Victor sits in a Neverwinter City tavern theater box, is reading the recent trade bill. 维克多坐在无冬城的一间酒馆包厢中,翻看着最近的贸易账单。 Different with the downstairs noisy hall, this without doubt is an upscale housing. The floor upper berth the wool rug, under the soft cot is equipped with the heated kang, from entering the room arrives to lie down, the both feet will not feel a chill in the air. 和楼下嘈杂的大厅不同,这无疑是一间高档住房。地板上铺着羊毛绒毯,软榻下方设有火炕,从进屋到躺下,双脚都不会感到一丝寒意。 According to his request, the shop owner still installs the wooden table board that has been able to move by the soft cot, not only does not hinder usually to rest, if needed and can treat as the short table use. Especially in winter that the wind and snow howl, partly sat on the cot handles matters is also considered as on is one type enjoys. 按照他的要求,店家还在软榻旁加装了一块可以活动的木桌板,既不妨碍平时歇息,需要时又能当做矮桌使用。特别是在风雪呼啸的冬季,半坐在榻上办事也算得上是一种享受了。 At this moment, near his left hand then suspends one to roast the golden yellow chicken brisket slice, the right is one cup of quiet purple Chaos Drink, how regardless of the flavor, light this starter, to have been first worth on ten gold royal. 此刻,他的左手边便摆着一盘烤得金黄的鸡胸肉切片,右边则是一杯幽紫色的混沌饮料,先不论味道如何,光这一份餐点,就已值得上十枚金龙。 A jewelry merchant as outwardly on, Lothar Family 4th child in fact, these may be called the expenses of great sum of money in the average man eyes, to him is not anything. On under the flower gold royal, was enjoyed the comfort that the riches and honor bring by oneself, became his subconscious action, but is worth not in his consideration range. 作为一名明面上的珠宝商人,实际上的洛萨家四子,这些在常人眼里堪称巨款的开销,对他而言并不算什么。花上一笔金龙,让自己享受下富贵带来的舒适,已成为了他下意识的举动,而值不值并不在他的考虑范围内。 Since two months ago visits named „train” after great shape machinery first show, he has then bought a room on this tavern three, has regarded own commercial station. 自打两个月前参观完名为“火车”的巨形机械首秀后,他便在这家酒馆三层买下了一间屋子,当成了自己的商业驻地。 Naturally, at his wealth, even if purchases 12 real estate is not the difficult matter, but Victor likes this being neither friendly nor aloof feeling-- is not only in one tranquilly, and can feel noise of floor. Compared with that traditional noble pleasing big house, he always fills to yearn to tavern such place. 当然,以他的财富,即使购置12处房产也不是难事,但维克多更喜欢这种若即若离的感觉——既处于一份宁静中,又能感受到底层的喧闹。比起那种传统贵族中意的大宅子,他总是对酒馆这样的地方充满向往。 Not only discussed the business for various convenience and group of caravans. 不仅仅是为了方便和各路商队洽谈生意。 If there is any thing most to respond a vigor and business prosperity of degree city intuitively, then inevitable is located in the tavern in downtown area. 若有什么东西最能直观的反应一个城市的活力与商贸繁荣程度,那么必然是位于闹市区里的酒馆了。 Turns the last page, sheepskin itself of Victor about in beginning, has carried that cup of glittering and translucent carving drink. Under shine of candlelight, purple passes the red liquid just like too beautiful to behold gem. 翻完最后一页,维克多合上手中的羊皮本,端起了那杯晶莹剔透的饮料。在烛光的映照下,紫中透红的液体宛如一颗美不胜收的宝石。 Recently in the bill presented a small trouble. 最近账单上出现了点小小的麻烦。 That was he has not received raw gems in Western Region a long time. 那便是他有很长一段时间没有在西境收到过宝石原石了。 Struggled the war of king to make the Greycastle situation have the enormous change, the city has destroyed at the flames of war, noble no longer has fief, these changes made the luxury goods price drop lower and lower, want to maintain the original profit, must enhance the sales volume. May not have the original stone words, his jewelry craftsmen hand/subordinate possibly has not changed gem. 争王之战令灰堡局势发生了极大的改变,城市毁于战火,贵族不再拥有封地,这些变化令奢侈品的价格一降再降,想要维持住原先的利润,就必须提高销量。可没有原石的话,他手下的珠宝匠人也没可能变出宝石来。 Longsong Stronghold is his big original stone provided, but after Roland Wimbledon announced established Neverwinter City, the original stone originates even more to be then deficient. He once went to Longsong region to visit several times, discovered that there all mining site-- this were not been strange by the young King income pouch , the amassing money itself is the feudal lord general characteristics, what is strange, after these deliver to transport to the border region area, as if baseless vanished generally. 长歌要塞原本是他的一大原石提供地,但罗兰.温布顿宣布建立无冬城后,原石来源便越发匮乏起来。他曾去长歌区走访过数次,发现那里所有的矿区都已被年轻国王收入囊中——这并不奇怪,敛财本就是领主的通性,奇怪的是,那些产出运到边陲区后,仿佛都凭空消失了一般。 Right, he had not found a jeweller in Neverwinter City. 没错,他至今没有在无冬城找到一家珠宝店。 Either sell original stone makes a profit, either after investing a fund, makes gem makes a profit, feudal lord method nothing else but these two types. Former he can earn the price difference, the latter can cooperate to sell-- trades the channel, to further process the jewelry, he has the strength that the opposite party is unable to reject. 要么出售原石获利,要么投入一笔资金、制成宝石后获利,领主的手段无外乎这两种。前者他可以赚取差价,后者则可以合作销售——无论是贩卖渠道、还是进一步加工成首饰,他都有着对方无法拒绝的实力。 But King has not left him including method of involvement. 可国王偏偏连介入的门路都没有留给他。 Resembles Roland Wimbledon not to plan that makes money general with gem. 就好像罗兰.温布顿根本不打算用宝石来赚钱一般。 This made Victor somewhat worried. 这就让维克多有些苦恼了。 He also attempts to manufacture the good jewelry to attain Neverwinter City to trade, the result is vexed similarly very much. Common people impossible of any place can use this type frequently dozens gold royal expensive commodities, they always only supply the rich noble aristocratic family, to satisfy them in the demand that at the banquet shows off and competes. But here did not have noble in traditional sense! 他也尝试过将制作好的首饰拿到无冬城来贩卖,结果同样很糟心。任何地方的平民都不可能用得起这种动辄数十枚金龙的昂贵商品,它们从来都只供给富有的贵族世家,以满足他们在宴会上炫耀与攀比的需求。但这里偏偏没有了传统意义上的贵族！ Right, a huge new town, actually to jewellery ornaments deficient interest, this is the matter that he is unexpected. 没错,一座如此庞大的新城,却对珠宝首饰缺乏兴趣,这是他始料未及的事情。 Arrives at Neverwinter repeatedly, here has only bought the cargo, actually really unusually sells, the sheepskin on account presents the lopsided tendency. 多次来到无冬,只在这里购入过货物,却甚少有卖出,羊皮本上的账目呈现出一面倒的倾向。 This without doubt is a unhealthy signal. 这无疑是个不健康的信号。 Train already made Victor realize, in the future arrived, but distributes-- by no means on average but for better development business, he naturally must go most to draw close to the future place. Shifts from old Kingdom Capital the business center of gravity to new Kingdom Capital, is he chooses inevitably. 火车的出现已让维克多意识到,未来已经到来,只不过并非平均分布——而为了更好的拓展生意,他自然要去最贴近未来的地方。将生意重心从旧王都转移到新王都,也是他必然的选择。 The issue is what to do in the future won't have this profession should? 问题是未来里没有这一行业该怎么办？ He is not short of money, even if anything does not do, can enjoy the abundant life. But he must in trade line show that oneself ability, making these coveted the family and " Black Money " the merchants be speechless. 他不缺钱,即使什么都不做,也能享受到富足的一生。但他必须在贸易这行上证明自己的能力,令那些觊觎家族及「黑钱」的商人都无话可说。 He cannot disappoint the father. 他不能让父亲失望。 In Victor was pondering how when can solve this problem, downstairs clamoring sound enhanced several times suddenly, slightly shivers including the floor. 就在维克多思考着怎样才能解决这一问题时,楼下的喧哗声忽然提高了好几倍,连楼板都微微颤抖起来。 Now to at nightfall also early, should not be the liquor people elated time, was what happened? 现在离入夜还早,理应不是酒民欢畅的时刻,是发生什么事了吗？ He has sounded the copper bell of call maidservant. 他拉响了呼叫侍女的铜铃。 „Has disturbed,” quick beauty beautiful female pushed the door to walk come in, „what did you have to tell?” “打扰了,”很快一名姿色姣好的女子推门走了进来,“您有什么吩咐？” That flash of opening the door, the noise increased suddenly, he as if hears some people to read out anything loudly. 开门的那一瞬间,吵闹声陡然增大了许多,他似乎听到有人在大声宣读着什么。 Victor has referred to out, „downstairs how?” 维克多指了指门外,“楼下怎么了？” „Sorry, Sir, did they quarrel you?” Maidservant apology smiled wear a look, „matter that this does not have the means that after all today is the day that the newspaper sells, everybody is rushing to purchase.” “抱歉,大人,他们吵到您了吗？”侍女面带歉意地笑了笑,“这也是没办法的事,毕竟今天是报纸发售的日子,大家都在抢着购买呢。” „Report...... Paper?” His irritable redundant say/way. “报……纸？”他别扭的重复道。 „Yes, one week ago Your Majesty has issued the announcement, said that will substitute for the square publicity board with it, everybody anticipated for a long time, wants to have a look at the newspaper is any thing.” “是的,一周前陛下就发布了公告,说会用它来取代广场的宣传栏,大家可是期待了好久,都想看看报纸到底是什么东西。” Also left the new thing? Was new Kingdom Capital, Victor came the interest worthily immediately, „how many did it sell?” 呵,又出新玩意了吗？不愧是新王都,维克多顿时来了兴趣,“它卖多少？” „Heard that one is ten copper royal.” “听说一份是十枚铜鹰。” „Also helps me buy one...... No, buys ten!” He said immediately. “也帮我买一……不,买十份！”他立刻说道。 „Yes.” The maidservants tread the tread tread to run down building shortly, quick pantingly ran, „big, Sir...... The newspaper that delivers has sold-out completely.” “是。”侍女蹬蹬蹬地跑下楼没多久,很快又气喘吁吁地跑了回来,“大、大人……送过来的报纸已经全部卖完了。” „Is so quick?” Victor is astonished blinked, if it is a commodity, rather also too sold. However this cannot baffle him, is not puts up the cash, „in the person hand that from buying buys, money is not the issue!” “这么快？”维克多讶异地眨了眨眼,如果说它是一种商品的话,未免也太好卖了点。不过这一点儿也难不倒他,不就是砸钱嘛,“那就从买到的人手里买,钱不是问题！” He waved the arms about to lose the maidservant arms gold royal, „, so long as can buy, remaining was your!” 他甩手将一枚金龙丢到了侍女怀里,“只要能买来,剩下的都是你的！” „Yes! Sir!” The girl lights up with pleasure to say. “是！大人！”女孩喜笑颜开道。 After half quarter, six packs of iron grey newspapers have then handed in front of him. 半刻钟之后,六叠灰白色的报纸便递到了他面前。 „The following price rose 20 silver royal, I have made contribution......” maidservant stammering to say. “下面的价格已经涨到了20枚银狼,我已经尽力了……”侍女期期艾艾道。 This is saw that some people do sit the starting price under situation of massive purchase? But the facial expression of opposite party freely has not completed the duty bottom of heart idea expose with nothing left-- obviously, she actually does not hate to pay the remaining money. Victor thinks little but actually, „do you name?” 这是看到有人在大量收购的情况下坐地起价么？而对方的神情显然把心底的想法都暴露无遗——尽管没有完成任务,她却舍不得把剩下的钱交出来。维克多倒不以为意,“你叫什么名字？” „Exquisite, Sir.” “玲珑,大人。” „These money you are remaining,” he shook the newspaper in hand, „other, can you look at this with me?” “那些钱你留着吧,”他晃了晃手中的报纸,“另外,你能和我一起看这个吗？” Since the good food and good wine had, then the thing of nature lacking is self-evident. The opposite party breathes heavily lightly the chest of fluctuating, the aura that the thin perspiration that as well as the tip of the nose emits, all sends out the young blood, saw the noble female, this slightly clumsy girl had a unique flavor but actually. Let alone the opposite party is the Neverwinter City resident, if meets any puzzled place, but can also ask why to her. 既然美食和美酒都有了,那么所缺之物自然不言而喻。对方轻喘起伏的胸口,以及鼻尖冒出的细汗,无一不散发出青春活力的气息,见多了贵族女子,这种略显笨拙的姑娘倒别有一番风味。何况对方是无冬城居民,若遇到什么不解之处,还能向她问个究竟。 „Sir Victor......” maidservant lowered the head, the cheeks appeared to wipe to blush, after a while, bit the lip to nod, returned to say low voice, „I wanted.” “维克多大人……”侍女低下头去,脸颊浮现出了一抹羞红,过了一会儿,才咬唇点了点头,小声回道,“我愿意。” „Hahaha,” he has patted the soft cot with a smile, „many thanks you accompanied.” “哈哈哈,”他笑着拍了拍软榻,“那么就多谢你相陪了。”
