Capítulo 453: Alexander's Spoils

A few days later Alexander got letters via pigeon from both Ptolomy and Pasha Farzah, the first congratulating him on his success and the other additionally promising to come visit him by May.

Which was two months from now.

It seemed the old man needed some time to prepare all the gifts.

Or more specifically, he needed to re-order and re-purchase almost all of Alexander's inventory.

This was because he had sold most of those goods almost a month ago, and so having to reacquire them in the short time span, in the enormous volume needed, meant that he would have to pay a premium among premiums.

The pasha even risked losing money in the transaction, as opposed to the enormous potential profits it originally would have been.

But still, even knowing this, Pasha Farzah decided to acquire these items through any means necessary and simply chalked up the loss as compensation for his wrong judgment.
