Chapter 127: Hypocritical Housekeeper Weak Miss (4)
After finishing the meal, under the arrangement of Knauss, several merchants who had been selected came to the study.
After leading the people in, Knaus gracefully filled each person's teapot with new tea, and relentlessly withdrew under the eyes of Yixi who pleaded with him to stay.
The five merchants sipped their tea, unaware of the arrival of the crisis, and savored the faint fragrance of the tea.
- In their eyes, the young original body has no experience, so how can they talk about their plans for the future?
"Who's in charge of the Oriental deal?" As soon as Knaus left, Yixi withdrew the aggrieved expression on his face and looked at a few people with a wide range of eyes.
The momentum of the superior made the five businessmen stiffen slightly, and they consciously sat up straight, not daring to answer for a while.
In their memories, they had thought that they had seen the Duke of Faure's young lady with such an imposing attitude.
Seeing that the five people didn't speak, Yixi was not in a hurry, and the fingers of his right hand lightly buckled the table; With each snap, the hearts and livers of the five people trembled violently.
"The Duke is me." Among the five people, a merchant with a sword spike around his waist spoke, slowly put down the teacup in his hand and saluted Yixi dignifiedly.
"Duke, so am I."
"And me."
The other two spoke as the first merchant spoke.
Yixi's gaze moved up from the parchment, and after looking at the three of them lightly, he sighed, "How much the nobles like oriental objects, it's really hard for the three of you." ”
It is not an easy task to go to the East, from the time of agreement to departure, it takes half a year just to build a ship, and with the seasonal water flow and course, it is not only time-consuming, but also a lot of manpower.
"It's not hard, it's not hard." The three of them hurriedly shook their heads, they were experienced in handling things, and they still knew the courage that Yixi possessed, and they didn't dare to slack off.
"It's still thanks to your support, the Duke." The merchant opened his mouth to pat Yixi's ass, "If it weren't for the support of the Fuer family behind us, let alone going to the East, we wouldn't even be able to build a ship."
"Yes, yes, the duke is the ......," another merchant racked his brains to search for his own new words in Oriental studies, "is the vision...... Yes, foresight allows us to bring things from the East back for trading. ”
Listening to their flattery, Yixi smiled at the corner of his mouth and said to the three of them, "Porcelain and tea are the most in demand, right?" ”
The three of them looked at each other and nodded, "Yes." ”
The aristocracy likes to use porcelain from the East and tea from the East, even if the tea is bitter and difficult to eat when tasting the tea for the first time, the aftertaste of the fragrance makes the tea popular in the aristocratic circle once it is brought out, and even vaguely diverges towards the next class.
"Besides us, who is number one in the market?" Yixi continued to ask.
"The other families are not as good as us," said this, and the three of them looked up proudly, and then thought again, "However, there is a caravan from the East that has entered the city these days, and the things they bring are quite popular.
The aristocrats who loved oriental objects went to that house to buy them.
"A caravan from the east?" Yixi's lightly tapped fingers stopped, staring at the three of them slightly, "How many goods did they bring?" ”
The three of them thought for a while, "The boats on the side of the ferry are full, and it is estimated that there are a lot. ”
Caravanserais, if it weren't for the close partners, the brothers who guarded the wind by the side of the ship would not let people go around the ship, not even the nobles.
After all, no one wants their belongings to be clearly understood by their competitors.
When the Eastern Caravan appeared, the sensitive three had already observed their fleet from a distance in the high room, so they could fight what Yixi said.
"How much did they buy?" Listening to the words of the three of them, Yixi did not have a trace of panic on his face at all, and asked calmly.
"And half of them, they didn't sell." Touching his beard, Luo Sha replied, "The freshness of the nobles has passed, and their things have been stagnant for almost seven days, and the head of the chamber of commerce is worried about this matter. ”
"However, if we can't sell it, I heard that they are going to sell it at a low price, and it will affect our trading rules at that time."
The market can be disrupted by newcomers, which can lead to disruption.
If the news is true, then the most affected by them must be the property of the Fore family.
"Destroy the market, they don't want this market anymore." Yixi whispered, his eyes seemed to be thinking about something, and in the next second, Yixi's mouth suddenly turned and said to the other two businessmen who didn't say anything, "What about you, how about the benefits of a year?" ”
Suddenly called, the two of them trembled with fright, and hurriedly coughed twice to achieve the effect of moistening their throats, "As usual, no increase or decrease." ”
Yixi nodded, and opened the information of the two with his right hand, "With the development of the Chamber of Commerce, there will only be more and more children, in addition to those things that are formulated and sold by the father, you also have to think of some new ideas." ”
After speaking, Yixi picked up a pen with wide feathers and bright colors and wrote something on the paper, and threw it to the two of them at will, "Fresh things, oriental merchants will use them, and you must also learn from them to use them." ”
The two of them were flattered and picked up the paper skin that Yixi had thrown away and spread it out.
The two carefully looked at the handwriting written by Yixi to them, and the more they saw the end, the more emotions flowed out of their eyes, and finally there was an unstoppable respect in their eyes.
"We'll do what you tell us to do." Carefully put it in their pockets, the two said to Yixi; The two of them used to feel intimidated by Yixi just because of the momentum exuded by Yixi, so now they admire Yixi from the bottom of their hearts.
It was so well written that even the former Duke of Faure might not have thought of such a good idea when he was alive.
Seeing that the two of them looked suddenly enlightened, Yixi nodded slightly, "Where is President Dongfang?" ”
The three of Rosa bowed their heads in shame, "The president is too mysterious, we haven't seen it." ”
As the head of the Fore family, they never even heard the name of this caravan captain from the east, no matter what he looked like.
In the vast Faure family, this is one of the few things they feel ashamed of, and without even figuring out their own enemies, the Duke must feel that he is useless.
The three of them replied in anticipation, Yixi waved his hand, "The Fore family is a cooperation between you and my father, according to the little idea of this duke, hard work for you to implement, in addition. ”
Looking at the backs of the five people leaving, Yixi paused for a second and then continued to speak, "Panshwell has no right to interfere in the business of the Fowl family, just as he is not a distinguished guest of Duke Fowl. ”
After the words fell, the five of them stumbled outward, and then walked out casually, politely closing the wooden door of the study.
"They don't have any heart," the footsteps faded away, and finally the sound disappeared except for the rustle of the wind raising the treetops, and Qiqi jumped out.
As far as the merchant is concerned, it is profitable, no matter who they are, they can cooperate with him, Panshfort is in charge of the industry these days, and some places are afraid that they have already agreed with their interests, how could this group of shrewd merchants give up their own benefits because of Yixi's frivolous words.
"Petty profits," Yixi combed the neat hair around his ear and deliberately rubbed it up, "they are still somewhat useful now." ”
Don't rush them, I still need these people now, and in the future, they will stand up again.
Yixi said silently, his eyes reflecting the dark light were covered with a mist of tears under Qiqi's gaze.
"Master," Knaus politely knocked on the door and walked in, a close-fitting black suit holding in his right hand a contrasting pink plate engraved with the logo of the Fall family's industry.
Knaus stepped forward elegantly, put the plate on the table directly in front of Yixi, and then took off his gloves very familiarly and straightened Yixi's messy hair, "After a hard morning, the cake made by the new chef, the master will try it." ”
Hearing this, Yixi nodded, looked up at Knaus with a wince, and showed him a flattering smile, "They...... They, I told them what to do...... Did. ”
Knauth stopped his movements, one hand acting as a belt to gently bring Yixi's hair behind him, the corners of his mouth hooked into a smile, expecting Yixi to continue.
"They listened to your advice," Yixi said this, a crimson color appeared on Yixi's face that suited the situation at hand, and his chest rose and fell with excitement, as if he was excited that he could command others.
Qiqi, who had drilled into his consciousness before Knaus pushed open the door, was dumbfounded when he looked at Yixi's acting skills, and he didn't even notice that the elixir used to make jelly beans in his hand had fallen for a while.
His host really has the strength of a movie queen.
This thought came to Qiqi's mind, and when a cultivator was really a cultivator, he was really a talent!
The smile on Yixi's face was full of energy, and Knauss was infected, and he unconsciously hooked his lips and let out a heartfelt smile, correcting, "It's the master's suggestion." ”
It was your master's order to those merchants, in the capacity of Duke of Faure.
Yixi picked up the silver spoon, avoided Knaus's gaze, and lowered his head to eat the pudding in small bites, "That'...... What about those other people? ”
Yixi whispered, and asked Knaus; These five businessmen were not the only ones who came.
Knaus raised his head, his right hand holding the monocle in front of him, Sven elegant, "Those, please leave it to me." ”
"Okay," a smile flashed quickly in Yixi's eyes, and he agreed quickly.
The Fore family has a big business, and it will take a month for her, the current duke, to wait until she is busy and fully control the property, how busy it will be during this period.
Yixi said she didn't want to try.
"Yes...... Toil. ”
Yixi stumbled on the surface, but he was full of joy in his heart.
Knaus shook his head slightly, then packed up the porcelain bowl and walked out, "It's my honor to do things for my master." ”
"Master, a letter from the Chamber of Commerce," not long after he stepped out of the door, Knaus turned back and took out a wax stamp with the mark of a black bear from his pocket, he handed it over with both hands and said, "The Chamber of Commerce invites the master to gather in Momaishan Town in three days. ”
As he spoke, Knauss's pupils changed color, and he tended to calm down.
The Chamber of Commerce in his mouth refers to the Toy Chamber of Commerce specially generated for children, and as the Fuer family involved in this field, he naturally received an invitation from the president of the Chamber of Commerce.
- Although he knew that his invitation would be lost, and the new Duke of Faure would not be invited.
Yi Xi was not much surprised by Knaus's skill of knowing the contents of the envelope without opening it, and calmly broke the seal of the letter he handed over, and the black wax seal shattered from it, revealing the contents of the letter.
