Chapter 28 New Fire Ceremony (16)
Amy sat on the bed of a hostel and shook her feet. The hostel was very simple, and there was nothing but a bed and a lamp in the room. The windows were broken for several holes, and they were sewn with a tequila cloth to avoid wind. Although it was daytime, the room was still very dim and the lamp needed to be lit. The lamps were covered with ashes. From time to time, mice ran past the ground "squeaking".
During the new fire ceremony, there were too many foreigners coming to Tenochtitlan. Almost all the hotels were full, and better hotels could not be stayed in at all. Amy searched for a long time before finding this hotel that was on the verge of collapse at the corner where the fewest traffic in Tenochtitlan. After using pirates to temporarily strengthen the room, she could barely live in the house. Although the house she lived in was dilapidated, it was already the best room in the entire building. More than half of her men could only sleep in the open air on the road because they did not have a room to live.
But even such a desolate and dilapidated small hostel, there have been endless guests coming and going in the past few days. They come from different city-states, either rich merchants dressed in gorgeous clothes, fully armed warriors, and even elders of many city-states. Neighbors who don’t know the truth talked about it, and they couldn’t think of any big man in this hostel that could make so many people from the city-state come to visit together. The elders of the local Karple even mistakenly thought that the people living in it were Tessosomok or Nesavalkoyotel, and prepared a bunch of gifts to visit.
At present, standing in front of the simple bed are several elite warriors from Leibteid - in fact, they are also nobles of Leibteid. In the Aztland Empire, no matter how high the nobles are, they have the obligation to serve in the army. Each of these warriors wore gold jewelry around their necks, each of them owned two-story property in their own city-state, and enjoyed delicious food for every meal. But at this moment, they could only choose to squeeze in this old and broken hotel and watch Amy sway leisurely.
"How did you find this place?"
"We got the news of the caravan from Honduras, saying that such a caravan equipped Honduras with powerful weapons and came to Tenochititlan. We rushed here in a hurry, and we did not find you in the Plaza de Law. But the news of your caravan has spread throughout Tenochititlan. Whenever you ask a passerby, he pointed us here."
"Yes." Amy smiled and took a sip of the hot water in the teacup. "Some people think that if we don't show up at the market, these goods will not be sold. But really good goods do not need to go to the market to attract customers. Even if they hide these goods in the mountains, customers will try their best to find you."
"Yes, there are too many city-states that want this batch of goods. We came overnight because we were afraid that we would sell it out in one night. Honduras and us often clashed. If they had this batch of weapons, we must have it too." A warrior responded, "We don't want to delay. Can we deliver the goods to us immediately? We can settle the payment for the goods immediately."
"I'll confirm again. You Leibtaidang want thirty iron pieces and two sets of iron armor?"
"Yes."
"Why is it too few for a city-state?" Amy asked with a smile, "I think it's necessary to use three hundred iron pieces and twenty sets of iron armor, right?"
"We can't get that much. At the beginning, we just wanted to buy 100 pieces, which was the same as Honduras. But the price of your iron tool is three times more expensive than we expected, so we can only have thirty pieces."
"Well, Leibtaid, thirty iron tools and two iron armors, I will remember them for you."
Amy took out a stack of paper in front of the warriors, turned over a few pages seriously, and wrote words on it. The stack of paper aroused the curiosity of the warriors. Someone leaned over and wanted to check the contents above. Amy raised her head, and he quickly shrank her head back.
"Why, are you interested in how many goods have you ordered in other city-states?" Amy smiled and pushed the stack of paper in front of her. "It's not a secret, you can see."
Before Amy could speak, the warriors snatched the stack of paper. After only looking at the first page, they screamed in surprise: "Have you ordered nine hundred copies of Nicaragua?"
"They dragged all the gold on the market over, and originally wanted to buy all 10,000 sets of ironware. But I limited the limit for each city-state to buy only 300 parts, and the price will increase accordingly accordingly according to the quantity." Amy explained, "Within three hundred parts, each price is three times that of Maquowit; if it is less than six hundred parts, the amount exceeding three hundred needs to be purchased at six times that of Maquowit; if it is less than nine hundred parts, the amount exceeding six hundred must be purchased at nine times the price of Maquowit. They weighed it and thought it was too much to buy, so they only bought nine hundred parts, totaling 5,400 Maquowit sawing swords."
“The more you buy, the higher the price?”
"If it's a normal product, you may get a discount if you buy more, right? But you have to know that ironware is now a hot item." Amy said, "If you want to buy someone else's share first, you have to pay an extra price, right?"
The warriors turned the page without comment and shouted in surprise again: "Ciotibon also bought three hundred copies?"
"Don't be surprised." Amy smiled, "After all, the limit is only 300, which is a normal quantity."
The warriors continued to flip through the page, and the words on each page made their hands tremble: "Zakalekabon, three hundred irons, twenty-five sets of armor, Soknust, six hundred and fifty irons, fifty sets of armor..."
The purchase amount of each city-state is basically measured in hundreds. Until they turn to the last page, they see the undried ink marks: Leibtaid, thirty pieces of iron and two sets of armor.
"The total cargo I brought to Tenochtitlan was only 2,000, and now the reserved share has exceeded 4,000. If I want to ship, I have to wait for me to transfer the inventory on the ship, so I cannot deliver it immediately. But don't worry, since you have booked thirty, I will definitely keep this batch of goods for you."
Amy smiled and took the stack of paper back from the warriors.
"If nothing happens, then that's it? There are still people waiting behind."
"Wait a moment……"
"Oh?" Amy looked at the warrior just now, "What else is there?"
"Can we reserve at least three hundred shares?"
"Didn't you say there isn't that much money?"
"If you only buy thirty copies, the situation in Leibtaid will become quite dangerous." The warrior wiped the sweat from his face, "Please make sure to reserve a share of 300 to 600 for us. We will definitely go back to convince the city-state about money!"
"Then you better go and go back early." Amy said, "I can't wait for you all the time. It's too late. These goods will be sold out."
The group of warriors trotted away from the hotel.
"Supreme." A pirate knocked on the door, "The next city-state is here."
"Wait a little longer." Amy picked up the pen, "Let me change thirty to six hundred first, and make a flaw."
"I really changed it to 600? I was listening outside. Are they still sure they can buy 600 copies?"
"So what? This stack of paper is not for me to show. Isn't the previous values all come from this?"
