Heroes of the Invincible Knight

The fourth prince's full name is Paley Charman. He is not outstanding among Ren's sons, and he is very low-key compared to the high-profile prince who is expanding his power in the city guard and local garrison. , the sense of existence is very weak.

Li Cha didn't notice anything special about this fourth prince at first, and even thought he was annoying.

But starting from that box of gems, Li Cha had a new understanding of the fourth prince,

Giving gifts should focus on one that suits one's preferences, and those who send miscellaneous things are on the first floor, those who directly send to Jinnar are counted on the second floor, and those who know that Richard is studying ancient books recently are on the third floor, such as Pa Prince Lei, who directly sends the gemstones Li Cha needs, is at least the fifth floor.

This shows that the fourth prince at least has a strong intelligence channel to find out that Li Cha's subordinates are looking for such things as collection.

There must be a strong force that can collect these gems immediately and send them to the king's capital. According to the urine nature of the system, crystals need magic energy crystals to be recognized. These gems cannot be just ordinary gems.

Certainly not some high-end goods, at least Li Cha can feel a trace of cool energy flow when touching these gems, which has a feeling that ordinary gems do not have.

…

"His Royal Highness Paley, the Marquis of Hunter invites you to have afternoon tea together in the afternoon."

"Well, you ask the Hunter family to go back and tell my brother-in-law that I will be there on time."

"yes"

Paley straightened his collar carefully in front of the bronze mirror, looking very calm,

But suddenly a cynical smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, breaking the calm temperament he had just created.

"Hey, you guessed it right."

…

Richard and Paley met in a high-end restaurant in Wangdu. This restaurant adopts a reservation system, and only people with certain status are eligible to enter the consumption, so as to avoid the situation of complicated personnel. This marketing method is in Later generations can also be regarded as one of the common ways to improve the force.

The prices of things in this kind of place are naturally ridiculously high. You can taste something fresh in this restaurant, such as sand lizard meat from the west and giant sea clams from the south.

In Li Cha's opinion, the only fly in the ointment of this restaurant is that although the ingredients are rich and fresh, the method is too simple, either roasting or steaming, and these expensive spices and high-quality raw materials are suspected of being wasted.

"Oh, brother-in-law, you are so polite. You only invited me to dinner yesterday, and today I'm treating you again. I said that one day I really have to invite you to Liuying Street, otherwise I will feel sorry for always asking you to treat me."

Richard and Paley are sitting opposite each other in an elegant seat of the restaurant. There are a lot of dishes on the table, and Paley is eating happily on his stomach, without any royal reservations.

"No, no, it's just a meal."

Seeing Paley eating like a starved ghost reincarnated, Li Cha couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth slightly. The thick-skinned level of this guy really exceeded Li Cha's imagination.

Originally, Li Cha just asked him to have an afternoon tea, but he didn't expect that this guy didn't have lunch and came to the appointment on an empty stomach, abruptly turning the afternoon tea into a meal.

That is to say, Li Cha's financial resources are not generally strong, and he even made a small fortune recently.

The price of this restaurant, and according to Paley's way of eating, not to mention ordinary civilians, even ordinary nobles can't afford it.

"I invite His Highness Paley to come out this time, mainly because I want to ask His Highness Paley something."

Seeing that Paley had almost eaten, Li Cha finally spoke out his purpose.

"Alas, my brother-in-law called His Highness too far, didn't I tell you to call him fourth brother?"

"Well, fourth brother."

Although Li Cha's status and status have risen recently, his ability to beat snakes and sticks has not been left behind.

"What you want to ask is the cold spring gem?"

"Yes, I need a lot of cold spring gems here. I searched for a long time and found no clues. This time, my fourth brother just happened to send them. Can fourth brother tell me where I can get these cold spring gems?"

"This cold spring gemstone is a specialty of the southern islands. These cold spring gemstones are mainly distributed in Naga's territory. That is to say, fourth brother, I have some connections and can exchange some cold spring gemstones with Naga."

Everyone in the Golden Dragon Kingdom knows that the relationship between humans and the Naga clan is not good. Humans' exploration of the ocean is actually invading the Naga's territory.

Although the two sides did not have an all-out war like the orcs because of their different living environments, the conflicts were very frequent. There was very little normal trade, and there was not much communication between the two sides, mainly relying on knives to speak.

The meaning of Paley’s words is actually very obvious. I’ll tell you where it is and how it came from, but you have to know that this way is not extensive, even my own way. If you need it, you can’t bypass me.

"Then can you ask the fourth brother to help me get some cold spring gems?"

Li Cha never thought about finding the source of gems by himself. At least at this stage, his hands cannot reach the southernmost part of the kingdom, and it is difficult to find a way in a short time. It is best to buy directly from Paley. As a result, I was afraid that Paley would sit on the ground and raise the price, and making some irrelevant demands would make it difficult for him to do so.

"Since my brother-in-law needs it, I will definitely help him with all my strength, but I don't know how many cold spring gems my brother-in-law needs."

"At least 50 per month, how much it is, the fourth brother can tell you a price."

If you do business like Li Cha does, you have an obvious rigid demand, and let the other party set the price, you will probably lose everything.

But Li Cha and Paley are obviously not serious businessmen, and everyone knows some things well.

Since Paley can find out that Li Cha needs cold spring gems, if Li Cha tries to cover up his needs, he will fall behind. Why not openly ask for the price,

Li Cha is confident that Paley's purpose is not to use the cold spring gem to blackmail him. If his purpose is to make money, he will not come out to contact him in person, and directly ask the agency's chamber of commerce to come forward. Just beat yourself up.

Hearing Li Cha's quantity demand, Paley, who was full of confidence just now, frowned at this moment, and seemed to make up his mind after thinking for a long time.

"Fifty or fifty per month, I will definitely deliver it to my brother-in-law every month."

"Then thank you, brother four. I don't know what brother four needs?"

As soon as Li Cha said this, the atmosphere at the dinner table became subtle.

Paley's expression also became serious, which was rare, and Paley actually had a 70% shadow of Rennes in him.

Everyone knows that this is the meat of the show. If you pay, you will naturally ask for it. Paley is neither a saint nor Richard's long-lost biological father. Paying the price of fifty cold spring gems for a month is naturally not doing a good deed. of.

"I heard that my brother-in-law has a business called soap, which has just been opened in the capital recently. I will not argue with my brother-in-law here in the capital. Can you entrust me with the sales in the southern part of the kingdom? That's five cents."

"good."

"Then it's a pleasure to work with."

"Pleasant cooperation."

Li Cha agreed very decisively, and Paley's conditions were not bad, it could even be said to be very good.

It is impossible for Li Cha to eat all the soap business, and it will be a matter of time to find an agent in a different place.

Although Paley took 50% of the revenue, it was promoted through the commercial network that Paley had already established in the south, and the sales were completely through the channels of Paley's subordinates.

Soap basically costs nothing, which is a huge profit for Li Cha.

And Paley's most beautiful place is actually here. He knows very well that although he has the source of gemstones that Li Cha urgently needs, if he wants Li Cha to show his support for him on this condition impossible,

Instead of embarrassing everyone like this, it is better to take the path of cooperation,

Sometimes, long-term interests are the closest way to form an alliance. As long as a long-term commercial cooperation can be formed with Richard, even if Richard is not willing to easily stand in line, he will not have to support him for the sake of money.

From the current point of view, this Prince Paley is the one who hides the deepest among Ren's sons and is also the most skilled son.

Li Cha even suspected that this guy should have reached the knight rank long ago, but he has not made it public.

"Thank you brother-in-law for the hospitality today, and when Messiah is not around, I must invite you to Liuying Street to have a good time."

Paley, who had finished the conversation, returned to his nonchalant look.

Richard also gradually got used to Paley's appearance, and after paying the bill, he greeted Zebul at the door and left together.

"Brother-in-law, what do you think of the restaurant's taste?"

For some unknown reason, Paley asked a somewhat inexplicable question when they were leaving.

"not bad."

Li Cha still thought about it, and speaking from his conscience, this restaurant is actually not bad. Except for the monotonous approach, other aspects are very secure. It is worthy of being a high-end restaurant in the capital.

"Yeah, it's just not bad. If I hadn't eaten the food in your restaurant yesterday, I would be quite satisfied with my restaurant.

But now, it's a little bit off. I don't know if my brother-in-law can send someone to teach me. At worst, we will get a 50-50 share of the proceeds? "

Yes, it is possible. Compared with the deal reached by the two of them, the income of several restaurants is actually only a fraction.

And with the source of customers in this restaurant, Li Cha must have made a profit on the 50-50 split, but this guy actually took Li Cha to his own restaurant, ordered a lot of delicious dishes for Li Cha to treat?

The thick-skinned Li Cha even wanted to laugh...

In the end, I couldn't help but spit out two words:

"Bitch..."
