The Great Seminary

Chapter 109 Business
Zhang Gui had a premonition that on the mainland, the Yuanshan Empire's Changsheng Tiemu had already become the dominant force.

If I continue to follow his pace, I will just be fighting against a monkey of unknown level under his command.

Only if 'you go your way and I go mine', without being disturbed by external affairs, and continuing to arrange according to our own layout and strategy, will we be more likely to create something new.

That is why, when the situation in the southern part of the Ming and Song dynasties underwent major changes, they still came to the Xihe people's territory to operate.

In his eyes, a poor child from a decadent city, with a face as smiling as a flower, stopped a seemingly noble foreign gentleman.

There is obviously no other possibility except earning a little hard-earned money.

So he didn't get angry and stopped calmly.

Seeing this, the blond boy smiled even brighter and sold his product in a very flattering manner:
"My lord, this city has just experienced a cruel tragedy.

Everywhere was covered in the dirty blood and bacteria left behind by the cannibals.

Maybe you need a silk handkerchief that has been smoked for 49 days in a fluid of expensive oriental herbs.

Protect your nasal cavity and your health."

"Sounds good." Zhang Gui thought for a moment and took out a fine pill and a half-eagle silver coin from his handbag.

“But as a prepared businessman, I only do business with people who have good vision these days.

This pill or the silver dollar, which one do you want?"

When the poor are still starving, how can they have the leisure to entertain themselves with the rich who are full and having nothing better to do?

Besides, it’s just a half-eagle coin.

The financial resources Zhang Gui displayed were indeed meager.

The blond boy cursed in his mind but didn't say it out loud.

But his expression became noticeably drier, “Young sir, this handkerchief of mine is real chiffon.

Even if it were pawned, it would still be worth an eagle dollar."

"Oh." Zhang Gui smiled awkwardly, and this time he took out a large silver coin worth five eagles, "That should be enough, right?

In addition to the handkerchief, give me a Paladin Bay 'Tree Knight Shortsword' cigar."

Five eagle yuan can be converted into two taels and five cents of silver.

The fair price for a Paladin Bay 'Tree Knight Dagger' cigar sold on the streets of Civilized Pioneer City is two and a half eagles.

The remaining two and a half silver dollars were enough to buy a chiffon handkerchief that was of unknown origin, which was a pretty good price.

So Zhang Gui, the "young gentleman", turned back into the "honourable lord" in the mouth of the blond boy, and he even lit a cigar for him personally.

He continued his sales pitch more respectfully:
"You are here to do business with the Britannia merchants in Silverfish Street, right?

They are now almost like the Gauls, and they all pay attention to style.

If you could hold Xue Weisong’s cane in your hand, you would definitely…”

"Tacia, go away and stop hanging around my guests."

A slightly tired and hoarse voice came from upstairs not far away.

Zhang Gui looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the windshield was open on the second floor of an office two buildings away.

Porizar, with whom he had made an agreement, was leaning forward with a cup of coffee in his hand.

The blond boy was very dissatisfied because he felt that his business was being disrupted.

Trying hard to control his emotions, he tilted his head and said to Pollis:
"Good afternoon, Ms. Pollis, I was just talking to this..."

"He's 'Winter is Coming.'

A few days ago, the sea froze at the dock, and the South Red Moon God's creation was almost crushed by a single blow. Winter is coming."

The blond boy stopped talking and said with a dry laugh:
"Are you kidding, Ms. Pollis?"

Pollis replied expressionlessly:
"He was an Asian man with medium-length hair, young, narrow eyes, and not very good-looking.

Taixia, your brother should have told you about these characteristics.

It's just because you think you are the boss's biological brother that you turn a deaf ear to his words."

Taixia's face suddenly became embarrassed, and she gave Poriza an unnecessary explanation:
"Ms. Polliza, I simply wanted to recommend a decent cane to the powerful Lord Winter is Coming.

There is no other meaning at all." Then he bowed to Zhang Gui again,
"Excuse me for disturbing you, Your Excellency Winter is Coming, thank you for your five eagle coins.

I will definitely give you a discount next time we meet."

Then he turned and ran.

Looking at his hurried back, Pollis suddenly shouted:

"Taixia, guess why a man so powerful that he can snipe divine weapons would mess around with a slick and frivolous gangster.

You almost became a mouse in the claws of a vicious mountain cat.

Haven’t you raised a cat before? Just imagine what the ending would be.

Humph, you clearly have the opportunity to escape from this shitty life, but you still indulge in depravity.

Don't wait until the day comes when it's too late to regret!"

Taixia paused, turned around and bowed deeply to Pollis, then ran even faster and disappeared at the end of the street.

At the same time, Pollis's figure leaning out of the window also disappeared.

Zhang Gui continued walking forward and came to the window.

There is a row of signs hanging next to the door of the office building.

In fact, the largest and newest one is the "Black Lion Trading Agency Company".

Pushing the door open, you will see a guard room shared by all tenants.

A strong young man records and an ordinary-looking middle-aged woman entertains the guests.

But at this time, Salisbury had already come down the stairs to greet Zhang Gui in person.

Without even making a record, the two of them came to Black Lion's office.

The decoration here is quite elegant and all the furniture is new.

Only the boss's office chair with wheels looks quite old.

There are five employees in the office.

Two plump middle-aged women were mopping the floor over and over again.

A girl with glasses was writing something intently.

Another girl of her age was preparing coffee.

There was also a girl next to me who was operating two ovens, one for baking cookies and the other for baking bread.

Strangely, even though the fire was glaring in the sunlight, the temperature in the room was still quite cool.

"Please take a seat, Mr. Yang."

As the host, Perry asked Zhang Gui to sit down first before he sat down himself.

The girl who prepared the coffee immediately brought it over, "Please enjoy it, Mr.

I hope you like the coffee I made.

Bitter yet sweet, with an endless aftertaste. "

Zhang Gui felt the girl's tone of voice was a little strange, but his upbringing made him smile politely. "That sounds great. Thank you very much."

At this time, Pollis explained expressionlessly:
"She is Sally Black Lion Halifah, my biological sister and my only relative.

But I still hate her pranks.

Sally, collect all your clones and go back upstairs to your room to practice meditation.

I have something serious to discuss with my guest.”

The coffee girl nodded obediently.

"Okay, sister, but can you wait until I finish baking the pastries?"

"Ok."

"Then can Mr. Yang sign an autograph for me? You know I admire him very much recently."
