Godly shop's cheat fragrance

Episode 24: The Most Powerful Merchants and Nobles

I was walking alone that day.

I'm on my way home after a big business meeting.

The trade talks are essentially conducted in the building of the Veriero Chamber of Commerce, but sometimes they are called out with no choice when it comes to large deals.

Most of them are aristocratic or luxurious.

Those are the people who take it for granted that their opponents are coming to their mansion. You can ignore it, but only if the number of lots you want is high, I'm going to ask directly.

I have another aim (...), but I don't really expect you there.

Today's dealer was noble.

There are circumstances where a lord who is usually in his territory came all the way to the Imperial Capital, and I came directly to negotiate with him.

Most nobles have separate houses in the royal capital.

As a matter of fact, there are now more business talks with the nobles. The reason is simple, because they are not a member of a commercial guild.

Chelina and Agai taught that the majority of nobles have merchants in their arms, so if they need anything, it is customary to ask that merchant.

Nobles buy "Japanese paper" and "clothes" all the time.

What you wanted this time was Japanese paper.

I don't necessarily say it sounds great because I'm noble. Fortunately, the guy I'm dealing with today was a pretty good talker.

He was a young aristocrat about forty years old, and he might have been more flexible in his thinking.

"Hmm. This Japanese paper is still wonderful"

"Yes, it's a special piece of paper that can only be created for my Veriero Chamber of Commerce, with the help of an elf."

"But even with the deal of 100,000 sheets, you don't give a discount?

"No, simply quoting the discount, the unit price of 10,000 or more is very cheap."

"Mmm..."

What the aristocrats have been glittering about since earlier is the A3 size Japanese paper they are making.

Elf technology was also in, thinner and more robust.

Thanks to this, printers can be printed and flyers can be printed in bulk.

A3 Japanese paper (same material and size as this flyer)

100 to 299 pieces = 500 yen per unit price

300 to 499 pieces = 400 yen per unit price

500 to 999 sheets = 300 yen per unit price

1000 to 9999 sheets = 200 yen per unit price

10,000 or more = 170 yen per unit

It is this part that the aristocracy has re-read over and over again.

The unit price of 500 yen for a small lot is 170 yen. It would be too much discount.

In fact, the unit price of Japanese paper made at Tessa's Japanese paper workshop is about 70-100 yen. There can be no further discount.

At the new Japanese paper workshop in Tessa, the technical instruction of the elves and the knowledge of the entire book of Japanese paper production had led to a significant improvement in production capacity.

Not only that, but I could have said that I hired a large number of craftsmen and am currently leaning all my forces towards making Japanese paper at the Veriero Chamber of Commerce in Tessa.

Thanks to Juliena, Chelina's mother, the logistics that went through the shift room were also well constructed, with a large quantity of Japanese paper being brought into Atlandia every day.

I don't have enough Japanese paper to buy or not.

Of course, it was possible to purchase as much in bulk as possible with SHOP, but was committed to selling the products produced wherever possible, both in the sense of securing logistics and in the sense of turning Tessa's economy around.

However, since I have also decided not to weigh myself down on the use of SHOP, I have decided not to hesitate to use it in the case of noble opponents like this one.

"I can't get any more discounts... right. It's a massive deal in the corner. So what do you say we give you a preferential arrival date?

"What?"

"We currently have around ten days to hand over Japanese paper, but let's go through the process so that we can hand it over even tomorrow to a special (...)"

"Tomorrow? Is that true?

"Yes. It's really special though. If this condition does not allow you to drink… we will reject the transaction itself"

"That's not good! Now to the merchants...... hon.! Nothing!

It's all about the nobles slipping their mouths.

In other words, the chambers of commerce and merchants belonging to the commercial guild are not able to trade with the Chamber of Commerce of Veriero on their own initiative.

As for this one, I won't refuse to come, but Alberto of the Alavant Chamber of Commerce will look at me.

So they looked at the other nobleman.

You sneak up on the merchandise that the nobles have bought you, and you transport Alberto out of the country out of sight to do business.

If you're in another country, you don't have to worry about Atlandia's commercial alliance.

Whether it's from nobility, just flushing things from right to left makes it gold, or from merchants, it's Win-Win because they don't complain about commercial guilds.

Especially when it comes to Japanese paper, not only exports, but each chamber of commerce craves quite a lot.

The reason is simple, and I want to write down all the ledgers that used wooden boards on Japanese paper until then.

Parchment also exists, but the unit price is too high to be a very good thing to use for the ledger.

It would be a natural story because you would need one animal for a large piece of parchment.

Even in comparison, the Japanese paper was fascinating. Thin, light, supple and durable.

Vulnerable to fire, but that's the same for wooden planks. The ledger is strictly forbidden to fire.

"Okay. That's good. But..."

The aristocrats turn again to the flyer price list.

"It's troubling to publish the price without covering it up."

"It's a matter of getting used to it. Without wasted discount negotiations, there will be no more days to worry that you may be losing money compared to other merchants"

"Nevertheless, I really didn't think you'd give me any discount"

"I repeat, we have a full eye for discounts"

"Oh, right. It was."

Thus, the business meeting of the day came together without being able to rub it.

He was a talkative guy for a nobleman, so I was pretty happy when I left one of my pet bottled elf wines as a souvenir.

When I was a great nobleman or luxury, I didn't give it to you.

Sometimes business dealings with people like that don't work themselves out.

However, they're also hiring sneakers to buy them at the Veriero Chamber of Commerce later on. I'm not even investigating it in detail, but it seems like that's the story that comes into Aggai's ear.

We'll negotiate, but the price won't change. As for this one, whoever the other person is, the deal will be as much as it takes.

On the contrary, to that level, it would be proof that our goods are eating into this country.

It's a good trend.

I finished my business like that, so I was going home alone.

Sometimes referred to as a separate residence of nobility, it was quite far from the city centre.

Just as the sun sets, prayers can be heard from all over the city.

As I have become accustomed lately, the inhabitants who worship the sun god Heoris pray at sunrise, pray at lunch, and pray at sunset. There is only the boulder religion.

At the end of the sunset prayer, the city regains its serenity once and for all.

This city is alive with the sun.

Of course, there are night shops, but they are not as busy as other countries.

Walking down a quiet alley blocked my path as dozens of men slipped.

Everyone weaves dark colored robes with sharp eyes.

I can understand that right now, they're all pretty fluctuating.

The atmosphere is unusual.

If this is just a theft, it's a disappointment.

The men, without any warning, came under attack.

It's a trained move, working in tandem.

I wasn't expecting much, but did I hit my aim (...)?
