Chapter 35: Chapter 35 - Business Talk
The armor room is a big room for trade. I was asked to wait a while, but I have a great feeling now. Besides, there are three bodyguards in the back. I also have a big barrel.
It's very annoying, but let's get rid of it. This deal will make a lot of money that made the previous transactions seem small.
After a while, an old man came. Harold that I met last time.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. Lord Rei Kuraki. As I said before, the chief is absent, so I'll speak to you in the name of the chief. May I?"
"Thank you for being so busy. I'm fine as long as I can negotiate. Thank you."
Now the place for business negotiations is ready. The rest is how far we can go.
We sat with each other, and after a break, I looked to the quiet head to continue the negotiation because I've been practicing many times in my head.
"First of all, I'd like to request production. It's a buoy, but I've made it before, so I don't think there's a technical problem. Please give me 100 buoys each."
Bring out the real one and hand it over. Harold took it, saw it for a while, then put it back on.
"So... It doesn't matter if it's about this level. Probably to lower the price."
"Thank you. And I want another fishing line."
I took a fishing picture from my chest. Joran this is a repair version.
It's the latest job with as many increases as possible. His performance is no match for the previous.
"Hmm... it's written in detail. Now you can start working."
"Thank you... It's delivery time, but how long before the sun comes up tomorrow?"
"Before the sun rises... Looks like you're in a hurry.
"There are many nobles who would like to use it immediately. I got 50, don't I?"
Harold put his hand on his chin and started thinking. I'm waiting for an answer, but it should be fine. It's a deal with the nobleman. Cymbal shop has to be willing to accept this.
"That's impossible."
"Heh!"
"There's no problem with this buoy, but Joran's not gonna be possible. Needs care, and even if you do a job cutting corners and making a bad impression on nobles..."
"Somehow... why not?"
"I'll help the crafters are resting. I have to borrow someone from someone else. It costs more money, doesn't it?"
Ugh... Is that so? Is this a price-raise strategy? It's my fault that I take it lightly because I think it's fine. Maybe work can be done without a problem. But anyway, it's a calculation to squeeze a lot of money. Harold's method is fine. Instead, this is a normal matter.
I can't go home angry here. There's no one else to ask, and I don't have time. It's my loss.
"Well, how much can you do?"
"500 gold coins"
"Well, Matimija..."
No matter how much you splash too much! As for the lure, it's like two to three gold coins. That's why the remaining fishing is worth it.
"Why don't you make it a little cheaper?
"Even if you say that you still have to gather people. Well, you can get away with just a little? What about 480 gold coins?"
"Heh, with 100 gold coins..."
"That's not the story, but I know I want to make it a little cheaper. How about 450 gold coins?"
"Must be a good relationship with the nobles. It should be a favor only by accepting this request. 150 gold coins!"
"I still have connections with many nobles. No change in the number of people is a little rising, but there are some things to consider. Gold coin 430."
"It will also sell the method of making special Joran. Selling methods of making are also troubling us. Given that, isn't that 200 gold coins?"
"I'm grateful to get a way to make it, but it's just one of the aristocrat hobbies like fishing. I can only get a little. It's like 400 gold coins."
"Still... Still..."
"It seems to be no more. Well, this time request from Rei, who is also his boyfriend. Let's give him up to 350 gold coins."
"... Thank you."
Harold will make a lot of money with 350 gold coins. Considering the cost of material, the real money is only about 50 gold coins. But I won't be able to eat anymore.
"Then let's start now. Hey, gather the crafters and start."
Harold's calling people to do the job right away. With this, the first round is my loss. But there's another one.
"Then let's continue to talk business next. Still? For example... one barrel in the back."
"Yes, this is my main one. I want you to buy this."
I received the barrel from the bodyguard waiting behind me, unlocked the lid, and removed the contents.
"It's pepper! What is this really pepper!"
"Yes, you can check it with your hands. He's got good quality."
Harold immediately picked up the pepper and checked it out one by one. Looks like the face that didn't make any movement at that point is a lie.
That should be too. Anyway, it's a money tree.
"How? I think it's a good deal.
"Of course. It's the first time I've seen the quantity and quality of this pepper. I want to know how to get it."
"I'm sorry, but I can't tell you that much. So... can I continue to negotiate?"
It's a pretty good response. If this is the problem, it's possible to earn a large amount of money at once. Anyway, pepper value equals the same amount of gold coins. With this amount, 700 large gold coins don't make sense. It's 70,000 gold coins. Now you can buy as much as you want!
"Yes, let's continue the business talk. With this pepper count, 10,000 gold coins."
"What?"
No, no, no, no! It's too cheap! You look too much on your feet! Did you see your leg? You just licked.
You can have a business conversation with anger, but let's just calm down here. Breathe... Exhale... Breathe... Okay!
"No matter what, it's too cheap. You need at least 80,000 gold coins."
"It's not worth it. Well, almost there, that's 15,000 gold coins."
"Isn't it worth it? Don't be stupid. I hear pepper is as valuable as the same amount of gold coins. You can't hand over 80,000 gold coins."
I don't know. I'm a little frustrated. You can't do a decent business with blood on your head. Take it easy.
"Can you? Then sell it to another company for 80,000 gold coins. I'm sorry, but what can I do."
"Now is it okay?"
"Yeah, it's okay, but... if there's a company besides us that can handle that much pepper."
It's over... This is just the best trade company in the country. I should have thought more. I need to be calmer.
Cymbals Shop is the best trade company in the country. That doesn't mean that other companies can't afford 80,000 gold coins. Still, it's hard to sell this much pepper.
Only royals buy pepper. It's not too common, but I can't afford it. So is there another company with royal bonds that buy this much pepper?
Is there a company that can sell to many nobles by dividing this amount even though it's sold in small amounts?
From now on, even if you try to get to know the nobles who use this pepper, only a few nobles will buy it when you hear that they bring something unmanned in Simbal's shop.
In other words, it's impossible to do big business in this country without a Simbal store.
If so, you can take him to another country instead of selling him here. But, as it stands, I want money. Especially the pepper still in the making stages. If it doesn't sell here, it's only supplies that will be wasted.
"Already... can you raise the price a little bit more?"
"Hmm... I'm a little sorry for this. Then 30,000 gold coins will be enough."
30,000 gold coins. Buy less than half the real price. But I can't negotiate to raise the price anymore. I'm dizzy because I'm so sorry.
"A little more..."
"I can't. I can't bring it up again. Did you make some early slaughter? You can't do it anymore."
"Wow, so..."
Excellent superiority. Different as a trader. I can't compete. Beat. It's a total loss.
Therefore, I'm very sorry to close the conversation.
*****
I'm sorry. Regrettable regretful.
Is there anything so sad? It's nice to think that you can make a lot of money with joy, but the result is this. Not good at all.
A very ugly man. Nothing's as bad as me.
"Is this the end of the business talk? Let's pay the bait and the fishing fees."
I see
"It's been a long time since I've been in business this well."
Over
"... Is it going away?"
"Did you say something?"
I pulled the box out of my smartphone in my pocket. It's a box of peppers that are saved with caution in the Count Falcon vault.
