"I'm sorry, I don't accept this deal." Gavin refused cleanly, "You have a dispute over the Battle Valley's determination of Vizeme Manor as a lost place. Please go to Lord Ilmet to negotiate with you. I have nothing to do with it.”
Gavin stood up directly to see the guests off and said: "The ghost wine auction is about to be held. I still have a lot of things to do, so I won't spend more time with Sir. I still say what I said before, if you come to participate in the auction, I will raise my hands." Welcome, if you have other plans, I'm sorry."
Carter's words were also extremely tough: "If Mr. Gavin refuses to accept our agreement, then we will reserve the right to take back the territory, including using force. Please don't make a mistake, Mr. Gavin."
If the soft one doesn't work, then the hard one will do.
This is Sambia's usual style of doing things.
"I also have the right to protect my territory, including using force." Gavin responded calmly.
Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes.
He expected that the other party would suppress him in Nasambia, and if they really used troops on a large scale, the other party would probably have many concerns.
If you are not careful, you will stir up a hornet's nest.
Not only will the entire Vale react, but even Cormyr and the Zhentarim will not sit idly by.
They do not want Sambia to annex the valley and become stronger, which is their basic national policy.
"You..." Carter's expression finally changed.
This was the first time he had seen such a bold young man turning a blind eye to the threat from a country. Where did he get the confidence?
"Sir, Sir, do you want to leave by yourself? Or should I send someone to take you out?" Now that his face was torn, Gavin was no longer polite.
"I'll go by myself." Carter snorted heavily, "You still have half a day to think about it. Before I leave this place, my previous proposals will be effective. I hope Mr. Gavin will not make a decision that he will regret for the rest of his life. "
"You don't have to wait for a long time. I will give you a clear answer now. My decision will not change, please." Gavin's attitude was extremely firm.
Carter strode away with a full belly of anger. He must have scolded Gavin thousands of times in his heart. At the same time, he was secretly furious and must make Gavin pay the price for today's rejection.
Even if Sembia is limited by the external environment, it cannot dispatch a mercenary army.
But rogue bandits are everywhere, and it doesn’t take a matter of minutes to capture a territory with a population of less than a few thousand?
Not to mention those adults, even he can come up with several methods in a blink of an eye.
After sending the so-called representative of Sambia away, Gavin's mood was not affected at all.
According to the greedy nature of those wealthy politicians in Sambia, whenever I want to achieve something here, conflict with them is inevitable.
Gavin had already been mentally prepared for this when he chose Battle Valley as his new territory.
After an in-depth conversation with the Grand Inquisitor of Wallonia, this understanding became clearer.
Now it's just the end of things.
The only thing left to do next is to find ways to deal with the situation. No matter how much you worry, it's useless.
Compared with this matter, the serious lack of grassroots management personnel is his biggest headache at the moment.
The young soldiers led by Copperfield were definitely good at driving ships on the water, but when dealing with these businessmen, they were a bit blind and couldn't find their way at all.
In the end, the half-elf girls brought by Regina were of great help.
Half of them are bards and the other half are druids.
Even those half-elf druids are the kind who are good at dancing and exquisite, not to mention the professional bards who are known to be the most socially adept.
It is more than enough to deal with most of its businessmen, and its management skills are also good. As long as Gavin explains things clearly, he can execute everything.
At this point, Gavin was already overjoyed and didn't dare to force anything.
It is said that big forces and big shots are the last to enter.
This ghost wine auction is no exception.
Most of the caravans that gathered three days before the auction were small and medium-sized. Many deals had been finalized before the auction started. They were not here for the ghost wine, but to take the opportunity to promote their own products. of.
Three days later, the caravan entering the scene was called a heavyweight, and every name could make people tremble.
Zhentarim Guild, Crimson Feather, Royal Chamber of Commerce of Cormyr, Cyre Foreign Trade Association, Darren Chamber of Commerce, Aldulin Chamber of Commerce, Sergant Chamber of Commerce, Uraspil Chamber of Commerce, Yehong Chamber of Commerce, and Sellon Chamber of Commerce.
Needless to say, the Zhentarim and the Crimson Feathers are the two major business overlords in the Moonsea region. They are bound to be present wherever they have interests.
No matter how deep the grudge between Gavin and Zhentarim is and they no longer want to see him, they cannot turn him away in this situation, let alone do anything drastic, because the other party is currently conducting normal trade activities.
He doesn't have the strength yet to directly break up with the opponent and engage in a full-scale confrontation.
The Cormyr Royal Chamber of Commerce, as you can tell by its name, is the Cormyr Royal Chamber of Commerce. Because it is national in nature, they do not do domestic business in Cormyr, but only do external business.
The nature of the Sayre Foreign Trade Association is the same. It is the representative of the group of red-robed mages in Sayre. The trade concessions of Sayre in various countries and cities are the work of this association. It was originally unknown. With the introduction of Sayre Magic Trading Shop, Since then, horror profits have been recorded every year, and now the right to speak in Serge is increasing day by day.
There is no need to introduce the last six chambers of commerce again, the six chambers of commerce in Sambia’s cities.
Obviously they have also made preparations.
It would be best if they could eat the Vizeme Manor and all the ghost wines in one go. Then they could make use of Gavin's early foreshadowing and reap a fortune here.
If the negotiation breaks down, they will not be able to give up the benefits brought by ghost wine.
This is not simply a matter of interests, but also involves market share.
If they give up ghost wine, they will give up the market share of this high-end wine. Other businessmen will sell this wine to Sambia and take away more profits from there.
On the last day of the auction, Regina ran out of the Vizeme Manor happily, dragging Gavin and saying, "Let's go, let's go, I'll introduce you to someone."
"Where do I have time now? Haven't you seen how busy I am?" Gavin's eyes were a little red. He hadn't slept for three days and three nights, and he didn't even have the time to be lost in thought for an hour or two.
He vowed that when this happened, he would cultivate a group of excellent middle and lower-level managers as soon as possible.
For such a large-scale event, without a group of handy subordinates to run errands, once everything is done personally, it can be tiring to death.
If it weren't for the sake of money, he would have quit long ago.
"If you don't come, don't regret it. This lady is not something you can usually see if you want to." Regina said as if if you don't come, don't blame me if you regret it in the future.
Miss? Is it rarely seen?
Gavin grasped the key words keenly.
Even though Lord Ilmet came in person, he never saw her mobilize forces like this.
Since it makes her a little excited, he must be the object of her admiration.
Such people are rare in the valley, and it cannot be one of those people I guessed.
Gavin didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly cast a vitality spell on himself to cheer up his spirit.
Follow Regina and run towards the Vizeme Manor in a hurry.
But halfway through, Regina changed her route and instead of going to the manor, she plunged into the vineyard.
Outside Grape Village, I saw the lady Regina mentioned.
Just the sight of his back made Gavin tremble, and a name popped into his mind uncontrollably. It turned out to be her.
I saw that the man was wearing a silver elf chainmail, a light green elf cloak, long silver hair tied up with a silver headdress hanging down to his waist, carrying a silver long sword on his back, and a small harp statue on his waist. , very similar to Regina's one, but more exquisite, probably with the same magical effect, a more powerful one.
Looking at her well-proportioned figure from a distance, it was only when she got closer that she realized that she was very tall, at least taller than most men. Gavin, who had already grown so much taller, still couldn't look at her at eye level. She was at least 1.85 meters tall and her legs were too long. Tall and well-proportioned, full of endless power.
There are no traces of time on her face. There are no wrinkles at all. She has an extremely standard oval face, showing a healthy wheat color. Her lips are slightly pursed, with a smile from the heart. But when you look at each other, you will find that her The eyes are extremely deep and seem to contain countless stories.
In terms of pure appearance, she is obviously inferior to Regina.
But she has a heroic spirit and appeal that Regina does not have.
Gavin didn't feel any aura from her, and without knowing it, he thought the other person was just an ordinary person who didn't even have a career template opened.
But Gavin knew that, on the contrary, this was a return to nature that could only be achieved by entering a high-level legend. He had reached an extreme level of his own power and could lock all the breath in his body without wasting a single moment.
The opponent was so powerful that it was beyond imagination, one that could be ranked in the top fifty in Faerûn.
Even if you are at the peak of the legendary warrior, you may not be able to go ten rounds in front of him.
Because she is the Storm*Silverhand.
She is many things.
She is the illegitimate daughter and elect of the second-generation magic goddess Mystra, one of the leaders of the Harpers' Alliance, the adopted daughter and sister-in-law of Elminster, the terminator of the tyranny of the valley, the actual ruler of the Valley of Shadows, and one of the seven sisters. one.
Someone living in the world of Toril may have never heard of the Seven Sisters, but he must know this ancient and simple rhyme.
The seven brightest stars in the night sky,
Seven pairs of eyes always stare into my eyes,
Seven brilliant smiles,
Seven pairs of catkins can always solve problems.
"Madam, I brought you the man. He is Gavin Nott, the current owner of this place." Regina, who has always been eloquent, looked very reserved in front of the storm, with unconcealable admiration in her eyes. It's like watching your idol.
In the valley, it is not unusual for Storm to be regarded as an idol, especially among girls. Three or four out of ten idolize her.
At this time, Storm's eyes shifted from the fungus crops on the grapevine to Gavin. He looked at him carefully and said, "You are younger than I expected. You have done very well. In the past month, , all I heard were your stories. You managed this vineyard very well, especially in terms of being able to mobilize the enthusiasm of the elves, which not everyone can do.
If your ghost wine is successful, it will open up a new farming model for the valley. "
Just as Gavin expected, this legendary lady had a standard smoky voice, a little hoarse, and had a natural wild flavor.
But the way he spoke was far from the legendary boldness and wildness.
Seeming to see through the doubts in Gavin's eyes, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Feng Feng's face, and he waved his hands vigorously and said: "Forget it, forget it, this method taught by the eldest sister is not easy to use at all, it is too awkward. .”
Immediately after, Storm took a pair of long legs, took three steps and two steps, and arrived at Gavin's side. He patted Gavin's shoulder hard and said: "Young man, you did a good job. I like it very much. We are very optimistic about you." .
Regina told me your worries, don't worry, as long as you work hard, if anyone dares to cause trouble, I will be the first to kill him. "
The power of the storm was so great that it rivaled August's and hit Gavin's shoulders heavily.
But it's this bold movement and bold way of speaking that match the legend.
You are a genius, remember in one second: Red Oasis:
