Chapter 362: Each has an abacus

"What should I do? Is it possible that the food we transported thousands of miles away would just be thrown here to rot? This is all my wealth. If it all falls here, my whole family will die together."
"Sir Copperfield, can't you think of a way? We only put so much into trusting you?"
"That is, if it weren't for you, how could we take such a big risk to ship grain here? This is inconsistent with what you vowed to say earlier, you must find a solution to it!"
"Shut up." Sir Copperfield roared with red eyes and splashing saliva. "A bunch of snobs, when did I confuse you? Which ear did you hear? Or which eye saw it? It’s not because you saw the money opened up and followed? Your money was not earned for me. Why should I share the loss for you? How can there be business without risk in this world? Speak out and listen, I also want to go Selling food for thousands of miles is a business of pinning your head to your waistband. Not to mention losing money. Losing your head is commonplace. No matter how long-winded, believe it or not, I cut your tongue!"
Sir Copperfield was still somewhat powerful, seeing that he was getting offended, others couldn't help but curtail their accusations.
"Let’s just say a few words, Lord Jazz was also bewitched by Archduke Buck. You just saw that you put your family's wealth on, but you didn’t see Jazz also put all your wealth on. Who would he call to reason? Sir, Quit their anger, they are also anxious, they don't hesitate to speak, and they don't necessarily blame all the blame on you. Is there really no other way we can think of?"
"It's not that there is no way," Sir Copperfield replied after hesitating for a while.
"What way? Hurry up."
"Yeah, when is this, it's still hidden."
The grain merchants were pleased and asked one after another.
Sir Copperfield answered the question, patted the table and said, "Hey, Colin, give me another cup of dragon tongue."
"This is the twenty-eighth time. I've already told you that the last glass of tetanus was in your stomach the night before, Sir." The bartender Colin Tan Tan Shou said, "The news that the food is unsalable, has been Back to my hometown, there has been no grain transport team coming up recently, and naturally there is no alcohol along with the goods. Now only rye beer is left."
"Why don't I remember? Are you sure you said it?" Sir Copperfield cursed with a dark face. "That thing is soft, and it tastes like it tastes like."
Damn, this is deliberately fooling them.
Revenge, this must be revenge for their previous bad words.
Sir Copperfield's face was dark, as were the faces of other grain merchants.
But at this time, the method that Sir Copperfield said became their last life-saving straw. Whether it was reliable or not, it was better than doing nothing at all.
But this matter obviously can't be used strong, if you completely annoy him, kick yourself out, who will cry?
For the benefit, this is nothing wrong.
A grain merchant accompanied a smiling face, and took out a silver flask from his arms and said: "Sir, this is a spirit made from old grains at home. The taste may be a little different from that of agave, but the taste is still in the past. , It really doesn't work, use this instead?"
"I have such a good thing." Sir Copperfield snatched it and took two sips with his head up unceremoniously. "Good wine is more enjoyable than agave. Mr. Calorie will not go into the spirits business. Pity."
"The spirits business, that is the pillar industry of the lord family. It is not our little shrimps that can get involved, that is, when there are too many old grains, we can make a little bit to reward our family." The grain merchant Calorie said with a smile, "It can satisfy Lord Sir's appetite. It’s my greatest honor. There are three bottles left in my team, and they will be given to Lord Jazz."
"Then I'm welcome." Copperfield looked around and said coldly, "Looking at Mr. Calorie's spirits, I will show you a clear path, but if it can be done, I will I can't guarantee it."
"A way to go is better than no clue."
"Whether it is successful or not, we have all written down the kindness of your lord."
The attitude of these food merchants changed 180 degrees, and they looked at Sir Copperfield eagerly.
Copperfield didn't sell it this time, and directly replied: "The Swamp of Despair has more than one army. If this one cannot be sold, the other can't be sold."
The Huayu Plateau grain merchant looked at each other. After a while, the grain merchant named Calorie carefully guessed and asked: "The Lord Sir means that we will sell the grain to the Yongye leader and the Crocodile tribe?"
"Can't it?" Copperfield asked rhetorically.
"We are transporting food for the Kingsley family. Now we are going to sell the food to their enemies. Is this appropriate?" Some food merchants did not turn their minds for a while.
After all, because of the Kingsley family, they transported food all the way.
"Yeah, why didn't I think of it before? Transporting food for the Kingsley family? Who said we transported food for the Kingsley family? They didn't sign a contract with us, and it's not that we didn't sell them the food. , But they don’t want it. They don’t want it, and don’t allow us to sell it to others? There is no such arrogant truth in the world, and given their current situation, there is no way to stop us from doing anything."
"The Kingsley family no longer cares about our life or death, why should we care about them? When there is any dissatisfaction, we will also look for our lord, and will not find us. You don't sell, I sell."
"I also sell!"
"Count me in."
"What's in a hurry? You are willing to sell, it doesn't mean that they are willing to accept it. They don't seem to be short of food. I heard that the Baron Yongye has a close relationship with Her Royal Highness Princess Regent, usually directly from the plains of Asia Minor. The low-priced food shipped, will people buy our food?"
"Can you still expect our food to be sold at a high price as it was previously sold to the Kingsley family? It can be dealt with at a low price and recover a certain cost. It is better than bad in our hands. As long as you make a certain profit, I believe Yongye The military leaders should not account for our previous sales of military rations to the Kingsley family. After all, we are just a group of businessmen who support the family."
"But we have nothing to do with the leader of Yongye. We don't understand them. If we transport the food in a hurry, they will destroy us as the Kingsley family's food transport team. Will it be a loss of people and money? ?"
"Nonsense, this kind of thing must of course be communicated well in advance. Let me say, this kind of thing, we should still hold a group. Only when the group is held can we better negotiate terms and prices, just like the previous negotiations with Duke Buck. We are not after all. Kingsley people, but Blaine people, Yongye Army leader wants to move us, always take care of the face of the Blaine family."
"That's the truth. Only by uniting is the kingly way. If we tear each other down, it will only make everyone suffer. It's just a question of the person who will go to the Yongye Army to lead the negotiations."
Sir Copperfield awakened the dreamer with a single word, and made these grain merchants open their minds, and the babble of discussion made things go smoothly.
After experiencing the negotiations with Grand Duke Buck, these grain merchants on the Huayu plateau have tasted the benefits of Baotuan. After this incident, the first thing that came to mind was Baotuan.
Because only by holding a group together and letting their people and food look large can they have the confidence to negotiate terms with the Kingsley family and the leader of the Yongye Army.
On the issue of whether to sell food to Yongye Army leader, an agreement was reached without difficulty.
Just kidding, as long as someone is willing to take over their food, even if the price is lower than the normal price, they will recognize it, at least they can recover a certain loss, and will not lose everything.
As for transporting back to Huayu Plateau, they didn't even think about it. In that case, it would only make the loss even greater.
The main question now is whether the Yongye Army leader is willing to take over their food.
When it comes to negotiating candidates, everyone's eyes can't help but fall on Copperfield.
"What do you guys see me doing? You still count on me to get ahead this time? It's no good to get things done. If you don't get it done, you will have to be infamy. A fool will do it. Whoever loves to go, I won't go anyway." Sir Terr cursed.
This is typically referring to the sang and cursing the Huai, and talking about it.
"Master Jazz calmed down. This is all things in the past. They are just anxious. They are not aimed at Jazz. Don't you say it?" The grain merchant Calorie felt invisibly with Sir Copperfield because of the half-pot of wine. I got close a lot and took the initiative to make a round, while other grain merchants kept winking.
"Mr. Calorie is right. I was just messed up before, and I did not hesitate to speak. The respect for the jazz in my heart has never diminished. If it hurts the feelings of Lord Jazz, I sincerely apologize here, regardless of everyone's face. Since you all have a family, I also ask Lord Sir to save us."
"Please also Sir Sir Sir, forgive us for our previous ignorance. In order to show our sincerity, if the transaction can be successful, I am willing to spend one-tenth of the food and money to compensate the previous harm to Sir Sir."
"This matter is none other than the Lord Jazz. On that occasion, we big bosses will only make speech improper and break the big event. Please also Jazz must take the initiative."
Those food merchants babbled, both apologizing and emotional cards. They tried to get Sir Copperfield out and negotiate with the leader of Yongye. In their eyes, Copperfield was after all Aristocratic background is more likely to succeed.
"It's not impossible to ask me to go, but let's say one thing in advance." Sir Copperfield took the opportunity to open the terms.
"If the Jazz needs us to cooperate, just say, as long as we can do it, we will definitely go all out."
"Everyone is out to discuss life, it is not easy. The previous things are over. I don't care about it and don't want everyone's money compensation. However, contacting Yongyejun will inevitably involve price negotiations. I have full authority. After the negotiation, no matter how high or low the price is, there must be no complaints." This time Sir Copperfield was savvy and decided to be a villain first and then a gentleman. It is best to break the relationship with these profit-only villains. .
"This is natural, the character of the jazz is here. No matter the result, we will be convinced. There will be no objection to this."
"Yes, since we recommend the Jazz here, the Jazz will naturally handle it flexibly. If anyone is not convinced, he can withdraw."
"We have no objections."
Sir Copperfield drank the spirits in the silver jug, changed his previous decadence, and said impassionedly: "Well, since everyone looks at me so much, I will lick my face and go out again. Can you? I dare not guarantee success. The only thing I can guarantee is that I will do my best to strive for the best interest for you."
His previous decadence is not without the taste of acting.
He had thought of the strategy of selling food to Yongye Army Leader, but he hadn't released it for a long time.
On the one hand, it was hurt by the despicable temperament of these food merchants;
On the other hand, they deliberately make them anxious for a period of time and take the initiative to send them to the door, which makes it easier for them to take the initiative.
If before that, I took the initiative to come to the door, I don't know how these guys are thinking about it, if the price can't sell, they think that they are deliberately entrapped by the Yongye army leader.
The last thing has taught Sir Copperfield a vivid lesson, and he has a deeper understanding of the principles of harming and defensive, even if he is doing what he thinks is good. Also keep one hand.
"The kindness of Sir, we will never forget each other."
"If the food can be sold smoothly, when we return to the plateau, I will invite Sir to drink the strongest wine."
"Not only the strongest wine, but the fullest woman."
"You can have the strongest wine, even the bustest woman, I don't have your heavy taste." Sir Copperfield's answer caused a roar of laughter, and the gloom over the days seemed to dissipate a lot.
Sir Copperfield continued with a solemn expression: "In three days, I will set off to the Donau River to make preliminary contact with the leader of the Yongye Army. Before that, we will prepare as much as possible. The quantity of food needs to be counted and sorted out. Only when I know what I have in mind, can I bargain with Yong Yejun leader."
"Please don't worry about this, Sir. Before you leave, we will definitely give you an accurate number."
"Now the situation in the Swamp of Despair is chaotic. In order to ensure safety, let's put together the elite soldiers in our hands and form a temporary guard for the Jazz to drive?"
"This suggestion is good, I agree."
"I agree too."
"I take your kindness to my heart~EbookFREE.me~ After all, we are doing business, not for war. Bringing too many people will only cause unnecessary misunderstandings. Then, I can draw three Famous knights, you help me make up seven more, and I will take a small team of knights on the road, that's enough."
"Sure, we listen to jazz."
Soon these food merchants from the Huayu Plateau reached an agreement internally and began to work hard for their own survival.
The reversal of the situation in the Swamp of Despair will have a wide range of impacts, not just one family.
The Kingsley family's conquering army is now sitting in the air.
When there is a serious shortage of food, it will also be the time when various problems break out.
This situation can be predicted by anyone with a bit of military common sense.
General Akmeser has prepared for the terrible situation that is about to face.
It is nothing more than starting from two aspects-increasing income and reducing expenditure.
