The third journey
The third journey
"We are affected by the fish in the pond. le♠ le" Ajin replied.
"The disaster of fish in the pond?"
"There is no way to do it on the road, only when the car stops. The cut is very fresh, and time is definitely only today. But at lunch, there are people coming and going at the entrance of the restaurant. It is impossible to secretly destroy the wheels with sharp weapons. So the only time is today... when the two guys got out of the car. I think it was the two guys. At that time, we were in the car and the driver was in the driver's seat, and they slowly carried the luggage. If they took the opportunity to secretly destroy the wheels, we wouldn't be able to notice it."
“It is indeed very likely…”
"Apart from that, they both pretended not to know each other on the surface, but actually got off at the same place. They should be in the same group."
"I feel so, too."
"But their goal should not be targeting us. Otherwise, it would be impossible to choose such a close distance. The correct way is to let us walk east for another day or two... to a better area with worse security. The security in this area is still very good, not a good place to do it. Besides, when we go to Eagle Falcon City, there is still a long road, so there is no need to be so anxious to do it. In the end, the luggage of the two people was real luggage, not to be put together at will. However, they could not have made a prank because of boredom... So the biggest possibility is the disaster. Their goal is not us, but we happened to encounter it."
Ash Rufate had a great change in Ajin's vision. Although Ajin looks vulgar and has a thick-skinned face, he seems to have a good mind and really has the capital to establish a branch alone in a strange place. In fact, if you think about it carefully, although this person dresses vulgarly and shows off his wealth, he is just dressed vulgarly and shows off his wealth.
"Why do they do this?" Ashu Rufat felt a little strange. What impact would the wheels be destroyed? Well, basically, it has no effect on this journey. According to the route arrangement, at dusk today, the mail bus will arrive at a small town and then change the car. In other words, this small damage will probably make them reach the small town very late today... but it will not have any impact on tomorrow's journey.
"If you can't guess, don't guess it." A Jin touched his head with his hand, and a proud smile appeared on his fat face. "The most important thing is... hehehehe... because of this accident, we can file a claim! At that time, they will have to refund at least half of the car fee to us!"
A Jin smiled and his mouth was grinning at the ears. "Look at how good our luck is! You only need to take a long walk to save a lot of money! Haha..."
In such a long time, Ashu Rufate has met a real businessman. In fact, many businessmen choose this profession not because they love doing business much, but because they are purely for money or have no better choice. But Ajin is a real and purest businessman. Ashu Rufate can see that Ajin is indeed very rich. In terms of cost, he does not need to take a mail bus for a long trip (it can be seen from his ordering at noon), but he just wants to do this. Ajin actually also
He was not disgusted with walking on the ground for a short period of time, but he just wanted to take this opportunity to make a big claim. In other words, the reason why he made money and saved money was not because of objective conditions, but because every time he made a fortune and saved the next expense, he could make Ajin happy. This was like a group of soldiers who won a battle without any special value. Although from a macro perspective, this battle may be worthless, it still made the soldiers highly motivated and happy.
In other words, from the perspective of a businessman, Ajin is probably the most powerful. If one day Ajin and Axiu Rufate compete in the shopping mall due to fate, Axiu Rufate feels that he has no chance of winning. Because Ajin does not make money for money, but because making money is his pleasure and his goal in life. Such people must have incredibly keen intuition and judgment in business. With instinct, they can find opportunities that others cannot notice, and they can cultivate rich experience at a young age.
Seeing Ajinxi unable to help but walk while calculating the amount of the claim, Axi Rufat couldn't help but say, "Ajin, I will definitely not dare to do business with you in the future."
"What are you talking about?" Ajin happily patted Ash Rufate on the back with his fat hand. "You haven't seen my gorgeous price-preserving skills yet. Don't worry, if it's a friend, I will give you a 20% discount for the rest of my life!"
"What if it's not a friend?"
"Hehe, of course, I will give you a 30% increase in price for the rest of my life!"
...
Postal bus trips are usually divided into two types. One is to pack a car from beginning to end and go directly to the end, which is the choice of most medium and short-distance travelers. However, for long-distance travelers, this method is not advisable. The normal approach is to change cars in sections, breaking the entire journey into sections, and changing different means of transportation for each section.
The next journey is very peaceful. Every day, I just sit in the car and read books or go in a daze. Only when I arrive in a larger city can I have a small amount of leisure to go out for a walk.
"Two gentlemen, this is Cardin, our second-last stop." The coachman introduced. "If you want to take a walk, you have to take advantage of the moment."
Ashu Rufate and Akin were walking side by side on the street. This is the market in Cardin City. This city called Cardin is already the last stop on their eastbound journey. At this time tomorrow, they will arrive at their destination - Groone's Royal City, Eagle City.
The market is quite prosperous, with people coming and going. After so long time of getting along and getting to know each other, Ashu Rufate had to admit that Ajin was unique in all aspects except for appearance. For example, shopping. In fact, Ashu Rufate didn't want to buy anything, just took a look. But he immediately realized that Ajin's purchasing method was different from himself - he always carefully observed the quality and details of the goods, and looked for flaws to judge the price, while Ajin only spent half of his time looking at the goods, and the other half was spent observing the owner.
"Ajin, why don't you look at the things carefully and stare at that person for what?" Ashu Rufate asked secretly.
"Hehe, you don't understand, this is the essence of price cuts." A Jin replied. "You have to see if the goods owner is honest or treacherous, so that the price cuts can be confident."
"There is an old saying that doesn't mean: Does appearance have nothing to do with character?"
"That's just a word for people without vision to deceive themselves."
"You can see it right? I mean, you have never encountered anyone you can't see it right?"
"I've met. But I won't waste any time on such people." A Jin looked proud. "When I meet such people, of course I will leave immediately and find those who can see it."
Ash Rufate is really completely convinced now. Ajin is a completely unparalleled genius. In the field he is good at, there is probably no one who can compare with him. The legendary wilderness sage Garunas is probably this type of person, but Ajin is good at commercial transactions, while Garunas specializes in politics and military.
"One day we will arrive at Eagle City." Ashu Rufate said unintentionally.
"Haha, that's right." Ajin said happily. "By the way, you said you found a position in the city..."
"Yes, that's right." Ashu Rufat kept his mouth calm, but his heart tightened slightly. Speaking of which, this is the first time Ajin has asked this question so far.
"Can you tell me what your annual salary is?" Ajin asked. "Ah, Ashu Rufat, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing." Ashu Rufate controlled his balance the moment he almost fell down. Sure enough, he was too worried. People like Ajin were definitely not pretending to be disguised. "Actually, I don't know the annual salary."
"Don't you know the annual salary?" This time, it was Ajin's turn to be amazed. "Ashu Rufat, shouldn't it... the position you entrusted to an acquaintance to help you find?"
"Ah, that's it."
"It's over, you're cheated." A Jin covered his forehead with his hands and made a helpless and sympathetic expression. "Ninety-nine percent are positions that look quite face-saving, but they are really not a big deal. The annual salary is also scary. It's completely useless. It looks pretty good, but in fact it's just a cheating deal. It's a pity to turn around and leave, but there will definitely be no future if you continue to do it!"
"Ah, is there anything that bad?"
"I'll do better than this one," said Ajin. "But I'll get you a discounted ticket to your home."
It really looks like what Ajin would say.
They continued to move forward. Although the city was large and there were a lot of goods in the market, it made Ashu Rufate feel a little decayed and depressed. In terms of vitality, it was not as good as a small city like Brassian.
"A Jin, since this place is so close to the royal city, why do people feel weak?"
"This is still a question, of course it's taxes." Ajin looked at him with an idiot and replied. "Have you ever counted this? In the past three years, our domestic tax revenue has increased by 70%.
"Ah." Ashu Ruffat remembered the petition of a large number of people in Brasian city surrounded the Governor's Office. "Why do you need to add so much tax?"
"Of course it's because of internal and external difficulties." Akin had no sense of Groney's national consciousness at all (of course, from the perspective of merchants, this may be a virtue, or perhaps). "It is mainly to strengthen the military and establish a line of defense in the northeast to block the invasion of the barbarians."
"Why?"
"Of course it's to prevent them from invading again. Since the fall of White Fort, many things have become different. Military spending can be said to have risen sharply...at least on the surface."
"On the surface?" Ashu Rufat immediately noticed something in this sentence.
"Of course, I don't care much about this, but I also vaguely heard... Ashu Rufat, you said that if there was a chamber of commerce, the diligent and responsible president died for some reason, and then came up with an acting president who wanted to make money in private all day long, what would happen?"
"It will probably become chaotic and the profits of the Chamber of Commerce will drop directly?"
"Not that." Ajin replied. "No matter how profitable a business can't withstand such tossing."
