Chapter 42 The brief stay of the imperial era 3

()(Well, Chapter 2 is in the collection and tickets!)

After listening to Guttel's words, Liu Qi was sweating profusely. He didn't expect that the few things he sold were still targeted by these nobles.Thinking about it, if I hadn't quit the Age of Empires world early on to solve my own related problems, I guess I would have been found by Gutter's family long ago.

Fortunately, I left for a month, fortunately, the other party did not find me...

Of course, Liu Qi didn't know that the Guttel family searched secretly for almost half a month before giving up. Of course Guttel knew this but didn't say it.But Liu Qi is not an idiot. Of course, he understands that a family's inquiry about his whereabouts will definitely not end in a day or two.Luckily, Liu Qi certainly would not have believed that those Romans would trade fairly with a lone family when they found him. Maybe the other party wanted to know the trade route and the source of those commodities from him. Qi is not good news.

But now... Now Liu Qi doesn't care! !

Liu Qi, who has a gun and strong personal strength, is not too afraid of enemies in the cold weapon era. Well, the premise is that the opponent does not have long-range fire support such as crossbow carts and bed crossbows.

But Liu Qi was not complacent. When Liu Qi heard that Guteer approached him hoping to buy some more white salt, he did not directly reveal that he would not sell it, but rather vaguely revealed that the production process of this kind of white salt was extremely complicated. It is produced in a place far away from the city-state of Rome, and the output is very small.Then Liu Qi looked like you had taken a big advantage, and asked Guttel to explain how much he can pay?

Gutell was dumbfounded, where did he bring money?In the end, he could only beg Liu Qi to go to his family with him to discuss at night.

After Liu Qi thought for a while, he nodded in agreement with Guteer's expectant eyes.

…………

"Hmph, if you don't need to find an agent, why would you need such trouble..."

Recalling every word and expression of Guttel just now, as well as his clothes, Liu Qi affirmed his speculation. Guttel probably had unlucky luck in his own family, so he urgently needed the influence of an outsider Do you want to restore your position in the family, otherwise why would you beg like that?You know, the last time we met, Guttel was approachable but still full of pride in his bones.

However, Guteer's visit also met Liu Qi's wishes.

It was only after Liu Qi came back from the Dark World this time that he realized that he played the role of a peddler in the Age of Empires and the Dark World. Although the profit was high, the danger was a bit too much, not to mention hard work. .

According to the experience of those predecessors (the protagonists of various time-traveling trading novels), Liu Qi should choose to act as a wholesaler, choose spokespersons or cooperative forces in various worlds, and hand over the goods to them for processing. There is no need to blindly search for a market like a small vendor setting up a street stall.In this way, not only does Liu Qi not have to worry about how to sell the goods, but life can be much easier.Well, of course, the profit may be smaller, after all, as a spokesperson and a partner, people also have to make money.

Well, but there is still a prerequisite to achieve the above conditions.

That is Liu Qi has enough force in his hands or the strength to protect his own interests from infringement, otherwise it is not impossible to be eaten as a fat sheep.You must know that the world (real and game world) will never lack those who are not very long-term or greedy. Liu Qi does not have enough force and has enough wealth to attract people... The result is that the child is robbed like a child holding gold in the downtown area. Not to mention that even his life may be lost, Liu Qi said with deep experience—otherwise, why would he specialize in firearms.

If Liu Qi dare not mess around in the modern gun shooting world or the dark world, then Liu Qi does not pay attention to the level of force in the world of Age of Empires, even if the attempt fails. It's the head office, anyway, after discovering the functions of his laptop, Liu Qi has more choices, and this attempt may not necessarily fail, right?

"Liu, what's the matter?"

Just when Liu Qi was thinking about how to show his strength when he went to the meeting of the Tumen family that Guttel mentioned at night, he suddenly felt a bumpy female body hugging his waist from behind, and there was a call from Ni It was obvious that Nina had just come out of the house after seeing Gutel leave.

"Hehe, Nina, it's okay, it's just that someone wants to do business with me."

Liu Qi felt the soft touch on his back even through clothes and leather armor. Liu Qi, who hadn't looked for a woman for more than ten days in the dark world because of being busy and vigilant, immediately reacted, smiling sinisterly. He carried Nina, who was also emotional and watery, into the room.

...............

That night, Liu Qi, who looked refreshed, went to the Tumen family alone for an appointment, and was sent back respectfully by a carriage at midnight.Well, I won’t talk about the story and topic. Anyway, it is said that half of the guards in the Tumen family lay in bed for ten days to three months to recuperate the next day, and most of the remaining half of the guards suffered a little bit. Minor injuries and the like, and some ordinary Beira city residents living next to the Tumen family felt that they were woken up by the thunder last night, but the strange thing is that the thunder only rang a few times and then disappeared, not even a drop of rain No, it's really strange.

But the Tumen family was said to be little-known in the next few days, and it is said that a person named Guteer became the first heir of the Tumen family, which surprised the senior management of Bella City.

However, the actions of the Tumen family later made people unable to care about the surprise. After the Tumen family established Guttel's heir status, they began to recommend a special salt called snow salt to the nobles and temple priests in Bella City. High-grade salt.The appearance of this kind of salt called snow salt caused a sensation among the nobles—although the Roman city-state was on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, they had seen snow before. They had never seen this kind of salt as white as snowflakes.After tasting the pure and authentic taste of this kind of snow salt once, nobles of all sizes paid for it one after another, grabbing the 5 catties of snow salt sold by the Tumen family for 1000 gold coins per catty And empty.

However, in the face of the nobles waving gold coins, the Tumen family said that this kind of snow salt was not a product of the Roman city-state or other city-states, but was brought in from a country outside the Roman city-state, and the quantity was extremely rare. The weight of 1000 catties of snow salt is enough, and the sales will continue only when the second batch of snow salt arrives next time.

If a small businessman had such a source of income, the rest of the nobles would have arrested him and tried their best to make him speak.However, although the Tumen family is not the top wealthy family in the Roman city-state, it is also in the upper middle reaches. At least it is one of the best big families in the city of Bella. It cannot be easily shaken, and the Tumen family does not eat alone. The aristocrats with good family relationships have distributed their benefits, formed a united front, formed a price alliance, and stipulated the sphere of influence of their respective families for the sales share of this kind of snow salt.

In this way, the rest of the small and big nobles can only watch the alliance formed by the Tumen family and some other nobles and can only watch and drool.

The Tumen family is also sensible, they are only selling that kind of high-end but rare snow salt, and they have nothing to do with the coarse salt market that ordinary citizens eat.You must know that the salt market eaten by the citizens of these Roman city-states is a big piece of fat. I don’t know how many Roman nobles, big merchants and even temples have interests in it.If the Tumen family stepped in, they probably wouldn't even know how they died.

Well, of course Liu Qi’s children’s shoes didn’t know this, but Liu Qi’s children’s shoes didn’t want to become a transport coolie at the time, so they boasted that these modern iodized salts with a wholesale price of several hundred yuan per ton were extremely high-end.How many processes does this kind of snow salt require (this is true), how much it costs (this...), and the difficulty of transportation (speechless).

Anyway, after Liu Qi, who was running the train with his mouth full of words, had a cordial and friendly "exchange" of force with the heads of the Tumen family before the two sides, the heads of the Tumen family, who were hindered by Liu Qi's force, ran away after listening to Liu Qi. After talking about the train, I also feel that it makes sense to say that if there are too many good things like snow salt, it is wrong.

Pity how these Bronze Age soil turtles know the modern production capacity after three industrial revolutions. If Liu Qi has a brain twitch, he can even use modern low-priced iodized salt to salt everyone in the entire city of Beira to death.

But obviously Liu Qi didn't have that kind of plan. Even in Liu Qi's mind, iodized salt can become a high-end necessities for rich nobles, businessmen, and temple priests, but ordinary people who don't have much money in their pockets Well, it's better for your health to eat those black coarse salt, isn't it?

Liu Qi, who had become a little unruly, thought in his own mind, so the next day, he exchanged a ton of iodized salt and a dozen watches from Tumen's house for a large amount of gold, precious stones and other valuables. .

Of course, the Tumen family didn’t suffer a loss either. They purchased from Liu Qi three gold coins per catty of snow salt (true black) and one thousand gold coins per personal timer (Liu Qi’s name for the watch, this price...) They It is also profitable.As soon as the snow salt was in hand, the Tumen family sold 1000 catties for five gold coins per catty, and then the remaining half of the snow salt was divided among the allies of the Tumen family. The Tumen family regarded them as treasures, and except for a few of them used to win over allies, the rest of the watches were carefully hidden by the Tumen family, and they were not going to reveal these incredible items at all.

Well, of course, this has nothing to do with Liu Qi. After all, Liu Qi is not responsible for the after-sales of the items after sale.
