Chapter 50 The Hope of the Merchants
Chapter 50: The hope of business people
Early in the morning, Ariel was about to get up. If she was at home, she would have to sleep until noon before getting up. However, this place was not home. Before she came out, she agreed to her brother and obeyed his instructions, otherwise she would not even have a chance to come out this time. Ariel lived in a hotel in the Winsterling Market District, and most foreign merchants could only live here when they came to Winsterling.
The floor of this hotel is not high, only three floors. This is because the elevator only exists in the Mage Tower. Although the development of witchcraft props has been put on the agenda, there is no fast magic. It is destined to take a long time to popularize it. Without an elevator, it is not good if the floor is too high. Moreover, in the shelter world with many people, there is no need to build high-rise buildings. Therefore, although the hotel is not high, it occupies a very wide area and the environment inside is also very good. It is considered first-class in the main world.
The room Ariel lives in is not big, with only two rooms, one is a bedroom and the other is a bathroom. The overall design is no different from the hotel settings in the main world. The furnishings of the room are a bed, a cabinet and a few chairs. It is extremely simple, but relatively speaking, it is extremely comfortable. In Ariel's opinion, in terms of comfort, there is not much difference compared to the home. The worry about accommodation when traveling is gone is no longer at all.
"I really don't want to get up. The quilt is so soft and warm." Ariel looked at the ceiling. Even though she had woken up for a long time, she could not lift the energy to get up. It has been almost half an hour now. There was a knock outside the door: "Ariel, haven't gotten up yet? If you don't get up, we will all go out, leaving you alone here." Wouldn't it be boring to stay here alone? After finally getting out, I still had a ox cart that was difficult to ride for so long.
Ariel frowned, finally lifted the quilt and got up from the bed, quickly put on her clothes. After putting on the clothes, she went straight to the bathroom. The bathroom was a convenient place and could take a shower. More importantly, there was a crystal mirror inside. When the hotel waiter took her in yesterday, she had already told her how many things were used in the room, so she was not unfamiliar with it. As a wizard, she could clean it up with magic power. Therefore, when she woke up in the morning, she just had to comb her hair and tidy up her clothes. She had not been too late to finish everything.
Outside the door, Aix and several scholars were waiting outside. "Sorry, let's wait for everyone." Ariel apologized to everyone. Ariel nodded: "I slept well last night, so I'm not used to it." "I slept well, let's go down to have breakfast. The food received by Winster is delicious. I don't know how the breakfast is cooked, so I can't wait." Ariel acted like a greedy cat, and everyone laughed.
Everyone arrived, and everyone went straight downstairs toward the restaurant. "Brother, that fat man seems to be Kid." Ariel saw a familiar figure from afar. Aix looked at her gaze. It was not Kid. This fat man is also a very famous person in Westma, and Aix also has many relationships with him.
In the past, Kidd had wanted to take over his business. If it weren't for some secrets in the Ax family's business, it would have been handed over to Kidd like other great nobles. In fact, the entire family business of the main great nobles of Westma was handed over to Kidd.
This Kidd is not simple. Although he is an ordinary person, he married a good wife and a fifth-level mage. In the eyes of others, it is a myth. In the shelter world, which mage will find an ordinary person to combine? In addition to this, he also civilizations the entire Kandras continent with his talent in doing business, especially the latter, which is also because many nobles handed over the business to him. "Vissue Ax, no wonder I was in a very good mood early this morning. It turned out that it was a sign of meeting with Lord Viscount."
Kid was walking in front of Ax, but his ears were so flexible. Ariel spoke in a very low voice, but he actually heard it. When he turned around, he was shocked when he saw Ax, and hurriedly came up and said enthusiastically: "I haven't seen it for a few years, Miss Ariel is getting more and more beautiful."
Ax's father was the Count, and he was the heir of the Count. According to the rules of the sanctuary world, the heirs were called viscounts when they were not inherited. As for the in advance of the welcome and flattery, it is hard to say, because Ax had to inherit the Count only when his father died. In this way, it was a curse of the death of his father.
"Where?" Ariel said embarrassedly. "Kidd, you haven't seen him for a few years. You are still so good at talking, but when did you arrive here? Why didn't I see you when I came last night?" Aix's face habitually showed a smile. Although Kidd is an ordinary person, there is a fifth-level legendary wizard standing behind him, which also represents the interests of several major nobles in the kingdom except for the royal family. Recently, I heard that I have had a hookup with the royal family. It is really a person that cannot be offended. The more you should be careful when talking to him.
You should know that Kidd was born into a civilian, an ordinary person, and was most sensitive to his contemptuous eyes and words. It would be nothing if he was really an ordinary civilian, but he had a huge amount of energy behind it. It would not be a good thing to offend him accidentally. Many nobles in Westma knew that Kidd would be punished in this regard.
You can look down on me in your heart, but in action, Kidd will use his energy to retaliate through business operations. Several nobles were bankrupt because of this matter, and finally could not pay back their debts, and their territory was forced to be transferred. As a second-tier noble in the kingdom, although he was not afraid of Kidd, he would not offend him for no reason. No one in this world would be unable to get over money.
"I came here yesterday afternoon, but I was summoned by the Lord and came back after having supper at the Lord's Mansion. So it's normal for Viscount Ex to not see him in the hotel." Kidd stroked his stomach and said to Ex. He was fat. If he was other fat people, it would be ugly, but he was different. At this time, his round face naturally showed a smile when he spoke, which easily made people feel like a spring breeze. This smile looked like the smile on the face of Maitreya Buddha in the main world temple.
"Oh? Kidd and Lord Winster also know him, and can he still get his summons?" Ax's eyes lit up. He suddenly remembered that Kidd was an old acquaintance with Lord Winster. It is said that Kid had made a big deal with Lord Winster. He bought a huge crystal mirror and used it to get the line of the Westma royal family. This matter had long been spread by the Westma nobles and merchants.
"Haha, that's natural. Not only did he know each other, he was still an old friend. Yesterday, thanks to the lord's care, Lord Lord gave me the business of this crystal mirror to manage." Kidd's smile even more. When he bought the crystal mirror, he didn't expect that the person who sold the mirror would become the president of the Heradim Brotherhood. Now, that business comparison is simply one of his most successful businesses.
As for why it was just one, he had a few businesses that were not bad at all. One business came with a beautiful wife like a goddess, and another business represented the interests of the entire Westma nobleman, and no matter which one was, it would not be worse than this one.
There is a reason why Li Zhi handed over the business of the crystal mirror to him, because when Li Zhi sold the mirror, he told him that there would be no other crystal mirrors in this shelter world. However, the business of the mirror is really a big investment, so Prince Northrend brought him to him and handed over the business of the glass mirror to him.
Kidd's business acumen was amazing. He originally bound the interests of many nobles in Westma and represented many nobles in business. The business of glass mirror was not bad for him. Moreover, giving the glass mirror to him would have many benefits. Behind Kidd represents the interests of several major nobles in Westma besides the royal family.
To reach cooperation with him is equivalent to reaching cooperation with several other nobles. In this way, the entire Westmad almost reached cooperation with the Winster Territory. In this era of aristocratic separatism and numerous counters, the Winster Territory merchants could also be unblocked in major territories, which would help the circulation of business. "Crystal Mirror?" Ax was shocked. This was a big business, and it was simply a continuous mountain of gold. "Congratulations." Ax's eyes were full of envy, and Kidd's face became more and more proud.
"Vissus Ax came here this time to open up a commercial road for the family. If you have any help, you can find me. I am planning to book a villa opposite this Hope City and move it over in the future. It will be easy for Lord Viscount to find me." Kidd's family was originally in the King of Westerma, but now, he really wants to move his family here.
In fact, with Winster's leadership as the center, the teleportation array has begun to spread everywhere. In the future, there will be no distance between cities on the entire continent. Although ordinary people cannot use this teleportation array, they cannot help but have a good wife who can take him to use it. As for the teleportation fee, it has not started to be collected yet. Even if there is a charge in the future, his family business will be a little bit. What's more, it is said that the Mage Tower is testing the teleportation array supported by the Mage Tower. The first and second regiments of the Winster's guardian Knights have been successively sent to the Tristram and Heradim Monastery through the teleportation array.
It is now for military use, but sooner or later it will be converted to civilian use. At that time, you can use the teleportation array as long as you pay the money. Even if it can be used to transport goods, it would be amazing. Although it cannot replace the commercial route, many luxury goods can be used in the teleportation array, so that you don’t have to travel long distances, let alone be exploited layer by layer in various territories along the commercial route. If you really count it carefully, as long as the price is right, the teleportation array can also be used.
"If I remember correctly, Kidd, your home is located in the King of Westerma. Why did you suddenly remember to move your home here?" Ax was puzzled. Although the city was well built at this time, it was still a little different from a big city like the King of Westerma. "How long has this city been established before it has reached this point?" The group went down to the first floor restaurant, and many people were already dining in the restaurant.
"It's only a few months." Kidd was shocked. When he came yesterday, he came down from the teleportation array on the Mage Tower. The whole city was overlooked by him. "It's such a big city in a few months. As the trade routes are unobstructed in the future, the city will become more and more prosperous. In fact, this is second. The most important thing is that it is called Hope City, which is the place where Lord Winster started. No matter what Hradim does in the future, it will be the real core of the Hradim Brotherhood, and the Scholars' House are all here."
"Ax, I will go back in a few days and ask my son to come here to study. I heard that the wizards in Winster's qualifications have not been so strict. They only need enough concentration. I don't know if my son without wizard qualifications can meet the requirements here. Even if it cannot be achieved, the future Kingdom of Candras will require a large number of talents, and these talents will all come out of the Scholar House here. My son can graduate from the Scholar House and will become an official in the Kingdom of Candras in the future."
"No matter what, my son will never have to be like me in the future." Kidd sighed. This is also what really attracted him to Winster. Everyone said that he was incredible, but what was behind this incredible scenery? How much effort did he put in the scenery? Who really looked down on the nobles of Westerma? And in Winster, everything is the real beginning. His son is talented and educated since childhood, and can definitely stand out in this hopeful territory.
"Oh? Kidd, aren't you going to let your son inherit the family business?" Ax sensitively heard the words behind Kidd's words. Kidd smiled but didn't say anything. In fact, the businessman was at his level. The so-called money was simply a number in his eyes. The family's foundation will never be as good as Winster's gift to him. "Let's have dinner first, Lord Viscount Exx will also go to the market area later. We'll go there together."
"Okay." Although Kidd did not respond positively, if his son arranged this way, he would definitely have to abandon most of the industries. By then, many interests controlled by Kidd could be given up, especially the business of the great nobles represented by Kidd, which is a good thing for his family.
The name of the hotel is just like this city, called Hope Hotel. At this time, there were many merchants or nobles coming from all over the place on the lobby on the first floor of the hotel. Most of them were very familiar with it. At this time, Kidd was holding a plate and picking up a kind of food in the restaurant from time to time. He would say hello when he met acquaintances. Some familiar people would talk to these people about the crystal mirror business he represented and the fact that he wanted to settle here, his son was going to study in the scholar's house or become a wizard. Soon, many people knew about it, and some merchants were also quite moved.
These merchants are managing business for other nobles. In the future, their sons will probably inherit their careers. If their sons fail, they will not even be able to inherit them, and they will even be killed by the nobles as fattening pigs. At this time, Winster led the future Kandras Kingdom quietly placed a road in front of them, which is definitely a bright road for them.
Many businessmen heard that even Kidd, whom they usually worship, had to settle in Winster's territory, and this idea came to mind. What is money worth? Here, they can get what they really want. This city is called hope, but in the eyes of many non-noble people, they are full of hope.
"Brother, the breakfast in this hotel is so novel. I have never seen this form in other places, and all the food is delicious. Brother, if you say this is a hotel, it is called a hotel, why is it called Hope Hotel?" As soon as I sat down, Ariel started chattering. There were not many places where she traveled, but they were all extremely fun places and bustling cities, but no city could bring her such happiness.
Ax also happened to take a few scholars to choose the food, use up the breakfast coupons given by the hotel, and sit aside. Whether it is the food or various breakfasts here, it is very different from other places. Compared with the food at home, Ax will not be better, more refined and delicious than here, and the style is so complete.
In this restaurant, many wooden racks are placed on the wooden racks, which can be selected by the guests at will. If you only eat these, the guests can choose as long as it does not exceed the price on the breakfast roll, because these are already included in the relatively expensive accommodation costs, and breakfast vouchers will be given every day. Once it is exceeded, or other food is purchased, like some maids are pushing small cars next to them, with more exquisite pastries and various cold dishes in small bowls, which require extra money. "Brother, I want to eat that."
A small car pushed by, Ariel pointed at a small plate of dumplings in the car and said to Akers. The maid next to him slowly parked the cart in front of Ariel. Akers smiled bitterly, "This Ariel is so delicious. If it were normal, she would have eaten enough food, but now she has eaten so much, and she can still eat it. She uses the power of witchcraft to strengthen digestion, or secretly put the food she ate directly into the space. Anyway, whether the food is delicious or not does not matter to the stomach or intestines, it is mostly about the taste.
Although he knew the little moves his sister made, Aix would not refuse. No matter how much Ariel ate, it would not be possible to keep eating. It would not cost a lot of money to eat more. But he still felt that it would be too wasteful to eat like this. In fact, the breakfast proposed by Li Zhi was actually a buffet. After the hotel was completed, he occasionally came to eat it a few times. He also found that if a wizard sat here and satisfies his desire for the buffet, he could eat it all the time. Anyway, once he ate it, he could be included in the space. This is not possible, so he changed the buffet to a breakfast coupon...
