Zhang Feng wrote the last word in his notebook.
What was recorded above were some of the conclusions he had drawn after observing the Flying Wolf Riders for a while, such as the fact that the other party was strong in build, had mysterious armor and weapons, had good discipline, was extremely vigilant, etc.
After all, I didn't observe them closely, or see them in action with my own eyes, so I can only record some superficial things.
Closing the notebook, Zhang Feng turned his head and looked at the cat-eared girl who had been beside him and asked:
"Windsor, what would you like to eat tonight?"
Although Windsor always called him master, in fact their relationship was more of friends than master and servant. Zhang Feng did not treat her as a servant. In many things, he followed her wishes, such as when it came to eating. It was definitely not that Zhang Feng had difficulty making decisions.
"Master, I heard that Hongye Restaurant has launched a few new dishes today, all of which are sea fish. How about... let's go eat fish together!"
When she heard about eating, the cat-eared girl's eyes lit up and she instantly became energetic. She even slurped her saliva when she talked about fish.
Because the east of Danga is the ocean, the ocean is rich in resources, and the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce naturally has to make use of this natural resource. So the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce purchased seafood from the orcs on the coast, and the price was 20% higher than the market price, so naturally there was an endless stream of sellers.
Because this is the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce's long-term business, many orcs have run to the seaside and specialized in this business.
The reason for the high price is not because the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce is kind-hearted, but because most orcs cannot swim. They usually go to the beach to pick up things during low tide. If you want them to take the initiative to go to the sea to catch fish, you will not be able to do so without a high price.
But even so, the amount of seafood collected was still not much, and it could only supply one Red Leaf Restaurant. After all, orcs have a big appetite.
When Zhang Feng calls back a few large ships, the embarrassment of insufficient production capacity will be alleviated.
The new dish that the cat-eared girl was talking about was a large batch of sea fish that an orc sold to the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce a few days ago. No one knew what it was called because no one had ever seen it.
Zhang Feng took a look at it at that time, and through the ugly, alien-like face of the other party, Zhang Feng guessed that it should be a deep-sea fish. The deep sea is darker, and the fish's appearance is more casual.
After hearing what the fishermen had experienced, Zhang Feng became more determined in his idea.
Because these fish were in the shallow sea area they often went to, and they suddenly floated up, dying, and were caught. They must have been accustomed to the high-pressure environment in the deep sea, and couldn't stand it when they came out, so the orcs froze them and asked the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce if they wanted them.
Since some of them ate the fish on the way and nothing unexpected happened, the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce naturally accepted them and gave them a good price.
Deep-sea fish are generally delicious and rich in nutritional value. When Zhang Feng heard the cat-eared girl talking about eating fish, he thought of these fish, which he had not had the chance to taste yet.
But before that, Zhang Feng asked the little red dragon who had been silent not far away.
"Hill, what do you think?"
"casual."
Hill said indifferently.
For her, only chocolate cake and lollipops are special. Everything else doesn’t matter as long as she can eat her fill.
"Okay, let's go and try it. If it tastes good, we can bring some back for Xiaotang and the others."
Zhang Feng thought for a while and said.
"Yes, yes!"
The three of them went downstairs. The Red Leaf Restaurant was right next door and they arrived in just a few steps.
Although the orcs working in the Red Leaf Restaurant did not know Zhang Feng's identity, because Zhang Feng took out an exquisite badge, he was immediately treated as a guest of honor, and the entire top floor was opened to Zhang Feng.
There are four floors in the Hongye Restaurant. The fourth floor is not open for business. It is usually only open for internal activities of the Hongye Chamber of Commerce or when important people come.
The badge that Zhang Feng took out represents the star membership of the Hongye Chamber of Commerce.
He used the system of the Red Leaf Business Alliance that had been established in Red Leaf City before. The official members were divided into one star to five stars. Of course, the conditions for joining now were completely different from before. It was no exaggeration to say that those merchants in Red Leaf City who first joined made a huge profit.
Formal members represent partners of the Hongye Chamber of Commerce, and they will receive a series of preferential treatment such as discounts and priority.
Currently, one-star awards are more common, but this is relative. The recipients are countries that have traded a certain amount of money with the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce.
Two-star members are relatively rare. Currently, there are only two countries, the Kingdom of Hobro and the King of Danga, which have relatively in-depth cooperation with the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce.
As for those above three stars, they are legendary. Even the staff of the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce do not know who the members above three stars are.
What Zhang Feng took out now was a Samsung membership badge.
Therefore, when the manager of Hongye Restaurant saw this, he treated it very seriously.
In their eyes, although Zhang Feng is a human being, he is also a big businessman who has close cooperation with the Hongye Chamber of Commerce. He is even more powerful than those kings!
After all, I haven’t heard of any country’s kingdom getting a three-star membership, and the highest known level is only two stars.
"Hehe, Master, you are so mean! If these people knew your identity, they would be scared to death!"
After the waiter left, the cat-eared girl said with a smirk.
Zhang Feng rubbed Windsor's cat ears and said, "Special period, special treatment. It's better not to disclose my identity for the time being."
Windsor enjoyed Zhang Feng's touch, squinted his eyes and stopped talking.
Soon, there was a noise outside, and Zhang Feng thought that the food was coming up.
He was still muttering in his heart that the speed of this Red Leaf Restaurant was quite good and it was almost catching up with the Red Leaf Restaurant in Red Leaf City.
But unexpectedly, this was not the case and an unexpected situation occurred.
Fourth floor, outside the door.
Bennett was just about to bring Dean and his group in, but was stopped by two orc security guards at the door.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, there's someone inside. Please go to the third floor to dine. I'm so sorry!"
Bennett was stunned when he heard what the orc security guard said.
He was the king of Danga, dining in a restaurant in his own country, but was turned away? Who would believe this?
At first Bennett thought the other party didn't recognize him, but then he suddenly thought, the other party called him His Majesty the King, how could he not know him!
This made Bennett look very unhappy. If it was normal, he would not care, after all, the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce was an existence he could not afford to offend, but today he brought His Highness Dean with him!
Being blocked outside the door, does he still have any dignity as a king?
Dean beside him was also stunned. It seemed that he had not expected that he would be stopped at the door in his own country, Bennett. This was beyond Dean's expectation! Dean showed a look of watching a good show. He wanted to see who would retreat between the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce and the Bennett Kingdom.
Bennett's face flushed a little, and for a moment he even had the urge to break in.
But soon, he calmed down. He couldn't afford to offend Dean, but he couldn't afford to offend the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce either!
If Dean wasn't there, it wouldn't matter if he went down by himself, but the problem was that Dean had already come with him. If he brought someone down with him, wouldn't that be a slap in the face of Dean? Even a slap in the face of the Sirius Empire! For a moment, Bennett was in a dilemma.
He regretted so much. Why did he have to bring Dean to the fourth floor? The environment on the third floor was also very good! At this time, the manager of Hongye Restaurant discovered the situation here. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and trotted over.
He naturally knew Bennett, and although he did not know the people around Bennett, he knew that they were from the Sirius Empire. As orcs born and raised in the Orc Continent, the horror of the Sirius Empire has always been deeply rooted in people's hearts.
But then again, he is no longer an ordinary orc, but the manager of the Red Leaf Restaurant, representing the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce. He also has a terrifying force behind him! He is not weak either.
"Your Majesty Bennett, I'm sorry that you said you were coming but you didn't send someone to inform me in advance so that I could make good arrangements for you! It's really unfortunate today because a three-star member of our Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce is here..."
The manager said with a bitter face.
"Three-three-star member?"
Bennett was stunned when he heard the manager's words.
As a member of the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce, he was well aware of the horror of star-level membership, especially the high-star level ones. After all, the threshold for becoming a one-star member was to have accumulated transactions with the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce of more than 100 million Red Leaf coins, which was equivalent to one million gold coins.
Please note that this is just the threshold. There will be special personnel to conduct the review later. Only after all indicators are met can you become a one-star member. It is said that currently, out of every ten people who reach the threshold, only one person will eventually pass the review!
As for the two-star threshold, it has been raised a lot. One must have accumulated more than 1 billion Red Leaf Coins in transactions with the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce, which translates to more than 10 million gold coins, to be qualified, and then be reviewed by the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce.
As far as he knew, only himself and the old king of Hobro were two-star members.
Moreover, he had taken advantage of something to get the two-star membership, because many of the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce's industries were here, so they made an exception for him. Otherwise, his transaction amount would be far from reaching 10 million gold coins.
Of course, he also knew that the huge Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce must have more than just these two-star members, but his knowledge of them was limited, and he thought that as long as these members did not want to be exposed, the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce would not disclose their identities.
Now when he heard that there was a three-star member inside, his eyes widened.
Three-star member, then the accumulated transactions between him and Hongye Chamber of Commerce must be at least 100 million gold coins! God, let alone 100 million, even if he sold his Danga country, it would be a problem whether he could sell it for 10 million gold coins. Maybe it would be a few million at most.
One hundred million, he couldn't even think about it! Who was in it? Could it be the top ten countries?
No, it's impossible!
Those countries only recently sent people here. It is impossible for them to reach a deal of 100 million in just a few days. It is even unclear whether they can come up with so much money. How could it be them! Since it is not them, this person is likely to be a former partner of the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce! It is very likely... not from this continent! After all, the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce has not been in the Orc Continent for a long time...
At this moment, Bennett's mind was spinning wildly.
It’s true, his guesses were pretty good, even though most of them were wrong.
"Samsung Member, what is that?"
Dean spoke out with some curiosity.
Because he observed that when the manager mentioned the three-star membership, Bennett's face changed.
It was as if this so-called three-star member was a man-eating monster! This aroused a strong interest in Dean's heart. What kind of existence could make Bennett so scared? Even to the point of making him ignore his future heir to the Sirius Empire?
interesting!
After Dean asked this question, Bennett finally woke up from his dream. He quickly apologized to Dean and then explained carefully: "Your Highness Dean, this three-star membership is one of the membership levels of the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce. The lowest is one star and the highest is five stars. I am a one-star member. The threshold for a one-star member is to have accumulated transactions of one million gold coins with the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce. To become a three-star member, the most basic threshold is to have accumulated transactions of more than 100 million gold coins with the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce..."
"One hundred million gold coins!"
Dean couldn't help but exclaim.
It's not that he is making a fuss, but the number is indeed a bit exaggerated.
As the heir of the Sirius Empire, he has begun to slowly take over domestic affairs under the training of the old king and has a good understanding of gold coins.
For example, the one hundred countries only pay a few hundred million gold coins in taxes to the Sirius Empire every year. Adding the taxes paid by the Sirius Empire itself, the total is about one billion gold coins.
Ten billion gold coins in tax revenue a year sounds like a lot, but their Sirius Empire is so big and they have many places to spend money. Although they don't fight wars very often, they never stop training and recruiting soldiers, which is a huge expense.
In addition, there may be occasional natural disasters or man-made disasters, and the country may be in a loss-making state at the end of the year, and it will need to use money from the national treasury to supplement it. The treasury of the Sirius Empire has money, but it is all saved up year after year.
Now that he heard that the threshold for becoming a three-star member was to trade more than 100 million gold coins with the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce, he suddenly became a little uneasy.
Because he just heard clearly that the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce has five levels of members, above three stars there are four stars, five stars! Could it be that four stars is the threshold for a billion transactions, and five stars is the threshold for a billion transactions?
Dean's face turned serious.
He felt that he and even his father had underestimated the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce!
If we follow the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce's standard, with their Sirius Empire's annual tax revenue, they would barely be able to qualify for a four-star membership?
Since the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce has come up with a membership system, there must be someone who can achieve it, otherwise it would be meaningless. In other words, there may be four-star or even five-star members in the current Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce! There may even be quite a few! These four- and five-star members can trade so many gold coins with the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce, so they should not be much weaker than the Sirius Empire...
Dean's face became much more serious. He thought to himself: This is important information. I must report it to my father later! At this moment, a young male voice suddenly came from the door.
"If you have come from afar, you are a guest. Now that you have met, we are destined to meet. How about I treat you to a simple meal together? Would you please do me the honor?"
After hearing this, Bennett instantly showed a look of surprise. Three Stars boss, he really wanted to have dinner with him. However, he did not forget who was the boss, and quickly looked at Dean.
Dean thought for a moment and took a deep breath:
"good!"
