Black Iron Crown

Chapter 439: Serve softly

"Damn it! Our linen can't be sold anymore!"

In "The King's Wardrobe", six branch managers gathered together again.

They themselves are big businessmen who unite and monopolize the entire northern linen market, so they are very sensitive to some troubles.

"Yes, the Duke of Rainer finally shot us!" Russell said with a sullen face.

"This is also nothing we can do. What we did before was to rebel against Duke Rainer's behavior. It is normal for him to deal with us!" Old Battelle shook his head and said.

"You mean, the Leiner tool people already know that we did those things before?" a slightly younger asked, a little puzzled.

"Of course, you don't think that Duke Rainer knows nothing, do you?"

"He has mastered the entire Northern Territory's powerful lord. His intelligence capabilities are absolutely beyond our imagination. What's more, once the wool cloth appears the biggest loss is only us. He doesn't even need to investigate to guess that we do those things. of!"

"But... if he really knew that we did it, he should have sent an army to deal with us long ago?" This young businessman has contacted many lords, and most of them did not fulfill their wishes and used them at will. The merchandise of the army.

"Of course it's impossible. If he uses commercial means to defeat us, it is logical, but once the army is used, it is a different situation. What will the rest of the businessmen think? Even if he changes part of the policy, it will be for all businessmen. It's a concern!"

"I can see that the Duke of Rainer is a very ambitious person, and he will not change the current good business situation at will for us!"

Old Battelle took the trouble to explain to the rest of the people.

"In fact, if we hadn't annoyed him for obstructing the production of woollen cloth, he wouldn't even put us in his eyes!"

Now Battelle has regretted it. If they could see from the beginning that woolen cloth has such a big advantage that it can be sought after by countless people, why would they hold the woolen cloth?

Isn’t it just that you don’t fully trust that wool cloth can completely replace linen, but it has the ability to compete with linen for the market?

If the old Battelle could find that wool cloth was a comprehensive advantage over linen cloth from the beginning, he would definitely not continue to be incomplete and guard the wool cloth.

They are not the members of the "king's wardrobe" in the imperial capital. Those people make their fortunes by using wool cloth. The goods and raw materials hoarded are measured by thousands of gold coins. They are just a small mess. That's it.

However, the ship is small and good to turn around. The goods and raw materials they hoard are not too much. Even the transformation is only a loss of about a hundred gold coins, and it will not make them bankrupt.

But the people in the imperial capital were different. The 10,000-ton giant ship did not turn so well. Once they transformed, all the goods hoarded in their hands became waste, and the loss was not something anyone could bear.

"Then... what should we do now?" the young businessman asked before.

"What else can we do?" Old Battelle sighed and said helplessly: "Let's go ask the Duke of Rainer for forgiveness, we really can't continue to compete with him!"

"I didn't expect the advantage of wool cloth to be so great, it completely defeated our linen cloth as soon as it appeared!"

Although the less you buy, the less you lose, but the failure to sell the goods still makes these people feel sad.

What's more, all the things done before and the money paid are all useless now.

Russell frowned and asked, "But if we confess our mistakes with him now, can he let us go? Will he take this opportunity to drive us to death?"

"Who knows, let everyone do everything, but I think he might not do it. He might like our previous commercial channels!" Battelle shook his head uncertainly, and he had no idea.

In order to continue to survive, they found Reiner's business chief Ezehi that afternoon.

"What can you do for me?" Ezexi also gradually began to value his image, and he could no longer look like that when he first met Reiner, or in other words, he didn't look like that in front of outsiders.

"Uh... It's this Lord Ezehi. We may have done some stupid things before and tried to fight against Lord Duke's policy. I hope you can help us convey our thoughts. If we can meet Lord Duke, then It could not be better!"

With that said, Battelle took out a small purse and slipped it into Ezehi's hand quietly.

Ezexi closed the purse skillfully, and again showed a wretched smile that could not be concealed on his face, but he quickly converged, and said with an official expression: "Okay, I know what you mean. But I can’t call the shots in this matter. I have to ask Master Duke what I mean!”

"It should be! It should be!" Battelle nodded quickly.

As the saying goes, the county magistrate is not as good as the current one. Although Ezehi's rights all come from Leiner, Leiner does not directly intervene in specific commercial arrangements much after all, so they dare to stumble upon Leiner behind his back.

If it weren't for this time, Leiner knew at best that there were such a group of cloth merchants in his own territory, and would not consider them at all.

"Bangbangbang..." Reiner's study was knocked, and Ezehi walked in.

"Are you okay?" Rainer raised his head and rubbed his eyes.

"It's such a great and benevolent Duke!" Ezexi stepped forward and said with a smile: "The previous "King's wardrobe" tried to obstruct your plan. Now they have realized their mistakes and hope to get along with you. You admit your mistakes in person!"

"When do you think you will meet them?" Hearing Ezehi's tone~lightnovelpub.net~Leiner raised his head and looked at Ezehi with a smile.

"Let's say, how much did you charge them?" Rainer tapped the table lightly, putting pressure on Ezehi with his eyes.

After hearing Rainer's words, a fine cold sweat appeared on Ezehi's forehead for an instant.

As soon as he wanted to say something, Rainer waved his hand and said, "Don't think about arguing, I believe there is nothing to hide from me if I want to know!"

Ezexi's heart became more sad, he thought of the all-pervasive intelligence personnel under Logan's command.

So he said frustratedly: "Well, Lord Duke, you are really wise and wise. There is nothing in the world that can be hidden from you. I have collected five gold coins from them..."

Rainer pondered for a while, and then said: "I won't punish you this time. You can do it yourself in the future. Try not to happen like this!"

"Also... let them come to see me at noon tomorrow, the meeting place is in my study!" Rainer waved his hand to indicate that Ezehi could leave.
