The time spent watching movies is a long-lost leisure time for them.
…
The orcs in the Orc Kingdom were also shocked for a moment by the content of the movie.
After all, Holo's transformation was so shocking that the orcs had never even imagined such a scene.
But soon, the orcs accepted this setting. After all, although they didn't understand how it was done, Holo's transformation was simply too cool for them.
Most orcs couldn't help but imagine whether they could become like this.
After all, from the orcs' aesthetic point of view, the giant wolf form of Holo is like an ordinary person seeing a giant of light. The shock and impact it brings are the same as the shock and impact that ordinary people feel when they see a giant of light.
Many adults are still fascinated by the form of the Giant of Light, and it is understandable that the orcs are very fond of Holo's giant beast form.
Of course, in addition to the many orcs who are excited about Holo's original giant wolf appearance, a large number of orcs have already been immersed in the movie.
Now seeing Holo no longer paying attention to Lawrence and turning away, they immediately showed sad expressions and did not want the movie to have a sad ending.
…
While the audience is on edge about the film's story, the story of Spice and Wolf continues to unfold.
When Lawrence woke up, he found himself on a comfortable big bed. President Mahot was standing beside him, greeting him calmly.
The other party told Lawrence that Holo left after escorting him to the Chamber of Commerce, and that the Milon Chamber of Commerce had already obtained the privileges of the Trini Kingdom and successfully traded it with the Medio Chamber of Commerce.
In the end, Lawrence earned a total of 1,150 silver coins.
Faced with such a huge sum of money, Lawrence did not choose to exchange it directly for silver coins. Instead, he asked the Chamber of Commerce for pepper, or spices, of equal value.
President Mahot was slightly surprised, and then told Lawrence a story about the devil and spices.
After hearing the story, Lawrence was about to say something when someone outside the door suddenly handed him a list. These were things someone had purchased in Lawrence's name.
The items on the list included two pieces of women's clothing, a comb and a large number of apples.
Seeing these things, Lawrence immediately jumped out of bed excitedly.
He didn't have time to put on his clothes and went straight to the unloading yard, where he saw his carriage and the girl sitting in it.
"Holo!"
Facing Lawrence's joy, Holo just said slowly in an unhappy tone:
"We don't want to be brought north by debt collectors."
"Needless to say, merchants will chase you to the ends of the earth to collect debts!"
The two men spoke and shook hands with each other.
Mahot, who saw this scene from a distance, smiled and said:
"Spice and Wolf?"
There is no doubt that the Wise Wolf is about to continue his exciting and interesting journey with the spice merchant.
The first chapter of the movie's plot ends here.
…
"Very good."
"It actually ended successfully. The director finally behaved like a human being."
"But why is the picture still going on? Hasn't the movie ended yet?"
"Indeed, the length of this movie is not that long. Is this just the first story?"
"This is great, I don't want it to end like this."
“… … .”
All of a sudden, after watching the first story of "Spice and Wolf", the audience burst into relieved smiles.
After all, this result was a thousand times better than anyone had expected. Lawrence successfully gained enough from this dispute, and Holo did not abandon Lawrence in the end. The two continued their journey together to the next city.
For a moment, due to the great sense of happiness, many viewers even felt that the story had ended here and the movie had ended.
However, the movie scene before the ending song appeared made those who could not help but stand up sit down again.
Everyone soon realized that this story about merchants and travel was not over yet, it was only halfway through.
Chapter 486 (Thirteen) Spices and Scams!
Chapter 486
The story of Spice and Wolf does not end here.
When Du Lin started filming, he thought about just finishing the first story and then broadcasting the rest on TV as a TV version.
However, later on, considering that the subsequent stories were still exciting, and also due to time constraints, I simply added the second story in.
After all, the story of "Spice and Wolf" is also very exciting and worth remembering for Du Lin. He can still recall the time when he used to curl up in his quilt to watch this anime and was shaken and excited by the story.
For this reason, he naturally hopes that the people in this world can fully appreciate this story and feel the fun and beauty of the story itself.
…
Without any unnecessary pauses, the story of "Spice and Wolf" continues to develop under the expectant gaze of all the audience.
After Lawrence and Holo arrived at the next city, they stopped at a tavern to rest.
During this time, I heard a story about a magician who could control wolves.
After leaving there, Lawrence and Holo went to the Chamber of Commerce to sell the spices in the car.
Facing them, the Chamber of Commerce manager first acted like a loyal church believer and said a lot of church quotations, which made Lawrence drowsy.
Only after this did he get to the point.
In terms of business, the film portrays it in great detail, with both the psychology of the Chamber of Commerce boss and Lawrence's psychology portrayed very clearly.
In order to earn their own profits, they have tried their best to gain benefits for each other.
Just a scale for weighing pepper describes in detail all the tricks involved.
After several rounds of fighting, when the Chamber of Commerce manager was about to use the scale to weigh the objects, Holo suddenly said that she was thirsty.
Before Lawrence could react, the Chamber of Commerce manager brought water.
"Then let's start weighing."
"OK."
During the weighing process, Holo stood by the wall a little distance away, holding an iron cup with both hands, drinking water while watching the weighing operation in progress.
The boss and Lawrence confirmed with each other whether the scale was symmetrical, and only after they reached a consensus did they continue to weigh the next batch.
"So it's forty-five weights. Where did the pepper come from?"
"These are peppers imported from Ramapada in the Kingdom of Liden. Here is the certificate issued by the Milon merchant in charge of the import."
"So the origin is Ramapada. These peppers have really come from a long way. It's a place we can't even imagine."
Lawrence and the Chamber of Commerce manager smiled and talked to each other.
However, just as the two sides were about to make a deal, Holo
Holo suddenly staggered over.
"Uh, yeah, a little dizzy..."
Having said this, Holo muttered to herself:
"Why do I feel like the things in front of me are tilted?"
After hearing Holo's words, both Lawrence and the Chamber of Commerce manager were stunned.
What they didn't expect was that Holo pretended to let the cup in her hand fall onto the table, but found that all the water flowed to the right unconsciously.
The table is tilted!
But the scales placed on the tilted table are the center point of balance!
There is no doubt that all of this was rigged.
"As the saying goes, the more prosperous a tavern is, the less likely the owner of that tavern is to drink. So that's exactly what's going on."
Seeing the sallow complexion of the Chamber of Commerce manager, Lawrence smiled and said:
"So, the secret to a bar's booming business is that the owner is the only sober person. I seem to be as drunk as my partner, so I should forget some of the things I saw or heard here. However, drunk people often say some irrational things."
“… Say, say what?”
The boss's voice trembled with fear.
Lawrence kept smiling and approached the boss in his usual business tone and said:
"The amount of pepper plus the extra money you just made, and, let me think... can you let me purchase twice the amount of goods on credit?"
"Uh, ah, but, but... isn't this too much to ask?"
"No? That's a shame. I think I'm almost sober."
In response to Lawrence's words, the Chamber of Commerce manager nodded with a desperate expression.
Therefore, Lawrence proposed to purchase the weapons at twice the price. He believed that weapons have always been an important tool for the kingdom to fight and the price would not fluctuate greatly.
When the Chamber of Commerce boss heard this answer, a glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in the corner of his eyes.
…
After seeing the content of the movie, audiences in major cinemas were stunned.
After all, when selling furs before, Holo used strange means to deceive and make the deal, but this time the Chamber of Commerce manager directly used cheating methods and almost caused Lawrence to suffer huge losses.
At this moment, the young man suddenly realized the dangers of the world, or the greedy nature of businessmen.
"This is really beyond my expectations. The manager of this Chamber of Commerce is completely different from the manager of the Milon Chamber of Commerce. His methods are simply too deceptive."
"Yeah, normally people don't notice these little details, and if they don't, they'll be scammed out of a lot of money."
"This is what businessmen are like. They are the least 'honest'. When faced with a signed contract, they may show a certain degree of honesty, but as long as it is a profitable action, they will definitely go back to do it even if it involves huge risks."
"To be honest, I've been ripped off before. Someone sold me a batch of low-quality goods. I didn't realize it until I was selling them. Sometimes you really can't be careless."
"So doing business really requires courage and carefulness. If you lack either of them, you may not make any real gains."
"When I was watching the movie before, I had the idea of going into business, but now it seems that I am still too young. If I get involved with my level, I am afraid that I will be eaten to the bone."
"In the final analysis, it's not just business, you need to be cautious in everything you do."
"… "
After seeing the plot of the movie, audiences in major cinemas across the empire began to discuss the situation.
Among them, many young people had read the first half of the story of Spice and Wolf and were attracted by the business world described in it and yearned to go into business. But now they immediately came to their senses and realized the risks involved in doing business.
Compared with experienced businessmen who have all kinds of cheating tricks, even if I rush in rashly with no business experience, I will only be one of the victims in the end.
Therefore, many people who are self-aware have given up this idea and just watch the movie in front of them as a story.
On the other hand, when the young Neil saw this story, his desire to go into business increased instead of decreased.
After all, he is a thrill-seeker. The thrill of trading with others seems to him to have endless charm. The movie has made him more determined to become a trader!
Chapter 487 (XIV) Lawrence is in huge debt!
Chapter 487
After seeing the plot in the movie "Spice and Wolf", the people of the Orc Kingdom were naturally the most shocked.
Although fraud and deception also exist in the Orc Kingdom, the orcs are mostly straightforward and basically cannot think of any roundabout scams.
In the entire Orc Kingdom, the only acceptable scam is often the one that involves pretending to be the son or grandson of the previous Beast King, and thereby declaring to others that as long as they give themselves enough benefits, they will be handsomely rewarded when they return to the pinnacle of power in the future.
Of course, this trick was originally learned by the orcs from the human empire.
When this deception first entered the Orc Kingdom, it immediately caused a fad, so much so that every few days there would be a great-grandson of the Beast King or the legitimate son of the Orc General popping up...
These people didn't seem to care even if they were caught. After all, considering the situation in the Orc Kingdom, life in prison might be better than outside.
This is a win-win deal.
