"Black pearls can be mass-produced. You mean to say that they can produce white pearls like the Sapphire Family's pearl oysters?"
Levis was surprised.
Rolia, who was sitting next to him, was playing with a few black pearls that were smaller than ping pong balls that Liszt had taken out. "Levis, the black pearl pendant you gave me was made of this kind of black pearl, right? And that huge black pearl, is it the same kind? "
Levis nodded. "That's right, Rolia."
Liszt faintly smiled. "My wedding gift to you is the black pearl that can disperse the wind attribute magic within a range of two to three hundred meters. It's the same kind as the gift Levis gave you. These black pearls are produced by the sea monster Black Giant Clam."
Levis couldn't help but complain, "But when you sold me the black pearls, you said that they can't be mass-produced. They are rare items!"
"At that time, they were indeed rare items. However, after continuously exploring the ocean, I finally found a place where Black Giant Clams live. Therefore, the black pearls became a specialty of my territory."
"Now that you are selling the black pearls to me, you won't be selling them at the original price, right?"
"Brother, the two black pearls were expensive. Indeed, there is a principle that the rarer something is, the more precious it is. But you can't deny that their value is very high. Moreover, even if the Black Giant Clams became a specialty of my territory, the production is still very limited. They are still a rare item. "
"How much are you going to sell them?"
"I actually don't intend to sell them to you. Of course, if you are willing to buy them, as long as the price is right, I can give you an appropriate discount." Liszt casually solicited business and continued, "Actually, I intend to sell the black pearls to Rolia. I don't know if you are interested?"
"Selling?" Rolia's eyes lit up.
Although aristocrats despise merchants, they are not ashamed to do business.
"Yes, according to the different specifications of the black pearls, I can set a different price. I can give you a certain amount of commission, Rolia. For example, I can set the price of the black pearl in your hand at 50 gold coins. You can take it to Golden Island and sell it. I will give you a 10% commission, which is 5 gold coins. "
Rolia was moved.
But she looked at Levis.
Levis rubbed his chin. "Black pearls are indeed good, more valuable than white pearls. I can do this business. But ten points is too little, at least twenty points. "
"Twenty points? Why don't you just rob a bank? " Liszt cried out in alarm, "Brother, sister-in-law, black pearls are pearls produced by the sea monster Black Giant Clam. I have to pay a huge price to hunt them, and I even have to pay with the lives of fishermen. They look like black pearls, but they are actually blood-stained pearls!"
When it came to making up stories, Liszt was never afraid.
He tried his best to describe the difficulty of harvesting the Black Giant Clam. He described himself as being so poor that he had to risk his life and death battle with sea monsters to fish out black pearls in exchange for some gold coins.
Perhaps.
It was because his performance was too exaggerated that Levis was unmoved. "Black pearls are obviously not expensive items that small nobles can consume. To sell them to the greater nobles, they need channels. Liszt, if you want us to come up with channels to do business, you can't be less than twenty points. "
Liszt also had a toothache. It seemed that if he didn't bleed a little, he wouldn't be able to talk business.
However, he quickly thought of a new way to stop losses. "The price I set for the size and specifications of the black pearls is fixed, and the commission is fixed at 10%. But … if you can sell them for a higher price, then the higher part of the price will be your profit!"
"Really?"
"Of course."
"Good!" Levis and Rolia looked at each other and immediately decided, "How many black pearls do you have, we will take them all. Although this business is troublesome and requires Rolia to use a lot of her connections. But we should be able to earn a lot of hard work in a short period of time to make up for the consumption of my marriage. "
"I don't have many black pearls, so each one needs to be carefully checked for a satisfactory price. Then you have to pay me a sum of gold coins in advance as a deposit. I am seriously short of money for the construction of my territory. "
"There isn't much liquid capital in the castle. I can probably move around three thousand gold coins and below if I scrape together." Levis said.
Rolia suddenly interjected, "Levis, I still have some private dowries. I can probably raise about five thousand gold coins."
"Three thousand plus five thousand, a total of eight thousand gold coins. Okay, the deposit is enough!"
…
The largest black pearls that Liszt provided for sale were only slightly bigger than a big bowl. The others were all small black pearls.
The large black pearls that could be used to make the Wind-calming Divine Pearl were all kept for future use.
Levis and his wife were very bold.
They believed that the black pearls could definitely be sold at a high price, so they bought all the black pearls in Liszt's hands.
The price of this batch of black pearls ranged from the highest 1,500 gold coins to the smallest 50 gold coins, which was a total of 24,550 gold coins. Eight thousand gold coins were paid as a deposit first, and the subsequent 17,550 gold coins would be paid after the black pearls were sold out.
"It's a pleasure to cooperate with you, Liszt."
"It's a pleasure to cooperate with you, Levis, Rolia."
After the inventory work was completed, the three were very satisfied – Liszt was satisfied that he finally had enough money on hand and did not need to borrow money.
As for how much the Levis and his wife could earn from this batch of black pearls, that was the other party's ability. He sold it at the price he wanted, and how much others could earn through channels had nothing to do with him, let alone jealousy or regret. In this regard, his mentality was very good.
After all, black pearls were not a one-time business.
At worst, the next batch would be saved and the price would be raised.
The siren A Qi often went to Pearl Lake to collect some black pearls. She was very skilled in magic and could take advantage of some black giant clams opening their shells to directly dig out the black pearls. She didn't even need to kill, basically achieving sustainable development and a steady stream of black pearls.
Of course.
What could be collected now were small black pearls, and large black giant clams did not live in Pearl Lake.
Liszt used the smallest black pearls to string a black pearl necklace and gave it to his sister Lvera as a gift in advance. At the same time, he also paid off the 800 gold coins he owed to Lvera and the 2,000 gold coins he owed to Madam Penélope – he didn't like the feeling of owing money to others.
Most of the rest of the money was invested in purchasing food and production materials.
With the help of the Tulip family's caravan and the Beer Island's caravan, a large number of wheat, barley, corn, beans and other grains were purchased from the outer islands and stored in the warehouse on Black Horse Island.
