Vol 4 Chapter 84: Visitors in Augsburg

Tomnio sat on the chair and gently peeled the fig shell in front of him, and at the same time, he glanced at the man who was eating across the table from time to time. He put the fruit in his mouth and squeezed slightly. ring.
Seeing the opponent's hand seemed to stop and continue to cut the meat on the plate, Tomnio's mouth began to move.
The person sitting on the opposite side still lowered his head and ate the minced meat on the plate in a cautious manner. His movements were very careful, and he seemed afraid that the minced meat would fall to the ground.
When chewing, he will keep moving his mouth repeatedly, as if he must squeeze all the flavour from the meat.
Alexander entered the room at this time.
When he saw the man sitting in the back of the chair, Alexander first stood and stopped, and then continued to move forward to the center of the long table, where the chair and the one on the table were prepared for him Lunch.
Lunch is not very rich, except for a glass of purple Portuguese wine is pretty good, other things are very simple, a few pieces of chicken that have been torn open in advance, a fish, a small plate of diluted beverages and figs mixed with milk in brine, there is A long loaf of bread.
Looking at the food on the table, Alexander glanced at Tomnio with surprise, and when Tomnio shrugged his shoulders, he glanced at the man on the other side.
The other person's eyes seemed to perceive, raising his head and nodded slightly to Alexander.
"It's an honor to see you count."
The other party's voice was calm and steady, and there did not seem to be any big fluctuations because the opposite was a prince and count.
His kind of calmness made Alexander realize that this is indeed a person who has seen the world. In fact, it is true. This person has seen too many big people, and some of them, even Pope Alexander VI, ca n’t underestimate them. .
Alexander sat down slowly, watching the man continue to eat his share of food like him very carefully, then slowly picked up the glass of milk and took a sip.
The taste was not so good, and Alexander frowned slightly.
He has not been used to using milk as a soup in staple food, but this era is very popular for this kind of eating, so whenever someone sees him drinking sweet soup, it will feel very strange.
This meal was a bit boring. Except for the greeting at the meeting, the man always bowed his head to eat, and Tomnio had already finished eating at this time, but because of the inconvenience of leaving the seat, he could only sit and use it repeatedly. Sharpened a small wooden pick to pick his teeth.
Tomnio actually wanted to leave long ago. The person across the table made him uncomfortable. Whether it was his dullness or the kind of people who looked at it, he was very upset, but as long as he thought about the other person ’s Identity, Tomnio is reluctant to leave, after all, there are not many opportunities to eat with such a person.
Alexander also felt that this person was a bit dull. What's worse was that he could feel that the other party seemed to be pressing him in this way, which made him feel a little troublesome.
Are you ready to give me a good look before you start? Alexander thought unpleasantly.
He certainly understands that the attitude of this person means that he wants to take the initiative from the beginning, but he feels that the other party should not really understand what he is about to face, otherwise he will not be so calm.
Alexander slightly raised his hand to signal Uliu to come. When the man looked up slightly curiously, Alexander whispered to Uliu to prepare something he could eat. For the one on the plate, only hot water was used. The cooked fish smelled the obvious fishy smell on it and he could not eat it.
Wuliu left silently, and he has been familiar with the owner ’s eating habits for two years, but Wuliu has been wondering why the owner would be so persistent about the taste of food. Although the fish on the table The taste is ordinary, isn't it good?
After a while, Uliu walked up with a large plate. Under the watch of two people on both sides of the table, they saw a piece of food placed in the middle of the plate.
A few slices of bread cut into triangles, sandwiched between thin slices of meat, a layer of cheese that looks quite appetizing, and a slice of eggs and a few lettuce.
Looking at this weird food, even the person across the table couldn't help but stop and looked strangely at the Moors walking by.
Alexander didn't wait for Uliu to put down the plate, reached for the sandwich directly, and then bite under the gaze of the left and right.
The taste was not bad, except that the seasonings were slightly lighter, and Alexander nodded slightly to Uliou as an affirmation of him, and then he took the wine and swallowed hard.
It seemed to have bitten a little bit earlier, and choked.
Looking at Alexandria, Tomnio felt refreshed. Although he was not satisfied with Alexandria, the indifference and arrogance that this person had shown from the beginning had already irritated him a little.
As the Duke of Pisa, and being treated so rudely in his own Duke's palace, Tomno felt very annoyed, but the identity of the other party made him unable to vent.
Now looking at Alexandria, he seemed to ignore the other party and eat his own food. Tomnio felt as if he was breathing out.
The man finally finished, he drank the last bite of wine and gently pushed forward the empty glass and the empty plate, and then looked at Alexander who was eating constantly.
Alexander is actually very anxious. In addition to the guest in front of him, he still has a lot of things to do. The whole pizza is like a huge factory that needs someone to check it at any time, or a beast that is hungry and hungry. In order to see everything, Alexander had to pay attention to the movement of this beast at all times to prevent it from getting mad because of "disorderly eating".
"My name is Gult Fugger," the man leaned forward as Alexander swallowed his last bite of the sandwich. "As recommended by one of our mutual friends, the emperor of the Kotschah palace, he I think you have a business to talk to our Fugel family. "
Listening to the arrogant tone vaguely revealed by the other party, Alexander carefully wiped his hands with a wet towel and then turned to look at the messenger sent by the Fugger family.
On the other side of the table, Tomnio's breath was a little quick, and as a former businessman he knew too much what the name Fugger meant.
It was wealth, endless wealth and opportunities. He knew that if he had the opportunity to do business with this family, he would be able to turn pizza into a wealth capital that makes everyone jealous. Maybe by that time he could be completely Get rid of the shackles from other people.
Tomno's eyes glanced at Alexander, and he felt that he might not have waited for this opportunity.
"I want to know your status in the Fugger family," Alexander said quietly, seeing the slightly raised eyebrows of the other party, he still continued. "I think Miyazaki may not have said clearly, I want It ’s not a business but a plan to talk to the Fugger family, a plan that is enough to decide too many things, so if your identity is not enough to take on this responsibility, I suggest you better go back now and change it. The weighty people come, otherwise it will only waste our time. "
Tomnio's mouth opened slightly, and he no longer knew whether to be happy or angry.
This Gombre was so rude to the people of the Fugel family, which should have been a good thing, because as long as the opportunity to show the good, it is possible to easily get the favor of the person in front of him.
A person in the Fugel family represents wealth, and gaining their friendship is like getting a key to open the door to the world of wealth.
But this thought just floated up and was replaced by the rest of the panic.
This is the palace of Pisa, and there is a master sitting here, but the people of the Fugger family are despised and insulted in front of themselves!
Just thinking about the possible consequences for this, Tomno's face could not be restrained and the smile disappeared instantly.
Because the meaning of Fugel ’s surname is too clear, it is even clearer what happens if the family is angered.
If it were n’t for the last reason to remind yourself not to be impulsive, Tomnio would almost jump up from his chair and yell at Alexander.
The man named Gult Fugger didn't have a fire, he just looked at Alexander with some surprise.
For him, the count from this small place is too bold. Although he has been sentenced to death in his heart, the calmness he has worked out with his uncle over the years has made him not so angry.
Gult Fogel's hand tapped the table lightly, his gaze paused slightly on Alexander's face, and he needed to see if the other party was bluffing.
In two generations, the Fugger family can accumulate huge wealth that no other generation can have, relying not on luck, but on smart mind and keen insight.
From the beginning of their family's decisive choice to support the Bohemian Kingdom and obtaining great returns, the Fugel family is keen to observe and tap the potential seeds that other people have not yet seen through their unique eyes. They believe that through careful analysis It is possible to find out who among those people is worth investing and can bring them huge returns, and who is only a flash in the pan, and then everyone is surprised.
Gult Fogel calmly observed the young man on the opposite side. Of course, he wouldn't think that he could see if the other party was bluffing with just a few glances, but wanted to use this time to figure out what the person said.
Whether a plan is feasible does not depend on how perfect the plan is, but whether the basis for making the plan is reliable.
Guert Fugel remembered that his uncle had told him that if someone boasted that he could make 100,000 gold coins overnight, he would not treat this person as a lunatic, but would only let him prove how to make money first.
"Count, I think you already know that we have given you some help before," Guert Fogel said quietly. "If you want to get more, you have to prove that you are worth the investment of our Fogel family, then I think Do you know how to prove it? "
Alexander knew that the person's help was to instruct the Roman Jews to find Julia Farne, and this really helped him a lot.
If this is because the Fugger family is optimistic about the exhibition of the free trade zone that is now modeled on Pisa, then as the person of the Fugger family said, Alexander must produce more things to prove that he is worthy of continued investment.
Alexander nodded gently, he knew that it was time to come up with something that could prove himself, otherwise the Fugger family might still invest because of the FTZ plan he liked, but it would not be as he imagined. With a big investment, even then they will use the power behind them to move their brains and want to completely annex themselves.
This requires a huge plan, a plan that is big enough to make capital families such as Fugel excited, but because of the interests of the parties involved, he dare not easily deal with him.
So is there such a plan? Alexander smiled slightly.
Looking at Alexander's look, Guert Fogel nodded quietly.
Alexander needs more support, and the Fugels need to know whether the investment is reliable.
Both sides have set conditions, only to see if the other side can make themselves satisfied.
Tomnio sat there and looked at the two people in front of him. In a trance, he faintly felt that here, he seemed to have nothing to do.
In Lukrecia's riverside residence, Guert Fogel looked slightly curiously at Lukrecia sitting beside Alexander.
He knew who this unusually beautiful young woman was, and had heard stories about her and Alexander.
But this obviously does not impress this Fugel.
He looked at the young men and women on the opposite side with scrutiny, and wondered if Alexander thought that seducing the pope ’s daughter was the greatest capital, then he would immediately go home.
Then he wondered how to Pisa from Alexander and other ports that seemed promising.
The Fugger family may have the character of kindness, but it will never give away to those who think they can take advantage of them.
"Count, our time is very precious, so please let me see what you use to prove your sincerity now," Guert Fogel looked at Alexander seriously.
Alexander nodded, and he knew it was time for the two parties to come up with their respective chips and really negotiate.
"As far as I know, the Fugger family is preparing to mine one of the largest copper mines in Hungary, is that true?"
Gult Fogel raised his eyebrows slightly, but nodded silently.
"Then I want to know, I don't know how your family views the Ottoman invasion."
Gult Fogel's eyebrows became more obvious this time. He couldn't think of the intention of Alexander's words, because of this he had a passive sense of being held back by the other party at the beginning of the negotiation.
Guert Fogel knew it was bad, and he was vaguely alert.
He thought about it first, and then said cautiously: "We certainly hope that we can resist the invasion of pagans, which is very important for all of us, even businessmen are more willing to deal with credit-worthy customers. , Not a brutal and unbelievable person like the Ottoman Sultan. "
Listening to this, Alexander nodded slightly in agreement.
He knew that the sentence behind Guert Fugel was indeed sincere. After all, for a businessman, a country that would often use violent means to force or even embezzle private property is the worst.
In Ottoman, the Sultan and his Viziers rely on the power in their hands to destroy commitments and tear up treaties at will, and then directly confiscate embezzlement because they are coveting the wealth of businessmen. It is not uncommon.
The Ottomans completely disregarded credit, and sometimes even more than born to Europeans, even their own businessmen may suffer because the rich are coveted by the nobles.
"You are right," Alexander nodded gently. "So I think the Fugel family must be more concerned about whether they can resist the Ottomans, because now Moravia has surrendered to the Ottomans, and the next is Hungary and even Posey. Mia and Poland. "
Guert Fogel listened silently. Although he didn't understand what Alexander meant for these, he knew that the young count was right.
Even within the Fugger family, there is great disagreement about whether to invest heavily in Hungary's copper mines.
What impressed Gult the most was his uncle, Jacob Fogel, the head of the Fugel family, was uncertain about this matter.
In Gult's impression, his uncle is a general who has never been unfavorable in the mall. Even in his memory, his uncle has never been frustrated in business. His keen insight into people's hearts and almost magical wealth Intuition, let the Fugger family rise as a dazzling star from Augsburg, Germany, and then Jacob Fugger led the whole family on an unstoppable road to glory.
But such a person still has some difficulty in deciding whether to invest heavily in the copper mine in Hungary.
There are certainly some other reasons in addition to the risks that Ottoman invasions such as Alexander said, and even some real wealth giants such as Jacob Fogel can't help but look forward and hesitate. .
Gult thought this, and couldn't help looking at the opposite Alexander.
Does this young man know what we are worried about, but how is this possible?
And what if he knew?
Could it help us solve that problem?
Gult Fugger's eyebrows are about to screw together ~ EbookFREE.me ~ He thinks this time is probably a vain, maybe only a closer look at how the pizza market suddenly becomes so active, and then Find some tips in it, so as not to return completely empty-handed.
Thinking of this, Gult Fogel was about to speak, but heard Alexander suddenly say: "If the Fogel family is worried that the mining rights of the Hungarian copper mine obtained from the emperor may be affected by the Bohemian king Obstruct, I think maybe I can help you solve this problem. "
Hearing this, Guert Fogel, who had always been calm, suddenly froze all over, stunned!
