This sea lord is a bit strong

Chapter 203 Gilder, Business Negotiation
Going all the way, after turning left and right, I entered a road with few pedestrians, but the number of soldiers patrolling here has increased a lot, and I think I attach great importance to the security here

The carriage stopped slowly in front of a small manor with a rather large area.

"My lord, in order to thank us for our contribution to the business of Fenglin Port, the official of the Fenglin Principality has specially allocated this manor to us as the crown of the ocean. As long as the business exchanges are not interrupted, we can live forever."

"It is also equipped with a group of servants and a steward to serve us."

Ji Chen nodded, not surprised at all.

The two previous large-scale goods transactions by Ocean Crown have brought a large amount of commercial tax revenue to Fenglin Port. For such a benefactor, they can't be polite.

The carriage stopped for a few seconds, and with the sound of slightly hurried footsteps, the gate of the manor was slowly opened from the inside.

Behind the door, there were two rows of maids standing on the left and right sides. Led by a well-dressed middle-aged butler, they saluted Ji Chen and the others in unison.

"Welcome back, master."

"You all have to remember that the owner of this manor is Mr. Ji Chen."

The butler looked at Ji Chen, who had an extraordinary bearing, and was a little surprised.

As the steward assigned here, he knew that this manor was gifted to a territory called the Crown of the Ocean. This territory has caused a wave of waves in Fenglin Harbor recently. Its fleet not only brought A large number of weapons, equipment and ordnance made a lot of money in the war in the north, and it was said that they were favored by those sharp ears.

And the lord of this territory is so young?
Surprise was nothing but surprise, but his good manners made him react quickly, and he walked up to him and saluted respectfully again.

"Welcome Master, please let me know if you have anything to do, and we will serve you devoutly."

Ji Chen lowered his head slightly, without saying a word, he just signaled him to lead the way. With his gestures, the aura of a superior and strong man was naturally revealed.

This appearance made the steward even more certain that Lord Ji Chen must be an extraordinary lord.

In particular, there was a stunning girl following behind her, who was more beautiful than any aristocratic girl or woman of the Fenglin Principality he had seen in half his life, as if carved by the hands of a god.

Accompanied by such stunning beauty, how can he be an ordinary person?
No wonder the Duke specially allocated this manor with every inch of land as his residence during his stay, and also asked him to serve this lord well.

thought here.

His expression became more respectful.

While leading the way, he introduced.

"Master, this manor covers a vast area, with dozens of buildings with various functions, including mansions, practice grounds, wine cellars, conference halls, hot springs, etc.
In addition, the Principality will also ship a batch of fresh ingredients every day to ensure that most of your daily dietary needs can be met..."

Listening to the housekeeper's respectful explanation, Ji Chen nodded from time to time, not to mention other things, with this kind of service attitude, even the most picky occupants can hardly get angry.

I don't know if it was intentional, but compared to the well-dressed butler, the other maids are very bold in wearing revealing maid outfits. The specially tailored tops and skirts show off their figures very well. Whiter than the foam.

Thinking about it, these maids were sent here, in addition to daily affairs, if necessary, they also have to meet certain needs of the master.

Regarding this, Ji Chen could only secretly sigh that the world is getting worse and people's hearts are not the same.

Walk into a luxurious mansion in the center of the manor, and sit down at a long table.

The housekeeper stroked the hem of his scrupulously ironed clothes, lowered his head and asked.

"Master, do you need a meal? There is a batch of seafood ingredients shipped in the manor this morning, which can cook a good seafood meal."

"no need."

Ji Chen waved his hand casually. After a few days of long-distance travel, his appetite is not good, let alone seafood. The crown of the ocean located in the far sea has no shortage of seafood, and he has long been tired of eating.

Now he is concerned about how to find a buyer for the goods of the crown of the ocean and how to sell them.

In response, Raymond showed a mysterious smile, "My lord, we just need to sit and wait for a while..."

Before the words were finished, a maid hurried in from the outside, and when she saw Ji Chen, her face was immediately blushed.

No matter how she looks at it, she thinks this lord is very handsome, and his body is also very strong. If he can be favored by him...

"what's going on?"

Ji Chen's magnetic voice knocked her out of her fantasy, and said hastily, "There is a businessman named Gilder visiting."

Hearing this, Ji Chen's eyes showed a bit of surprise, the fat guy Raymond was really right.

Raymond lowered his head and whispered in his ear.

"My lord, Gilder is a well-known businessman in Maplewood Port. He has abundant funds and many contacts. Last time, nearly [-]% of our weapons and equipment and ordnance were taken by him."

Thirty percent?

Ji Chen was a little surprised. If he remembered correctly, the size of the fleet last time had reached forty ships. Excluding the eight frigates, there were still 32 ships full of weapons and ordnance.

A 20% share is equivalent to eating at least ten ships, with a quantity of at least [-] or more.

It is enough to show how strong this person's financial resources are.

As for the rich man who sent money, Ji Chen also would not refuse anyone who came, with a big wave of his hand.

"Bring him in."

"Yes!"

This is a fat-faced businessman, and his body is quite fat, especially his chubby belly is much bigger than Raymond's, and he trembles with every step he takes.

He was wearing very luxurious clothes, his fat and stubby fingers were covered with gemstone rings, and a large gold chain hung on his similarly stubby neck, revealing the temperament of a super nouveau riche.

Entered surrounded by a large number of servants.

When he saw Raymond, his face brightened, "Brother Lei, long time no see..."

But Gilder felt a little strange watching Raymond desperately winking at him, and then he realized that Raymond was standing behind a young handsome man in a subordinate position.

I was shocked.

The head turned quickly, and it only took a breath to react.

She bent her body, pouted her buttocks, and her expression became very respectful.

"Your Excellency, you must be the wise lord of the Crown of the Ocean. Raymond often tells me about your deeds. I have long admired you."

"If I know that you are coming to Fenglin Port in person this time, then I will definitely welcome you with a feast in advance!"

The speed of Gilder's face-changing, which is comparable to Sichuan opera's face-changing, immediately surprised everyone present.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, as expected of a businessman, the speed of changing face is really amazing.

Ji Chen picked up the tea unhurriedly, took a small sip, and said slowly after signaling the housekeeper and maids to go out.

"I am the Lord of the Ocean Crown, Ji Chen."

"I don't know about this Lord Gilder, what is the reason for your visit?"

A smile spread across Gilder's face.

"Of course there are some important things I would like to ask you, please forgive me if I am taking the liberty of this visit."

Ji Chen didn't have the patience to listen to these polite words, so he put down his teacup and said.

"There is no need to be so polite, please get straight to the point."

Hearing this, Gilder was slightly taken aback, he seemed to know that Ji Chen was a vigorous and resolute person, and his expression became serious.

"Then let me get straight to the point. I am very interested in the goods you brought this time, Your Excellency Ji Chen. I wonder if there is a chance for cooperation?"

Hearing this, Ji Chen showed a hint of interest on his face, "Oh? Even a big businessman like you is interested in the goods of Ocean Crown?"

"Of course, the quality of the weapons and equipment produced by the Ocean Crown has spread throughout the entire Maple Forest City, and even the kingdoms and duchies farther north have also spread the reputation of the Ocean Crown."

"Even the weapons and equipment of the Crown of the Ocean that have been circulated recently are comparable in quality to weapons forged by dwarves!"

"Therefore, I don't know how many merchants want to get such goods, and I am no exception."

The quality is comparable to that forged by dwarves?

Good guy, this is a bit exaggerated.

Although the weapons and equipment forged by the lizardmen are very sophisticated, they are still probably not as good as those forged by the dwarves. After all, the weapons and equipment forged by the dwarves are famous all over the world.

If the bad-tempered dwarf heard this, he might come all the way to find fault.

Ji Chen waved his hand and said, "This is too much praise."

Gilder also smiled. It is true that he said something too much, but it is not without reason.

Perhaps in terms of quality, the weapons and equipment of the dwarves are higher than those of the crown of the ocean, but in terms of quantity and cost performance, they are defeated.

The amount of weapons and equipment forged and exported by the dwarves in a year is not even comparable to the amount exported by the crown of the ocean for half a month.

The difference in price is even greater. Although the difference in quality is not that great, the price difference is several times or even dozens of times. The price of buying a weapon forged by a dwarf can buy more than a dozen pieces of equipment produced by Ocean Crown. .

In terms of cost performance, it was directly beaten.

The market obviously prefers the Crown of the Ocean, after all, ordinary soldiers don't need too sophisticated weapons and equipment.

It can be said that as long as the purchase price is not too outrageous, he can make a lot of money by taking these goods, and the gold coins fall directly from the sky.

"So what you mean is that you want to buy a batch of weapons and equipment from me?"

Unexpectedly, Gilder nodded and shook his head again, a flame called ambition appeared in his eyes.

"Your Excellency Ji Chen, I would like to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with Ocean Crown."

"From now on, I hope to monopolize at least [-]% of the weapons and equipment produced by the Ocean Crown to the North Continent, no matter how much it is."

Ji Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and his heart became more interested.

Good guy, the tone is not small.

According to the current transportation efficiency and speed of Ocean Crown, it can be transported twice a month, and the 40% share is about [-] million pieces of weapons and equipment, and the amount involved is as high as one million or even tens of millions of gold coins.

After the transportation capacity increases in the future, this scale will be even larger.

"My lord, Gilder not only has very strong financial resources, but also seems to be a high-level person in the Fenglin Principality in the backstage. If we can establish a long-term cooperative relationship with him, then our business here will be protected, and we will not be caught by some jealous people. Or coveted by power, "

"In addition, Gilder has a wide range of channels and can find some things more easily, such as a large number of rare resources. His subordinates chose to cooperate with him at that time, and this was also taken into consideration."

Raymond whispered in his ear.

Ji Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. If this is the case, then there is value for cooperation.

The resources and contacts these aborigines have are currently unmatched by players, and they often have extremely strong strength in certain fields.

Even though he has some relations with Monica, the daughter of the Grand Duke of Reinhardt, and the elves, no one thinks he has too many friends.

One more friend is equivalent to one more road.

After thinking about it for a while, Ji Chen made a decision in his heart.

smiled.

"Your Excellency Gilder, I think Ocean Crown also has the idea of ​​long-term cooperation with you. After all, we don't want to spend a lot of time looking for buyers every time we ship it. It will waste a lot of our energy and time."

"If you have time, then we can sit down and talk about share, price and shipping after we eat together."

Hearing this, Gilder was overjoyed, and quickly said: "I am very willing, but let's start the negotiation as soon as possible."

He seemed rather eager, and although Ji Chen was a little puzzled, he agreed.

Next, although he is not very good at trade and negotiation, with the help of Raymond, who has rich experience, he completed the initial negotiation quite smoothly.

Absolutely negotiating, Gilder will occupy [-]% of the weapons and equipment exported to the North Continent by the Crown of the Ocean. The price will be determined according to the quality and variety of the weapons, and the payment will be made with various rare resources.

A whole ship of weapons and equipment will be exchanged for about 3000 units of level [-] rare resources, such as crystals and mithril.

And this time, in the fleet brought by Ji Chen, there are ten ships equipped with weapons and equipment, which means that they can exchange for 3 units of rare resources. Although it is not enough to completely solve the resource problem of the current territory, it can be greatly alleviated.

The moment the consultation was completed, Gilder breathed a sigh of relief, and took out a delicate handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

At this time, there was another sound of footsteps outside, and someone knocked on the door.

"come in."

The person who came was the housekeeper, and I saw him walk in and salute meticulously.

"Master, many businessmen have come outside the manor, saying that they want to come to discuss with you about cooperation in weapons and equipment."

Hearing this, Ji Chen looked at Gilder whose expression changed slightly. It turned out that this guy was so anxious to negotiate.

"Let them all in."

"Yes."

Soon, more than a dozen luxuriously dressed businessmen entered the hall. When they saw Gilder sitting in the hall with a smile on his face, their expressions changed suddenly.

His grandma, Gilder how come so fast! ?
Looks like we're done talking, right?
Damn, we agreed to come together, but you fucking sneaked away!
In this regard, Gilder himself showed them a disdainful look, you can't keep up with the hot ones, let alone make money.
