The exchange process arranged by Fountain of Youth Academy is very long.
When the formal communication reached the fifth day, the guarantor of the Chamber of Commerce who had come from Lei Ming Country came to the mansion to report the situation according to the previously agreed message method.
The chamber of commerce in Lei Ming Country made a decision to disband on the spot!
There are a total of ten people participating in the money sharing. In addition to the two guarantors, eight of them are small caravans who come here to do settlement work.
The small caravan said that it was a special trip for Wang Qi's order, but how could it actually be possible?
This kind of settlement caravan is an important source of income for the chamber of commerce.
The Chamber of Commerce is first and foremost an organization that serves local merchants. Whether they thrive mainly depends on the trust of local merchants. In principle, the entry and exit of bulk goods must be in the hands of local merchants. Cross-border trade without greetings can easily lead to trouble. It is also the Chamber of Commerce. The most annoying.
The small settlement caravans are the result of years of competition and compromise between chambers of commerce in various places. They are not affected by "abnormal trade", and at the same time, they are also limited by the total value of the goods.
Take this small caravan as an example. Since there is no direct trade between Thunder Kingdom and the Fountain of Youth all year round, if there is a large amount of expenses that need to be settled, they can be allowed to earn appropriate excess profits by bringing their own goods.
The goods brought by the small caravan are pastry ingredients and rice noodles produced in Lei Ming Country.
The rice noodles themselves are not valuable, but if you add a few boxes of colorful scale pearls, it will be completely different.
The method is similar to the anti-bandit measures used by traders in exile. After all, they do need to pass through areas without administrative power on the way.
When Mi Nian encountered bandits on the road, he lost about one-third of the money he paid for the trip. The remaining profits can barely cover the one-way manpower of the small caravan.
The reason why this thing is profitable is because the cultivation of super-large-grained rice in Lei Ming Country consumes a lot of water and cannot be grown elsewhere. At most, it can only be grown in a small area to supply high-end people.
But no matter how much the profit ratio can be, it can't compare with Color Scale Pearl.
It is a gem-level product in itself, and the price was relatively stable before the demonic disaster. Due to the sharp increase in the trade route situation in the northwest of Thunder Country. However, the output of Lei Ming Country has not been significantly adjusted. A large number of people in its capital, Huguang City, make a living on this. There are probably very complicated profit transfer issues that cannot be easily changed, which has caused the price of origin to decline.
The small caravan brought more than a thousand colorful scale pearls, and the most expensive ones cost no more than a thousand. Most of them were small in diameter and were used to fill up the number. They could handle it if they were discovered by bandits. It's certainly not of a higher quality than what was displayed in the showcase of a high-end hotel, but the low quality also means the risk is low. If it's a treasure, there's no guarantee that it will be targeted the moment you buy it.
More than a thousand pearls with an average price of about 200, the total cost is about 230,000. If it is two chambers of commerce that communicate frequently, the local chamber of commerce will directly purchase it at a cost of 230,000 plus mileage profit, and then charge an intermediary fee to transfer it to Local businessman.
But now the local price of colorful scale pearls is indeed much higher. Relevant jewelers have squeezed orders, and the local chamber of commerce is also willing to sell them for a favor and purchase them at the normal price through Omar merchants.
In short, the guarantor said that a total of 520,000 was sold.
This also includes the settlement difference of the Black Magic Horse business, and there are many other things.
Anyway, there were ten people left, with a profit share of 450,000. None of the six black devil horses were sold, and there were six ordinary riding horses that came with Wang Qi's group, and four riding horses that came with the small caravan. Six horses Transport horses.
"There is a problem with Black Devil Horse. We can't find the owner of the horse farm. The two horse breeders cannot keep these horses. We are here to ask you for advice."
Wang Qi was a little confused: "Ask me for advice? I am a foreigner, do you remember?"
"It doesn't matter. If we continue to argue, we are afraid that we will be fooled. You have a noble status and your opinions will definitely affect a few people."
"..."
Wang Qi knew that these two people still wanted to stick to him. When their chamber of commerce was dissolved, they were probably sick and sought medical treatment.
He compiled the information he had just received and asked, "Why can't horse breeders keep these horses?"
"They are just ordinary people. They are not familiar with the place. If someone comes and does something bad, let alone a horse, his life may not be saved."
Things happen in the gutter everywhere.
"How much do they get paid?"
"1200."
Compared with the salary of a full-time laundry worker, which is more than 200, it is really not that low, but it is not particularly high for the profession of horse breeding, especially those who take care of special horses, and they also have to do part-time technical work such as hoof trimming and nutritional balance.
"The price the Black Devil Horse gave me originally was 18 small gold bars per horse. They have been in good condition all the way. If you think of a way, it won't be a big problem to dispose of each horse for 80,000 to 100,000."
The guarantor trembled twice, but fortunately he knew that this was not the owner of Haohu Lane. He nodded, admitting that he could sell it at this price, and that they wanted to share the unowned money.
In fact, the biggest conflict is not an internal conflict at all, but that the two horse breeders are not stupid. Once the horse is gone, they will be nothing in the eyes of the ten people in the chamber of commerce. They can dump it if they want, so the two will not let go. The others now had no one to cover their heads, and did not dare to cause trouble in other people's territory, while Ma was still eating every day, and it was all money, so he became anxious.
They came to see Mr. Wang Qi because of their observations along the way, letting them know that he is really not interested in hacking other people's property. Otherwise, if there were so many bandits, they wouldn't have stayed in second-class rooms, so they dared to risk this. risk. Most big shots don't dare to speak up even if they know each other.
Wang Qi could just drive them away, but no, there might be places where they need to be more energetic on the way back.
"Then you can discuss it and give the horse breeder sixty months' salary as severance pay. If that doesn't work, just eighty or one hundred months. Then we can try to smooth things over through the local chamber of commerce to see if we can't settle down directly in the local area. We can always discuss it."
Sixty months, one hundred months’ salary!
Sure enough, he is a big shot. Do your math. They are a group of old people who have been working for the Chamber of Commerce for many years. Ten people get one share. The two brothers together do not have 60 months' salary. The small caravan is less than 300,000. In terms of departure cost, that's even less.
The two guarantors thought for a moment and immediately understood the trick.
Indeed, splitting the accounts on a monthly basis can make the split look more fair. If everyone gets the same amount of money per month, there is nothing to argue about.
Even if he is still a little dissatisfied, at least he is not as close to taking action as before this trip.
Moreover, this group of outsiders cannot spend their whole lives here. There must be a number that must be compromised on a monthly basis, both to horse breeders and members of the chamber of commerce.
Following the instructions given by the adults, when I went back to talk, the atmosphere was indeed much better, and no one was grinning.
It's just that the severance pay cannot be 60 months, it must be 50 months, otherwise the people at the Chamber of Commerce will be psychologically unbalanced.
It was quickly agreed that the Black Devil Horse would be sold for money, and a total of two transport horses would be given to two horse breeders, and the remaining 12 people would be divided.
The ten people in the Chamber of Commerce still have ten riding horses and four transport horses, which will be their future source of livelihood. It is not easy to sell them, but for the specific how to get them, they still have to ask Mr. Wang Qi first about their plans.
As for Wang Qi, he could already go into the library of Fountain of Youth College to read, so he had no time to talk to them and asked them to make do with being horse owners for a while.
It is the Lei Ming National Chamber of Commerce that hands the horses to the local chamber of commerce and rents them out through an intermediary.
Naturally, this kind of business rarely allows outsiders to get involved, especially if it is a temporary business. Fortunately, the two parties had just made a deal to transfer the Dark Magic Horse, and there was a legitimate reason for the employer to visit the Fountain of Youth Magic Academy. In addition, the number of horses was not large, so the local chamber of commerce could at most raise a little more agency fee, but it was not intentional. Difficult.
The horse leasing process is very trivial and often requires horse owners to go to the work site. However, the ten people in the Chamber of Commerce have no need to support their families for the time being, and the twelve horses are barely enough for them to live in the outer city without worrying about seeing their wallets shrink.
