Chapter 141: Earning foreign currency
The two merchants thought for a while about solving the transportation problem.
After thinking hard for a long time, Gugu gritted his teeth and whispered, "It seems we can only fly it by air. Ask the Royal Air Force to send a manticore."
He shook his head and said, "although we are royal merchants, the Air Force and us do work together, so we have to spend money to get their help. A flight to Bright Road will cost us at least five gold coins."
Gugu, "This is for her Majesty. How dare they charge for it? But even if we pay five gold coins, we can still make a profit. Anyway, the cake is not heavy, so a manticore can transport at least ten or eight cakes at a time, and we can still make a lot of money. "
"I hope the cake can earn us more," he said. "her Majesty spends a lot of money on the army."
At this point, Robb suddenly leaned over and said, "how do you make money when you are so stupid? Here, let me show you how to sell a cake that could have sold three gold coins for four gold coins so that you can make more money for her Majesty."
Gugu looked over curiously.
Robb said, "cut the cake into eight slices with a knife and sell it for fifty silver coins each. Wont that be four gold coins?"
Gugu thought about it and suddenly realized it.
Robb said, "you can go one step further and cut the cake into sixteen pieces and sell it for thirty silver coins each."
The two merchants knelt to Robb on the spot, "are you a business genius or a devil? Or both.
Robb smiled but said nothing, thinking, [How can I not understand after having been teased by cake shops for more than ten years?]
Gugu took a crystal ball from his arms and placed it on the table. He tapped it twice, and the crystal ball soon lit up. A necromancer appeared on the ball.
Robb was intrigued when he saw it, Oh, a summoning crystal ball!
The two merchants were inspired by his actions, and their eyes lit up, "that's right magic items! In a small space, using magic items to continuously output ice magic can ensure the quality of food. "
The two hastened to pay homage to Robb, "you are a great talent. We are not comparable at all. There is still a lot to learn from you about business in the future."
Well said, well said. Robb suddenly pointed to the crystal ball in Gugu's hand. "I would like to ask, do you have more of these summoning crystal balls? Or do you sell it?
Gugu froze and then said with a smile, "this thing is not very rare. There are royal families in various countries, but their number is not many, you know. Its because this thing has a very strong strategic role, generally used in the military."
"You don't have to elaborate on its functions," Robb said. "I understand. All you have to do is say whether youre going sell it or not and how much it costs."
Gugu said awkwardly, "this kind of strategic magic item, I really do not dare do so without permission. I need to go back to ask her Majesty if she allows the sale of crystal balls. I can sell it to you."
"Do you have to consult her Majesty before you can sell it?" There was a hearty smile on Robb's face, "I see. After you have tasted the cream cake, I sent to her Majesty, ask her if she can sell me a crystal ball, and say that if you don't sell it to me, my cream cake is not for sale."
Two merchants:
Before long, there was a lion roar in the sky, and three huge, ferocious manticores flew from the southeast appeared. Their huge wings spread out, blocked the sun, and cast three huge shadows on the ground.
After circling the top of Robbs chapel twice, they landed and crouched in the yard, one of which sat a knight, and the other two were empty.
The two merchants each held a box of cream cake with ice magic and sat on the manticores, and waved goodbye to Robb, "Mr. Robb, please wait for our good news about the crystal ball."
Robb smiled, "I'm sure it will be good news."
The manticore flew into the sky and headed for Bright Road.
Robb waved to the girls and said with a smile, "come here. I'll teach you how to make the cake now. After you learn it, you can teach the women in town so that everyone can learn to make it. When these two merchants come to restock, we will sell it to them in large quantities and earn a lot of foreign currency."
