Section 128 Latent

"Ah Jin, you promised me a secret. Ashrufat said. "This is a deal that only you and I can know. ”

"Rest assured. Ah Jin replied. "I swear in the name of a businessman that our secrecy is well kept. He explained. "The church people asked me about it, and I told them it was all a commercial ploy. The aim is to produce the effect of small profits and quick turnover. Both reels are actually the same. They fully accepted my explanation...... Anyway, Ashrufat, what kind of brains are you doing!"

"It's just some of my personal plans. Ashrufat replied with a smile. "We agreed to keep it confidential. ”

"I just don't understand. You buy the teleportation scroll at such a high price and sell it at a low price......" Ah Jin asked with some uneasiness. "Does this count as embezzlement?"

"Ah Jin, you don't have to worry about this matter. Ashrufat replied. "As for embezzlement...... Hey, I'm the Chancellor of the Exchequer, so it's up to me to decide how I spend the money?"

"Ashrufat, I'm just reminding you. Don't forget, for our Chamber of Commerce, you're a major shareholder. Ah Jin looked serious. "Ashorufat, if you can guarantee a long-term transaction, then I am willing to lower the selling price a little more and increase the repurchase price a little more. ”

"Of course it's better. Ashrufat replied. "By the way, what's the business doing in Fornoros City?"

"Everything went smoothly. Ah Jin replied. "It's not just Fornoros, it's the same everywhere. ”

Although it is a short period of time, Akin's work can be said to be fruitful, and now the Chamber of Commerce's sales network has spread throughout Gruni and is still expanding.

Truth be told, a magic scroll is an item that is easy to transport, easy to keep, and has a high value. This makes Akin's business not require a lot of manpower and animal power, and there is no need to organize a large caravan to transport and sell. It is precisely because of this that his sales are not limited by too many transportation conditions.

Ah Jin's business was very cleverly chosen, so that he could not only make money, but also maintain relatively close ties with other chambers of commerce. Magical teleportation is expensive, but it has an advantage that no other way can match, and that is speed. There is no need to go over mountains and mountains, there is no need for fast horse stations, just a simple use of a scroll, and the relevant messages can be sent to the destination safely and privately. It is well known that only professional magicians can make teleportation scrolls, or teleport by magic, but the requirements for receiving magical teleportations are much lower, and anyone with a little magical training can do it. There are even legends that some gifted people can receive messages of magical transmission without any training.

"Duke Byron bought it too?"

"Not only did he buy it, but he was also a big customer. Ishrufat, you don't care about this, do you? For us, buying and selling is buying and selling, and it has nothing to do with personal grudges or anything......

"Ah, rest assured. Ashrufat smiled. "I won't embarrass you in this regard. You're right, a customer is a customer, and it has nothing to do with personal grievances. I don't have a good relationship with Byron, but I don't have any hatred for Byron's money, do I?"

"That's right!" Ah Jin slapped the table. "Ashrufat, you really shouldn't be a minister. Come be my partner, we can create a great business miracle!"

"When I'm done, I'll seriously consider your suggestion. Ashrufat said. "Ah Jin, I remember the business blockade you told me last time. The Silverfish Chamber of Commerce is the real leader behind the scenes?"

"Ah, that's right. Ah Jin replied. "That blockade was indeed led and organized by the Silver Fish Chamber of Commerce. In fact, the other party went too far, and almost all the chambers of commerce suffered losses. In that case, as long as someone takes the lead, it must be a response. But I personally don't think it's a good thing. ”

"Why do you say that? ”

"Because a merchant can't fight a soldier. Ah Jin looked up at the ceiling and replied thoughtfully. It's as simple as that. Do you remember the slave trader you killed? Although you have a lot of money, you sent a team of soldiers to the door, and you just ransacked him. The so-called multinational chambers of commerce seem to be powerful, but in the end they are just businessmen. In a normal country, the king has the ability to uproot the power of any chamber of commerce without fear of consequences. The commercial blockade is okay against a small force, but it can be used against any of the seven countries...... It's all impossible. What we should do is to make money in a humble way, instead of making a high-profile outcrop to arouse the vigilance and vigilance of others. ”

"At the end of the day, business is also part of the country. There was no essential conflict between the king and the merchant, and they could coexist in harmony with each other. Whether the king uses force against the Chamber of Commerce, or the Chamber of Commerce uses a blockade against the lord, it is not a victory, at most it can only be said that both sides are defeated, killing 10,000 people and losing 8,000 themselves. ”

Ashrufat smiled.

"Ah Jin, you are indeed a very discerning businessman. But there are not only wise people in the world, but also fools. To make matters worse, there are far more of the latter than the former. ”

"Ahh Ah Jin looked at Ashrufat, he was already keenly aware of what Ashrufat meant by these words.

"I want to know something," Ashrufat said. "You've told me before...... You've estimated the amount of old teleportation scrolls in stock?"

"Of course," Ah Jin replied immediately. "Ashrufat, I didn't spend a day or two doing this market research. While I can't guarantee 100% accuracy, it shouldn't fluctuate too much. You know, there is actually less to buy in small quantities than wholesale in such a way as teleportation scrolls. The usage of those large customers is actually relatively fixed, so they will buy dozens or even hundreds of communication reels each time to use slowly. After all, you can always get a discount when you wholesale is done, right?"

"Well, the old teleportation scroll...... I mean, when will the old scrolls run out?"

"Hey, Ashrufat, you mean when they started using those 'inferior' scrolls? It is a deep-seated habit that people always prioritize those items that are of inferior quality when given a choice. ”

"What do you mean...... They're already using it?"

"Of course, I'm sure. Ah Jin replied. "Ashrufat, should you ......" He looked vigilantly left and right to make sure that no one was eavesdropping outside. "Those scrolls you sold me can't be used, can you? What did you do with them?"

"No, they work. Ashrufat replied evasively. "And I promise them that they can fulfill their mission. ”

Ah Jin also knew that there must be a special reason for Ai Xiurufat to do this. However, to be honest, although Ah Jin is curious, he is also a smart person. As long as this can bring a steady stream of income, why does he have to get to the bottom of it? That won't make him more money.

"Akin, are we friends?" Ashrufat asked suddenly.

"Of course. Ah Jin didn't hesitate for a second, and immediately replied.

"About us, this deal...... You must not tell anyone about this. Ashrufat said. This is not the first time he has made such a request.

"I swear by the honor of a businessman. Ah Jin replied. "I wouldn't say it under any circumstances. ”

"Well, actually, I have two things here. Ashruphat pulled out a couple of envelopes from his pocket. "Akin, these are the license documents for the Iribo trade...... Same as the one you auctioned before. However, this is almost the last few copies I have ever made. You are free to auction them off at a good time. Related Payments...... Well, secretly send it to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether that person is me or not at that time. Of course, the auction fee is calculated according to the normal price. ”

"Ah...... Ashrufat, you mean......" Ah Jin looked at Ashruphat in surprise, who placed the envelope directly on his desk.

"And this," Ashrufat said, holding out a document, "this is a power of attorney I wrote, signed by me." I will give you carte blanche to serve as my representative at the Scroll Chamber of Commerce shareholders' meeting. ”

"Ashrufat...... You ...... This one...... Too...... I'm so embarrassed...... "Ah Jin actually blushed too. He knew what that meant. Ashrufat is the majority shareholder, holding a quarter of the chamber's shares. If Ashrufat entrusts everything to Akin, it means that Ajin will have an absolute advantage in the stake of this chamber of commerce. In other words, whether it is normal operations or shareholder meetings, Ah Jin will be the one who says the same.

"Of course, I also wrote it clearly, if there is a dividend income, please keep it for me temporarily. Ashrufat said.

"Don't worry," Ah Jin assured with a pat on his chest. "A good friend will get a 20% discount for a lifetime, and I will definitely calculate the interest. ”

"Interest doesn't have to be. Ashrufat said. "I actually have one more question...... Do you think it's possible for the major chambers of commerce to unite and impose a commercial blockade on Eagle Falcon City?"

"Ah," Ah Jin thought as he carefully put away Ashrufat's power of attorney. "I don't think it's a chance...... Let's put it this way, as long as our little queen can pay her debts on time, it will definitely not happen. If it weren't for the public outrage, businessmen wouldn't have done such a profitless thing. ”

"So...... What if there are some disputed debts? I mean the same clause, which can be interpreted differently. Although the wording of our commercial contracts is becoming more and more stringent, it is difficult to prevent this situation from happening. ”

"This ......," Ah Jin already understood what Ashruphat meant. "Is this the case with the debts of certain chambers of commerce, or do all loan contracts have the same problem?"

......

"Why do you look listless today?" asked Rhodia. She has a keen sense of observation, so she can detect tears in the corners of the little girl's eyes. Of course, Rhodia initially planned not to mention it, but the problem was that the little girl not only had tears in the corners of her eyes, but also was pale and absent-minded, and even spoke with a donkey's head on the horse's mouth.

After all, the little girl is too young to hide her thoughts.
