Arcane Lord

…

"This guest, what do you call it?"

"Call me Derrick!"

"Okay, Lord Derrick, what business does the person behind you want to do with the Harlan Chamber of Commerce?"

"Harlandside Manor!"

Now that Silas is straight to the point, Chateau did not make any detours, and directly explained his intentions, "Lord Chateau wants to buy a property in Sevinton, and he has sent me to deal with it. I feel that it meets the requirements of Lord Xia Duo. This time I came here to discuss the purchase of a house."

"Since your Excellency Derrick knows that Harlandside Manor is on sale, you should know that the price given by the Chamber of Commerce is 350,000 gold coins. Are you here this time for contract delivery?"

"No, no!" Xia Duo said repeatedly.

He is now the chief commercial officer of Lord Savile, so naturally he doesn't mind going off the court personally to bargain with the opponent, even because he hasn't carried out this activity for a long time since the crossing, he is quite excited:

"Although Harlandside Manor itself meets the requirements of Lord Chateau, the price is not good. I don't think that buying such a property at a premium can be recognized by Lord Chateau. After all, it is not the only one that meets the requirements of Sevinton. Real estate."

"Then what do you mean—"

"I think 200,000 gold coins is an ideal price!" Xia Duo said calmly a number.

"No, no, Lord Derrick! Even in the trade zone, it is impossible to buy a manor the size of Harranside for 200,000, let alone on the edge of the old town!"

Hearing the number of 200,000, Jarlaxle shook his head again and again. Even if there is a demand to sell as soon as possible, he is very dissatisfied with such a low price.

"Your Excellency Derrick, Harlandside Manor is strategically located. Whether it is for self-use or investment, it is a very high-quality asset.

"In this way, if you buy sincerely, for the sake of Lord Chateau’s face, I can reduce the price to 320,000; if it is lower, I can only ask you to go to other places to see, I think even the great arcane. Master, it’s impossible to conduct forced trading in Seventon!"

It is indeed impossible for the Great Arcanist to conduct a forced sale, because the other party is completely willing, even at a very unsatisfactory price.

Xia Duo carefully recalled the background of Haran Ling. It seemed that there was no special background. The lord was an ordinary archmage who only knew how to exploit the people. What was the confidence to ignore a future great arcanist?

Of course, it wasn't that Xia Duo wanted to use the power to overwhelm people. He was simply curious. If he really wanted to use the power to overwhelm people, then he would come here with his true identity.

He didn't believe how much courage Jarlaxle had to bargain in front of the senior arcanist himself!

However, in this situation, the scene seemed to freeze. Jarlaxle insisted on holding 320,000, but Xia Duo still felt that the 320,000 premium was too high.

His ideal price is 250,000, which is almost the median of the manor in the new town of Seventon in the trading zone.

The highest, such as near the Great Temple, has a higher price than the old city.

Low ones, such as the newly built trading zone in the south, where residential areas are also planned, and a manor can be acquired for almost 100,000 yuan, but most of the infrastructure there is still under construction and is very imperfect.

Said it was a manor, but it was actually a piece of land. It was too much trouble to spend more than ten people on a piece of land. Xia Duo never considered pure land at the beginning.

In fact, after Evans's screening, all Chateau can understand at present is that Harlandside is the most suitable. After all, Sevinton has existed for hundreds of years, and most properties have their own owners.

The ones circulating on the market are either too high-end or too location, and the range of choices is relatively small.

In fact, if you are optimistic about the development of Seventon, as an investment, the purchase of 350,000 Harlandside Manor is not a loss, and the longer the retention time, the more profitable it will be.

But Xia Duo knew very well that it was not far from the birth of the Miser Energy Nucleus, and it was not impossible that it had even been born.

Once the Misser Energy core becomes public and a large number of floating cities appear, Seventon’s status will be greatly reduced even as the capital, and the trend of its property prices will be self-evident.

Perhaps by then the Seven Towers will build a new Sevinton in the sky as the new capital for all parties to use. As for this one on the ground, it may be completely reduced to an ordinary territory.

Therefore, Xia Duo is quite restrained in the money spent in the current Sevinton City. Although 250,000 is not his true bottom line, it should not be too high.

Moreover, he plans to sell the fixed assets in Seventon City during the period after the emergence of the Miser Energy and before the emergence of the Floating City, so as not to suffer huge losses.

…

Thinking about this, Xia Duo proposed a new transaction plan again: "President Jarlaxle, do you know if the Harlan Chamber of Commerce accepts payment with magic items?"

This was a plan he had thought of before he came, but he was not sure whether the Harlan Chamber of Commerce would accept such a payment method. At the same time, it also involved the pricing of magic items, which was more troublesome and not as convenient as cash payment.

But now Jarlaxle has killed 320,000 gold coins, but he is only willing to pay 250,000. Although it may be lower after grinding, it is still much higher than the ideal price.

If payment can be made with magic items, for Xia Duo, he can even accept some premiums. After all, there are a lot of premiums for magic items, and he can retrieve them here.

In my hometown, many old people use products to repay debts. This is actually the principle.

…

"Pay with magic items?"

When he first heard about such a plan, Jarlaxle was still shocked at UU Read www.uukānshu.com, but then he thought that the Tower of Time’s new communication device is not small in Sevindun, and the Tower of Time is not. Is it the mage tower organization where Lord Shaduo is located?

He speculated that Derrick's proposal to pay with magical items might have been the real intention of the Lord Chateau from the beginning.

After thinking about it, Jarlaxle did not refuse, but at the same time pointed out: "If you use magic items to pay, you can only trade at 60% of the market price, and the magic items used for trade must be approved by us in advance. , Not any magic item of any kind."

Regarding the restrictions proposed by Jarlaxle, Xia Duo didn't think it was too much. It is a recognized fact that the premium of magic items is high. Even if it is calculated at 60% of the market price, the manufacturer still makes a profit, but it makes less.

For example, the total cost of the communication tools of the Tower of Time, including materials, facilities, and personnel, is only about 200 gold coins, but if they are sold to the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce, it will cost 1,000 gold coins.

Such a net interest rate is extremely impressive even in a place where the commodity economy is extremely prosperous and various methods of cutting leeks are emerging one after another.
