Lord of the Oasis Chapter 286: .The advantage brought by monopoly
The merchants shuddered and looked flustered.
It's no wonder that anyone who finds a row of Sarand riders wearing fine chain armor and holding machetes standing by the wall at the edge of the hall can't help but tremble.
But there is no way, no one wants to give up the salt trade this time, and can only bite the bullet and salute Kant.
"It is a great pleasure to meet you, Lord Baron!"
These businessmen appear extremely humble.
"Yes." Kant nodded, sitting on his seat without moving, An Ran accepted their salute, but said lightly: "Sit down, there are many people, and there are no seats. Then stand."
Here is his identity.
Noble is a baron, just because these humble merchants are not the same noble class as him.
Even if there was no preparation or hospitality, the group of businessmen still did not dare to say anything. Instead, they looked at each other and discussed in a low voice, letting those businessmen with high-ranking nobles as their backers sit down first.
Businessmen are also divided by class and status.
As for those small businessmen, ordinary businessmen, they can only stand and watch with a smile.
But only 30 people can come in.
Except for the 10 people who sat on both sides of the long table in the inn hall and smiled respectfully at Kant, the other 20 people stood at the end of the long table and listened quietly.
Obviously, someone wanted meat and someone wanted soup, and it was negotiated when they entered the station.
Kant sees it, but doesn't care.
As long as he can sell his salt, he doesn't care who can buy or sell.
Rolfe is also standing behind the door.
Although he doesn't know anything about business, he came to this hall in order to protect the safety of Lord Kant, and to guard against any unusual anomalies outside the inn. At that time, he can also be dispatched in the middle, so that he has already been on guard. The cavalry, who were waiting on their respective horses, responded quickly.
He is a nobleman and a vicious leader of robbers, so he has a deep understanding of the cunning of nobles and the cunning of merchants, as well as the desperation of gangsters.
Don't be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of what happens!
But in the hall, Kant was relaxed and discussed the salt trade with these merchants with a normal expression.
Don't need too much nonsense, Kant, who has taken the initiative, said directly: "I have 400 bags of finished fine white salt here, each bag of 100 large silver coins, can supply every week, and I Guaranteed, in one month, the supply will reach 1,000 bags per week, I don't know who you can eat!" Tonight ashamed
"This..." The businessmen looked at each other and looked at each other, but no one could answer. They just stared blankly at Kant and the familiar companions around him, looking a little stunned.
Business communication, how can it be so simple and rude to turn out one's own cards.
Kant looked at them with a slightly mocking smile at the corner of his mouth.
He reached out and knocked on the table, and said indifferently: "If you feel unacceptable, you can leave this desert, and whoever thinks you can cooperate, then set the rules, 100 large silver coins per bag of salt, not high Not low."
"Uh...the price..."
A businessman said tentatively: "If the production is too large, the male lion duke will not be able to digest it. Do you want this price? I think it may be lower..."
"Haha." Kant smiled, making no secret of his sarcasm.
Looking at him indifferently: "It's just 100 big silver coins per bag. I think the expensive ones can leave. I know better than you how the salt trade is. The creatures in the entire human kingdoms and wilderness tribes love these white flowers. , you can buy it if you want, if you don't want to..." He reached out his hand and made a gesture of invitation: "There is no need to continue to spend more time in this inn."
"This...this..." The merchants were even more stunned.
Kant is at ease.
This is the advantage of monopoly. As the monopoly party, the rules are set by him.
No matter how harsh and stingy the rules, the monopoly advantage is always in his hands.
These businessmen want to make money?
Then hold your nose and choose to follow Kant's simple, clear, and domineering rules!
But Kant did not give them a way to survive. In fact, although the salt trade in the human kingdoms is 200 large silver coins per bag, if there is a salt panic season, there are also 400 large silver coins.
After all, the salt caravan to and from the dwarven kingdom also takes months.
It was not a peaceful journey.
A little accident happened, and it was delayed for a month or two. If nobles and big businessmen wanted to hold a banquet, they would have to spend a lot of money to purchase fine white salt. Especially, the South County and East County leaders were developed due to trade, and they were generally extravagant and wasteful. Every banquet will waste a whole sack of fine white salt, which is a big consumer of this type of salt!
Now, the mere 400 bags of fine white salt in Kant can provide at most the cost of less than half a month for the Principality of Lions. After all, those nobles keep banquets every day in order to pass the time. Unlawful marriage
Adding to the tradition of giving salt to elite troops as an additional bonus, it exacerbates the consumption of salt.
Even 1,000 bags of fine white salt scattered throughout the Principality of Lions are nothing.
If it is scattered in the human kingdoms.
It's even more pitiful!
Otherwise, there would not be a steady stream of caravans heading to the dwarven kingdom, risking the dangers of the wasteland, just to trade salt, and it would not be possible to earn large sums of silver coins!
Now, don't risk your life.
You don't need to waste too much time, and you can easily get a lot of fine white salt.
This monopoly also represents huge profits!
"Lord Baron! Our caravan is willing to cooperate! Willing to cooperate!"
"Yes, Lord Baron, our caravan is also willing to obey your arrangement!"
The merchants reacted immediately.
All of them stood up and saluted Kant respectfully, all of them being extremely respectful.
"These 400 bags of white salt are the commodities of this trade, you should share it." Kant still looked slightly mocking, without any shyness, he still sat on his seat and said lightly: "I can use the golden eagle. If you trade with Golden Eagle, I am afraid of trouble~IndoMTL.com~ If you trade with Golden Eagle, it can be calculated according to the price of the black market.”
"Thank you for your kindness, Lord Baron!"
"The baron is so kind!"
"My lord, your kindness shames us!"
The businessmen were overjoyed.
According to the price of the black market to purchase the market price of salt, the profits can be multiplied!
They don't care what Kant wants the golden eagle to do. Anyway, it is also a kind of currency. Although it is advanced, they really brought a lot of them this time. Every caravan has a golden eagle, which can be swallowed in full. This batch of fine white salt!
But while we were negotiating, a desert robber walked quickly outside.
"Lord Lord, Lord Rolfe."
He first saluted, and then solemnly reported: "I found a strange cavalry unit in the south, about 600 people, it seems...the comers are not good!"
