Chapter 128 lurking

"Ajin, you promised me that you would keep it confidential." Ashu Rufate said seriously. "You only know this deal."

"Don't worry," Ajin replied. "I swear in the reputation of a merchant that our secrets are well maintained." He explained. "The church people asked me about this, and I told them that this is just a commercial means. The purpose is to produce a small profit but quick turnover effect. Both scrolls are actually the same. They completely accepted my explanation... By the way, Ashurufate, what are you thinking about?"

"It's just some of my personal plans." Ashu Rufate replied with a smile. "We agreed to keep it confidential."

"I just don't understand. You buy the messenger scroll at a high price and sell it at a low price..." A Jin asked a little uneasy. "Is this considered embezzlement of public funds?"

"Ajin, you don't have to care about this matter." Ash Rufate replied. "As for embezzlement of public funds... hey, I am the Minister of Finance, and I have the final say on how to use the money?"

"Ashu Rufate, I'm just a reminder. Don't forget that our chamber of commerce is the major shareholder." Ajin looked earnest. "Ashu Rufate, if you can guarantee long-term transactions, then I'm willing to lower the selling price and increase the repurchase price."

"Of course it's better." Ashu Rufate replied. "By the way, how is the business over Fornoros?"

"Everything went well," Akin replied. "It's not just the city of Fornoros, it's the same everywhere."

Although it was a very short time, Ajin's work can be said to be very effective. Now the sales network of the Chamber of Commerce has spread throughout Groney, and it is still expanding continuously.

To be honest, magic scrolls are a commodity that is easy to transport, easy to store, and high value. This makes Ajin's business not require a lot of human and animal power, nor does it require the organization of a large caravan for transportation and sales. It is precisely because of this that his sales are not restricted by many transportation conditions.

Ajin's business was very clever, which allowed him to not only make money, but also maintain relatively close contact with other chambers of commerce. Although magical communication is expensive, it has an advantage that other methods cannot match, that is, speed. There is no need to cross mountains and ridges, no need to fast horse stations, and simply use a scroll to send relevant messages safely and secretly to the destination. As we all know, only professional magicians can make messaging scrolls, or use magic to transmit, but the requirements for receiving magical communication are much lower, and people who have been slightly trained in magic can do it. There is even legend that some talented people can receive magical communication information without any training.

"Duke Byron bought it, too?"

"He not only bought it, but also was a big customer. Ashu Rufate, you wouldn't care about this matter, right? For us, buying and selling is buying and selling, and it has nothing to do with personal grudges..."

"Ah, don't worry." Ashu Rufat smiled. "I will never make you embarrassed in this regard. You are right. Customers are customers and have nothing to do with personal grudges. Although I have a bad relationship with Byron, I have no hatred for my money with Byron, right?"

"That's right!" Ajin slapped the table. "Ashu Rufate, you really shouldn't be a minister. Come and be my partner. We can create a great business miracle!"

"I will seriously consider your suggestions when I finish it." Ashu Rufat said. "Ajin, I remember the commercial blockade you told me last time. The Silverfish Chamber of Commerce is the real leader behind the scenes?"

"Ah, that's right." Ajin replied. "That blockade was indeed organized by the Silverfish Chamber of Commerce. In fact, the other party did it too much, and almost all chambers of commerce suffered losses. In that case, as long as someone takes the lead, it will definitely be a response. But I personally feel that this is not a good thing."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because merchants cannot fight soldiers." Ajin looked up at the ceiling and replied thoughtfully. "It's just that simple truth. Do you still remember the slave trader you killed? Although you have a wealth of wealth, you sent a team of soldiers to your door and directly searched his house and exterminated the clan. The so-called multinational chamber of commerce seems to look very powerful, but in the end it is just a merchant. In a normal country, the king has the ability to uproot any chamber of commerce without worrying about the consequences. Commercial blockade is okay to deal with small forces, but it is impossible to deal with any country in the seven countries. What we should do is to keep a low profile and make money, rather than show up in a high profile, to arouse others' guard and vigilance."

"After all, business is also a part of the country. There is no essential conflict between the king and the merchant, and they can coexist harmoniously. Whether the king uses force to deal with the chamber of commerce or the chamber of commerce to deal with the lords, it is not a victory. At most, it can only be said that both sides suffer losses, killing 10,000 people will suffer 8,000 yuan."

Ashu Rufate smiled.

"A Jin, you are indeed a very sensible businessman. But there are not only wise people in the world, but also fools. What's worse is that the latter is much larger than the former."

"Ah." Ajin looked at Ashu Rufate. He had already noticed that Ashu Rufate's words meant something else.

"I want to know one thing," said Ashu Rufate. "You have told me before... you have estimated the amount of old messaging reels?"

"Of course," Ajin immediately replied. "Ashu Rufat, my market research is not done for a day or two. Although I can't guarantee that it is 100% accurate, it should not be very fluctuating up and down. You know, zero purchases are actually less than wholesale. The usage of those big customers is actually relatively fixed, so they buy dozens or even hundreds of messaging scrolls every time. After all, you can always get a discount when wholesale is not?"

"Well, the old messenger reel...I mean, when will the old reel be exhausted?"

"Hey, Ashu Rufate, you mean when did they start using those 'low quality' scrolls? You're mistaken. According to a deeply ingrained habit, people always prioritize the consumption of poor quality items when they have a choice."

"You mean...they're already using it?"

"Of course, I can be sure." Akin replied. "Ashrufat, no..." He looked around and made sure that no one was eavesdropping outside. "The scrolls you sold to me cannot be used, right? What have you done on it?"

"No, they can be used." Ashrufate replied, avoiding the truth and falsity. "And I promise they can fulfill their mission."

Ajin also knew that there must be a special reason for Ash Rufate to do this. However, to be honest, although Ajin is curious, he is even more intelligent. As long as this can bring continuous benefits, why should he ask the bottom line? That won't let him make more money.

"Ajin, are we friends?" Ashu Rufat asked suddenly.

"Of course." A Jin answered immediately without hesitation for a second.

"You must not tell anyone about this transaction," said Ashu Rufate. This is not the first time he has made such a request.

"I swear with the honor of a businessman," Ajin replied. "I will not say it under any circumstances."

"Well, in fact, I have two things here." Ash Rufate took out a few envelopes from his pocket. "Akin, these are the license documents for the Irebe trade...the same as you auctioned before. However, this is almost the last few of my copies. You can freely choose a good time and auction them off. The relevant funds...well, secretly give them to the Chancellor of the Constitution, regardless of whether the person is me or not. Of course, the auction fee is calculated according to normal."

"Ah...Ash Rufate, you mean..." Ajin looked at Ashu Rufate in surprise, who placed the envelope directly on the desk.

"And this," Asu Ruffatt took out a document, "This is my power of attorney signed by me. I will fully authorize you as my representative at the Scroll Chamber of Commerce shareholders' meeting."

"Ash Rufate...you...this...so...too embarrassed..." Ajin actually blushed. He knew what this meant. Ash Rufate is the major shareholder, accounting for one-quarter of the shares of the Chamber of Commerce. If Ash Rufate entrusts everything to Ajin, it means that Ajin will have an absolute advantage in the shares of the Chamber of Commerce. In other words, whether it is normal operations or at shareholders' meetings, Ajin will become the one who speaks the same thing.

"Of course, I have written it clearly. If there is any dividend income, please keep it for me for the time being." Ashrufate said.

"Don't worry," Ajin promised with a slap in his chest. "A good friend will get a 20% discount for the rest of his life, and I will definitely calculate the interest."

"There is no need for interest." Ashu Rufate said. "I actually have another question... Do you think it is possible that major chambers of commerce will unite to carry out commercial blockade of Eagle City?"

"Ah," Ajin carefully put away Ash Rufate's power of attorney and thought about it. "I don't think there is a big chance... Let's say that, as long as our little queen can repay the debt on time, it will definitely not happen. If it weren't for public outrage, the businessman wouldn't do such a profit-free thing."

"So...what if there are some controversial debts? I mean the same clause can be understood differently. Although our commercial contracts are becoming more and more rigorous, it is difficult to eliminate this situation after all."

"This..." Ajin already understood what Ashrufate meant. "Is it the debts of several chambers of commerce, or does all loan contracts have the same problem?"

...

"Why do you look listless today?" asked Rotia. She had a keen observation ability, so she could detect the tears at the corners of the little girl's eyes. Of course, Rotia originally planned not to mention this matter, but the problem was that the little girl not only had tears at the corners of her eyes, but also had a pale face and absent-mindedness, and even spoke with a donkey head.

After all, the little girl is too young to hide her worries.
