Chapter Twenty-Four: Gray

The bandits lurking on the road waited for someone or a caravan to come, but for several days, no one came, and the caravan was completely cut off.

"Hey, Gray, come over and watch, what are you doing lying there?!" said a thief who saw that one of his companions was not checking on the situation with the cat, but was lying leisurely in the sun.

After hearing the words of the bandits, Gray sighed, opened his eyes and said: "I won't say everything, there won't be any people with oil and water on this road, and those who are walking this road now are either nothing, or they are not afraid of us, and after staring at them for a long time, have you found anything? No." ”

"Hmph, you dare to be lazy in front of us, if you let the masters see it, you will definitely be taught a lesson. The bandit said dissatisfied.

"I'll bet you, when you go back today, the boss will definitely see me, will you fight?" said Gray.

The thief said unconvinced: "Fight and fight, what if you lose?"

"If I lose, I will give you twenty silver coins on my body, and if you lose, call me eldest brother in the future and listen to me. How's that?" said Gray.

As soon as the other people heard that this condition had nothing to lose to them, they all agreed.

"Okay, that's it. ”

Gray smiled and said, "You are determined to lose, but there is no loss, anyway, after a few masters saw me, I was also a member of the family, you call me big brother, don't be wronged." ”

After listening to Gray's words, several thieves couldn't help but roll their eyes, they were too good at bragging.

One of them couldn't help but say, "Gray, how can you blow so well? Why do you think you can be in charge?"

"If you don't believe it, forget it, you remember, what I say, there will be absolutely no problem. Gray said.

“...... I didn't bother to roll my eyes. The bandits said speechlessly.

One day there was no one on the road, so I went back. After eating, everyone was ready to go to rest. The bandit came to Gray and said, "Lose, I didn't see you, silver, silver." ”

Gray smiled, and before he could speak, a thief saw Gray and said, "The big boss sees you, hurry up." ”

"I'll go, boss, do you really want to see Gray?" the thief asked in disbelief.

The thief who came looked at his little brother, frowned slightly, and said, "Nonsense, didn't I just say it?

"I'm sorry, but the silver coins are gone. Gray smiled and left the place, to the big boss.

Walking into the lobby and seeing several of the heads of the house sitting there, Gray saluted the crowd.

When the big boss saw Gray saluting, he immediately said enthusiastically: "Brother Gray, sit down." ”

Gray was uninhibited, and found a place to sit.

"You are the son of the Huwels brothers, and you should have been with you a long time ago, but you also know about our cottage, and these days I don't know why, there is no one left. The big boss began to complain.

Gray laughed secretly and said, "Yes, I've been following my brothers to check these days, and it's really deserted. ”

"Before, Brother Gray said that he could get financial food, how did he do it?" the second boss didn't get into the main topic for a long time, and said a little impatiently.

"Second master, this, it's hard to say, it's not difficult to say, it's not difficult. Gray said, "Why doesn't the trade come to this way?"

"Damn, are you scared of being robbed?" said the second master.

"No, if you were afraid, you would never have lost the caravan at this time. Besides, don't you notice that there are more patrols along the road, and even if a few merchants come in, they are all guarded, making it difficult for us to start?" Gray asked.

The big boss thought about it and found that it was indeed Gray who said this, and looked at Gray curiously.

"The Chamber of Commerce in Moore City took the initiative to cut off the trade routes here. As for why, the lord who came to the town of Tarnuma now is the fourth prince, and the lord of Moore City is the uncle of the second prince, so we can know what's going on. ”

"What is the fourth prince, the second prince, what does this have to do with us, if this business route can't be used, will our cottage be built for nothing?" said the second master impatiently.

"Well, I raised this issue when my father was still alive, but he didn't agree. Now things are wrong, to be honest, there is really no other way, and if there is, I will not mention such a way. Gray looked sad and said, "Let's be merchants!"

"Ah?!" everyone in charge of the work was dumbfounded, and they didn't react for a long time, and even if they did, they couldn't figure out how to deal with the copycat crisis, and the only solution would be to be a businessman, is there a connection between the two?

"Ladies and gentlemen, what are we doing as thieves for? Is it for faster money? Or is it for robbery? If it's for robbery, I'll forget it. If it's for money, my idea is definitely faster than grabbing it!" Gray said.

"Tell me, how can it be faster than robbing?" said one of the masters.

"First of all, this is the main trade route in the town, and the bulk goods have to come in and out of here, and we control this trade route. Secondly, the Chamber of Commerce cut off the trade route with the town, that is to say, the goods in the town can't come out at all, although they want to deal with it through the merchants, but where can the merchants have the ability to digest the goods in the town, so a large number of goods must be hoarded there, and finally, the goods in the town, especially some characteristic goods, are still quite popular in Moore City, and the price is good. Gray said, clapping his hands and smiling, "We can collect the goods from the town at a low price and sell them to the merchants of Moore City at a high price." As soon as it changes hands in the middle, it will be at least several times the profit!"

After hearing Gray's words, everyone's eyes were getting brighter and brighter.

A man with some business experience asked worriedly, "What if the other party lowers the price?"

Then everyone looked at him like idiots, Gray put his hand on the knife at his waist, and said with a slight smile: "We are not real businessmen, and if it doesn't work, we will use knives." They're not afraid, what are we afraid of?"

After hearing Gray's words, the second master immediately applauded and said, "That's good, big brother, Brother Gray is very right to our appetite, what do you say?"

The big boss nodded and said, "Yes, you are worthy of being the son of the Huwels brothers, and in the future, you will be the sixth master of this cottage." Business, third, you go with Brother Gray and take care of this little brother of Gray. ”
