Otherworldly Gem Merchant

Everything that happened to Harris has nothing to do with Yan Xiu in Aiyo Village.Since the Rand Gem Shop opened, its performance has been steadily increasing. He never knew that Aiyo Village still had such a great consumption potential.

The gemstones in Rand’s gem shop are always in short supply. Originally, he should have planted gemstone trees in Aiyo Village in order to prevent out of stock, but considering some reasons, Yan Xiu thinks it’s not suitable to plant gemstone trees now.Besides, the way of 'hunger' sales can also promote the sale of gemstones, isn't it?

In Aiyo Village, Yan Xiu's life couldn't be better.Listen to the report of the person in charge of RAND every day, drink afternoon tea, and the day passes.It doesn't look like a person who is thinking about how to deal with the Harris noble family.

Yan Xiu had just had breakfast that day when a waiter from the Rand Gem Shop asked to see him.

Although Yan Xiu didn't know what happened to Landry, he also knew that if nothing happened, Landry's waiter would not come to him.This is the first time that Rand has sent someone to look for him since he opened his business.

"Let him in."

It was the first time that Simon saw the shopkeeper that the person in charge spoke of. The shopkeeper was much younger and prettier than he imagined—he originally thought that the shopkeeper would be a paunchy noble businessman.But no matter how good-looking the shop owner is, he is the owner of Rand, so he will still be nervous, "You, hello..."

"What happened in the store?" Yan Xiu could see that Simon was a little nervous, so he slowed down his tone.

Simon hesitated, but told the truth.Although the person in charge asked him to choose words at his discretion, how to choose words carefully... "It's not a big deal... The person in charge of the Dekra Gem Shop wants to see you."

Dekra gem shop.

When it comes to this Yan Xiu, I have some vague impressions, but I don't remember much more. "reason?"

"The person in charge of Dekla refused to say the reason, but said that he would like to have an interview with you." Simon said with some embarrassment.It wasn't his turn to come, but the person in charge let him come when something happened.Thinking of Dekla's people as if Rand owed them millions made me angry.

Want to talk to him but refuse to say the reason?

Yan Xiu felt a little strange now, but he was familiar with the name Dekla, and couldn't remember where he heard it. "Anything else?"

"No more." Simon shook his head quickly.

"You go down first." Yan Xiu waved his hand to let Simon step back before deciding whether to meet the owner of the Dekla gem shop.Anyway, there is no rush to make a decision at this moment.

It's just that "Decra..." is really familiar.

Yan Xiu sat on the side and thought for a long time, but he couldn't remember where he had heard about the Dekla gem shop. The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't remember.

Standing behind Hughes, Dewey looked at Hughes who was struggling and reminded silently, "The master sold the gems to the Dekla Gem Shop before, and made a contract to sell them 50 first-level gems a month."

"So it's that gem shop." Hearing Dewey mentioned selling gems, Yan Xiu suddenly remembered.

When he first came to Fance Continent not long ago, didn't he earn his first pot of gold by selling gems to Dekla?

Yan Xiu felt a little apologetic for thinking of Dekla after so long.He hurriedly left the Chavers Empire for Long Island, and then went to Brandt. He didn't even have time to say hello to Dekla. I'm afraid Dekla's impression of him has fallen to the bottom.The agreed gemstones were not delivered on time, so this is a big breach of contract...

Seeing Hughes' realized expression, Dewey knew that Hughes remembered it, and he also remembered the scene where Hughes took him to sell gems.Even remembered Hughes giving him the gem afterwards.He has been wild since he was a child, and even his cultivation methods were stolen from others.He never told Hughes that he actually saw the gems when Hughes sold the gems, and that Hughes gave him the real first touch with the gems.

For Hughes, these may be just trivial things that are not worth mentioning, but for him, they are enough to remember for a lifetime.

"Does the master want to pick up the person in charge of Dekla?"

"...See you." Yan Xiu thought for a while and thought that he should meet the person in charge, after all, he did this unkindly. "Tell Simon to arrange a meeting."

"Yes."

Yan Xiu's order to go down was quickly responded to. Simon arranged a meeting time in the afternoon of the next day, and the meeting place was in a tavern not far from Rand.

It turned out that Yan Xiu felt that it was a little inappropriate for the meeting place to be in a tavern, but after he went in and found out that it was a private room, he had no objections.As for how much it cost to book the venue, he didn't care.

There was already a person sitting in the tavern, and Yan Xiu knew without guessing that this person was the person in charge of the Dekla gem shop.

"Hello."

"Hello, Mr. Hughes."

Bud saw that Hughes was a little surprised that he could call his name, and immediately knew that Hughes hadn't remembered that they had met.In the past few years, he has not been able to find Hughes' whereabouts, and the contract he made at the beginning has not been implemented, which made his life in Dekla very difficult.He was not expelled from Dekla because the production of gemstones has been reduced more and more in the past two years. Many people chose other shops or other industries, but he did not rely on others, so he was retained.

But what made him most happy was that he found Hughes.Regardless of whether Hughes still remembered what they had seen or how, he was eager to know how Hughes dealt with the contract back then.

"I don't think you remember who I am anymore, let me introduce myself, my name is Bud."

"Mr. Bud, hello." Yan Xiu calmly sat opposite Bud, and Bud also sat down. "I'm very sorry I don't really remember that we met."

Bud's face froze, revealing a helpless smile.Did Hughes say this to him, did he intend to recognize the contract back then?He also knows that the production of gemstones is so severe now that it is difficult for Hughes to take out the amount of gemstones that were originally agreed to be given to them.

"Is Mr. Hughes going to admit the contract made a few years ago?"

Yan Xiu was startled, and waved his hand, "Mr. Bard, you misunderstood, I have no intention of denying it. I remember the contract back then."

"Then I don't know what Mr. Hughes is going to do with it?" Bard took out the contract and put it on the table, he pointed to the contract, "Please forgive my directness, but I have to tell you that since the contract was concluded From the day after that, you have never provided any gems to Dekla. This is a violation of the contract."

"Yes." Yan Xiu admitted frankly.

Facing Hughes' calm attitude, Bud was also a little unsure what Hughes thought about this matter. "If possible, I hope that Mr. Hughes can fulfill the content of the contract, and I think the losses caused by you should also be borne by you."

How much momentum Dekla created for these gems at the beginning, and how much evil he will suffer afterwards.He didn't want to recall one bit of that dark time.Every time I think of him, I can't help but complain about Hughes' disappearance.

"No problem, how does Dekla want to pay?" Yan Xiu glanced at the contract on the table, it was indeed the original one.Since he broke the contract, compensation should also be made.

Bud didn't expect Hughes to agree so quickly, which made him feel a little unreal, "Are you really willing to make compensation?"

"Yes." Yan Xiu picked up the parchment on the table and looked again, "It was agreed at the beginning that I would give fifty first-class gemstones a month, and I will replenish these to Dekla. In addition, I will give Dekla How about [-] third-level gems?"

Bud did not immediately reply to Hughes' words.

In addition to the first-level gemstones that should have been given, they were given another [-] third-level gemstones. This kind of compensation was enough.But Bud thought of more than these.

To be honest, Hughes' ability to say something so decisively proves that Hughes has no shortage of gems. In his eyes, these gems are all things that can be taken out.What's more, the compensation is a one-time payment. As long as it is made clear this time, Dekla and Rand will have nothing to do with each other.

Breaking off the relationship with a person who obviously owns the source of gemstones for one-off compensation is obviously not in line with the businessman's way of thinking about profit.

"I don't want the compensation of [-] gems." Bard carefully observed Hughes' expression when he said this, for fear that the latter would not be willing.

"Then what do you want?" Yan Xiu let go of the parchment in his hand and threw it on the table, staring fixedly at Bud.

"I don't know, is Mr. Hughes willing to cooperate with Dekla?" Bud felt that it would be great if Dekla could cooperate with Rand. Seeing that Landry was full of guests every day, he was simply envious.

"Cooperation?" Yan Xiu leaned back on the chair, and Dewey stood behind him.

"Yes, cooperate." Bud is not sure whether Hughes is willing to cooperate with them.

In the past two years, the Dekla gem shop has fallen a lot, at least compared to the time when I met Hughes.If he can have a stable supply of gems like Rand, Dekla will definitely be able to regain its former glory.

And now the problem is...

Bud looked at Hughes, he didn't know if Hughes would agree.

"Give me a reason." Yan Xiu could see Bud's seriousness, and he also asked Bud seriously.

Rand's current state does not need a collaborator. Enough gems can keep Rand in an unstoppable position. One more collaborator is just an extra penny.

"Decra has something that Rand doesn't have." Seeing Hughes' expression, Bud smiled mysteriously, "Decra has been in business for so many years, and he knows many nobles, businessmen, and even royal families."

Hearing this, Yan Xiu also smiled slightly. He fully understood what Bud wanted to express, but there was one thing that Bud obviously didn't understand. "As long as Rand stays in business, there will be some of this."

Yes, as long as Rand continues to operate, these connections will come to the door sooner or later.When Dekla is finished, and other gem shops are also finished, what kind of contacts does Rand need?

"But this is not a good thing for Rand, is it?" Bud is very sensitive to these, "I don't know where Rand's supply comes from, but I know that if only the Rand family has not been affected , then Rand will also be in danger. Can you imagine a roast goose thrown in a pack of wolves and still remain intact?"

Yan Xiu looked at Bud and smiled.

What Bud said was the truth, and it was also what Yan Xiu was worried about.If he monopolizes the gem industry, he will either become a wealthy businessman or be guillotined.It is impossible for the king of every empire to tolerate the existence of a businessman who can control the empire's economy at any time.If he monopolizes the gemstones of the Aifen Continent, that may also be the day when he will be finished.

"You're very smart, Bud." Yan Xiu's words were equivalent to acquiescing to Bud's statement. "How do you want to cooperate?"

Bud swallowed, happy that he was able to persuade Yan Xiu, "You can provide part of the gems to Dekla, after all, Dekla will definitely die without gems. As long as there are other gem shops, Rand will It's safe, isn't it?"

"Only Dekla is not enough." If shields are needed, the more shields the better.

"Oh, I understand." Bud nodded, with a relaxed expression on his face, "I know there are still many gem shops that are about to end, and I don't think they will object."

"I hope so." Yan Xiu lowered his eyes, leaned back on the chair, and suddenly asked, "How did you find me?"

Bud froze for a moment, then scratched his head, "The gemstones sold in Landry's gem shop are exactly the same as the gemstones you sold us back then, how could I not recognize them. When I saw Landry's gemstones, I was shocked I think it should be you. I have never seen anyone else own such a gem except you."

Bud's words were very sincere, but Yan Xiu was not very happy.If anyone can recognize him by the shape of the gem, then even if he gave the gem to another gem shop, what's the point?

"I don't think you need to worry about this." Bud saw Hughes' expression unclear, and after thinking back to what he said just now, he understood, "Even if the source of all our gem shops comes from the same person, as long as you don't know this person Who they are, they can't find out. The empire may come to you, but that doesn't mean we'll all talk. Hey, don't forget, no gem shop wants to have multiple rivals."

After sending Bud away, Yan Xiu leaned on the chair without speaking or moving. Only him and Dewey were quiet in the tavern.

"I'm so tired..."

Dewey silently looked at Hughes who closed his eyes to rest.

A few days later, Bud returned to the Dekla gem shop in a hurry.

There are not many people in the once bustling gem shop, and the number of waiters has decreased a lot compared to before.

"Hey Bud, how did you go this time?" It was an old man who was also a gem appraiser who asked Bud.He watched Bud sign the contract with that young man, but he didn't expect Bud to fall on that young man.

"Very smooth, so smooth that you can hardly imagine, Robles." Bud couldn't help but patted Robles excitedly, "He promised to supply us with the previous gems, and will provide us with other gems in the future ! That's great news, isn't it?"

"My God, this is really good news. Congratulations, Bud." Robles naturally knew how sad Bud was in the past, and was very happy for Bud.When a person reaches his age, he has no other pursuits. "But this young man is really amazing, he actually has so many gems?"

"Don't underestimate him." Bud didn't want to talk about Hughes, he pursed his lips, "Hey, I have something to do when I come back this time, I have to talk to some old guys first .”

"Go, go, this is great."
