Chapter 209: Victory Dinner (4)
"President Krampus, can you please listen to my request for help?"
"Just call me Muriel, Your Highness Ye Kai."
He explains the limits of the popularity of the reverse bracelet and the current situation at the Baden Chamber of Commerce.
“Due to the nature of the goods, we can only entrust the production and sales to trustworthy people. Mr. Oli, can you help me?”
"Oh, do you trust me when you just met me for the first time? Do you think I will use your daughter to put pressure on you, so you dare not act rashly?"
"Father!" Ira complained, but he seemed to ignore it. At this time, people can feel the difference between the roles.
"You may find it a little strange. Let me explain. For a long time, a royal merchant like you has been a pawn for your daughter to connect with others, right? But you can see the potential of your daughter, give her a proper education, and even let her participate in the management of the Chamber of Commerce. This attitude of considering her wishes and giving her the necessary support is enough to prove that you are a trustworthy person. You can believe me, right?"
Ye Kai's eyes did not leave him. For the other party, this kind of pressure must be unbearable.
“That’s a bit harsh.”
“Same here.”
"I gradually understand why your majesty attaches so much importance to your words. You are not just an ordinary warrior." Muriel's eyes became as sharp as those towards her business rivals.
--------------
Albert and Muriel had a long history of dealing, starting when he was still the crown prince.
As a result, the relationship naturally became closer, and they gradually got to know each other. Of course, Muriel would remain silent and would not easily reveal the secrets that could not be spoken.
Although they have a close relationship, Albert said that there is a secret about the magic boxer that cannot be revealed. Even if he tells Muriel, he will never tell her the details. Facing this mysterious person, Muriel finds the transaction with him more and more interesting.
"Can I hear Muriel's thoughts on the reverse bracelet?"
"Sure. Well, generally speaking, this will become an indispensable item in the future, right?"
Muriel and Ye Kai share the same view that trade will increase significantly in the future, especially between Holzlein and Phrygia.
It will grow rapidly, not slowly, because of demand. Then the chronic shortage of traders will become a problem. There will be a shortage of both merchants who can trade across borders and people who can move goods across borders.
As transporters of goods, it is conceivable that the reverse bracelet will make up for the shortage of "warehouse holders".
“I had thought we would have to rely on the traditional horse-drawn team to make up for the shortage of ‘warehouse holders’. But when I got the information about the reverse bracelet, I clapped my hands with joy. It was a big welcome.”
However, as a trader, simply shipping goods that are likely to sell well does not mean that you will make money. Once the shipped goods are sold, you must arrange for the return shipment.
Traders must alternate between buying and selling goods that can be sold at the trading location and goods that can be sold in their home country. This is a process that requires keen intuition and experience.
Furthermore, it is necessary to carefully select products that can be purchased cheaply at a certain period of time and are expected to be sold at a high price.
“As a trader, intuition and experience are equally important. This is not something that can be developed overnight. However, some people develop this intuition and experience naturally.”
Muriel said, pointing to the "warehouse holder" who was partnered with the trader.
Although they are the transporters of commodities, they are the ones who are closest to the working methods of traders. They learn the skills of trading imperceptibly and remember the popular commodities at that moment.
Many of them dream of becoming traders and traveling around to earn profits. However, in reality, they are "warehouse holders" and are indispensable to traders. No matter what the contract is, they will not let go easily.
In any case, they believe that they cannot escape the identity of “walking warehouses”, and many of them have given up their dreams.
It is said that Muriel sincerely hoped that these people would stand out, and that those who offered him help would receive some benefit. They felt it was a favor and would certainly not hesitate to seek him as a supplier.
If it is profitable, they will buy more from him. Although the circulation efficiency of the Chamber of Commerce will be temporarily reduced and some transactions will fail, as long as they are rehired and start over, everything will be fine.
Eventually, wealth will gather around Muriel. Where there is loss, there is gain. He adheres to the iron law of businessmen to maintain his current position.
“So if there is a reversal bracelet, many people will be able to pursue their dreams. Although not everyone will succeed, I expect that more traders will be able to support the trading volume.”
Ye Kai admired Muriel's profound insights and felt that he could not go wrong if he worked with Albert to lead Holzlein's economy.
"Please. Can you assist in the manufacture and sale of the reverse bracelets and help promote them?" Ye Kai bowed deeply and asked Muriel.
“If you really want to promote it, shouldn’t you cooperate with the business associations?”
“I am not popular in the business guild because I can easily break the existing system. I am the natural enemy of those who are conservative and unwilling to give up their vested interests.”
"I can't deny it." Muriel couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"They are even dissatisfied with me for not giving up the rights to the magic reserve and the monomer coating. It is very likely that they will not really consider cooperating with me. In addition, I think the current situation requires not only economic logic, but also a higher level of control. No matter what others say, staying close to the kingdom is more beneficial to the development of things, isn't it?"
"I see. Then I am more suitable to be your Majesty's royal merchant?"
"Indeed. There are a few choices. But I hope this encounter, introduced by your daughter, is not a mistake."
"Representative..." Ira was deeply moved and her heart was full of expectations.
"If that's the case, it would be unworthy of a businessman to back down. I understand. I'll accept it. Let's pursue together the rich and kind future you desire."
“Please take care of me.”
Muriel and Ye Kai shook hands tightly.
“Please come to my shop next time. I have something to discuss with you.”
"welcome."
"Please, Mr. Kraps. I'm very busy at the moment and my head is about to explode. I can't deal with these troublesome guests." The familiar president showed an obviously bitter expression.
“You are so harsh, Mr. Ollie. Aren’t we family?”
“My life plans have gone haywire since I met you. I want to retire once I have accumulated enough wealth.”
That was the problem. Ollie, already tied to Klein, was in a situation he couldn't extricate himself from.
"You will be repaid for your favor, Cham."
“Because you caused too much trouble.”
“Oh? Alone?”
