It's just that we still need to wait, as the money needed to treat Setsuna's mother and brother's illness is not enough for the time being.
However, it must be soon, as long as the goods on hand are sold, it should be enough.
Liu Jian inquired about Blue Star's treatment plans for severe ascites caused by liver parasitic diseases, but without exception, they all needed to be solved through surgery.
If it was early, the medicine might still be of some use, but now it's too late.
Therefore, Liu Jian is prepared to wait until Ophelia makes a breakthrough and has gold coins in his account before he considers helping Setsuna's family. After all, in the final analysis, this is just a personal investment. As for the choice, it depends on Liu Jian himself. idea.
After all, Setsuna is the first woman Liu Jian has come into contact with in the Baroou continent, and she is also a female slave who belongs to him and has signed a soul contract, so Liu Jian will not give up on her easily. If he can gain her loyalty again, That's even better.
But if the price is too high and she is not loyal, the worst thing she can do is reimburse her. After all, with the power of Golden Finger, it is not impossible to trick others into signing a contract and then modify it. After all, the premise of all this is based on ability.
……
Liu Jian and Ophelia agreed to meet after the first water hour of the new Baroque Day. It was still a long time before the agreed time. Liu Jian was going to eat and drink on the spot and take a short rest.
……
Black Rock City, the first circle, is the core area of the city.
The buildings here are not only tall and beautiful, but also exceptionally neat. Towering towers and garrison fortresses occupy four corners respectively.
There are dwarf chestnut trees on both sides of the street. The road is clean and there is no peculiar smell in the air. In addition to the baron's mansion in the middle, there are also many luxurious villas and estates.
Among them, the manor house of Ansetus Axl, the founder and actual controller of the Colchicum Merchant Group, is also located here.
As the safest place in the entire Blackstone City, the first circle is not only strictly guarded by a large number of garrison troops, but also equipped with various defensive magic arrays.
The city, including the Mage Tower, the Palace of Knowledge, and the Library, are all located within this circle. It is no exaggeration to say that those who can live here are either rich or noble in the city!
You must know that Black Rock City is not a small place. It has a large population in a limited size.
The only trade related to monster materials in the city can reach millions of gold coins every day. If there is a period of opening up the monster crypt, this number will increase several times.
Not to mention there are related industries such as casting, alchemy, magic manufacturing, etc. Tens of thousands of adventurers and temporary mercenary groups, either based on commissions or based on certain demands, are looking for monsters in the caves. Fight.
This formed an alternative but equally prosperous trading system. The Colchicum Merchant Group is the leading presence among the large and small business forces in Blackstone City.
……
In the early morning of the Barro continent, when the sun casts its first ray of light on the earth, the shrewd and capable Ansetus Axl was already sitting in his study, looking out through the alchemy glass with excellent craftsmanship. Looking at the rising sun in the distance.
The study room is simply decorated, and the two rows of bookshelves used to cover the secret room are the most eye-catching.
There is a Barrow exploration map hanging on the wall, which marks all the areas that have been explored so far, but this is still not the entire world of Barrow.
Because the area is so large, in addition to the large unexplored areas outside the border, there are also many natural disaster-risk areas, such as the wind and thunder ocean on the east coast, the eternal blizzard belt in the frozen soil of the far north, and so on.
There have been powerful adventurers who have explored these places deeply, but they have never been able to find a way to cross the dangerous places.
Therefore, there is a saying in the Baloo Land Academy that the Baloo people today do not own (completely explore) the entire world, and the vast continent they occupy is still just a corner.
Living in such a dangerous and unknown world, Ansetus Axl's wish was simple.
That is to continue the Akso family name and even build it into a true inheritance family. This wish is destined to require the efforts of many members of the Akso family.
He was used to thinking quietly every morning, which was the secret to keeping his mind clear for many years. But today, there was a"rare guest" in the study."
"my dear ophelia"
"What kind of wind brings you here to come to the study to find me?"
"What's wrong?"
"Are you ready to give up your hobby of animal taming and adventure hunting?"
Ansetus has slightly curly brown hair, a majestic figure, but a very gentle temperament. He looks like a lion who is good at calculating.
Compared with him, Ophelia looks much more delicate. After all, She inherited more of the characteristics of her elf mother, and the suffix"Sharon" after her surname was her mother's name.
"Greetings to you, dear father"
"The thing is like this…"
……
Ophelia spent two or three hours mentally drafting everything in order to successfully convince her father within ten minutes. No one knew better than her how shrewd her father was.
So she needs enough time to think about a lie that can be told. Even if there are small flaws, it doesn't matter. Her father will tolerate her. This is a transfer of her late mother's love.
But the process of persuasion is essential. She needs to let her father see that there is profit in it. After all, businessmen are profit-seeking at their core.
As long as the profits are huge enough, they will take risks themselves. Therefore, in front of businessmen, interests are always more effective than lies.
……
Ten minutes later, Ansetus tapped the table with his right knuckles rhythmically. Ophelia knew that this was a habitual movement that her father often made when he was thinking.
The sun gradually rises, and the white sunlight shines on the table. This is the gentlest moment of the day.
After a few more water clocks, the dark sun will rise in the sky, and then the light will become weird and changeable.
"Honey…"
"Are you sure that the so-called mysterious alchemist is reliable?"
Ansetus' shrewd eyes flashed with doubt.
Ophelia's answer to this question was simple.
"Goods first, money later."
These four words are enough to dispel his doubts. As long as the other party can get the real thing, all problems will no longer be a problem.
"What about our profits?"
He then asked the next question. Ophelia was also prepared for this. Liu Jian had communicated with her in advance about the relevant information.
"Get 15 out of 100"
"Mithril Tears need to be packaged and sold by us"
"This is an essential item that can be used as a weapon against monsters. You don’t have to worry about saturation at all."
"Aluminum is a casting material, so craftsmen need to be dispatched to shape and carve it into exquisite tableware and handicrafts."
"Considering the luxury positioning of aluminum tableware, it cannot be sold in large quantities in the same area in a short period of time."
"Otherwise it will affect its price, but you can choose to resell it to cross-regional traveling merchants."
"Baroo is big enough…"
"There are currently only these two types of flagship products, and the rest can only be regarded as supplements."
After listening to her words, Ansetus was silent again. In fact, he was a little entangled. Reason told him that this kind of thing was a bit nonsense.
Mithril Tears are in short supply everywhere, and there are only a few in the Kingdom of Alola. There is a mining area that can produce the raw material of Mithril Tears and Demonic Silver Blood. It is controlled by the Royal Alchemy Association.
However, because Mithril Tears are a real life-saving item, second-hand dealers emerge in endlessly, so that many traveling businessmen will start from giants. The Alchemy Association branch in the city snapped up Mithril Tears and sold them to the towns within its jurisdiction at a higher price. There are basically no hidden dangers in sales, but you need to pay attention to the method. It is a bit troublesome, but not a big trouble.
Aluminum products It is because of the comparison between nobles and the high cost of refining that they have been promoted to luxury goods. A few sets of aluminum tableware and carvings are enough for a noble to show off for a while. In fact, aluminum is not very magical. , but whether it is aluminum or Mithril Tears, as long as it is handled properly, there is huge profit in it. Ansetus can hardly believe that in the corner of the kingdom, Black Rock City, there are actually people carrying a large amount of Mithril Tears. A mysterious alchemist, and he happened to find his own daughter...
However, he still decided to give Ophelia a chance. Compared to being obsessed with taming monsters and monsters all day long, and hanging out with those low-level adventurers, Ansai Tus was still very happy that she was interested in business.
Even if this time it might just be a scam, so after a brief consideration, he nodded.
Ansetus opened the desk drawer and rummaged through A pale silver daffodil emblem appeared.
"bringColchicum emblem, the West End caravan will obey your orders"
"You are responsible for your own profits and losses. I hope you can lead the western caravan to surpass the southern caravan led by your brother."
"Dear Leah..., your father will always be your most solid support."
Ophelia bowed slightly, took the emblem representing the rights of the business group with both hands, and left the study.
……
With Ophelia successfully convincing his father, it means that Liu Jian can begin to enter the world of Baroo continent, thereby influencing it, exploring it, and dominating it!
