Chapter 65, Negotiations
"I have to say, your way of taking care of slaves is really bad, uncle, you say yes."
"Uh...... Don't you think that's a bit too much? β
The two guards beside the old man almost made a posture that could attack the galaxy at any time.
When the momentum of the two of them alone is not enough, let the galaxy put into the eyes.
While ignoring the two guards, Xinghe looked at a door.
It was the exact opposite of coming in.
"What? In this atmosphere, are you going to call more guards? β
Xinghe, who said this sentence in a calm tone, made the old man notice something, and his face immediately turned white in the turn of his breath.
"Wait...... Please wait a moment!
What are you doing here?
Don't hurry up and take your hands off the weapon! β
The two guards hurriedly let go of their weapons, then bowed and apologized to the old man.
"Oh, I'm really sorry, the people in the store were rude just now, please understand."
"yes, it looks like everyone earned it this time."
"Earn ...... Earned? β
Xinghe pointed his finger on the table with a sharp gaze.
"If it comes to that, all of you will die here.
If you can avoid that situation, you can save your life, so you have earned it. β
As soon as these words came out, everyone except Xinghe thought in a wordless way, or stared at Xinghe like this.
"Huh...... Lord Galaxy, you really like to joke about-
So, how much do you think she's worth? β
A silver coin between Galaxy's fingers was tossed onto the table.
ββ¦β¦ One piece? Thisβhow is this possible!
I don't understand, or is that stupid in itself! β
"Her current value can only be worth so much."
"No, but that's it...... I'm definitely going to lose a lot of money, so this deal ......"
Xinghe replied before he could finish his words.
"Then let her pay for it.
The amount is still 500 gold coins, and I will pay you 10% interest every month. β
Miscellaneous! The old man examined the dark fairy girl.
"Lord Star, Lord Xinghe...... This slave, she is completely incapable of paying this amount. β
"If she's worth five hundred gold coins, she'll pay for it."
Xinghe's whimsical request made the old slave trader regain the calm that a merchant should have.
"So, if she can't pay it, can Lord Xinghe become a joint guarantor?"
Since regaining his calm attitude, the old man's business-style smile has also emerged.
The deal, which should have been interrupted, forced Galaxy to continue the negotiations.
"It doesn't matter if she can't pay it.
But I also have a premise here, that is, when this guy finishes paying on his own, that is, when I come to accept your eyes. β
"My eyes ......?
What are you going to do with it? β
In the silent room, only Xinghe was left with a smile on his face.
"Do you need to elaborate on this?
Of course, I'm going to transplant it to the dark goblins over there.
After all, your eyes look quite convenient, uncle. β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦ I know, I'll sell one.
My condition is that this dark goblin will pay 500 gold coins, and 10% interest will be paid every month.
If you can't pay for it, please send her back to my shop as a slave. β
As soon as he was halfway through, the old man's expression management was a little out of control.
"I hope you don't regret doing this kind of thing in the future."
Xinghe snorted haha.
"That's a pity, it's very convenient.
Now that the deal has been negotiated, you can arrange for this dark goblin to take a bath first.
Oh, and don't forget to dress her in some more decent clothes. β
Miscellaneous!
The two guards glared at Xinghe with a vicious expression all the time.
"Go ahead, as Lord An Xinghe said."
With the old man's orders, the two of them reluctantly took the dark fairy girl out of the room.
"Uncle, what you just said, I will regret it."
"How?"
"But I don't think so, I think you're going to thank me......"
Then, Xinghe took out three bottles of stamina supplements from the prop bag and placed them on the table one by one.
"Thanks? You're really weird - huh, this is a stamina tonic? β
The old man looked at the stamina tonic suspiciously, and his magic power suddenly widened as his eyes gathered.
This is because he found the difference in these stamina supplements.
"Come on, uncle, that's the next thing."
The slave trader Ma Ke started from scratch, and opened nineteen slave merchants, eighteen prop shops, and thirteen magic prop shops in the city of Kama, and recently even opened a shop in Wangdu.
He has been able to succeed to this point because of his inherent skill "Identification Eye".
This inherent skill allows you to see items in more detail than "identification".
Ma Ke, who uses the "Identification Eye", relies on his extraordinary diligence and evaluation ability to keep doing business.
Before you know it, you have become one of the few big businessmen in Karma.
"Oh, oh......"
In terms of examining objects, Marco believed that he was better than anyone else, but now he let out a deep groan.
And that's why.
Stamina Supplement (Level 7) (Effect: Has a recovery effect (Small))
Stamina Supplement (Level 7) (Effect: Has a recovery effect (Small))
Stamina Supplement (Level 7) (Effect: Has a recovery effect (minor))
These three bottles of stamina supplements are simply placed on the table.
Perhaps to others using identification skills, they are just stamina supplements with no special features.
However, for Ma Ke, who has the skill of "identifying eyes", his opinion is completely different.
Stamina Supplement (Level 7) (Effect: Has a recovery effect (30%))
Stamina Supplement (Level 7) (Effect: Has a recovery effect (45%))
Stamina Supplement (Level 7) (Effect: Regenerate (10%))
Note: Due to the different makers, even the same items will have different effects.
This is a matter of course among alchemists, blacksmiths, and merchants, but the effectiveness of these stamina supplements is very poor.
The stamina supplement (level 7) purchased from the Alchemy Guild in Marco's magic item shop has an effect of about 30%.
In other words, this first bottle of stamina supplement is the stamina supplement that is usually sold in stores.
So what can make him feel that there is a problem is this second bottle of stamina supplement.
It's as effective as 45%, which is 1.5 times more effective than the stamina supplements sold in your store.
(If this bottle of stamina is the same as the stamina supplement sold in your own store, and it is circulated in large quantities for ten silver coins, then the consequences will be ...... οΌ
As for this third bottle of stamina supplement, there is only a stamina supplement with one-third of the effect of commercially available stamina supplements.
For the appearance of such inferior goods, Marco did not understand the meaning.
ββ¦β¦ Where did you get this bottle of stamina supplement? β
The old man pointed to the second bottle.
"I think you've found out."
Xinghe said as he picked up the bottle of stamina tonic.
"Except for this first bottle of stamina tonic, which is sold in the old man's shop.
I made the remaining two bottles of stamina, so I wanted them to be sold in my uncle's shop.
Three thousand bottles of stamina tonic with high effect a week, and five thousand bottles with poor effect ......"
"This is impossible, because such a move is undoubtedly an enemy of the Alchemy Guild.
And even if you have a high effect of physical supplements, you can't sell them at all. β
Xinghe said as expected.
"For the Alchemy Guild, you just need to say that there is a fool who tells you to sell them for the same price, and you deliberately display these stamina supplements next to the physical strength supplements produced by the Alchemy Guild in order to let him know how many catties he weighs.
Besides, I've heard that the self-esteem of the members of the Alchemy Guild is quite high.
So why don't you take advantage of that, as long as you tell them that, I don't think they will say anything more. β
(In that case, it might work.) οΌ
The balance in Marco's heart was already inclined to buy stamina supplements from the galaxy.
If he refuses Galaxy and asks him to take this business to another store, his losses will be incalculable.
Next, I have to think about how to buy physical supplements cheaply from the galaxy.
"The benefits of this are not yet obvious, so let me think again.
Besides, if I want to buy it, I will only buy physical supplements with high effects. β
Xinghe took the stamina tonic in front of him and looked at the old man through the bottle.
"It's useless to pretend to think about it, uncle, you can't refuse this business.
Therefore, the purchase price of the physical strength supplement that the old man bought from the Alchemy Guild is seven silver coins per bottle, right?
The high-potency stamina supplement I sell is five silver coins, and the low-effect stamina tonic sells for fifty copper coins. β
"Five, five!"
Galaxy inquired about the purchase price of physical supplements in Marco's store in advance.
Marco was deeply impressed by this, but he didn't care so much about it, and when he learned the offer, he was already calculating the profit.
And if you can sell it cheaply, you can monopolize the sales market of urban karma's magic supplements.
(Even if it is a tonic with poor effect, if the purchase price is fifty copper coins, then you can still make enough profit.) οΌ
"The stamina tonic with high effect sells for ten silver coins just like the stamina tonic purchased from the Alchemy Guild.
If it's sold too cheaply, it might be picked on by someone.
The next step is to hire a few tight-mouthed guys and spread the word of mouth that the stamina supplements purchased from me are very effective, and then adventurers and mercenaries will come in droves to buy them. β
"I see, it means that it is deliberately sold at the same price, as for the authenticity of the effect.
The adventurers and mercenaries themselves will publicize it.
And then this poor stamina supplement also has some meaning. β
Xinghe put the physical supplies in his hand back on the table and pushed them in front of the old man.
"What do you think most of the customers who buy stamina supplements are?"
"Needless to say, the first and most common purchases are adventurers.
Next up are mercenaries, knights, and travelers. β
"What about the citizens?"
"Hehe, almost no citizen will buy a stamina supplement that costs as much as ten silver coins.
In addition to the objects just mentioned, there are also wealthy classes such as merchants and aristocrats.
This is not going to change without some war or something. β
"Isn't it clear to you that the citizens can't afford to ask for a stamina supplement that costs as much as ten silver coins.
But if you think about it, if you sell stamina supplements that can be bought for only 30 copper coins, what will happen to the results?
If that's the case, even if the effect is good or bad, don't you think they'll buy it just in case? β
"Yes! It is, indeed, if this is the price...... Citizens are likely to buy ...... No, yes would definitely buy. β
"Even if there are a lot of adventurers in the city of Kama, there are only a few thousand at most.
But the number of citizens is several times or dozens of times that of them. β
When he heard this, Marco's eyes staring at the galaxy seemed to jump out.
After all, this is an item that has only been sold to a certain customer group until now, and it may become a necessary item for all customers in the future.
Just thinking about the benefits of this made Marco's instinct as a businessman involuntarily excited.
