Seeing that Beta didn't want Grusun people, Amanda just smiled and understood.
Although the Grusuns are generally powerful in combat, this nation is notoriously capricious. They have clearly agreed on things, but they often regret it before the next day.
They have a rather bad reputation, which they more than make up for with their prowess. Therefore, they will serve as guards in many caravans. At the same time, this is also a very contradictory nation. Although they like to contradict their promises, they are extremely persistent when it comes to fighting. As long as an enemy appears, they will fight until the enemy dies, or they cannot move.
Contradictory personalities make people of other ethnic groups have mixed reviews of them. Many people will hire them as caravan guards and bind them with heavy contracts, but even so, they still like to tear up the promises made not long ago.
Therefore, many people don't like Grusun people appearing in the caravan.
Considering that her clients also have this tendency, Amanda looked through her thick records, then closed them, and said, "There are currently thirteen caravans that are suitable for you, and you need to hear their status. "
Generally speaking, caravans that need their own are already on the verge of bankruptcy, or they have various situations of their own. So sometimes buy a caravan, or just buy a trouble back.
Beta pointed at the table and said, "Please introduce one for me, I believe in your professional vision."
Amanda thought for a while and said, "How about the 'Black-tailed Scorpion' caravan?"
"Black-tailed scorpion?" Beta's eyebrows twitched slightly: "This name sounds imposing enough."
Amanda smiled and said: "The black-tailed scorpion caravan currently has fifty-three people, and everyone is a veteran of traveling merchants. And they have no previous records of sex. I think they should be very suitable for your merchants." Team."
Xue Li was a little curious: "Since they are all experienced merchants, they should be able to make a profit. Why are they in such a hurry to get the caravan?"
"Because they are very unlucky." Amanda said with a tone of exclamation: "They encountered unexpected situations three times in a row. The first time was a flash flood that closed the road for nearly a month, waiting for them to arrive By the time of the destination, the market has already passed, the goods can only be cheap, and a lot of money has been lost.”
"The second time I encountered robbers, most likely they were dressed in the army." Amanda sighed deeply, as if she was thinking that the caravan was worthless: "There are too many people on the other side, they have no way to resist, Fortunately, the mysterious army only took their cargo, not their lives."
"The third time, the fate is even more ridiculous. They transported the precious shimmering fish meat and planned to cross the desert. As long as the business can be successful this time, they can not only earn back the previous losses, but even have a slight surplus. Unfortunately… "
"Have you been robbed again?" Shirley asked.
Amanda shook her head: "There was a tornado, and they were all blown away, but afterward, every one of them was miraculously fine, at most they were slightly injured, but all the goods and donkey carts were gone. They walked The route is near the edge of the desert, logically speaking, there should be no whirlwind there."
Xue Li whispered: "It really is very unlucky."
"The Black-tailed Scorpion Chamber of Commerce, which was originally a good business, has just become a bankrupt caravan." Amanda smiled bitterly: "And because they have been unlucky three times in a row, no one dares to buy them, even if they have a good business record in the past .”
"Since they are so unlucky, why did you introduce them to us?" Shirley was a little puzzled: "Although we are not afraid of bad luck, it is not a happy thing to get involved with it."
Even on the earth in the information age, human beings are extremely afraid of such mysterious and mysterious things as doom, not to mention that there is a destiny in this magical world, and no one wants to touch such things as doom.
"No, they are just plain unlucky." Amanda said firmly: "This has absolutely nothing to do with bad luck, I can guarantee that."
Shirley was a little funny: "You don't understand magic, and you don't have divinity, how can you be so sure that they are not plagued by bad luck."
"Although I don't understand, we have professionals to make an assessment." Amanda bowed slightly to Shirley: "Madam, please rest assured that we will never lie about this."
lady! This word is very attractive to Shirley. When she heard Amanda say this, she immediately became smiling and stopped refuting anything.
Professionals! When Beta hears this word, he always has a bad feeling. After all, on Earth, this word has changed.
"Since you admire them so much, then tell me their ways." Beta took out a gold coin from the space backpack and flicked it on the table: "If you can take us there and be a lobbyist in the middle, then This coin is yours now."
With a bang, the gold coin that had just dropped onto the table disappeared in an instant. Amanda's hand speed for taking money is already comparable to that of a professional. After getting the gold coin, she smiled and said, "Your Excellency is really generous, please follow me."
About ten minutes later, Amanda brought the three of Beta to a mansion near Beicheng.
On the way over, Beta found that those eyeliners who watched him also came over. But they behaved quite professionally. If it wasn't for Joan of Arc watching these people in the sky, even Beta would just treat them as ordinary people.
But those people still didn't show any hostility, so Beta let it go, and then turned his attention to the building in front of him.
It is not much different from other mansions in the city of Harvey. This building is also built of white rock. The smooth wall reflects the cold light under the winter sun.
There is no one in the garden, only overgrown with weeds. It can be seen from here that this house has not been taken care of for a while.
Amanda walked to the door, rang the door bell, and after a while, a middle-aged man with almost all gray hair came out.
He has a vicissitudes of life, although the clothes look gorgeous, but his complexion is not very good, obviously decadent and melancholy.
Seeing Amanda, the middle-aged man smiled with a strong bitterness in it: "Amanda, long time no see."
"Uncle Chad, long time no see." Amanda smiled at the middle-aged man and said, "I'm here to help you bring a noble gentleman who is willing to join your caravan. You can chat, and I'll be listening. , I can help you add."
Chad, who was originally a little melancholy, immediately became more energetic when he heard this. He quickly walked two steps in front of Beta, performed the etiquette of a commoner meeting a nobleman, and then said: "Thank you for coming to my house, please come in, we can have lunch and chat at the same time."
The middle-aged man glanced at Shirley and Jessica at the same time, and then showed a surprised expression.
But he knew how to measure, and after a brief pause in his gaze, he moved away from Shirley's face.
Then he led a few people into this small white building.
The living room is simple, with white stone tiles on the floor. Originally there was a precious animal skin carpet here, but because the owner lacked money, it has been pawned now.
After they sat down in the living room, an ordinary-looking maid came out and brought fruit wine and some simple pastries.
Chad said with a look on his face, "Your Excellency, ma'am, I'm sorry. I know these things are not worthy of your status, but this is the best food I can do right now."
Beta said indifferently: "It's okay, we're here to negotiate a deal, not to eat."
Shirley picked up a piece of pastry and handed it to Jessica.
Chad sighed: "Thank you for your understanding."
Amanda said from the side: "Okay, Uncle Chad, don't say so many polite words. The nobleman is very busy, so please tell me your conditions."
"Okay." Chad looked at Beta, paused and said, "The number of our caravan is still the same as before, and we also know how to do business. The difficulty we encounter now is nothing more than a lack of money. As long as With money, our caravan can be revived. How you buy our caravan is definitely a good buy.”
Beta nodded: "Amanda has told me all these things. I just want to know how much money you need to be willing to join your caravan. Or what other conditions are needed."
"There are two conditions." Chad glanced at Beta and saw that he showed no signs of anger, so he continued: "First, I must still be the head of the black-tailed scorpion caravan. Second, you can't interfere with our business practices."
Beta was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "You mean, I bought a uncle with money to offer?"
"Of course it doesn't mean that." Chad explained: "Because of the business of traveling merchants, the price of goods changes rapidly. If you are proficient in business skills, you should be able to understand what I mean. I hope that the business behavior of the caravan can be decided by itself. Of course, All the money earned belongs to you, and this matter will never change."
Beta thought for a while and then asked: "Can't make concessions? I need a caravan that can obey my orders, and the second is to make money."
Chad shook his head and sighed: "The black-tailed scorpion is like my child. If I can't make the decision, then I would rather remove the black-tailed scorpion from now on."
Amanda anxiously said: "Uncle Chad, you are stupid. This noble lord, you don't care about your bad luck, and you still think of yourself? If this goes on, when will you get rid of the caravan? You know, You owe someone a huge debt."
Chad looked a little disappointed, but he still shook his head and said, "My conditions will not change."
Amanda was so angry that she really said something, but at this moment Beta stood up: "If this is the case, then forget it. I'll go and see other people. Amanda, take me to find other caravan vendors. "
With a long sigh, Amanda stood up, looked at Chad helplessly, turned around and took Beta away. (.)
