Chapter 194: Chapter 117: Arriving at Bengala TownZhou Bai saw Maria’s reaction and knew the allure of fine food was universal. Naturally, he was interested in the partnership. Moreover, collaborating with a team from Bengala Town beforehand would offer them a solid grasp of the town before they even arrived, serving as an effective stepping stone. Thinking this, Zhou Bai called over Zhong Yongnian from his team. Zhong Yongnian was mentally prepared when he was summoned. Their trip was indeed for business, and now that business had come knocking, he surely had to seize the opportunity. "These jerky pieces are produced by their team, and they’ve brought quite a lot this time. You can discuss the specifics of the cooperation," Zhou Bai began. Business dealings were better left to the professionals. Listening, Maria seemed somewhat surprised, "Such a good business isn’t controlled by the territory?" Hearing Maria’s words, Zhou Bai met Zhong Yongnian’s gaze, and they both quickly understood. Catching on, Zhou Bai hastily responded, "The territory leads, naturally, but different projects have different leaders. We’ve brought several unique goods this time." Upon hearing this explanation and glancing at Zhou Bai, Maria remarked casually, "Doing business under the territory’s name keeps one from being bullied, and with such fine goods as yours, they’re easily monopolized. Otherwise, I wouldn’t dare to collaborate with you." Three words: Couldn’t protect them! Maria also wanted to leverage the name of Hope Village. If the collaboration was with a personal merchant team, she wouldn’t feel secure! She now needed a definite assurance from the other party. "These are goods from our Hope Village," Zhou Bai quickly assured. Listening to this, Maria finally felt completely at ease and then went off to discuss details with Zhou Bai and Zhong Yongnian. As for Zhou Bai, he relayed the news to the others immediately. At the back of the team, after hearing Zhou Bai’s message, everyone’s faces turned solemn. "Didn’t expect we’d need to use a territory’s name to do business." "Does this mean individual dealings are discouraged?" "If it’s not something special, it’s no issue, but if it is, better stick with the team!" "Good thing I brought mostly common resources." "We should also be cautious. It seems the native territory’s hierarchy might be more severe than we thought." "Ah, what a mess! Originally thought it was the end of the world, but it turned out to be a switch to another world. Just when things were smoothing over after the initial hardships, suddenly we enter Stan Continent, and the environment gets even tougher." "No choice, we were never the ones making decisions." "..." At this point, everyone fell silent. Yes! They were always the reactive party, and even now, they didn’t understand the purpose behind the Doomsday Game going to great lengths to move them from Blue Star to this new world. All they could do was take things one step at a time. "Let’s not dwell on such heavy topics. Let’s think about doing business in Bengala Town!" Yun Juncai steered the conversation back to reality among them. Dwelling on past lives would only stir dissatisfaction with the current situation. Listening, the others relaxed a bit and then discussed how to conduct business in Bengala Town shortly. After much deliberation, they decided to stick to the original plan with two precautions: one, no one should act alone, and two, always do business under the guise of the territory. On the other side, Maria and Zhong Yongnian were enjoying their conversation. Zhong Yongnian let Maria taste each type of food he had. Maria, already won over by the jerky, was now hooked by the variety of foods. She had never imagined simple ingredients could taste so delicious. Such culinary skill was truly unmatched! These were all treasures for making fortunes! In the next moment, she became somewhat impatient, "How much merchandise did you bring on this trip?" Watching her excited behavior, Zhong Yongnian subtly said, "Most of our team members brought a full range of goods, varying in types and preparations. If you want them all, I’m afraid you won’t be able to manage or consume that much." Listening to this, Maria cooled down a bit. She had been too greedy. I’m really tempted! It’s also because the food from Hope Village is too delicious! Maria sighed softly, then said, "Let’s settle for these dried meats and the instant noodles you mentioned!" With a long shelf life and easy portability, they are especially suitable for teams traveling outside. Given her connections, releasing these items would be easy, and she could dispose of them quickly! This transaction could turn a profit instantly! Of course, she was more inclined to establish a trade relationship with this team, thus facilitating mutual supply and demand, drawing out the connection, and catching bigger opportunities. "How much can you offer?" Zhong Yongnian’s eyes twinkled as he took control of the conversation. Sёarᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. His confidence grew with the opponent’s attitude, knowing the goods were in demand. So don’t blame him for pricing high. Not to mention, they had indeed put in quite an effort along the way. The price had to compensate for their hardships! Maria, of course, knew Zhong Yongnian’s thoughts and immediately asked, "How do you sell them?" In business, of course, you let the other party make an offer! Seeing this, Zhong Yongnian could only say, "As you know, our territory has only recently merged into the Stan Continent, and we are unaware if there’s a difference between prices outside and those within our territory. We came here also to scout out external prices! After all, we don’t want the products we’ve worked hard to create to be undersold." Maria listened and understood their concerns. After all, the products must be sold at the local market price. Sometimes, isn’t it the mercenary teams that profit from the price differences between two places? Moreover, once they reached Bengala Town, they could also understand the market prices there. Thinking it over, Maria sorted out her thoughts and said, "This food is unique in flavor and places in our territory might sell this for five times the price of the same amount of regular dried meat, and people might buy it. But ultimately, this isn’t food with special effects. No matter how good it tastes, many wouldn’t be willing to pay if it greatly exceeds the item’s value, especially in such large quantities." After all, if the quantity was small, packaging it up and selling it to the nobles and wealthy could still work. But by the tone of their discussion, the quantity was not small, so it could only be used as common food. "At this rate, how much does one piece of dried meat sell for in your territory?" Zhong Yongnian asked about the price again after hearing about the food with special effects. "10 pieces for 1 copper coin," she replied. Zhong Yongnian did the math; that was 2 pieces per copper coin. This price, it works! "Then I’ll provide a portion at five times the price," Zhong Yongnian directly stated. "Our profit margin will be less with that cost," Maria said instinctively, thinking that large-scale cooperation should be cheaper. "I plan to raise the price further when selling. How much it sells for then is up to you," Zhong Yongnian said resolutely. "I believe this first batch of dried meat will definitely sell well! No one in our team will undermine the market value." They would certainly standardize the prices of all their goods later. Listening, Maria thought it over and finally nodded, "Alright, let’s settle for that price!" Subsequently, the two officially began negotiating the quantities of dried meat and instant noodles to be sold. As negotiations went back and forth, cooperation was achieved. Upon entering Bengala Town, Zhong Yongnian already had a large sum of Gold Coins credited to his account. Following the establishment of cooperation, Zhong Yongnian began inquiring about the specific conditions in Bengala. Knowing what Zhong Yongnian had in mind, Maria was not stingy with the information she knew and began educating Zhong Yongnian and Zhou Bai, who was nearby. "Bengala Town is governed by Earl Orkot from the Bradric family, one of the most renowned noble families in the Human Clan Kingdom. Our territory is the capital of silver equipment production. Apart from having a large number of craftsmen, we also produce various minerals. However, all mines are concentrated in the hands of the Lord, and with the support of the Bradric family, our territory is very prosperous. Before every Territory War truce period ends, advanced professionals from the Bradric family come to assist us in maintaining stable development..." Maria spoke with evident pride. On the Stan Continent, having a stable territory is the greatest happiness. Their Bengala Town, indeed, had a backer! Listening, Zhou Bai couldn’t help but remark inwardly. No matter the era, it always comes back to connections! As Maria continued her explanations, they drew increasingly near to the range of Bengala Town. As they approached, the encounters with Demon Beasts significantly reduced, nearing none, but they saw an increasing number of professionals, albeit mostly hustling past without sparing them a glance, as if a group of this size was a common sight here. Finally, they stepped into the scope of Bengala Town. Upon entering, they received a message and continued walking for a bit further, gazing at the scene before the territory, they were all dumbstruck.
