04- Merchant

The smuggling business is not very easy to do.

But as long as there is enough profit in a business, someone will do it.

The people who do this work in Kawanyi are not only smugglers.

In fact, Sumeru's current regular army [Thirty Regiment] may be the real boss of these businesses.

They maintain the peace of the entire trading environment, and peace attracts merchants to come and go.

But Sumeru is not theirs.

The cornerstone of the [Order of Thirty] is also the desert people, who defected to the Akademiya early, and the contemporary sages saw a way to balance the desert people, so they gladly accepted these desert people.

Even so, the Akademiya's view of the [Group of Thirty] is relatively average.

In the future, this kind of harsh treatment ······ At the very least, the management of the [Group of Thirty] thought that it was a harsh treatment, and it also caused a due betrayal.

The Great Sage was captured by his own Gale Chronicler in his home Wisdom Palace, and to be honest, it sounds quite funny.

And the plot is also described clearly enough, because the sages are unwilling to give better treatment, they turned their backs on the interests of the sages and chose to pretend to be deaf and dumb, which gave a group of mercenaries in the desert a chance to directly protrude their faces.

That's the attitude of the Akademiya.

Sumeru is not a thing of the [Group of Thirty], and smuggling hurts the interests of the Sumeru official, or the Akademiya.

But the [Group of Thirty], which runs the smuggling business, will only make a lot of money because of this.

The loss of the Akademiya?

What does this have to do with me.

It is precisely because of the escort of the [Group of Thirty] that Kawanyi's business can be done.

Tadela skillfully pulled Rama to a place to hide.

Not all transactions can be put on the bright side, and these dark transactions are also the core business of the entire Kawanyi.

Rama looked at the businessmen around him.

Objectively speaking, none of these people seem to be in business.

Their bare arms were muscular and muscular, and their right hands were always under their white robes, holding the scimitars at their waists.

They are clearly more enthusiastic about their work than businessmen.

Rama didn't look too hard, and he quickly found a very familiar figure—though he hadn't seen each other since the crossing.

Dolly Sango Mahabayi.

"Oh, is the guest interested in any goods? Look, I've got all the good stuff here. ”

As a businessman, she really wrote the word "rich" on her face.

This coat was adorned with many brilliant gems, and such a big merchant obviously should not be in such a place.

But Dolly is such a businessman.

Her business spreads all over Sumeru and she has a huge fortune, but even so, she still likes to go to various places in Sumeru to promote her treasures in person.

She loves Mora and the process of earning Mora.

"Rama," Tadela's expression tightened, "this is ······"

"Unknown merchant, little falcon." Rama smiled and said, "We've never been to this place, and of course we can't meet anyone here, can we?" ”

"The guest has a point, but only if you have to pay all the mora here." Dolly smiled as well.

Some business can be done, but when you go out, it's best to act like you've never seen it.

Of course, the premise is that the money and goods are cleared.

The money is not clean, and you want to clear it twice, then you have to see if you can do this kind of thing.

Tadela regained her composure.

Again, this is a small deviation between the game and reality.

Dolly's caravans are spread across the territory of Sumeru, and the desert dwellers have always had to deal with two problems.

How to make money, how to spend it.

Needless to say, for these people in the desert, the way to make money is nothing more than hunting.

Hunt sandworms to make [high-grade essential oils], go to other places to hunt caravans, directly obtain goods, and then use them or resell them······

You can make money from these things, but how you spend it is a big problem

There are very few caravans in the depths of the Sand Sea.

Basically, it can be said that the farthest distance that a normal caravan can walk is Aru Village.

Further into the desert, no merchant would consider setting foot further.

Continuing inside, everyone knows that there are more bandits inside, and it is not a place to do business at all.

You can't trade peacefully with a group of bandits who live on hunting and almost exclusively on raiding.

So the question arises, Mora, you've got it, but how are you going to spend it?

You have to buy something for you to be able to spend money on, right?

Generally speaking, Kawanyi is the place where the wealth of the desert people is harvested.

The desert people brought their accumulated wealth and materials to Kawanyi to exchange for another material, and finally brought back to the tribe to maintain the development and survival of the tribe.

But there are also caravans that will arrive at the tribe one step ahead and take their things from the tribesmen.

Dolly's caravan is such a group of businessmen who put their interests above their risks.

It's hard not to be respectful of a merchant like this—she has the fist to trade with you without fear of risk, and she does have the ability to trade with you with the right amount of leverage.

So you should rightfully respect such a businessman.

If you look at it another way, Rama has a lot of ideas to make a deal with the merchant.

This is a big businessman who can do business and already has enough capital to make an impact on the world in many ways.

That's what she's worth.

But today he didn't say anything, just picked out some contraband and some special alchemical creations on the stalls.

Because Rama was not qualified to influence the will of the great businessman, he could only give advice to the other party, but it was far from enough.

The core of doing business is reciprocity, you either have technology or capital, of course, it is not impossible to rely on just one mouth.

Business is all about drawing pies.

As long as the pie you draw can attract investors, then of course it is also feasible.

Rama was confident to convince Dolly, but not today.

Without a sufficiently stable base and a sufficiently strong force, his cooperation with the other party will always be at a disadvantage.

This is not the best case scenario.

"If you want to gain some knowledge, I recommend that customers buy these canned knowledge."

Dolly suggests, "This way, guests will be able to grasp these things faster." ”

Her suggestion was not kind, it was purely for Mora.

Paper books, while expensive, are definitely no more expensive than canned knowledge.

And Dolly isn't unaware of the cost of long-term use of canned knowledge – but what does that have to do with her?

She won't use it.

She is just a businessman, and ensuring the quality of goods is already her biggest bottom line, so there is no need to care about the customer's situation.
