Chapter 70 Business
"Don't tell me what kind of elves are not profitable, or the high-risk slave trade, or the like." Asu Rufate asked suspiciously.
"Of course not, Ashu Rufate, I finally found my opportunity today." Ajin drank the drink in one sip and patted his chest hard, looking as if he was so arrogant. "A real good opportunity."
"What kind of good opportunity?" This time the question was not Ashu Ruffat, but Rhodeya. To be honest, it is not common for Ajin to look so happy and proud.
Few men are willing to reject the request of a beautiful woman, even Ajin is no exception.
"It's like that, Ashu Rufat, Ms. Rotia, you should know... In recent years, the church has been working hard to raise funds. It is said that it is mainly to restore the temple of Oren, which was destroyed by green skins... and to cultivate new people. Oh, I don't know if that is true, but at least they have always claimed that." Ajin said. "But the church's means of raising money... one of them is to sell a large number of magical products."
"Hurry up and talk about the key points, Ajin." Ashu Rufat reminded.
"It's actually very simple. In recent years, magic communication has been used more and more frequently, especially in commercial trade. But after all, there are too few magicians, so usually, everyone uses messenger scrolls instead. Most of the messenger scrolls are made by the church. But the church... is not easy to deal with, so people don't realize that there is a huge business opportunity."
"Ah, you mean..." Ashu Rufat immediately understood Ajin's thoughts.
"That's right. After I realized that this was a huge business opportunity, I immediately went to the door to find the respected high priest of Eagle City today. Haha, I didn't expect the negotiation to be completed in an instant! I bought all the communication scrolls made by the entire Groney domestic church and the priority right for the next three years... Hehe, at a very favorable price... and this cooperation will be further deepened. Soon, I will serve as an agent of the entire church in this regard, in the entire human world..."
"Wait, Ajin... are you planning to hoard goods?"
"Hi, Ashu Rufate, what did you say? I just let a commodity that has been seriously underestimated value return to its original value." Ajin's face was no shame. "Ahu Rufate and Ms. Rotia, tell you, this is a good deal that has made no profits. Groney is about to see a turmoil... Once the turmoil occurs, the importance of intelligence is self-evident. At that time, anyone must come from my hands..."
"Wait, Ajin, what did you say, the turmoil happened?" Ashu Rufat interrupted Ajin's proud declaration.
"Don't you know? Ashu Rufat, last night, General Paul of the Guards died of illness... Although he claimed that, it is said that he was poisoned by some kind of poison... Haha, now, the buffer between the two major forces is gone... With the command of the Guards as the focus, a battle of dragons and tigers will be staged. The spies on both sides must go back and forth. Once civil strife, the communication within the Chamber of Commerce must be carried out through magic communication... Hehe... countless messenger scrolls will be consumed... I will get rich at that time..."
"Wait, Ajin, have you not considered... what if this turmoil did not happen, then what should you do?" This time, Rotia asked again. Ashu Rufate was silent, but Ajin was in full swing at this time, so he didn't notice the change in Ashu Rufate's expression.
"Anla!" Ajin replied. "Originally, the number of messaging scrolls consumed by major chambers of commerce is steadily increasing every year. But the inventory of these things is not too large, and it will not be exhausted for more than half a year at most. In addition, even if they do not use them, aren't we still a good place to sell this thing? The Stigia area is a great market in the future. You must know that there is also a turmoil there."
"There are also turmoil in Stigia?" Ashurufat asked. "Ajin, where did you find out the news."
"A absolutely reliable channel." Akin replied with a smile. "Well, since we are friends, I will share this secret with you. This is something I know from a knight from the Stigia region. That one is a real knight, and his words are absolutely reliable. Among the five countries in the Stigia region... Casillos and Saint Gene... are about to enter a civil war, at least they are uneasy. They will need these messengers very much."
"Why?" Rotia asked curiously. "I still remember... Well, the book also said that the royal families of Casilos and Saint Gene have become a family through marriage... This is actually not the most important. The most important thing is that in the previous war with Paro, the royal families of the two countries were almost wiped out, and only one princess left to inherit the throne of the two kingdoms. But that queen is an adult, and it is completely different from our country. Besides, it was that queen who won the war with Paro... If there was no crisis in the heirs, why would a country fall into turmoil?"
"You don't understand this. Ms. Rotia, the five countries in the Stigia region... Well, maybe except Paro, they are places that pay great attention to virtue, honor and vows... so the knights there are very popular in the mercenary market... especially as bodyguards..."
"How can there be a turmoil in a place that emphasizes honor and vows? If every nobleman follows his obligations rather than ambitions (Rotyja even sighed slightly when he said this), then what power can shake a country within? "
"Of course it's because the young queen turned against her oath and honor." Ajin laughed. "There are not all smart people in this world. In fact, this story is very fun. The origin of the matter was the previous war with Paro. In that war, the queen was in extreme danger and was closely pursued by the enemy."
Ajin said proudly, when he was speaking, both Asu Ruffat and Rotia listened seriously.
"In that crisis, a veteran... was an ordinary soldier who volunteered to stay and cut off the rear at a critical moment. This was a mortal mission. There is no doubt that in that case, any monarch must give a rich reward to the hero who was brave enough to die. Otherwise, how could he let his subordinates serve him loyally in the future? So the queen - who was still a princess at that time - did this, and she personally promised to enthrone the veteran as a knight."
"Only enthroned as a knight?" Rotia asked in confusion. "That's a suicide mission!"
"Oh, Ms. Rotia, the customs of that place are different from those of ours. In the Stigia region, it is almost impossible for ordinary people to become a knight. The knights there are not of our type, they all have real fiefs... In short, things happened naturally. The veteran delayed enough time before his death, and our princess was able to escape the pursuit successfully by relying on the heroic sacrifice of his subordinates. But later, I don't know if she forgot about this or what happened. In short, the matter ended like this, until the end of the war, the princess won a complete victory and the matter was not mentioned again. But I don't know who spread the news... In short, a few years later, the veteran's family... seemed to be a son, and finally found the princess and asked for the reward."
"This is fair," Rotia commented. "That princess should have fulfilled her promise, right?"
"Ha... it's the opposite. I guess that princess was probably not able to get out of Taiwan on the spot, or felt that admitting she had forgotten about it was too shameful... In short, she denied it. You know, in that case... that family member... well, it was in a big trouble. He was immediately hanged on the charge of offending the monarch."
"Hmm, then what?"
"Things became irreversible. Next, the other son of the veteran finally found irrefutable evidence to prove the authenticity of the matter. In other words, it proved that his brother was wrongly killed by the queen. His father died in battle to defend the queen, but the queen not only refused to fulfill the promise of reward, but also wrongly killed his brother."
"That's bad." Rotia curled her lips.
"What's worse is that this incident has been known to everyone. In a country that values virtues, honors and oaths, and regards it as the basis of the founding of the nation... such a bad thing happened... the situation is much worse than anyone expected." Ajin said. "This is almost a public proof that the queen is not worthy of being king at all."
"That's true."
"So, despite her undisputed inheritance in lineage, the queen had the undisputed right to inheritance. Her actions made her lose the legitimacy of her rule. Saint Gene and Casilos became disunited, and more than one knight publicly stated that he would not accept such a queen as a monarch... So the queen completely lost the aspirations of the people. All kinds of ambitions (a thing that is a weed, and will breed if the conditions are right) rose one after another. The princes from all over the country have their own troops, and the queen's decrees cannot leave the royal city... Speaking of which, this situation is worse than our Groney... Hey, Asu Ruffat, what's wrong with you?"
"No... nothing." Ash Rufate replied reluctantly. "But, Ajin, you hoarded messenger scrolls for profit at this moment... isn't it... considered taking advantage of the situation to make money from the national crisis?"
"What, Ashu Rufate, are these unrests related to me? Did I cause them? If I did nothing, would the situation be better?" Ajin shouted. "It's obvious that the answer is no. In other words, there is no causal relationship between my wealth and the national unrest. In that case, why don't I take the opportunity to make a fortune?"
"Although you say that, Ajin seems to have many risks." Rotia is more objective. "For example, there may not be any turmoil in the Stigia region. If the queen chooses to abdicate and marry a suitable man... willing to be a queen, then the source of the turmoil will be cleared. For example, in our country, if the Duke of Byron and General Rafa reached an agreement (although it is unlikely, it is not absolutely impossible), then the root of the turmoil in our country will be cleared."
"That's right." Ajin said. "If something really happens... I will not lose anything. At most, it will just go from a 'very profitable deal' to a 'ordinary deal'. I will set up a brand new chamber of commerce for this... I am the president and a public offering. Look, there will definitely be no profit or loss in subscribing to my shares. The opportunity is rare. For the sake of my friends, I will give you 10% off..."
"How much does it cost?" Rotia said casually.
"Old rule, 50,000 gold Olympus is one share. The total investment is about one million gold Olympus, and there are 20 shares in total. You will never suffer any loss when buying shares from me! And only today, if you miss it today, there will be no chance! Because I will issue a public offering tomorrow, and if you then, you will definitely be sold out immediately..."
"Okay, I'll subscribe...two shares." Rotia smiled and said. "Mr. Ashu Rufate, where are you?"
"Whatever you want, just have a few or five pounds." Ashu Rufate was actually thinking about other things in his heart, so he said this casually. But Ajin's eyes immediately glowed.
"Ashu Rufat, you really... don't show your appearance! Ha... Actually, I knew you were a rich man, otherwise how could you not be interested in the good deals I introduced before? Hahahaha..." He laughed so hard that he couldn't stop.
