Chapter 234: Exploitation
Boxes of goods are stacked on the ground, forming hills.
These goods are all for the elves, and the rest of the goods have been moved into the store.
Radoye waited at the door of the shop, waiting for the elves to receive the goods.
The three Hellags did not leave, but guarded the goods in place.
Their mission was not yet complete, and the mission included the return journey, escorting the caravan back and forth.
If you don't escort the caravan back temporarily, you won't have a hundred gold coins for the return trip.
Of course, Herag didn't stay because of the gold coins, they just wanted to find the right time.
Now that so much goods are placed on the ground, although no one will come to grab them, someone has to watch them.
At this time, Herag was also observing the terrain around him.
There is a forest on the north side of the town, and a fence wall is erected on the perimeter of the forest.
The fence wall was overgrown with creeper-like vines, and the fence wall looked unremarkable, but Hrag felt the magic in it.
No one approached outside the fence wall, and the ground nearby was so overgrown with weeds that it was barely noticeable that no one had set foot there.
In the middle of the fence wall there is a tall wooden gate, and a large road that leads deep into the forest.
The wooden door was closed, and no one entered or exited for a long time.
Herag guessed that it should be the area of the elves in the Strange Valley, and ordinary humans would definitely not be allowed to enter it.
A lot of people even walked around that side, not even daring to get closer.
Although the wooden door was unguarded, the majesty of the elves left an indelible mark on the hearts of these people.
After two hours of waiting, at the end of the street in the distance, a male elf rode up on horseback, followed by a convoy of several elves.
Their wagons were all empty, apparently intended for cargo.
When Radoye saw it, he immediately greeted him with a smile on his face: "Lord Bain, you are here." I have prepared all the goods you need, and I guarantee the highest quality. ”
Bane's face was indifferent, and he paced slowly on his horse, not looking at Radoye, but at the goods on the ground.
He rolled over and dismounted, and opened a box at random, which contained some cured meat.
Bane moved his nose and sniffed, then frowned and said, "You guys are three days late this time, this cured meat has gone bad, and the price of this batch of cured meat will be halved." ”
"Huh? Halve...... Seashell...... Lord Bane, this cured meat won't spoil, and it's only been for three days. ”
Radoye panicked when he heard that it was halved, not only did it not make money, but even the cost would be lost.
Three days late is simply to say, the round-trip distance will have a difference of two or three days for various reasons, and it is impossible to be the same time every time.
As for the spoilage of cured meat, it is even more nonsense.
First of all, the cured meat can be stored for a long time, and this batch of cured meat has been completely cured and flowed out, and Radoye has personally inspected every piece of meat, how can it be spoiled.
And it's three days later than last time, so it's impossible to deteriorate in three days.
Bain is purely finding faults, and after lowering the price, he eats the difference in the middle.
Radoye knew this, and he shouldn't say anything, so he could only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
He begged, only hoping that Bane would not be so ruthless in price reduction, and it would be too much to halve directly.
When Bane heard Radoye's words, his eyes lit up: "What? Are you questioning me? ”
Bane was displeased, and an inferior human dared to question him.
He said that the cured meat went bad, that is, the cured meat went bad.
Radoye was sweating profusely and said in a low voice, "No, no, I don't dare to question Lord Bane." This cured meat is indeed a little spoiled, so let's do it, I don't even need money for this batch of cured meat, and I will give it to adults for free. ”
"Send? Who will eat this thing if you have spoiled, I will help you deal with it, and you need an additional 1,000 gold coins processing fee. Bane said coldly.
"This ......" Radoye was stunned, his face embarrassed.
Even if you lose money, why do you have to lose money.
"Questions?" Bane asked.
Radoye's face was as uncomfortable as eating, and he nodded, "No, no problem." ”
Outsiders envy the ability to do business with elves, but Radoye knows the hardships involved.
On the whole, the elves are naturally pleasant to give money.
However, what they are afraid of is a small character like Bane who directly deals with them.
Bane is a very ordinary low-level elf in the elven clan, otherwise he would not be arranged outside to deal with these daily affairs.
The elves with real status are all inside, rarely come out, and don't have much contact with humans.
Although Bane didn't dare not pay, it was common for him to engage in small means to make profits for himself.
And Radoye couldn't complain, and he couldn't reach other elves.
What's more, it is impossible for the elves to help themselves.
He is a human being, and those elves don't look down on him at all, how can he make decisions for himself.
Radoye could only swallow this breath, except for this batch of cured meat, and still made a lot of money overall.
It's just that I lost the cost of this batch of cured meat, and I also lost a thousand gold coins.
As for being angry, it's nothing, and Radoye doesn't care about this little thing.
Bane didn't continue to embarrass Radoye, he also knew that he couldn't push people into a hurry, so he didn't say anything after getting a little benefit.
The elves he had brought with him began to carry the goods, loading the wagons one by one.
During this period, the Ruby Chamber of Commerce did not help, because they were not allowed to touch it.
All of these goods are inspected and confirmed to be in good condition before they are transported into the Valley of the Strange.
After the elves had finished carrying the goods, the convoy slowly departed and headed for the northern part of the town, near the wooden gate of the fence wall.
There was a large courtyard and several large storehouses were built.
After Bane commanded the convoy into the courtyard, he transported the goods into the warehouse and stored them.
Over the next few days, he needs to slowly check the goods to make sure there are no problems.
After this is done, someone will be arranged to transport the goods in.
Herag paid attention to the movements of Bane's group of elves the whole time, and he probably had a plan in his heart.
According to the plan, the caravan will stay here for the next few days.
They will buy some goods and then return to Nightfall to resell them.
The time to go back will be a little faster, because there is less cargo, and the speed of walking will naturally be faster.
Herag and the others had to try to complete the task as best they could in the course of a few days.
Because without the Ruby Chamber of Commerce as a cover, they would behave very abruptly in this town.
The elves look down on humans, and at the same time they are wary, they think that humans are a very cunning race, and they are not willing to associate with them too much.
