0209: The Largest Wood Merchant In The Imperial Capital.
0209: The Largest Wood Merchant In The Imperial Capital.
Breeze gently, the port outside the west gate of the imperial capital.
There are dozens of hundreds of ships of different sizes docked here, and there is a large warehouse beside the port.
And the Mulinsen Chamber of Commerce, as the largest wood merchant association in the imperial capital, also rented many large warehouses by the port, almost a dozen of them.
The behind-the-scenes people of the Mulinsen Chamber of Commerce are pure-blood elves from the Black Mountain Forest ~ Sea.
The headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce is also set up by the port. It is a three-story wooden building with an area of about 100 square meters.
At this time, Leisa and Liya are resting on the third floor of the Chamber of Commerce. They are really tired recently.
The holy object of the elves that has been investigating has finally found news, but it turns out that the holy object is related to the emperor of the Golden Eagle Empire.
All of a sudden, Leisa, Liya and others fell into a new predicament.
After they investigated the theft of the Heart of Life, they hid here and did not go out, so as not to be seen by others.
After all, Leisa and the others killed a nobleman, even though Howo was only a nobleman.
"Auntie, what should I do?"
Liya was so anxious that she kept scratching her hair, and there were dark circles under her green eyes, obviously she hadn't slept well recently.
"I haven't found a chance after investigating for so long, it's really..." Leisa shook her head indifferently.
Ever since she knew that the heart of life was in the palace, she ran up and down a lot, but all ended in failure.
"The royal palace doesn't accept elf demihumans. They only want pure human races, and don't want demihumans of any race."
Leah twirled her slender fingers around her emerald-green hair, and sighed, "In this way, we can't arrange people to go in."
It is definitely impossible for them to mix in by themselves. The pure-blooded elves are a favorite race of many nobles.
In addition, now that the palace has the heart of life in its hands, it will definitely guard against the elves.
"Forget it, don't think too much about it, let's take your time with the holy relics, and finish dealing with the chamber of commerce for now.
Leisa scratched her head with a headache, her charming emerald green eyes were full of exhaustion.
She also has another task, which is to check the accounts of the Mulinsen Chamber of Commerce. In recent years, the money she has earned has become less and less.
For this reason, Lin Hai in Montenegro suspected that there was a moth in the chamber of commerce, and Leisa, as one of the people behind the scenes, was responsible for finding out the moth.
"Auntie, what happened to the chamber of commerce?"
Leah didn't take over much of the business of the chamber of commerce, so she didn't know much about the crisis the chamber of commerce was facing now.
"It's a bit complicated, I'll tell you after I figure it out." Leisa reached out and pinched the center of her brows.
The Mulinsen Chamber of Commerce is considered one of the best chambers of commerce in the imperial capital, but now it is not as profitable as an ordinary chamber of commerce.
"Tap Tat Tat..."
Just when Leisa was distressed, there was a sound of light footsteps.
"My lord, this is the account book of our chamber of commerce in the recent period, please take a look."
Gina showed pitiful eyes, and put the ledger on the table with her slender hands.
She is a sub-elf from Lin Hai, Montenegro, and it has been eleven years since she came to the imperial capital.
She will return to Lin Hai in Montenegro next year.
At the same time, Gina is also the president of the Mulinsen Chamber of Commerce, Rimi Liuba is tall and thin.
His long black hair was coiled up, and he looked very capable, revealing a pair of pointed elf ears, and his light green eyes were constantly filled with grievances.
She really feels a little wronged recently, and she also knows that Leisa suspects embezzlement of public funds, but she is really not embezzled!
"Yeah." Leisa didn't want to doubt Gina, but the business situation of the chamber of commerce went from bad to worse.
She had to take a closer look at the account books, and reasonably suspect that the person in the chamber of commerce is the person in charge of the chamber of commerce.
"hush huh"
The sound of Leisa flipping through the ledger kept ringing, and her emerald green eyes stared at the ledger very carefully.
An hour and a half later, Leisa closed the ledger and placed it on the table.
"There is no problem with the ledger."
Leisa folded her arms around her chest, and asked in a deep voice, "Since the accounts are all right, why are you making less money?"
She took a deep breath, and before Gina could reply, she said again, "Every year, Lin Hai from Montenegro brings a lot of wood, especially some precious wood, such as ebony wood, yellow ring red heart wood, etc.!"
The precious wood mentioned by Leisha is only available in Lin Hai, Montenegro, and it is also the best wood in it.
"My lord, now many people don't buy expensive wood, and the empire doesn't reward powerful nobles, so few people build castles.
Gina pouted and explained, "It's not like the nobles who rewarded nobles like before. The nobles used a lot of wood to build castles."
She picked up the account book and flipped through the previous accounts, and continued, "Those people will naturally buy expensive wood for the sake of face. My lord, look at the recent ones, and you can't buy expensive wood at all."
Why doesn't the elf woman want the Chamber of Commerce's business to improve, because she will leave the Chamber of Commerce next year and return to Lin Hai, Montenegro.
Gina has been in the Mulinsen Chamber of Commerce for many years, and she also has feelings for this chamber of commerce.
So I don't want the chamber of commerce to go bankrupt when I leave.
"I didn't expect it to be like this... like this." Leisa was stunned.
"But fortunately, a big order came a while ago, selling 150 pieces of oversized timber.
Gina said with a pretty face full of joy, "We got back more than 700 gold coins at once.
"It's a good thing."
0
When Lisa heard that there was a business, her emerald green eyes lit up.
"But now there are more than 5,000 large logs piled up in our warehouse, and these are all stocks.
Gina lost her face after she finished speaking.
A large log is a complete round log with a diameter of more than 30 centimeters.
However, the diameter of super large wood is more than 50 centimeters, and the price will be dozens of times more expensive than large wood.
"Ah? So what should we do? We still need to buy three months' worth of food this year, otherwise it will be very difficult to maintain our lives."
Leah stood up anxiously.
There are hundreds of thousands of elves living in Linhai, Montenegro. Even if they rely on mountains to eat mountains, they still need nine million catties of food to supplement them.
Otherwise, there will be big problems in the ecology of Lin Hai in Montenegro, which is also the main reason for the anxiety of elf girls.
Lisa heard a head and two big, took several deep breaths, and asked, "How many more gold coins do we need?"
Gina immediately lowered her head and counted with her fingers, then raised her head after a while and said, "About 30,000 gold coins are needed.
..." Leisa and Liya were both stunned after hearing this.
They didn't expect to be short of so many gold coins.
Looking at the disbelieving expressions of the two, Gina nodded and said, "It's really 30,000 gold coins short."
Leisa covered her eyes, shook her head and regretted, "It was a mistake not to snatch it from those nobles' homes.
Moreover, their recent actions have been too lavish, and they did not expect the Chamber of Commerce to be so difficult.
