Chapter 184: You Lost? I didn't, blood earned!
The reason why Audrey suddenly collected extraordinary properties and extraordinary materials on a large scale was mainly because the Hall family needed to change-
Alfred has already earned a place to become a demigod, which means that the Hale family will become the top family in the entire kingdom of Rune. And such a family must have a corresponding background.
However, the Hall family, which has only been inherited for hundreds of years, obviously does not have enough background, and before that, they did not have many extraordinary people, and they were completely concentrated in the two paths of arbitrator and lawyer, and the strongest of them was only Sequence Seven.
And this is obviously not enough for a family that is about to have a demigod. Just like Duke Negan, he is protected by the Sequence 6 Extraordinaire sent by the Storm Church, and he still has a Sequence 5 'secretary' to protect him, and this 'secretary' is cultivated by Duke Negan's family.
The Hall family lacks such a background, so it can only be cultivated slowly from now on.
And fortunately, the Hall family, although lacking in heritage, is not short of money. As the nation's premier banker, Count Hall's wealth ranks among the top three in the entire kingdom of Rune! In addition, Earl Hall also has his own private bank, which he can borrow from his own bank even if he does not have enough money.
Therefore, the goal of the Hall family is very clear, which is to exchange money for time!
They want to use their existing wealth to collect as many potion recipes and extraordinary materials as possible, so as to cultivate a large number of extraordinary people. And while ensuring that the paths of the extraordinary are abundant enough, it is also necessary to improve the sequence they are in as much as possible.
But neither Count Hall nor the soon-to-be demigod Alfred had enough connections to collect enough mid-tier potion recipes and the extraordinary materials needed, which was what the Hall family was worried about at the moment.
So when she learned of this, Audrey immediately thought of the Tarot Meeting-
The members of the Tarot Club are strong enough and have a wide enough network.
On top of that, they are short of money!
Whether it is Mr. 'World' or Mr. 'The Hanged Man', they are desperately short of money. If you don't lack money, you don't need to borrow from yourself. Their connections ensure that they can collect enough potion recipes and extraordinary materials to be delivered to her through Mr. Fool.
The only problem was that Audrey was worried that it would cause Mr. Fool to be unhappy.
What she didn't know, however, was that it was the least thing to worry about, because Mr. 'Fool' was very excited right now.
Without him, there is only a lack of money!
Klein suppressed his emotions and manipulated the 'world' in a hoarse voice:
"Miss 'Justice', what do you want from these items? And what kind of reward can be given? ”
Audrey thought for a moment and spoke:
"I will spend 200,000 gold pounds to buy extraordinary materials in large quantities, any way can be. There are no special restrictions, but the 'procurement' of potion recipes will be given to Mr. 'Lover'. But no matter what the way of extraordinary materials, I can buy them in large quantities. ”
After a pause, Audrey continued, "As for the reward, how about 5% of the value of the items you provide?" ”
Klein's eyes flickered, no matter how many extraordinary materials and extraordinary properties he had, Miss Audrey could buy them in unlimited quantities, and this was undoubtedly a sure-fire deal!
As for the 5% pay, it doesn't sound like much, but it's actually not a lot.
First, this kind of transaction is volume, and the reward for the unit price will definitely be lower. Second, 5% of the reward is not too low, Klein originally commissioned Emlyn to buy the Thousand-Faced Hunter's brain mutant pituitary and its blood, which cost a total of 2,300 pounds, in addition to an additional 150 pounds of remuneration for Emlyn, which is only equivalent to 6.5% of the total price of the item!
As for Miss Justice handing over the 'procurement' of potion formulas to Ember, she must have her own intentions, but Klein didn't plan to make money by selling potion formulas, after all, potion formulas are completely reusable, and they are completely a one-shot deal.
Moreover, Klein himself has a batch of extraordinary traits that can be sold, and the proceeds from this part alone have exceeded 10,000 gold pounds!
Forth came to his senses, and suddenly spoke:
"But I don't think you need the Apprentice Path's potion recipe either, but I have some Apprentice Path's extraordinary materials in my hand, do you want it?"
"Yes!"
Audrey didn't hesitate and said, "As much as you want." ”
When she first met Miss Forthth, she even regretted that she had not chosen the apprenticeship route, but of course she understood how easy it could be.
Forthth kindly reminded:
"You have to think clearly, the apprenticeship path is not capable of actual combat before Sequence 6."
Audrey smiled and groaned:
"It doesn't matter, if you train a few more extraordinary apprentices, there will always be a sequence 6."
Furth no longer dissuades, what else can she say when you say so?
At this moment, a thought came to the minds of most members of the Tarot Society at the same time: being rich is really capricious.
The upside-down hangman's eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly asked:
"Do you need magical items?"
"Yes."
Audrey nodded, but after thinking about it, she added, "But not everything, as long as those types of abilities are practical and do not have much side effects, and the corresponding reward can also be increased to 10%. ”
"No problem."
The upside-down hangman bowed slightly, not surprised by Miss Justice's answer.
But anyway, he knows a craftsman friend who has a very good ability to make magical items, and he is not worried about the lack of supply of magical items.
The supply and sales are not worried, he only needs to be a middleman to sacrifice things to the fool, and this kind of sure business is not done in vain.
The little 'sun' hesitated for a moment and then spoke:
"Should I have access to some extraordinary materials that I can use to pay off my debt to you, Miss Justice?"
"Absolutely."
Audrey smiled lightly, and at the same time kindly reminded, "I know that Mr. Sun, you don't need gold pounds, but you can accumulate them first." When needed later, you can use the accumulated gold pounds to trade with other members. ”
Xiao Sun thought about it for a while and felt that it made sense, so he immediately agreed.
Soon, the others also finalized some details of the deal, and the Tarot Club was gradually coming to an end.
Klein tapped his fingers lightly on the tabletop, attracting the attention of the others, and his gaze looked around, and said calmly and without waves:
"That's all for today's meeting."
——
Queens, a luxury villa for the Earl of Hall's family.
The icy air was kept out of the windows and walls, and the room was warm and the fireplace was elegant.
And on that delicate and gorgeous luxurious bed covered with velvet quilt covers, the girl was sleeping quietly with a smile.
In fact, her soul has long gone to the gray mist of 'Cloud Nine'.
When she heard the sound of Mr. Fool dissolving the party, Audrey's eyes appeared with a crimson light, and her body felt a slight sense of falling.
Immediately afterward, her vision returned to normal, and she saw the familiar ceiling.
The corners of her mouth drew a smile of pleasure, but she quickly restrained herself and patted her cheek.
"Audrey, can't be too proud!"
She quickly got out of bed, came to the door and gently opened it, and Susie, the golden retriever, squatted faithfully in the hallway to guard the door for her.
Seeing Audrey come out, Susie wagged her tail at her.
"Susie, keep up."
Audrey beckoned to Susie, then looked at Anne, the valet who was also guarding the door, and asked, "Anne, where are they, Daddy?" ”
Anne bowed slightly:
"Earl Hall and Lord Alfred in the study."
Audrey blinked, turned and walked towards the study on the second floor.
And Susie, who was half-squatting on the ground, also stood up and followed with a wagging tail.
Knock knock!
There was a knock on the door of the study, interrupting the father and son of Earl Hall, who were communicating.
Count Hall frowned slightly, but Alfred on the other side gave him a look, which immediately made Count Hall's expression helpless, and he shouted softly:
"Audrey, come in."
"Click!"
Audrey gently pushed the door open, and Earl Hall sat in front of the study, where the two brothers, Alfred and Hibbert, sat on the sofa.
Audrey blinked, obediently came to Count Hall's side to rub his shoulder, and asked softly:
"Dad, are you worried about something?"
Count Hall did not intend to hide it from his daughter, shook his head and said:
"Alfred is about to become a demigod, and the family must also cultivate enough extraordinary people to support the foundation of a demigod family. Your brother and I have each contacted the channel to buy extraordinary materials, but their asking price is too harsh. ”
Audrey asked curiously:
"How much do they ask?"
Count Hall sighed:
"On the basis of the market price, the price will be increased by 50%."
“50%?”
Audrey frowned slightly, this asking price can't be said to be ruthless, it can only be said that it is deliberately cheating the Hall family!
Earl Hall's channel is undoubtedly the royal family, while Alfred's channel is the military, both of which have more than enough demigods. It is because they are not worried about the Hall family, which only has a demigod quota, and even wants to take the opportunity to extort a fortune.
In the final analysis, it is because the Hall family is not deep enough and has a long history.
Alfred comforted:
"They're just asking for a sky-high price, and then talking about it should be able to bring the price below 30 percent."
Count Hall shook his head slightly:
"It's still too high."
The Hall family is not short of money, but that doesn't mean they're happy to be blackmailed.
As a qualified banker, Earl Hall understands this. Once they compromise on this deal, the other party will only get worse! Even if they can reduce the price to 30% this time, the other party will increase it back to 50%, or even 60% next time!
Audrey asked suspiciously:
"Dad, brother, since their asking price is too high, can't we find someone else to cooperate?"
Alfred sighed and said helplessly:
"Audrey, you're thinking too simply. I know you're talking about the Wild Extraordinary's gathering, but the Wild Extraordinary's possession of extraordinary materials is quite limited, and it may not be what we need. Even if you attend 10 meetings, you may not get what you want in one of them. If you want to cultivate extraordinary people on a large scale, you can only find forces that hold extraordinary materials on a large scale. ”
"The extraordinary materials required for the two avenues of arbitrator and lawyer in the hands of the family are almost exclusively concentrated in the hands of the royal family and the military. So we had no choice but to work with them. ”
Audrey asked rhetorically:
"Why can it only be these two paths? Wouldn't it work otherwise? ”
Alfred couldn't help but laugh and patiently explained:
"First of all, we don't have any other potion recipe on our hands. Secondly, and again, we need to buy extraordinary materials in large quantities, and the wild extraordinary people can't meet this condition, unless we go to those hidden organizations to cooperate. But the consequences of working with a covert organization are not something we can afford to bear, and Prince Edsak is a lesson in this. ”
Audrey blinked:
"Potions, we've got them."
"Huh?"
Alfred was stunned for a moment.
Hibbert reacted immediately, coughed dryly, and said:
"In fact, before you returned, Alfred, I bought a portion of the potion recipe and privately cultivated some extraordinary."
Alfred raised an eyebrow slightly and asked:
"Where did you get your potion recipe?"
Hibbert glanced at Audrey and reminded him without a trace:
"You know this person, too."
Alfred was stunned for a moment, and then followed Hibbert's gaze to Audrey before finally reacting.
Alfred clenched his right hand into a fist to his chin and asked:
"What are the ways Ash can provide potion recipes?"
Audrey smiled and said:
"All pathways, but up to Sequence 5."
"That's enough."
Alfred's frown soothed, he hadn't planned to get a Sequence 4 or higher potion recipe.
Count Hall asked quietly:
"What about extraordinary materials? Potion recipes aren't a problem, but Ash can't provide extraordinary materials, right? ”
Audrey was prepared and said seriously:
"I have a friend who can provide us with a lot of extraordinary material, and he is not limited to one route."
Earl Hall pondered for two seconds and asked:
"What about the price?"
His bottom line is a 20% markup, and if Audrey's 'friend' gives the right price, he can't consider it.
As for who this friend is, he knows everything.
"A 5% increase on the market price."
“5%?!”
The three fathers and sons of Earl Hall glanced at each other, and their eyes were a little incredible.
Only a 5% increase? What are you doing for charity?
Audrey emphasized:
"Yes, 5%, but my friend has a requirement, and that is that the overall turnover should not be less than 200,000 gold pounds."
Yes, she didn't actually get Count Hall's approval to purchase the extraordinary materials, in fact, she just wanted to determine the source of the goods first, and then use the source to ask Earl Hall for payment! Although there was no expression on the surface, it was the first time to do such a thing, and it was a prelude, and Audrey was actually a little nervous in her heart.
She was inspired by a short story by Russell the Great:
There was a young man who came to the bank and said that he was the son-in-law of a wealthy man and wanted to be the vice president of the bank. He went to the rich man and said that he was the vice president of the bank and wanted to be his son-in-law. Once the two sides verified, it was found that the situation was true. So he became both the president of the bank and the son-in-law of the rich.
Of course, it doesn't matter if Earl Hall doesn't agree-
Audrey still has 400,000 gold pounds in her own small coffers, and she can use her own money to fill this hole, and she will not let Tarot suffer.
Count Hall suddenly frowned:
"200,000?"
Count Hall did not hesitate to say:
"200,000 is not enough, Audrey, tell that friend, no matter what the way of extraordinary materials, how much to receive!"
Only 5% of the price is raised, and you must buy as much as you want. Even if they don't need it, with the connections of the Hall family, they can sell it to other nobles at a higher price. Buy at a 5% markup, and sell at a 50% markup, making sure you don't lose money!
