Sweet Reincarnation

Lesson 336: Merchant Miscalculation

Viscount Bombino's capital, Nairier.

A merchant came to the bustling and vibrant city.

Welcome aboard.

"We are truly grateful to Viscount Ullanta-Mille-Bombino for taking the time to speak with us."

"No, if the head of the Rosie Molt Cooperative Association, who is also fighting for 1.2 in Japan, comes himself, you are very welcome."

"I'm afraid not."

I had my subordinates packed with conditions, but the contract was finally the main agreement, and the head of the congregation himself went to the meeting.

Viscount Bombino responds directly to the visit of a domestic merchant who is more influential than a poor nobleman.

"Be nice to the Viscount Josephine-Mille-Bombino."

"It's nice to meet you, isn't it?" I'm sorry to hear about the Rosie Mort Cooperative Association. Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. "

"It seems that what is reaching your wife's ears belongs to everyone in our Chamber of Commerce." I'm proud of you. "

The court is wary of Viscount Josephine, who is married from the House of Mortelun. Of course, since it is inward, I don't forget to stick the smile of the business tools on the surface and create an atmosphere that feels like greeting in a good mood.

“My family has been taking care of Rosie Mort Cooperative for a long time.”

"Hahaha, Master Ullanta, if that's what you're saying, we're very much in favor of the Bombino family."

The business meeting that began with the public talk was a very moderate atmosphere. There is Uranta, who can be described as young, and José, who can be described as beautiful, beside him. If it wasn't for this glamorous atmosphere, I would have doubted my skills as a merchant.

A merchant loosens the scene with a clear laugh.

Is that so?

"Yes, you may not know Uranta-sama because he is still young, but when his predecessor came to the capital, he sometimes bought products from our Chamber of Commerce."

"My father... is that so?"

Ullanta's father is already dead.

As the previous Viscount Bombino, I had heard from people that there seemed to be hardship. As a traditional aristocrat since the founding of the country, I have valued the format, and I heard that even if the kitchen situation was difficult, I had never lost my hand in food, clothing, and housing.

If it was a chamber that handled jewelry in the capital, it would have dropped the gold.

Uranta nodded, and the merchant with a smile swayed her thoughts.

"Yes, I have been loving you for a long time, so I am very helpful." Oh, yes, I brought a gift with me when I came to see you today. ”

I hope you don't mind that.

"Hahaha, it's a merchant's habit. There is no one to go naked to meet the person you care for. For merchants, greetings are like clothes.”

Is that it?

A souvenir.

Quick talk is a bribe.

Since delivery from merchants is very common in noble societies, as a chamber of commerce, they bring expensive items as souvenirs, divided into necessary expenses.

"There are many people who say that it is okay to not have one, but if you accept it, we can talk calmly." Please laugh. "

"Thank you... is this a necklace?"

“Yes, we have a selection of our favorite dishes from the Chamber of Commerce.”

This is too expensive for a stone.

"No, no, please." The beauty of the Viscountess is in our ears, and we chose to choose something unparalleled. Let's be inferior to others. By all means, madam. "

It is the merchant's abhorrent handiwork that does not pass directly to Ulanta, but gives the handiwork to the wife. It was the merchant's way of fighting that was coming from a hard place to turn down.

And the thickness of the skin on the face of José, who draws the blood of the Mortelleun family, is handed over to his brother.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much for your laughter.

Without hesitation, the gift is mine.

José's uncompromising attitude surprised the coat inwardly.

In the Divine Kingdom, there is a strong tendency towards male and female inferiority compared to modern times, and women are not preferred to come forward or come forward before their husbands.

A souvenir, but an expensive piece of jewelry. If you accept something like this, you will want to listen to some impossibility.

It's hard not to take expensive things for free.

As a merchant, I know the meaning of gifts as a matter of common sense. That's why I gave you some expensive jewelry this time.

With nothing to say by the Viscount, I think this business deal is an easy one.

"So, what can I do for you this time?" You can't help but listen to the gift. ”

"Oh, thank you." The liturgy is wise and the prestigious Viscount Bombino. We have a story that we will never lose. ”

Yes.

This is the real deal.

"I wanted to talk to you again about the matter you requested earlier, so I went over today."

As for your request, you said you wanted to take back the dragon's scales.

"Left side."

When the coat wakes up, the Viscountess sits quietly beside Uranta.

Since you're playing with the necklace you just received, I'm sure you're not interested in this conversation.

How about that, can you sell it to us?

"... I thought I told you a few things about it."

"Of course, I wrote it down here." Please confirm it. "

Well, if you'll excuse me.

Ullanta shall confirm the prepared documents in triplicate. One was kept at the Viscount's house. Keep one at the merchant. The other one is kept by a third party.

The content of the document is broadly threefold.

The first is that Ullanta sells the dragon scales to the Rosie Mort Cooperative Chamber of Commerce for a certain amount of money. It is slightly higher than the amount sold in the auction, so it is said that it is according to the market price.

The second is a contract for the delivery of goods after the prepayment of the price. You pay in cash first, but you can hand it over later. The delivery date is fixed to be within one year.

And on the third, there was a sudden wording.

"Regarding the dragon scales, the Rosie Mort Cooperative Association will take all the items that our house will sell in the future..."

"Please, I don't want to ask you this."

As a person who wants to monopolize the dragon's scales, it is a word that can't be given.

I don't know how much scales will be sold this time, but if you hide them and sell them elsewhere, the monopoly will collapse. This is not going to work.

An exclusivity agreement would be natural.

I can't sell the dragon's scales anywhere else, can I?

"If we accept the second, we do not want to accept the monopoly right"

In the world, monopolies are profitable in the corner.

If only some people monopolize what is absolutely in demand and continue to distribute it, the benefits are enormous.

In ancient times, there was no shortage of examples such as the monopoly of ancient Chinese salt.

That's exactly what the Rosie Mort Cooperative is after. I don't want you to take this anyway, so I packed my coat.

Paying after handing over the goods now is an unfavorable condition for the Chamber of Commerce. One or two items that seem to the Chamber of Commerce to be "advantageous", or to add to them, would be within the scope of negotiations.

"Oh, that's good."

"José?"

The Viscountess intercepted such an exchange from the side.

"This is the one who put forward the troublesome conditions because of the dignity, right?" If you've added extra effort, you deserve to be rewarded by the Chamber of Commerce. "

That may be the case.

With unexpected cover fire, the coat smiles in my heart.

In the end, in a way that Jose forcibly pushed through, Ullanta often swallowed the contents of the contract.

Well then, let's conclude a contract.

The coat and the ullanta, which were signed by Sara-sara and Sara-sara.

Ullanta brings one contract to the royal palace.

It will be handed over to His Majesty from around the treasury notes, and it will be recorded as a top-notch official document with permission.

If you live in the Kingdom of God, it will be an unbreakable contract. The Viscount Bombino family is a traditional territorial nobility. Rather, it has political influence in Japan, and Takeshi has a solid reputation as a fugitive material.

That's all, it was important to make it an official document even as a coat. If you're concerned about that, it's the powerful who can backfire on promises made to the First Chamber.

Some of the nobles behind the Rosie Mort Cooperative Chamber will also be helped if they receive royal assent and are contracted as perfect official documents.

"It was a good deal."

"Welcome."

We shook hands and a deal was made.

But the merchant didn't notice.

At this time, the Morteln family's counter-attack had already taken place.

◇◇◇◇◇

"Hey, what the hell is going on!!"

"That's why the payment exceeded my expectations....."

"Don't be ridiculous!!"

The Great Merchant's Coat reveals the wolves.

Because the cash requested by the Bombino family began to exceed the amount they had already prepared. It is also not a half of the excess amount. It is such a huge amount that the initial budget has to be rounded off.

"It can't be!! I think I've prepared millions!!"

The amount set aside by the court for this purpose is the size of the national budget.

The Chamber of Commerce, which fights for one or two in one country, has sincerely moved, and it has teamed up with the churches in three major countries to collect the funds.

Viscount's house, including the Mortelun family. No matter how many Dalong materials I sold and earned, it was like a castle without reinforcements.

Of course, I didn't mean to underestimate the Mortelun family. In the unlikely event that they should fail, they would have raised money by preparing a million troops for the castle that would be built in a few hundred years.

But somehow the ambush was unexpected. The Bombino family is in need of a buyout.

"The number of buying and selling scales is obviously higher than the number sold in the auction!!"

Yes, there is a reason why the coat is screaming.

The number of scales that the Bombino family says they will hand over in the future is clearly too great.

... as if they were "selling something they don't have."

"What should I do, what should I do!!"

A formal contract, even with royal approval. In retaliation, the royal family will be the enemy.

The Bombino family has promised to sell it. The contract has already been fulfilled, so if you don't pay the price, the contract will be defaulted. Even if it is obviously a strange number, there is no way to blame it on the court.

Looks like you're in trouble.

"Oh, priests, I just wanted to talk to you."

A priest of the Episcopal Conference came to the troubled court.

The court, which was struggling with money, greets the priest with a warm welcome.

“Actually, we're going to take a step back from this.”

"What? What now?"

"You've done this on your own." We didn't know anything. That's what happened. ”

"Don't be silly, come here and betray me!! If I could get through here a little bit, I could get a lot of money!!"

"... you haven't noticed yet?" You were eaten by Morteln. "

“How's it going?

A coat that falls in love with you.

"Morteln will contact me soon after this." You can buy the dragon's scales at half the price... "

Huh?

In the priest's words, it was a chunky coat, but eventually I understood the meaning of the priest's words.

The Bombino and Mortelun families were intimately connected. Then, I put a "hole" in the contract and filled my coat.

The Bombino family can borrow scales from the Mortelun family. Sell it as much as you like at the current "high price". It's the coat that pays in cash.

Sell it to Gunnar. Eventually, it will exceed his ability to pay for the coat. But what if the Bombino family tried to sell the scales? The coat will be forced to make a harsh choice.

In other words, the assets in hand. Sell the dragon scales to make gold. It's going bankrupt. There is a limit to further monetary measures, beyond the fact that they have already reached their limit.

If you were to sell the dragon's scales, you would be bought. Even if it wasn't, it was the coat that instigated the drop.

What would happen if the Mortelun family bought the reduced value scales from the Bombino family?

If the price drops, I can hand over the scales I bought a year later. The price is already high, so it makes a lot of money.

I don't have anything to say. The scales of the coat are bought at the lowest price, and the coat is sold at the highest price.

I just noticed it now, and it's a later festival.

"Damn it!!"

On this day, the name of the court was recorded as a man who had suffered a historic loss and bankruptcy due to a loss in the size of the national budget.
