In the passenger compartment in tavern. 酒馆的包间中。 Was still discussing with Count Ivan a moment ago how to give Arnold who the St. Hilde family dug a pit, at this time helped Colin unexpectedly respectfully but actually the liquor, simultaneously flattered to say with a smile: 刚才还在跟埃文伯爵商议着如何给圣希尔德家族挖坑的阿诺德,此时竟恭恭敬敬地帮柯林倒着酒,同时谄媚地笑道: „Count Sir, I after all am north one boundary person, naturally north tendency boundary! That Ivan St. Plossi overreaches oneself to encourage me unexpectedly to betray the northern boundary, is really laughable!” “伯爵大人,我毕竟是一个北境人,当然心向北境！那个埃文・圣普洛斯竟然不自量力想要鼓动我出卖北境,真是可笑！” The northern boundary merchant who Colin faint smile looks at a front this face righteous qi, before as if forgot the opposite party, contacts the Count Ivan matter in the butter tavern secretly. 柯林似笑非笑地看着面前这个一脸正气的北境商人,仿佛忘记了对方之前在黄油酒馆中暗自接触埃文伯爵的事情。 Clearly, if did not get the handle by Colin, Arnold will turn into the northern boundary person of standing firm and unyielding suddenly? 很明显,如果不是被柯林抓住了把柄,阿诺德又怎么会突然间变成了坚贞不屈的北境人？ Colin will never forget, these merchants for the benefit, are anything can betray. 柯林永远不会忘记,这些商人为了利益,是什么都可以出卖的。 But is good because, oneself can give them a bigger benefit, so long as they are obedient. 但好在,自己能够给他们更大的利益,只要他们听话。 Similarly, if not obedient, can win their all. 同样,如果不听话,也能夺走他们的一切。 „Mr. Arnold, you are really north the model of boundary merchant!” “阿诺德先生,您真是北境商人的楷模！” „Count Sir, you overpraised! In my mind, you are north the model of boundary knight, the outstanding person in aristocrat!” “伯爵大人,您过奖了！在我的心中,您才是北境骑士的楷模,贵族中的佼佼者！” Two people flattered sincere mutually, immediately carried the wine glass, toasted for this friendship. 两人情真意切地相互吹捧一番,随即端起酒杯,为这份友谊干杯。 In the liquor the cup tosses down, Arnold puts down the wine glass, sized up Colin's complexion quietly, later probes was saying: 将杯中酒一饮而尽,阿诺德放下酒杯,悄悄打量了一下柯林的脸色,随后试探着说道: „Count Sir, has a matter I not to know that should ask......” “伯爵大人,有件事我不知道该不该问……” Colin shot a look at opposite party one eyes at will, said lightly: „Relax, I comply with your matter not to renege on a promise, haven't you believed my prestige?” 柯林随意地瞥了对方一眼,淡淡道:“放心吧,我答应你的事情就绝不会反悔,难道你还不相信我的信誉？” „Not.” Arnold beckons with the hand to say again and again, „Count Sir, you misunderstood. I certainly believe that you will not treat unjustly the loyal subordinate. Why am I only somewhat cannot think through you to give an eastern boundary such getting rich opportunity?” “不不不。”阿诺德连连摆手道,“伯爵大人,您误会了。我当然相信您不会亏待忠诚的属下。我只是有些想不通您为什么要送给东境这样一个发财的机会？” „Gets rich?” Colin laughs at one, „you also thought that is a getting rich good opportunity?” “发财？”柯林嗤笑一声,“你也觉得那是个发财的好机会？” In Arnold heart frightened, but has the courage saying: „Sir, do you really plan to renege these bonds? With all due respect, this will perhaps attack the St. Hilde family's prestige seriously.” 阿诺德心中惴惴,但还是鼓起勇气说道:“大人,难道您真的打算赖掉那些债券？恕我直言,这恐怕会严重打击到圣希尔德家族的信誉。” Colin teased with a smile: „You are very good, started is the St. Hilde family considers.” 柯林笑着调侃道:“你很不错,都开始为圣希尔德家族着想了呀。” „Naturally, the great St. Hilde family's in boundary person heart north each has the lofty position!” Arnold complexion said devotionally that appearance, seems paying homage to own belief. “当然,伟大的圣希尔德家族在每一位北境人心中都拥有崇高的地位！”阿诺德脸色虔诚地说道,那副样子,仿佛在膜拜自己的信仰。 Colin has not paid attention to Arnold to show loyally, but said lightly: „ You could rest assured that the St. Hilde family will not ruin own prestige, no matter who takes these due bonds to arrive at the lion roar fort, we will cash, even if east the boundary person is also the same. 柯林没理会阿诺德表忠心,而是淡淡地说道:“你放心,圣希尔德家族不会毁掉自己的信誉,不管是谁拿着那些到期债券来到狮吼堡,我们都会兑付,哪怕是东境人也一样。 However, you said that the eastern boundary person can through storing up the bond and operation grain price makes an unexpected wealth, hehe, that took for granted. ” 不过,你说东境人能够通过囤积债券和操纵粮价发一笔横财,呵呵,那就太想当然了。” Arnold is puzzled, asked: „Count Sir, I am please dull-witted, cannot understand your meaning.” 阿诺德一脸疑惑,问道:“伯爵大人,请恕我愚钝,不太能明白您的意思。” Actually Colin to the pit that Count Ivan digs, to put it bluntly, is simple being similar in the operation of stock. 其实柯林给埃文伯爵挖的坑,说白了,就是一个简单的类似于期货的操作。 Count Ivan in the eastern boundary low price purchase grain, attains the northern boundary to change into the bond at this time, these bonds can regard as futures contracts. 埃文伯爵此时在东境低价收购粮食,拿到北境来换成债券,这些债券就可以视为一份份期货合约。 In the day of future delivery, when is the bond expires, so long as the boundary of northern boundary grain price the present east is higher, that Count Ivan can depend on this price difference to gain one greatly, even makes the St. Hilde family unable to spend enough money to purchase the grain of correspondence, thus creates the credit default. 到了将来的交割之日,也就是债券到期之时,只要北境粮价比现在东境高,那埃文伯爵就能靠着这个差价大赚一笔,甚至让圣希尔德家族拿不出足够的钱购买到对应的粮食,从而造成信用违约。 But here has a key question- when the delivery grain price be higher than the present. 但这里有个关键问题-交割时的粮价一定要比现在高。 Otherwise, the eastern boundary will owe the underpants...... 否则,东境就会亏掉裤衩…… But Arnold and Count Ivan will be swindled, was limited the thought by this time. 而阿诺德和埃文伯爵之所以会上当,都是被这个时代局限了思维。 In time that in this productive forces are insufficient, the grain has actually been at the condition of insufficiently eating, therefore, to make the grain price rise is easy, comes the field chaos caused by war casually, even is several big chambers of commerce stores up jointly, can make the grain price flee to ascend the sky. 在这个生产力不足的时代中,粮食其实一直都处于不够吃的状态,所以,要想让粮价上涨非常容易,随便来场战乱,甚至是几个大商会联手囤积,都能让粮价窜上天去。 This is also the origin of Count Ivan confidence. 这也是埃文伯爵信心的来源。 In his opinion, in the future the operation grain price will seek friendships is not a difficult matter, can definitely make the St. Hilde family swallow the bitter fruit by this. 在他看来,将来操纵粮价一路高攀并不是一件难事,肯定能以此来让圣希尔德家族吞下苦果。 But he actually does not know, Colin had been determined makes scholar Sonne carry out the new farming and animal husbandry system in the northern boundary. 但他却不知道,柯林已经决心让桑尼学士在北境推行新农牧体系。 Moreover Colin is also confident, with the popularization of this new farming and animal husbandry system, the grain of northern boundary will be getting more and more abundant in the future, trend that the grain price also falls certainly. 而且柯林也有信心,随着这个新农牧体系的普及,未来北境的粮食会越来越充裕,粮价也一定是一路下跌的趋势。 This is the situation of supply-demand relation decision, if the eastern boundary wants to reverse this situation, hehe, completes by the fate that this mighty current steamroll sweeps across. 这是供求关系决定的大势,东境如果想要逆转这个大势,呵呵,就做好被这股洪流碾压席卷的下场吧。 Naturally, this pass/test hole Colin did not plan that explained clearly to Arnold, after all he was unable to trust this merchant completely, therefore said lightly: 当然,这个关窍柯林并不打算跟阿诺德解释清楚,毕竟他还不能完全信任这位商人,于是只是淡淡地说道: „You pay attention to a next future grain price trend well, having a look at the eastern boundary really to gain one greatly, even coerces the St. Hilde family?” “那你就好好关注一下将来的粮价走势,看看东境是不是真的能大赚一笔,甚至借此要挟圣希尔德家族？” Arnold nods perplexed, actually does not dare to ask. 阿诺德不明所以地点点头,却也不敢多问。 Colin confessed Arnold several, making him complete this extremely promising undercover work safely, then left. 柯林又交代了阿诺德几句,让他安心做好这份极有前途的卧底工作,然后便离开了。 ...... …… After three days, is officially established by the northern boundary foreign trade company that Colin places the great expectations finally. 三日后,被柯林寄予厚望的北境对外贸易公司终于正式成立了。 More than 500 every large or small northern boundary merchants get together in the banquet hall in lion roar fort, witnessed this historical time together. 五百多名大大小小的北境商人齐聚在狮吼堡的宴会大厅中,共同见证了这一历史性的时刻。 Because the Count Ivan attention was shifted on the bond by Colin, therefore, without the involvement in secret eastern boundary, Colin had not been many time-comsuming successfully to occupy the new company about 60% stocks. 由于埃文伯爵的注意力被柯林转移到了债券上面,所以,没有了东境的暗中介入,柯林没费多少功夫就成功占据了新公司近百分之六十的股份。 Naturally, such a big fund, background superficial Angelie family definitely with, even if throws is still insufficient the war indemnity in Troll empire completely. 当然,这样一大笔资金,底蕴浅薄的安格列家族肯定是拿不出来的,就算将巨魔帝国的战争赔款全部投进去也根本不够。 Is good because of also has the St. Hilde family and Uman family and Schultz family, as well as half elf kingdom's Mill families lends a hand, this made Colin successfully control the board of directors, combined to make, for north the first chairman of boundary foreign trade company. 好在还有圣希尔德家族、乌曼家族、舒尔茨家族、以及半精灵王国的米勒家族帮衬,这才让柯林成功掌控了董事会,并成为了北境对外贸易公司的第一任董事长。 Olive was also appointed by Vera as the company's first general manager fruitfully . Moreover, the management team member in company, is responsible for the personnel of human affairs and financial these two most integral parts particularly, is the backbone of original tulip chamber of commerce. 奥利弗也如愿以偿地被薇拉任命为公司第一任总经理,而且,公司的经营团队成员,尤其是负责人事和财务这两项最重要部门的人员,都是原先郁金香商会的骨干。 Hence, was established by the northern boundary foreign trade company of Colin control completely finally. 至此,一个被柯林完全控制的北境对外贸易公司终于成立了。 In Colin's conception, it will become himself to conform with and control the northern boundary business circle, and implements the sharp weapon of economical invasion outward. 在柯林的构想中,它将成为自己整合、掌控北境商界,并对外实行经济入侵的利器。 Meanwhile, the northern boundary charity foundation also announced being established. 同时,北境慈善基金会也宣布成立。 Compares in Beijing the foreign trade for the company, the establishment of this foundation seems very low-key. 相比于北境对外贸易供公司,这个基金会的成立显得非常低调。 Moreover, except for Colin, but also no one realizes its tremendous potential and true function. 而且,除了柯林,还没有任何人意识到它巨大的潜力和真正的作用。 After processing the business circle the issue, Colin then starts to go to half elf kingdom prepares. 处理好商界的问题后,柯林便开始为前往半精灵王国做准备。 Actually present the hidden danger of northern boundary has not completely eliminated, for example Mr. Wizard, Prince Reich and Morison family, but, these issue Colin also feel now are quite thorny, for a while is unable to process. 其实现在的北境的隐患还没有完全消除,比如觋先生、莱希亲王、莫里森家族,不过,这些问题柯林现在也感觉颇为棘手,一时无法处理。 Was good had reached the agreement because of him with Mr. Wizard, although this Colin's reliability to this agreement had the anxiety, but in a short time, believes that Mr. Wizard will not raise the too big storm in the northern boundary, after all he really had the foundation of cooperation with Colin in certain aspects. 好在他已经跟觋先生达成了协议,虽然这个柯林对这个协议的可靠性存在疑虑,但短时间内,相信觋先生也不会在北境掀起太大的风浪,毕竟他跟柯林在某些方面确实有合作的基础。 Let alone, Prince Reich is staring at this fearful Wizard. 更何况,还有莱希亲王在盯着这个可怕的法师。 Colin can only put down these hidden dangers temporarily, processes one more important, more urgent issue- grain. 柯林只能暂时放下这些隐患,去处理一个更重要,也更加紧迫的问题-粮食。 Queen Aisha has received a letter, compares in previous time unprepared, the grain merchants of this half elf have joined up, they are not willing to be forced to buy a lot of grain like last year by Colin at the low price again . Moreover, their back, as if east the support of boundary. 艾莎女王已经来信了,相较于上次的毫无准备,这次半精灵的粮商们已经联合起来,他们不愿再像去年一样被柯林强迫以低价买走大量粮食,而且,他们的背后,似乎还有东境的支持。 Therefore, Colin this preparation brings Blood Cavalry Army to go to the silver semi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate, to these asking for money reckless half elf merchants profound lessons. 所以,柯林这次准备带着血骑军前往银月城,给那些要钱不要命的半精灵商人们一个深刻的教训。 After the development of more than half a year, present Blood Cavalry Army has inflated to close to 20,000 people of scales, although with peak rides the army to compare black also has very big disparity, but could have been called is a quite fearful military power. 经过大半年的发展,如今的血骑军已经膨胀到接近两万人的规模,虽然跟巅峰时期的黑骑军相比还有很大差距,但已经称得上是一股相当可怕的军事力量了。 At least in half elf kingdom, nothing can threaten its influence. 至少在半精灵王国境内,没有任何可以威胁到它的势力。 Only if the eastern boundary dispatches troops on a large scale, enters half elf kingdom. 除非东境大举出兵,进军半精灵王国。 In that case, perhaps to Colin instead is a good deed. 那样的话,或许对柯林来说反而是件好事。 Because this means that the eastern boundary gave up the biggest place benefitting advantage- angry water river. 因为这就意味着东境放弃了自己最大的地利优势-怒水河。 Colin is glad to form the northern boundary allied armies, disputes in half elf kingdom with the eastern boundary army. 柯林非常乐意组建北境联军,与东境大军在半精灵王国境内较量一场。 However, this is also only Colin thinks that Duke St. Plossi will want stupidly, not to do. 不过,这也只是柯林自己想想而已,圣普洛斯公爵只要不傻,就不会这么干。 In late September, Colin after saying good-bye Vera, personally led Blood Cavalry Army to leave Winterfell City enormously and powerful, set out to the silver semi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate. 9月下旬,柯林在辞别薇拉之后,亲自率领血骑军浩浩荡荡地离开了凛冬城,向银月城进发。
