Chapter 129 Weakness is Original Sin!
Xu Ruofeng was madly complaining about Chen Yan in his heart. He could just pretend to be a businessman from Guanhai City, but at least give him a serious name. What the hell are Tom and Jerry? They're just pretending to be Tom and Jerry.

Also, why Chen Yan is a businessman and he is a guard? It's not reasonable at all. How can there be such a handsome guard like him!
"It turns out to be Mr. Tom. I'm glad to meet you. Since you said so, it won't be appropriate if we don't lower the price. What price do you think is appropriate?"

Herman looked at Chen Yan and said.

Although he had never heard of the name Tom, and he could not confirm whether Chen Yan was really the son of a high-ranking member of the Chamber of Commerce, he did not dare to bet.

If they win the bet, they will only lose some gold coins. If they lose the bet, then they will not simply lose some gold coins in Rose Town. If they offend the senior officials of the Chamber of Commerce, they will definitely have a difficult life in the future.

Moreover, Herman always felt that Chen Yan was really a son, and at worst an illegitimate son.

How can ordinary people's merchants have such a calm temperament and superior attitude, even the appearance of the guards is so outstanding.

The only thing that puzzled him was why Chen Yan only brought one bodyguard with him.

Is it because the guard is extremely powerful, or did he do this on purpose, just to be able to come out with the guard alone?
After all, he heard that some aristocrats like masculinity, and this son may be the same.

Fortunately, Chen Yan didn't know what Herman was thinking, otherwise, even if he risked failing the mission, he would have to punch Herman twice with "Bang Bang".

Herman thought about it for a while, and decided to lower the price for Chen Yan and the other two. Anyway, the price of Moo Moo Fresh Milk was not very expensive in the first place. It would not matter if one or two silver coins per bucket were lowered. They could still accept it.

"I think"

"Ten silver coins a bucket!"

Before Chen Yan could say the price in his mind, he was interrupted by Xu Ruofeng's words.

He looked at Xu Ruofeng in surprise, what the hell is this guy doing!

Xu Ruofeng raised his eyebrows proudly at Chen Yan, saying that he would leave the bargaining to him. He had learned the strategy of bargaining, and it was the most basic operation to cut the price in half first.

Herman also had a shocked expression on his face.

It turns out that this guard is not dumb, but can talk!
No, now is not the time to think about this. Why did this guard named Jerry bid for Tom and cut the price so low all of a sudden? Could it be Tom's intention?
But there is no such thing as bargaining, how can the price be cut in half when it comes up!

Herman said with a stiff face:

"The price of ten silver coins per bucket is really too low. We can't even earn back our capital at this price."

They also need to spend money to raise large milk tanks, not to mention the pasture, and the milk-promoting potion and fresh-keeping potion alone cost a lot of money. This is not counting labor costs, and the price of ten silver coins is indeed a bit low.

If the price was only reduced by one or two silver coins, then he still had the power to decide whether to reduce the price, but Xu Ruofeng came up and asked for a half price reduction. He did not dare to make a decision casually, and had to ask the Baron.

However, the baron will definitely not agree to this price. Their baron is just a little weak in character, but he is not stupid.

"Actually we."

"We'll just give you ten silver coins. If it's more, you can sell it or not. If not, we'll leave!"

Just as Chen Yan was about to say that we could discuss it further, he was interrupted again by Xu Ruofeng.

He winked at Xu Ruofeng desperately to signal him not to talk nonsense, but Xu Ruofeng obviously misunderstood and quietly gave him a thumbs up.

Chen Yan couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw this. He regretted it now, very much.

"I'm so stupid, really, I just know that Xu Ruofeng is unreliable and talks nonsense. I didn't know he would suddenly bargain."

If he knew this, he might as well recruit a few newcomers to complete the task. Although the strength of the newcomers is a little lower, they are at least obedient and won't let themselves be so passive.

Chen Yan glared at Xu Ruofeng several times, but the other party didn't seem to notice and was still concentrating on bargaining with Herman.

"We really can't sell it at this price, so please understand."

Herman smiled bitterly.

He also doesn't understand the guard's bargaining method. Why don't you raise a few silver coins so that we can continue to discuss it? What do you mean by leaving at every turn?
There is also this young man named Tom, your guards have been bargaining on their behalf, and you have not reacted at all. Even if he is your male favorite, you can't spoil him like this.

Or this is what you meant, but you just said it through the mouth of the guard.

But you can't go too far. You don't want to give up for the sake of gold-plated face. The price is reduced so severely that you don't care about the life and death of others.

Before Herman could think about it, Xu Ruofeng pulled Chen Yan to leave, muttering loudly:

"If you don't give up, Master Tom, let's go!"

Where are you going? Just go!
Chen Yan was helpless, their mission this time was to buy Momoo fresh milk, once you left, the mission would fail.

"Don't worry, he will definitely keep us."

Xu Ruofeng whispered to Chen Yan, his tone full of confidence.

Chen Yan rolled his eyes when he heard that, big brother, who gave you the courage and confidence to cut the price in half at once, and he is not stupid, how could he agree to sell it at this price.

Just as Chen Yan was thinking about how to end it without embarrassment, he suddenly heard a voice behind him.

"You two distinguished guests, please stay and don't leave in a hurry. The price can still be negotiated."

Um?Half the price can be negotiated? !

Chen Yan was completely shocked. He didn't expect that Qiangwei Town would go so far in order to lick Guan Haicheng.

By the way, this voice is a bit strange, not like Herman's voice.

Chen Yan turned his head and found a man in a noble dress appeared beside Herman.

This man is not tall, his face is pale, and he looks very weak.

But his temperament is very outstanding, and you can tell at a glance that he is well-educated and a pure nobleman.

Chen Yan looked at the other person and already guessed his identity.

"This must be the lord of Qiangwei Town. Hello, my lord. I am a merchant from the Yaojin Chamber of Commerce in Guanhai City. I came to Qiangwei Town this time to buy some Momoo fresh milk."

He bowed to each other.

"Hi, you guessed it right, I am the lord of Rose Town, Baron Lancaster, welcome to come to Rose Town to buy goods, I understand the general situation, the price of ten silver coins per bucket is indeed a bit low .”

"Let's do this. We both take a step back. This is your first time doing business in Rose Town. In order to congratulate you on your successful business trip, we can lower the price of each barrel of fresh milk by five silver coins and treat it as a gift to Tom. ,What do you think of this?"

Lancaster said sincerely.

"No, must"

"Shut up!"

This time it was Chen Yan's turn to interrupt Xu Ruofeng's words.

Xu Ruofeng heard that there was something wrong with Chen Yan's tone, so he wisely closed his mouth.

Seeing that Xu Ruofeng stopped talking, Chen Yan also breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that Xu Ruofeng would say something inappropriate again.

Although Xu Ruofeng's nonsensical bargaining finally brought the price down, Chen Yan didn't believe that they would have such good luck every time.

What's more, the price of fifteen silver coins is already very low. He originally thought that it would be good to drop one or two silver coins per bucket, but he didn't expect to drop five silver coins.

One must know that they had to buy fifty barrels of Moo Moo's fresh milk, which directly saved 250 silver coins.

Um?Two hundred and five?This number is quite ironic, it couldn't be the baron's intention.

Chen Yan glanced at Baron Lancaster and felt that he was overthinking. Two hundred and five in the Pokémon world is just a number, and it hasn't extended to other meanings.

And even if he had other intentions, he accepted it. After all, according to what Lord Lane said, the more money they save, the more rewards they will get. For rewards, two hundred and five is two hundred and five.

"I'm sorry, I offended my lord baron because I didn't discipline my subordinates strictly. I think the price of fifteen silver coins is very appropriate. Thank you very much for this gift. I like it very much."

Chen Yan said to Baron Lancaster with a smile.

"It's fine if you like it, and I hope you can say a few more good words for us in the chamber of commerce."

"It's easy to say, I believe our chamber of commerce will definitely see your sincerity."

Chen Yan knew in his heart that both Secretary Herman and the Baron Lancaster seemed to think that his identity was not simple.

Although Chen Yan didn't know what the two of them were thinking, he was happy to continue this misunderstanding.

"Well, it will take some time for the servants to load the car. Why don't you two distinguished guests come to my castle to sit and rest for a while, so that we can chat for a while."

Lord Lancaster extended the invitation.

"Well, no, I think it won't take long to load the car, so I won't bother you to entertain us. By the way, I am very interested in the milk production process of the big milk tank. I wonder if you can show us. "

Chen Yan quickly changed the subject.

Just kidding, they are fakes. How dare they go to the castle and sit and chat. If they don’t know anything about it, they will definitely reveal their secrets.

Although the invitation was rejected, Baron Lancaster was not angry. He said to Herman:
"Since the two distinguished guests want to see it, then you can find someone to take them there."

"As ordered."

Herman nodded to accept the order, and then said to Chen Yan:

"Your Excellency Tom, let me remind you first, the environment there is not very good, are you sure you want to go?"

"It doesn't matter, anyway, I won't stay too long, and I will come out after seeing it."

As long as he doesn't go to the castle, Chen Yan is willing to go to any dirty place.

"I understand, please wait a moment, I will go to inform the head of the ranch to show you around."

It didn't take long for Herman to bring the head of the ranch. Led by the big and round head, Chen Yan and Chen Yan walked towards the ranch.

Seeing Chen Yan and others leaving, Herman couldn't help but asked Baron Lancaster:
"Master Baron, why did we sell Moomoo's milk to them at such a low price? After this successful transaction, I'm afraid they will buy Moomoo's milk at a price of fifteen silver coins in the future."

In Herman's eyes, businessmen are all profit-seeking guys, even greedier than Kirby. As long as they seize the opportunity, they will definitely use all means to obtain profits.

Now that they have opened a bucket of fresh milk for fifteen silver coins, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the price of fresh milk to return to twenty silver coins in the future.

"No way, in order to reflect our value to them, we can only sell the goods at a lower price."

"Don't forget, Guanhai City has the largest port in the southeast region. They can purchase goods through maritime transactions. These so-called specialties of ours are actually not scarce. Other places have Moo fresh milk and Meili wool."

"That is to say, we are already at a disadvantage in the transaction. Without the acquisition of Guanhai City, we don't know who to sell these goods to. However, Guanhai City can still buy goods from other places without us."

Baron Lancaster sighed, and then continued:

"What's more, we still need the protection of Guanhai City, so we can't offend them. There is no one in the territory around us to mess with, let alone Ironthorn Town in the west. They have always been warlike."

"Feiyu Town in the north is in a fierce battle with other territories. No matter whether they win or lose, after the victor between them digests the fruits of victory, the next target will definitely be us."

"Only Yinghuo Town in the south poses no threat to us, and can even be used as our barrier, but once Yinghuo Town is also occupied by others, then we will be surrounded by enemies. Without the protection of Guanhai City, we will soon be It will be swallowed by other territories."

Lancaster said with a worried expression. Due to the lack of information, he still didn't know that Yinghuo Town had just resisted the beast tide, otherwise he would not be so relieved about Yinghuo Town.

"But we have paid enough. Not only have we given them a lot of privileges, but we have also treated them with respect. All the products are sold to them at extremely low prices."

"We sold them whatever they wanted, even the big milk cans."

"In order to meet their demand for roses, we have replanted a lot of farmland with roses. Now there are rumors outside that because you love roses, you have replaced all the food with roses, regardless of the life and death of the people you lead."

Herman said frustratedly.

"They are right. I did plant roses where I grew food."

Baron Lancaster laughed at himself.

"But what can I do? I don't have the talent to be a lord. I can't lead the territory to become stronger. I can only rely on the protection of others. I don't want this, but I don't want this territory that has been passed down for hundreds of years to be in my hands. Throw it away!”

He clenched his fist tightly, and finally let go of it dejectedly, with a lonely expression on his face.

"Master Baron, you have done a good job, please don't be discouraged, these grievances are temporary, we."

"Okay, don't comfort me anymore. In fact, I have heard the rumors outside. They all say that our Rose Town is a katy dog ​​raised in Guanhai City, and I am the biggest bastard."

Lancaster interrupted Herman, and said in a low tone:
"The rumors outside don't matter. I'm used to it, but now the residents in the territory are also dissatisfied with me. In order to please Guanhai City, their interests have suffered a lot."

"I can understand their thinking. If I were them, I would be dissatisfied, but I really have no choice."

"To be honest, Herman, I can't stand it any longer."

Seeing Lancaster's eyes filled with tears, Herman clenched his back teeth, his eyes full of anger.

But what can he do? In this world where the weak are preyed upon by the strong, being weak is the original sin!
