"This is the last clause. It can be regarded as an additional clause that can be achieved or not. We still hope that it can be achieved, that is, to help us kill the fast roc that brought trouble to this place. After that, Mr. bought it from us War horses will be discounted at a 10% discount. If it fails, it will not affect our transaction..."
Gavin, who had already touched all the other party's cards, shook his head and refused without hesitation: "I don't agree with this transaction method."
"Mr. Gavin, what a good deal this is? You don't need to pay any money immediately, and you can use nearly ten thousand horses of various kinds."
"That's right, we help you bear all the risks. Why do you still refuse?"
"Sir, I think you can reconsider this deal."
The racecourse businessmen couldn't help but talk to Gavin, and their faces were exactly the same as those salesmen on earth who persuaded people to buy houses or cars in installments.
Master Ambala waved his hand to stop the chattering of the racecourse owners. He looked at Gavin and said: "This is just the transaction method we have planned. If sir, you have a better method, why not tell it and we can continue to discuss it." .”
"Your plan is based on the situation that I can't immediately come up with equivalent goods or funds. Thank you very much for your kindness, but compared to this method, I prefer to clear the money and goods. I will use gold coins method to pay for the purchase of this war horse.”
Gavin rejected this trading method from the ground up. I have enough cash, why should I play a trading method that allows you to eat both sides?
The more than half a million gold coins previously harvested from the young red dragon's nest are still gathering dust in his treasure house.
It's true that he has a bit of a dragon's hoarding habit, but it doesn't mean that he leaves a bunch of gold coins there and is reluctant to use them. Gold coins that are not circulated are just a pile of precious metals that cannot be eaten or drank, let alone themselves. Generate gold coins and create new value.
The owners of the racecourse couldn't help but look at each other. In the past ten days, they had fully felt how wealthy this young man was, but they did not expect him to be so wealthy.
Although it was not clear how many war horses the other party wanted to buy, judging from the manner in which he came to drive, it seemed that there were not even a few thousand horses, but he was sorry for the noise he had caused. Even the lowest-end driving horse would cost hundreds of thousands.
If the other party trades with gold coins, how much cash flow will there be?
Did he rob the dragon's nest?
Well, it seems that they really robbed a red dragon's nest.
It seems that they underestimated others.
Without waiting for the owners of the racecourse to react, Gavin continued: "All war horses are priced according to the market price of Glory City. I have no objection, but the horses are no longer picked up by you. Instead, you will send them to my designated place." The location, the quantity will be calculated based on the good horses I receive, and the payment will be brought directly to this place."
Gavin initially announced that he would raise the war horse, but there were multiple calculations in it.
One is to find a logical excuse for himself to buy the Shi Puma Hotel. This is really easy to use and does not arouse too much suspicion.
Second, he has a large number of fey druids in his hands. They all have the ability to communicate and tame animals, and have the advantage of driving groups of war horses.
The third is to explore the reactions of the owners of the racecourse in Amphair Village.
In Faerûn, merchants and bandits collude, and both merchants and bandits are everywhere.
They sell you the goods on the front foot, and sell your information on the back foot to the bandits along the way, which is considered a good thing.
Some simply use their own escorts to pretend to be bandits, and turn around to snatch back the goods sold to you. This is not uncommon, and the Zhentarim are best at this trick.
Judging from the feedback from the surroundings and several hints from Gauser's mother, the owners of these racecourses in Amphel Village are not clean. The appearance of horses of unknown origin from time to time in their racecourses is a problem.
As long as this kind of thing doesn't fall on him, Gavin has no time to worry about it. After all, it's not his territory.
But since he mentioned this matter, Gavin will definitely stop doing it. In this way, the losses during transportation do not need to be considered by himself, and will be directly attributed to these horse farms.
In comparison, his transportation of boxes of gold coins will be an extremely simple matter - the extraordinary transportation volume of the dimensional cave combined with the teleportation technique is perfect for transporting such valuables. It is nothing more than running a few more times. trip thing.
Gavin then added a third item, "As for Ji Peng, the disaster at the racecourse, I just want to ask, will the reward of 100,000 gold coins you offered earlier be counted?"
When he asked this question, Master Ambala basically understood what he wanted to do. He simply wanted to use the head of Ji Peng as payment for the war horse.
No matter how many dark and dirty tricks they have behind their backs, on the surface, they are legal racecourse operators under the jurisdiction of the Glory City. The rewards previously offered must not be suddenly turned away at this time and hardened. Scalp nodded and said: "As long as you can get the monster's head, sir, we will make a joint payment, but if we need help, the bounty will be greatly reduced."
"This is natural." Gavin nodded in agreement, "What do you think of my trading plan?"
The racecourse owners exchanged quick glances, and finally Master Ambala said: "Mr. Gavin's trading plan is far different from ours. Please allow us to discuss it in private."
"Please, I'll go out and get some fresh air." Gavin stood up directly, "After you've finished discussing, just send someone out to call me."
After finishing speaking, Gavin directly left the guest room to the racecourse owners.
Walking out of the hotel door, Gavin clearly felt the magic fluctuations behind him. He had obviously put up a magic barrier to prevent eavesdropping.
Gavin smiled and didn't take it to heart.
You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must not have the intention of guarding against others.
It is normal to be wary of each other.
"Mr. Gavin."
As soon as Gavin stepped out of the Stone Pony Hotel, he heard a greeting. When he heard the voice, he saw a stunningly beautiful face of a mature woman. If not Gowther's mother, who else could it be?
The balcony of her room is facing the hotel door. Standing on the balcony, you can easily see most of the hotel's activities.
At this point in time, she was standing here, obviously not to watch the scenery, but because she knew about the meeting in the hotel and was waiting for Gavin here.
Gavin visually inspected the layout of the Happy Hall. With one start and three quick climbs and leaps, he arrived at Gao Se's mother's balcony on the third floor. His face was not red and he was not out of breath. He was extremely relaxed.
Mother Gothel sighed: "Even now, I still can't believe that you are a spell caster, not a thief or a warrior."
What Gavin just did was easy for those warriors and thieves, but more challenging for spellcasters.
"Who said that spell casters must be weak?" Gavin said with a smile, "Even without professional strengthening, if you maintain enough exercise, your physical fitness will always exceed that of most ordinary people. It's just that many spell casters are too lazy and blame all their sins. It’s time to strengthen the professional level.”
"You're talking lightly. If everyone was as self-disciplined as you, then everyone would be a warrior." Gao Se's mother had seen Gavin's training intensity with her own eyes. Even she, a serious thief, felt that Ashamed.
Looking at his appearance during training, you can tell that it is by no means a temporary passion, but like Delala, he has regarded it as a habit in his life. Many times, he does not take time out to exercise, but integrates it into his life. .
For example, his hands are never idle. There are always a few fine gold coins flipping back and forth. This is not for fun, but to maintain finger flexibility. Whether he is a warrior or a spell caster, he has a high degree of finger flexibility. Require.
Not only Gavin, she and Craven have similar habits, but what she uses to train herself is a few invisible flying knives that ordinary people can't see. Craven uses stainless steel guts to not only train his sensitivity. , and also exercise strength.
Gavin smiled and did not continue to argue on this topic. Instead, he thanked: "This time, I would like to thank Madam for your intelligence support. But if you do this, will you offend these racecourse owners?"
Information about the Amphair Village Racecourse Alliance and the abnormal activities of bandits in the surrounding areas.
Before that, Gavin had received enough hints from Gowther's mother to formulate a new trading plan so that the other party would not be caught off guard.
In terms of intelligence gathering, especially around Amphier Village, Mother Gowther has energy and means that Gavin cannot match.
Mother Gaother responded with a sly smile and said: "I haven't done anything. Instead, I am actively facilitating the horse trade between you and the racecourse. Those bandits are a scourge that hinders the prosperity of our horse market in Amphail Village. Everyone can get it." Punish them, they can’t even understand this.”
Collusion between businessmen and bandits is of course not something that can be brought to the table. Once someone catches them, they are likely to be uprooted.
After all, this place falls within the radiation range of Waterdeep City, and no lord likes this kind of illegal business.
Gavin also laughed, "How have you considered the matter that I discussed with the lady earlier?"
In the past few days, he fully felt the convenience of action with intelligence support in Amphir Village, allowing him to be targeted and quickly expand his advantages.
Ninety percent of this information comes from Mother Gowther.
As his business grows bigger and bigger, dealing with foreign countries will become a daily routine, and he cannot rely on this temporary, local source of intelligence.
Not to mention whether it is cost-effective or not, whether it is reliable or not is also a question.
On the contrary, establishing your own intelligence agency and training specialized espionage personnel is the key.
Looking at the people around him from beginning to end, Gavin could not find a talent with such skill and numerous channels.
Therefore, he set his sights on Gothel's mother and her escort girls.
They have an intelligence network of their own, and spreading it out through them will be much easier.
"The terms you offered are quite generous." Gao Se's mother had a rare expression of confusion on her face. "I'm afraid that our abilities are not as great as you think. My connections are mainly in the Glory City. Once I leave here, I don't have any advantage."
"In the past few days, after careful planning, I have thought of a more suitable win-win solution." Gavin said with a smile, "You have also seen the advantages of my kobold construction team.
What the lady has to do is to follow the famous business roads around the Glory City and look for suitable industries like the Shima Hotel.
If we can buy it, we will spend the money to buy it.
If it is occupied by monsters, we will send our own troops or hire mercenaries to clean it up.
Leave the restoration work to me, and leave the specific management to you and your escort girl. We will each share half of the income from the business. "
It would be a bit premature for Gavin to establish that kind of pure intelligence network.
It is better to lay out a business network directly. As long as this network is laid out, an intelligence network will naturally form.
He planned to use the energy of Gowther's mother in the Glory City to set up a pilot project. Even if he didn't make any money, at least he wouldn't lose money.
Gao Se's mother's beautiful eyes began to sparkle and she said: "This method is good, this method is good. With the shrewdness of my girls and the construction and maintenance capabilities of your kobolds, if you open a hotel on the business road, you will definitely make money." Buying and selling, when we get there, we will not only provide various catering services, but also truck repair services, and by the way, there will also be your fey subordinates. If each hotel is equipped with one or two such beings, we can also Providing horse treatment and replacement services is equivalent to a hotel, carpentry shop, stables and many other services rolled into one.”
Mother Gothel became more and more excited as she talked, "If we spend more money to hire a few more blacksmiths, our hotel can include all the services. We don't need to rely on towns at all. We can completely build isolated hotels in more remote places." Shichengzhai Hotel.
It is usually difficult for such a hotel to have competitors, and it can be completely independent, and the pricing can be adjusted accordingly.
It would be even more perfect if a hotel like this could be equipped with one or two Enlightenment Trees.
Not only is safety greatly guaranteed, we can even provide loading and unloading services. If a vehicle breaks down on the road nearby, we can also provide towing and repair services..."
When some things develop to a certain extent, they are interconnected.
The Walled City Hotel mentioned by Gao Se's mother is actually a high-speed service station on the earth, but it provides more types of services and is more complete, equivalent to a miniature village walled city.
If it develops well, it is normal for a new village to form around it as time goes by.
Most of the villages and towns in Faerûn came from this, including the village of Amphier. Its core is the cluster of shops and buildings on the long road. This was the first to be built. Others were added on this basis. expanded.
"Madam, you are indeed the best candidate in this regard." Gavin gestured to Gao Se's mother and said, "This is indeed a direction for our later development, but such a city hotel has a high quality of personnel and business ethics. The passenger flow requirements are relatively high, and the load is a bit heavy for us in the early stage. It is better to start by repairing abandoned shop buildings, and when there is a suitable opportunity, it is not too late to start building a walled hotel."
What Gao Se's mother said is actually the direction Gavin wants to develop in the future. Since she thought of it herself, it's better, just treat it as her thoughts and creativity.
When she advances this matter, she naturally becomes more motivated.
"The Stone Pony Hotel in Anfeier Village is enough. Let's use this as a starting point directly, starting from the long road. Tomorrow, no, wait a minute, I will follow the caravan and walk along the long road to see Is there any suitable place along the way?" Gao Se's mother's enthusiasm was completely aroused.
If this thing is really done, if you open a happy hall in the future, you will be more comfortable than guarding a hotel or shop and being the boss lady.
"Leave this matter to the lady. When the time comes, you will write down all the points of the inspection. We will discuss it later. It doesn't matter if I have already left this place when the lady comes back. I will take time to come back every few days. When the time comes, we will make a specific appointment based on need." Gavin left this matter directly to Gao Se's mother, and he only made the final decision.
After all, this is a very tedious and energy-consuming thing.
In the next month or so, the matter of immigration to Dalauma will take up most of his energy.
As the stall grew bigger and bigger, he could no longer do everything himself and had to delegate some things to other capable people.
People like Gao Se's mother who are bound by interests also count.
"Don't worry, this little thing won't bother me." Gao Se's mother responded readily.
"Then I won't talk to the lady any more. You'll greet me below." After Gavin said hello to Gao Se's mother, he went back the same way. It was easier than when he came up. He borrowed some strength and landed easily.
There was a racecourse owner standing at the door of the hotel, and the magic barrier had been removed, indicating that they had finished renegotiating.
After sitting down again, it was Master Ambala who still spoke on behalf of the racecourse owners, "We don't have much objection to the general direction of this transaction. Now there are a few minor disputes that need to be confirmed. First of all, sir, we need to let us transfer the war horses." Where should it be sent? If it is sent to the valley, we will not be able to accept the price you mentioned."
"You don't need to go to the valley, just go to Ivanso on the Dragon Coast." Gavin gave the exact destination this time.
The road from Darauma to Ivanso is relatively smooth. The most difficult point is that there are two powerful countries, Tethyr and Amn, standing in the way.
There is no way to follow normal business roads, so you can only go through the wilderness and make your own way.
This problem has been left to Blood Claw and his Blood Claw Army to solve.
No matter which road you take from Aifansou onward, it involves a lot of rugged and difficult mountain roads. At this time, you need a lot of livestock assistance.
Upon hearing Gavin's destination, the racecourse owners couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
