, there are no secrets in my own business.
Justin immediately nodded and smiled: "Of course you can, with such a beautiful girl as Vivian as me, I can't ask for it!"
Vivian suddenly said coquettishly: "Childe, you all know Vivian's name, but Vivian still doesn't know Childe's name?"
Justin listened to Vivian's coquettish tone, and was shaken by Vivian's arms again, and his chest was rubbed and rubbed high, and Justin's bones were almost crispy.
Pretending to be calm and clearing his throat, Justin straightened his back and introduced: "My name is Duan'an, I am a merchant, wandering around, and I came to Ark City this time at the request of the Lord of Thorns. ”
After speaking, Justin secretly said in his heart: Hehe, Brother Dubibie, don't blame you in your name, who made you my eldest brother? The eldest brother's name is Du Bibie, my name is Du An'an, and your son's name is Du Lala, haha, it seems that we are all a family surnamed Du.
Du An'an, who was originally proud in his heart, turned his mind to the appearance of Dubibi and Durala, and suddenly felt like eating a fly.
I am such a handsome, handsome, extraordinary, and handsome person, and I feel happy to be a member of the family surnamed Du just now, which is really a shame!
Vivian, who was next to her, saw that Dolby's face was changing at this time, and immediately asked in surprise: "Brother Du, what do you want? Why is your face so ugly?"
Du An'an snorted and said, "It's okay, I just remembered a past." It's just a mixture of joy and sorrow for a while. ”
Along the way, Vivien was always looking for topics to talk to, which made Justin a little wary. After all, businessmen can't afford to be early, and what can make them so enthusiastic is nothing but profit.
Justin listened carefully most of the time, and occasionally talked more about topics of interest, which also encouraged Vivien to have an in-depth conversation on topics that Justin was interested in.
Soon, Justin and the others came to the entrance of the intersection of Black Mayor Street underground, a dilapidated and low house inside the west gate.
Justin frowned and said, "Xiaowei, why are the conditions here so bad?"
Vivien replied, "Brother Du doesn't know that this was originally a slum, and later it was occupied by the underground black market. If you look at the endless traffic on this road, you can see how good the business of the underground black market is!"
After speaking, Vivien licked her lips, as if there was a golden mountain in front of her, but she had no chance to have it, just envy, jealousy, hatred, and a hint of disgust.
Justin and his party of six people showed swagger along the way, a master dressed as a swordsman, a servant dressed as a servant, and followed the ogre's subordinates, but walked all the way, which is really a unique scenery.
Seeing that many people were always looking at them curiously, Vivian blushed and said, "Brother Du, I'm really sorry, I was negligent. We should have come by car, but walking in like this is a little out of place with the atmosphere here, very alternative. ”
Indeed, how can a person with a bit of status, status, or money walk to the underground black market?
Justin wasn't at all uneasy. Except for his own strength and the development of the Thorn Collar, nothing else is in his eyes.
Half an hour later, the group walked to the entrance of the underground black market, and it was really dusty along the way.
Also, if you don't want to think about it, just the dilapidated and dirty appearance of Xicheng, the dust on the ground must be indispensable. The width of the street is only the width of two cars walking side by side, and the dust raised by the speeding cars is not all left behind by Justin and the pedestrians.
The armor-clad doorman saw the dusty appearance of Justin and his party, and tried to stop them from entering.
But when he saw a pass presented by Justin, the doorman was immediately in awe, bowed down and let him go.
Walking into the low gatehouse, Justin felt that he was going underground, and couldn't help but be a little stunned, and asked Vivien, "Is the underground black market really built underground?"
Vivien replied, "Yes, Brother Du." The underground black market is not a completely legal market, such as elves, sea tribes, beasts and other slaves are prohibited by the empire from being sold, but these races are all profiteering, so they are repeatedly banned. Therefore, the underground black market still needs to give face to the local government affairs and cannot be too public. So they bought the slum and converted it into a huge underground trading center. ”
As a few people went deeper and deeper, the more they could find that the scale of this underground black market should not be underestimated, especially if such a market could be opened in the Frontier War Zone, it can be said that the water in it is very deep, and Justin was a little worried about whether he would accidentally be overturned by the waves.
However, the development of the Thorn Collar and the enhancement of his own strength are urgent, and it is inevitable to face the skin of the tiger.
After walking for about ten minutes, Justin and the others finally arrived at the trading floor.
There are various types of slaves for sale in the trading hall, such as various warriors: human warriors, orc warriors, elven archers, sea warriors, etc., wearing only shorts, showing a muscular, majestic, feminine, or strange body;
There are also beauties of all ethnic groups, only with light veils on the chest and underneath, the heroic and beautiful beauty of the elf beauties, the delicate and charming beauties of the human race, and the orc beauties, except for the fox and snake tribes and other minority groups, cannot be called beauties.
However, it is precisely because of the scarcity of beast beauties, especially the charm of the fox clan and the thin waist of the snake clan, that human nobles are coveted, and even more popular than human beauties.
The beauties in the Sea Clan belong to the two advanced races of the Sea Clan, Medusa and Mermaid, and it is also very difficult for people at the Magister-level to hunt down the above two races. After all, the sea is vast, and even if you catch it, it is a problem to return safely on the sea.
There are also some special talents, including craftsmen, scholars, and craftsmen of all kinds, who are victims of the Terran siege war. After taking a city, sometimes the generals of the army would sell all the people of a city into slavery, and these people naturally could not escape. Although these people are not widely available, they are better at a low cost and can always meet people who are interested.
Justin was also dazzled by the beauty fans on the booth, after all, none of the people who could be placed on the booth for auction were vulgar fans.
Suddenly, Justin suddenly came to his senses and said with a wry smile: "The first time I came here, I was so curious." ”
Vivien had a little temper, so that she didn't want to pay attention to Justin, and pouted, as if she had been greatly wronged.
Justin had a big headache, and when he was at a loss, a person who looked like a supervisor walked up to Vivien and said, "Yo! Isn't this Vivian, the jade girl of Baoyun Pavilion, how can she have time to play in the underground black market?"
The reason why the director spoke in a sarcastic tone was entirely based on the fact that Vivien had caused a lot of trouble on the underground black market for the first time.
At that time, a mercenary took a fancy to a fox woman, and after buying it, he was going to have sex on the spot, regardless of so many people watching the excitement next to him.
Vivien happened to pull Slav to stand next to her, and it was Vivian who forcibly pulled Slav to the black market, saying that she wanted to see her for a long time. As a result, seeing this situation, he was furious, angrily reprimanded the mercenaries for their unscrupulous behavior, and indirectly ridiculed the underground black market for doing some unconscionable business, which made the host of the underground black market very dissatisfied.
The underground black market originally wanted to punish Vivien, but it turned out to be someone from Boyun Pavilion, plus Vivian and Slav both had a certain background. In desperation, the people in the underground black market suffered a dumb loss, and they remembered Vivian.
Justin was a little upset, because Vivian actually had a conflict with the underground black market, not to mention thinking about discounts, as long as it didn't affect normal transactions, thank God.
secretly shouted in his heart that he had made a mistake, but Justin couldn't sit idly by, no matter what, Vivien was with him, and he had to maintain Vivian's face.
Justin stepped forward and said, "I don't know how Vivien offended Your Excellency? I'm a merchant introduced by Vivian, and I thought that you both had a good relationship, and I was planning to buy slaves in large quantities, so since you have a conflict, then forget it." Vivien, let's go, let's not be angry here!"
Vivien naturally knew that Justin came to the underground black market to buy slaves in order to build the Thorn Collar, and at this time, in order to vent his anger, he was willing to give up this deal, which really moved Vivien!
As soon as the supervisor heard that there was a big business, his face softened a little, and he said to Vivian with a haha: "It was my fault just now, it was really a misunderstanding!"
Vivien didn't think much of herself, after all, Justin had made such a big sacrifice for herself, and she couldn't let Justin's business go wrong. Besides, as the child of a merchant family, the interests of the way of business take precedence, so he will naturally not be easily swayed by righteousness.
With a soft snort, Vivien regained her indifference.
The supervisor immediately introduced: "I am one of the directors of the underground black market, everyone calls me Kangdal, what business is there, Childe can talk to me." ”
Justin glanced around the trading floor and said indifferently: "My business is big, and it's not a deal. ”
Then Justin stopped talking.
Condal naturally understood what Justin meant, the hall was crowded with people, which was not conducive to discussing business. Then he led Justin and his party to a small living room.
Justin said straight to the point: "I just made a big deal with Bowen Court. Vivian heard that I was short of manpower, so she said that the underground black market business was big and had a good reputation, so she came to your place to bother me this time. ”
Condal listened to Justin's words and was immediately in awe. People who can do big business with Baoyun Pavilion can naturally do big business with the underground black market. Besides, Vivien had been accompanying the young man all the time, and had been focusing on the young man in everything, and it seemed that this customer had a lot of background.
Condal was immediately intrigued, and asked, "What kind of slaves does Childe want to buy, even if you don't have it now, you can quickly raise it." ”
"First of all, I want all kinds of craftsmen, especially those who build walls, and one or more people who are good at making lollipops," Justin said. Secondly, I need a group of fighters, all races, as long as they are physically fit and not more than 40 years old. Finally, I want a batch of women, so that they can be rationed to meritorious warriors in the future, and women who are too ugly or disabled should not be stuffed into me. I wonder if Director Condal is willing to do this business?"
When Condal heard this, he was overjoyed. Every time other nobles come here to buy slaves, in addition to satisfying their own ****, that is, buying some warrior guards, there are not many nobles who are willing to buy slaves for all kinds of handicraftsmen. Besides, listening to this person's tone, it seems that the purchase volume is very large, so it is easier to match with some people who are usually not easy to sell or cannot sell at a high price.
Laughing, Condal said: Childe does business so simply, I won't drag the mud and water, as long as Childe has a number, we can be satisfied.
Justin planned in his mind and said, "I don't buy too much at a time. ”
After listening to it, Condal suddenly didn't like it, damn, just now you said that you needed a lot of money, I thought it was a big family, but it turned out to say this kind of thing again, is it a coercion, then what kind of small living room, can't you buy it directly in the hall.
When Justin saw Condal's face turned uneasy, he knew immediately what he was thinking. Then he said: "I hope the chief manager will listen to me and then make a calculation." ”
Condal let out a sullen breath to see what the kid was going to say.
Justin said: "My world friend is the lord of the Thorn Lord, trapped in one place and unable to develop, I am willing to fund his development, of course, there are conditions, so it is inconvenient to say it explicitly." ”
After a pause, seeing that Condal was a little interested, Justin continued: "I guess you have all heard about the current situation of the Thorn Leader. In order to develop the Thorn Territory, I am going to buy a large number of slaves to supplement the labor needed by the Thorn Territory. ”
Taking another sip of tea, Justin said, "The first batch is expected to require a hundred Terran warriors, thirty Orc warriors, and five Elven warriors, no more than 200 craftsmen and technicians, and a thousand healthy male and female workers, I wonder if this number can satisfy Chief Kang?"
Listening to Justin's reports again and again, Condal was still very calm, but in the end, he was overjoyed, and the deal was made.
Kangdal laughed and said, "My brother's appetite is amazing! I don't think it's worth mentioning such a large amount, but I'm too obsessed with it, I'm really ashamed!
Justin said: "Business, it's negotiated, as long as my brother's price is fair, I will naturally place an order with my eldest brother." ”
Condal pondered in his heart for a moment before he said seriously: "Terran warriors, orc warriors, elven warriors, and craftsmen don't need to worry, my underground black market has sufficient supplies. And we have always been the best of the best for large customers, absolutely satisfying you. As for the large number of small workers, it is estimated that they will be raised within two days. ”
Justin smiled after hearing this: "Since Brother Kang is sure to eat this list, let's negotiate the price first." Brother Kang also said that the amount is very large this time, so the discount must not be less, otherwise next time don't blame the elder brother for not talking to the eldest brother about business. ”
Kangdal smiled heartily: "Childe is joking, I will definitely give Childe a discount to the greatest extent." ”
After another calculation, Condal said: "Childe, the price of small work is easy to say, we do not distinguish between men and women, but to ensure a certain ratio, the number of women will not exceed 40%, one silver coin, the elder brother needs a thousand, only 950 gold coins." ”
Justin glanced at Vivien and saw that she nodded in approval of the price, and nodded in agreement with the deal.
Condal smiled, "Our underground black market is definitely fair price. Terran warriors are divided into five classes according to their combat strength, the lowest fifth-class warriors are those who have been captured on the battlefield at the beginning of the battlefield and are added to fifty percent, one point five silver coins; fourth-class warriors are those who have survived on the battlefield for more than one year, and the fifth-class warriors are doubled, three silver coins are one; third-class warriors are those who have survived on the battlefield for more than three years, and they are tripled compared to fourth-class warriors, and nine silver coins are one; as for the top, due to other customers have reservations, there is no stock now, once there is a new source of goods, I will contact you immediately. Sixty fifth-class fighters, thirty fourth-class fighters, and ten third-class fighters, what do you think?
Justin nodded and said, "The territory has just started, these people are enough, and if there is a good one next time, you must notify the junior brother in time." ”
Condal laughed, "It must be. Thirty orc warriors are counted as if you have thirty silver coins, how about it?"
"As long as you don't fool me about quality," Justin said. ”
"If my brother is not satisfied, he can return it, and we will definitely make sure that the customer is satisfied," Condal said. ”
Justin smiled and didn't speak.
