Section 108 Preparation

"Ashrufat," Akin said with that incredible look on his face. "If you had a mountain of gold around you, would you be rich?" exclaimed Akin. "It's hard to get rich or not!"

"Such a license to do business...... Will it be worth the money?"

"It's worth it! How can it not be worth it...... Wait, Ashrufat, why are you asking me this, will you tell me that you happen to have such a business license in hand, right?"

"Actually, for an accidental reason...... "Ashrufat said. "I got a couple of permission documents from the elven prince Ashrufat. He paused. "Don't ask me how I got it, it's all accident and coincidence. ”

"Ah...... Ah......h His saliva almost came out. "Eshurufat, you won't lie to me, will you?"

If it weren't for the table, perhaps Ah Jin would have pounced on him, grabbing Ashrufat's collar so that he could quickly hand over the permits.

"Actually, I don't know if that's true or not. Ashrufat said. As he spoke, he took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Ah Jin. The letter was the one that was not sealed, and the latter immediately opened the envelope and eagerly checked it.

The letter was all in elven script. But Ah Jin looked at the words excitedly, and the expression made it almost impossible to believe that he actually couldn't read them.

"A letter in elven script," Ashrufat said. "It is a letter of promise, and the letter basically allows the human who came with the letter to buy and sell any goods within the territory of Eribo for a period of one year, subject to the relevant laws and customs of the elves. The slot in the middle is deliberately set aside for someone to fill in the time. ”

"Ah...... Ah......h Although he couldn't read it at all.

"Ah Jin, let me warn you, I don't know if this letter is reliable. Ashrufat said.

"Ashrufat, what do you mean......" Ah Jin put down the letter, but his face was still flushed, and he was so excited that he almost drank a large glass of wine. "Send me this letter?"

"Ah, I'm sorry, Akin, but I ......," Ashrufat said. "I'm short of money right now!"

"Do you want a loan, don't worry, high-quality customers like you ......," Ah Jin said excitedly. He held the letter, with such a cautious look, as if he were holding a precious jewel in his hand. He was almost ready to slip the letter into his pocket.

"No, Ah Jin, it's not that I'm personally short of money, it's ...... Queen. "Ashrufat finally figured it out.

In the next second, he saw Ah Jin's expression quickly dim.

"Ashrufat...... Well...... You are now a high-ranking official in Gruni...... So you know the way...... The Queen, on her part, is in debt. What's worse is that in the current situation, I am afraid that no one dares to continue to lend money to the government, because nine out of ten will not be able to get it back. Not to mention borrowing money, it is very face-saving not to ask for debt repayment in advance. ”

"I know it," replied Ashrufat. "But...... Now the question is, I really need a sum of money. ”

"I'm afraid it's really hard. Ah Jin hesitated for a moment, and finally replied like this.

"So I hope to be able to ...... these letters These authorization documents of Prince Ashrufat...... Sell them all. Of course, before I sell it, I have to make sure it's a valid document. ”

"Ah......" Ah Jin replied. "I see what you mean...... You made me ......"

"Ah Jin, for the sake of my friends, do me this favor. You find a way to find a few reliable people...... Determine whether the letter is true or not. The sooner the better......"

"It's easy!" Ah Jin thought for a moment. "If it is determined that this document is genuine, then ......"

"Then I'll hold an auction!" Ashrufat smiled, "Of course, entrust our Chamber of Commerce to host it." ”

Ah Jin's eyes instantly glowed. "No problem. He immediately put the letter away. "I'll confirm as soon as possible. ”

"By the way, there's another thing. Ashrufat said. "Has our Chamber of Commerce taken full control of all the channels for the circulation of magic scrolls?"

"I dare not say far away, at least in the territory of Gruni and Tiberius, I will definitely be able to monopolize. Saying this, Ah Jin's eyebrows immediately fluttered. "Truth be told, you probably wouldn't guess what's at stake...... Now I'm still arranging the channels, and the benefits are average, but it only takes half a year, and the existing magic scrolls will be basically consumed, and when the time comes, they will all have to buy from me, and the price depends entirely on my mood...... Ha Lu Ha ......"

"Ah Jin, I have an idea, you can ...... Sell me the scroll?"

"Of course, good friends are 20% off for life. Ah Jin didn't hesitate for a second. "But it has to be a cash transaction......"

"So, can you procure the teleportation scroll from me?"

"What do you mean? Ashrufat, you just said you bought it from me...... Well, it doesn't matter, good friends get a 20% discount for the rest of their lives, as long as your price doesn't exceed the price on the church's side, then it's definitely fine. Of course, I'll pay in cash as well. ”

"No, Akin, I mean...... You sell me the scroll, and then I'll sell you the scroll. How much is a reel now?"

"Ah, the current market price is not very high, and if I sell it to you, I will only charge eighty big gold orioles. If you buy it......" Ah Jin hesitated, "I'm willing to pay seventy-five gold ori. It's a fair price, and I have to pay extra for the channel and the risk...... Wait, Ashrufat, what do you mean, you sell it to me, and I sell it to you?"

"Well, I have an idea that you will sell me those scrolls of magical teleportation...... Then I...... After a slight transformation, sell it back to you. I promise the scroll still works, but ......"

"Ashrufat, you misread me. Am I the kind of profiteer who will mix inferior goods with high-quality goods and sell them to customers? This is a matter of principle, and I will never agree to it. Ah Jin said righteously. "This kind of behavior violates the ethics of business. My father told me, 'Ah Jin, a businessman must be honest'......"

However, Ashruphat was now very familiar with Akin, so he was not at all swayed by Akin's answer.

"Ah Jin, as a brilliant businessman, I'm sure you'll have a way. On the one hand, it meets my requirements, and on the other hand, it does not affect your principles. ”

“...... This one...... Well, Ashrufat, if your buyback price is low enough, that's fine. ”

"The buyback price is low enough?"

"I need a low enough buyback price. For example, you buy a scroll from me for eighty Geoli, and I buy it back with forty Geoli, and that's it. ”

"That's it?"

"Well, so I can split the magic scrolls into two tiers for different prices. One is a high-quality product of 80 gold oli, and the other is a defective product of 50 gold oli. This is a very common tactic in business, and no one can accuse me of violating the ethics of a businessman. Ah Jin explained. "It's up to the customer to decide which type they want to buy, you understand. ”

"Ah, I see. Ashrufat replied. "Very well, we can talk about this later......"

As he spoke, a servant came in at the door and made a gesture to him.

"Akin, I'm sorry, I'm in a bit of a hurry. Ashrufat said. "There's a meeting that you have to go to right away. ”

"Ah, then I won't bother. Ah Jin also had an expression of urgency to leave. He was also anxious to go back now to confirm the authenticity of the Elven Prince's power of attorney.

Ashrufat watched Akin leave, and then immediately walked down the aisle to another house on the side. This is a hastily arranged conference room, and the conference room is already full at this time.

When Ashrufat entered the door, almost all eyes were on him. He ignored the many stares and went straight to the top of the conference table. According to etiquette and custom, this position has always been reserved for the presiding officer of the meeting.

"Everyone," Ashrufat calmly glanced around the participants. These people look all sorts of people, ranging in height, shortness, fat and thinness, and their ages vary greatly, and even a large number of them are elderly. "Let me introduce myself, I am the Governor of Eagle Falcon City appointed by Her Majesty the Queen, Aeshurufat. I have summoned you here because I need your help for the time being. ”

He tapped his fingers on the tabletop. "I think you all know what I'm looking for you for. Actually, I don't want to hide it, yes, you are all - or once - Gruny's officials, but because you were ostracized and framed by that traitor Byron, you had to leave your position. On behalf of the Queen, I would like to apologize to all of you. It was a mistake to fail to discover Byron's plot of rebellion, and to treat all of you, the faithful people of Gruny, unfairly. Fortunately, Byron's rebellion failed, and he took away his friends, because on behalf of Her Majesty the Queen, I declare that from now on, all the officials will be reinstated! ”

He picked up a list that had been prepared for a long time and began to read it one by one. Those are the names of all of you and the official positions they previously held. Truth be told, it was all thanks to Rhodia's help, and if it weren't for her, Ashrufat wouldn't have been able to find all these available manpower in such a short period of time. These people can be said to have solved one of Ishrufat's biggest problems, they don't need to be trained or restarted, they are all familiar with the way and can get to work immediately.

Although Byron took the officials from the city, it was actually easy to find a group of people to replace them. But being able to find a suitable replacement in such a short period of time is also quite a success.

"Daken...... The dock tax collector ...... "Ashrufat quickly read the list. It can be seen from the clothing that most of these people are small nobles or commoners, all locals, and after leaving or retiring, life in Eagle Falcon City is not particularly good. They all seemed a little excited to be reappointed this time, and no one made any special suggestions.
