Tales of the Reincarnated Lord

Chapter 589 Commercial Competition

Frederick limped into the study and reported dejectedly: "His Royal Highness, Duke Kenmes has arrived at the Bear Palace, my father, oh no, it is Lord Shred who has gone to the palace gate to meet..."

Lorist closed the book in his hand, looked at Frederic quietly, and asked, "Is your father taught me again?"

"No..." Frederick still wanted to deny it.

"Then where did the big footprints on your pants come from? Here, besides me, and your father, no one else has the guts to teach you. Come on, what good did you do to make your father angry..." Lorist could see that Frederick's appearance was obviously just cleaned up by his father Fatty Shi.

"Uh... Your Majesty, Master Anderberg and I painted the little bear sculptures off-white, and then pushed them onto the aisle. My father didn't notice when he passed by and tripped and fell on a big horse, so he was very angry... "Freried confessed truthfully.

"Oh..." Lorist smiled bitterly with his hands on his forehead. Okay, the second son of Fatty Shi's character is really detached. He is not as stoic as Reddy, nor is he as studious as Schwarz. Genorio's stability. To put it bluntly, it is a curious baby with ADHD who wants to try everything. Perhaps it was because he was doted by Fatty Shi's grandfather-in-law, the first-class swordsman Yingjerek, and developed a fearless temperament.

Just like the comments written by Miss Tristi, the dean of Nicol Academy, she is pure in nature, that is, she is overly curious, brave, and courageous. After four years of enrollment, she became the king of trouble at the college. It is the key concern of the college teaching to prevent death. Object...

So when I heard that Lorist was going to take Frederick away as an attendant, the teachers at Nicol College were happy on the one hand, but regrettable on the other. They originally hoped that Frederick could go to Chenxi Academy, which made the teaching of Chenxi Academy a headache.

When I just arrived by Lorist’s side, on the one hand, there were some talents, and on the other hand, there were Lei Di and Genorio. Frederic’s performance was not satisfactory. Although he was only sixteen years old, he had awakened his grudge. , The second is that he has a hearty personality and a body as strong as a calf. He is very pleased with Reddy and Genorio. He usually gives guidance from time to time to let him know what he needs to pay attention to as a servant of Lorist...

But after returning to the Northland to settle in the Bear Palace, Reddy took Genorio to the Rock Castle to practice the Pill Sea Energizing Judgment. Frerio lost his restraint, no one cares, and Lorist doesn’t always stare. Following his every move, Frederick completely herded the sheep. In addition, for some reason, Fred and the eldest master Anderberg hit it off. One big and one small two got together all day to play together, using the entire Bear Palace as a playground. Excited...

Then Frederick had a tragedy. Fatty Shi was the administrative affairs director of the Norton family. After Lorist returned to the palace, Fatty Shi often came over to discuss some things. What Frederick did did not escape Fatty Shi. s eyes. Lorist was embarrassed to teach him about his face. Fatty Shi hated iron for not making steel, so he was completely cruel. Now Frederick meets his father like a mouse meets a cat...

"Anderber ran away first, right?" Lorist asked.

Lorist has always suspected that his son would have such a good time with Fred Reid. The main reason is that he had a top tank when he got into trouble. Who told Fred Reid to grow such a big man, but not so long. What kind of thoughts, the older man got into trouble, he won't come out to lift the tank, who will do it? The stinky boy is so young that he has a plan...

"En... Master He..." Frederick thought for a while and couldn't find a reason for Anderberg's distinction. When Fatty Shi was tripped, Master Anderberg turned and ran, but he had to step forward. Father helped him up and was caught and beaten...

Loris pulled the bell rope by the wall, and soon Pat, the commander of the guard camp, walked in.

"Go, take Anderber and this guy into the yard, let them walk for half an hour, and put a bowl of water on each of their shoulders. If the water is poured out, try again. By the way He whipped Anderbell's **** three times and told him that since he is a partner, he has to deal with bad things, instead of running away by himself..." Lorist ordered.

"Yes, Your Highness." Pat went out with a frustrated Frederick.

After a while, Fatty Shi appeared in front of Lorist with Duke Kenmes. Well, there were some wrinkles on Fatty Shi’s clothes, and his left face was a little red and swollen. It can be seen that Frederick said that his father was accidentally tripped. The Malaysian party was really heavy.

But it was the Duke of Kenmes that made Lorister curious, and he brought several large boxes to Lorist's study this time. After commanding the court servants to put these large boxes away, they let them retreat. The Duke of Kenmes breathed out...

"Aha, my brother, you are so polite to come to see me and bring so many gifts..." Lorist said deliberately. He believed that these big boxes would not be gifts. Presenting gifts between dukes like them will only be a gift list, rather than bringing a few large boxes to the front, which is too vulgar.

"The beauty you think," Sure enough, the Duke of Kenmes immediately retorted: "This is not a gift for you... Locke, I went to Liushuichuan on purpose this time and brought you back in these big boxes , It is loaded with new and fashionable products launched by your family's competitor, Antares Chamber of Commerce, which will open your eyes and have a long experience.

In addition, I heard that our King has ordered Liushuichuan to be leased to the Antarctic Chamber of Commerce, and plans to set up another large market there. This clearly means that you want to compete with the Chilin Port Market and Trade Market under your family's jurisdiction. Regardless of its geographical location or business scope, Liushuichuan has the advantage. Coupled with the support of His Majesty the King, don’t you Locke? Worried about the sluggishness of the Qilin Port market? "

Lorist smiled and shook his head: "I don't have to worry about this. In fact, His Majesty supported the Antarctic Chamber of Commerce to set up a large market in Liushuichuan. Although it has squeezed out the business share of Qilin Port, what really affects is only the raw materials. And the acquisition of mineral resources, we are losing both sides in this regard, and let the nobles of the territories who produce these materials take a big advantage...

In fact, the advantage of the Lingang big market is that the nobles in the territory have money in their hands, so they increase the purchase of various materials and commodities. At present, the Antares Chamber of Commerce has set up a large market in Liushuichuan, and it also wants to make a profit from it. In fact, deciding what kind of goods and goods those territorial nobles purchase depends on quality and price. "

In this regard, Lorist is very confident. Now the Norton family territory produces a wide variety of goods and goods. At the same time, it also accounts for the cheapness of sea transportation of bulk goods. In terms of cost and quality, Lorist believes that the goods and goods imported from the business alliance by the Antares Chamber of Commerce through land transportation are not its own competitors at all.

"You are too confident, Locke." The Duke of Kenmes shook his head: "The Antares Chamber of Commerce did not want to compete with your Norton family in those commodities of daily life. They chose high-end fashion products. And luxury..."

The Duke of Kenmes went to a big box, opened the lid, and took out a beautiful yellow golden bowl, followed by a gold plate and a gold cup, and soon Lorist’s desk was filled with all kinds of Gold tableware...

"This set of forty-five pieces of gold banquet tableware cost me more than 70,000 Golden Ford..." Duke Kenmes flaunted contentedly.

"Are you crazy?" Fatty Shi was taken aback: "You give me twenty thousand, and I will find someone to make you two sets of such tableware..."

"Ignorance..." Duke Kenmes snorted from his nose, picked up a gold dinner plate, and stroked the exquisite pattern on it: "Look at the pattern first, and the memory of the chassis. Who made this set of gold tableware? What about two sets of 20,000 dozen nonsense. This is no ordinary gold tableware. At least I am not a rich fool..."

Lorist picked up a golden bowl and turned it over, only to see a trapezoidal signature engraved on the chassis, with four somewhat deformed characters, which should be the name Bruvier.

"Bruvier? The name is familiar..." Fatty Shi said, clutching a golden dinner plate.

"Hehe, do you remember the Duchy of Chiktor?" Duke Kenmes asked.

What is this about the Principality of Chiktor? Lorist looked at the golden bowl in his hand, but couldn't see where the mark of the Principality of Chiktor was on the golden bowl.

However, Fatty Shi suddenly realized: "You are talking about the Principality of Chictor, which is famous for its gold and silver manufacturing? Wasn't it destroyed by the business alliance during the Central-Southern War? Now it seems to be the one established by the May Flower Chamber of Commerce. The territory of the Mayflower Kingdom. Last time we re-established the Grand Duchy of Chikdor in the two provinces of the business alliance, all we found was a nephew of the original Grand Duke Chikdor, who inherited the seat of the Grand Duke..."

"The current Chiktor Duchy that you helped to restore the country is completely different from the Chiktor Duchy of the year." Duke Kenmax commented without mercy: "The Chiktor Kingdom used to make gold and silver. The utensils are well-known throughout the continent. The name Bruvier represents the top craftsman family of gold and silverware. Their family produces only a dozen sets of gold and silverware each year, and the supply is always in short supply. In the past two hundred years, any aristocratic family owned it. A set of gold and silverware made by the Bruvier family is a grand event worth boasting about.

What I did not expect was that the Commercial Alliance had taken the Bruvière family abducted when the Principality of Chictor was destroyed, and mastered the gold and silverware made by the Bruvière family, which meant that the Commercial Alliance had another gold-sucking weapon. Locke, the glass tableware produced by your Norton family is indeed very exquisite and luxurious, but compared with the gold and silverware made by the Bruvier family launched by the business alliance, it does have a little bit of heritage. I believe that many nobles in the empire will be with me Similarly, I would rather pay a high price to buy such a set of gold and silverware made by the Bruvier family as a family heritage..."

Lorist’s face became serious. The Duke of Kenmes was right. Although his own territory has a wide variety of products, it occupies nearly half of the daily necessities market in Gellent Asia, but basically these commodities and goods are the masses. goods. Although some are considered high-end goods and luxury goods, they have no background and can only be regarded as novel fashion products.

The business alliance's choice to compete with the Norton family in terms of history and brand is undoubtedly a good move. After all, the rise of the Norton family was after Lorist returned to the Northland. Although the history of the Norton family is also as long as more than three hundred years, these three hundred years are only a family of military aristocrats in the northern border of the former Christian Empire. The family has no intention of spending these unrelated survival accumulations.

"What's left in those boxes, take it out." Lorist said.

From the remaining three boxes are the famous camel blankets, the famous fruit wine from the historic Duchy of Bideson, the elves jewelry from the Kingdom of Abeltan, and several other countries in the central and southern parts of the continent that were destroyed by the business alliance. A special product of the past...Finally, Duke Kenmes took out an extremely weird statue from the box.

"What is this?" Lorist asked curiously. Half of this statue is plump*, and the other half is a skinny man. The two are very twisted and entangled, giving a very uncomfortable impression.

"Hehe, this is the representative work of the greatest artist Carmen Setov five hundred years ago. It is an imitation of men and women, and it is also an imitation of later engravers. It took me fifty thousand golden ford to get it. You see, this How beautiful and natural the carved lines and curves are, it deeply reveals the true meaning of a woman as a winner between men and women..." The Duke of Kenmes suddenly became very literary at this moment.

...Isn’t there just a tired cow and no farming? Lorester watched dumbfoundingly as Duke Kenmez fondly stroked this weird male and female statue: "Okay, no People rob you of this thing, that is, you will take this thing as a treasure, and spent 50,000 Golden Ford, do you have a lot of money..."

"Locke, you don't understand, this is art..." Duke Kenmez was very dissatisfied with Lorist calling his baby that thing.

"His Royal Highness..." Fatty Shi stared at the commodities filled with the study.

Lorist knew what he was going to say, and shook his head with a smile: "It's okay. The introduction of these products from the business alliance by the Antares Chamber of Commerce will not have a big impact on the sales of our family territory's products in the Chilin Port market. There may be some short-term effects, but in the long run, we provide daily consumables, and they provide high-quality goods and luxury goods. The prices are high but the market will not seek too much..."

"Don't you worry that His Majesty will take the opportunity to suppress the Chilin Harbor market? Maybe he will withdraw your family's jurisdiction over the Lin Harbor..." Duke Kenmax said.

"Don't worry~www.wuxiaspot.com~ he didn't dare to do that." Lorister seemed confident at this moment: "Although our King made his own wise support to the Antarctic Chamber of Commerce to purchase raw materials and mineral resources, he broke off cooperation with our family. This business of making money. But now he still needs to rely on Qilin Port to purchase the grain produced in the empire in exchange for a large amount of cash to support the operation of the empire’s various management agencies. In the Antarctic Chamber of Commerce, there is no way to provide him with gold coins. Next, he will not shoot against Lin Gang."

The Duke of Kenmes breathed a sigh of relief: “I’m relieved if you say that. You know that our Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce is the largest merchant in the empire. The competition between your Norton Family and the Antares Chamber of Commerce has allowed us to increase the snow salt chamber by more than 100 this year. 30% of the income. Our caravan is now vigorously purchasing raw materials and mineral resources produced in the noble territories of various provinces, and then transport them to Liushuichuan or Qilin Port for sale. As long as your competition can continue to ensure that the purchase price is not If it changes, I plan to expand the scale of the caravan acquisition next year..."

"The purchase price should not change." Loriste said: "We are now riding a tiger, and it's up to whoever can't hold on. I would rather you transport the purchased raw materials and mineral resources to Liushuichuan for sale. It consumes the cash flow of the Antarctic Chamber of Commerce."

Duke Kenmes nodded: "I understand."
