Winnie glanced at Rom, who was a little distressed, and shook her head silently.
The eldest son of the Bernard Marquis family is as unsightly in business as he is in wizarding talent.
If she wasn't born in a good family, she wouldn't even look at him more.
"Rom, you have to know that the most important thing in business is the exchange of resources.
Although His Excellency Li De is a high-level mage, if this transaction is carried out so smoothly, then he and the Alex Chamber of Commerce are just an ordinary cooperative relationship. "
"Sure enough, there was a big problem in the middle, and we happened to help him solve it, so can the Alex Chamber of Commerce win his friendship?"
Rom suddenly realized, but in a blink of an eye, he was a little disdainful, and the arrogance in his words was undoubtedly revealed.
"President Winnie, it's just a high-level mage from the countryside. As for us wasting so much energy?"
Winnie frowned slightly. She knew exactly what Roma was thinking about her. An eldest son who would definitely inherit the title of Marquis would be a good candidate.
If she still had the idea of investigating Roma before, but now she has no interest in the son of the Marquis.
"Master Rom, a senior mage is not worthy of us.
But if it is a genius who became a senior mage at the age of 25, and the teacher of this genius is an archmage with a level above 15.
Then he has this value. "
Chapter 27 Alex Chamber of Commerce Part [-]
(Thank you for the great reward from Shenzhen and Hong Kong~thank you~)
The plan to purchase grain was forced to end.
Li De was very surprised when he got the news.
I thought it was the easiest part, but I didn't expect to encounter obstacles.
"Lord Li De, I have already contacted several chambers of commerce that specialize in selling grain.
Just before they were about to pay, they suddenly informed me that because of the border war, Green City had imposed a ban on large-scale purchases of grain.
For this reason, I went to all the grain sellers' associations in the East City, Goddess, they all used this reason to reject me, these damned bastards! "
Laurent was very distressed. He thought it was a small matter and wanted to do it beautifully, but he didn't expect to encounter such a big obstacle.
1800 gold pukes can buy food for 1 people for a year, which is equivalent to a month's ration for 10 people.
Although this is not a small amount, it is nothing.
After all, the south is the main area of grain production in the Nolan Empire, and there is a lot of grain in storage, but it is the first time Laurent has encountered such difficulty in harvesting enough grain.
Money can't buy food, what a hell!
Li De pondered for a moment.
There is no substitute for the importance of food to a predatory population program.
If there is no food, it is useless to plunder people back to the castle. We can't let human beings eat only one meal a month like the vampires.
The most suitable place to obtain food on a large scale is Green City. The other surrounding cities are far away, secondly, unfamiliar, and thirdly, there are not as many grain stores as Green City.
If he went to other cities to buy food, it would take a lot of time and energy, and he might not be able to buy the amount he wanted after winter.
So there is no choice, this problem must be solved.
"Which chambers of commerce mainly control the food in Green City?
I'm not talking about the small chamber of commerce below that is used for sales, but the chamber of commerce that controls the entire grain of Green City."
Laurent immediately said without hesitation: "Lord Li De, half of the food in Green City is sold by the honorary members of the Green City Chamber of Commerce, while the other half is controlled by the largest chamber of commerce in the city—the Alex Chamber of Commerce."
The Green City Chamber of Commerce is a general chamber of commerce composed of thousands of chambers of commerce in Green City, and the [-] most powerful chambers of commerce will be awarded honorary membership.
The Jinmai Chamber of Commerce is a member of the Green City Chamber of Commerce, but its strength can only be ranked in the middle, and it may not even be able to enter the five hundred.
Li De nodded slightly. There is no anti-monopoly law in this era, and nobles often control the most profitable businesses.
And food is the foundation of everything, and its ability to make money is not inferior to any industry.
He has long been prepared for the fact that one or a few big nobles will control the grain share.
"What's the situation with the Alex Chamber of Commerce, can we buy food from them?"
The ancestor of the blood clan was a standard magic obsessive, with very poor communication skills, and his relationship in Green City was like a blank sheet of paper.
Coincidentally, nobles often talk about personal connections, so even if he is a distinguished senior mage with the title of baron, he has no way to find the right person to solve this problem.
In his capacity, this should have been a very simple matter, but now he still needs to come forward.
It seems that after this matter is resolved, it is time to establish contacts in Green City, he thought.
"Alex Chamber of Commerce is one of the founders of Green City, and its status is very high in Green City. If we can get their support, this batch of food can be easily resolved." Laurent had a bitter expression, "I originally wanted to go in and visit They, but were stopped at the door."
"However, if it is you, Li De, I believe they will be happy to receive you."
The status of a mage and a businessman is naturally different. Alex Chamber of Commerce looks down on him but has to take Li De seriously.
Laurent was also a little thankful, if he didn't hug this thigh, then he could only pinch his nose to recognize it.
"Are there any alternatives besides the Alex Chamber of Commerce?"
"Alex Chamber of Commerce is the best choice. If Alex Chamber of Commerce cannot solve this matter, then other chambers of commerce will not be able to."
Laurent smiled wryly.
Li De nodded slightly. It seems that the Alex Chamber of Commerce is not that simple in Green City.
Will the food ban this time be related to the other party?
If it is really related to the other party, what is their purpose?Just because of the orc invasion?
He narrowed his eyes slightly. Although these ancient nobles were corrupt, he would not underestimate them.
"Is there a precedent for Green City to ban the sale of grain in winter in previous years?"
"My lord Li De, I haven't experienced it in the past ten years, but this year the orcs came very early. Maybe the nobles in Green City have other concerns."
Whether it is the other party or not, this trip must go.
"Help me send a gift card for the visit, I want to go to the Alex Chamber of Commerce in person"
"Yes, Lord Li De"
The headquarters of the Alex Chamber of Commerce was established in the most prosperous area in the center of Green City, less than a thousand blades away from the city lord's mansion in a straight line.
After Laurent sent Li De's gift sticker to the chamber of commerce, it wasn't long before a vice president of the Alex chamber of commerce went out in person to make an appointment with him.
The treatment is completely different from the treatment he received when he came to see him alone.
It has been two Sundays since Li De received Laurent's feedback.
The distance between the Alex Chamber of Commerce and the Scarlet Mage Tower is a full Sunday hour by carriage.
So Li De didn't delay, and prepared to set off with Laurent.
"Lord Li De, can I go with you?"
In the lobby on the first floor, when Li De was about to go out, Wei Na looked at him pleadingly.
Li De was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the dozen or so mage apprentices in the hall who were expecting to nod slightly.
"Vina, Cohen, you two will go with me, Karu, today you will help them answer their doubts"
Wei Na and Cohen, who were named, were overjoyed and hurried forward to follow behind him.
Although the other mage apprentices were a little envious of the two of them, they didn't dare to speak. They didn't have the guts to speak to Master Li De like Miss Wei Na.
Li De has been in the mage tower for the past few days, seeing that he has taught these mage apprentices a few times when he has time. He has experienced the baptism of compulsory education. A group of apprentices who have always been thirsty for knowledge explained it several times.
This group of apprentices found that their teacher was not as unkind as they thought, so they got closer to him and became more respectful.
If it was Wei Na from before, she would never dare to speak when the ancestor of the blood race went out.
Li De didn't have any extra thoughts about this, and this group of mage apprentices was definitely the best workforce.
I can work for him 14 hours a day and I am proud of it.
All he has to pay is to give these guys a few lessons when he is free, and the strength of the other party has improved, and it is himself who will benefit the most.
There simply cannot be a more perfect workforce.
As a new capitalist, Li De is very satisfied with these apprentices.
Taking Wei Na and Cohen out also found that these two little guys are very flexible. In the future, we can teach them more about the Jinmai Chamber of Commerce to manage.
The blood clan needs to carry out a great farming plan, and the mage tower cannot be left behind. The truth is that both style and style are blooming.
Chapter 28 The Most Beautiful Tulip
The carriage of the Scarlet Mage Tower walked slowly on the spacious bluestone avenue in Green City.
In order to take care of the two apprentices, Laurent specially replaced Li De with a more spacious carriage.
Li De sat in the carriage, Wei Na and Cohen sat on the left and right, and they turned their heads to look at the street curiously from time to time.
Like a child who hasn't been out for a long time, they are a little excited.
Li De ignored them, closed his eyes and began to meditate.
For this mage's introductory spell-meditation, Li De is more and more fond of it.
Magic power is the foundation of a mage, and meditation is the only spell that can effectively increase a mage's magic power.
Meditation is also a kind of spell, but it is even more magical. Normal spell casting requires input of magic power to activate the magic model.
But meditation is different, it does not need to input magic power, it only needs to use mental power to continuously run the meditation model in the mind.
Moreover, meditation does not have a fixed magic power node, and every operation is like redrawing the magic model.
When mages meditate, they need to concentrate to efficiently operate the magic model of meditation.
Meditation is an act that requires persistence and patience. Generally speaking, the increase in magic power through meditation in a year may not exceed 10 points, and after falling into a bottleneck, you will get less, far less than you can get by leveling up.
But meditation is also the best way to increase the combat power between the same level. A mage who has meditated for ten years has [-]% more magic power than a mage who has never meditated.
The amount of magic power represents the number and power of magic release, which significantly improves the combat effectiveness.
The ancestor blood clan has been meditating for 200 years, although he was seriously injured by the extraordinary mage halfway and his strength dropped a part.
But Li De estimated that the 652 points of magic power he possessed now definitely far exceeded that of a senior mage of the same level.
This is the precipitation brought by time, the unique advantage of the longevity species.
Li De's love for magic is definitely no less than that of the ancestor of the blood race. This feeling of constantly absorbing the magic power around him fascinates him very much.
In the past few days, studying magic carefully in the mage tower also gave him a sense of satisfaction that he didn't usually have.
Seeing the magical spells flying at the fingertips one by one, the whole person is almost fascinated.
One Sunday later, the three got out of the carriage.
Laurent and two assistants from the chamber of commerce got down from a carriage in front early and waited.
Green City is a big city with a population of over one million, and the prosperity of the city center exceeds Li De's estimate.
The number of people crowded is somewhat like Huaxia's crowding the subway.
Most of the people who come and go on the street are civilians. Most of them wear clothes made of burlap, and their eyes are a little dodgy. When they see a carriage on the road, they often stop in a panic or retreat to both sides of the street.
A small number of them are nobles dressed in bright and luxurious clothes. Their elegant and polite manners make them extremely conspicuous in the crowd, and these people are also the objects of envy and fear of commoners.
The shops selling all kinds of food, clothes, and weapons on both sides of the street were all open, and the people who entered and exited were upper-class civilians in cotton clothes or gorgeous nobles, with completely different mental states.
Most of the house structures along the road are semicircular and pointed, with religious patterns embossed on them with the salvation of the gods.
The priests of several unknown temples repaired the wings broken by the wind under a huge angel statue with solemn faces.
There are no slave traders and beggars in the city center, it should be that the city lord patrols passing by from time to time drove people away from the city center... This is where the city lord lives.
The side of the road where Li De and his party's carriage parked was a wide open space. In front of it was an ancient Roman-style building with a height of fifteen blades and a full five floors.
A large century-old red maple plaque was erected in the flower pond in the center of the open space, with a few big characters written in the common font of the mainland.
