Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Wang Qinian was accompanying the fat merchant to continue to buy things, but he was no longer buying goods for business, and the fat merchant planned to buy something else in the market as a gift for his wife.

"Owen, don't you really think about my construction? I can add another two percent to the salary I promised yesterday. The fat merchant said as he looked at it, with a little anticipation in his voice.

"Thank you, Mr. Cram, but I want to find my friend. Once again, Wang Qinian rejected the kindness of the fat businessman Crumb.

After getting along for the past few days, Wang Qi's chronology has come up with an excellent business assistant, which makes Crumb quite satisfied, and the occasional occasions that require translation have become more and more proficient, almost to the point of simultaneous interpretation in the world before the crossing.

This kind of excellent talent impressed Mr. Crumb, and decided to hire Wang Qinian as a formal business assistant, with a salary of forty eagle silver coins or two eagle gold coins per month, which on average is not only much higher than the salary Wang Qinian is getting now, but most importantly, it will be a long-term contract, Mr. Crumb intends to hire Wang Qinian for a long time, and is willing to sign a five-year employment contract.

It's a pity that Wang Qinian refused, even if Mr. Crumb was willing to increase his salary again just now, to forty-eight eagle silver coins per month, the result was still the same.

Mr. Cram could only look at Wang Qinian with a little regret, the salary he proposed was already very generous, and there was actually a hidden benefit in it, he was willing to pay his salary with eagle-style gold coins, not only silver coins, as we all know, now with the continuous expansion of the human race, and at the same time the powerful Hao clan is exploring the heterotope, there are now a large number of minerals, the value of silver is declining, which has led to the continuous depreciation of silver coins in various countries, and the fluctuation of gold Although there are small fluctuations, but it is still very stable.

Speaking of the currency of Keos, Wang Qinian's heart moved.

He accompanied Mr. Crumb around the bazaar for a few days, and bought a lot of goods, and he got a lot of information, including the current state of the currency, which made his heart move slightly.

The currency of the Keos was mainly used in the Terran countries, and outside of the Terrans, it was mostly bartered.

The current units of currency of the Terran countries are gold, silver, There are three kinds of copper coins, the most commonly used by the people in daily life are silver coins and copper coins with auxiliary currency status, gold coins were originally only used in bulk commodity transactions, until later most countries allowed to use currency instead of paying taxes in kind, gold coins also began to enter daily use, people will also use gold coins to pay when buying private luxury goods, and the purchase and sale of bulk commodities in addition to bartering, more mainly in gold coin transactions, for example, Mr. Cram came to the Free City with half of the gold coins, half of the silver coins of funds.

However, the minting of currencies in various countries, mainly the minting of gold coins, is quite chaotic, all countries are minting metal coins on their own, and even a powerful person such as a duke in a country has the right to mint coins, but the specifications are different, mainly reflected in the different fineness, and even minted with alloys.

For example, the eagle gold coin used by Mr. Crumb is the currency of Asturias, and several other nations of the Terran also have their own gold coins, even silver coins, and copper coins are the least different and can be ignored.

The royal coat of arms of the Asturian dynasty is an eagle with its wings spread on its back, and the obverses of its gold and silver coins are also in this more elaborate pattern, so it is called the Eagle Gold Coin and the Eagle Silver Coin. According to the Asturian Royal Mint standard, one gold eagle coin can be exchanged for about twenty silver eagles.

The currency of the Aurora Empire is called the Aurora Gold Coin, which often has a two-headed dragon on its currency, the Saxon Empire is also known as the Land of the Lions, so its gold coins are called the Lion Gold Coins, and the Titanian royal coat of arms has always been composed of a sword and a rose, which is also found in the currency.

The most chaotic are the Modo and the Confederation of Cities, whose main cities mostly mint their own currency.

With so many currencies, there are as many as seven or eight currencies used in the bazaar at the same time, and it will be extremely inconvenient for merchants to trade, because the sale of goods may result in foreign gold coins, and the use of them in their own country may be restricted, such as the two sides that are at war; or the quality of different currencies will also lead merchants to lose money if they are not careful.

Therefore, the currency-huàn merchants came into being, where they could exchange the huàn at the corresponding rate to the currency they needed, such as the Modo gold dollar into the eagle gold coin, and the lion gold coin into the huàn into the Aurora gold coin.

The city of freedom also has such a huàn, and at the beginning of the market, the city of freedom will officially preside over the exchange of huàn, of course, in addition, there are some private currency exchange merchants in the city of freedom can also exchange huàn, of course, whether it is official or private exchange huàn, will charge a certain handling fee, currency exchange huàn merchants mainly rely on this to earn commissions.

Gold is now stronger than silver, and Mr. Crumb's willingness to pay his salary in gold is quite sincere.

When Wang Qinian learned about the currency situation, his heart moved, this is a money-making business, but then he shook his head, knowing that he couldn't make this money for the time being.

In the earth world before he traveled through, finance was far more numerous than that of Keosda now, and there were many ways to make money, so even with Wang Qinian's financial knowledge, it was very advanced here.

However, in order to make money in the currency exchange industry, there are two general ways under the existing model, one is to exchange a large number of money, or even monopolistic exchange to earn fees, and the other is to take advantage of the difference in the exchange rate of various places to earn the difference.

The currency-to-huàn industry requires a fairly strong amount of capital to start, and if you want to take advantage of the difference in the ratio of currencies to huàn in different places to make money, you have to add a very fast trading method.

There are two points implied in this condition of extremely fast trading methods, one is to obtain information smoothly and quickly, otherwise you can't know where to earn the difference, which requires the comparison of different information, and has a very high timeliness, after which it may lead to losses;

Of course, it is not possible to run with legs, it is slow to ride a horse, and perhaps a flying magical beast that is equivalent to a private jet in this world can barely achieve its goal, but the most effective means is directional magic teleportation.

Legs, Wang Qinian has, horse, a good horse with a good pedigree is now worth about five eagle gold coins, if Wang Qinian is willing to accept Mr. Crumb's long-term employment contract, he can have a good horse in three months, and a short horse with only endurance is worth about ten eagle silver coins.

Flying demonic beasts, either still unruly in the wild, or serving in the army, belong to things that money can't buy, and Wang Qinian can't control it at all now, he is now only at the level of a high-level magic apprentice.

As for the teleportation technique or the teleportation circle, don't even think about it, the simplest random teleportation technique on the same plane is a seventh-order spell, and requires the magic level of the magician to be about sixteen, that is, the starting level of the senior mage, the magic level is a standard for evaluating the strength of the magician, including the level of magic power and magic control; the isoplane directional teleportation technique is an eighth-order spell, and the cross-plane directional teleportation technique is a ninth-order spell.

Therefore, Wang Qinian quickly dispelled this idea, he had neither strong funds nor corresponding means to achieve it. But he didn't give up, maybe one day in the future, who knows.

Suddenly the commotion interrupted Wang Qinian's contemplation, and from the entrance of the bazaar came a brutal procession, which drove the pedestrians in front of them away at will, and the city guards who were responsible for maintaining order did not punish them for this.

But what is even more surprising is that the people who were knocked away did not get angry because of this, but some people were surprised.

Wang Qinian was also stunned when he saw this group of people, because these people were all orcs, and the person in the front was somewhat similar to Upper Garrison in appearance, and he was also a Munk.

Soon Wang Qinian knew the reason, because these orcs brought the goods that others wanted.

The Terran nation on the Great 6 occupies only a portion of the land, and although it is at a high level of expansion, beyond the territory are larger wildernesses, grasslands, forests, deserts, and swamps.

Orcs are everywhere, but there are also many groups of orcs, including the most intelligent Fawkes, the fierce Rhine and Tego, the Munk who have the most contact with the Terrans, the timid Ritter and Bouay, the lazy and unwilling to think, and the most ferocious Cadilla.

The relationship between the orcs and the human race is quite complicated, they work together to banish the weakened high elves, and they also coincidentally defend against the attacks of the underground races, but they are always at war with each other, and at the same time they communicate with each other, and they do not completely sever the relationship.

Of course, this is also because there are too many tribes of orcs, some are hostile to the human race, some are neutral, and there are even more friendly people like the Munk who are relatively friendly to the human race.

Orcs also have needs, so they will also trade with the Terrans, but they are quite careful, it is usually the adventurers of the Terrans who risk reaching the orc settlements, and those who are not trusted will be killed, and those who are trusted can return with a full load, if they can establish a long-term relationship, it is difficult to think of it.

Orcs can provide the best mounts, rare minerals, high-quality furs, the magic crystal mines in the human area are limited, and the area controlled by the orcs is the most extensive, except for war, it is the most labor-saving way to get the permission of the nearby orc tribes to excavate.

There were quite a few orcs here, dozens of them, and they were guided by an official in Liberty City to occupy a platform that had been prepared for them a long time ago, and everyone had been wondering why one of the platforms was empty, but it was actually for them.

These orcs are roughly divided into three races, among which the Munk are the most, but in addition to the Munk, there is also the Rhine, which caused a commotion, because the most noble of the orcs is recognized as the Beamon royal family, and in addition to the Rhine and Tygo, that status is like the royal family and duke in the human race.

The first item that the Rhine took out was not the finest fur that the orcs used to trade, but a large sapphire the size of a pigeon's egg.

He casually placed the huge sapphire on the booth and whispered a word in his mouth.

However, he did not use the big 6 lingua franca, but the Rhine language.

Orcs also usually use the Great 6 lingua franca, which was learned by most of the clans during the reign of the ancient elven empire, making it the most widely spoken language. In addition, the orc tribes also have their own languages, and most of the languages of the tribes can understand each other, and the differences are similar to the differences in the dialects of various provinces in China.

The Rhines speak their own language, which the Munks may understand, but it is difficult for the orcs.

The huge sapphire was clearly aroused, and someone dared to ask in lingua franca: "Well, which country's gold coins does this Mr. Rhein accept?"

This immediately drew a lot of ridicule, and one laughed, "Boy, this is the first time you've seen the Orc Trade Order here, right? They never accept human currency, because the gold and silver coins in your pocket are of no use to them, they only accept valuable goods and exchange them. ”

"Mr. Hammer, I'm Padda, do you remember? We made a deal a year ago, and last time I brought a lot of wine, are you interested?"

The Munk man didn't answer, but turned his head to the Rhine orc again and said a few words, not in the big 6 lingua franca.
