Chapter 176

    After a joke, the conference hall soon quieted down again. The businessmen sipped ale and looked at Gustav expectantly.


    They don''t come here to joke, and they''re not in the mood to see any performances.


    Now, they just want to hear about the reception from each other.


    Looking at the businessmen who looked up at themselves but were silent, Gustav smiled, "well, you guys, I know what you''re looking forward to. I promise you, even when your woman is going to be born, you haven''t looked forward to it like now."


    After another laugh, Gustav said solemnly, "first of all, I want to convey to you the welcome of Lord Arthur tustra to you. Then, on behalf of all the people in Shanghe Town, I also welcome you."


    The merchants immediately raised their wine cups.


    After a slight pause, Gustav said bluntly: "now, let me answer your most concerned question - this reception has nothing to do with the trade of iron mines. We do not intend to implement the East like trade system in other parts of the kingdom!"


    As soon as the voice fell, the businessmen in the conference hall immediately showed two completely different reactions.


    As members of the chamber of Commerce, businessmen at the conference table show joy and relaxation.


    In just a few months, they have tasted the sweetness of cooperation with Shanghe collar. Therefore, what they are most worried about is the sudden change in the mode of cooperation.


    Whether it is to increase the number of new people, divide their interests, or return to the usual way of trade, it will be unbearable for them.


    This fear is not groundless. It has not been too long since the eastern nobles attacked Lingfeng castle. Although Lingfeng Castle won, Lingfeng castle has every reason to make concessions in order to reduce threat and pressure.


    Therefore, they don''t care about any new business opportunities at all. They just want to keep their existing interests.


    Compared with the relaxed response of members of the chamber of Commerce, the rest of the businessmen were much more excited.


    "Sir, we don''t understand why we should come here if it''s not for the trade of iron ore mountains!"


    "Yes, and you also charged us an entry fee of 20 gold coins! These are not copper coins! We came to the river because we believe that this reception can bring enough benefits!"


    Listening to the questions, a member of the chamber of Commerce sarcastically said, "Oh! Why did you come here? Did you have to be told? Or did you get lost?"


    "Yes, Lord Gustav once said that this reception is related to the trade of iron mines? It''s just your own thinking."


    "What do you guys say!"


    Looking at the two waves of people who had begun to argue, Gustav immediately asked the knight to stop the crowd.


    Looking at the angry businessmen, Gustav said, "don''t be dissatisfied. Although this cocktail party has nothing to do with iron mine goods, I have prepared new goods for you. I promise that the profits it can bring will never be less than iron products."


    Profit will not be less than iron products!


    The excited businessmen were stunned, blinked and looked at Gustav with a positive face.


    They are sure they heard right. The other party just said that there was a new commodity with no less profit than iron products!


    Profits are no less than iron products - how is that possible!


    If this is true, isn''t there an iron mine in shangheling?


    Businessmen buzzed up and whispered, guessing the answer. However, most people shake their heads and look skeptical.


    "Lord Gustav, even war horses can''t make profits from iron products! And we have so many people!" one businessman questioned loudly, and the other businessmen echoed.


    Horses are the most valuable commodity they can think of in addition to iron products.


    "Sir, you didn''t send a hunting team to steal the cubs of Warcraft! If so, the profit is definitely ten times higher than that of iron products!" this was a voice of discontent and irony.


    Stealing Warcraft cubs is no different from suicide. Only wild people outside the East will do it.


    Listening to the noisy comments of businessmen and some dissatisfied voices, Gustav said faintly, "if you don''t believe it, you can leave now."


    With that, he swept his eyes to both sides.


    It''s impossible to leave. Although businessmen do not believe that there are goods with higher profits than iron products, they will never leave in such a hurry until they see the answer with their own eyes.


    What if there is!


    Looking around, he saw that no one got up. Gustav smiled and said, "good. I thought you would leave me here alone. Now it seems that the merchant''s words are really untrustworthy."


    A witty remark could not calm the restless emotions of the businessmen. They still stared at Gustav with a questioning face, waiting for his answer.


    "Wine party, the protagonist is wine!"


    With that, Gustav nodded at bor opposite.


    Alcohol?


    The commodity he said is wine?!


    Just as the businessmen were full of question marks and didn''t know how to react, bor walked to Gustav from outside the Council hall with a brown clay wine jar in his hand.


    When bor appeared, the merchants stared at him, staring at the brown wine jar held in his hands.


    Is that what he said about wine? The bottle is good. The businessmen looked at it with disdain.


    "Everybody," Gustav said, "Elis''s wine, I believe you are no stranger. It is the favorite of nobles. It sells well all over the Kingdom, even across the high court and the broad sea! But now, what I want to tell you is that Elis''s wine will become the past, because what they sell is not wine at all, but water!"


    With that, before the merchants could react, Gustav picked up the wine jar and threw it directly into the air in front of them in the surprised eyes.


    Bang!


    Under the attention of the merchants, the wine jar fell directly into pieces. The huge noise made everyone tremble in their hearts, staring at the pieces and splashed drinks on the ground.


    Don''t you mean selling drinks?


    What are you doing on the ground?


    Just when everyone didn''t understand Gustav''s intention, a strong smell of wine began to diffuse in the conference hall with the breaking of the wine jar.


    "This, what''s the smell?"


    A businessman who was close was the first to smell the smell of wine in the air.


    "It''s a bit like wine, but it''s stronger than wine."


    The merchant beside him held his neck and twitched his nose, sniffing hard in the air.


    Soon, everyone in the conference hall smelled the smell of wine in the air, supporting their necks and twitching their noses.


    "What''s the smell! Shit, it''s so delicious!"


    A good wine merchant, who was bitten by the strong smell of wine in the air, got up and rushed to the place where the wine jar fell to the ground.


    "That''s right, everybody!" after sniffing hard, he announced loudly to all around, "the smell is emitted from this pool of wine! This is the smell of wine! Damn, it''s so fragrant. I''m about to get drunk!"
