When Codd, the big merchant in Carroll area, family generation doing business, is young once alone went out the wanderer, is quite famous in the Southern Region northern areas, the manner vision is keen, dares to move but does not lose discretely, is can hold all benefits, the standard merchant but who scrupulously follows the contract spirit, its family business covers the furs, spices as well as the medicament many domains, because makes friends widely, has the channel in Holy Spirit Plain and Eastern Region.
Parr is Codd's eldest son-- if nothing unexpected happens, this has the enterprise that the young people of doing business talent will inherit oneself father.
Gawain looks at the present Carroll big merchant, and material in mind it to number-- this is his first time sees Codd, but regarding the information of this merchant, he quite found that and opposite party two matters make his impression profound:
First is the reorganization of Carroll business association, after the Southern Region integration war ended, the government affairs hall took over the Carroll area, the local merchant loose alliance of originally is reorganized, and belonged to the government affairs hall to manage, at that time the big merchant of first signature was this Mr. Codd, moreover he also actively advanced the commercial order reorganization of entire area in later, thus entered the line of sight of local pretor, had the small space in the government affairs hall.
Second early-- after Cecil alchemy potion rises, the inexpensive industrial medicament covers entire Southern Region rapidly, the merchants who almost all steps in the medicament business were attacked, Codd's family is no exception, when the merchants flee or changes professions in abundance or hires oneself Horsman Earl, this Mr. Codd has actually made an astonishing action: He did not have abandoned all end product medicament business of family scruple, then started the business of herbal medicine raw material and alchemy medicament wholesale, has become the one of the Cecil earliest material supply business and alchemy potion wholesalers......
An outstanding businessman.
„Sits, does not need to stand on ceremony,” the Gawain choice receives this in the study room to the merchant fathers and sons, naturally cannot display the manner of keeping aloof, „Betty-- preparation snack, delivers to the study room.”
In the study room has the furniture of entertaining a guest, Codd and Parr is returning to normal the somewhat nervousness, to the appropriate stance sit as far as possible-- can face-to-face sit with so the aristocrat of rank, this matter regarding the merchants of their such humble births is almost the unimaginable fortuitous encounter, even if is very difficult to achieve calmly by Codd's will, but this big merchant had still not lost basic judgment-- he noted here is a study room, this without doubt was a good phenomenon.
The living room receives the guest most common place, but the study room is more secret, can discuss the thing that in the study room, every so often cannot attain the living room to discuss.
Today has a big business.
Gawain is observing Codd and Parr's response, has smiled: „Does not need to be anxious, what today must discuss is your professional field-- Padraic has recommended you to me. Mr. Codd, as far as I know, your trade route is widespread.”
„Rushes about for the livelihood,” Codd is considering each character carefully, „cannot be regarded anything before you.”
„Does not need to be modest, the value of merchant to the duchy is very important-- Mr. Codd, heard that you even also do have the business in Eastern Region?”
Codd thump, suddenly does not know how should reply, behind the neck also slowly sweated.
Eastern Region and Wang Guojun are making war...... Although Southern Region has not been involved in this civil war, but the trade route widespread merchants somewhat received some influences.
Codd's business besides in Southern Region, another big market in Holy Spirit Plain, but at the same time, he and Eastern Region some merchants also intercourses.
Because the situation in rock fort changes, at present leads to the Holy Spirit Plain trade route slightly to have impeded, to avoid losing, with the merchants who Holy Spirit Plain does business is thinking that other outlet, Codd also strengthened and relation of Eastern Region-- through the land corridor of Glen area as relay, he had delivered several bulk cargoes toward that side recently, mostly is potion......
He has not violated the Cecil law, all taxes have fully paid, all cargos register to be on record, but Duke asked this at this moment suddenly...... Is this reply has, is?
Gawain? Cecil is Ainz Founding Grand Duke, whom then he does support in this civil war? From the legitimacy, perhaps is Wang Guojun who he supports...... But speaks the truth, now the both sides of civil war, who is 100% legitimate......
In Codd mind has transferred the innumerable thoughts in a flash, magnanimous benefit balance continuously, but he must make the reply, therefore after short two seconds of hesitation, he opened the mouth: „...... Truly some channels, because civil war affects, the channel is not very unobstructed......”
„To me, Eastern Region and Wang Guojun are the same,” Gawain said at a moderate pace, „junior fights.”
Codd complexion one positive: „But channel is recently more unobstructed.”
„That is good,” Gawain nodded satisfied, „duchy needs your business.”
Codd controlled oneself expression change very well, but his breath still obstructed.
Big! Fresh! intent!!
Imagines a bigger business compared with him!!
On big merchant face almost flood light: „Wish to work for you-- this is our entire family to high glory!!”
Gawain nodded once more satisfied, afterward said: „That, you should understand this business......”
Codd is listening carefully, does not dare to drop a character.
On such that such as he expects must do business with Eastern Region, must sell Eastern Region to go potion.
This is a ratio public bulk bargain, but cannot extremely do on a grand scale, therefore it needs agent.
Codd and his family become this agent, carries out the Duke will, manages the gold coin that these flow.
The condition that Duke pledges may be called liberal--, although family's potion business to the Eastern Region no longer will monopolize from now on the future the complete profit, but needs the larger part income turning in duchy, but this part „loss” and forthcoming income compares to be nothing to speak of simply.
With the support of Duke, how many time of scales family's medicament business to the Eastern Region will expand? Ten times? 20 times?
Will be only more than that!
Codd knows that to become agent of aristocrat is what kind of business, he of humble birth, knows that has with the same person, even if diverges the most family property also to catch a such opportunity: This is one can advance into the path that the upper circles of society, win the bloodlines great honor.
Outstanding agent can seek a true title for descendants later generation, but for this point possibility, they are willing to pay the huge price.
Although now Southern Region aristocrat already not many real power, but only remaining honor titles and limited hereditary treatments, but since the other hand, Duke does not need him to pay any huge price, he even can also gain many-- in the world has not compared this better matter.
When said after the majority of matters understands, Gawain looks at Codd's eyes: „, Did you understand what is heard?”
„Yes, Sir Duke, I understood completely,” Codd hurries to nod saying that afterward he has drawn oneself bow tie, is returning to normal the mood while asked discretely, „, but I not clear...... Why will you select me specially?”
„You are able, is a smart person,” Gawain by the chairback, „other, I have not selected you specially-- Padraic has recommended 12 candidates, I have selected you from 12 alternative plans.”
Codd blinks, on the face revealed a clear(ly) to become aware, afterward he stood up, deeply lowered the head: „I understood-- Codd? Baldwin, takes an oath in the name of family, will certainly completely be respectfully loyal, does not betray and your pledge.”
„Your meeting,” Gawain is smiling nod, and takes out one pile of documents, „we sign the agreement-- later Padraic can contact with you, is well prepared for your following business. But how as to develop in the Eastern Region business...... Should not need other people to help you.”
Codd received that pile of documents seriously, and carefully looked at two it from top to bottom Duke the agreement that draws up also compared with wants strictly regular, the contract that even signs compared with many merchants who among he imagines also wants specialized many, he could not see place that completely any can question.
Therefore he has signed oneself name above-- falls along with last, he long shouted the one breath.
The named Parr's young people calmly look in one side, he remembers father's instruction, were not many in this situation speaks a few words, listened to a character leakproof.
After the contract was established, a Codd's heart also thoroughly puts, afterward he looks at Gawain cautiously, on the face reveals a hesitation.
Gawain had prepared to return in the beforehand work at this time, but notes this big merchant's response, he asked: „Mr. Codd, what issue but also there is?”
„Sir Duke-- I have the issue that takes the liberty very much...... Also possibly is several issues, hopes that do not think to affront,” Codd was considering the glossary a moment ago discretely, after being under the Gawain's permission, he continues saying that „we come time sees new-style vehicles that in the square has displayed...... That type of inconceivable magic car(riage) was impressive, I want to ask...... Does it sell to the common people? If wants to buy, what condition needs probably?”
Looks at the appearance of this big merchant whole face anticipation, Gawain cannot bear smile: „Naturally is sells, is the same with the mine machine, the demon leads the car(riage) also to buy and sell, naturally, the initial period it will be very expensive, like earliest mining machinery, but regarding your such need its rich merchant, that is the price that can withstand. Moreover, because this is a brand-new thing, the factory production line is still doing further adjusts, some following control systems also not public, you need to wait to be able probably to buy it some time. As for condition...... First must after training, master its control method, next must observe with it necessary traffic law, because that is one type is quicker than the beast of burden vehicles speed, the strength bigger transportation vehicle, we must assure its security during use.”
„, This I completely understood,” Codd nods again and again, „I experience to cross the mine machine, can imagine that similarly can have the big strength with the vehicles that magic engine actuates, this type of thing runs on the road, is not careful is not good.”
Gawain saw very much happily after the equally new thing is born such quickly some people had realized its function, and wants to contact and use on own initiative, he saw that some Codd also words want to say that then encourages saying: „Also had anything to say that said freely-- I was not a severe person, you do not need to be anxious.”
„Thank your understanding, I also had an issue,” Codd organized the language while said that „about the magic circuit broadcast...... The Carroll area has not installed the broadcast installment now, however also has the south Kant area to have in the north rock city......”
Gawain listens to Codd's words, in the heart to sigh slightly.
What this merchant said is fact, the magic circuit broadcast installment current coverage scope and newspaper compare quite to be truly limited, this is because the capacity of magic circuit terminal in limiting its laying down, the limited terminal quantity had decided Gawain can only install them in the necessary place first, the rock city belongs to the frontline fort, the Kant city is the industrial new town, these two place natures including, but Carroll area...... The development can only postpone.
„The magic circuit terminal is limited, therefore cannot cover the Carroll area promptly, but you can feel relieved, Cecil will not abandon any lands and there people, next step we will start in including Carroll the 2nd Level cities install the terminal.”
Hears Gawain's to explain, Codd expressed the gratitude first, afterward then said: „If Carroll business association is willing to provide the fund...... We disburse money to purchase the machine, lays down the relaying tower, disburses money to maintain, can first install for us? I only have a very small request......”
Gawain is startled slightly, afterward shows the look that carefully examines: „What requested?”
Deqing settles the throat, starts to describe his idea: „Is this, on the road I inquired broadcasts the related thing with magic circuit, I think of one type...... Thing, with magic circuit on ‚program’ somewhat similar, but the content is different, I want with it to introduce that the special product of Carroll area, introduced the management project of our business association......”
On the Gawain face expression anything has not changed, however in the heart was astonished, he listens to Codd's words, the line of sight actually cannot help but to fall in prospectus that in that had not finished.
Codd entered the condition, his intense feeling abated finally, the words even more are also smooth: „People said Carroll not anything special product, but our that side one plants the good cheese actually, is joined to the local reddish yellow wine simply is the unsurpassed delicacy, but almost does not have many outsiders to know, is very difficult to sell. This time heard that I must come to the Cecil city, my several friends drew me to discuss was very long, they want on to rent a scrap place in ‚newspaper’, was used to introduce this type of special product, but how nobody knew the item body to do, we have studied all laws of government affairs hall announcement, had not discovered that forbade this matter's article, my decision came to here to try one's luck, but after seeing the magic circuit broadcast, I thought that it compared the newspaper to be also better......”
Gawain could not bear break the opposite party: „Do you also want to advertise in the newspaper?!”
„Advertisement?” Codd has gawked, this has never listened to the glossary, what Gawain uses is the stem makes the morphology, with „disseminates and „ informing” widely ” two stems combines, therefore he responded slightly then comprehended the meaning, „, had you conceived this thing?”
„...... No, this is you creates,” Gawain is pinching the forehead, beckons with the hand, „continued, Mr. Codd, continued, all your ideas, all your ideas, said.”
„Yes. I thought that the magic circuit broadcast is a better thing, you looked, it gives the impression of person more profound, the picture of activity can also demonstrate the commodity directly, moreover it disseminates to be possible the newspaper quick--, but if can also publish ‚advertisement’ that to be better than in the newspaper, because the providing range of newspaper is broader......”
Codd after obtaining Gawain's encourages as if redoubled courage, his whole face was saying excitedly, nearby Parr is dumbfounded: This young people had too the year not to see own father to be so excited.
„ Actually we had also considered wants to buy the printer, oneself print the thing that the propaganda uses, but the government affairs hall told us this to be illegal......
„ That side Carroll has many merchants to purchase the machine, wanted to construct the textile mill and brickyard, the government affairs hall has authorized our request, but our very difficult move to arrive at the person, the thing that made not quite sold...... We are strict the request production according to government affairs hall, but must propagandize to be too difficult the thing......
Gawain are listening to narration of this big merchant, after the opposite party said finally, he shouted the tone gently.
„Sir Duke,” Codd as if realized at this time oneself some were a moment ago brave, on the face has shown the restless look, „my this is only some rash ideas, you can greatly......”
„These ideas are very interesting,” Gawain has broken the opposite party, „, moreover very valuable.”
Codd reveals the appearance that is overjoyed: „That...... You are the agreement?”
„I think that feasible-- naturally, this needs to plan and necessary systematic control strictly,” Gawain nods, „you can imagine, if in the newspaper and broadcast allow the merchants to issue that own advertisement, what result will have?”
Codd knit the brows to ponder, ponder while said: „Thing will be easier to sell, will have many people to know the special product of distant place......”
Was saying was saying, he hesitated slightly, but continues saying: „...... Also some people will possibly compile the description of exaggeration, even completely false information...... If situation out-of-control, the people no longer will even believe the thing in newspaper and broadcast program......”
Gawain nods secretly-- this truly is a smart person, is a qualified businessman.
When the advertisement has not been born truly, he has thought of the exaggerated advertisement--, although looks like he does not plan to use it.
„If you said, Mr. Codd, this type of new thing needs carefully to treat,” Gawain said that „before lets loose it, we must formulate the quite strict rule, preventing some people to use deception, preventing some people to entrap the audience, we must establish the verification system, must establish the penalty system, on the other hand since, we must establish for the government affairs hall the control system of person is responsible for verifying, to prevent them to exploit power, will verify the tool that the qualifications treat as to seek money......”
Strict systematic control-- before Codd did not remember the gate house, soldier who on own initiative these copper coins do not receive.
Although he does not know that which methods Duke used to restrain the soldier, but thinks that strict system and discipline has had the vital function.
This big merchant lowered the head in front of Gawain, feels a heartfelt admiration: „Governs lands compared with complex that I imagine, I took for granted to all.”
„Governs lands is very truly complex, but I rejoiced that on this lands has like the person who you diligent is willing to ponder, each issue that you asked that in letting this lands was progressive,” Gawain has stood, he left the desk, arrived in front of Codd, put out a hand on own initiative, „Mr. Codd, thanked you for the contribution that Cecil made. I record your demand, please go back to wait for the good news.”
Big merchant region in reverential awe oneself son was leaving, Gawain calmly has stood in the study room a meeting, afterward before turning around to return to the desk, sits down.
He reads that prospectus that oneself draft, looks at the above these half-finished products the articles, the thinking a moment later, he lifts the hand to stroke on the paper.
One page of papers that had not finished are reduced to ashes instantaneously.
Afterward Gawain reaches nearby blank the hand the manuscript paper, prepares to write the prospectus, however before then, actually broadcasts the sound that Amber has owed to hit from the window of being empty: „Notch-- white written.”
Gawain does not return to throw a balled paper, listening „mother who” out of the window is transmitting to call out in alarm, he takes to begin a stroke, takes out a special notebook from the desk, after opening, writes down several words above with the Chinese character:
Ainz 736 years of Mist Month on the 8 th, new class.
The people do not need you to teach.
Such mistake do not violate again.
