Chapter 230: Not enough tricks!
Ryan tried not to laugh out loud. Guanhai City actually paid to hire an undercover agent.

He originally wanted the players to sneak into Guanhai City, so he specially prepared a lot of rhetoric to dispel the suspicion of the two directors. As a result, before he even said a few words, they couldn't wait to hire the players.

Isn't it said that businessmen are always shrewd and cautious? Why are they so eager?

Ryan couldn't figure it out for a while, but he didn't know that the two directors also had their own considerations.

In their opinion, what Ryan said was very reasonable. In recent years, several great nobles in the north have been fighting against each other. In order to replenish their troops, they would even forcibly recruit Warcraft envoys and let them serve as cannon fodder on the battlefield.

Naturally, the Warcraft Envoys are not willing. They have gone through a lot of hardships to become Warcraft Envoys, and they certainly do not want to die on the battlefield.

But they were unable to resist the big nobles, so they were forced to leave their homes and come to the relatively stable south.

Although there are constant wars in the southern part of the kingdom, most of them are conquests between small lords, which is much safer than in the north.

Therefore, in the past two years, it is common to see Warcraft envoys wandering from the north in the south, especially Guanhai City. Most Warcraft envoys know this commercial city, and they all want to find a safe and profitable job in Guanhai City.

After all, the nobles in the south hired them to launch wars. Unlike Guanhai City, they only needed to escort goods and patrol and defend the city. This job was much safer than being a mercenary.

Guanhai City also welcomes all comers, and they are in need of Warcraft envoys to expand the size of the escort team.

Except for some Warcraft users who were used to freedom, the slightly stronger Warcraft users in nearby areas were hired by them. The remaining Warcraft users wanted to join the escort team even though they were struggling.

But their strength is not enough, and there are many bastards among them who became Warcraft users by subduing the Carp King. Naturally, the escort team cannot have such people.

Although the escort team has hired many Warcraft users in the past two years, there are still not enough manpower.

There was no way, there were monsters everywhere in the wild, and they couldn't spread animal repellent on every road. Doing so would be too expensive, and even a large business association could not afford it.

The security of merchants and goods can only be protected by the escort team. However, as the largest commercial city in the Kingdom of Arad, Guanhai City has to transport a large amount of goods every day, and the existing escort team cannot meet the demand for cargo transportation at all.

Not to mention that as the situation becomes increasingly chaotic, the danger of transporting goods is also increasing. The council has recently been considering whether to increase the number of Warcraft envoys to escort the goods, but the problem is that the escort team does not have that many people.

Therefore, the wandering Warcraft envoys from the north are a timely blessing for Guanhai City. The fact that they can escape from the war-torn north is enough to show that their strength meets the needs of the escort team, and the escort team will naturally take them into their pockets.

Both directors knew about the recruitment of Northern Warcraft Envoys into their own bodyguards, so they did not doubt Ryan's words.

As for why Ryan doesn't want these Warcraft users, it's better to explain. The nobles have always looked down on the Warcraft users. They only believe in their own knights. The Warcraft users are just consumables for the nobles and can be thrown away after use.

Ryan already had dozens of knights on his hands, so it was normal to look down on these Warcraft users. The two directors thought they had missed something.

If Ryan knew that he only said two sentences and made the two directors think so much, he would definitely sigh:

"With your brain power, it would be a pity not to be an author. I'll give you the pen and you can write the story!"

Although Ryan didn’t understand why the two directors were so eager to hire players, the money they sent to their door should not be wasted. He said to the two directors with a smile on his face:

"You also know that I am just the employer of these Warcraft users. I cannot order them to accept your employment, but it doesn't matter. I can help you convince them. I believe they will be happy to work in Guanhai City."

"And I heard them say that these dozens of Warcraft Envoys are just the vanguard, and there are a large number of Warcraft Envoys wandering from the north behind. You don't have to worry about insufficient manpower."

When the two directors heard that more Warcraft users were coming, their eyes suddenly lit up. It would be a great achievement for the Chamber of Commerce to recruit a large number of Warcraft users!

Locke and Gavin looked at each other in tacit understanding. According to Ryan, the Warcraft Messengers all know each other, so wouldn't they be able to bypass Ryan and contact other people through the Warcraft Messengers in front of them, so that they can save a lot of money? Agency fees.

But Ryan's next words broke their minds.

"I have already made an agreement with these Warcraft envoys to let the remaining Warcraft envoys come to Firefly Town to rest first. They also trust me and are willing to follow my suggestions."

The meaning of Ryan's words is very simple. If you want to hire Warcraft envoys, you can only go through Firefly Town. Don't try to engage in any crooked ways.

When the two directors heard this, they also knew that Ryan had seen through them, so they had to give up the idea of ​​bypassing Ryan. They did not want to offend Ryan just to save some gold coins, and even gave away supplies and natural disasters. A few gold coins were nothing.

What's more, contacting those Warcraft envoys through Ryan can also bring them closer to Ryan, so why not do it.

So the two directors asked Ryan to help them hire these Warcraft users, and Ryan agreed immediately.

"Thank you very much for your help. Please rest assured that we will definitely pay you generous agency fees."

The two directors thanked Ryan repeatedly, making Ryan feel a little embarrassed.

He was clearly trying to trick them, yet they were still saying thank you to him.

But when he thought about the torture and abuse the merchants would do to Pokémon, Ryan felt that he had not tricked them enough, so he had to find a way to trick them again.

After taking the two directors on a general tour of Firefly Town, Ryan led them to the reception room of the castle.

He called to the servant to serve tree juice for the two of them, and then said apologetically:
"Sorry, there is no tea in the castle, so I can only serve you two juice. Please don't dislike it."

Locke heard the words and immediately said: "Lord Ryan, you are serious. Juice is no worse than tea. I personally like to drink juice, but as a distinguished baron, you really need some tea to entertain other distinguished guests."

"So I plan to prepare some tea leaves and tea trees for you when I go back, so that you will have enough tea leaves to entertain your guests."

Ryan raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Oh? Thanks a lot to Director Locke. I wonder how much it costs to buy tea leaves and tea trees?"

Locke pretended to be angry and said: "Why did Mr. Lane say that? It's just some tea leaves and tea trees. It's nothing compared to the friendship between us. They are all gifts from me to you. I will bring them to you in the next transaction." .”

Seeing that Locke was so good at things, Ryan couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.

Not bad, not bad. He is worthy of being a director of the Chamber of Commerce. He has a strong ability to adapt to the changing circumstances.

Gavin immediately became anxious when he saw this. What do you mean by bringing it over for the next transaction? You are tacitly admitting that I am out, right?
Isn't it just some tea? It seems like someone doesn't have any.

"Sir Ryan, our Blue Ocean Chamber of Commerce can also provide you with tea leaves and tea trees. In addition, we can also give you a Horsby pot. The black tea poured from it has a unique aroma and taste, which you will definitely like. "

Gavin spoke.

Locke was so angry when he heard this that he almost cursed. Everyone in your Blue Ocean Chamber of Commerce is a scholar, right?Forget about poaching us, do you even have to learn how to flatter us?
He glared at Gavin, but Gavin ignored him.

Locke could only bite his back molars and said: "Although the tea in the Horrible Pot tastes good, it will cause physical discomfort. Does Director Gavin want Mr. Ryan to be harmed?"

Gavin replied calmly: "Only drinking too much tea from the Horrible Pot will cause physical discomfort. You don't think Lord Ryan doesn't know such a simple piece of information, right? Not everyone is as uneducated as you."

Ryan was a little embarrassed when he heard this. He really didn't know much about the Weisi Pot of tea. He only knew its general appearance. It was said that there were two forms: genuine and fake.

But looking at Locke's speechless look, he knew that Gavin was right. As long as he didn't drink too much tea from the Horrible Pot, it would not cause harm to the body. He really wanted to taste the black tea poured from the Horrible Pot. "Ahem, there is no need to argue, two directors. I will never let you down. Whether it's a tea tree or a pot of horror, I will take good care of them."

Ryan said with a smile, he accepted gifts from both chambers of commerce and would never favor one over the other.

The two directors also knew that it was not the right time to argue, so they could only suppress their dissatisfaction and exchange a few polite words with Ryan.

When the time was almost up, Locke took the lead in inviting Ryan:
"Lord Ryan, our Yaojin Chamber of Commerce sincerely invites you to join the Chamber of Commerce. As long as you are willing to join, we will give you maximum support to help you clear away the surrounding forces and become the overlord of the southeast region."

Gavin also said similar words to Locke, but he just invited Ryan to join on behalf of the Blue Ocean Chamber of Commerce.

Faced with the invitations from the two chambers of commerce, Lane refused without hesitation.

When he was weak, he was unwilling to join the Chamber of Commerce and was restricted by them, let alone now, and his next target is Guanhai City. How could he sign a non-aggression contract with them?

Although the two directors had long been mentally prepared for Ryan's unwillingness to join the Chamber of Commerce, they still felt disappointed after seeing Ryan's decisive refusal.

It seemed that it was impossible for them to win over Ryan to the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and they lost the opportunity to make meritorious deeds.

The only good thing is that other chambers of commerce can't win over Ryan, and they are back on the same starting line.

The two directors couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief in their hearts. No matter what, as long as they didn't let the Blue Ocean (Yaojin) Chamber of Commerce draw Ryan into the Chamber of Commerce, then their visit would not be considered a failure.

The rest depends on whether they can reach other cooperation with Ryan.

So Gavin immediately asked:

"Master Ryan, I heard that you have two very powerful potions. I wonder if you can let me see them."

Upon hearing this, Ryan first glanced at Locke with interest, then ignored Locke's pleading eyes and said to Gavin with a smile:
"of course can."

Ryan took out the good wound medicine and antidote, handed it to Gavin, and introduced to him the effects of the two medicines.

Gavin briefly looked at the potion, and then said to Ryan:
"What two magical potions, Lord Ryan. On behalf of the Blue Sea Chamber of Commerce, I request to trade these two potions with you."

"Oh? Director Gavin, don't you try the effects of these two potions first?" Ryan asked curiously.

Gavin shook his head: "No need to try, I believe Lord Ryan will not lie to me."

Locke rolled his eyes when he heard this. Of course you don't need to try it. I'm afraid the undercover agent has already told you the test results of the two medicines.

He quickly said to Ryan:

"Lord Ryan, we have already signed a pharmaceutical trading contract, you can't forget our Yaojin Chamber of Commerce!"

Ryan pretended to be suddenly enlightened and said:

"Yes, yes, I almost forgot about this. Sorry, Director Gavin. I have negotiated with Director Locke in advance and signed a contract. Although the contract does not require me not to trade with other people, I can't abandon them either. .”

Gavin thought he was out of luck after hearing the first half of the sentence, but then he heard Ryan say that there was no monopoly agreement in the contract, which made Gavin extremely happy.

Is there such a good thing?Is the person who signed the contract a fool? He didn't even write a monopoly contract.

Gavin said to Ryan excitedly:

"Sir Ryan, you may not know much about the contract. As long as the contract does not stipulate that you cannot sell to others, then you can trade with us. Commodity trading is based on the highest bidder, so don't have any psychological burden."

Ryan looked hesitant: "Is that so? But"

Seeing that Ryan was moved, Gavin immediately hit the rails while the iron was hot:

"Now that you have three towns, you will need to spend a lot of money to develop the territory in the future. Even if you don't think about yourself, you must also think about the civilians under your rule. They will definitely want the territory to develop better."

Look, this person is very talkative. He directly said that the price increase was for the sake of the common people, giving Ryan a step up.

Ryan naturally walked down the steps and said: "What Director Gavin said makes sense. I do bear the expectations of the majority of the people in the territory. In this case, I can only feel sorry for Director Locke, but you still have a chance. If you bid with Director Gavin Still, I will still trade potions with you."

Locke looked at the apology on Ryan's face and felt bitter in his mouth.

He couldn't even get in a word just now and could only watch Ryan and Gavin perform here. Now Ryan said that he would give him a chance, but Locke, who had not received the president's permission, did not dare to raise the price too high.

Both the president and him thought that the pharmaceutical transaction was a sure thing, and of course they would not give him the power to renegotiate the price.

But Gavin was different. He was fully prepared as soon as he saw him. He had received the president's instructions. How could he compete with him?

Sure enough, as soon as Gavin came up, he raised the price of the two medicines by one gold coin. The good medicine cost three gold coins a bottle, and the antidote medicine cost two gold coins a bottle.

Even though it was only one gold coin, each transaction required hundreds of more gold coins. Locke really couldn't make the decision and could only let Gavin steal the potion transaction.

Looking at Gavin's proud smile, Locke sighed inwardly.

It's over now. Not only did he fail to bring Ryan into the Chamber of Commerce, but he also lost his pharmaceutical cooperation. He will definitely be punished by the chairman when he returns, and it is difficult to keep his position as director.

However, this cannot be blamed on others. He was too careless, did not restrict Ryan in the contract, and underestimated the determination of the Blue Ocean Chamber of Commerce to cooperate with Ryan.

At this price, the Blue Ocean Chamber of Commerce will definitely not make much money, and may even lose money. After all, their pharmaceutical trading channels are far inferior to their own chamber of commerce.

But they are still willing to give it a try. They can only say that they are indeed the largest chamber of commerce in Guanhai City. It is not easy for the Yaojin Chamber of Commerce to catch up with the opponent.

Seeing Locke's lost look, Ryan had other thoughts in his mind.

How could he let one Blue Ocean Chamber of Commerce dominate? It would be interesting to have two chambers of commerce fight.

Since the Lanhai Chamber of Commerce has been given an opportunity to attack the pharmaceutical industry of the Yaojin Chamber of Commerce, it must also give the Yaojin Chamber of Commerce the power to fight back.

He remembered that the main business of the Blue Ocean Chamber of Commerce was Pokémon and Warcraft equipment. He couldn't sell Pokémon and he didn't have Warcraft equipment, but he had better props than Warcraft equipment.

Ryan touched the elf ball on his waist, with a meaningful smile on his face.

　Don’t worry, everyone. Selling them Poké Balls is not to help the enemy, but to deceive them. You should be able to guess how to deceive them. After all, it has been introduced in the previous article.
