Chapter 617: The situation of the human merchants (3 in 1)
Translator: 549690339
Zhao Hai was very satisfied with Atai’s work ability. Perhaps it was because of his personality, but he was very popular among the orcs. According to Atai, he had become good friends with many of the orcs.
However, Zhao Hai was still very calm. He knew very well that the human-beast hybrids were probably preparing to attack the human race. At this time, the chances of Atai successfully making a deal with the Tiger clan were not high.
However, Zhao Hai didn’t say it out loud, as it would affect Atai’s enthusiasm. Besides, it was because of this reckless personality that Atai was able to get close to the orcs.
After the meal, Zhao Hai and the others didn’t leave. Instead, they entered the tent that Atai had arranged for them to rest. Atai’s wife also served them milk tea.
Although they had just been given kaya, they were now giving milk tea. First, they had eaten a lot of meat, so drinking milk tea was good for them. Second, kaya was rare in the grasslands, and the orcs were not used to drinking it.
Zhao Hai and the others had stayed with the orcs for a long time, so they were used to drinking milk tea. Zhao Hai took a sip and sighed. &Quot; we still haven’t found a tree for this tea. I really want to plant this tea in my space. &Quot;
&Quot; what’s the matter, brother hai? ” Laura asked with a smile. &Quot; do you like milk tea? ”
Zhao Hai only smiled and did not say anything. He could not tell Laura that he liked green tea, not milk tea. However, he had not obtained the tea tree yet, so it was hard to say.
Zhao Hai was very clear that if he really made the tea leaves, it would be another exclusive business. He believed that not many people in the world could resist the charm of tea leaves.
Melgen did not care about that. She turned to Zhao Hai and said,”Big brother hai, what should we do next? Now that Atai has said that the war between the human race and the Beast race is really about to begin, should we stay here or return to the continent?”
Zhao Hai smiled and said, ” “Don’t worry, the continent is in chaos right now, and the king’s father-in-law has already arranged everything. Now, everyone on the continent knows that the Church of Light has cut off the food supply of the orcs, and the orcs are about to attack the continent. The power of the church in the Arkas Empire has suffered a great blow, because everyone in the Arkas Empire knows that if the orcs attack the humans, the Arkas Empire will be the first to bear the brunt. That’s why the people of the Arkas Empire don’t have a good impression of the Church of Light at all. However, things have not developed to the point where they can’t be controlled. We can wait for the orcs to decide to send troops to the humans before we return to the mainland.”
“Why do we have to wait until then to return to the continent?” melgen asked, puzzled.
Zhao Hai smiled. &Quot; only when this news is confirmed will the continent be in chaos. When the time comes, we will go directly to the Arkas Empire and poach some people. Don’t forget that our fansal family and the icksa family have a good relationship. Their territories are directly connected to the orcs. In this case, we should be able to poach some people from their territories. &Quot;
Laura smiled and said, ” “I’ve also heard that the Versailles clan is not having a good time. Last time, you helped the Versailles clan survive the crisis of extermination, but at the same time, you let those people know about your relationship with the Versailles clan. Now, the Arkas Empire is suppressing the Versailles clan everywhere, and this is no longer a news in the Arkas Empire. It can be said that the days of the two families in the Arkas Empire are not so good.”
Zhao Hai’s expression turned cold as he snorted, ” &Quot; if the Arkas Empire didn’t do this, I might have helped them through this crisis and even stopped the orcs from attacking. But now, they have to pay the price for what they have done. &Quot;
Laura and the others understood what Zhao Hai meant. With the existence of the realm, breadfruit, red soil, and the back view of the realm, Zhao Hai could provide food for the entire orc race. With food in their hands, the orcs would naturally not attack the humans. Although the orcs were warlike, they also knew that people would die in war. It was best if they didn’t have to fight.
However, Zhao Hai had given the orcs too much food. He wanted the war to happen. Not only would it deal a heavy blow to the akergong Empire, but it would also bring more trouble to his other enemy, the Church of Light.
In the next few days, Zhao Hai stayed in the red spider lily shop. He took out bamboo rice, breadfruit, and some daily necessities, filling up the entire shop.
However, the speed at which the items were being sold wasn’t very fast. It wasn’t just the red spider lily shop that was doing this. Most of the humans doing business in the beast God city were doing the same. The speed at which they were selling their items had slowed down, and this made the humans extremely anxious.
Before the human merchants came to the Prairie, they didn’t know that the orcs were in a food shortage or that the orcs were going to attack them. As usual, they came to the Prairie with carts of supplies after spring. All the people who came to the Prairie to do business with the orcs knew that After Winter, Spring would be the peak season for purchasing. They didn’t have to worry about selling the things they brought to the Prairie.
However, the situation this year was different. When those merchants first came, their business was really good. However, later on, there was news that the orcs ‘food shortage was caused by the Church of Light and that the orcs were going to attack the humans. As soon as this news was spread, the sales of the goods brought by the human merchants plummeted. Now, they could not complete a few batches of transactions in a day, and they were all small transactions. Those human merchants even wanted to die.
Those merchants knew that if the orcs and the humans started a war, the orcs would not trade with them. If the orcs wanted something, they could just Rob from the humans. They did not need to buy it from the merchants.
These human merchants had brought a lot of things to the grassland, but they were going to rot here because they knew that once the war between the orcs and the humans broke out, the orcs would drive them away. They couldn’t bring the things back to the humans, so they could only leave them here.
However, the orcs usually wouldn’t touch the things here. They would leave the things there. This was the principle of the orcs. However, if they were driven away, no one would take care of the things here. They would slowly be damaged, and this time, they would lose everything.
Of course, Zhao Hai had seen the situation these days. He knew that the merchants had suffered a huge loss this time. At the same time, he also knew that these merchants must have no relationship with the Church of Light. It was likely that they had a grudge against the church. Otherwise, the Church of Light would not have not informed them and watched them jump into the fire pit.
However, Zhao Hai thought about it and understood the church’s intention. If the church’s plan was successful, they would push all the blame to the Roson Empire. The merchants would then hate the Roson Empire. When the church appeared, they would tell them that the merchants who were related to the church would not suffer any losses and would join the church. This way, the Church of Light would be able to control the merchants. That would almost be able to control the prices of goods in the orc tribe. No, no, no, the plan of the Church of Light was really brilliant.
If Zhao Hai had not accidentally ruined their plan, both the Roson Empire and the orcs would not have had a good time in the future.
However, now that Zhao Hai knew what the church of Light was thinking, he would not let them have their way. He observed the merchants for a few days and realized that they were really at the end of their rope. They could not transport the items back, but they could not sell them either. The reason why they had not left the beast God city was that they could still make one or two transactions every day. They hoped to sell more items. This way, they could minimize their losses, so they just relied on it until the orcs started to drive them away.
This was an opportunity for Zhao Hai. He could buy all the items from the merchants. Otherwise, they would be useless. Buying these items would solve the merchants ‘biggest problem. He could also build a relationship with them. In the future, they would be grateful to him. By then, he might be able to lower the Church of Light’s control over the merchants through them. This would prevent such a situation from happening in the orc Plains.
Zhao Hai immediately told Laura and the others about his idea. To be honest, Zhao Hai was more inclined to listen to Laura’s opinion on business. Laura was very talented in doing business.
After hearing Zhao Hai’s idea, Lola immediately agreed. She also felt that Zhao Hai’s idea was good, very good. Thus, she immediately sent Atai out to contact those merchants and test their bottom line.
Although Atai was straightforward, he had been doing business for so many years. In addition, he had a very shrewd wife supporting him. He knew a lot about business. He immediately began to test those human merchants.
Atai’s nickname was “silly Atai,” which made those merchants have a preconceived idea. Their wariness towards him dropped to a very low level. In addition to Atai’s usual carefree appearance, this also made those merchants even more defenseless against him. Atai soon inquired about the bottom line of those merchants.
Now, the merchants ‘requirements were not high. As long as they didn’t lose too much, it would be fine. In their opinion, they would definitely lose this time. They only hoped to recover some of their capital.
