The 181st Million Dollar Business
Lao Xie had no choice but to smile bitterly and said: "How about this? It will be regarded as the deposit I gave you. Every time I pass by here in the future, you have to give me a flower, and the money will be deducted from it until this day." How about spending all the gold coins?"
"But, a flower is only worth one copper coin. If this is the case, even if I give you one flower a day, I'm afraid it will take decades to give you all the flowers for one gold coin!" the flower girl said in embarrassment. .
"Haha, don't worry about this!" Lao Xie said with a smile: "I guarantee that I will not die within a few decades! If I die, please send flowers to my tombstone!"
"Ah!" The flower girl was stunned for a moment, wondering why the nobleman was doing this.
Lao Xie was too lazy to pay any attention to it, so he laughed directly, then got into the carriage again, and at the same time ordered: "Drive!"
Then the carriage started slowly again, leaving only a black shadow of the girl. As the carriage disappeared, she felt like she was in a dream. However, the golden coin in her hand truly told her that this was not a dream.
"What a good man!" The little girl prayed with sincere gratitude in her heart: "May God bless him!"
Will God bless a big devil? I'm afraid Lao Xie himself wouldn't think he had such an honor!
In the next few days, Lao Xie was so busy that he could hardly stand. He had to take care of the newly opened shop, he had to send people to count the goods that Konstani wanted, and he was also busy with training and guidance. The problems discovered by the spirits during refining.
Fortunately, the busy days were not very long, and finally ended when Konstani and the others set off more than ten days later. This time Konstani and Lao Xie teamed up to make a big business, and even Fatty joined in. Combining the two families of August and Hercules, plus the large amount of treasures accumulated in the headquarters of the Black Dragon Society, this time The total volume of trade has reached a terrifying level. It is estimated that the goods alone can load 5 large ships. You know, these things are not cheap goods such as food. They are basically valuable materials and exquisite handicrafts made by human society. The total value even exceeded 1 million gold coins. Even the emperor couldn't help being stunned when he heard about it.
He didn't care about the big number. After all, this number was still barely acceptable to the two powerful families. It's just that the emperor never expected that such a big deal, which was almost related to the rise and fall of a large family, would be settled by two children in the end. Although Konstani is in her 40s, she is a half-elf. Her actual age is only about 15 years old in humans, and the old evil is only 16. In other families, such an old child still acts like a spoiled child under the wings of her parents, or even Enjoy a wonderful study life in the college, but these two people are so good that they can directly decide big deals worth millions.
Especially when he heard that Constantine and Lao Xie were planning to take the waterway, the emperor's eyes almost popped out of his head. You know, although there is an army of elves sweeping the sea now, and it is generally calm, the army of elves cannot completely block tens of thousands of miles of sea territory after all. Moreover, the small group of pirates in the Devil's Islands are like crucian carp crossing the river, countless. Even when the elves are there, they often come out to run wild, and merchant ships are killed from time to time, but the situation is much better than before.
In this case, going to sea obviously has certain risks. If a small stock is shipped, it will be a loss. Big families don’t care, but if something goes wrong with a million-level deal, the business of these two families will definitely be affected to a certain extent. If it doesn’t work well, it will be hurt. Bones, this is no joke.
Not only the emperor, but also other nobles in the imperial capital were skeptical of the two young men's decision. They don't think it's a wise choice to send such a large sum of fat to a place where pirates hang out. After all, pirates are not idiots. They have already bribed many spies in human society. As long as there is a fat sheep on the road, they will get the news immediately.
For someone like Lao Xie to transport so many treasures to the sea in such a high-profile manner is almost tantamount to seeking death. The aristocratic circle even began to bet on this matter, and most of them believed that something would happen if they bought this batch of goods.
Of course Lao Xie also knew the risks involved, but neither he nor Constantine cared. Because this time the **** lineup will be surprisingly strong, and even the elf princess Juliet will also follow. As long as you enter the sea, you are guaranteed to be fully escorted by the elf army. This is not just because of Juliet's identity, the most important thing is that the elves also attach great importance to this batch of materials. After all, these things are not produced there and can only be imported. However, because they were separated by two human kingdoms and were exploited at all levels, the prices were astonishingly high. Even with the financial resources of the elves, it was difficult to buy them. It's so stretched that it's barely enough. And if this transaction is completed, it will be very beneficial to the elves, so they will definitely not allow anything to happen to this batch of goods, and even the king of the elves may personally dispatch it.
In addition, just in case, Lao Xie spared no expense. Not only did Sven and the others be sent to Konstani, they even mobilized 2 flying dragons and ten Cyclops. Wyverns can give Constantine the advantage of vision at sea, and their aerial warning can allow Constantine to discover the location of pirates first. As for the Cyclops, that's even more amazing. The boulders they throw are definitely the most terrifying weapons in naval battles. Ten people could probably smash a medium-sized battleship with just one salvo. With them here, Konstani's five merchant ships would not suffer any loss even against more than a dozen pirate ships.
Besides, these are just auxiliary combat forces. If pirates really show up, the elves will definitely not call merchant ships to join the battle. I'm afraid that before these giants see the pirates, they will all be killed by the elf mage's spells. Bringing them with you is just an insurance policy.
But no matter what, the appearance of the 10 Cyclops once again deeply shocked Constantine and Princess Juliet. None of them expected that Lao Xie actually had a trump card that they didn't know about, and it was still so powerful. Cyclops, that is the treasure of the beast tribe. This is the first time they have heard that someone can command so many Cyclops. In the past, those powerful nobles could show off just by getting two Cyclops. However, Lao Xie made ten of them without blinking an eye, and they were all wearing armor and holding enhanced versions of stainless steel weapons. How could this not surprise the two girls?
Fortunately, the two women were both sensible. Although they were surprised, they did not ask the truth. They all knew that they wanted Lao Xie to keep some secrets. As long as Lao Xie didn't take the initiative to tell them, they would not explore in depth.
After seeing them off, Lao Xie felt much more relaxed. The whole day was spent eating, drinking, and having fun, and occasionally had a few fights with the little princess to take advantage of the situation. I often go in and out of the campus gate, and every time I receive a flower from the flower girl.
Actually, although the flower girl looks like Xiaojiabiyu, she is used to seeing super stunning old evils like Constantine and Princess Juliet, but she doesn’t have any unkind intentions towards her. He just felt that this little girl was very innocent. Every time he saw her pure eyes, he felt a kind of spiritual sublimation and cleansing. It was a very comfortable feeling that he had never encountered before. In short, Lao Xie was very Enjoy this.
However, Lao Xie's leisurely days could not last forever, but after dozens of days, Fatty came to visit him personally. This time, he came to invite Lao Xie to participate in the military bidding meeting. The main purpose of the fat man is actually to introduce Lao Xie to people in the aristocratic circle, at least to make him familiar with him, so that he can do things easily in the future.
Although Lao Xie didn't care about this, he wanted to take the opportunity to see if the patriarch of the August family would be angry to death because of this incident. So he agreed simply.
The bidding meeting of the Griffin Empire Military Department will not end in one day. After all, the army needs too many things. Soldiers have to purchase all their food, clothing, housing and transportation, including weapons, armor, bows, arrows, horses, etc., etc. few. In short, such a large trade fair usually takes nearly a month.
Obviously, Lao Xie didn’t have enough time to participate in everything, so he only participated in the purchase of bows and arrows.
The bidding meeting was held in a military camp outside the military headquarters. There were four or five companies participating in the bidding, all of which were owned by big nobles. Their bow and arrow manufacturing level is not as good as that of the Stephen family, so in the past, they could only eat a little bit of the leftover scraps of the Stephen family. For example, they would provide a few bows and arrows needed by the local security forces. After all, those bows and arrows did not need to be very good. The number is not large, just enough to deter civilians. As for the largest share, that is, the bows and arrows required by the regular army, they must be in the pocket of the Stephen family. But today, the people of the August family are trying to challenge the authority of the Stephen family.
