Lord of the North

"Then wish us a happy cooperation!" Jason said with a smile, and ordered the maid to bring the wine, and now he almost wrote the words "I'm very happy" on his face.

After negotiation, all the high-quality bows and arrows in Iron Tooth Town will be sold to the Kyle family at the price of ten gold coins each, while those made of relatively ordinary bows and arrows will be sold for two gold coins.

Besides, Violet became very interested in the whole piece of white bear skin used for decoration in this living room!

"How about this bear skin for me?" Virlia asked, pointing to a decorative snow-white bear skin hanging on the wall.

"..." Jason didn't answer, and silently turned his gaze to Mayor Dia. Most of these things belonged to the old man.

"I can pay for it!" Violet gritted her teeth and said, this damn guy is too stingy, he is just a penny-pinching cock, he gave me so many benefits for nothing, and he didn't even give me a bear's skin !

"This bear skin..." Mayor Dia hesitated for a moment. It was a gift from his son Dawn before he left.

He was a little bit reluctant, after all, the meaning was greater than the value.

"The market price of this kind of white bear skin should be around eighty silver coins, and I'll offer one gold coin!" Violet really likes this skin, the integrity and clean hair are full of beauty.

The furs of these wild beasts in the north, especially the furs of the snow wolves in the south are rare among the face-conscious nobles in the south. It is a pity that the snow wolves live in packs, and hunters with less than 20 people will basically die when they encounter them.

As a result, this kind of snow wolf fur is not only a luxury in the south, but also a scarce item in the north.

But except for snow wolves, most animals in the north have snow-white fur, and are very sought after by noble ladies, and their value is still high.

but……

"A gold coin?" Mayor Dia's eyes widened.

"Is there any problem?" Violet was taken aback by his big reaction.

"..." Mayor Dia smiled wryly and shook his head, without speaking.

"Mayor Dia, what's wrong?" Jason couldn't help asking when he saw this.

"Ah! For decades, all the merchants who bought furs in the town bought them at the price of five or six silver coins." The mayor of Dia regretted that he hadn't been able to inquire about the prices of these items.

"Even the hunters who went to the big cities to sell it only sold for a dozen silver coins."

The treacherous businessmen in these big northern cities bullied these local hunters because they didn't know the market, so they specifically blackmailed these people one by one. Some of them even waited for the hunters to sell things in the market, and then partnered to cheat.

In order to reduce the cost and time of transportation, the hunters usually sold them to nearby big cities or merchants in Iron Tooth Town.

"Ten times the profit, how much hard-earned money these vampires have earned from the common people." Jason was dumbfounded by the greed of these businessmen. He knew that these people would take risks for profit, but he didn't expect to be so crazy.

For some fur profits they even combined to deceive these simple hunters.

Aren't you afraid that things will be exposed and be killed by these hunters? Jason complained in his heart.

"You are all deceived, the market prices are held in the hands of these merchants, so even if you know they are lying, you can't do anything." Violet knows the doorway very well.

"If you go to a city further south, the price will even be doubled, which means that the fur they buy from you may even have 20 or 30 times the profit. It makes no sense for them not to take the risk! "

"Does the business alliance not care?" Jason now feels that this business alliance is not very good, even this kind of thing will happen.

"Not all chambers of commerce are under the jurisdiction of the business alliance." Violet glanced at him contemptuously.

If the business alliance really unites all the chambers of commerce in the mainland, then this organization will not be far from being destroyed.

"Terrible buyer's monopoly." Jason finally understood that these merchants took aim at the shortcomings of inconvenient transportation here, completely monopolized the prices here, and even formed such a terrifying profit chain, which made it impossible for hunters to sell their goods. good price.

It seems that most of the people in the iron tooth collar are so poor because of these unscrupulous businessmen.

"Will your Kyle family intervene in the north this time, won't these businessmen backlash?" Jason asked, after all, a strong dragon can't overwhelm a local snake.

The foundation of the business alliance in the north is relatively weak, and their foundation is in the south-central part of the mainland.

Jason felt ruthless in his heart, if these damned businessmen dare to hinder their development, then maybe they have to find an excuse to take them away, and confiscate their "ill-gotten gains" by the way!

There is nothing wrong with businessmen chasing profit. Capital is originally built on bones, but if they hinder Jason's development plan, in Jason's eyes, it is wrong for them to do so.

But Jason didn't dare to do this until the last moment. What if no businessman came after this?

"We can use huge funds to forcefully take a piece of this cake." Violet's small face appraised that if a huge trading market can be opened up in the north, it will help the Kyle family to increase their voice in the business alliance. It is also very impressive.

The terrifying monopoly of capital, Jason saw it, Violet just wanted to use huge funds to suppress the system established by the original merchants in the north, and forcibly open up a market here!

This kind of behavior is a threat in the eyes of the state regime, and generally adopts a policy of repression, and the merchants in the north will attack in groups and attack the Kyle family's business with all their strength.

But with Jason's help at this time, all this would not be impossible.

"I will issue decrees in Iron Fang Ling that will benefit your development, and you can use this as a springboard to open up the northern market." Jason said with a smile.

"After that, the purchase and export of the iron-tooth collar will be handed over to the Chamber of Commerce of the Kyle family, and I will give you a price that satisfies you." Virlia is very satisfied with the result.

It's not impossible for them to find other nobles to cooperate with, but these nobles are inextricably linked with local businessmen, and cooperating with them is in danger of being bitten back.

But Jason is different. He needs help now and needs a solid ally, so he has become the preferred target of the Kyle family.

Jason looked at her bright smiling face, but he was thinking secretly. This would mean that the economic lifeline of Iron Tooth Town was in the hands of Kyle's family, but Jason had no other good solution for the time being. Seeking skin from a tiger.

When conditions permit in the future, find an excuse to kick them out or find a way to reduce their influence in the territory. After all, it is better to hold your own territory in your own hands.

"Cheers to our cooperation." Jason picked up the wine that the maid just brought and raised his glass.

"Pleasant cooperation."

"This is the unique wine in Iron Tooth Town, try it." This is the special wine brewed from tree sap, and Jason is now using it to entertain guests.

"It tastes very good!" Violet's eyes lit up. It was indeed delicious, even better than the fruit wines that noble ladies love.

"It's a pity that the production of this wine is too low." Jason said regretfully, the production of Bilan tree sap necessary for this wine is too low to be produced on a large scale, so it doesn't have the conditions to sell in large quantities, otherwise it would be another fortune entry.

Now that Jason is so poor, his first reaction when he sees something new is whether it can be used for commercial purposes.

"I still have a lot of inventory in my castle. If you like, I can give you some. I wonder if I will be lucky enough to invite the beautiful Miss Violet to my castle as a guest."

"It's my pleasure."
