Gavin recalled briefly, sorted out his memory and said: "Hansen, at the beginning, you gave me half a cart of grain, plus a hanging pot. This should be the investment you talk about.
But on the first trip, when you brought three carts of moldy grain and old grain, I had already given you a cart of high-quality iron ore, which was enough to offset the previous debt.
On the second trip, when you brought five carts of moldy and old grain, I also filled your carts with high-quality iron ore. If my estimate is correct, this sum will be enough for you to earn five times the profit. More or less.
Today is the third trip. I wonder if what I said is wrong?
Of course, you can calculate the superficial accounts like this, but you can't calculate the emotional accounts like this. Today I will help you to calculate the emotional accounts clearly. Anna, did you get the things I asked you to take? "
"Bring it...bring it here." The young priest ran over panting, holding a small wooden box in her hand.
Gavin didn't even open it to look at it. He picked it up with one hand, threw the small wooden box at Hansen's feet with a bang and said: "This box contains our emotional accounts. If you think it's not a loss, , just unload the grain from the cart, and if you feel you still have a loss, pull the grain back intact. In any case, from now on, we will be cut off from each other, and there will be no more business dealings."
When the small wooden box landed on the ground, the lid of the box, which was not tightly closed, opened directly, and a few crystal clear crystal stones popped out from inside.
Several merchants who obviously knew the goods whispered: "Spirit crystal stone."
"Do you know this kind of crystal? How come you've never seen it before? What's its value?" A business owner who didn't know the goods asked in a low voice.
"It's not easy to judge, because this kind of crystal can only be effective in the hands of special casters. However, in such a large quantity, according to the ordinary price, it must be more than a thousand gold. If it is in the hands of someone who urgently needs it, it may be more than ten thousand gold. "
"Hiss! Even at ordinary prices, Hansen's grain is enough to buy hundreds of carts. This emotional account is really expensive."
What made all the merchants' expressions change slightly was that the tall half-ogre was striding over. He carried a total of four small wooden boxes of the same size and shape.
You know what's inside without asking.
It seems that Gavin not only wants to settle emotional scores with Hansen, but also wants to settle emotional scores with other business owners.
What a joke.
Only a fool would settle an emotional score with Gavin, especially after seeing so many spiritual crystals.
What does this mean?
This shows that the other party has dug up a vein of spiritual crystal.
This small box of spiritual crystal ore looks very tempting, but it is a one-time deal. Once you accept it, even if they find a gold mine, it has nothing to do with you.
If it were a farmer who was ignorant and easily satisfied, who knows, he might really pick up the small wooden box and leave.
But it would be more uncomfortable for these business owners to make this choice than to kill them.
Just look at Hansen's face. It's almost turning purple. Most of his previous aggressive attitude has dissipated. He looks at the other business owners with a pitiful look for help.
No one was angry with Qian, especially the businessmen who were bent on playing into Qian's eyes. As the box of spiritual crystals was smashed down, the previous dissatisfaction of those business owners had long been wiped out.
The business owner who had smoothed over the situation before came forward again and said: "Brother Gavin, you are too ignorant. How can feelings be measured by money? Especially when we share the same hardships. I just said, Han Brother Sen, with his temper, he definitely didn’t mean it, I’m talking about it, Hansen.”
"Yes, yes, yes." Hansen nodded repeatedly and walked down the slope, "That's not what I meant. I just think that you should not shut us out of the caravan. After all, we are business partners... "
"You don't mean that, but I do." Gavin said with a cold face, "This is my home. I welcome you in because of my affection. I don't welcome you in because of my duty. When you combine your affection with When our duties are confused, there is no need to do our business. It is easy to get together and relax. I am a person who attaches great importance to feelings. Now our emotional accounts have been settled clearly. There will be no further contact between us. There is no need to discuss this matter. , if anyone continues to be nagging, I will calculate all his emotional debts."
"You..." Hansen wanted to say something else.
Six or seven business owners jumped out again. Some covered their mouths, some hugged their waists, some pulled their arms. While pulling them back, they whispered, "Shut up, you, you, keep talking nonsense." , our business is over.”
This time, the tugging was different from the last time. Not only was it fast and ruthless, several business owners obviously even used grappling techniques. They dared not let Hansen speak again with his bad mouth. He was in business. It is not a big miracle that I have not been killed by this bad mouth and bad temper for many years.
"Yes, yes, the fault in this matter is ours. We didn't distinguish the priorities clearly. Brother Gavin is not the kind of person who doesn't miss old friendships. Since he didn't let us in, he must have his own deep meaning. It's because we didn't grasp it well. Measures." The business owner rubbed his hands and said, "But this person will always give us a chance to correct himself when he is confused. If we don't look at anything else, just because we have been together for more than a month, you also We can’t let our trip go in vain.”
After hearing this, the expression on Gavin's face finally relaxed, and he nodded and said: "Uncle Clay, what you are saying now is what a serious businessman should say. If you had had this kind of mentality, , we don’t have to make the current unpleasantness, business will definitely be done, but not today, everyone is too angry, so just calm down for a day, and we will talk about the rest tomorrow, what do you think?"
"Brother Gavin is very considerate. We will camp and rest today. If anything happens, we will discuss it tomorrow." Clay naturally followed suit, "It's just our caravan. Where should we camp?"
Clay wisely stopped mentioning the matter of entering the Black Well Tribe. This topic was obviously a scandal and exploded whenever he mentioned it.
"As long as you avoid the main entrance, you can use the open space on both sides." Gavin pointed to both sides, "Don't worry, my patrols are not only guarding this place, but the surrounding hills are also under their protection. There will be blind people who come to harass you."
Clay laughed and said, "Brother Gavin has forgotten what we do? We have traveled through the entire rocky area more than a dozen times, how can we be scared at the door of brother Gavin's house?"
"Well, if you need anything, just ask them to inform me. I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you. If there is anything, we will talk about it tomorrow."
Gavin said hello, took the girl priest and the half-ogre with him, and turned around to walk away. The box of spiritual crystals thrown on the ground was selectively forgotten by him.
Until Gavin's figure completely disappeared from the Black Well tribe, the business owners were still looking at each other.
One business owner couldn't help but ask: "What does he mean?"
Clay glanced at the kobold soldiers around him warily, and whispered: "Don't talk here, let's set up camp first and meet at my place later."
"good."
"good."
All the businessmen responded one after another.
