Chapter 344: Clearing Accounts and Sealing
It is said that the first time I went in, it took only two minutes to be sent out, and although I was not scared unconscious, at least I was scared to cry.
But the teenage pastor was very strong, and quickly gathered her emotions and went deep into it again.
Every time he confronts her, the entire Ghost Manor is also like a great enemy.
Because she knows a lot about Ghost Manor, there is no way to scare her.
At least a series of special skills such as Wuliu's paralyzing winding and black heather's paralyzing touch are difficult to have a surprise effect on her.
Dealing with her is more about the atmosphere, psychological suggestion, etc., and then break her.
It's just that the further you go, the more difficult it becomes.
Teenage pastors are not only adapting at a rapid pace, but also growing rapidly.
With the completion of the transaction, the flow of people gathered in the Yevon pond is also slowly dispersing.
They will take the ghost wines with them and travel all over Faerun to sell them at a higher price.
It is believed that wherever the ghost wine is delivered, the fame of Gavin and the Vizeme estate will spread.
If you want to gather so many ships and so many people at once, you need to wait for the time when the new wine of Vizeme Estate will be on the market.
With the last merchant ship departing.
That night, a celebration was held at the Vizeme Manor.
This usually dark ghost manor, when a huge bonfire and candles are lit, except for a little cold, it is difficult to associate with the ghostly appearance of the day.
Only a handful of people attended, but they were prominent.
Residing in the chairman's seat is naturally the owner of this place, Gavin, the owner of the Vizeme estate.
Sitting on the left are Lord Ilmet, Rejana, and Oliv.
Sitting on the right are the Grand Inquisitor of Wallonia, Darnell and Ogst.
It would be more appropriate to divide the profits of this auction than to celebrate the merits.
Gavin raised the wine glass in his hand, took the lead and stood up and said: "Thank you very much for coming from afar, the smooth convening of this ghost wine auction is inseparable from your strong support, I believe that this successful cooperation is just the beginning, we will have more opportunities for cooperation in the future, let us drink this glass together to celebrate." β
"Well said, I hope we will have more and more opportunities to cooperate in the future."
"The success of this auction is due to Mr. Gavin and Miss Regina, and we may not have been able to do much, at most we will be waving the flag in the back."
"Don't be humble Monsieur Darnell, your reputation for justice, but you have helped a lot in it, come, let us drink this cup."
"Please."
"Please."
The others responded by standing up.
After drinking the wine, Gavin sat down and said straight to the point: "The transaction has been completed, the accounts have been straightened out, and we can start settling the accounts." β
"Wait a minute." Regina suddenly stood up and said, "Before that, there's a little process to go. β
"What process?" Gavin looked confused.
This matter was obviously unplanned, but judging from the expressions of the others, they knew about it, and only they were in the dark.
Lord Ilmet stood up, drew the long sword in his hand, and said with a solemn expression: "Gavin Notte listens to the seal. β
Gavin's heart jumped, and he suddenly understood what they wanted to do, and hurriedly stood up and fell on one knee in front of Lord Ilmet.
Lord Ilmet continued, "In the name of the heir to the legacy of Anka Balisk, the King of Cloaks, and the current guardian of Battle Valley, I appoint you Lord of Battle Valley, and from this day onwards, you will officially assume the role of guardian of the Land of the Three Rivers, and Griffon's Hill will be your place of inheritance for generations to come. β
"I, Gavin Notte, am willing to carry on the legacy of Anka Balisk and protect this place for generations to come." Gavin replied loudly.
"I, Wallon Yarr, in the name of the Hand of Tyre, the current Grand Inquisitor of the Hammer of Justice, bear witness to the fulfillment of today's sacred vows." Wallon had already stood up, standing not far from Lord Ilmet, and then said in a loud voice.
Lord Ilmet's long sword slapped Gavin's shoulder, and a smile surged on his serious face, "Sir Gavin, please get up." β
There was no divine light descending, and there was no other fantastical vision.
It's just the purest and simplest of human allegiance oath ceremonies.
The object of the oath is not the Lord of Ilmet, but the will of Anka, the king of cloaks, who has been dead for hundreds of years.
Because Lord Ilmet and their ancestors were the chief swordsmen of Anka's side, they only managed the Battle Valley after Anka's death, and never admitted that they were the owners of the Battle Valley, and if anyone could inherit Anka's legacy and lead the Battle Valley to rise and unify the entire valley, they would swear allegiance to the new High King.
"Thank you, Your Excellency, Your Excellency." Gavin's mouth was cracking to the back of his head.
With or without this canonization ceremony, he is the de facto owner of the Land of Three Rivers.
The main function of this canonization ceremony is to conclude a covenant.
As a canonizer, a witness.
When Gavin's rule in the Trois-Rivières is questioned, it will be their duty to come forward and set the record straight.
When an enemy declares war on Gavin, it is equivalent to declaring war on the other two sides at the same time, and they have the right to send troops.
Whether or not they will send troops depends on whether Gavin has a good relationship with them, and their own situation is a series of problems - nothing is set in stone.
"Don't thank me, you deserve it." Lord Ilmet patted Gavin on the shoulder affectionately and said, "Good job, I look forward to the day when you will make the Ashaba River the Rosavier Road on the water." β
The admiration in the eyes of Lord Ilmet could not be concealed in any way.
It's just that kind of gaze, obviously not the lord looking at his subordinates, but more like an old father looking at his new son-in-law.
Although Regina is not his biological daughter, she is better than her own, and she has been entrusted to him since she was very young.
He watched her grow up, and he knew very well how good his daughter really was, and the arrogance that matched the excellence.
From childhood to adulthood, the males who circled around her could not be counted, from teenagers to hundreds of years old, and there was not a single one in the memory of Lord Ilmet who made her look at her differently.
The young man in front of her was the only one who made her circle around him in turn.
After less than two ten days of contact.
Lord Ilmet discovers that the other party does possess this charm and ability.
Because the other party's ideas are very unique, and the style of doing things is even more eclectic.
Only such a young man can be matched with Regina, who has unrestrained ideas.
"Trust me, that day won't be too far away." Gavin said confidently.
In recent times, he has communicated with the lord of Ilmet the most about how to deal with the Ashaba River around the land of the three rivers and how to make full use of the convenient water transportation.
Even if the Way of Rosavier is not replaced, it will be an irreplaceable role in the Battle Valley.
"If you can do this, you will be the greatest hero of the entire Battle Valley, and let all the people of the Battle Valley free from the centuries-old shackles that have been around our necks by the cunning bastards of Sambia." Lord Ilmet's words were filled with unconcealed anger and helplessness.
Half of the Rosavier Way is within the Battle Valley, running through the most populated area of the Battle Valley.
Conversely, most of the settlements in Battle Valley are built around this road.
But the actual control of the road was not in the hands of the Battle Valley, but in the hands of the Sambian merchants.
Through trade, through this trade route, they have more and more influence on the Battle Valley.
This trade route was their decisive weapon against the Battle Valley.
Along this trade route, sending troops to attack the battle valley belonged to the lowest.
The best, and the best thing that Sambian businessmen are best at, is commerce.
Once the relationship between the Battle Valley and Sambia was strained, they did not need to send troops, they only needed to put the Road of Rosavier at the Black Feather Bridge, and did not allow merchants to enter or leave.
In less than a year, the Battle Valley would have to surrender without a fight.
Many of their cash crops have to be transported out of this road, and some of the necessities of life need to be brought in by this road.
And Sambia's reliance on this road is not so heavy, they have at least two land routes to Cormier, and one sea route to the Moon Sea region.
"Those bastards, indeed, are using the valley as a backyard for them to pick the fruit." Gavin looked empathetic.
It was only at this auction that he had a new understanding of the lower limit of the group of merchants in Sambia.
There was Carter's lobbying before.
Later, they made joint bids to disrupt the order of the auction and achieve the goal of eating at a low price.
That's why ghost wines are so disparity between high and low prices at auction.
The high price is basically won by other chambers of commerce, especially those small and medium-sized chambers of commerce, because the Sambia Chamber of Commerce is raising the price vigorously in the back, with a posture of taking down all the ghost wines, and then slamming it in the middle.
At low prices, most of them are eaten by Sambia, because of the continuous high prices in the front, the funds brought by many businessmen are exhausted in advance.
In the end, I could only watch Sambia get it at a low price.
In order not to continue to drive down the average price of ghost wines, Gavin withheld the remaining 5,000 ghost wines.
Rather than continuing the auction, it is better to sell it to other merchants at the current average price of the auction afterwards.
Judging by the current popularity of ghost wines, Gavin only needs a slight leak to sell out in less than three days, and the price will definitely not be lower than the average auction price.
"Sambia is like this now, it's not a day or two, there is no need to spoil our interest because of a group of villains." The Grand Inquisitor of Wallon, however, looked unaware, and if they did not, they would be sorry for their reputation as jackal merchants.
"Your Excellency the Chief Judge is right." Gavin smiled and said, "Today is a great day for us to celebrate the feast and divide the money, so let's continue the previous topic and settle the accounts."
Nineteen thousand ghost wines have been produced in the manor's cellars, two thousand of which have been shipped to the Hammer of Justice Abbey.
7,000 pieces have not yet been sold, and 10,000 pieces have been sold for a total of 1.88 million yuan.
According to our original agreement, the reserve price was calculated at 200,000 yuan, and after deducting this part, there was still 1.68 million.
The three families divided it equally, 560,000 yuan each, plus 3,000 ghost wines each, this account is fine, right? β
Gavin spread a ledger on the table, using a simple form, transcribing the simplest total of accounts, and the detailed accounts below, which were two fingers thick.
He didn't play tricks on the accounts, so it would be too stupid to do that.
His cooperation with the two has just begun, and there will be many places to use each other in the future.
"Hiss ......"
Rao is present are all people from the city, and he can't help but gasp at this moment.
Since Gavin had been keeping the accounts, they knew that the auction was a big deal, but they didn't know the exact amount.
In the case of the three companies splitting the accounts, they still have a net profit of 1.1 million yuan each (the rest of the ghost wine is calculated according to the average price of 18 per bottle), how terrifying it is.
"If nothing else, we will be able to split this number at least every year in the future." Gavin added faintly.
You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
