Chapter 513： folk (1/2)

Cod, the big businessman in the Carroll region, the family has been doing business for generations. When he was young, he used to go out alone. He is well-known in the northern part of the South, and he is eye-catching, dare to act but not cautious. He is able to seize all interests, but Standard merchants who abide by the spirit of the contract, whose family business covers many fields of fur, spices and pharmacy, have a wide range of friends, and have channels in the plains of the Holy Spirit and the East.

Pal is the eldest son of Cod. If there is no accident, this young man with business talent will inherit his father's career.

Gao Wen looked at the big Carlar businessman in front of him and matched it with the information in his mind. This is the first time he saw Cod himself, but he still knows a lot about the businessman’s intelligence. And the other party has two things that impressed him:

The first was the reorganization of the Carroll Business Association. After the end of the South China War, the Office of Government took over the Carroll area. The original loose alliance of local merchants was reorganized and returned to the Office of Administration for Administration. The merchant is Mr. Cod, and he has also actively promoted the reorganization of the commercial order in the entire region, thus entering the line of sight of the local consul, and has a place in the government office.

The second one was earlier. After the rise of the Cecil Alchemy Potion, cheap industrial chemicals quickly covered the entire South. Almost all merchants involved in the pharmacy business were affected. The family of Cod was no exception, but the merchants were in abundance. When fleeing or diverting or turning to the Count of Hosman, Mr. Cod did an amazing move: he abandoned all the family's finished pharmacy business without hesitation, and then started the wholesale of herbal raw materials and alchemy pharmacy. Trading has become one of Cecil’s earliest raw material suppliers and wholesalers of alchemy syrup...

An excellent businessman.

"Sit down, don't be polite," Gao Wen chose to meet the businessman and father in the study. Naturally, he would not come up with a high attitude. "Betty prepared tea and sent it to the study."

There are hospitality tables and chairs in the study room. Cod and Parpin regain some nervous emotions and sit down as far as they can to sit face to face with such aristocrats. This kind of thing is for businessmen like them. In fact, it is almost an unimaginable adventure. Even if it is difficult to calm down with Cod's mind, the big businessman still has not lost his basic judgment. He noticed that this is a study, which is undoubtedly a good phenomenon.

The living room is the most common place to receive guests, but the study is more secret. The things that can be talked about in the study are often not available in the living room.

There is a big business today.

Gao Wen observed the reaction between Cod and Parr and smiled slightly: "You don't have to be nervous. Today, you are talking about your field of expertise. Padrik has recommended you to me. Mr. Cod, as far as I know, yours. The business road is extensive."

“It’s all about making a living,” Cod carefully pondered every word, “Nothing in front of you.”

“You don’t have to be humble. The value of the merchant is very important to the Principality. Mr. Cod, I heard that you even have business in the East?”

Cod’s heart twitched, and for a moment he didn’t know how to answer it, and he slowly sweated behind his neck.

The East and the Kingdom Army are fighting... Although the South is not involved in this civil war, the merchants with a wide range of trades have been affected more or less.

In addition to the Southland, Cod's business has a large market in the Holy Spirit Plain, and at the same time, he and the merchants in the East have some contacts.

Due to the changing situation of the Rock Fortress, the current road to the plain of the Holy Spirit is slightly unsatisfactory. In order to avoid losses, many businessmen who do business with the Holy Spirit Plain are thinking of other ways. Cod also strengthened the connection with the East. The land corridor in the Gülen area was used as a transit. He recently sent several large items to the other side, mostly potions...

He did not violate Cecil's law, all taxes were paid, all the goods were registered, but the Duke suddenly asked this at the moment... Is the answer yes, or not?

Gao Wen? Cecil is the founding father of Ansu, so who does he support in this civil war? From the perspective of orthodoxy, he may support Wang Guojun... But to be honest, who is now 100% orthodox in both sides of the civil war...

Cod’s mind turned a myriad of thoughts in a moment, and the massive balance of interests was one after another, but he had to answer, so after just two seconds of hesitation, he still spoke: “...there are some channels, but Because of the civil war, the channel is not very smooth..."

"For me, Dong Jing and Wang Guojun are the same," Gao Wen said, not too slow, "the junior fights."

Codd’s face was positive: “But the channel has been much smoother in recent times.”

"That's good," Gao Wen nodded with satisfaction. "The Principality needs your business."

Cod had a good control of his expression changes, but his breathing still could not help but glimpse.

Big! Health! meaning! !

A bigger business than he thought! !

The big businessman’s face is almost full of light: “I am willing to serve you. This is the highest glory of our entire family!!”

Gao Wen nodded again with satisfaction and then said, "So, you should know about this business..."

Cod listened carefully and didn't dare to drop a word.

As he expected, the Duke would do business with Dongjing and sell the potion to the east.

This is a big deal than public, but it can't be done too much, so it needs an agent.

Cod and his family will become the agent to carry out the Duke's will to manage the rogue gold coins.

The conditions prescribed by the Duke are excellent. Although the family's pharmacy business in the east will no longer enjoy all the profits, it will need to pay more than half of the proceeds to the Principality, but this part of the "loss" is compared with the upcoming gains. It’s not worth mentioning.

With the support of the Duke, how many times will the family’s pharmacy business in the east expand? ten times? Twenty times?

Only more than that!

Cod knows what kind of business is the agent who became a nobleman. He is a civilian. He knows that there are many people like himself who even want to disperse most of their wealth. They must also strive for such an opportunity: this is a society that can The path of blood and honor.

Good agents can seek a real title for future generations, and for this possibility they are willing to pay a huge price.

Although the aristocrats in the South have no real power, and only the honorary title and limited hereditary treatment are left, on the other hand, the Duke does not need any great price to pay him. He can even earn a lot of nothing in the world. This is a better thing.

After waiting to understand most of the things, Gao Wen looked at Cod's eyes: "So, did you understand?"

"Yes, Duke, I fully understand," Cod said quickly and nodded. Then he pulled his bow tie and asked carefully as he calmed down. "But I don't understand... why do you specifically choose? I?"

"You have the ability, it's a smart person," Gao Wen leaned back on the chair. "In addition, I didn't specifically select you. Padrick recommended 12 people. I just took the 12 options. you."

Cod blinked and his face showed a hint of enlightenment. Then he stood up and lowered his head deeply: "I understand Cod Baldwin, swearing in the name of the family, will be loyal and will never betray you." pledge."

"You will," Gao Wen smiled and nodded, and took out a document. "Then we will sign the agreement and Paderick will contact you to prepare for your next business. As for how to carry out In the east business... you should not have to help others."

Cod took the file with great care and carefully looked at it from top to bottom. The agreement drafted by the Duke was stricter than he had imagined, even more than the contract signed between many merchants. He is so professional that he can't see anything that can be questioned.

So he signed his name on it and with the last one, he took a long breath.

The young man named Pal was just watching it quietly. He remembered his father's teachings. He didn't say a word on this occasion, and he didn't miss a word.
