Things about the female knight in black stockings

"Do you need me to arrange for them to stay at your place for a few days and do some work that can smoothen the relationship for the sake of our happy cooperation?"

"Uh... That's no need. I'm a serious female knight, not that kind of person."

Valencia quickly recovered from the wonderful scenery she just saw:

"You'd better go ahead and tell me about the batch you're going to eat."

"Hmm... You refused this yourself, don't say I didn't give you a chance."

Yahiro smiled and took another sip of juice before continuing the previous topic:

"This kind of situation where big nobles buy certain materials wantonly, and material dealers take the opportunity to stock up and raise prices and finally make a small profit, has actually happened many times, and it is basically a victory for the merchants every time. After all, the nobles are more As a face-loving person, sometimes you would rather suffer a loss than lose face.

It's the same this time. The material dealers actually did some research before stocking up the goods and raising the price... They looked into Tia's liquidity and calculated that even if the price increased by about 10%, Tia would still be able to take advantage of the goods. That's what they do, and that's how they've always done it.

Unexpectedly, Tia suddenly stopped purchasing. The material dealers who took advantage of the channels to purchase and hoard the goods were dumbfounded, haha.

Afterwards, they all believed that they had misjudged Tia's demand for materials and considered themselves unlucky, but I had a different view. "

"uh-huh?"

Valencia raised her eyebrows curiously at the right time and continued to eat Yashiro's pastries, as if she wanted to eat up all the pastries from Yashiro's family.

"As you know, our family has a large business and has dealings with all aspects, and the Britannia family's industry is naturally no exception."

Yahiro chuckled and said:

"Unlike those material dealers who have insufficient information, when Tia purchased high-quality non-attributed magic crystals, I paid attention to the funds she transferred and the funds she prepared to transfer as soon as she bought them... Understanding this information is very important for our Nola Chamber of Commerce. It's not difficult to say.

So I know that Tia didn’t stop the acquisition just because her needs were met... The funds she mobilized at that time could completely eat up all the goods at a 15% premium. With the pride of a great noble, she shouldn’t have stopped the acquisition suddenly. Yes, but she did stop acquiring.

Then there are only two possible reasons.

One is that her research achieved a breakthrough overnight, and she really didn’t need any more material.

The second is that she has other directions that require more funds, and she cannot continue to make acquisitions knowing that she will lose a lot of money.

To be honest, I couldn't tell what the reason was at the time, and I hesitated for a while, but then your record on the front line came back, allowing me to make a complete decision... and rush to get that batch of goods before the material dealers reacted. All collected. "

"My... record on the front line?"

Valencia swallowed the pastry in her mouth, expressing her curiosity.

"Well, your record."

Yahiro smiled and nodded:

"Most others only noticed your glory in killing enemy commanders, but I noticed a business opportunity... You released a great witch from the underground ruins of the Desolate Ridge.

I can't guess the specific causes and consequences here, but I am almost certain that Tia stopped the acquisition before because you have other places that need money more... The gap in this money is huge, even with Brittany's Wealth in the Ya family is very tight, and you must find ways to earn it on your own.

According to our Chamber of Commerce's investigation, neither you nor Tia's business talents are high. So if you want to make a lot of money quickly, isn't there only one way? "

Chapter 148 Three-win cooperation

"Your Chamber of Commerce also investigated me...when?"

Valencia asked curiously.

"Let's start from the first time we work with you."

Yahiro chuckled, picked up a plate of cherry pudding from the coffee table, stuck out his tongue and licked the cherry around the pudding, then bit off the cherry part and began to taste it:

“This is also the practice of our Chamber of Commerce... For each collaborator, our Chamber of Commerce will conduct an investigation based on his identity, background, ability, etc.

Don't worry, it's not the kind of malicious investigation that is painstakingly looking for excuses... The focus of our investigation is the business talent of the collaborator and the way to make money that he may be good at. "

"Is that so..."

Valencia also picked up a plate of strawberry pudding and started licking it. Her tongue became even more powerful. With each lick, she could scrape off a large layer from the pudding and enter her mouth, just like a dog licking ice cream with its tongue. In just a few licks Just licked a plate of pudding:

"What is the result of your investigation on me?"

“Based on the comprehensive evaluation, it’s a promising future.”

Yahiro chuckled and replied:

"Your business ideas and business talents are only slightly better than ordinary people, but you have a kind of genius that is difficult to predict. Whenever you have a strong desire to make money, you can always invent from angles that ordinary people can't think of. Some new products...such as your popular dishes, such as the new pharmaceutical injection device you made before.

So after judging that you and Tia might be in need of money for some reason, I knew that a new product was about to be released.

The business philosophy of our NOLA Chamber of Commerce is to always be at the forefront of the market and never suppress new products and technologies for the sake of inherent interests. We are a firm technological innovator!

Therefore, I decisively ate the batch of high-quality non-attribute magic crystals and waited for you to come and find me.

I think you must not only be here to buy a batch of high-quality non-attributed magic crystals today, but you are also bringing new products that can make us all make money, right?my friend? "

"...You are really a profiteer, my friend."

Valencia finally couldn't help but sigh:

"You're still the kind of powerful profiteer who makes people hate you even though they know you're being plotted against."

"Thank you for the compliment, my friend."

Yahiro had just finished her cherry pudding at this time, and elegantly took out a hand towel and wiped her mouth:

"For us businessmen, the evaluation of profiteers is actually a compliment."

"Okay, okay, I admit that you won, dear Yahiro... I do have a new invention that I want to cooperate with you this time."

Valencia knew that she, a simple female knight, would definitely not be able to compete with a businesswoman. She was very good at fighting with her mouth, and she really couldn't fight with her mouth.

She finally stopped trying to eliminate the few desserts and pastries left on the coffee table. Instead, she took out two fully automatic stoves. One was a simplified version for ordinary use, and the other was ready to be sold to the nobles. Gorgeous luxury version.

Valencia just explained a few words briefly, and Yahiro's eyes brightened and he recognized the commercial value of this new invention.

Ordinary families can use it, restaurant chefs and adventurers will definitely like it, and nobles can also use it to show off, and it will even increase the price of fire-attribute magic crystals and heat-conducting slates.

In the eyes of professional businessmen like Yahiro, the economic benefits that a fully automatic stoveless stove can bring are not only the sales of this magic version of the induction cooker itself, but also drive many related industries. It is an invention with great potential for money!

Cooperation, must cooperate!

Yahiro immediately launched a financial offensive, trying to get the fully automatic stove-less technology in his hands at a price that almost knocked Valencia unconscious.

Valencia simply couldn't resist it, but she had to resist it... No matter what Yahiro said, the core skills must be mastered by herself!This is cooperation, not acquisition!Don't throw away long-term interests just because you're temporarily obsessed with gold coins.

Maybe it was really for the sake of being a friend, but it was more likely that Yahiro believed that there would be more room for cooperation with Valencia in the future.

Although she crushed the entire business negotiation and tested Valensa's bottom line from the very beginning, she did not suffer too much from Valensa.

After consultation, the two decided that the Nola Chamber of Commerce would be responsible for the raw material supply and finished product sales of the fully automatic stove, while Valencia and Tia would be responsible for the processing and manufacturing.

The Nola Chamber of Commerce will settle accounts with Valencia and the others based on the production volume. Regardless of the sales situation and whether the price of raw materials increases, it will not affect Valensa and the others' income.

It can be said that most of the initiative is held by the Nola Chamber of Commerce, but Valencia did some calculations and found that the net income would be higher than purchasing the raw materials for processing by herself and then entrusting the Nola Chamber of Commerce to sell them, and even entailed less risks.

Of course, Nola Chamber of Commerce will never lose money. It controls pricing and raw material procurement. If it operates well, it can even make a fortune on both ends.

This is a cooperation that can be considered a win-win-win situation, with Valencia winning once and Jahilo winning twice.

After the cooperation was settled, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became much more relaxed.

Yahiro asked the maids to bring new desserts and pastries to the coffee table, and chatted with Valencia while eating.

They talk about the most popular clothing and fashion, talk about some battle experiences, and also share some interesting things about getting along with their girlfriends.

During this period, several executives from the Nola Chamber of Commerce also came to bring various important documents for Yahiro to review and approve.

While working in Yahiro, Valencia ate desserts and pastries in silence by herself, and took a few glances at the Yanxiang Yanse novel with a large number of exquisite illustrations.

The whole day passed like this, and as the sun set, Valencia had lunch and dinner directly at Yahilo, eating a lot of expensive and delicious food before planning to say goodbye and leave.

"and many more."

But at this moment, Yahiro seemed to suddenly think of something. He picked up a women's bag with storage function and rummaged through it. He found a piece of coated paper that looked like an advertising leaflet and handed it to Valencia. In Sarah's hands:

"A business event in the American industrial country looks quite interesting. The next one will start next spring. Our NOLA Chamber of Commerce also wants to participate... Are you interested? I can be your signing Sponsor."

"America's business activities?"

Valencia's curiosity was aroused, and she looked at the advertising leaflet. At a glance, she saw the bold and bold title and the picture of a heroic short-haired woman holding a trophy and kissing gently.

[The third contestant duel competition is about to begin]

[Can the strongest duelist who has won two consecutive championships win three consecutive championships? 】

"this is……"

Valencia quickly scanned the advertising leaflet.

Isn't this just the club-style competitive league in the previous life?

Chapter 149 Dungeons and Competitive Games

Valensa didn't watch many competitive matches in her previous life. She was barely a pseudo-football fan who had watched some La Liga, Premier League and Champions League games.As for the NBA and various e-sports events, they are just laymen who know when to say "um" and "ah" when listening to other people chatting, and cloud viewers are not included.

America has held two competitive duels. The system is not as complete as Valencia's previous leagues, but it can still be considered decent.

There is no classification of Class A, Class B, or youth competition. Everyone is treated equally. Duelists signed and sponsored by various chambers of commerce fight in the arena. The winner gets points. After the six-month qualifying competition, eight are selected based on the points. Strong, go to the finals.

The reason why Yahiro calls it a commercial activity is that there is no way to participate in this competition alone, and there is no concept of a club. If you want to participate, you must sign a contract with a certain chamber of commerce.

The strength of the contestants is limited to below the Glory level, and there are various other restrictions. They can even ban each other's opponent's skills in the finals, which looks quite interesting.

To be honest, Valencia was quite excited. If she hadn't been busy with a lot of things at the underground ruins and probably didn't have time, she might have agreed.

However, she did not refuse directly, saying that she was indeed interested, and if time allowed, she might go and have fun.

"No problem, that's easy to say."

Yahiro smiled at this and said:

"Anyway, our Chamber of Commerce is just for fun and fun. During this period, I will recruit some other duelists to sign up for training. If you want to come and play, you can come to me at any time. You can also bring friends to play. It will be officially held in the qualifiers next spring. It’s too late before it starts.”

"Okay, then it's settled."

. . . . .

When Valencia left the Nora Chamber of Commerce headquarters and returned to the War College, it was completely dark.

She first went to the girls' dormitory of the Command Department to try to find Tia. As expected, Tia hadn't come back yet. She was probably still at the underground ruins, refining new equipment under the guidance of Frigia.

Valensa herself did not have the ability to teleport to fixed points over long distances, so she could not go to the underground ruins, so she returned to her dormitory and searched around the pool next to the dormitory.

She planned to find Mr. Fishing, who was actually one of the three giants of the Food Association, to discuss selling information.

But the fishing master didn't fish here today. Instead, Meludi, Giroud and Harry started fishing in vain under the moonlight, which made Valencia feel dizzy.

Valencia did not disturb the three people and left the school again. Based on her memory when she followed the bald man to find the fishing master a few mornings ago, she searched in sequence at several ponds near the college that were suitable for fishing.

When she found the sixth pond, Valencia found her target...not only the fishing master, but also the bald principal.

The fishing man was still sitting leisurely by the water, holding a fishing rod, as before, with a small bag of bait and an empty fish guard beside him.

The big bald man was lying on a big rock a little away from the pond, basking in the moonlight and sleeping. There were more than 20 empty wine bottles next to him, and the smell of wine on him could be smelled from more than ten meters away.

When Valencia was looking for someone, she didn't suppress her speed or conceal her movements. Her arrival quickly alerted the fisherman, and the bald man sat up, rubbing his eyes and yawning.

"Old sir, Mr. Principal."

Valensa obediently bowed to the two of them in turn, and then took out two sweet and spicy sauce Xiangqiqi ducks and a bottle of wine that she packed from Yaxiluo, and gave them to the two of them.

The two of them were quite familiar with Valencia, and they didn't pretend to be elders or strong men.

The fishing man held the fishing rod in one hand and tore off the duck leg with the other hand to gnaw on it.The bald man also bit off the cork of the wine bottle and blew on the bottle.

Juniors who are diligent, capable and well-behaved will be loved by their elders no matter where they are, not to mention the super bonus of being a beautiful girl.

Valensa quickly started chatting with the fishing man and the bald man, and took advantage of their good mood to reveal her purpose.

"You discovered a new dungeon!?"

As Valencia expected, even powerful men like Big Baldhead and Fishing Master were very interested in the new dungeon.

To put it simply, a dungeon is a kingdom completely dominated by monsters established by high-level monsters with intelligence no less than human beings.

Since most monsters don't like sunlight, dungeons are usually built underground or hollow out a mountain range. This is also the origin of the name of the dungeon.

In the territory of the former King of France, monster dungeons of all sizes were everywhere, even more than the towns built by humans.

It wasn't until humans rapidly developed and established a country with the help of the Sun Goddess that the dungeons were successively broken down by humans... The wealth collected by the monsters became human wealth, and even the monsters themselves became wealth called materials. .

When there were many dungeons, each dungeon could be said to be a symbol of wealth and fame. For example, the ancestor of the Badr family broke through a dungeon of the highest difficulty level and became one of the great nobles of France.
