Helping with Adventurer Party Management

The remaining six of the raiders also ended up letting them escape to the gallon.

I don't have the money anyway, so I can't pay the ransom.

I don't have an ID Guarantor, so I can't even get him to work where he deals with valuables.

They're rude people, so I can't even introduce them to people.

If it's out of the way, the gallon will erase it.

A week later, in front of the offices of the Sword Tooth Corps, there were about two dozen representatives of the Intercity Merchant gathered.

Each merchant said that only one representative would come, so the number of merchants in the city would remain the same.

More than I thought.

"Is there a man named Gallon!

That's what I called for, the men were face-to-face, but one of them responded.

"If it's a gallon, I left town the other day."

"Right."

Apparently he chose to escape rather than take responsibility and make a deal.

I don't mind because I can't make a deal with a guy like that.

However, the thought arose that those raiders would have been wiped out.

Switch your head and speak aloud to the city merchants.

"I'm going to explain the guardian shoe deal!

Intercity merchants are both adventurers and adventurers. You can't be licked.

"This quota shall be used for trading in shoes of guardianship. The quota has a number and hands over the shoes in the younger order of the number. Guarantees a 100 foot deal in one piece!

That's what I said. Shows jewelry made of metal.

"This time we'll do a 1000 foot deal. In other words, the auction of 10 rights to a 100-legged transaction will be held sequentially. The lowest price starts with five large copper coins per pair of guardian shoes. Any questions so far?

A big man with a scratch on his cheek, raises his hand and asks.

"You don't mind if I buy 1,000 pairs of 10 for 100 pairs?

"Good question."

I respond to men and look around.

"This time I want only 100 pairs per person. Because I want many merchants to have trading opportunities. I would also like to prevent certain merchants who have bought up shoes from unduly hoisting the price of guardian shoes. I want you to understand that."

With that said, many interstate merchants nodded. From them, it's a golden egg that we've never been able to handle while based in this city. There can't be any complaints.

But there are exceptions everywhere. Whether the skin of greed is sticking or, for now, the skill of negotiations to assert and elicit the compromise of the other party, leaks dissatisfaction and shows it.

"But hey, it's not a big profit to have 100 feet. At your place, you handle a lot of guardian shoes. I'm buying more! That would be easier for you, wouldn't it?

But I'm assuming that's what I said. When I snort, I keep explaining.

"Especially the request to handle more than 100 legs. But I also want you to understand from us that you cannot tell who of you is the most certain and quick merchant to be entrusted with transportation. So I'm going to expand the handling frame according to your track record. This time they are all 100 legs on the horizontal line, but next time those who have successfully finished the deal will pull up to 200 legs. If you build up your track record, you pull up the frame more than that. That's how I want you to build up your credibility."

In short, it introduces a mechanism for judging trust by transaction performance.

Boasting loud noises, large numbers of armed men, and fine carriages. I don't appreciate the outside side to give you confidence to be one of those former adventurers.

It is a combination of risk diversification and counterparty evaluation that divides a one-time trading framework into smaller pieces, and develops a trading framework with merchants whose performance can be tipped off to make them key business partners, so as to develop a serious distributor-in-city merchant.

"Except! I don't allow resale of trading frames. Nor does it approve of collusion. Others shall also be excluded from the auction in the event of fraud"

The auction mechanism itself seemed to be popular in this world, so the city merchants could understand it, but they are unfamiliar with the method of expanding the trading framework according to their track record, twisting their necks.

What guarantees credibility in this world is blood muscle, identity, money and the arm of the sword.

Of course, I guess gold lending and merchants all over the city have a mechanism for secretly evaluating performance, but I guess I've never been told to only evaluate performance openly in this way.

Well, if you start operating, you'll see.

"Then we'll start the auction"

Declaring so, the Intercity Merchants began to write the price of the bid as Noronoro on the broken board that was given to them.
