Chapter 129: Weakness is the original sin!

Xu Ruofeng was madly complaining about Chen Yan in his heart. It would be fine if he pretended to be a businessman in Guanhai City, but at least he should have a proper name. What the hell is Tom and Jerry? They are playing cat and mouse here.

Also, why is Chen Yan a businessman and he is a guard? It doesn't make sense at all. How can there be such a handsome guard as him!

"So it's Mr. Tom. Nice to meet you. Since you said so, it would be inappropriate for us not to lower the price. What price do you think is appropriate?"

Herman looked at Chen Yan and said.

Although he had never heard of the name Tom, and could not confirm whether Chen Yan was really the son of a high-level chamber of commerce, he did not dare to bet.

If they won the bet, they would just lose a few gold coins. If they lost the bet, then their Rose Town would not just lose a few gold coins. If they offended the high-level chamber of commerce, their future life would definitely be difficult.

And Herman always felt that Chen Yan was really a son, or at worst an illegitimate child.

How could ordinary merchants have such a calm temperament and superior attitude in the face of adversity? Even the appearance of the guards was so outstanding.

The only thing that puzzled him was why Chen Yan only brought one guard with him.

Was it because the guard was extremely powerful, or did he do it on purpose just to be able to go out alone with the guard?

After all, he heard that some nobles like men's homosexuality, and this young man might be the same.

Fortunately, Chen Yan didn't know what Herman was thinking, otherwise he would have to "bang bang" punch Herman twice even if he risked the failure of the mission.

Herman thought for a while and decided to reduce the price for Chen Yan and the others. Anyway, the price of Moo Moo Fresh Milk was not very expensive, and it was okay to reduce one or two silver coins per barrel. They could still accept it.

"I think"

"Ten silver coins per barrel!"

Before Chen Yan could say the price in his mind, he was interrupted by Xu Ruofeng.

He looked at Xu Ruofeng with a surprised look on his face. What the hell is this guy doing!

Xu Ruofeng proudly raised his eyebrows at Chen Yan, indicating that the bargaining was left to him. He had learned the bargaining strategy on purpose. Cutting the price in half first was the most basic operation.

Herman's face was also shocked.

It turned out that this guard was not dumb, but could speak!

No, now was not the time to think about this. Why did this guard named Jerry bid for Tom and cut the price so low at once? Could it be Tom's intention?

But there was no such thing as bargaining. How could you cut the price in half right away!

Herman said with a somewhat stiff expression:

"The price of ten silver coins per barrel is really too low. We can't even make back our capital at this price."

They also need to spend money to raise milk tanks. Not to mention the forage grass, the lactation potion and the preservation potion alone cost a lot of money. This is not counting the labor cost. The price of ten silver coins is indeed a bit low.

If it was only one or two silver coins, he still had the power to decide whether to lower the price, but Xu Ruofeng asked for a half-price reduction right away. He didn't dare to make a decision casually, so he had to ask the Baron.

However, the Baron would definitely not agree to this price. Their Baron was just a little weak in character, but he was not stupid.

"Actually, we..."

"We will offer ten silver coins, no more, do you want to sell it? If not, we will leave!"

Chen Yan was about to say that he could discuss it again, but was interrupted by Xu Ruofeng again.

He desperately winked at Xu Ruofeng, signaling him not to talk nonsense, but Xu Ruofeng obviously misunderstood and secretly gave him a thumbs up.

Chen Yan couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw this. He regretted it now, very much.

"I'm so stupid, really, I just knew that Xu Ruofeng was unreliable and would talk nonsense, I didn't know he would suddenly bargain."

If he had known this, he might as well have pulled a few newcomers to complete the task. Although the newcomers' strength was a little lower, they were at least obedient and would not let themselves be so passive.

Chen Yan glared at Xu Ruofeng several times, but the other party seemed not to notice and was still concentrating on bargaining with Herman.

"We really can't sell it at this price, please understand."

Herman smiled bitterly.

He didn't understand the guard's bargaining method. You should at least raise the price by a few silver coins, so that we can continue to discuss. What do you mean by leaving at any time?

And this young man named Tom, your guard has stepped in to bargain for you, and you didn't react at all. Even if he is your male favorite, you can't spoil him like this.

Or maybe this is what you meant, but you just said it through the guard's mouth.

But you can't go too far, you don't care about others' lives and deaths, just to gild your face.

Before Herman thought more, Xu Ruofeng pulled Chen Yan away, and he was still muttering loudly:

"If you don't want to sell it, forget it, Lord Tom, let's go!"

Go wherever you go!

Chen Yan was helpless. Their mission this time was to buy Moo Moo fresh milk. If you leave, the mission will fail.

"Don't worry, he will definitely keep us."

Xu Ruofeng whispered to Chen Yan, his tone full of confidence.

Chen Yan rolled his eyes when he heard it. Brother, who gave you the courage and confidence? You cut the price in half at once. They are not stupid. How could they agree to sell it at this price?

Just as Chen Yan was thinking about how to end it without embarrassment, he suddenly heard a voice behind him.

"You two distinguished guests, please stay and don't leave in a hurry. The price can still be negotiated."

Um? Can the price be reduced by half? !

Chen Yan was completely shocked. He didn't expect that Qiangwei Town would go so far in order to lick Guan Haicheng.

This voice is a bit strange, it doesn't sound like Herman's.

Chen Yan turned around and saw a man wearing a noble dress appearing next to Herman.

This man is not tall and has a pale face, giving people the impression of being very weak.

But his temperament is very outstanding, and you can tell at a glance that he is well-educated and a pure nobleman.

Chen Yan looked at the other person and already guessed his identity.

"This must be the lord of Qiangwei Town. Hello, sir, I am a merchant from the Yaojin Chamber of Commerce in Guanhai City. I came to Qiangwei Town this time to buy some Moo Moo fresh milk."

He saluted towards the other party.

"Hello, you guessed it right. I am the lord of Rose Town, Baron Lancaster. I welcome you to come to Rose Town to buy goods. I also understand the general situation. The price of ten silver coins per barrel is indeed a bit low. "

"Well, let's each take a step back. This is your first time doing business in Rose Town. In order to congratulate you on your successful business trip, we can lower the price of each barrel of fresh milk by five silver coins and consider it as a gift to Tom. ,What do you think of this?"

Lancaster said with a sincere expression.

"No, must"

"Shut up!"

This time it was Chen Yan's turn to interrupt Xu Ruofeng's words.

Xu Ruofeng heard that there was something wrong with Chen Yan's tone, so he wisely closed his mouth.

Chen Yan felt relieved when he saw Xu Ruofeng stopped talking.

He was really afraid that Xu Ruofeng would say something inappropriate again.

Although Xu Ruofeng finally got the price down after some nonsensical bargaining, Chen Yan didn't believe that they would have such good luck every time.

What's more, the price of fifteen silver coins was already very low. He originally thought that it would be good if a bucket of one or two silver coins dropped, but he didn't expect that the price dropped by five silver coins.

You know, they had to buy fifty buckets of moo moo fresh milk, which saved a total of two hundred and fifty silver coins.

Um? Two hundred and five? This number is quite ironic. It could not have been intentional by the baron.

Chen Yan glanced at Baron Lancaster and felt that he was overthinking it. Two hundred and five in the Pokémon world was just a number and had no other meaning.

And even if he had other intentions, he accepted it. After all, what Lord Ryan meant was that the more money they saved, the greater their reward would be. For the reward, two hundred and five would be two hundred and five.

"Sorry, I was not strict with my subordinates, which offended Lord Baron and made you laugh. I think the price of fifteen silver coins is very suitable. Thank you very much for this gift. I like it very much."

Chen Yan said to Baron Lancaster with a smile.

"As long as you like it, I hope you can say more kind words for us in the Chamber of Commerce."

"It's easy to talk, I believe our Chamber of Commerce will definitely see your sincerity."

Chen Yan knew in his heart that both Clerk Herman and Baron Lancaster seemed to think that his identity was not simple.

Although Chen Yan didn't know what the two of them were thinking, he was happy to continue this misunderstanding.

"Well, it will take some time for the servants to load the car. Why don't you two distinguished guests come to my castle to sit and rest for a while? We can chat for a while."

Lord Lancaster extended the invitation.

"Well, no, I think it won't take long to load the car, so I won't bother you to entertain us. By the way, I am very interested in the milk production process of the big milk tank. I wonder if you can show us. "

Chen Yan quickly changed the topic.

Just kidding, they are fakes. How dare they go to the castle and sit and chat. If they don’t know anything about it, they will definitely reveal their secrets.

Although the invitation was rejected, Baron Lancaster was not angry. He said to Herman:

"Since the two distinguished guests want to see it, then you should find someone to take them to see it."

"As commanded."

Herman nodded and accepted the order, then said to Chen Yan:

"Sir Tom, let me warn you first. The environment there is not very good. Are you sure you want to go?"

"It's okay, I won't stay too long anyway, I'll come out after seeing you for a while."

As long as he doesn't go to the castle, Chen Yan is willing to go to any dirty place.

"I understand. Please wait a moment. I will notify the director of the ranch to show you around."

Not long after, Herman brought the director of the ranch. Under the leadership of the tall and round director, Chen Yan and the two walked towards the ranch.

Seeing Chen Yan and others leaving, Herman couldn't help but asked Baron Lancaster:

"Lord Baron, why do we sell Moo Moo Milk to them at such a low price? After this successful transaction, I'm afraid they will buy Moo Moo Milk for fifteen silver coins in the future."

In Herman's eyes, businessmen are a group of profit-seeking guys who are simply greedier than Kirby. As long as they seize the opportunity, they will definitely use all means to obtain profits.

Now that they have opened a bucket of fresh milk for fifteen silver coins, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the price of fresh milk to return to twenty silver coins in the future.

"There is no way. In order to show our value to them, we can only sell the goods at a lower price."

"Don't forget, Guanhai City has the largest port in the southeast region. They can buy goods through maritime trade. Our so-called specialties are not scarce. Other places have Moo Moo Milk and Meely Wool."

"That is to say, we are already at a disadvantage in the transaction. Without Guanhai City's purchase, we don't know who to sell our goods to. But Guanhai City can still purchase goods from other places without us."

Baron Lancaster sighed, and then continued:

"What's more, we still need the protection of Guanhai City, so we can't offend them. None of the territories around us are easy to mess with. The Ironthorn Town in the west is Forget about it, they have always been warlike. "

"Feiyu Town in the north is fighting with other territories. Regardless of winning or losing, the winner will definitely target us after digesting the fruits of victory."

"Only Yinghuo Town in the south poses no threat to us, and can even serve as our barrier. But once Yinghuo Town is occupied by others, we will be surrounded by enemies. Without the protection of Guanhai City, we will soon be swallowed up by other territories."

Lancaster said with a worried look on his face. Due to the lack of information, he still didn't know that Yinghuo Town had just resisted the beast tide, otherwise he wouldn't be so confident in Yinghuo Town.

"But we have paid enough. Not only have we given them many privileges, but we have also treated them with respect. All goods are sold to them at very low prices."

"We sell them whatever they want, even big milk cans."

"In order to meet their demand for roses, we have planted a lot of arable land with roses. Now there are rumors outside that you have replaced all the food with roses because you love roses, regardless of the lives of your subjects."

Hermann said aggrievedly.

"What they said is not wrong. I did plant roses where I planted food."

Baron Lancaster laughed twice at himself.

"But what can I do? I don't have the talent to be a lord. I can't lead the territory to become stronger. I can only rely on the protection of others. I don't want this, but I don't want this territory that has been passed down for hundreds of years to be lost in my hands!"

He clenched his fists tightly, and finally let go dejectedly, with a lonely expression on his face.

"Lord Baron, you have done very well, please do not be discouraged, these grievances are temporary, we..."

"Okay, stop comforting me, in fact, I have heard the rumors outside, they all say that our Rose Town is a Catdog raised by Guanhai City, and I am the biggest lackey."

Lancaster interrupted Herman's words, he said in a low voice:

"The rumors outside don't matter, I'm used to it, but now the residents in the territory are beginning to be dissatisfied with me. In order to please Guanhai City, their interests have suffered a great loss."

"I can understand their thoughts. If I were them, I would also be dissatisfied, but I really can't do it."

"Honestly, Herman, I can't hold on any longer."

Looking at Lancaster's eyes full of tears, Herman clenched his back teeth, his eyes full of anger.

But what can he do? In this world where the strong prey on the weak, being weak is the original sin!
