Chapter 26: Make a fortune

When Ash Rufate returned to his residence, he saw the door next door open. He looked in curiously, but saw Ajin's fat body sitting in front of the table, carefully writing something.

Speaking of which, I have hardly seen Ajin these days. This is because Ajin has been conducting so-called "market surveys" recently, hoping to find a suitable entry point in this troubled city. This is a very important thing, so Ajin does it without placing it on others, but by himself.

"Ah, Ashu Rufate!" Just as Ashu Rufate took a look, Ajin seemed to have finished writing. He turned his head and saw outside the door. He seemed to suddenly think of something. "Ahu Rufate, I have a good deal. Do you want to come and participate in it?"

"Ah, is it a profitable deal?"

"Ha, I'll make sure to make a profit and never lose money, otherwise I wouldn't think of you." A Jin smiled honestly and happily, like a blooming peony. "Are you interested?"

It must be noted that Ash Rufate now has a good understanding of Ah Jin, so he understands that Ah Jin will not only not be ashamed of selling at a high price, but will instead have a sacred sense of mission. In other words, what he just said about "making a stable profit but not losing money" means that he is most likely to be himself, not Ash Rufate.

"Ah, let's talk." Ashu Rufat said and walked into Ajin's room. Now he saw a pile of paper on Ajin's table, with some scribbles on it, but it was still obvious that these were numerical symbols. Apart from their creators, outsiders probably cannot understand what the meaning of these symbols have.

"This matter has something to do with you," Ajin said mysteriously. "The cause of the matter is someone named Asu Ruffat."

"Ash Rufate? What does me have to do with me?"Ash Rufate couldn't understand.

"It's just the same name...well, you should have heard of the trade with the elves?"

Ashurf nodded.

"When it comes to trade with the elves now... that's simply a river of gold." Ajin looked envious and jealous. "Elf's fabrics, spices and jewelry are rare items in the human world... especially their spices and jewelry... tsk... no matter how high the price, they can be sold, but they are still priceless! The Tulan people controlled the trade with the elves. Legend has it that half of their treasury income comes from here!"

"Ah, what does this have to do with our money making?"

"It's a big deal! I recently got a channel... I can steadily obtain elves products. Think about it, we put these things in the noble area of ​​Eagle City to sell... at least we can make a profit of one cent. Although we don't make much, we can ensure that sales are not a problem. In addition, we can take out the goods very quickly and we won't have to accumulate funds!"

"The luxury goods made by elves... can only make such a little money? Didn't you just say that there is a price but no market?"

"Hey, do you think we got it directly from the elves? Before we got to our hands... we had already passed five or six times, and the price was more than one or two!

"A Jin, I thought an excellent businessman like you would work hard to find a way to establish a trade route for direct trade with the elves, rather than being satisfied with standing at the end and drinking a bite of leftovers."

This sentence caused a big blow to Ajin because he immediately showed a very depressed expression.

"Who doesn't want it," Ajin said angrily. "But what can I do? The Tulan people monopolized the trade with the elves... All those who want to make this money can only stand aside and drink some soup. Big heads were made away by those merchants who colluded with the Tulan official!"

"I heard... there is also trade with elves in the south?" Ashu Rufate remembered some rumors he heard in Brassian.

"It is true, but it's too little." Ajin replied. "There is indeed a trade route with the elves in the south, and it is indeed far from the control of Tulan. However, the overall transaction volume is too low and can only be regarded as a supplementary route. The main trade between humans and elves is still concentrated in the Tulan people."

"Ah, why did the Turan people control trade with the elves? If the port is blocked, other countries can also participate. At most, the voyage is a little longer." Ashurufat asked.

"The key is not the blockade of the Turan people, but the elves... Do you know that the elves actually disdain to interact with humans, so they only opened a port city called Ireb. All the trade between humans and elves is carried out in this city, or at least through this city. The ruler of Ireb was an elf prince named Ashurufate."

Ajin noticed Ash Rufat's face at this time.

"The same name as me...?"

"Yes." Akin sighed. "Ashrufat, why are you a human? How great would it be if you were an elf? I would hold your thighs and cry and shout to be friends with you."

"I don't want it either." Ashu Rufate smiled reluctantly.

"Oh, don't worry. The language of elves is very different from that of humans. This 'Ashrufate' must have some special meaning in the elves language. In human language, this is just an ordinary pronunciation and has no meaning."

"No, the same is true for the elves." Ashu Rufat murmured to himself softly. Of course, his voice was simply echoing in his throat, and Ajin couldn't hear it at all.

"Then is this prince actually controlling this trade channel?" Ashu Rufate was in a daze, but in order not to arouse Ajin's suspicion, he immediately asked again.

"Yes," Ajin didn't notice Ashrufate's trance. Of course, even if he noticed, he wouldn't care. "The prince only gave a limited number of Tulan merchants the right to trade in his city...even this right is limited by a lot of things. For example, quantity and type are controlled."

"So, if a businessman from another place comes to Eriber..."

"If he didn't have a business license, he wouldn't be able to buy any bulk commodities. Of course, it would be possible to buy one or two items in private."

"Then go see this prince and ask him for permission! Since this prince ruled such a trading city, he had no reason to refuse to trade with an honest merchant. Wouldn't it be better to have a few more trade objects? Even if the prince had been deceived by some human merchant and thus had prejudice, he believed that a generous gift would always melt the favorable weapon of the ice. In this regard, aren't elves and humans the same?"

"Ah, Ashu Rufate!" Ajin shouted. "Do you think this kind of thing is not thought of until today? My colleagues have tried it long ago. Countless merchants came to Eriber with the dream of getting rich, and then they asked to see Prince Ashu Rufate, but none of them had the chance to see the noble and prominent prince. The elves' answers were always the same: the prince is not here, the prince is on a long way, and the prince is not able to see guests when he goes out for something! The answer is very

Obviously, if this prince didn't really go out to study (because the elves have a long lifespan, it is common for them to study outside for decades), or he was prejudiced against humans, and even if he looked at humans, he would feel that he would have the best. If it was the former, there was still hope, and if it was the latter, there would be no hope! In short, the fact now is that the Tulan people rely on this monopoly on this trade channel and gained huge benefits from it..."

"Ah, if any businessman got a license to trade in Irebe..."

"Then he is not a piece of paper, but a mountain of gold!" Ajin said in pain. "Ash Rufate, don't say it anymore. This makes me drool! Why are you called Ash Rufate, but not an elf?"

"This is not my fault, right?" Ashu Rufate replied. If Ajin could break free from the fantasies in his heart and carefully observe Ashu Rufate's expression, he would definitely find that the other party was in a daze and pale face at this moment.

"By the way, Ajin, since the prince does not allow it, what about the officials under his command?"

"Don't expect this. Elfs are very, very conservative and a little discriminatory to humans. So they obey orders meticulously! If there is no order from the noble prince, you should not expect at all. My capable colleagues have put human wisdom to the limit of their imagination, but all the tricks are ineffective against those elves. In short, that's the case. We can join forces to trade elf goods, and basically get 10% of the profits, but the turnover is extremely fast and almost risk-free."

"How much does it cost?"

"Ah, it costs at least 50,000 Jin Oli. How about it, Ashu Rufate, since you have found a position in the palace, it should not be difficult to raise such a sum of money, right? In this way, I can count you as a share..."

"A Jin, why do I think this is unreliable... If it is really so good, don't you do it yourself? If the turnover is really fast, 10% of the profits will be considerable."

"Ah, this..." A Jin looked around with his eyes. "I'm trying to enter the market of Eagle Falcon City. I'm not available for the time being..."

"Aren't you doing this business?" Ashu Rufat keenly noticed the loophole in Ajin's words.

"Okay, I'll confess." Ajin sighed. "Today I accidentally heard someone saying the name 'Ashu Rufate', and it turned out that they were not talking about you, but about the elf prince..."

"Then, you slowly talk about this deal?" Ashu Rufat sighed. He now knew what Ajin wanted to do. To put it bluntly, he would use him as a test subject and try the risks of this deal.

"Ashu Rufate, I'm totally thinking about you. A stable and reliable income is always..."

"No need." Asu Ruffatt replied immediately. Everything was indeed as expected. "Ajin, let's talk about it next time I have a chance."
