Chapter 391 Strong buy
Renault said with a smile on his face:
“Mr. Gayrich, I can’t think of better terms. Can you provide a suggestion?”
Gerich said without even thinking about it:
“Your Excellency Renault, our Maxwell Chamber of Commerce has the best spinning and weaving technology in Xinghai Continent. These three merchant ships are loaded with high-quality linens that are sold throughout the continent, and the price is three times that of ordinary linen.”
“During the previous process of being chased by pirates, we were forced to throw away about 30% of the cloth. Of the remaining cloth, we are willing to give you half, no, three-quarters of the cloth, which is worth at least 1,200 pieces. Kinnar’s wealth, to thank you for your helping hand.”
After a pause, he said again:
“If you are willing to spend a little time, you can send someone to salvage the discarded cloths. They are all packed in wooden boxes. As long as you can get them, they are your property…”
Renault looked at his little brother Goode:
“Good, tell me, what is the total sales of our Haichao Chamber of Commerce in this trade in the Thousand Lake Kingdom?”
Goode quickly said a series of numbers:
“Your Excellency, in the trade fair held in Copernicus City, we sold a total of 12,000 Kinnars worth of goods.”
“In the arms and equipment trade with the Duke of Byron, we signed a total of two orders with a total value of 13,300 Kinnars.”
“In addition, we have also signed two weapons and equipment procurement contracts with the Duke of Thunder Eagle Castro. According to the first contract, we must deliver a batch of weapons worth 15,000 Kinnars within one month. equipment.”
“The Duke also promised that as long as the quality of the weapons satisfies him, the subsequent contract amount will be at least 10 times this. In other words, the total amount will not be less than 150,000 kinnals, and may reach 250,000 kinnals at most…”
“Although the other contract is only an intentional contract, the Chamber of Commerce needs to hold an exhibition in Leiyunbao within one month to demonstrate the performance of the hot air balloon to the Duke.”
“But the granddaughter of the Duke, Miss Alietti revealed to us in private that as long as the performance of the hot air balloon can reach half of what we described, this order will definitely fall into the hands of our Chamber of Commerce, and the total amount will not be less than 20,000. Kinnar.”
“Moreover, this is only the first batch of orders, and there will be additional orders in the future. If the usage is agreed, the total amount will be larger…”
“In general, the total value of the orders that have been signed is 40,000 Kinnars, and the amount of the intended order fluctuates between 170,000-270,000 Kinnars…”
In fact, in the weapons and equipment contract signed by Renault and the Duke of Castro, the condition of whether the Haichao Chamber of Commerce can obtain subsequent large orders is not at all “the quality of the weapons satisfies the Duke”. The standard weapons produced by Haichao are completely different. No equipment with better quality than them could be found, and the Duke could not be dissatisfied.
The real condition is to kill the Earl of Kashgar.
The Earl of Kashgar sent people to attack Renault, and frequently added obstacles to the Duke. It was in the interests of both parties to deal with this guy, but the Duke, as the head of the coalition army, was really inconvenient to play the black hand, so he had to fake Renault.
Miss Alietti promised personally that the day of the death of the Earl of Kashgar was when the follow-up order was received. This condition should not be stated clearly, let alone written on paper, only a private promise.
It’s just that Renault killed the Earl of Kashgar immediately in order not to make life suspicious, so he spared the other party’s life for the time being.
Because the Earl of Kashgar was not the only behind-the-scenes man, he also had an accomplice. If the Earl died the next day after the attack, it would be easy for others to suspect Renault.
Renault has sufficient strength and sufficient motives. Of course, he is most suspicious.
With Goode’s narration, Gairich’s eyes opened wider and wider.
Especially the personal names that Goode said, “Duke Byron”, “Duke Castro”, “Duke’s granddaughter Miss Alietti”, made him feel frightened, and his forehead oozes. Layer of sweat.
What does duke mean?
This is not a Chinese cabbage, but a knighthood second only to the prince, which is absolutely honorable.
In the entire Thousand Lake Kingdom, there are only 9 dukes, and the Haichao Chamber of Commerce is related to two of them. Obviously, this Chamber of Commerce has extremely close ties with the upper layers of the Qianhu Kingdom.
When Goode talked about “40,000 Kinnals” and “170,000-270 thousand Kinnals”, Gerich’s mouth could not close completely, and his shoulders were involuntarily short, even the vest. It’s all soaked.
The meaning of this Mr. Goode’s words is very obvious: Our Haichao Chamber of Commerce has tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of kinnals. Just over 1,000 kinnals just want us to be satisfied?
Is there a mistake? Is your attitude like sending beggars to humiliate us on purpose?
In addition, there is one thing that makes Gerich quite puzzled. The Haichao Chamber of Commerce has done so much business. Why has he never heard of this Chamber of Commerce before?
Is this Mr. Good’s boasting?
In the next moment, he rejected this speculation. This chamber of commerce relied on two sailing ships and easily defeated the pirates with four sailing ships in less than an hour. It was so powerful, why lie?
So, the only answer is that this is a newly emerging chamber of commerce.
Gerich’s complexion was blue and red, and he planned to bow his head.
He didn’t dare not bow his head. Haichao merchants were rich and powerful, and their force was still so tyrannical. If he continued to jerky and crooked, he would probably end up with only one-to feed the fish in the sea.
Who knows how to slaughter a few people on this vast sea?
He knew very well that the young man facing him was now in charge of the lives and deaths of everyone in the neighborhood. The best way to face such a character was to pretend to be counseled.
So Garic changed his face decisively, and the original arrogance that had disappeared instantly disappeared without a trace. He said in an imploring tone:
“Your Excellency Renault, I am just a supervisor of the Chamber of Commerce. A small person like me has no authority to decide what to do with the merchant ship. If you forcibly take away the merchant ship, my whole family will never survive…”
“My Excellency, I beg you to forgive us poor people. You can take all the cargo on the merchant ship. We also carry more than 500 Kinnars. You can also take it…”
Renault glanced impatiently at the chattering Gary, then turned to ask Goode:
“Good, how much are the three merchant ships worth?”
As soon as he said this, Gerich immediately closed his mouth tightly. He had noticed the impatience in Renault’s tone. Where else would he dare to say it? He had no choice but to put on a pitiful appearance, hoping that the opponent wouldn’t be too cruel.
Goode carefully looked at the merchant ship in the distance, and said respectfully:
“Your Excellency, these three sailing boats are all standard thousand-ton galen boats. As far as I know, the value of brand-new sailing boats is generally between 2200-2500 Kinnars. These boats are about 50% new. …”
“Calculated at a discount of 50%, and then taking the median value, the value of each sailing boat is about 1,175 Kinnars, and the total price of 3 boats is 3,500 Kinnars…”
Having said this, Good stared at Gailich and said blankly:
“Mr. Gerich, our Haichao Chamber of Commerce is a trade association that advocates fair trade. Do you have any objections to my valuation?”
Gerich quickly put a smile on his face and said admiringly:
“Mr. Goode, your eyesight is very good, and your valuation is very accurate. You are really an amazing businessman…”
But he was swearing in his heart:
MMP, accurate you are paralyzed, terribly you are paralyzed…
This is a thousand-ton sailboat specially customized by the Maxwell Chamber of Commerce. It uses high-quality shipbuilding wood. The cost of each ship is a full 3,500 kinnals. You actually gave labor and capital more than 2,000 kinnals.
unacceptable……
A typical sailboat has a lifespan of only 20 years, but we are a custom-made sailboat. It’s no problem for 30 years. These ships have only been in the water for more than 3 years. The maintenance is also very careful. They are definitely 90% new. The opening is 50% new.
It’s so dark…
Renault nodded in satisfaction and said:
“Mr. Gerich, we are not robbers. We will act according to the rules. According to the sea rescue tradition, we can take half of the cargo.”
“According to the price you just gave, the value of this part of the goods is 1,200 kinnals. I choose to use it to deduct part of the sailing payment. Then I only need to pay 2,300 kinnals to get 3 ships. ”
He waved his hand at Goode:
“Good, you go get 2,300 Kinnars and draw up a trading contract…”
Gairich glanced at Renault cautiously, and saw that the lord’s expression was calm and his tone was very positive, and he did not ask himself whether he agreed to the deal.
Obviously the other party has made up his mind, and he has no room for bargaining, otherwise he will surely annoy the other party.
The only good news is that the other party doesn’t seem to be a very violent person, and he shouldn’t worry about his life.
Gerich said with a sad face:
“Your Excellency Renault, this is a very reasonable transaction, and I am extremely satisfied with it…”
He began to curse again in his heart:
You are paralyzed, and he said that he is not a robber. It is obviously a sailing boat with a total value of 9,500 kinnals. I want to buy 3,500 kinnals by force. What is the difference between Nima and a robber?
However, at this time, a somewhat immature voice rang:
“Your Excellency Renault, if our Maxwell family presents these three merchant ships to you, can you exchange several tickets for them?”
The owner of this voice is surprisingly a thin entourage behind Gerich. He had been hanging his head before. When he was speaking, he raised his head and looked at Renault, revealing a green face.
This is a teenager no more than 15 years old.
His golden hair was a little messy by the sea breeze, he had a tall nose, deep-set eye sockets, a lot of freckles on his cheeks, and he wore a servant-style linen clothes.
But judging from his delicate hands and white face, this is obviously a pampered noble young master.
The meaning in his words also proved one point.
Undoubtedly, this young man is a member of the Maxwell family and the real principal of this merchant marine team.
From the boy’s behavior, Renault can be sure that this must be a bold and confident aristocratic boy, and his status in the Maxwell family is very high.
The reason is simple. Waiting for the idle aristocratic youth to dare to pretend to be a servant, set foot on an unknown ship and put himself in danger?
Can ordinary aristocratic teenagers give away their wealth worth tens of thousands of dollars without a word?
Renault did not answer the boy’s question, but asked with interest:
“Don’t plan to introduce yourself?”
