Release that Witch - Chapter 1041

[Chapter 1020 Issue Date]

Victor sat in a tavern box in Neverwinter, flipping through the latest trade bills.

Unlike the noisy hall downstairs, this is undoubtedly a high-end house.

The floor is covered with wool blankets, and there is a heated kang under the soft couch. From entering the room to lying down, the feet will not feel the slightest chill.

According to his request, the store also installed a movable wooden table next to the soft couch, which does not hinder the usual rest and can be used as a low table when needed.

Especially in the winter when the wind and snow are howling, it can be regarded as a kind of enjoyment to half sit on the couch and do business.

At this moment, a plate of grilled golden chicken breast slices was placed on his left hand, and a glass of dark purple chaotic drink was placed on his right. Regardless of the taste, this meal alone was worth ten gold dragons.

As a jeweler on the surface and actually the fourth son of the Lothar family, these expenses, which are regarded as huge sums of money in the eyes of ordinary people, are nothing to him.

Spending a sum of money to let himself enjoy the comfort brought by wealth has become his subconscious action, and whether it is worth it is not within his consideration.

After visiting the first show of the giant machine called “Train” two months ago, he bought a room on the third floor of this tavern and used it as his business residence.

Of course, with his wealth, it is not difficult to buy even one or two real estate properties, but Victor prefers this kind of inseparable feeling of being in a tranquility and feeling the hustle and bustle of the ground floor.

Compared with the big mansions that traditional aristocrats like, he always yearns for places like taverns.

Not just for the convenience of negotiating business with various caravans.

If there is anything that can most intuitively reflect the vitality and business prosperity of a city, then it must be the tavern in the downtown area.

After turning the last page, Victor closed the sheepskin book in his hand, and picked up the glass of crystal clear drink.

Under the candlelight, the purple-red liquid looks like a beautiful gem.

There’s been a little trouble with the bill lately.

That means he hasn’t received rough gemstones in the western region for a long time.

The battle for the king has greatly changed the situation in Graycastle. The city was destroyed by the war, and the nobles no longer have fiefdoms. These changes have caused the prices of luxury goods to drop again and again. To maintain the original profits, sales must be increased. .

But if there is no rough stone, it is impossible for his jewelry craftsmen to conjure gems.

Longsong Stronghold was originally a source of rough stones for him, but after Roland Wimbledon announced the establishment of Neverwinter City, the sources of rough stones became increasingly scarce.

He has visited the Changsong area several times, and found that all the mining areas there have been acquired by the young king. This is not surprising. It is the nature of the lord to make money. It was as if they had all disappeared out of thin air.

That’s right, he hasn’t found a jewelry store in Neverwinter so far.

Either sell the rough stones to make a profit, or invest a sum of money to make a profit after making gems. The lord’s methods are nothing less than these two.

He can earn the difference in the former, and the latter can cooperate in sales. Whether it is sales channels or further processing into jewelry, he has the strength that the other party cannot refuse.

But the king didn’t even leave him a way to intervene.

It was as if Roland Wimbledon didn’t intend to use gems to make money at all.

This made Victor a little distressed.

He also tried to sell the finished jewelry in Neverwinter, but the result was also bad.

It is impossible for commoners in any place to afford such expensive commodities that cost dozens of golden dragons. They have always been only supplied to wealthy noble families to meet their needs for showing off and comparing themselves at banquets.

But there are no nobles in the traditional sense here!

Yes, the lack of interest in jewelry in such a huge new city was something he hadn’t expected.

I have been to Neverwinter many times, and I have only bought goods here, but rarely sold them. The accounts in the sheepskin books tend to be one-sided.

This is undoubtedly an unhealthy signal.

The appearance of the train has made Victor realize that the future has arrived, but it is not evenly distributed. In order to better expand his business, he naturally wants to go to the place closest to the future.

It was also his inevitable choice to shift the focus of business from the old capital to the new capital.

The question is, what should we do without this industry in the future?

He is not short of money, even if he does nothing, he can enjoy a rich life.

But he has to prove his ability in the trade line, so that those businessmen who covet the family and black money have nothing to say.

He couldn’t let his father down.

Just as Victor was thinking about how to solve this problem, the noise downstairs suddenly increased several times, and even the floor trembled slightly.

It’s still early in the night, and it shouldn’t be the time for the drinkers to enjoy themselves. What happened?

He rang the brass bell calling for the maid.

“Excuse me,” a pretty woman soon opened the door and walked in, “What do you want?”

The moment the door was opened, the noise suddenly increased a lot, and he seemed to hear someone reading aloud what.

Victor pointed to the door, “What’s wrong downstairs?”

“Sorry, sir, did they disturb you?” The maid smiled apologetically, “It’s impossible, after all, today is a newspaper On the day of release, everyone is rushing to buy.”

“Newspaper?” He repeated awkwardly.

“Yes, His Majesty issued an announcement a week ago, saying that it will be used to replace the bulletin board in the square. Everyone has been looking forward to it for a long time, and they all want to see what the newspaper is.”

Heh, is there a new thing?

As expected of the new royal capital, Victor immediately became interested, “How much does it sell for?”

“I heard that one is ten copper eagles.”

“Buy one for me too… no, ten!” He said immediately .

“Yes.” Not long after the maid ran downstairs, UU Read Book www.sonicmtl.com soon came back panting, “My lord, my lord…all the newspapers delivered have been sold out.”

“So Quick?” Victor blinked in surprise, if it were a commodity, it would be too easy to sell.

But this doesn’t bother him at all, isn’t it just a waste of money, “Then buy it from the person who can buy it, money is not a problem!”

He threw a golden dragon into the maid’s arms, “As long as you can buy it, The rest is yours!”

“Yes! My lord!” the girl said with a smile on her face.

Half a quarter of an hour later, six stacks of off-white newspapers were handed to him.

“The following price has risen to twenty silver wolves, I have tried my best…” said the maid Qiqi Ai.

Is this seeing someone sitting on the ground and raising prices in the case of a large number of acquisitions?

And the other party’s expression clearly revealed the thoughts in her heart. Even though she didn’t complete the task, she was reluctant to hand over the rest of the money.

Victor didn’t take it seriously, “What’s your name?”

“Linglong, my lord.”

“You can keep the money,” he shook the newspaper in his hand, “Also, can you read this with me? ”

Since food and wine are available, what is missing is self-evident.

The other party’s heaving chest, as well as the fine sweat from the tip of his nose, all exuded youthful vigor, and seeing a lot of noble women, this kind of clumsy girl has a special flavor.

What’s more, the other party is a resident of Neverwinter City, so if you encounter something that you don’t understand, you can still ask her what’s going on.

“Lord Victor…” The maid lowered her head, a blush appeared on her cheeks, and after a while, she bit her lip and nodded, and replied in a low voice, “I am willing.”

“Hahaha,” he smiled and patted Patted the soft couch, “Then thank you for your company.”
