First Order
Chapter 8 First Order
"How much do you need?" I ask.
"Everything in your stock, I want it all." She said.
I didn't think Dyana would buy everything right after I said how much stock I had. Even though I actually don't have any other stock than what I'm carrying now.
"Well, based on the previous price, this is the price you have to pay." I wrote the price calculation he had to pay on a parchment.
100 kg of Black pepper. Price: 40 gold coins
100 kg of cloves. Price: 40 gold coins
100 kg of Cinnamon. Price: 40 gold coins
100 kg of salt. Price: 1 gold coin
100 kg of sugar. Price: 80 gold coins
10 kg of Vanilla. Price: 250 gold coins
First I give prices for spices and then prices for perfumes.
50 bottles of vanilla perfume. Price: 100 gold coins
50 bottles of rose perfume. Price: 50 gold coins
50 bottles of jasmine perfume. Price: 50 gold coins
Total price: 651 gold coins
After calculating all the prices, I was surprised by how many gold coins she had to pay. Can she pay for it?
"Miss Dyana, this is the total price of your order which is 651 gold coins or you can also pay it with 3 white gold coins and 51 gold coins." I show the paper containing the price of my merchandise.
"All right, we should sign a sale and purchase contract to avoid any problem in the future." Dyana suggested
"With pleasure Miss Dyana. But I also need the first payment of one white gold coin as contract validation. " I added.
I need that money as capital to buy her order from the internet, besides that I also have to pay shipping costs using a wagon as not to arouse suspicion and I will need about two wagons to carry all the orders.
"Alright Mr. Nine." Then her secretary wrote four contracts. Two contracts contain the total order and price. While the other two contracts contain a statement that they have paid a validation fee of one white gold coin. We held one contract each other.
With the payment of one white gold coin, even if she cancels her order, I will still have the money. So I don't need to worry.
Next we both signed the contract and Dyana gave me a white gold coin. Besides that she also bought all the samples that I brought with the price of 18 gold coins, I gave her 100 silver coins cut.
"Miss Dyana, your order will arrive in 3 days. Where will the goods be unload later? " I asked.
"Siddon Trading Firm has a goods warehouse in this city. It is located west of the city, near the west gate. " Dyana answered
"Alright, I'll send it directly to your warehouse in three days."
"It's nice to do business with you, Mr. Nine." Dyana held out her hand.
"It's nice to do business with you too, Miss Dyana." I shook her hand.
The two of us came out of the meeting room and Dyane said goodbye to me, then she left merchant's guild.
After that I did not immediately leave the building, I walked back to the counter to ask for some information from Adelia.
"Looks like Adelia isn't busy, perfect timing."
Then I stood in front of the counter where Adelia was.
"Is there anything I can help, Mr. Nine." Adelia asked
"Miss Adelia, is there any shop in this city that I can rent or I can buy?" Nine
"Wait a minute, Mr. Nine." Adelia then took a document that seemed to contain information on the building being rent or sold.
"Mr. Nine, there are several buildings that are available for rent and to be sell. For buildings near residential areas, the monthly rental price is around 5 to 10 gold coins per month. For if you want to buy it, the price is around 100 to 150 gold coins. "
"While the buildings on the main road. The monthly price is around 15 to 20 gold coins, the selling price reaches 1 white gold coin. As for the shops near the square, there are currently no buildings available to rent, you can only buy it for 2 white gold coins. "
"May I know some information about what building with price of 2 white gold coins looks like?" I asked.
"The building is located on the west side of the square, a two-story building with a basement suitable as a warehouse, and the building area is around 8x8 meters. You can see it if you walk toward west gate, 5 building from the square on the right side "
I think this shop is quite spacious, maybe I'll buy it later.
"Thank you Miss Adelia, in the next three days I might needs your help again, I plan to buy it."
"Of course Mr. Nine, with pleasure." Adelia smiled.
The shop is really needed to make my name more known in this city. I can't make other merchants famous by the spices they buy from me. By owning a shop, I can sell other products too, other than that I can also gather information more easily.
Then i left the merchant's guild building and walked to the west to see a building that I might buy.
'5th building from the square, on the right. '
I saw a shop that was not in use, quite large door on the left and a wooden window on the right. The building at the bottom is made of stone, while the upper part is made of wood.
This building is suitable for selling luxury items. Especially if the front window is replaced with glass, but glass is a very expensive material here.
I'll think about it later after I buy it.
The sun began to set and the city grew darker, I then looked for inns not far from the merchants' guild.
'For the next 3 days I will stay here.' I stood in front of the inn near the merchants' guild.
When I entered, I was greeted with a young woman's voice.
"Welcome to the Bear's Paw Inn. Do you want to stay or just have dinner? " The girl's asked.
"Is there an empty room." I said
"Of course, to the counter please." She showed his direction.
"Thank you." I went to the counter.
"Please fill in your name here sir. " I then wrote my name.
"How long will you stay, Mr. Nine."
"3 days, please. With foods."
"Everything is 90 silver coins, food can be eaten at breakfast or lunch and dinner." She explained
Prices at this inn are more expensive than ordinary lodging prices.
Then the woman who looked like she was 17 years old excitedly guide me to the room and gave me the key.
I went into the room and put my things there before going down to eat. This is the first time I will eat food that I didn't buy from the internet, I'm curious about how it tastes.
