The third section of the journey

"We've been hit by the fish in the pond. Ah Jin replied.

"Pond fish?"

"There's no way to do it on the road, only when the car stops. The incision is fresh and the time is definitely just within today. But during lunch, the door of the restaurant was full of people, and it was impossible to say that it was impossible to secretly destroy the wheels with sharp weapons. So the only time is today...... When those two guys got out of the car. I guess those two guys did it. At that time, we were in the car, the driver was in the driver's seat, and they were slowly carrying the luggage. If they take the opportunity to stealthily destroy the wheels, we won't be able to detect it. ”

"There is a real possibility ......"

Other than that, the two of them pretended not to know each other, but in fact they got off the bus at the same place. I guess it's a gang. ”

"I think so too. ”

"But their goal should not be against us. Otherwise, it would never have been possible to choose such a close distance. The right thing to do is for us to go east for another day or two...... Go to a less secure area and get started. The security in this area is still very good, not a good place to do it. Besides, we go to Eagle Falcon City, the road is still long, so we don't have to be in such a hurry. In the end, the luggage of those two people is real luggage, not just a random collection to deceive people. However, they can't do a prank out of boredom...... Therefore, the biggest possibility is the disaster of the pond fish. Their target is not us, but we just happen to meet it. ”

Ashrufat made a big difference to Akin. Don't look at Ah Jin, this guy is dressed vulgarly and has a thick skin, but he seems to have a very good brain, and he really has the capital to go to a strange place to establish a branch alone. In fact, if you think about it carefully, although this person says that he dresses vulgarly to show off his wealth, he is just dressing up vulgar to show off his wealth.

"Why are they doing this?" said Ashrufat, feeling a little strange. What would be the impact of destroying the wheels? Well, basically, it didn't have any effect on the trip. According to the route, at dusk today, the mail truck will arrive in a small town and then change trains. In other words, this small destruction will probably make them arrive in the town late today...... But it won't have any impact on tomorrow's journey.

"If you can't guess, don't guess. Ah Jin touched his head with his hand, and a triumphant smile appeared on his fat face again. "The most important thing is ...... Hey, hey, hey...... Because of this accident, we can file a claim! When the time comes, they will have to refund us at least half of the fare!"

Ah Jin's mouth grinned to the root of his ears. "Look at how lucky we are! We only need to walk for half a day and we can save a lot of money......!

For the first time in a long time, Ashrufat had met a real businessman. In fact, many businessmen choose this profession not because they love business, but because they are purely for monetary gain, or there is no better choice. But Ah Jin is a real businessman in his purest form. Ashrufat could see that Ajin was indeed very rich, and in terms of expenses, there was no need for him to travel long distances by mail train (as he could tell from the noon order), but he was going to do it. Ah Jin actually didn't alike walking on the ground for a long time, but he just wanted to take this opportunity to make a ruthless claim. In other words, the reason why he makes money, saves money, and claims is not because of objective conditions, but because every time he earns a sum of money and saves the next expense, he can make Ah Jinle unsupportable. It's like a group of soldiers winning a battle with little special value. Although the battle may be worthless from a macro perspective, it can still keep the morale of the soldiers high and elated.

In other words, from the perspective of a businessman, Ah Jin is probably the most powerful. If one day, because of fate, Ajin and Ishrufat were to face off in the mall, Ashrufat felt that he might have no chance of winning. Because Ah Jin is not making money for the sake of making money, but because making money is his pleasure and his goal in life. Such a person must have an incredibly sharp intuition and judgment when it comes to business, instinctively find opportunities that others can't see, and develop a wealth of experience at a young age.

Seeing Ah Jin happily calculating the amount of the claim while walking, Ashrufar couldn't help but say. "Ah Jin, I will not dare to do business with you in the future. ”

"What are you talking about!" Ah Jin was very happy and patted Ashrufat on the back with his fat hand. "You haven't seen my gorgeous bargaining skills yet. Don't worry, if it's a friend, I'll give you a 20% discount for the rest of my life!"

"What if it's not a friend?"

"Hehe, of course I'll give you a thirty percent price increase for the rest of my life!"

......

There are usually two types of mail truck travel. One is to pack a car from head to tail and go straight to the destination, which is the choice of most short and medium-distance travelers. But for long-distance travelers, this approach is not advisable. The normal practice is to change cars in sections, breaking down the whole journey into sections, and changing different means of transportation for each section.

The rest of the journey was peaceful. Every day is boring to sit in the car and read a book, or in a daze, only when you arrive in a larger city, can you have a small amount of leisure to go for a walk.

"Two gentlemen, this is Cardin, our penultimate stop. The driver introduced. "If you want to go around, you have to take advantage of it now. ”

Ashrufat and Akin walked side by side in the streets. This is the market in the city of Cardin. The city called Cardin was already the last stop on their eastbound road. By this time tomorrow, they would arrive at their destination, the royal city of Gruni, the city of the Eagle Falcon.

The market is quite bustling, with people coming and going. After getting along and getting to know each other for so long, Ashrufat had to admit that Ajin was quite unique in every way except for his appearance. Let's say shopping. Actually, Ashrufat didn't want to buy anything, just looked at it casually. But he immediately realized that Ah Jin's buying method was different from his own - he always carefully observed the quality and details of the goods when he bought things, looking for defects to judge the price, while Ah Jin only spent half of his time looking at the goods, and the other half of his time was spent observing the owner of the goods.

"Ah Jin, why don't you look at things carefully, why do you stare at that person?" Ashrufat asked secretly.

"Hehe, you don't understand, this is the essence of bargaining. Ah Jin replied. "It is necessary to see whether the owner of the goods is honest or treacherous, so that the bargaining can be confident. ”

"There's an old saying that looks have nothing to do with character?"

"That's just the words of a discerning man who deceives himself. ”

"You can see it? I mean, you've never met one that you can't see?"

"Encountered. But I'm not going to waste any time with people like that. Ah Jin's face was full of pride. "When you encounter such a person, of course, you should immediately leave and go to those who can see it. ”

Ashrufat is really completely convinced now. Ah Jin is completely the kind of genius who is not born in the world - in this field he is good at, I am afraid there is no one who can compare with him. The legendary wilderness sage Garunas is probably this type of person, except that Akin specializes in business and business, while Garunas specializes in politics and military affairs.

"We'll be in Eagle City one day. Ashrufat said inadvertently.

"Ha Lu Ha, that's right. Ah Jin said happily. "By the way, you said you got a position in the city......"

"Yes, that's right. Ashrufat's mouth remained calm, but his heart tightened slightly. Then again, this is really the first time Ah Jin has asked this question.

"Can you tell me what your annual salary is?" asked Ah Jin. "Ah, Ashrufat, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing. Ashrufar controlled his balance the moment he almost fell. Sure enough, I have too much heart. People like Ah Jin are not pretend-in. "Actually, I don't know the annual salary. ”

"Don't you know the annual salary?" This time, it was Ah Jin's turn to be surprised. "Ashrufat, shouldn't it be...... You asked an acquaintance to help you find this position?"

"Ah, that's right. ”

"It's over, you're being trapped. Ah Jin covered his forehead with his hand, making a helpless and sympathetic expression. "Nine out of nine are the kind of positions that look quite face-saving but are actually not fart, and the annual salary is frighteningly low. It's completely chicken, it looks pretty good, but in fact, it's a pit business. It's a pity to turn around and leave, but there is definitely no future for it!"

"Ah, is it that bad?"

"It's worse than that, and I'm still in the better place. Ah Jin said. "But well, if I'm a friend, I'll help you get a discounted ticket home. ”

It's really like what Ah Jin would say.

They continued to move on, and although the city was large and there were many goods in the bazaar, it made Ashrufat feel a little decrepit and depressed, and in terms of vitality, it was not as good as a small city like Brasian.

"Ah Jin, since this place is so close to the royal city, why does it make people feel powerless?"

"Needless to ask, of course, it's taxes. Ah Jin looked at him with an idiot look and replied. "Haven't you counted this, in the past three years, our domestic tax revenue has increased by 70%. ”

"Ahh Ashrufat remembered that a large number of people in the city of Brasian had surrounded the Doge's palace to petition. "Why do you need to add so many taxes?"

"Of course, it's because of internal and external difficulties. "Akin has no consciousness of any Gruni citizen (of course, from a businessman's point of view, this may be a virtue). "Mainly to strengthen the armament and create a line of defense in the northeast against the invasion of the barbarians. ”

"For what?"

"To prevent them from invading again, of course. Since the fall of the White Castle, many things have changed. Military spending has skyrocketed...... At least on the surface. ”

"On the surface?" Ashruphat immediately sensed that there was something in the sentence.

"Of course, I don't really care about it, but I've heard about it somewhat...... Ashrufat, you said that if there is a chamber of commerce, and the diligent and conscientious president dies for some reason, and then an acting president who thinks about making money in private all day comes to power, what do you think will happen?"

"It will probably become a miasma, and the profits of the Chamber of Commerce will drop directly?"

"Not really. Ah Jin replied. "No matter how profitable the business is, it can't withstand this kind of toss. ”
