Chapter 2751: Xia De's Business Philosophy

~10 min read 1,868 words

Flora asked, and subconsciously looked down at her skirt, then her face turned a little red and she lowered her voice. She was curious about this:

"You like girls' stockings very much, right?"

Xia De immediately protected his reputation:

"Of course not, how could I be that kind of person? I did give her suggestions, but only to give her ideas to develop new chemical fiber materials. This product is her own idea, and it was born because of new materials."

So the witch with eye shadow smiled and narrowed her eyes and asked again:

"Then knight, since the appearance of those beautiful fabrics has nothing to do with you, then why are you so familiar with those products just now?"

Under the long skirt, her legs wrapped in black fabric rubbed against each other lightly:

"Who has worn them for you? What else have you done with them?"

"Flora~"

Xia De said in a low voice, looking around, and continued to lower his voice embarrassedly:

"Now is not the time to talk about this."

"Yes, yes, you always have a reason."

She didn't avoid it and hooked Xia De's arm again, her body leaning slightly against him:

"Want to see me wear it once?"

The voice was very light, and even Xia De was not sure if he had auditory hallucinations.

【Not auditory hallucinations.】

"Let's talk about this later."

He continued to say quite embarrassedly, his eyes looking in the direction of Sir Wayne, who was talking to business partners. Although Sir Wayne had a hidden identity, he was still very successful as a businessman. His commodity transport business radiated to the entire eastern part of Kassenrik, so he was also surrounded by many people just now.

Seeing that there were fewer people around him, Xia De took Flora and walked over. Sir Wayne didn't seem to have a female companion. Seeing Xia De coming, he reached out and shook hands with Xia De very politely.

【He is not a demon, but there is a time curse on him.】

"She" said in his ear. Xia De's face remained unchanged as he introduced his identity.

And when he heard that Xia De actually had the ability to open up export channels in southern Delarion, and even got the agency rights for products that were in short supply in the capital, the middle-aged businessman who was over 1.85 meters tall, even taller than Xia De, said with great interest:

"I am of course very interested in cooperation."

He led Xia De and the two to the window of the banquet hall to prevent the conversation from being heard by others:

"As long as your commodity exports go through eastern Kassenrik, even if you want to go through that export pass in the West Carl Mountains of the Rommel Mountain System and enter Midhillburg directly, I can find a carriage team to carry them.

As for the price, we can discuss it again, Mr. Holmes. In fact, compared to channels, I am more interested in the business itself."

Seeing his expression that everything was negotiable, Xia De shook his head:

"The source of this business is a trade secret. If you want me to introduce you to that princess in Willendale, I don't have the way either. It was a young man under my command who walked through the path of the lady-in-waiting under the princess with his body, so that I got these product quotas."

Flora tried hard not to let herself show a strange expression, while Xia De whispered to Sir Wayne:

"However, everyone knows now that the main reason for the shortage of this product is insufficient production, so the distribution volume in eastern Kassenrik is so low, even much lower than in the Moon Bay area. Sir Wayne, actually I came to you to ask if you have thought about..."

Xia De lowered his voice further, and the middle-aged businessman raised his eyebrows:

"You want to transfer the quota originally sent to southern Delarion to the eastern Kassenrik market?"

"No, no, this violates the agency agreement I signed with that princess in Willendale."

Xia De hurriedly shook his head:

"I can only sell these products in southern Delarion, and the price is set by the above... But in this way, aren't the beautiful ladies and noble ladies in the east of our country very pitiful?"

He tried to make his tone as normal as possible:

"When the 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 shouldn't be."

"So?"

Sir Wayne asked tentatively, so Xia De sighed:

"So we also have to consider the feelings of the ladies in the east, right?"

"I accidentally discovered recently that there seem to be some loopholes in the contract I signed. I mean the interesting part. Although I promised to sell those products only in southern Delarion, otherwise I would face high fines, but I cannot control where the guests who bought the products will put them."

Now Sir Wayne understood. This Mr. Holmes, who didn't look old but would probably be very attractive to girls, wanted to earn money in the country without violating the contract:

"But do you have so much supply? I think just the market in southern Delarion is enough to swallow your goods."

Xia De looked at him:

"Since I want to take care of the ladies in the east of our country, the expenses of this will of course not be paid by myself, so if someone really exports them to domestic sales and brings them back to the country, then it should be higher in price, right?"

Now Sir Wayne understood completely, and he laughed:

"So Mr. Holmes, you want to cooperate with me to satisfy the demand of the ladies in our country who can't buy goods for this kind of novel goods? You are really a qualified gentleman. But you are also right, it should be added money. After all, you can't do all the good things, do charity, and all the reputation falls on you."

Xia De nodded with satisfaction:

"So I want to confirm first, Sir Wayne, my volume of goods is not small, and I want to complete the first batch of 'sales' before the winter war breaks out. Only after getting the funds can I continue to open up the customs, otherwise the subsequent export troubles might be a bit big. You... do you have such a large amount of funds to cooperate with me?"

He reached out and deliberately quoted an astronomical figure that the other party absolutely could not take out:

"If it is a transaction, we are definitely conducting it within Delarion—300,000 pounds of cash, can you take it out at once?"

Sir Wayne really showed a hesitant look, but he didn't give an answer immediately:

"Can I verify the contract you signed with that princess first?"

He was not a person who had never met a liar. Of course, he had to be careful about this kind of thing.

Flora went to see Xia De again, and Xia De laughed:

"Who would carry that kind of thing with them? They are all in my safe, but I brought this. This is a real high-end product that has not been released and has only appeared among the noble ladies in Willendale. Ordinary people haven't even heard of it."

He said, and pulled a pair of stockings directly from his suit pocket on the spot. Of course, it was the new kind. The fabric was not only lighter and felt better than the products on the market, but there were also more dense "silk thread" embroidery patterns on the surface of the fabric, which was a special craft that could not be forged.

Flora and Sir Wayne were even more surprised, and it was rarer for someone to carry a pair of women's stockings in their suit pocket when going out to attend a tea party than to carry a contract.

However, Sir Wayne checked the fabric and praised it:

"To be honest, I have only heard of this kind of top-level commodity. This is the first time I have really seen it... We can discuss the details of cooperation later, but I am definitely interested in this business. As for the funds..."

He thought for a while and gritted his teeth:

"I definitely can't take out 300,000 pounds of cash, and I bet that few people in the country can take it out. Mr. Holmes, but if you don't require cash, I can use other ways to verify the funds, but you also have to bring the contract for me to check."

Xia De nodded lightly. He talked about this for this:

"Use what? I'll say it first, although I am very optimistic about the arms business in the next few years, I dare not intervene in this. Pounds and crowns also need brains to spend."

Sir Wayne was amused by this joke:

"Of course not arms, I mean antiques, how about it?"

Flora didn't know that Xia De had discovered Sir Wayne's time curse from the beginning, so she only guessed Xia De's intention until now.

And Xia De pretended to be surprised:

"Whenever a war starts, the market for antiques is not good. What is valuable now is gold. Those small cute things piled up in blocks are the most valuable."

"I don't have gold piled up in blocks, but what I mean is gold antiques, and some oil paintings with clear inscriptions."

Sir Wayne continued. He was very enthusiastic about this business, but Xia De asked hesitantly:

"Is the source reliable?"

"Mr. Holmes, since we do this kind of business, everyone naturally understands the source.

I will give you my business card. If you have the intention to continue cooperation, write to me. I can take you to see part of my collection first. Although I can't take out cash, the value of those antiques is definitely enough. Of course, according to the rules, antiques should be calculated at 70% of the market valuation. You can bring your own appraiser."

Xia De took the business card:

"Why do I remember that this kind of antique is calculated at 50% to 60% of the market price according to the rules?"

The two chatted for a few more words, and Sir Wayne said politely "I won't disturb you" and left. He really wanted to make this business, and he was also very optimistic about the market for that kind of commodity that no one could imitate so far. If he could use this to climb the relationship with the legendary Princess Margaret, it would be even better.

But doing business requires tricks, and Sir Wayne didn't want to make himself look particularly eager, so he said let Xia De consider contacting him.

After he walked away, Xia De held the business card in his hand and said to the gray-black haired lady:

"Quite smooth. Although the original purpose has not been achieved, at least this person who can walk back and forth has been found, right?" ===== CHAPTER 2752 =====
