Chapter 14: There are too many good things
"You go to a nearby town and find a random market, as soon as it is put out, there will be merchants coming to you to ask for a price, or you can go directly to those big chambers of commerce, they have deep pockets, they will definitely be able to eat so many goods."
Miss Rabbit reluctantly put the bag of pepper back on the table.
What is the most painful thing in the world in this world?
A: There is a large pile of gold in front of you, but it does not belong to you.
That's how Ilea feels right now.
It hurts, it hurts! In this cold world, sure enough, only the ancestors who can jump the grid still have a trace of temperature.
Thinking so, the girl reached for the necklace around her neck with one hand.
But then I heard Li Yu say again, "Where is the closest town to Green Field?" ”
"Black Rock City, it will take less than a day to come and go back and forth in a carriage." Miss Rabbit said, "You can go to Fausto and ask him to find someone to send you there." ”
"It's too much time in a day." Li Yu said, "I don't have so much effort to spend on the road. ”
The girl had already grasped the electronic pet egg, but she seemed to sense something and stopped.
"And I haven't been on this continent for a long time, I don't know the place well, and I don't know the merchants in Black Rock City, they will definitely lower the price with me."
"You can ask a few more."
"What if they join forces?"
"Well, your concerns aren't unfounded." Miss Rabbit seemed to smell the sweetness of the gold coin, but she was too close to Li Yu, and some things were too embarrassing to speak, but the hand that reached the necklace had already retracted.
"And the big question is, according to what you said, these peppers are worth a lot of money, how can I keep the wealth I get and my own safety after selling them?"
The girl swallowed her saliva and followed Li Yu's words, "You can hire mercenaries, but with such a large sum of money, those mercenaries can't be trusted, they are just a group of hungry wolves who see money, and they don't have any sense of honor at all." ”
Miss Rabbit pretended to be worried about Li Yu, while secretly observing someone's expression, expecting Li Yu to propose that she send someone to complete the transaction.
As a result, Li Yu said, "It seems that I have to find another helper." ”
"That's right, that's right." The girl chick kept nodding her head like pecking rice, and the gaze in her eyes became more and more excited.
"I think Jude is good, although he is greedy for money, he is very disciplined, he will do what he promises, and his martial arts are good, he can fight four or five people by himself before, plus me, even if he meets a team of six or seven people, he is not afraid."
Li Yu noticed that some people's true nature was exposed quickly, and in just a while, the saliva was about to drip down, so she still had to remind her a little and let her restrain herself, lest this guy get carried away after a while, completely succumb to instinct, and sit on the ground.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Miss Rabbit said as if someone had poured cold water on her, "Jude...... How could he do it?! ”
"Why can't Jude?" Li Yu asked rhetorically.
He ...... He's still doing things for me, how can he take other people's money? Ilea was in a hurry and came up with the perfect excuse.
"It's simple, you didn't pay him much anyway, so it's a big deal to let him quit his job here and concentrate on helping me sell pepper. To be fair, we can let him choose. ”
Miss Rabbit was dumbfounded, how could she make more money than doing big business with Li Yu, and fools know how to choose.
Seeing that the fat in her mouth was about to fly away, the girl was about to cry.
And Li Yu also felt that the heat was almost over, so he changed the conversation, "But Jude is only a mercenary after all, and he is not good at trading, and he has been staying in the wild before, and the way he communicates with people, huh...... It's special, so I think I'd better find someone else. ”
"Pick me." Ilea finally couldn't help but blurt out.
"I have a familiar merchant in Blackstone City, and I can get a price that is more satisfactory to you, and with the prestige of the Arias family in this vicinity, no one dares to hit us with an idea, if you don't worry, I can also send a knight to complete the transaction, and guarantee to help you get the money back, of course, this requires you to give up some profits, just a little bit."
Miss Rabbit finished speaking in one breath, and she only felt a burst of relief in her heart, as if the big stone that had been pressing on her chest had been removed.
"How much do you want to share?" Li Yu asked.
"Sancheng!" Miss Rabbit didn't think about it, and then seemed to be worried that Li Yu would not be satisfied, she explained, "Although I am a lord, except for when I am fighting, I usually send knights out to do errands and I can't let people work in vain. ”
"Transaction tax?"
"Yes, Black Rock City is the territory of the Gustav family, and all transactions in the city must be taxed by the Gustav family, especially the spices, they keep an eye on it, and send consuls to patrol the market every day."
"What is the tax rate?"
"Twenty percent." Miss Rabbit's eyes twinkled as she counted.
Li Yu immediately understood that this kid must have a way to evade taxes.
This is not the universe he is in, as long as the tax authorities want to check, there is basically no tax that cannot be found, and even in his universe, there are still many people who are evading taxes, let alone here.
In the Middle Ages, King Arthurstein of England ordered no one to buy more than twenty pence outside the town in order to collect taxes, and even God moved out, but the underground economy has been booming where the administrators have no eyes to see.
This is no exception. The Arias family has been rooted in the West for hundreds of years, and it would be strange if they couldn't even do the trivial thing of tax evasion.
But Li Yu didn't break it, anyway, he went to sell it himself, and this tax must be paid.
Instead of paying the Gustav family, it is better to cheapen Ilea, and in this way, he only needs to pay 10% of the income to make Miss Rabbit take care of everything from negotiation and sale to transportation.
It can be called a model of one-stop service, and with Ilea as a door-picker, the final transaction price must be higher than that of his own negotiation.
Maybe he will be able to make up for the thirty percent he has shared, and with the Arias family at his back, he won't get into any unnecessary trouble.
Li Yu was very satisfied with this deal, and as for Miss Rabbit, she was even more beautiful, and her heart was happy.
He couldn't help asking, "Is there a lot of black gold in your hometown?" Or maybe you bring some next time. ”
"Let's talk about it," Li Yu said, "I have other things to take, but when it comes to selling money, I still have some other goods here, and I'm a little unsure of their value, so you can help me take a look." ”
"What other goodies did you bring with you?" The girl became interested, "Can you compare it to pepper?" ”
"I guess so."
Li Yu took out another small bag from his pocket, and this time he directly poured the contents of the bag onto the table.
As soon as she saw the angular and dazzling glint on the table, Ilea's breathing stopped in an instant.
- Artificial gemstones. It is no different from the main chemical composition of natural gemstones, all of which are aluminum oxide, and then different colors are presented by incorporating different compounds, and the wholesale price on 1688 ranges from a few cents to dozens of dollars according to the size of the workmanship.
Li Yu bought a 10*10mm one, and since he started shooting ten, he shot ten, spending a total of 114 yuan four.
