In Thurii these merchants, Tios and official's communication is closest, particularly with military affairs section, but now he becomes the relative of king. 在图里伊的这些商人中,提奥斯与官员的来往最为密切,尤其是与军务部,而如今他又成了国王的亲戚。 „Straight tip I do not have.” Tios earnest saying: „To be honest, do not like listening, your younger brother has no astonishing score, according to qualifications along legatus, the situation like him is generally very difficult to become the senior statesman, because of you, he has very big opportunity......” “内幕消息我倒没有。”提奥斯认真的说道:“说句实话,你别不爱听,你弟弟没有什么惊人的战绩,按照资历顺进的军团长,像他这样的情况一般很难成为元老,不过因为你,他却有很大的机会……” „I?!” Some Sostratus doubts. “我？！”索斯塔图斯有些疑惑。 Tios raising in a soft voice selects him: „You provided very big help for the expansion of kingdom before, with the Greek war, you arrives at Greece and Thessaly for the transportation army, multiple organization's large number of ships, but also uninterrupted help transportation military baggage, even is somewhat difficult to the late military provisions supplies, you as Thurii chairman of the chamber of commerce, the way that also the merchants in organization many kingdom, to loan to the kingdom, purchased a lot of grain, helping the military affairs section get through the difficult time...... such matter you also to do in Gallic Wars, military affairs should not forget. If you can make the military affairs section agreement thrust your younger brother to enter council, when your younger brother the senior statesman absolutely does not have the issue.” 提奥斯轻声的提点他:“你以前为王国的扩张提供了很大的帮助,就拿希腊战争来说,你为运输军队到希腊和塞萨利,多次组织大量的船只,还不间断的帮助运输辎重,甚至到后期军粮供给有些困难,你作为图里伊商会会长,又组织很多王国的商人,以向王国贷款的方式,购买了大量的粮食,帮着军务部渡过了难关……这样的事情你在高卢战争中也干过,军务部应该不会忘记。如果你能让军务部同意力推你的弟弟进元老院,那你弟弟当元老绝对没有问题。” Sostratus eye one bright, he knows that the army senior statesmen in council is a very important strength, if there is support of military affairs section, this matter can definitely become. 索斯塔图斯眼睛一亮,他知道军队元老在元老院中是很重要的一股力量,如果得到军务部的支持,这事儿肯定能成。 He immediately a face happy expression draws Tios to arrive at the backyard the living room, the preparation and he speaks in detail. 他顿时一脸喜色的拉着提奥斯来到后院的客厅,准备和他详谈。 The need of because doing business, the Sostratus dwelling has two restaurants, in the front courtyard, is used to entertain his to sell on commission the merchants in net huge, the backyard living room is actually used to receive the important guest. 由于经商的需要,索斯塔图斯的宅院有两个餐厅,一个在前院,用来招待他那庞大经销网里的商人们,后院的客厅却是用来接待重要的客人。 After sitting down, Tios serious mentioned another matter with him: „Sostratus, are you to these things that Dick Polis did handle extremely?” 坐下之后,提奥斯却神情严肃的跟他谈起了另外一件事:“索斯塔图斯,你对迪克波里斯所做的这些事情是不是太过了？” Sostratus has not been surprised, will mention this matter regarding Tios, he is prepared, at once argues: „Your this is unfair to me absolutely, I had no enmity to Sir Dick Polis, on the contrary I was very respectable he, Thurii chairman of the chamber of commerce position was he modestly declines on own initiative to me, I was not the person of returning evil for good, you looked, for these years my fleet transports the pottery that his workshop produced to sells to Greece and Ionia, every year sales volume is increasing progressively, helping him develop the market, made a lot of money for him, if I had a grudge with him, I will do that?” 索斯塔图斯没有感到吃惊,对于提奥斯会提起这件事,他是有准备的,旋即辩解道:“您这绝对是冤枉我了,我对迪克波里斯大人没有任何仇怨,相反我很尊敬他,图里伊商会会长这个职位还是他主动谦让给我的,我又不是恩将仇报的人,你看,这几年我的船队将他工坊所产的陶器运送到到希腊本土和爱欧尼亚去卖,每年的销售量都在递增,帮他开拓了市场,替他挣得了大笔的金钱,如果我跟他有仇,我会这么做吗？” Tios hesitates was saying: „......, but you ship in the pottery from Athens, sells in Thurii, now many officials and rich people are willing to buy your pottery, causing Dick Polis's pottery to reduce...... Sostratus in the Thurii sales volume greatly, our chamber of commerce had stipulation ‚to forbid among the chamber of commerce members malicious competition’, you as the current chairman of the chamber of commerce, should take this lead are......” 提奥斯沉吟着说道:“……但是你又从雅典运来陶器,在图里伊销售,现在很多官员和富人更愿意买你的陶器,导致迪克波里斯的陶器在图里伊的销量大减……索斯塔图斯,咱们商会曾经有过规定‘禁止商会成员之间恶意竞争’,你作为现任商会会长,更应该带好这个头才是……” Hears these words, Sostratus constrains the anger in the heart raising, he a little impolite saying: „Sir Tios, I know that you and Dick Polis are good friends, but you have no alternative but to give a thought to the fact spoke for him, the pottery price that I sold also continued compared with his pottery expensive/noble two times, how can this be called the blind competition?! Moreover because considers him, I import the number of pottery is not quite many, but sells in Thurii, this is in a big way yielded, he who I can make is also dissatisfied like this, how does he also want to make me do?!” 听到这些话,索斯塔图斯压抑住心中升起的怒气,他有点不客气的说道:“提奥斯大人,我知道你和迪克波里斯是好朋友,但是你也不能不顾事实的替他说话,我所卖的陶器价格比他的陶器贵两倍还不止,这怎么能叫做恶性竞争呢？！而且正是因为考虑到他,我进口陶器的数量也不太多,只是在图里伊销售,这已经是我所能做出的最大让步了,就这样他还感到不满,他还想让我怎么做？！” Tios hesitant moment, sighed saying: „...... We were dozens years of friend, you were the financially solid big merchant, the sale on commission so many types cargos, because why the relations of pottery among your two people made such stiffly......” 提奥斯犹豫了片刻,叹了口气说道:“……我们都是几十年的朋友了,你又是财力雄厚的大商人,经销那么多种类的货物,又何必因为陶器将你们两人之间的关系闹得这么僵呢……” „Tios, I always respect your manner, the saying that but you speak today may not be right!” Angry of Sostratus can be seen in speech and appearance: „You are hoping I east Mediterranean your cargo massive sales go, will not actually allow me east the Mediterranean cargo to attain the kingdom to sell, what truth will this be?! If you really must do that I seek an interview Davos your majesty, tells him, Dick Polis and you strongly requests not to in the cargo that outside the Thurii regional sale kingdom produces!” “提奥斯,我一向尊敬您的为人,但今天您说的这话可就不对了！”索斯塔图斯的恼怒溢于言表:“你们都盼望着我将你们的货物大量的销售到东地中海去,却不允许我将东地中海的货物拿到王国来售卖,这是什么道理？！如果你们真要这么做,那我就去求见戴弗斯陛下,去告诉他,迪克波里斯和您强烈要求不得在图里伊地区销售王国之外生产的货物！” „......, I am not this meaning.” Tios hurries to argue: „You looked that since you introduce the Athens pottery Thurii sells, not only upper level the kingdom is willing to use, I heard that your majesty must purchase from you, this will definitely form unrest. This way Dick Polis's pottery sale in the kingdom however will surely weaken greatly, you also know that Dick Polis constructs the pottery workshop in the kingdom many cities, when the time comes he maintains such big scale very much difficultly again, will possibly face the bankruptcy......” “诶……诶,我不是这个意思。”提奥斯赶紧辩解道:“你看啊,自从你将雅典陶器引进图里伊售卖之后,不但王国上层愿意使用,我听说就连陛下也要向你购买,这必然会形成一股风潮。这样下去迪克波里斯在王国的陶器销售量必然会大大衰减,你也知道迪克波里斯在王国多个城镇建有陶器工坊,到时候他很难再维持这么大的规模,甚至可能会面临破产……” Sostratus exhibits dignified facial features, said: „After Greek war, your majesty once made the Department of Commerce call various Town chairmen of the chamber of commerce to hold a meeting, proposed at the meeting specially ‚ regarding the Greek merchant who is going to come kingdom doing business, cannot push aside the suppression, but must render the assistance as far as possible, after I meet, calls you to transmit especially, you and Dick Polis indicated to want fully supports at the meeting, this matter did you still remember?” 索斯塔图斯摆出一幅凝重的面容,说道:“希腊战争之后,陛下曾经让商务部召集各城镇商会会长开了一个会,在会上专门提出‘对于将要来王国经商的希腊本土商人,绝不能排挤打压,而是要尽量给予帮助,我开完会之后,又特地召集你们进行传达,你和迪克波里斯都在会上表示要全力支持,这件事你还记得吧？” Tios helpless nod. 提奥斯无奈的点点头。 „My this is also carrying out your majesty order!” Sostratus righteous saying: „For these years I may in the Thurii regional sale Athens pottery, why the Corinth iron hardware, the Greek stone material, the Thessaly horses and Athens gold and silver product...... you not protest to me incessantly, Innih Lancet to me had not protested...... is discontented with me on Dick Polis? Because his pottery quality is inferior to the Athens pottery, he is afraid the competition!” “我这也是在执行陛下的命令！”索斯塔图斯理直气壮的说道:“这几年我可不止在图里伊地区销售雅典陶器,还有科林斯铁器、希腊石料、塞萨利马匹、雅典金银制品……为什么您没向我抗议,伊尼匹阿斯没向我抗议……就迪克波里斯对我不满呢？因为他的陶器质量不如雅典陶器,他害怕竞争！” Tios mild persuasion: „ These years, Dick Polis already in very diligently improves the pottery quality, even also improved the working procedure of manufacturing the ceramics...... these your I am know that but the Athens pottery has developed for several hundred years, the background is very deep, Dick Polis's workshop is impossible to surpass in a short time...... 提奥斯语气和缓的劝说道:“这些年,迪克波里斯已经在很努力的提高陶器质量,甚至还改进了制作陶瓷的工序……这些你我都是知道的,但雅典陶器已经发展了几百年,底蕴很深,迪克波里斯的工坊不可能在短时间内就赶超过去…… Your majesty wants to win over the Greek merchant, hopes that the market of kingdom diverser, increases the competition, making the people have chooses, does not hope that presents the exclusive monopoly...... these I also to understand, but if Athens pottery in kingdom massive best-selling, should still actually only compel the dead end in Dick Polis diligently, I think that this is not your majesty is willing to see. ” 陛下希望拉拢希腊本土商人,也希望王国的市场更加多样化,增加竞争,让民众有更多选择,不希望出现独家垄断……这些我也都明白,但如果雅典陶器在王国内大量畅销,却只会将还在努力的迪克波里斯逼上绝路,我想这也不是陛下所愿意看到的吧。” In Sostratus heart one cold, immediately said: „I as the president of Thurii chamber of commerce, will certainly not harm the interest of chamber of commerce member intentionally, I start to sell the Athens pottery in Thurii already more than two years, until now presses its sales volume very lowly, introduction is the high-quality goods, the price is very high, the business of ordinary pottery is still occupied by Dick Polis, has not become very big threat to other party. Moreover I have long realized this issue, but also ask Dick Polis to discuss this matter several times on own initiative, but he actually keeps them out me several times, making me the joke of Thurii people, I believe that you impossible not to have heard!” Sostratus exhibits a face suffering appearance. 索斯塔图斯心中一凛,当即说道:“我作为图里伊商会的会长,当然不会故意有损商会成员的利益,我开始在图里伊销售雅典陶器已经两年多,一直以来都将其销量压得很低,引进的都是精品,价格很高,普通陶器的买卖依然是被迪克波里斯所占据着,并没有对他造成很大的威胁。而且我早就意识到了这个问题,还几次主动找迪克波里斯商谈此事,但他却几次将我拒之门外,让我成为图里伊民众的笑话,我相信你不可能没听到过！”索斯塔图斯摆出一脸委屈的模样。 Tios silent moment: Sostratus and Dick Polis related to get into a deadlock the incident to become the joke of entire Thurii people spare time, how he can not know. This tricky matter he does not want to manage, but several good friends in chamber of commerce requested to him, moreover he does not want to notice that the Thurii chamber of commerce hence dispute of unity was unceasing, therefore he meddles. 提奥斯沉默了片刻:索斯塔图斯和迪克波里斯关系闹僵一事都成了整个图里伊民众茶余饭后的笑谈,他又怎会不知。这个棘手的事情他本不想管,怎奈商会里的几个好友纷纷向他请求,而且他也不想看到原本团结的图里伊商会至此纷争不断,所以他才插手。 At this moment, he has to again sincere urged: „ Dick Polis rejects and you discussed, causing the issue to intensify, this is his is not certainly right! However, he is mad your also to have the reason, he understands certainly that only allows us to attain Greece to sell the cargo, does not allow the Greek merchant to arrive at the land of kingdom the business is impossible, however other kingdom merchant introduces the Athens high-quality goods pottery, he will not have what opinion, only then you are not good, because your marketing channel is too broad! 此刻,他不得不再次诚恳的劝道:“迪克波里斯拒绝和你商谈,导致问题激化,这当然是他的不对！不过,他生你的气也不是没有原因,他当然明白只允许我们将货物拿到希腊本土去销售,不允许希腊本土的商人到王国的土地上来买卖是不可能的,但是别的王国商人引进雅典精品陶器,他不会有什么意见,只有你不行,因为你的销售渠道太广！ You look, without how much time, you helped the Athens pottery open upper level the kingdom marketing channel, even if Dick Polis the enhancement of going all out his pottery quality, cannot be catching up with you to sell the pottery to sell quickly, you even also sold to royal family the pottery- ” 你看,没多少时间,你就帮着雅典陶器打开了王国上层的销售渠道,就算迪克波里斯在拼命的提高他的陶器质量,也赶不上你卖陶器卖得快,你甚至还把陶器卖给了王室-” „Waits for!” Sostratus interrupts his words: „Your majesty must buy the Athens pottery that I sell, is not I recommends, is palace manager Reba looks for me on own initiative, moreover urged to me over and over, mentioned that several times with the name of that pottery merchant I cooperated, I suspected that...... your majesty has long known his fellow villager.” “等一下！”索斯塔图斯打断他的话:“陛下要买我销售的雅典陶器,并不是我推荐的,是宫廷主管里巴佐主动来找得我,而且还对我再三叮嘱,几次提到与我合作的那位陶器商人的名字,我猜想……陛下早就知道他的这位同乡了。” „Your majesty fellow villager?!” “陛下的同乡？！” „Yes, this pottery merchant is Hess Claus, was wears a colored glaze this person......” Sostratus to make in diligently the appearance of recollection, saying slowly: „I remember that in the past I visited my brother-in-law Hielos, in the who colored glaze at a banquet knew merchant, at that time reported to me his, but new Thessaly information manager Gore Ji'ang......” “是的,这名陶器商人叫赫斯克劳斯,是佩琉斯人……”索斯塔图斯作出在努力回想的样子,缓缓的说道:“我记得当年我去探望我的姐夫希洛斯,在一个宴会上认识的这个佩琉斯商人,当时向我介绍他的可是新任的塞萨利情报总管戈尔吉昂……” Then was one's turn Tios to feel anxiously: Wears the colored glaze merchant...... the recommendation of information manager...... the Thurii upper society people to know that the kingdom intelligence department is mainly your majesty serves for Davos! 这下轮到提奥斯感到紧张了:佩琉斯商人……情报总管的推荐……图里伊的上层人士都知道王国情报部是主要为戴弗斯陛下服务的！ Tios asks immediately: „This...... is Hess Claus your majesty is wearing the colored glaze relative?!” 提奥斯立刻问道:“这个赫……赫斯克劳斯可是陛下在佩琉斯的亲戚？！” „This I am not clear.” Sostratus both hands one, shrugs: „I looked that is not clear on Sir Reba, but was your majesty clear no one to know.” “这我可不清楚。”索斯塔图斯双手一摊,耸耸肩:“我看就连里巴佐大人自己也不清楚,但是陛下清不清楚就没人知道了。” During the Tios frown tight wrinkle, is lost in thought that after a while, he sincere saying: „It seems like this matter cannot complain about you, but as the president of Thurii chamber of commerce, you should understand you and his contradiction , if not solve as soon as possible , to continue the effect on the chamber of commerce is too big...... this, a while he comes, I first convinced him, then I as the peacemaker, you discussed with him again, both sides made some concessions, we strive for tonight this contradictory solution, how did you feel?” 提奥斯双眉紧皱、陷入了沉思之中,过了一会儿,他才正色的说道:“看来这件事也不能怨你,但作为图里伊商会的会长,你应该明白你和他的矛盾如果不尽快解决,继续下去对商会的影响太大……这样吧,一会儿他过来,我先说服他,然后我作为调解人,你再跟他商谈,双方都做一些让步,咱们争取在今晚就将这个矛盾解决,你觉得怎样？” „This is I hopes.” Sostratus some responses of doubts: „Does Dick Polis come today? My servant told me, he has not responded to my invitation.” “这正是我所希望的。”索斯塔图斯有些疑惑的回应道:“不过迪克波里斯今天来吗？我的仆人告诉我,他对我的邀请并没有作出回应。”
