The Dictatorial Lords

Hal took a sand table from his subordinates, and everyone looked at it. I saw that this sand table was obviously a small model of the entire market.

"According to what the city lord said, our Orz market is a rental method. You can rent shops and manage them yourself. You only need a little rent for transactions every month. Of course, you can also buy them. In terms of the price It will increase greatly. I believe that everyone sitting here is not very confident that our bazaar can develop and grow, but it doesn’t matter. You can lease it first. If you feel that we have the ability and strength to protect this bazaar in the future. You can still I bought it. Now we will bid for the first lease, only once. If anyone wins the bid, there will be no second bid in the future. The main reason is that there are so many caravans, and it is impossible for everyone to choose the one they are satisfied with. Seats. Of course, if you want to buy in the future, the winning race will have priority.”

Hal pointed to the sand table again and said, "Look, everyone, this is the seat in the very center of the entire market."

"I'm sure everyone knows. The center is surrounded by traffic arteries. If you choose this place, the business is absolutely booming. I believe you can see the value here. There are now 8 shops in the center area.

The monthly rent for a shop here is 25 gold coins. Those of you who want to rent, you can make an offer now. After Hal finished speaking, he looked at a group of businessmen below.

Everyone talked about it. This time, they mainly wanted to come to the market in Orz to test the waters, to see if they could have a stable trading channel. Therefore, it can be said that we attach great importance to this lease.

"Our murlocs bid 50 gold coins." At this time, a murloc merchant was the first to shout.

"Our fox family bids 70 gold coins." He was still a fellow of Hal. Come to think of it, I also know Hal. This should be a fox clansman who has his own caravan, but this time he came in person.

Seeing that everyone began to bid, other merchants were also unambiguous, after all, they all wanted the shop in the center. A kobold shouted: "We bid 75 gold coins." Everyone began to bid. Increased from 50 gold coins to 120 gold coins.

Hal didn't think about how high the price of this leasehold right could be. It's just a priority after all. There are many more seats to choose from.

In the end, it was the fox tribe who bid 120 gold coins to get a shop in the center. Use the right of priority to successively win the lease rights of the 3 shops here. Each store paid 25 gold coins to get it. The 25 gold coins are not a rent, but a fee for using the priority lease.

"There are still 5 shops, everyone seize the opportunity. If you miss it, you will miss it. As long as the merchants who rented for the first time don't quit, you will have no chance to get such a good seat in the future. The merchants who did not show up today also missed this opportunity. , After all, business opportunities are always reserved for those who eat crabs for the first time.”

The people below were even more positive when they heard Hal's words. 3 have been removed. The remaining 5 rooms should be obtained no matter what.

The murloc merchant who hesitated just now and missed the opportunity immediately bid: "I'll offer 100 gold coins this time, everyone leave a meal for us murlocs. My old Rick is here to thank you."

A tauren merchant said: "Old Rick, don't say these things are useless, who doesn't know that you murlocs have a lot of money. If you want to keep it, it's for us tauren. Who doesn't know that we tauren are the poorest. I will pay 110 Gold coins." Everyone looked at the tauren with contempt, are you poor? Then there are no rich people in Wigrut. You control the arms business, will you still be poor?

In the end, the tauren was rich and powerful, and got 2 rooms at the price of 125 gold coins.

The competition of shops in this center is a bit fierce. Of these 8 shops, 3 were taken away by the Fox tribe, and 2 were taken away by the Tauren. The last 3 were taken by the murloc and gnoll tribes.

Even Locke didn't expect that the jackal would take one. Didn't their race live by robbery?

The shops at the back are divided into an inner ring and an outer ring according to the shape of the market. There are 4 floors in total. They just competed for the most central seat. There is also the penultimate street on the periphery. The penultimate and outermost.

Among them, there are 16 shops on the penultimate street. One was taken by the bullhead, the murloc, and the fox clan, as well as the Dumeisha clan and Yuna.

Locke really didn't expect that the Dumeisha clan really sent someone. It came so fast. It seems that they really came to convey the meaning of friendliness. Maybe the money is not as good as the previous races, and only 3 second streets can be won. And Yuna. Maybe it's not the tribe that Du Meisha sheltered.

There are only 7 shops rented out on this street, and there are 9 others that are not rented out, so it’s not that there is no money. Yes, basic rentals are enough for those with money. Those who have no money can't afford to rent such an expensive shop.

The penultimate street has 32 shops. It was rented by some Inhumans, Rabbits, Cats, Humans and Goblins. They only rented one room, and there are 27 rooms left.

Locke was an eye-opener. There is actually a family of goblins. Said to be called goblins. In Locke's view, it's just that he's a little shorter. It's not much different from a foreigner. A human face, but a lot rougher. The hands are similar to those of Lawrence's rat people. No wonder it's called a goblin. At first glance, it is a race living underground.

As for the outermost seats, Locke has no plans to build shops, but to make them into street stalls. There are still many freedom fighters or small groups of wanderers in the Waigrett Wilderness, and there are many weak races. They cannot Rent a shop here. These are for them. Since a large market is going to be built, in addition to the benefits that can be generated by renting these shops for those races with a majority of the population, it is also necessary to consider those wandering individuals. These stalls can be rented temporarily.

This is not a fixed shop. There are also mobile small merchants and hawkers. This is the ideal market in Locke's mind.

Locke seems to be fine now. Hal can take care of the rest, so he leaves. He has work to do. When I said to hand over the business affairs to Hal, I definitely did not intervene.

Hal saw that each of these merchants had chosen the shop he wanted, so he took out the proof he had prepared long ago and asked each of them to put some pledges on it. Then Hal stamped the Ministry of Commerce seal that Locke had handed him. It has the effect of law.

After finishing all these things, he said: "Since everyone has rented the shop they like, you can open it. If you are not satisfied, you can go to the market management office to find the Ratmen, and they will help you according to your requirements." You improve."

As he spoke, he stood up and left. This is a leader of the Dumeisha clan watching Hal leave. So he stood up immediately and hated Hal and came outside the house.

He hurriedly shouted: "Master Hal. We are from the Dumeisha tribe. We may have misunderstood a while ago, and we didn't know that the Yuna tribe had found your Orz asylum. So it was a bit of a misunderstanding, you see? We this time I came to make good friends with Guicheng with sincerity. I hope I can explain these possible misunderstandings to you.”

Hal looked at this Du Meisha, it seemed that the last battle really frightened them, so he smiled: "Oh, it's okay, it's okay. Since it's a misunderstanding, just explain it clearly, you see we just now The city lord is here too, and he didn’t embarrass you Du Meisha. It is conceivable that the city lord didn’t intend to care about these things. If the misunderstanding is explained clearly, it is not a misunderstanding. Haha. Don’t worry. You are still the same as other races. As long as you bring If you sincerely come to our city of Orz to do business, we will treat you equally."

Hearing what Hal said, the Dumeisha businessman was obviously relieved. I'm afraid that Orz's people will cling to what happened last time. Revenge afterwards like that, and their Dumeisha clan are all ready to relocate. He patted his chest and said, "Master Hal, don't worry. Our Dumeisha family will definitely abide by the rules set by Lord Locke. We will never mess around in the market."

"That's good, haha. Don't worry, Orz is not the kind of city with a villainous heart, and the Lord of the City is still very broad-minded." Hal laughed and walked out. Now that many merchants have begun to move into the market, he still has a lot of things to do, but he doesn't have much time to spend time with Du Meisha.
