I'm starting a mythical revival in Tokyo

Chapter 257 Free is the most expensive
In response to Karin's surprise, Hermes just said with a smile on his face.

"No, I just came here to receive the goods. How can I call you sir?"

"If you don't mind, just call me Hermes."

He said this with a smile on his face, but Karin and the others didn't take it seriously at all!
The virtues of the Greek gods are known to the world. If they are unhappy at all, mortals will suffer.

Weren't Karin and the others forced to migrate all the way from Europe to Fuso because of Hera's anger?

This is still a fast run. If they ran slower, they would have to go to the Moulin Rouge to pick up customers.

After Maia was sent to the Moulin Rouge, suffered humiliation, and was toyed with by various gods, mythical beasts, demons, and even mortals.

She especially liked to send those women who offended her to the Moulin Rouge, and would select them to perform on stage with Ladon, Hydra and others.

In her opinion, this was better than throwing them into Tartarus to feed Kronos.

With Hera as an example, if Karin dared to take Hermes' polite words seriously, she would be close to death!
Hermes is famous for his pettiness. Karin is not a god, but just an elf.

"Master Hermes, you are joking."

"How dare we, mere elves, address you by your name?"

When she was with Kukulkan before, she didn't seem so reserved, but Kukulkan didn't care about etiquette. If she was really so reserved, Kukulkan would be unhappy.

"Hey, Miss Karin, you are wrongly accusing me. But if Miss Karin doesn't want to, I won't force her. Let's start the handover."

Hermes was still smiling, and that smile looked extremely sincere, like a qualified businessman.

Facing this smile, Karin felt extremely pressured!

If it was Artemis or Apollo who came to take over, Karin would not feel so much pressure even if they were angry.

Although there are many legends about those two, for the sake of Mogui, the Fusang God King, they will not make things too difficult for Karin and the other deliverymen.

In other words, employees like Karin are not worthy of being held accountable.

If there is really a problem with the goods, they will directly ask Mo Gui for compensation. They will not care what will happen to small employees like Karin.

But Hermes is different. He does the dirty work for Zeus, so he might throw some dirty water on her. There is no place to complain about such things!

Under Karin's constant urging, 100,000 people quickly left the cabin. She even let them take away the uneaten food and matching bed sheets and bedding.

These things were meant to be discarded, and it is easy to hide things in them. If Hermes throws anything in, they will be in trouble!
"These things are not cheap, and you just gave them to these people. Don't you think it's a waste?"

Hermes could not stand the waste of commercial value, although he no longer had the divine power and priesthood over commercial wealth.

But the habits he had developed over the years made him naturally want to squeeze out the commercial value of everything.

He took the initiative to flatter Artemis and obtained a position to manage business and trade for her in order to maintain his keen sense as a businessman.

Karin also thought of an excuse, "Lord Hermes, we still need to load the goods that the God King needs back to Fuso. These things were originally meant to be given to them, so it's not a waste."

Hermes nodded after hearing this, "Well, this is indeed the way to maximize the use of space."

Various specialties from the continent of Artemis are continuously delivered to the ship, and these specialties are more valuable than people.

Don’t worry about how many of these specialties there are in the Artemis continent. Since they are not available in other places, the prices will naturally be very high!

The price of one hundred thousand men was offset by Artemis with just two ships of cargo.

But in Karin's opinion, these minerals are not worth this item at all!

But she was just an employee, she didn't care about all that, the right thing to do now was to leave Hermes as soon as possible.

As soon as the cargo was loaded, she took her people away without any rest, just like a good employee who loves her job and is dedicated to her work. Looking at the fleet going away, Hermes looked regretful.

"Really? I'm not going to eat you. Why are you running so fast?"

This is only the first transaction, and he is trying to gain Artemis' trust. How could he possibly cause trouble at this time? He also wants to become the general commercial agent of Artemis Continent.

"Maybe he's afraid you'll frame him!"

Artemis appeared behind him at some point, and along with her was Apollo, who was not doing his job.

However, Apollo did not have a proper job. The main position of the sun god was with Helios, and his main duties were art and prophecy.

At this time, he really has nothing to do, so he can naturally stay with his source of inspiration, his closest sisters, every day!
Hermes put on a sincere smile on his face again and began to protest his injustice. That smile was exactly the same as when he faced Karin.

"How could that be, my dear sister? I value business reputation the most!"

"Business credibility? Using asymmetric intelligence to buy low and sell high is your specialty, right?"

“This is normal business practice.”

Hermes would not think this is shameful. He can get information that others cannot. Should he blame himself for being too capable?
Artemis and Apollo both looked at him with disdain. It is shameful for a god like you to compete with mortals for business and yet you say it is glorious.

But they also have to admit that sometimes they really need someone like Hermes.

Artemis originally wanted her priests and maids to be in charge of foreign trade.

But they don’t have the ability, you know.

The complexity of cross-border trade is not something that priests and maids who have lived in peace for thousands or hundreds of years can understand.

Before they can understand, Artemis will probably be so upset that she will vomit blood!

At this time, Hermes volunteered to do the work for free.

Since he didn't even want any wages and worked for free, Artemis agreed.

Although she looked down on what Hermes had done in the past, she had to admit that Hermes was capable in doing business!
This transaction with Mogui was a test. After all, it was hard to believe that Hermes would work for nothing.

But he did a great job. The handover of materials, the transportation of personnel, and the subsequent arrangements for the living of 100,000 people were all done very well. She couldn't find any fault with him.

Among the 100,000 people, Artemis picked out a group of well-behaved and sensible ones, and left the rest to Hermes for arrangement.

Before leaving, Apollo looked at Hermes meaningfully, his eyes full of distrust and vigilance.

Looking at Apollo's warning eyes, Hermes felt clear in his conscience.

He didn't come here to climb up to Artemis's thigh. He had more important things to do, so he came here to work for free. Besides, who said that you can't make money by working for free?
As long as he gains control of the foreign trade of the Artemis continent, people all over the world will rush to give him money!

If you have power, you will never lack benefits!

Just as he was thinking about how to expand foreign trade, an old nun came up to him.

"Master Hermes, everything you want is ready. Where is Jeanne?"

"I haven't told you what I need yet, Sister."

“The Lord knows everything, including what you want.”

What a generous Christ!
Hermes almost believed him. He just said that he knew Joan of Arc's location, and the reward was immediately prepared for him. Where can you find such a good person?
If I can't squeeze out more value, it would make me look incompetent!
