Price of Management

Before complex judgments calmed down, I had to meet one person. It was the Egyptian Merchant Guild.

“Greetings, Baron Carroc Kunt! ”

The eggs were young men in their mid-20s. My skin was burnt brown because I was overwhelmed and sunny. It seemed healthy and active.

“Good to see you. Have a seat. ”

“Yes, thank you. ”

The egg seemed very polite to me because of the urgency.

Our meeting place was Max's resting place, which had been around for a long time.

“Oops, Baron! Good morning."

Max sprints to you with a happy face.

“It's been a long time. It's a shame no one's been drinking and making noises all night, huh? You don't have to worry anymore. ”

“Huff! Please, the drinks are only until 12: 00 at night..." ”

“Haha, I'm kidding. Beer and chicken stew. Lots and lots of vegetables. ”

“Yep! You? ”

Max asks the Eggs.

“Give me the same. ”

“Yay!”

Max ran to the kitchen as soon as he got the order. I immediately had two refreshing beers.

Having a beer, I talked to the egg.

“I heard you had an unfortunate day at the Horn Empire. ”

“Yes. The nomads robbed me of everything except my life. They were really fast. He ran like the wind and aimed his bow, surrounded in an instant. I didn't even dare to fight the mercenaries I hired. I don't blame the mercenaries. They would have been wiped out as soon as they resisted. ”

“It was a wise decision. The power of the Nomads of the Horn Empire is notorious. It was a nation that once swayed the continent along the Great Duke of Bezalius. ”

“Yes. But I had to deliver the entire wagon at that time, leaving only a little food, some water, and a little body. And he said," Good luck. "Hahaha. Yes, I've been to the Horn Empire a lot. I was really lucky. Usually it's hard to convince people to surrender, so they just kill them and watch. ”

“It's such a dangerous country, why did you travel mainly to the Horn Empire? ”

“You know, there's an opportunity where everyone's reluctant. You bought wheat when no one was trying to buy wheat. And then there was the great famine, and he made a lot of money. ”

I knew the future.

The egg continued to say.

“The ascent I tried this time was in a similar context. I was also involved in the grain business because I used to admire the baron's amazing success. ”

“Grain?”

I frowned.

Last year's Great Famine, last year's Black Plague, led to a huge food crisis, and landlords have risked their lives in agriculture this year. As a result, the continental opposite of which grains are over-produced occurred.

All the merchants who had not anticipated it and spent money in advance to acquire the food were ruined.

The egg looked at me like that and smiled and said.

“I know. This year's grain flooded and the market fell to the ground. But I thought the opposite was true. ”

“On the contrary?”

“Everyone wanted to get rid of rotting grain without selling it without stockpiling it. I planned to buy it and sell it to the Horn Empire. ”

“Hooh, the Horn Empire still has a shortage of food, so you'd think you could make a lot of money risking it. ”

“That's it. ”

Soon after, Max brought two chicken stews. I felt better because it smelled good. I knew Max's wife was a good cook.

“I think the Horn Empire really was a land of opportunity. The security is a mess, so it's more expensive than the rest of the world. A country with the courage to take risks and a trustworthy trader, the market price difference is easy to see. ”

“Well, I agree. It's just that neither one is easy to get. ”

In the Horn Empire, it is unusual for an opponent to turn into a brigands and plunder their goods.

That's why the merchants were reluctant to leave the Horn Empire even though they knew it was a land of opportunity.

Hiring mercenaries won't help you if you encounter a real threat.

Nomads!

What good are mercenary brawlers in front of a horrific battle group that rides like a storm and shoots arrows?

At a minimum, safety is not guaranteed unless Export is accompanied.

“It's amazing you've been traveling back and forth from time to time. I hope the staff at your top has the guts to do the same. ”

“Of course!”

The egg said excitedly.

“Our top associates are brave and loyal. They knew it was dangerous, but they followed me around all the time. However, I met the merchant in the wrong way, and it was forced to be sold into slavery by the debtors. ”

Scary debtors, even the mercenaries at the Merchant Guild took care of everything.

“Too bad. Such bold and loyal employees are hard to come by. ”

“That's what I'm talking about! ”

The egg looked at me with a sad face.

“Baron! Please save us. They are a waste to be sold as slaves! If you would like to acquire our merchant guild, I will work with all my heart. I never lost a single thing until I failed you. I will bring a great deal of profit to the baron! 6,000 Redinas would be a great waste. ”

I already liked the eggs.

It is superior and courageous. It's his handiwork I've heard of in my past life.

“A little more appealing. ”

“I have several vendors in the Horn Empire. We have several tribes and familiarity with the nomadic people. That's why I've been able to enter the Horn Empire from time to time. ”

“Hoho?”

“The baron's interest in my merchant guild is probably because he's interested in entering the Horn Empire. So you've had a great opportunity. I assure you, it is much more advantageous to lead us after you have acquired our merchant guild than to headline on the bare ground. ”

I smiled.

There seemed to be faith in the insistence of the disturbance.

“One more question. I'm trying to export a large quantity to the Horn Empire. What do you think we need? ”

“We need at least one Expert to come. The current Horn Empire is too dangerous. The nomadic race leaps like a loosened calf. I've been robbed of everything that I know, so I'm done talking. ”

Extra error…….

Perfect timing. This is your chance to give Patrick Condol a great experience.

Otherwise, I had to prepare for the war against the nomads.

It was because there must have been nomads under King Kars' command when he began conquest of the continent.

I smiled and reached out to the egg.

And I said to the curious egg,

“What are you doing? Let's shake hands. ”

“Ah! Thank you! ”

The egg grabbed my hand with both hands and thanked me again and again.

It must have been a lifeline right before he fell into the abyss of despair.

But I was also very lucky to acquire the Egyptian Merchant Guild.

When I heard the story, the export to the Horn Empire was not as great as I thought.

If an experience like the egg led me, I would be the one to welcome you with a pair of eyes.

Do you think 6,000 Redinas will be the section when you get the right talent?

“Now all the employees of the Yuan Merchant Guild, including you, have become my people. From now on, you'll have to act as the Caroc Merchants Guild. ”

“Yes! Leave it to me. I will never forget this grace. ”

“You can't work to repay the favor. ”

“Yes?”

“For everyone's success. If I make money, you make money. I'll make sure you get what you deserve. I'm a very big man to my people, so trust me. ”

“Old! The staff will be happy to see the baron and finally meet a great merchant. ”

“Hahaha!”

We laughed joyfully.

As the acquisition of the Egg Guild was determined, we decided to discuss business.

“We've secured 20,000 Radinarch rations and supplies for export to the Horn Empire. ”

“20,000 Radinaires? ”

The egg looks surprised.

“What do you think? Do you have the ability to digest this much? ”

It was a luxury item for nobles like precious metals. If the food and supplies of ordinary people were 20,000 radians, it was a very large quantity.

If you don't have a lot of vendors, things will have to rot in storage.

The egg nods.

“You sound disappointed. I'm confident about twice that. Leave it to me."

“And more importantly, import horses and bows from the Horn Empire. ”

“Horses and bows? ”

“Yes."

“Then we should make a deal with the nomads. As I said, they're dangerous. ”

“I'll put you in charge of escorting Oregon. ”

I was going to accompany Patrick Condol.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes.”

“Yes, I understand. ”

At the end of the story, we stood up.

“First thing we have to do is let the staff go, right? Who's the loan shark with the staff? ”

“This is Mr Houdini. ”

“…… eek? ”

The son of Houdini is Arthur's father-in-law, Leyra's father.

The vain man who controls the nation's largest grain cellar and loves collecting monster stuffed animals.

Now I remember.

The lesson of the Houdini writer was' calculations are clear ’!

Obviously, he was a very thorough man. When I was my father-in-law or Arthur's father-in-law.

“He must have thought about inventory when the price of wheat hit the floor. ”

“Yes. That's why you agreed to my proposal. This is how it turned out. ”

I tapped the shoulder of the egg.

“Don't worry. I'll send a letter to Duke Houdini. ”

No one else, and with one letter from me, I will release the Yuan Merchants Guild staff immediately.
