Chapter 41 Roger's Request
“Is there any problem?”
Gregory's head shook like a rattle: "No problem, no problem at all."
The goblin was afraid that Roger would change his mind if he answered slowly, so that he would ruin a business that should have made a big profit?
As a goblin merchant, making money is life, and gold coins are everything. If that happens, Gregory will not go crazy.
Not to mention that when trading commodities, the price of goods cannot be calculated based on the market price. Generally speaking, the more goods the buyer eats, the more severe the price. Just from the price reference of the transaction itself, Gregorian makes a lot of money.
The Tymo Province was a new province that emerged from the Orc War more than a decade ago. The Storm Kingdom established it in order to guard against orcs that might reappear from the dark swamp.
For this purpose, from the beginning of the emergence of the Termo Province, it appeared as a military province on the border.
In this military province, all the emerging military nobles in the Storm Kingdom gathered here, and most of their appearances were promoted from the brave and brave lower-level officers. Not to mention the high-level officers with noble blood, even the middle-level officers from the middle-level small nobles were pitifully few.
Due to birth, the educational level of the lower-class officers is not high, and they have obtained the title of meritorious lord from the battlefield. It is not necessary to ask which aspect of the choices of civil and military skills these people will tend. In the province of Taimo, more than 80% of the aristocratic territories are in a state where military is stronger than economic.
The emerging military aristocrats who were from officers were not good at developing their territory, let alone how to revitalize their economy. It would be very good for them to recruit and lead their people and organize them to reclaim wasteland. As for the development of business, no one can do it, and it relies on some people who are smart in the people who are spontaneously doing it. However, in such a feudal kingdom, merchants who do not have official support, and business development is even more difficult. It is precisely because of this reason that the economy of the Taimo Province has not been able to be independent after more than ten years. It relies more on the support of provinces within the kingdom.
Their own economy has not been built. In addition to basic food, clothing and housing, the province has to rely on others for everything else. It is necessary to sell goods from merchants from other provinces. The prices in Taimo Province are not high.
Gregory is a goblin businessman. He is backed by the goblin trade prince Gazrove, who has information channels that are incomparable to outsiders. Of course, this refers to the price of goods. As far as Gregory knows, although the province of Taimo is a border province, its prices are much lower than that of the City of Storm.
The price of a border province that is still under development is comparable to that of a kingdom's capital, which is not bad. The feudal system of the Storm Kingdom has left all territories in a closed small-scale peasant economy, and the people of the Taimo Province can no longer survive.
When I came to Chijiling, Gregori's backer Gazrovi set a bottom line for him. The price of things sold to Chijiling is at most 10% lower than the market price of the Taimo Province. If we can talk about the same market price as the Taimo Province, Gazrovi will give Gregori additional benefits.
Now, Roger did not speak out with Gregory and even took the initiative to increase the price by 10%. Gregory can be said to have easily exceeded the task.
wrong!
Gregory's eyes turned around. The price was negotiated with Roger, and he would be the one who came to contact him later. In other words, as long as he didn't say it himself, as long as Roger and Gazrove had no contact, no one would know the real price of the transaction between Red Ridge and Treasure Bay.
Maybe my chance has come.
A goblin who doesn't want to be a prince of trade is not a good goblin.
Gregory had a voice shouting wildly in his heart. This was a great opportunity. It might make himself a big shot among goblins, rather than continuing to be a small character running errands. Although there are risks, what is it to take risks if you want to earn gold coins? Even if you dare not take risks, you can still be a goblin merchant.
Gregory was having a crazy idea in his mind, and Roger spoke again: "Since you have no objection to the price, let's talk about the delivery method."
The delivery method?
Gregory doesn't understand what other ways to deliver the goods? Isn't it just that you negotiate the price with me and I will ship the freight here?
As if seeing what Gregory was thinking, Roger raised his index finger and shook: "Don't think I don't know what the prices in the province of Tymo are. It far exceeds the real value of the commodity. The reason why I accept it and raise the price by 10% on this basis is that I value the strength of the Prince of Trade. If I want to make money from me, Gazluvet has a correct attitude."
The prices of Taimo Province are high. In addition to the local lords being not good at developing the economy, there are also reasons why the Storm Kingdom is internally located. The Twilight Forest, close to the Taimo Province, is controlled by the nobles. In order to suppress these emerging military nobles, the old nobles naturally have to stumbling over the other party in order to earn more benefits, and it is not surprising that they deliberately raise prices and other means. In order to make the Taimo Province more responsive to the behavior of the nobles. Roger said that the inflated prices in the Taimo Province were because of these political factors.
Gregory's heart was a little cold, and he knew that human mages were not easy to deal with. Look, it was indeed here.
"What do you want us to do?"
The voice of the goblin merchant is dry and astringent.
After finally finding an opportunity to earn a lot of gold coins, Gregory didn't want to be ruined. But whether he could succeed was not up to him. It depends on what kind of request Roger put forward, and the initiative is in Roger's hands.
"Correction is not what I want you to do, but what you should do." Roger shook his finger, "If it were you, would you be willing to get the same treatment as an ordinary trader for such a large price?"
No, I definitely don't want to.
Gregory said so in his heart.
"As a big customer, I don't want to wait for you to transport the things I need to come slowly. That would be a waste of time. If Gazrove cannot open the airship route from Treasure Bay to Red Ridge, I think I will be a dealer, after all, he is not the only one of the Goblin Trade Princess."
What?
This human lord demands the opening of the airship route!
Is there something wrong with my ears, or is his mouth rushing?
Gregory looked at Roger stupidly, and raised one hand to dig his ears. His appearance was not cute at all with the goblin's vulgar honor, and Roger only made him curl his lips secretly.
It's ugly, it's really untreated.
"If you don't make a decision, go back and ask Gazluvi. Remember, I'll wait for up to five days."
