85_85536 As a very typical and at the same time very dedicated businessman, after seeing these things, merchant John is like seeing the ancestor card, which is called an excitement. If William hadn't been pulling at him, he would probably have rushed up and nibbled on something.

"Ahhhh......h After that, he looked at William very excitedly. His hands trembled nervously. William couldn't help but be a little worried when he saw his state.

John the Merchant, whether he dies or not, originally didn't matter. The question is what to do with all the business he has agreed with him when he dies? 1,500 muskets, seven guns, a commercial district. So many old stuff out there. Such a big benefit made William feel that if the businessman John really couldn't do it, it would be no problem for him to give him artificial respiration.

Fortunately, in the end, the merchant John was relieved. He lowered his hands that were raised above his head in excitement. The body is no longer trembling. And unexpectedly. He looked a little lost.

"Is it because you don't bring enough money and can't buy many things, so you feel lost?" William thought to himself: "But with the other party's financial resources, how can you get a lot of money by adjusting positions and piecing together...... Or does the other party think that they don't make enough money? Want to squeeze money from those big-headed soldiers, and kidnap and cheat these things? That's not good, absolutely not."

Thinking of this, William looked at the merchant John with an unfriendly gaze. But John, the merchant, was still unaware. Still shaking his head constantly, he said, "It's a pity, it's a pity." It's a shame. "That's the case.

So William asked him, "John, my friend, what are you sorry for?"

John the merchant replied, "It is the booty, the booty, Mr. Knight." You said that all this loot was robbed by the rogues, and you robbed the rogues again, right?"

"That's right. William nodded, "Is there anything wrong with that?"

"Yes, of course. John the Merchant said, "The rogues know what is good and what is bad." In addition to the most basic gold and silver jewelry, there are works of art, porcelain, majolica, glassware, as well as precious fabrics and clothes. There are many other valuable things.

Expensive wood, furniture, marble sculptures, and other inconspicuous little things, such as precious stone brooches, buttons, they certainly don't have them. And in addition to that, those things that are gilded or inlaid with gold. Most of them don't have the time and patience to scrape the gold leaf off.

In addition, some wealthy merchants and noble lords liked to hide gold and silver in secret treasure vaults. Most of the rogues couldn't find those things. Think about it this way. We've lost a lot of money. ”

Listen to what the businessman John said. William first breathed a sigh of relief, and thought to himself: "Okay, as long as it's not a price cut." But he thought again. John, the businessman, had a point. If the rogues had been accompanied by fellows who were skilled in robbery, such as John the Merchant, and had had the time to spare, he would have had much more money this time than he had now.

Of course, compared to businessman John, who is a dead calculating and word-picking guy, William's mentality is very peaceful. Making money is not his purpose. Saving money is not his hobby either. On the contrary, spending money, and spending it beautifully, is his task.

The businessman John said this, and it was actually no different from nonsense. Because that can't happen. There is no use in saying this kind of "what if" except to ask for hardship. And anyway, this money is blown by a strong wind, and it is a windfall. Then don't worry too much, those who are content are always happy.

Seeing that the merchant John was still suffering from gains and losses for this little bit of wealth that he did not have. William was a little impatient. He said, "All right, my friend." Now is not the time to worry so much. I'm waiting for your reply. Or, I can go with some other businessman and talk to him. ”

"No, don't. Be sure not to do that. When John the merchant heard William's words, he was terrified:

"I'm willing to pay for it -- in fact, I'm going to say that I've got it all. Mr. Knight. Make an offer. I will never do you any wrong. At this moment, the merchant John had forgotten what he had thought about not dealing with William anymore - he knew that this thing was the compensation that William had given him after taking advantage of him in the payment for the goods and the construction of the commercial area.

Although William's existence is not like his predecessors. The two jujube people will take these things into their pockets. But as long as it works well, collect these things at the price of "old pawns". He's still making a lot of money. Thinking of this, the eyes of merchant John lit up suddenly. It's full of gold......

That's it. William relied on the bait used to handle the loot to stabilize the merchant John. And he drew him a big picture of the pie. That is, next, in foreign wars, the various loot obtained by "looting" through guò.

"You're not saying that the robberies who dislike these gangsters are crude. So you're missing a lot of things?" said William, "and it's okay. The next time I do it, I'll hire a professional merchant, a pawn shop manager, and the stewards and men of the various merchant groups to accompany me. When the time comes, my friend, you'll be able to get your hands dirty. Whether it's finding a secret cash locker, or carrying something that's hard to move, or something else. ”

After hearing William's words, the merchant John was very touched. Yes, yes, yes. Isn't this one of the reasons why I came to William to cooperate...... Although it is said that after William passed a layer, his profit was much less than expected. But as long as the operation is reasonable, then he still has the possibility of doubling his money.

In this way, the merchant John once again strengthened his determination to cooperate with William. And then he began the arduous process of valuing and bargaining for these goods, led by a few clerks hired by William, an account clerk, and two priests whom Father Peter claimed to be "well-informed."

Of course, none of this was William's concern. Just let your men play freely.

Of course, William knew that there were still students in the accounts under his command. Whether it is the ability of trolls to bargain, or the ability to discern the true price of goods, it is definitely no match for John, a businessman who has done this thing for a long time. As for the two priests. Maybe they really have enough knowledge, but William still doubts that these people who seem to have come out of the ivory tower of penance are really that down-to-earth.

But it doesn't matter, a little loss will suffer a little loss. There's no way around it. Wait until your own people are trained. We'll talk about that when the time comes.

Thinking about something like this. William left the storeroom. Walked in the direction of Charlotine's room. Now, it's time to check out Charlumi's homework.

Speaking of this, William had a headache. Because Charlumi was obviously not very fond of this knowledge—if it was anything about military affairs. Or maybe it's some of the fighting skills and cold weapons that William learned from his previous life. Even if William didn't want to teach this, Charlumi would pester him to learn.

However, it seems that mathematics, physical chemistry, management, finance and other knowledge, Xia Lumi is not interested.

Although with the excellent genetic inheritance of the Hereford family, Charlumie's mind and memory are much better than those of ordinary children. But she's seventeen now. The most golden age of learning has passed.

Plus her own inertia and boredom. So in the end, she can learn something famous. William is not easy to say. Or rather, he didn't think that Shalumi would be a good administrator, or a ruler.

"Perhaps next, we should change the way we teach Charlumi a little. Give up the plan to train her into a domestic political talent. Rather, let her be a general...... Merely...... Isn't that a little too dangerous?

After all, Xia Lumi is also a girl. William thought to himself. I felt a little hesitant. This is the first time since he came to this world that he has this feeling of uncertainty about specific issues.

"Perhaps, I should have heard what Charlumi herself was planning. William thought to himself. Then I went up the stairs and walked to the corner of the hallway. I saw a little maid running in the opposite direction in a panic, and then ran into Xia Lumi's room.

Such a simple and easy-to-understand thing, William can understand it without thinking about it. This little fool is on guard. And the object of vigilance is no one other than himself.

Other words......

"That guy is lazy again. William couldn't help but think. And after entering Charlumie's room, William was even more sure of this...... Although that guy looks like "I'm studying hard". But how could it be hidden from William's eyes? There were traces of flipping on the pillow next to her bed. William was sure that if he walked over and flipped through it, he would be able to dig out something from there that had nothing to do with studying
