Chapter 59: From Traveling Merchant to Great Merchant
Edward. Ronis, an excellent traveling businessman, can certainly also be said to be a discerning speculator. When the Imperial Wall Kiyono was about to cut off the supply of Task Force Trixis, Ronis sold all his goods and bought cartloads of grain from Viña to ship them to the vicinity of Trixis. Buy low and sell high, special periods, special transactions.
In just a short period of vertical wall clearance, Ronis made a lot of money. From a small traveling businessman, he has become a big businessman who can own a two-story shop. For the invaders from Earth, Ronis is quite grateful.
However, Ronis did not choose to buy a two-story shop in Vinia to start his business, and when he learned that the huge expeditionary force of the Chinese people appeared in Lilia with a devastating force, Ronice immediately concluded that the empire would be destroyed, and he naturally knew the power of these Chinese people as he traded near Trixis.
High civilization against low civilization, strong against weak is often conquest and destruction. The empire was destined to be destroyed by the Chinese, and Ronis was not noble enough to bury the empire, so he rushed to Lilia under the rule of the Chinese with all his family property. He prepares to take refuge with Lilia's Huaxia and become a merchant living under the powerful Huaxia.
Ronis was justified in his decision, as he managed to avoid the devastating damage inflicted on the Imperial merchants by Afis during the expeditionary siege of Vinya. After arriving at Lilia, Ronia even hooked up with a Chinese magician and bought many of the goods produced in Lilia's newly built factories and shipped them to other cities.
China's small commodities are quite popular in the liberated areas, and the cost price of things that may cost one or two yuan can be directly sold in other cities in the liberated areas several times. If it is shipped to a farther place, such as within the empire, the price will be more than ten times, dozens of times higher.
In just a few dozen days, Ronis's wealth has multiplied many times without knowing it. The generous Ronis waved his hand and directly purchased a 3-story sea-view mansion abandoned by the imperial nobles in Lilia City because of Lilia's liberation. He bought a large 3-storey house in Lilia's city and began to form his own caravans to resell Lilia's goods to the major cities of the empire.
Everything seemed to be going well, but Ronis forgot that he was only a horned person, and it was natural that Huaxia would be noticed by taking in such a huge benefit. Soon, Lilia's various departments took turns to come to the door to find Ronis for an interview, and after finally sending Lilia away from the fire department, Ronis returned to his luxuriously decorated sea-view mansion with a painful face.
Thinking about his property in his heart, after being interviewed by various departments once, his property has shrunk by half, and Ronis has begun to worry a little about whether the Chinese will embezzle their property "reasonably and legally".
Soon, there was a knock on Ronis's door, who was in his 40s, an old bachelor, and had no friends, so it was obvious that his relatives and friends would come to visit him. Although he was a traveling merchant before, he was also poor and white, and he didn't have much heart to find a wife. At most, go down to the tavern and look for call girls, or play with orc-eared slaves, which is Ronis's simplest hobby for women.
When Ronis opened the door, he saw a Chinese man in a black suit standing at his door. Behind him were several Chinese soldiers wearing stab-proof suits and armed with spears.
In order to integrate into Lilia and the rule of the Chinese people, Ronis was quite diligent in learning the language of advanced civilization such as Chinese, recalling the pronunciation of Chinese, and said in Chinese that he was not very fluent: "Sir, is there anything wrong?" ”
"Edward. Ronis, Horned People, 43 years old, single. He was a traveling merchant. Because of a few transactions, he has a lot of valuable wealth. Moved to Lilia a little over a month ago, where she was engaged in entrepot trade. The Chinese man in the suit patted Ronis on the shoulder and continued: "In addition, your Chinese is not bad, have you practiced hard?" ”
The man walked straight into Ronis's house, Ronis didn't dare to stop it at all, although he wondered what entrepot trade was, but now was not the time to ask this, nodded and said, "Long...... Sir, you've won the prize. Thinking about which department this is the Huaxia master, his family property is about to be checked by these Huaxia masters, and he asked with a bitter face: "I don't know what the chief has to do when he comes to the cold house?" Is there anything Xiaomin can cooperate with the chief? ”
The man in the suit sat directly on Ronis's sofa, the green sand hair was furry, and when he pressed it gently, it was soft and elastic, and it was extremely comfortable to sit on. An exquisitely crafted Horn Terran-style carpet is spread on the floor, and next to it is a "crackling" fireplace burning wood, which is very warm.
The man in the suit smiled and said, "Can't you come to your house and sit if there's nothing to do?" ”
Ronis said with sincere fear: "No, no, no, if the chief wants to come, he can come at any time." ”
The man in the suit smiled: "You are so polite, but I am not a chief, I am just an ordinary person working for the republic." ”
Ronis hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, sir, you are a chief in the eyes of the small people. ”
Just kidding, Lilia, who is ruled by the Huaxia people, can only be regarded as an inferior person in the horned human race like herself, no matter how the superior person in front of her says that he is an ordinary person, but in front of Ronis, he is also a superior person. You must know that in the Empire, no matter what happens to the slaves of the Orc-Ear Clan, the beggars of the Horned Tribe. Then he must also be a slave, he must be inferior, he must submit to the feet of the horned beggars, and he must grovel to live.
The man in the suit laughed dryly, and then said, "Okay, Ronis, I didn't come here today to find you for anything else, you are the best Horned Terran merchant in the entire Lilia, right?" ”
Ronis's heart jumped suddenly, I don't know what this Huaxia lord in front of me means, recently Lilia's big businessmen like him have been interviewed by Lilia's various departments in turn, and the loss is not small, isn't it that he wants to gnaw a piece of meat from himself again, Ronis said cautiously: "No, no, Xiaomin is just eating with a mouthful." ”
The man in the suit laughed: "Ha, you won Lilia's sea-view room after eating a mouthful?" You're too easy to eat, aren't you? ”
Ronis has a bad heart, it seems that he said the wrong thing, if the other party really confiscates all his property and lets him really go to eat, it will be miserable, and he is sincerely afraid: "Xiaomin said wrong!" Xiaomin is wrong! ”
The man in the suit got up from the sofa at this time, slowly walked to Ronis's side, and whispered, "You are indeed not wrong, you are just eating with a mouthful." Of course, it is eaten under the Chinese Republic. ”
The meaning of the man in the suit couldn't be simpler, as long as he eats under the control of Huaxia, then Ronis is absolutely full, if he dares to do something sorry for Huaxia, then Ronis can only go to the street to eat. Ronis quickly searched in his mind, it seems that he hasn't done anything against Huaxia's interests recently, why did Huaxia people come to the door?
The man in the suit looked at Ronis, who was already sweating profusely, and said slowly: "We now need an excellent Horned Terran merchant like you to become a chamber of commerce to help us find out the news in the form of selling things." Of course, the management of the Chamber of Commerce will arrange for people to come in, and you just need to keep recruiting other Horned Terran merchants to join and provide us with information. With us here, we guarantee that you bastards will be able to eat fat in a few days. ”
Although the Chamber of Commerce can collect intelligence, the real role is still used by Huaxia to win over this group of businessmen. Merchants are all profit-seeking, and give a part of the benefits to the merchants of the horned people, believing that they will naturally be loyal to Huaxia, follow Huaxia, and indirectly help Huaxia control the entire empire. You must know that even the training of administrative officials in China itself is working overtime, which is completely insufficient for a huge empire. Therefore, in many places, the only way to do this is to take the strategy of horns and horns, or the ears of beasts.
As for the aristocracy of the empire, Huaxia did not think too much about wooing, and the existence of the nobles itself was not tolerated in Huaxia. This is the cancer of feudal society, what is the use of it now, to challenge the authority of the republic? Of course, nobles like Vivi and Knight Ji still need to be reused.
Hearing this, Ronis's eyes widened, and all this before made sense, why he and those big businessmen of the horned people were constantly looking for trouble in Lilia. It turned out that he wanted to give everyone a dismissal, and then let everyone surrender to Huaxia and form a chamber of commerce led by Huaxia people to engage in some things.
This is a good thing, since the Chinese people have found themselves, it means that the Chinese people have recognized their strength in a certain aspect. If you agree to come down, then you can be regarded as a person with a "Chinese identity", and you will be promoted from an inferior person to an intermediate person. This was a great thing, and Ronis didn't think that the other big businessmen would refuse, so he immediately replied: "Sir! Xiaomin is the head of the Chinese adults! Huaxia wants Xiaomin to go to the left, and Xiaomin will definitely not go to the right! ”
The man in the suit nodded with satisfaction, Ronis's comprehension ability was very strong, and then said: "Okay, I came here to tell you about this big businessman, these days, you big businessmen of Lilia will discuss in the city by yourself, and set up the Chamber of Commerce, and our people will also come over at that time." ”
Seeing that the man in the suit was about to leave after finishing his errands, Ronis hurriedly asked, "Sir!" What do you call it!? "If you can put on the thigh of a Chinese man, then Ronis will definitely make a big deal.
However, the man in the suit left straight away with a group of Chinese Association soldiers, and the voice of the man in the suit came from outside the door: "Me? You don't need to know my name, I'll look for you when I need you. ”
