Otherworldly Gem Merchant

The last thing Yan Xiu could accept in his life was betrayal.In his opinion, there are two things about betrayal. If you can betray the first time, why can't you betray the second time?

Not betraying is just because the chips of betrayal are not enough.

As for Dewey, from Yan Xiu's point of view, he didn't think that other people would have a heavier bargaining chip than himself - gemstones.Gemstones are the most precious thing on the Fance Continent. If Dewey betrayed him, could others give him something more precious than gemstones? It would be better if Dewey helped him sincerely, even if he was not sincere, as long as he didn’t betray him. .

Yan Xiu silently made a decision for himself. Even though he still felt a little uncomfortable and panicked, it was obviously the most correct idea.

Putting down the book in his hand, Yan Xiu quietly leaned against the wall of the carriage.Under his buttocks is the soft fur of a monster, and there are thick things blocking the car wall, which will not make him feel uncomfortable.And this carriage was prepared for him by Dewey.

Korda and Nia were left by him in the house to take care of the gemstone trees, and he was now heading towards Madam Nalian's residence in a carriage.

Madam Nalian sent someone to inform him the day before yesterday that Leonard's Patriarch Augustus Leonard had arrived and asked him to pick a time to meet with Augustus. Of course, she would also be with him.

No matter what, Yan Xiu hoped that the meeting and conversation would go smoothly.

When Yan Xiu arrived at Mrs. Na Lian's room and saw August Leonard, Yan Xiu felt that today's family meeting and negotiation might not go as smoothly as he hoped.

Obviously, compared to Butler Joe, Augustus is Leonard's real manager.He has slightly curly dark hair, the chocolate-like color makes Yan Xiu very fond of him, however, Augustus has a pair of eagle-like sharp eyes, he looks at Yan Xiu as if he is staring at the prey Normally, even if he showed a friendly smile, Yan Xiu couldn't let down his guard against him.

"Nice to meet you, I'm August Leonard." The first time August saw this young man named Hughes, he knew that this young man must have a secret.Vampires are one of the oldest races besides dragons, and they even have a sense of smell comparable to dragons.

He smelled that this young man had a pleasant smell of gemstones.The closer he got to the young man, the more obvious his aura became. Augustus showed a charming smile to Hughes.

"Hello, I'm Hughes." Yan Xiu looked at Augustus with a stern face and smiled brightly like a flower, and sat beside her under Madam Nalian's gesture.

"Please sit down, Marquis Leonard." Nalian saw Augustus's smile, and she probably understood why Augustus showed such a smile in her heart.Hughes is as precious as a precious gem, even a vampire will not embarrass Hughes.What's more, Hughes seems to be quite in line with the aesthetics of vampires?

Thinking of this, Na Lian couldn't help covering the corners of her mouth with a feather fan, and then couldn't help but glance at Augustus.

"Thank you." Augustus didn't miss Nalian's weird look at him, but he didn't think much about it.

Many human beings like vampires, and most human beings worship a race with great power.Few humans who know that they will not be eaten by vampires will hate vampires, because vampires have a more human appearance and sufficient etiquette than other races.

"After hearing what Joe told me, I couldn't wait to come here. I hope you don't mind my rudeness." Augustus has good etiquette, which has won him the favor of many human women .

"It's our honor, Mr. Augustus." Nalian sat next to Hughes, and Augustus sat opposite them.This way of sitting can easily make Augustus see the current situation clearly.She and Hughes are in the same group, and the Leonard family is the latecomer. "I hope you don't feel restricted coming here."

"Oh, how could this be?"

"..."

Yan Xiu watched Na Lian and Augustus playing Tai Chi, but he didn't have the slightest intention to speak.He does want to cooperate, but he can't be in a hurry, and he doesn't need to be in a hurry. He believes that even if there is no Leonard family, there will be other families to choose from.The Leonard family had no other choice.

Augustus and Nalian chatted a lot, and said a lot of empty words, so much that he couldn't help but pay attention to what Hughes was thinking.When he and Na Lian talked about it, this young human named Hughes never took the initiative to speak except for the first few sentences and the next two sentences.This made Augustus very surprised by Hughes' patience, and at the same time understood that his family would have to shed some blood to get enough benefits from this cooperation.

Thinking of this, Augustus couldn't help but bend his lips, and he stretched out his hand towards Hughes, "I think both Mrs. Nalian and Mr. Hughes should already know the purpose of my coming here."

"Yes, we are very clear about the purpose of your visit." Nalian thought that Augustus would chat with her for a while, but she didn't expect to get into the topic so soon.

"Then please forgive my bluntness. I don't know what price the Leonard family has to pay to be eligible for cooperation?" Augustus could see clearly that even though it was Na Lian who was talking now, the real decision Is it the collaborators or Hughes.From the performance of Hughes, it can be seen that this young human doesn't like to talk, so there is no need for him to continue to make detours. Maybe this human would like it more frankly.

Even when Augustus asked Yan Xiu how to get the cooperation qualification, he was elegant, without any panic in his actions, quite calm and confident.Vampires are indeed a graceful race.

Yan Xiu raised his eyes and looked at the smiling Augustus, "It depends on your sincerity."

Augustus let Yan Xiu ask for a price, but it was hard for Yan Xiu to say it because he didn't know much about the Leonard family. I believe that even Na Lian couldn't fully understand the Leonard family.Anyway, this is one of the thirteen vampire families.The price that the Leonard family has to pay, he can't open it casually. If the price he opens is too high, then Augustus will definitely not accept it, and maybe he will wear a hat that he does not want to cooperate with the Leonard family. And if the price is too small, then he himself will suffer.

Augustus is very smart, throwing this difficult problem to him, and he will not just follow up so stupidly.

Hearing Hughes' reply, Augustus smiled slightly. He never thought that Hughes would follow his wishes.Although he now feels that Hughes is a bit difficult to deal with, it is better than cooperating with an idiot.

"I believe that if I can't give you an answer that satisfies you, then the Leonard family will definitely not be your partner." Augustus took a sip of tea, and the teacup clicked on the table, "Leonard As one of the thirteen branches of vampires, the family has stronger strength than ordinary humans and can provide you with better protection."

Na Lian's complexion was a bit subtle. Of course, she knew that she could protect Hughes now with her ability alone, but it might not be possible in the future.I didn't expect Leonard to say it so directly.

Augustus smiled at Nalian, and continued, "Of course, the black market can provide you with various channels to sell gems, so the Leonard family can too. We have the most formal auction house, and we hold multiple auctions every year. At the same time, it can also provide contracts for stores in multiple cities.”

Yan Xiu was a little moved when he heard the store contract. This shows that Leonard has his own store locations in many cities in Brandt, which is a good thing for him.In some cities, it is not easy to open a shop just by opening a shop, especially a gem shop.Leonard said this one from his heart.As for auction houses and auctions, compared to the informal auctions in the black market, these formal ones will naturally have many dignitaries haunting them, and the prices offered are not comparable to those in the black market.

"I don't know what Mr. Hughes wants." Augustus is confident enough in the conditions he proposed.No matter how poor the Leonard family was, they were still one of the thirteen branches of vampires, far from being comparable to a mere black market leader in the western district.

Butler Joe, who followed Augustus, also looked at Hughes in surprise after hearing these conditions from Augustus. This hidden look was not noticed by anyone except Dewey.

"The conditions you proposed are indeed very good." Yan Xiu did not deny that he needed help like Leonard, "But you haven't said what you want."

Augustus smiled at Yan Xiu again, and there was a little softness in his eagle-like eyes, "I need you to provide me with enough gems. We need a lot of gems. Only with enough gems can we get more rights .”

These words from Augustus are implicitly telling Yan Xiu that only when Leonard becomes stronger can his gemstone business go smoothly.

Yan Xiu didn't immediately agree, nor did he immediately refuse. He thought for a while, narrowed his eyes slightly, "How many gems."

"I don't know how many gems you can have in a month?" Augustus would not just say a number, he would rather know how many gems this human has.If it is a limited gem, then he will also consider the degree of cooperation.No gem vein can be mined infinitely.

"One hundred thousand regardless of grade." After showing Na Lian the gem tree planted in the back garden, he provided Na Lian with another batch of gems.The [-] gemstones agreed to be given each month have also been increased to [-]—of course he earned more gold coins.And the number of [-] is not just nonsense. He has planted so many gem trees, and the [-] for some levels every month is still a small amount.

Augustus was taken aback. He didn't expect that Hughes, a human being, could produce [-] gems a month. Although there is no grade, it is still a lot.It's just, "If it is to open a store, it is not enough."

If you want to open multiple gem shops on the Brandt Continent, then one hundred thousand gems a month is not enough.Just a gem shop in Goblin City now needs at least [-] gems every month, so what's the use of [-] gems?

"I will find a way." Yan Xiu didn't know enough, but he would find a way.As long as you increase your spiritual power, you can grow some gems.Moreover, the types of gemstones sold in the Rand Gem Shop are not complete, and they have just started selling. Some gemstones are good, but they will not work in the future.He must have more and more complete types of gems.

Augustus pondered for a while, then raised his hand, "One hundred thousand gems per month, then you give us Leonard ten thousand gems a month. For every additional hundred thousand, give us an extra ten thousand."

In other words, if Yan Xiu has 20 gems a month, then Leonard will be given 100 a month.But if Yan Xiu opened enough shops in the future, [-] million gems a month is not a problem, then he will give Leonard [-] gems almost every month.No matter what, Leonard is just a branch of vampires. If there are [-] gems every month, I am afraid that there is no other branch of vampires that can compete with them.

Augusti's condition was not unbearable, but it happened to step on Yan Xiu's bottom line, which made Yan Xiu feel a little uncomfortable, but it was too accurate.Ten thousand in one hundred thousand miles is nothing, and one million miles in one hundred thousand is nothing.But after a long period of time, this is also a terrifying figure.

Yan Xiu was silent for a long time, but finally agreed.

Augustus stood up and stretched out his hand, and gracefully saluted Yan Xiuxun, "I hope we have a happy cooperation, Mr. Hughes."

"Pleasant to work with."

After Augustus signed the contract and left, Yan Xiu sat on the chair and did not speak.

Na Lian stood beside Hughes without speaking, she was satisfied that her interests were not harmed.Naturally, she, a leader of the West District, cannot be compared with the Leonard family. Her original goal is to ensure her own interests.It is her principle not to desire exorbitant interests that do not belong to her.

"Hughes, don't you take Leonard to see your gemstone tree?"

"Not yet." Yan Xiu didn't intend to take Augustus to see his gem tree so quickly. After all, although Augustus is in a cooperative relationship with him, he is not Na Lian after all, and I don't know what kind of person he is. people.

Besides, the race of vampires is not a kind race.

"Master." Joe followed Augustus and left Nalian's house. He was a little puzzled by Augustus's offer of such a favorable deal.

"Joe, do you even think the conditions are too generous?" Augustus offered almost as long as Hughes was willing, he could use any of Leonard's auction houses or even fixed stores and so on.The store can basically be regarded as Leonard gave Hughes.

"Yes, my lord. I have some doubts about it."

"Don't you understand Joe, if that young human can really produce enough gems, then we are the ones who will benefit the most." August Leonard never did business at a loss. "The auction house and the auction are only lent to Hughes for use. As for the store, it is also Leonard's property. Don't forget these."

"Yes, my master." Joe stood behind Augustus and bowed deeply. His master has unparalleled wisdom.

The author has something to say: =3=Thank you for your message! ! ! !

In the future, I will work hard to develop towards [-] words and increase the number of words every day!
