At that time, everyone saw Gould's sword cut off the sword of the great leader Ungreave. Gould even showed a look of contempt for Ungreef, as if this guy's so-called The discussion is to ask everyone to support him as the new leader.
The merchants initially felt that the sword was a treasure and it was worth spending a lot of money for it.
Because of the desire to compare, people can’t help but get ahead of themselves in the bidding, and in order to compete to prove their wealth, they start to keep raising the price!
If it is true that Gould is tired of the life of a businessman and feels that he can be a businessman and a leader at the same time, the businessmen will now want to curry favor with this fat guy for their own future interests.
While Ungrieve was stunned, more than a dozen businessmen were chattering about the price. Gould also stuck his sword on the ground and watched the development of the situation.
The price has reached one thousand silver coins! Five people have already stopped!
Later the price reached 1,300 silver coins, and four people were still fighting for it.
In the end, a businessman whose face turned red from holding back his emotions, and the veins on his forehead were about to explode, came up with a crazy price.
"Two pounds of gold! That's two pounds of gold! Don't follow me. This sword from the north belongs to me!"
After learning the price, Gould also Shocked: "Fo Degen? Are you sure?"
The businessman named Fo Degen stood up suddenly. At this moment, he was covered in sweat, and his body was trembling violently. There was no way to calm down the excitement.
Fordgen beat his chest hard: "I never break my promise! Two pounds of gold, buy this sword! I swear on my honor."
"Okay ! This sword that can cut off everything is for you."
Ungreave, he witnessed the madness that only belongs to a group of businessmen! Two pounds of gold is twenty pounds of silver! After all, Ungreave can also take out this money, but if he does take it out, his family will immediately fall into poverty, and even the wages to his employees will not be paid, and his own life will become difficult.
When it came to the merchants, it seemed that they didn't care about the two pounds of gold.
Actually, it was just an act. When merchants take out two thousand silver coins, they usually bleed heavily. Only people like Gould won't feel particularly painful.
Gould believed that his friends would not break their promise, but then again, the businessmen were not very trustworthy, because he had just broken his promise to Ungreave.
Gould specifically ordered his Jevro to stare at the businessman Voldegen, and said to himself: "When the meeting is over, you take the money to my house, and I will personally give you this sword. Return it. Yes, I will give you some different gifts, you will be very happy."
"Oh? Really? I think the brothers will go back then, and we will start from You buy things here! I'm going to the south to find the southernmost tribe. I hope you can make a lot of money."
"Then I wish you good luck." That being said, going to the south is very risky. It would be terrible if we encountered Danish gangsters! Youdao means finding wealth in danger, and Gould can only wish this friend a safe journey.
Ungrieve’s expression became complicated, as if this ceremony was a farce performed by businessmen.
Ungreave held his old face and watched Gould finish his performance with mixed emotions. Then with obvious anger, he slowly asked: "Now, what's your business?" It’s time to end. Tell me, what else do you want to say?”
“Of course I have something to say.” Gould fully understood that he had offended this guy. Maybe my behavior is not very wise, so what?
Gould first slowly raised his fat body and stood up, then bowed softly and humbly, and then faced everyone present.
“Friends, I thought about many things before returning home. I think I should move to the territory of the Russians. Only in that way can my wealth continue to increase in value and my wealth be fully Guarantee."
As soon as this was said, the businessmen were speechless.
Even the great leader Angreev could not imagine Gould's wishes.
"Gould, what did you say?"
"I have decided! I want to go to the Russians!" Gould turned his head and looked at Ungreave. .
"You? Don't you just stay with the Russians for most of the year? Do you mean...you want to move? Is that true?"
"Yes! I am. To move. I have decided that before the first snow falls, most of my fortune will be moved to Roseburg!" said Gould with excitement. His face was also extremely rosy: "From now on, Angklas will lose one of the richest people like me. This may give other people more opportunities. Maybe you will also be happy."
In response, Ungrieve responded with a bitter smile for the time being.
Happy? Really happy? !
When it comes to reality, Ungreave certainly does not like the very wealthy Gould. This man has never had the will to compete for position for many years, but no one can ignore this man's powerful power. Especially the fifty warriors raised by this "fat seal". They were a group of elites, more capable than the farmers gathered together.
Ungreave hoped that Gould would lose this terrible power, but he did not want him to leave Unclas forever.
Why? Every time Gould came back from the north, he would sell some goods that were useful to his tribe. It was also him who was willing to purchase the tribe's excess agricultural products, so that the farmers did not have to row their own boats to the Mälaren market to earn a small amount of money as a traveling merchant.
Theoretically, it is the same to buy agricultural products locally from merchants of the same tribe and sell them to anyone. For maybe ten or twenty years, Gould's family has always been the largest acquirer, and they never refuse anyone who comes!
The businessmen started talking about it, and soon, their attitudes became unified, that is, they tried their best to retain Gould, who wanted to run away.
Since the merchants had such an attitude, the hesitant Angreev slammed the table.
He was angry, and at this moment he could only say in a low voice: "Can you not leave? You still keep your family in Ankelas, don't forget that you are an Ankelas person. ”
“Yes! I have never forgotten that I am an Onkras person wherever I go. I just plan to make my home with the Ross people. This is my freedom... Gould put on an intriguing smile and asked slowly: "Do you still want to expel me?"
"You! I..." Ungreave was defeated. He was stunned for a while, pouting and shaking his head: "Well, that's your freedom, I have no right to interfere."
In fact, Gould knew that Ang, as the big leader, Grif has the power to declare a tribesman to be an enemy of the tribe and should be expelled.
Of course Ungreave wouldn’t dare to do this! No matter what Ungreave's inner thoughts were, Gould estimated that the main part of his family had moved to Roseburg. In the end, all that was left in Ungreave's hometown was a small dealership of his own, and the family's influence was not that great. It will be much weaker.
However, placing the "family base" in Onkras completely limits the development of his own power.
Capital has no motherland, and Gould has basically realized this truth. It is entirely because the Russians can give themselves more wealth and guarantee the safety of their wealth that they choose to move.
Realistically speaking, if the people of Melalen can provide more considerable benefits and safety guarantees, then my home in Melalen will not be as simple as a sales place.
Now Gould only believes in the Ross people, and he has more confidence in the Ross tribe under Rurik's rule in the future.
The big leader Angreev was powerless to face the reality. Gould looked at the faces of other businessmen and saw their regrets clearly.
Gould clapped his hands hurriedly: "Friends, don't be sad about the future. Just because I'm moving doesn't mean I'm leaving Onclas forever. I can assure you that I will keep my manpower. I will arrange for one of my sons to run the business of Onkras full-time. You can still sell me the agricultural products as usual, and I can still get whatever I want. And... this year’s situation is indeed special.”
< p>"Special?" Ungrieve asked, holding his chin and sullenly: "What's so special? Agricultural products are not valuable.""This year is different! The big leader of Ross told me something , I will ship the new wheat in the autumn to Roseburg, and he will pay me double the market price. I think this matter is obviously profitable for you."
"You?" Ungriev, who was still depressed just now, smelled a business opportunity in an instant, and his mood instantly improved a lot, as did other businessmen. "Aren't you kidding? Double the money?!"
"Exactly!"
"Oh, thank you for telling me this." Angreev pinched his beard, "Since that Otto suddenly became so generous, I can organize it myself The fleet made this money by transporting wheat."
Gould was unmoved. He left his seat, walked confidently in the chamber, and continued: "That's me and. Otto's agreement is also an agreement with Rurik. They will fulfill this agreement with me, and they have no obligation to perform the contract. Of course you can transport the wheat, and they will buy it at the market price. , Don’t you know that they get a lot of wheat for free from those in the east every year?”
Ungreev suddenly raised his head: “Novgorod? A place?"
"Yes, a very far away place"
"Forget it." Angreev shook his head, "It's too far away. It's dangerous. My people don't want to take risks. They just want to farm in peace and exchange wheat for wealth." Gould narrowed his eyes and asked deliberately: "Are you all willing to make money in peace? Oh, you'd better not organize a fleet. You may not know that the vast sea is full of pirates. Only people like me can organize large fleets to scare away pirates."
"You! ...What suggestions do you have?”
“Oh!” Gould deliberately stomped his feet and looked dejected: “Let’s do this. We have been brothers for generations. I plan to move. You can’t treat your brothers badly. Angreef, the great leader, I want you to make an agreement with other brothers!”
Gould explained to everyone present. Plan for yourself: "I will make an agreement with you. This autumn, you can sell to me as much of the grain you produce, and I will give you a purchase price that is 20% higher than the market price."
After hearing this, Ang Grif slammed the table excitedly, causing the water glass on his table to overturn.
"Are you serious? 20%"
"Really!" Gould continued: "This is the case for us Anglas people, no matter who it is, they want you You are from Onkras. If you sell wheat to me before I return in the autumn, I will pay you 20% more. I don’t care how you get the wheat. If you get it for me, I will pay you more.”
Many businessmen know this business opportunity. They just want to know one thing, that is, whether "any means" is acceptable.
"Yes! Any means!" Gould emphasized again: "Even if you rob the Danes and finally ship the wheat to me, I will pay a price that is 20% higher than the market price. Acquisition. I will take out the ready-made silver coins immediately, and I will never default! Remember, I will give you such a preferential price because we are all Angklas people."
Itself, in the autumn. During the wheat harvest season, a large amount of wheat will be available in trade markets throughout Northern Europe. Because even if this is the caseNorthern European agricultural technology is extremely backward in time and space. As long as enough land is cultivated, farmers can still have some wealthy food.
Besides, through the accumulation of capital, wealthy families continue to purchase the land of bankrupt farmers at low prices, lease it to tenant farmers, and get a good harvest from it every harvest season. These wealthy families are the landowners and the powerful class of each tribe.
Ungreave's family has such a group of tenant farmers, so they were so excited when they heard about Gould's offer.
As for other businessmen, many of them are not only second-rate dealers, but also first-rate landlords.
Gould never imagined that his decision would cause the wealthy households in Onkras to desperately squeeze the wealth of the farmers of their tribe in exchange for the extra 20% profit.
Gould couldn't wait to get more food. He knew that although Rurik was a child, it was precisely this child who never broke his promise even when he did crazy things. Rurik still has many tasks assigned to him! Moreover, the food he obtained was transported to the child for the sole purpose of eating.
Gould had guessed that based on Rurik's attitude towards the servants, he would definitely order all the servants to eat wheat regularly. No matter what the purpose of entertaining the servants, after all, there will be a huge amount of food consumption here.
Rurik must need a lot of food, so he deliberately made the bold statement of purchasing 100% higher than the market price for food.
So, who would collect so much food for Rurik?
Gould estimated that relying on his own ability was not enough. The best way was to give up part of the benefits and let his tribe help. Other businessmen of their own tribe can collect food from all directions and exchange it for money on the spot.
In this way, Gould optimistically estimated that he would not have to send people to collect food personally. In this way, it seemed that he had lost 20% of the profit, but in fact he could get more food than he could get by himself. Your home will surely make a fortune inside and out!
With the extra time, I can do other things during this year’s warm period.
Rurik's demand for goods is extremely strong, and Gould knows it well. This year he will stay in Mälarenberg for a long time to supervise his uneasy eldest son's business, and at the same time at the market Buy all the useful goods and stock them up, and at the same time, sell all the soap you brought!
Some shrewd businessmen have realized that Gould’s bad face is completely a clumsy acting! Did this guy lose money? Pooh! They are obviously making a lot of money, but they are using others as tools.
Some businessmen cursed secretly in their hearts, while others laughed and laughed. With the addition of the big leader Angreef, everyone acted in a highly consistent manner even though they had their own agendas.
Gould's credibility is maintained through benefits. As long as the money given is enough, this person is absolutely credible.
A discerning person realizes that because of thisWith the high profits behind the business, Gould will fully implement his decision in four months.
In this way, no one became complicated because Gould announced his upcoming departure.
"Okay! This is our agreement, and I will fulfill it." Gould opened his arms: "I swear to Frey, the God of Wealth will bless us."
Ang Grif's ugly face had changed. He tapped his fingers on the table with interest and asked, "Will it always be like this in the future? If you buy it at this price every year, I will be very happy."
"This...if the Russians are always willing to pay such a price, I will be very happy." Gould emphasized again: "The sea is very dangerous, I will take this risk. As long as farmers can farm their land with peace of mind, I will pay Give them a lot of benefits. Now, you... you know, what I brought back from the Russians is not just a sword, I have more good things here."
"Good things? What a good thing?!" Angreev stretched out his head excitedly, then retracted and said suspiciously: "It can only be bought with four hundred silver coins."
"No. Such an exaggeration." Taking the opportunity, Gould promoted: "It is a magical tool that can clean even the dirtiest things. It is a treasure invented by the Russians. I have shipped it all."
"Well, there is such a magical thing? For example, my clothes..." Ungrieve speculated while pinching his sleeves.
"It will wash very clean. That tool weighs two pounds and can be used for a long time. I only need twenty silver coins, and I know you can afford it."
"Oh "Of course I can afford it." Angreev stood up: "Do you have any more good things?" "Of course. Come to my house now, all of you." They are my first customers, I can give you a preferential price."
As he spoke, Gould walked out of the meeting hall, and the businessmen also left the table and followed him.
Finally, Ungreave walked out of the room, accompanied by his servants. He was both excited and doubtful.
He really couldn’t figure it out. Did Gould receive any mental stimulation from the Russians this year? No! They are Russians, they may have become different!
There is a bad premonition that begins to linger in Angreev's mind. Maybe there are Russians in the north. This group of Russians is said to have been pushed to the north by the Melalen people a long time ago! Have they begun to challenge the power of the Alliance leader, the Mellaren people?
