Chapter 806 The Eve of the Storm (4) Month
Their outfits—red and black striped pants, dark blue pullovers, and a triangle velvet hat of the same color as the top—are the best, but the style is a bit old.
This means tradition. As trade representatives of the Trade Wind Chamber of Commerce, on the sacred day of inventory, they will meticulously wear the outfits that the head of the family gave to them and others.
They come from all corners of the Ramsey continent. Many people's appearance and living habits have long been influenced by the city-states they have been stationed in for a long time: some have beards, some have none; some have dye on their faces, and some have patterns on them...
But the unified dress makes these trade representatives look like a whole, and they are all loyal servants of the head of the Truewin Chamber of Commerce.
"Welcome back to our homeland," the contemporary head of the Fidewind Chamber of Commerce was a young man in his twenties. His name was Saingar, which originated from his grandfather, meaning "trailblazers."
Seven years ago, Saingar, who had just turned fifteen, killed the long-term control chamber of commerce. His late father's right-hand man, the chief trader, known as the Wind Knight, regained the fate of the family.
At the same time, in order to gain a foothold in Xihai Town, Saingar not only married the only daughter of the former local mayor Olgat, but also married several of his sisters to some powerful nobles nearby.
With the help of these relatives, the young master of the Xinfeng family quickly opened the Chamber of Commerce's business on a fast lane, and extended the Chamber of Commerce's tentacles to the entire Ramsey continent.
Xihai Town, a small town with only a small size, was originally insignificant within the sphere of influence of Hongsong City, but because of its headquarters in the Chamber of Commerce, it has now become the most prosperous place in the entire Hongsong City's commerce.
Saingar personally poured a glass of honey for all trade representatives. "For the never-ending trade wind," he picked up his glass and said, "The trade wind will not stop, and my profit will never stop!"
A total of twelve trade representatives drank all the things in the cup together. They found that there was a rich wine cup on the silver meal plate held by the servants behind Saingar - a trade representative did not attend on time on the inventory day - what happened?
"One of our friends was unable to come back in time, and Representative Aegon was trapped in King's Landing," Saingar said calmly. It seemed that the object of being a stranger, not his brother-in-law who had a relationship with him.
However, none of these trade representatives paid attention to Saingar's tone. They were more concerned about what was revealed in the words of the head of the family: in the past five years, there have been changes in the business that could provide the most substantial profits to the Chamber of Commerce.
Junlin City is not only the center of the Chamber of Commerce's blubber industry, but also the largest vault of the Chamber of Commerce. Only when the trade there is normal operation can the Chamber of Commerce obtain a steady stream of "real money" to maintain various businesses expanded in other city-states.
Since the years when monsters were raging, many changes have taken place in the commercial system of Ramsey. The most important point is that the gnome gem coins, which were once the pillar of the payment system, were gradually replaced by real money issued by the Yongxu Scale Chamber of Commerce in Junlin City.
Although this does not mean that gem coins have become worthless, in the era when goods produced by various factories in King's Landing were dumped on Ramsey's continent, the actual purchasing power of gem coins was indeed not as good as those of real money. Now, even goods produced by some Dwarf Islands, merchants will use real money to trade in order to facilitate the purchase of goods produced in King's Landing next time.
"Great head of the family," a trade representative with short body, dark skin and moustache on his thick lips was the first to break the silence of the audience room. "What should we do next? I mean, should we communicate with the Yongxuzhi Scale Chamber of Commerce and then select a suitable trade representative to regroup."
The trade representative said that there was no mention of the rescue of Aegon at all, and it seemed both cold and ruthless. However, Senegal gave him an expectant look, "You are right, we cannot give up the interests in King's Landing."
"What should Sir Aegon do?" A trade representative who was not very good at looking at the eyes suddenly questioned. However, given that the commercial district he was responsible for was located in Red Pine City and this person had a good relationship with Red Pine Mayor Fred, it was reasonable for him to ask such a question.
"People need to take responsibility for what they do," Saingar glanced at him and said calmly. The attitude of the head of the Faith Wind Chamber of Commerce revealed his decision to deal with this matter well.
At this moment, the two waiters suddenly ran into the audience room. Because they were bells hanging on them, they were far away and Seingar and others knew about their arrival.
"Master!" The two waiters said in unison without distinction. They immediately knelt on the ground, each holding a letter in both hands, raising it respectfully over his head, waiting for Saingar to obtain it.
Two letters were sealed with fire paint, which was the characteristic of the secret letter of the Chamber of Commerce. Senegal tore open the fire paint, pulled out the parchment inside, and quickly read it.
The trade representatives present noticed that as the two letters were read, the face of the head of the Xinfeng Chamber of Commerce had turned pale.
"absurd!"
He passed a letter to the trade representatives present. It was a letter from Dwarf Island, which asked the Tradewind Chamber of Commerce to compensate the goods it had stored at the King's Landing Slaughter Terminal.
"The transaction has been completed. The goods have been inspected and taken over. Now we are asking us to compensate for the losses," Saingar did not hide his anger. "Besides, those goods are contraband, and it is Aegon who is good at making claims to provide them to the dwarfs. How can they be embarrassed to ask us for compensation! It is obviously the losses they have brought to the Chamber of Commerce!"
The trade representatives were not very clear about the whole story. However, Senegal said that "the contraband was all made by Aegon as a proposition to provide for the dwarfs." They decided not to believe it. But no one was willing to point it out. Especially they all knew that even if Senegal was so angry, they would probably agree to the conditions proposed by the dwarfs in the end.
The reason is simple: the Chamber of Commerce of the Trustwind cannot risk offending another important trading partner when its relationship with King's Landing is in jeopardy. If that is true, Senegal will change its name to "Self-digger".
Another letter was not handed over to many trade representatives on site for reading. He walked to the table in the audition room, took out a quill brush and wrote a few lines of text on it, and then sealed it with fire paint and handed it over to the waiting waiter.
