Chapter 74: Lastina's Joining
Lastina King.
She is the daughter of the president of a Chamber of Commerce who is ranked among the best even in the Human Central Empire.
The family played a huge role in resource integration and transportation in the battle against the Demon King more than ten years ago. They contributed to the battle against the Demon King and gained credit, thus transforming from traditional merchants to nobles.
But frankly speaking, the process of this family becoming a noble was not particularly smooth. Of course, if Lastina King married the youngest earl. It would be considered a success recognized by the old nobles. Become a family. Officially transform from a merchant to a person in power.
For this family, it is probably a very critical step, but from the current situation, their daughter is not very cooperative.
Isn't this nonsense?
If it is really that important, Moher doesn't think that someone like Lastina King, who can use magic but is far from being powerful, can easily escape, even if she is the eldest lady - the same is true. The other party can run to this Sim City. To put it bluntly, someone must have deliberately let him out.
Otherwise, how could such a thing happen?
Then the meeting between this girl and them seemed a little strange.
"You also heard our conversation, Miss Lastina."
Moher looked at the woman with long golden hair with some natural curls in front of him, and swept her over with a scrutinizing gaze: "Mr. Doro decided to make a certain deal with you. You are also helped by us. Don't you plan to make some concessions?"
Lastina looked around. She saw three people present, a decadent uncle, a young girl, and a woman who looked about the same age as her but had a very vulgar figure... old, weak, sick and disabled... but inexplicably made people feel that they didn't dare to provoke them. Since the other party knew his identity and dared to do such a thing, I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with.
She finally calmed down and forced a smile on her face: "As you all know, I ran away from home because of a quarrel with my family about marriage. Even if you want to do business with me, I'm afraid I can't do it. The Chamber of Commerce will not obey my orders at all. What I did must have made my father very angry."
She didn't know what extent the other party knew, so she could only tell the truth: "If your request is about the Xunjin Chamber of Commerce, even killing me will not help."
"Don't be so anxious, Miss Lastina, since she is a noble lady who ran away, she should have some money on her, right?"
"...Some." Lastina couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Did these people want to take all her money and force her to do something shameful to make money for them?
Many bad pictures flashed through her mind, and her face turned pale.
Moher smiled and said to Rose, "Rose, the great Miss Lastina King is here. Don't you want to open two bottles of our newly brewed wine to welcome her?"
Rose immediately followed Moher's instructions, took two bottles of newly brewed wine from the cabinet next to her, took out the wine glass, poured the wine to sober her up, and then respectfully brought it over.
Lastina was a little wary.
But she soon realized that it was meaningless even if she was on guard. After all, if the other party wanted to do something, they could just force it. There was no need to drug her or anything like that.
"Please taste it. This is our own brew."
Lastina took a sip and nodded: "The flavor is quite good. It tastes much better than I expected."
In other words, it barely caught the eye of this young lady and could be made into a product to be sold to the nobles. Moher then asked: "If I let you name the price, how much would you name it?"
This question entered the field that Lastina was good at. She was no longer timid, but said confidently: "If it is such a drink, my price will not exceed two silver coins. Your cost is at most fifty copper coins."
Doro and Rose looked at Moher. They had not calculated the cost. Perhaps only Moher knew this situation.
Moher nodded slightly.
"If I find a gold merchant to sell it, I can raise the price to two gold coins. As you can see, the value difference is a hundred times. The value of wine is never in itself. Of course, if you are talking about the elves' 'spiritual wine', that is another matter."
He really knows business.
Moher showed a satisfied expression. She took two steps back: "I'll leave this to you, Doro. Rose and I will do something to attract customers and sell today's wine. The factors that may ruin the business are gone. Don't you have a deal to discuss?"
Then she took Rose away.
——
"Lord Mohe, aren't you afraid that Doro will make a deal that is not in your favor?"
"It doesn't affect anything. Let's not talk about this for now. Since you have changed into this dress, do you see this sign? Hold it up later."
Rose took the sign handed over by Mohe and saw the words on it: "Wine made by a girl like me with my feet~ Welcome everyone to taste~"
She
was immediately full of black lines: "Lord Mohe, are you serious?"
"You think I'm kidding, you see I've changed into clothes~ and I also have a brand."
She took out a brand that was exactly the same as Rose's.
Rose realized that Mohe was also wearing a maid outfit. This person likes this kind of clothes very much, and sometimes wears them in the mansion, so no one cares too much. Now that I think about it, it is indeed not very appropriate.
"Are you sure that people will buy this kind of clothes instead of being despised? It's stepped on by people... It makes people feel disgusted at the thought, right?"
"That's why I asked you to wear stockings?"
"It has nothing to do with stockings, right?!"
Moher said with his hands on his hips, "Didn't you hear what Lastina said? The value of alcohol is not in the alcohol itself, but in other things. It should be said that you are a veteran businessman. You immediately woke me up. In terms of doing business, humans still know a lot - don't worry, although I am not so proficient in business, I understand humans. Just go to the street with me and hold a sign, and lead people to the door of the store first."
Rose hesitated, but she knew that this demon king would give people room to refuse even when he was joking. It was hard for her to imagine what the reputation of the so-called degenerate wine would become.
But...
How many perverts are there in this world?
Rose was stunned.
She knew that her current body was still very beautiful, and that Moher was also petite and cute, but she didn't expect that the two of them could attract so many people just by standing on the street. The burning gazes of those people made her a little scared. If it weren't for her strong strength, she would have doubted whether she would be treated excessively.
Mohe calmly led many customers to the store.
Then he started selling wine.
Lastina just said that it would not be more than two silver coins, but Mohe sold it for three silver coins.
Everyone seemed to think it was not expensive.
Rose was a little uneasy. She whispered in Mohe's ear: "Lord Mohe, isn't this considered fraud? We didn't even use our feet. It's a normal way of brewing wine..."
"What did you say? Rose? In order to thank everyone for coming today, I decided to give everyone the socks I'm wearing now? Only those who buy wine will have the opportunity to get it?"
"?!"
"Me, me! I must be the next one!"
Business became even more popular.
The wine brought to the city today was sold out in an instant. Mohe's small income was six or seven gold coins - this part of the income was quite considerable. At least in a place like Baixi Town, almost no one could earn six or seven gold coins a year, although it was not a big amount for nobles or some businessmen. But as a start, it was already quite good.
Of course, it was not as good as the various gold items looted from Lisiduowei.
If those things were sold, they could sell for more, but Moher could only melt them into gold coins for use.
But Moher was very happy.
She looked at Rose: "Don't be so depressed, I didn't really ask you to take off your socks. The socks you gave out were not worn, were they?"
"But those customers will think I wore them!"
"What impact does this have?"
"Isn't this also cheating?"
Moher spread his hands and said as a matter of course: "What else? But I hope you call it a clever business method."
The devil is indeed born evil. Even if he does human things, he will subconsciously do evil things!
But Rose did not have the position to blame Moher.
"You two, have you talked?"
Moher looked at Doro and Lastina, who had already finished their talks.
"I heard that you are also a businessman." Lastina's expression brightened up a lot. "To be honest, I have some experience in business. I have been trained by my father before, so I am pretty good at it. If you don't mind, just give me a bowl of rice and I can work under you."
Of course, Mohe couldn't just give the other party a bowl of rice. Just like Doro and the others, Mohe also paid them normally. As for the transaction part, it's another matter.
"What do I need to do? Help you hide your identity? Or do you have other ambitions?"
"If you can help me cover up my identity, that would be great."
Mohe nodded: "This is a very simple thing. Especially for me. I happened to meet you here today. It must be fate. Since we have this fate, and Mr. Doro has helped you, why not do more? Come back with us!"
Fate's arrangement - what is God thinking?
Is it because Xia Di asked Him to come last time, so He plans to do something?
It's really annoying.
