The moment Lin Ke shook hands with the other party, the entire deck suddenly became eerily quiet.
The soldiers held their breath, and the people around Lin Ke looked at each other, no one dared to comment on this audacious Greek businessman.
In Holy Egypt, touching the pharaoh's body was considered a great disrespect and could even be punishable by death.
Of course, it was impossible for the Greek merchant not to see this. After all, as an experienced businessman, he could certainly infer it from the expressions of the crowd.
"Oh, that's so rude!"
The businessman then realized that he had made a big mistake. He hurriedly withdrew his hand, kept blowing on it and wiped it with an embarrassed look on his face.
"We Greeks are used to greeting each other this way, of course, of course! No offense at all!"
That’s right, in fact, it was Lin Ke who took the initiative to extend the “invitation”.
The succubus took a step forward, her eyes narrowed in a threatening manner.
"Do you know what you're doing? In Holy Egypt, offending the Pharaoh is enough to get you..."
Lin Ke raised her hand to stop the succubus, still keeping a smile on her face.
"No problem."
"Every civilization has its own unique etiquette, and we should respect each other."
The businessman breathed a sigh of relief, but was still nervous: "Well, to be honest, in our country, the king also shakes hands with commoners."
"Of course, I'm not saying that Holy Egypt is bad! I just..."
Seeing that everyone was about to eat the businessman alive, Lin Ke had to quickly change the subject.
"I see your caravan is quite large. It seems your daily trade business is very prosperous."
The businessman nodded awkwardly and just agreed with a "yes".
Of course, Lin Ke could sense fear in the other person's eyes.
Hundreds of ships of Holy Egypt, as well as gods and demons, and even the "king" of Holy Egypt were dispatched.
This sends a bad message to the Greek businessman.
Lin Ke knew very well that this might mean war and invasion for him.
Lin Ke looked at the Greek businessman at this time, and it was obvious that the other party had begun to think about how to leave.
He knew without even thinking that this Greek merchant wanted to tip off his Greek compatriots that Holy Egypt had brought hundreds of ships and they might attack Greece!
When the Greek businessman turned his head and looked at Lin Ke with an awkward laugh, Lin Ke became more certain of this idea.
"Just to give a brief introduction, we are here for the World Conference on Delos Island."
"This time, we from Holy Egypt were invited and this is our first time going there."
Sure enough, after hearing Lin Ke's brief explanation, the Greek businessman's eyes immediately lit up.
"Oh? You, you're here to attend the World Conference?"
After the other party glanced at the Holy Egypt's ships again, the fear in his eyes slightly lessened.
"That's right."
"You are the first people from Greece we have met."
"But I still don't know where in Greece you are from?"
After hearing Lin Ke's words, the other party finally seemed to put his brain back into his head and start working again.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh. It's my first time meeting you, and I'm a little nervous."
"We who do business in the Mediterranean have long heard of the great name of Holy Egypt."
"I never thought that I would be able to meet His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh here today."
"I'm so lucky!"
As the businessman spoke, the light in his eyes changed completely.
Lin Ke no longer felt any hostility, but he did smell a hint of calculating and calculating.
"I come from Corinth, Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh."
The merchant replied, his eyes still surveying the massive Holy Egyptian fleet.
"As you can see, I'm a businessman, mainly dealing in olive oil and wine."
"I've always heard that the food in Holy Egypt is of high quality. We were fortunate enough to purchase food from another caravan."
"That's really great! The price is very fair too!"
When Lin Ke heard this, he narrowed his eyes slightly.
Apparently, Holy Egypt did not “officially” sell grain.
Therefore, the grain purchased by the other party must have been the grain sold privately by the former lord of Matrouh.
"I wonder how much you paid for it?"
Hearing Lin Ke's words, the businessman raised his head slightly.
"Hmm... I remember it was about 800 deben silver coins per ton."
Lin Ke listened to the other party's words. Although he still had a smile on his face, he had already begun to curse the former lord of Matrouh in his heart.
...That guy really deserves to die!
......The official selling price is only 500 German silver coins per ton!
As expected, the food he provided free of charge to the border cities was pocketed by the beheaded guy.
With this trip, he could easily earn several German gold coins.
That's a huge sum of money.
"After we go to the World Conference this time, we hope to expand more trade routes with you."
"As for food, we have as much as you want."
Sure enough, when the other party heard Lin Ke’s words, he immediately widened his eyes, fearing that he would miss this great opportunity.
"Oh! Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, it is fate that we meet here!"
"How about you sell us some of the grain? We're willing to buy it for... 700 deben silver coins!"
"However much you sell, I will take it!"
