"Hello, Mr. Kureya..."
Under the introduction of the maid beside him, Loran Hill greeted the heads of these chambers of commerce one by one.
After a round of greetings, the girl finally got to know everyone present, including people from four large chambers of commerce and seven medium-sized chambers of commerce who came to the banquet.
Sitting at the head of the long table, Loran Hill clapped his hands lightly, and then the maids brought up the prepared fruits, food and the like.
Since the main purpose is not to eat, most of the food is snacks and light fruits.
After another polite conversation, the topic finally slowly turned to today's theme.
"Miss Messiah, could you please give us a brief glimpse into the Chamber of Commerce behind you?"
Finally, someone asked curiously.
"Our Chamber of Commerce comes from the distant Southern Islands. Since it was established not long ago, it's normal that people don't know much about it."
...
"As for the name, you can call us 'Black Rabbit'." Because the goods mainly come from the rabbit-eared tribe in the Tisilan Mountains, Loran Hill chose this name.
"'Black Rabbit'? It sounds very fairy-tale-like and really arouses endless imagination." The presidents of several major chambers of commerce pondered.
Such a name has a very casual feeling, but once you get familiar with it, you will find that it has a fantasy and magical style, which is very consistent with the goods they sell.
It seems like a fantasy product from a fairy tale wonderland.
Nodding slowly, indicating that they temporarily accepted the name, these people began to ask various details about Loran Hill, such as the specific annual output, processing time, transportation costs, losses, whether there is a return and exchange service, how the quality is guaranteed, deposit, payment settlement cycle, and so on.
It’s not that I’m deliberately trying to make things difficult for this charming girl, but as a businessman, getting information and verifying authenticity has become a professional instinct.
Fortunately, Loran Hill had prepared for these issues before coming. After all, she had been the eldest daughter of the Chamber of Commerce, so she knew everything about it. Her explanations were flawless, which dispelled many people's doubts.
It’s not like I haven’t encountered such scammers before, but scammers are scammers after all. They have never really run a business, so some problems in the details will always reveal their true colors.
After confirming that this girl most likely had a corresponding chamber of commerce and industry behind her, the expressions of these people gradually relaxed, and some of the conditions were relaxed.
"If Miss Messiah agrees, we are willing to pay 1,000 extraordinary gold coins for eight standard shipments."
The so-called standard goods refer to the recently agreed goods, which are 2.1 meters wide and 36.6 meters long. The quality is at least excellent silver grade. If it is better, the price can be increased appropriately. The price will increase by 15% for each small increase, that is, the rare silver grade will be 15% more expensive than the former.
"Yes, and for the first transaction, I don't need to collect a deposit. But in the future, you must pay at least a 20% deposit, because the production process of moonlight cloth is lengthy and we also need to mitigate risks." Loran Hill blinked and said the relatively harsh conditions.
In fact, it’s not that I’m short of money. I just want to use this competition to make a selection. Since it doesn’t matter who I sell to, why not find a better customer?
As for raising prices, there is no need to do that for now. This will be done when it becomes popular or the market response is good.
The businessmen present looked at each other and nodded in agreement. What Loran Hill considered to be harsh conditions were actually nothing to them. If the other party did not mention anything, being too "kind" would make them feel uneasy.
How could a merchant trade at a loss? Such a generous offer likely implies some ulterior motive. As for the higher price, which means the other party makes more money, that's a minor issue. Everyone has negotiated their way through this, step by step. There will be plenty of opportunities to understand each other's bottom line and production situation.
After the start, several other chambers of commerce also determined the quantities they needed and signed corresponding contracts.
After finishing all this, the banquet entered the more relaxed second half.
"Ms. Messiah, have you ever been to the Empire before? It seems like you know a lot about many things." A businessman asked curiously.
"I've visited here with classmates before, but I didn't stay here long-term, so I kind of understand some of the situation."
"Oh, I see. It seems that Miss Messiah must be very knowledgeable. I always feel that there is a poetic temperament when you speak." Another person also praised with a smile.
These people's interest gradually shifted from the commercial goods to this lovely and charming girl.
"Are you now taking over the management of the Chamber of Commerce from your father?"
....
"May I ask if you are married?"
....
"In fact, I have a nephew who just graduated from Emenas. He is about the same age as you."
....
"The empire is not very stable right now. If Miss Messia is in need of guards or something, we can provide some assistance."
....
"The Pascal family? We still have to treat this topic with caution. In fact, our Blue Province rose even earlier than the Land of Oz, and we have always kept our distance from the Pascal family that replaced the Land of Oz." After drinking some wine, several businessmen were a little tipsy and began to talk about some past events.
....
"Because of our exquisite clothing, we are always able to interact with those noble families. Therefore, we have maintained a certain degree of independence under the feet of the Red Dragon and have avoided being swallowed up."
