Chapter 2797 Xia De's Business
Flora asked, and subconsciously looked down at her skirt, then blushed and lowered her voice. She was very curious about this:
"You like girls' stockings, don't you?"
Shade immediately defended his reputation:
"Of course not. How could I be that kind of person? I did give her some advice, but it just gave her ideas to develop new chemical fiber materials. This product was her own idea and was born out of the new material."
So the witch with eyeshadow on smiled and squinted her eyes and asked again:
"Then Knight, if the appearance of those beautiful fabrics has nothing to do with you, then why are you so familiar with those goods just now?"
Under her long skirt, her legs wrapped in black fabric gently rubbed against each other:
"Who has worn it for you? What else have you done with it?"
"Flora~"
Xia De said in a low voice, looked around, and continued to lower his voice embarrassedly:
"Now is not the time to talk about that."
"Yes, yes, you always make sense."
She did not shy away from holding Xia De's arm again, and leaned slightly against him:
"Want to see me wear it for once?"
The sound was so soft that even Xia De was not sure whether he was hallucinating.
[It's not an auditory hallucination.]
"We'll talk about this later."
He continued rather embarrassedly, looking in the direction of Sir Wayne who was talking to his business partner. Although Sir Wayne had a hidden identity, he was still quite successful as a businessman, and his commodity transport business radiated the entire eastern part of Carsenrick, so he was also surrounded by many people just now.
Seeing that there were fewer people around him, Shade walked over with Flora. Sir Wayne did not seem to have a female companion with him, and when he saw Shade coming, he politely extended his hand and shook hands with Shade.
[He is not a demon, but he has a time curse. ]
"She" in his ear said, and Xia De introduced himself without changing his expression.
When the businessman, who was over 1.85 meters tall and even taller than Shade, heard that Shade was able to open up export channels in the southern part of Delarion and even obtained the agency rights for the in-demand products in the capital, he said with great interest:
“I’m certainly interested in collaborating.”
He led Xia De and the other man to the window of the banquet hall to prevent others from hearing their conversation:
"As long as your goods are exported to the east of Carsenrick, even if you want to go through the Rommel Mountain Range's exit at the Sikar Mountain and directly enter Midhill Castle, I can find a carriage team to transport them.
We can discuss the price later, Mr. Holmes. Actually, I am more interested in the business itself than the channel."
Seeing that he had an expression that indicated he had something to discuss, Xia De shook his head:
"The source of this business is a commercial secret. If you want me to introduce you to the princess of Willendel, I don't have the connections. It was a young man under my command who used his body to get in touch with the princess's female officials, so that I could get these commodity quotas."
Flora on the side tried hard not to show a strange expression, while Shade whispered to Sir Wayne:
"But everyone knows now that the main reason for the shortage of this product is the insufficient production, so the distribution volume in the eastern part of Carsonrick is so low, even much lower than that in the Moon Bay area. Sir Wayne, I came to you to ask if you have ever thought about it."
Xia De lowered his voice, and the middle-aged businessman raised his eyebrows:
"You want to transfer the quota originally sent to the southern part of Draerion to the eastern market of Carsonrick?"
"No, no, this violates the agency agreement I signed in Willendal."
Xia De shook his head hurriedly:
"I can only sell these products in the southern part of Delarion, and the price is also set by the higher authorities. But in this way, won't those beautiful girls and ladies in the eastern part of our country become very pitiful?"
He tried to make his tone more normal:
"When beautiful ladies in the capital and even Moon Bay can pursue fashion and trends, they can only hold outdated magazines and sigh at the introductions and blurry photos on them. This is not right."
"so?"
Sir Wayne asked tentatively, and Shade sighed:
“So we have to consider the feelings of the ladies in the East too, right?
I recently discovered that there seems to be some loopholes in the contract I signed. I mean the interesting part. Although I promised to sell those products only in the south of Delairyon, otherwise I would face a heavy fine, but I can't control where the customers who bought the products put them. "
Sir Wayne now understood that Mr. Holmes, who looked young but probably very popular with girls, wanted to make money in China by not violating the contract:
"But do you have so many sources of goods? I think the market in southern Delarion alone is enough to swallow up your goods."
Xia De glanced at him:
"Since I want to take care of the ladies in the eastern part of the country, the expenses will certainly not be paid by me, so if someone really exports them, sells them domestically and brings them back to the country, then it is reasonable that the price is higher, right?"
Sir Wayne now understood everything, and he laughed:
"So, Mr. Holmes, you want to work with me to meet the needs of our country's disappointed ladies who can't buy goods for this kind of novelty goods? You are really a qualified gentleman. But you are right. It is reasonable to charge more. After all, you can't do good things and charity all by yourself, and all the reputation will fall on you."
Xia De nodded with satisfaction:
"So I want to confirm first, Sir Wayne, I have a lot of goods, and I want to complete the first batch of 'sales' before the outbreak of the Winter War. Only after getting the funds can I continue to clear the checkpoints, otherwise the subsequent export troubles may be greater. Do you have such a large amount of funds to cooperate with me?"
He stretched out his hand and deliberately quoted an astronomical figure that the other party could never afford:
"If we are doing a deal, we will definitely do it in Delarion. Can you take out 30 pounds in cash all at once?"
Sir Wayne indeed showed a hesitant look, but he did not give an answer immediately:
"Can I first confirm the contract you signed with that prince?"
It's not like he hasn't encountered scammers before, so of course he has to be careful and cautious about things like this.
Flora went to see Shade again, and Shade laughed:
"Who would carry something like that? They're all in my safe, but I brought this. This is a real high-end item that is not on sale and only appears among the upper-class ladies of Willendal. Ordinary people have never even heard of it."
As he spoke, he pulled out a pair of socks from his formal coat pocket. Of course, they were brand new. The fabric was not only thinner and lighter than the products on the market, but also had a finer "silk thread" embroidered pattern on the surface of the fabric. This was a special craft that could not be faked.
Flora and Sir Wayne seemed even more surprised. It was obviously rarer for someone to stuff a pair of ladies' stockings in the pocket of a suit when going out for a tea party than to carry a contract with him.
However, Sir Wayne still examined the fabric and praised it highly:
"To be honest, I have only heard of this kind of top-grade goods, and this is the first time I have actually seen them. We can discuss the details of the cooperation later, but I am definitely interested in this business. As for the funds."
He thought about it and gritted his teeth:
"I certainly can't come up with three hundred thousand pounds in cash, and I bet there aren't many people in the country who can come up with that. Mr. Holmes, if you don't want cash, I can verify the capital in other ways, but you have to bring me the contract for inspection."
Xia De nodded slightly. This is why he talked about this:
"For what? Let me make it clear first. Although I am optimistic about the arms business in the next few years, I dare not interfere in this. You have to be smart to spend gold pounds and crowns."
Sir Wayne laughed at the joke:
"Of course not munitions, I mean how about antiques?"
Flora didn't know that Shad had discovered Sir Wayne's time curse at the beginning, so she didn't guess Shad's intention until then.
And Shade pretended to be surprised:
"Whenever a war breaks out, the antique market is not doing well. What's valuable now is gold, and those cute little things stacked in blocks are the most valuable."
"I don't have gold in blocks, but I'm talking about gold antiques and some paintings with clear signatures."
Sir Wayne continued, saying that he was very enthusiastic about the deal, but Shade asked hesitantly:
“Is the source reliable?”
"Mr. Holmes, since we are doing this kind of business, everyone naturally knows the source.
I'll give you my business card. If you're interested in continuing the cooperation, please write to me and I can take you to see some of my collections. Although I can't take out cash, the value of those antiques is definitely enough. Of course, according to our rules, the price of antiques should be calculated at 70% of the market valuation. You can bring your own appraiser. "
Xia De took the business card:
"I remember that according to the rules, the price of this kind of antique is 50% to 60% of the market price?"
The two chatted for a while before Sir Wayne politely said "I won't bother you" and left. He wanted to make this deal and was optimistic about the market for products that no one could copy. It would be even better if he could use this opportunity to establish a relationship with the rumored Princess Margaret.
But there are tricks to doing business, and Sir Wayne didn't want to appear to be particularly anxious, so he asked Shad to think about it and contact him.
After he walked away, Xia De took the business card in his hand and said to the lady with gray-black hair:
"It went quite smoothly. Although the original goal has not been achieved, at least we have found someone who can travel back and forth, right?"
