Noble Emblem

The business was not negotiated, and Amanda looked frustrated.

After several people left Chad's house, Amanda took out the gold coin and said, "Sir, I'm very sorry, this transaction failed. This is your deposit, please take it back."

Beta waved his hand and said: "It's just a failure this time. I believe you have other good caravans that you can introduce to me."

Amanda thought for a while, then took the gold coins back, and then said: "There are indeed other options, but they are not as good as the Black-tailed Scorpion Caravan. If you have time now, we can go to the next merchant immediately. Let’s discuss it with them.”

A gold coin is not much for Beta, but for a common woman like Amanda, it is a lot of money.

Beta nodded in agreement upon hearing this. Although Amanda didn't explain her identity, he could tell that this girl was definitely one of the city's local gangsters. If this were not the case, she would not be able to master so much information. If not, she would not be able to stay in the Chamber of Commerce.

Although the Chamber of Commerce has been severely suppressed, it has still established a firm foothold in this city. If it had not had some skills, it would have been swallowed up by other nobles.

It is only natural to come to a new city and seek help from local cowards.

Amanda smiled slightly, feeling very satisfied with Beta's decision. Although she said she was just a little teller, she still behaved like a kind businessman. But in this era, every capable businessman has some power behind him. If Beta dares to take back the gold coin, then she can guarantee that it will not be easy for Beta to do business in this city.

Next, a few people went to see three caravans to be acquired, but unfortunately, either Beta looked down on others, or the other party looked down on Beta. Many caravans, like Chad, hope that after being acquired, they can still have the power to determine the future direction of the caravan. To put it simply, they just want to raise ‘venture capital’ funds.

But Beta doesn't want this. What he wants is a caravan that can obey his orders for trade. After all, to build a new city requires a lot of materials, and it is impossible to make money with some materials. If Beta does not have enough authority, if the caravan steward is unwilling to do so, it will inevitably affect the city's construction progress.

Beta didn't want to be pinched in this regard.

After even looking for a few stores, Amanda gave up. This time she took out the gold coin sincerely and said: "Sorry, it seems that there is really no way to complete the business this time. Your Excellency, this gold coin will be returned to you." Here you go."

Beta still waved his hand: "You're welcome. You should be tired after taking us for a day, so this should be considered as hard work."

Amanda was not coquettish either. She put away the gold coins and asked, "What are your thoughts next?"

"Since the acquisition fails, then I will build my own caravan." Beta asked Amanda: "Madam, since you have a lot of human resources, how about you do me a favor?"

Amanda's eyes lit up, and she asked hurriedly: "Your Excellency, you want me to help find someone and then set up a caravan?"

"right."

"No problem. But it will cost more." Amanda smiled like a cunning vixen: "You should also understand that the caravan needs a lot of talents because it has to travel around, and it needs to be taken care of. All aspects of things. Ordinary caravan handymen are easy to find, but talents with special skills are rare."

Amanda wanted to take the opportunity to charge more fees. She could see that the noble man in front of her was a very generous person.

If you were an ordinary person, you would have to fight against Amanda's behavior of taking the opportunity to increase prices. But for players, anything that can be solved with money is not a problem. Beta raised a finger: "You help me build a qualified caravan, and the number of people must not be less than fifty. If you succeed, you will get ten gold coins as a reward."

Amanda's body trembled, and then she shouted: "Your Excellency, leave this matter to me."

Beta showed a satisfied expression. Then he and the business girl parted ways. Amanda was very employed, so she directly started looking for people who were suitable to become traveling merchants, while Beta returned to the hotel.

Establishing a caravan is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Beta waited very patiently. He took Shirley and Jessica to wander around the city every day and bought beautiful clothes for the two girls.

After a few days of this, the number of informants responsible for monitoring Beta became fewer and fewer. The people behind them seemed to think that Beta was a normal nobleman who came to the city to build a caravan.

Beta is naturally very happy with this situation. After all, no one wants to have a bunch of flies behind them all the time.

That day, he took Shirley and Jessica for a stroll on the street and returned to the hotel. Just as he was about to take a rest after dinner, a waiter came up to report: "Sir, there is someone looking for you outside. There is something very important that needs to be discussed with you in person."

"The construction is completed so quickly, so let her come in."

Beta thought that Amanda had already set up a caravan. When she was happy, she saw a middle-aged man walking over. His hair had all turned white. Beta looked familiar to him, but hesitated. After two seconds, he finally recognized who this person was: "Steward of the Black-tailed Scorpion Caravan, Chad, how did you become like this?"

A few days ago, when Beta saw Chad, although the latter had no money and looked down and out, he still had some energy and looked like an ambitious person. They hadn't seen each other for just a few days, but now Chad looked like a beggar, and his expression became even more lost and numb.

"It's not a big deal, I'm just a little tired recently." Chad smiled bitterly: "I came here this time to ask for your help to acquire our Black-tailed Scorpion."

Beta was a little surprised: "Oh, why did you change your mind suddenly?"

"I can't hold on anymore!" Chad said helplessly: "Now our money is getting less and less, and it is already difficult to maintain the most basic life of our caravan."

Beta asked the other party to sit down, and then asked: "Why did you choose me? And are you willing to give up the command of the caravan?"

There was bitterness on Chad's weather-beaten face: "No problem. If possible, could you sign the contract as soon as possible? My caravan members can't hold on any longer."

Beta thought for a while and said, "I asked Amanda to help me find people to build a new caravan not long ago."

Upon hearing this, Chad's expression changed.

Beta continued slowly: "So I have to think about whether to acquire you. Generally speaking, it is faster to acquire a caravan directly, and it is easy to make money immediately, but now Amanda has been in action for several days No, I can’t break the contract midway, otherwise it will be bad for my credibility.”

"Excuse me, sir. I'll come back in two days to hear your thoughts."

Four minutes later, Beta stood by the window, watching Chad gradually leave below. Shirley stood aside and asked a little strangely: "Why didn't the master agree to him? Now the Black-tailed Scorpion should be the most powerful caravan in Harvey City. It would indeed be beneficial to us to acquire them directly, and even if we We can also incorporate them into the new caravan and use their experience to bring out our new caravan.”

Beta said: "Things are not that simple. I think Chad changed his mind in just a few days, and something must be weird. I asked Joan to ask Amanda to see what she can find out."

Joan of Arc can talk, fly very fast, and is indeed a good communicator.

After half a day, Aman's family appeared in the hotel. As soon as she saw Beta, she called out softly: "Your Excellency really loves sending people. It's already been very hard to find manpower for the caravan for you, and you actually want me to help you get information."

Beta popped out a gold coin, and Amanda took it with a smile.

In fact, Beta likes to get along with people like Amanda. Although she loves money, she has integrity and bottom line. As long as you pay, things will be done for you. It is much more comfortable to deal with such people than to deal with other nobles or professionals.

"Chad has been in trouble recently." Amanda laughed with some schadenfreude: "A noble took a fancy to his caravan, but that noble is not as easy to talk to as you. The acquisition fee paid by the other party is not only very low, but also Order Chad to hand over all power, otherwise he will find a way to drive Chad out of the caravan."

Beta was silent for a while: "In other words, Chad is planning to divert trouble and ask me to confront the nobleman head-on to save his caravan? It's a good idea."

Amanda shrugged cutely and said nothing. Many times, when two forces are about to become hostile, the best way to survive is not to talk too much, not to actively get involved in the fight between the two parties, and to stay out of it.

Shirley looked very angry after listening next to her. Even with a scowl on her face, she still looked very beautiful and moving: "Master, how about we teach Chad a lesson for having such a dirty mind."

"We don't need to take action." Beta smiled: "The noble who wants to acquire him will naturally make him suffer."

As expected, each noble is smarter than the other. Chad actually wants to play such a trick between two nobles. He is really asking for his own death. Aman thought this in her heart, but greeted Beta with a smile on her face and left. She had to continue to help Beta form a caravan, and time was very tight.

Two days later, Chad came over. When he entered the door, he asked expectantly: "How are you thinking about it?"

Beta lowered his head and was working on a magic scroll. He seemed to have no interest in Chad's visit, and was even close to being rude. He said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Chad, I'm building a new caravan. I've been short of funds recently. I can no longer acquire your caravan."

As soon as Chad heard this, his face immediately turned ugly. (To be continued.)
