The Original Vampire

In the private room of the tavern.

Arnold, who was discussing with Earl Evan about how to dig a hole for the Saint Hilde family just now, respectfully helped Colin pour the wine, and smiled flatterly:

"Lord Count, after all, I am a Northlander, and of course I have my heart in the Northland! That Evan St. Pros actually wants to encourage me to sell the Northland, it's ridiculous!"

Colin looked at the upright merchant from the north in front of him with a half-smile, as if he had forgotten his secret contact with Earl Evan in the butter tavern.

Obviously, if it wasn't for Colin's grasp, how could Arnold suddenly become an unyielding northerner?

Colin will never forget that these merchants can sell anything for profit.

But fortunately, I can give them greater benefits, as long as they are obedient.

Likewise, if they don't obey, they can take everything from them.

"Mr. Arnold, you are a role model for merchants in the North!"

"Lord Count, you are over the top! In my heart, you are the role model of the Northern Knights, the best among the nobles!"

The two sincerely touted each other, and immediately raised their glasses to toast to this friendship.

After drank the wine in the glass, Arnold put down the glass, quietly looked at Colin's face, and then said tentatively:

"Lord Count, there is something I don't know if I should ask..."

Colin glanced at the other party casually, and said lightly: "Don't worry, I will never go back on what I promised you. Don't you still believe in my credibility?"

"No no no." Arnold waved his hands again and again, "Lord Count, you have misunderstood. Of course I believe that you will not treat your loyal subordinates badly. I just can't figure out why you gave the Eastern Border such an opportunity to make a fortune?"

"Get rich?" Colin sneered, "You also think that's a good opportunity to get rich?"

Arnold was apprehensive, but he still summoned the courage to say: "My lord, do you really intend to relinquish those bonds? With all due respect, this may seriously damage the reputation of the Saint Hilde family."

Colin laughed and joked: "You are very good,

All began to think about the Saint Hilde family. "

"Of course, the great Saint Hilde family holds a lofty position in the hearts of every northerner!" Arnold said reverently, as if he was worshipping his own beliefs.

Colin ignored Arnold's loyalty, but said lightly: "You can rest assured that the Saint Hilde family will not destroy their credibility, no matter who comes to the Roar Fort with those mature bonds, we will honor them. Even the Easterners are the same.

However, you said that the people of the East can make a fortune by hoarding bonds and manipulating food prices, hehe, that is too taken for granted. "

Arnold looked puzzled and asked, "Lord Count, please forgive my stupidity, I don't quite understand what you mean."

In fact, the pit that Colin dug for Earl Evan was, to put it bluntly, a simple operation similar to futures.

At this time, Earl Evan purchased grain at a low price in the east and exchanged them for bonds in the north. These bonds could be regarded as futures contracts.

On the delivery date in the future, that is, when the bond expires, as long as the price of grain in the north is higher than that in the east, then Earl Avon will be able to make a lot of money on the difference, and even the Saint Hilde family will not be able to get it. Pay enough money to buy the corresponding food, resulting in a credit default.

But here's the key issue - the price of food at delivery must be higher than it is now.

Otherwise, Dongjing will lose his pants...

The reason why Arnold and Earl Evan were fooled was because their thinking was limited by this era.

In this era of insufficient productivity, food has always been in a state of insufficient food. Therefore, it is very easy to make food prices rise. Any war or even a few large chambers of commerce can join hands to hoard food prices. go.

This is also the source of Earl Avon's confidence.

In his opinion, it is not difficult to manipulate the price of food all the way up in the future, and it will definitely make the Saint Hilde family swallow the bitter fruit.

But he didn't know that Colin was determined to let Bachelor Sonny implement a new farming and animal husbandry system in the north.

And Ke Lin is also confident that with the popularization of this new farming and animal husbandry system, the food in the north will become more and more abundant in the future, and the price of food must also be on a downward trend.

This is the general trend determined by the relationship between supply and demand. If Dongjing wants to reverse this general trend, hehe, let's be prepared to be crushed and swept by this torrent.

Of course, Ke Lin didn't intend to explain this to Arnold. After all, he couldn't fully trust the businessman, so he just said lightly:

"Then you should pay close attention to the future trend of food prices and see if the Eastern Border can really make a lot of money, and even use it to threaten the Saint Hilde family?"

Arnold nodded, but did not dare to ask more.

Colin explained a few more words to Arnold, reassuring him to do this extremely promising undercover job, and then left.

...

Three days later, the North Border Foreign Trade Company, which Colin had high hopes for, was finally formally established.

More than 500 merchants from the north, large and small, gathered in the banquet hall of Lion Roar Castle to witness this historic moment together.

Since Earl Evan's attention was shifted to the bonds by Colin, without the secret intervention of the Eastern Border, Colin managed to occupy nearly 60% of the new company's shares without much effort.

Of course, with such a large amount of money, the Angele family with a superficial background would definitely not be able to come up with it. Even if all the war reparations of the Troll Empire were invested, it would not be enough at all.

Fortunately, there were the Saint Hilde family, the Uman family, the Schultz family, and the Miller family in the half-elf kingdom. Chairman.

Oliver was also appointed by Vera as the company's first general manager, and the company's management team members, especially those in charge of the two most important departments of personnel and finance, were the backbone of the original Tulip Chamber of Commerce.

At this point, a northern foreign trade company completely controlled by Ke Lin was finally established.

In Colin's vision, it will become a weapon for him to integrate and control the business world in the north, and to carry out economic invasion.

At the same time, the Northland Charity Foundation was also announced.

Compared with the Northern Foreign Trade Supply Company, the establishment of this foundation is very low-key.

And, aside from Colin, no one else has realized its enormous potential and true power.

After dealing with the business world, Colin began to prepare for the half-elf kingdom.

In fact, the hidden dangers in the north have not been completely eliminated, such as Mr. Ho, Prince Leahy, and the Morrison family. However, these problems are also very difficult for Colin to deal with at the moment.

Fortunately, he has already reached an agreement with Mr. Ho, although this Colin has doubts about the reliability of this agreement, but in a short period of time, I believe that Mr. Ho will not cause too much trouble in the north, after all, he and Colin are in the Certain aspects do have a basis for cooperation.

What's more, there is Prince Lehi staring at this terrifying mage.

Colin can only temporarily put aside these hidden dangers and deal with a more important and urgent problem - food.

Queen Elsa has already sent a letter. Compared with the unpreparedness last time, the grain merchants of the half-elf have united this time. They do not want to be forced by Colin to buy a large amount of grain at a low price like last year. Moreover, Behind them, there seems to be the support of the Eastern Border.

Therefore, Colin is going to take the blood cavalry army to Silvermoon City this time, and teach those half-elf businessmen who want money and die a profound lesson.

After more than half a year of development, the current blood cavalry army has swelled to a scale of nearly 20,000 people. Although there is still a big gap compared with the black cavalry army at its peak, it can be regarded as a rather terrifying military force. .

At least in the half-elf kingdom, there is no force that can threaten it.

Unless the Eastern Territory sends out a large number of troops and marches into the half-elf kingdom.

In that case, it might be a good thing for Colin.

Because this means that the Eastern Border has given up its greatest geographical advantage - the Nushui River.

Colin is very happy to form the northern alliance army and compete with the eastern army in the half-elf kingdom.

However, this is just what Colin thought about himself. As long as the Duke of Saint Proos is not stupid, he will not do this.

In late September, after saying goodbye to Vera, Colin personally led the blood cavalry army to leave Winter City and head towards Silvermoon City.
