Chapter 284 Orc Slaves
For humans in the Bright Continent, slaves are really a good thing. They pay once and use them for life. There is no salary or benefits. They only need to maintain the minimum food and clothing. If they are injured, sick or dead, they can just throw them away at will. It can be said that
The best workforce.
Because there are so many benefits to using slaves, the slave market has a very prosperous business, and it is also one of the busiest markets in Dart City.
Although slaves have many benefits, ordinary people will not buy slaves. First, they are reluctant to pay for slaves, but one more person means more mouths. They would rather work more themselves than raise slaves.
Just like Black Rock Village, because it is so poor, it is very difficult to support itself, let alone raise slaves.
Those who could afford slaves or needed slaves were at least middle-income families.
The largest consumer group of slaves is actually the wealthy households and nobles. They have their own land or industries and need slaves to work for them. They are the largest buyers of slaves.
The slave mayor is basically composed of young and middle-aged slaves. There are basically no elderly slaves. There are relatively few female slaves. Most of them are male slaves who are in good health. Male slaves are stronger than female slaves and can handle more difficult tasks.
work, so the sales are better.
Lin Feng doesn't have much interest in these ordinary slaves. In his territory, there are many villagers willing to work for him. There is no need to buy or sell slaves. What he needs more is some special talents, especially those who can read and write.
It would be best if Hyphenation's slave could assist him in his future business.
The villagers in Heiyan Village are basically illiterate and have no ability to do business. It would be too difficult for them to do business if they are good people.
"Distinguished gentlemen, come and take a look. This is a rare beast slave. If you miss this time, you will regret it for the rest of your life."
"Hey, how come there are orc slaves in Dart City? Come on, let's take a look." Lin Feng's heart moved. Since coming to Guangming Continent, he has not seen the lives of other races. Today is a good time to see them.
There were many people who had the same idea as Lin Feng. In a short time, the booth was so crowded that it was impossible to get in.
But Lin Feng was wearing a magician's robe. When they saw Lin Feng arriving, no one dared to stop him and all gave way. Lin Feng walked to the front of the booth unimpeded.
The status of the magician was so astonishing that even the steward at the booth looked at Lin Feng in surprise and saluted Lin Feng before he dared to start selling slaves.
There were only eleven orc slaves for sale at the booth. They looked very weird and were indeed different from humans.
These eleven orc slaves are both male and female. Their basic appearance is the same as that of humans, but they have a pair of amazingly big ears, and their noses are somewhat protruding.
Lin Feng checked his memory and quickly recognized their identities, the pig-faced orcs.
The pig-faced orcs are low-level beings among the orcs. Their main job is herding, and they are very good at herding.
The appearance of orcs is basically the same as that of humans, except that they retain their own racial characteristics. The racial characteristics of pig-faced people are their noses and big ears.
"Dear gentlemen, you have also seen that this is a rare pig-faced man from the beast tribe. We captured it from the beast tribe prairie after traveling thousands of miles. The pig-faced man is a good herder.
They eat less, work more, and work hard without complaint. They are the best slaves. Come, come, they are open for sale. They only need one hundred gold coins per person. This opportunity is rare. If you miss it, you will regret it."
"One hundred gold coins per slave? How expensive."
"That's right, it's too expensive. A healthy slave in his prime only costs two or three gold coins at most. Even a beautiful female slave will not cost more than ten gold coins. One hundred gold coins is enough to buy ten beautiful female slaves. Only fools would buy these.
Useless orcs."
The purchasing power of gold coins is still quite strong. One hundred gold coins is equivalent to one million. Spending one million to buy an ugly orc slave is really unacceptable.
When it comes to work, the pig-faced orcs are indeed stronger than normal humans, but their strength is limited. One pig-faced man can only do the work of two or three humans at most, and the price is two or three times higher, which is within the acceptable range.
, the price is more than thirty times, which makes buyers unable to bear it.
Hearing what everyone said, the slave manager became anxious and couldn't help but raise his voice again: "Dear gentlemen, these are healthy Orcs. They can only be found on the Orc prairie.
trace, flat
It's so rare to see it. We risked our lives to catch it in the orc prairie. Is such a rare orc slave just priced at 100 gold coins? It's not expensive at all. It's simply too cheap. The opportunity is rare.
You will regret it if you miss it.”
To be honest, even the manager himself knew that the selling price of one hundred gold coins was a bit high, but there was no way, where was the cost? They traveled thousands of miles to transport these slaves, and they couldn't sell them at a good price.
, then I would be so sorry for myself.
You must know that a large part of the gold coins obtained after selling these orc slaves will fall into their own pockets. Naturally, they want to sell them for as high a price as possible.
The slave steward shouted again, but still no one cared. Everyone only came to watch the fun, but few people were willing to spend money to buy these slaves.
The slave steward felt a little regretful. If he had known better, he would have lowered the price. Although the price was lower, he would earn less, but as long as he could sell it, he would still make a profit. It was better than not being able to sell it.
It's just that when you want to lower the price now, but it's impossible, there is no automatic price reduction when buying and selling slaves. If someone makes a bid, they may be able to negotiate the price. Since there is no bid, they will not automatically lower the price. This is also one of the unspoken rules of slave trading.
.
It seems that Dart City cannot sell these orc slaves. Let's wait until the next city and sell them at a low price.
This group of slave traders was not stationed in Dart City, they were just passing through here and wanted to make some extra money, so they sold the most worthless pig-faced slaves among them.
Just when the slave manager was very disappointed, Lin Feng said calmly: "I want these orc slaves."
The slave steward looked towards the source of the sound and exclaimed overjoyed: "As expected of the Mage, your vision is indeed very powerful. These orc slaves are definitely worth every penny."
Lin Feng nodded and said calmly: "I need some slaves to help me work. These orcs have good physiques, but the number is too small. I think you should have some orc slaves. Should we find them?"
Let’s discuss the price somewhere.”
The slave steward thought, this is a big customer, it could be a big business, so he must treat him well.
Thinking of this, the slave steward immediately nodded and said: "Okay, okay, you are our most distinguished guest, and any of your requirements can be met by us."
"That's it, please come with me."
Behind the slave booth is a house, which is their rented residence.
This house looks inconspicuous from the outside, but it is actually very large inside, enough to accommodate extra slaves.
After sitting down in the room, Lin Feng said calmly: "Tell me what kind of slaves you have. As long as I like them, I can eat them all. The price is not a problem."
"We also have thirty-five orc pig-faced men. They are all the healthiest pig-faced men. One is worth ten, they are definitely good at work."
A faint sneer appeared on Lin Feng's lips: "Only pig-faced men? Do you think I'm a fool? You traveled thousands of miles to the territory of the beast tribe just to catch a few pig-faced men?"
"Are you afraid that I won't be able to pay, or that you think I'm a fool?" Lin Feng's face was as calm as water, and there was no hint of happiness or anger from his face alone.
The slave steward smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, you are too worried. How dare we hide it from you? We are really unlucky. We only caught these pig-faced men in the orc territory. If we have any good stuff next time, we will definitely do it."
We will notify you as soon as possible."
"Really?" Lin Feng looked at the other party deeply, then withdrew his gaze and said calmly: "Okay then, I'll take all your pig-faced men, and it just so happens that there are fewer slaves in my manor.
, I bought them just right, but the price is too expensive. Don’t try to trick me. The pig-faced man is just the lowest existence in the orc tribe. Apart from having a handful of strength, he has nothing but strength. If I hadn’t taken a fancy to it,
With their strength, do you think I would spend money to buy them?"
The slave steward smiled coquettishly and said: "Yes, yes, nothing can be hidden from your eyes. If sold to others, these pig-faced men will definitely cost one hundred gold coins, but with your status, we can give you a 20% discount.
This is already the best price, each pig-faced man only costs eighty gold coins."
Lin Feng didn't care about the gold coins, but he didn't want to be taken advantage of, so he immediately made a counteroffer: "Twenty percent off is too high, at least 40 percent off. I know these pig-faced people are worthless, and you can't sell them even if you transport them to other cities.
They pay higher prices and waste food along the way.”
The slave steward immediately shook his head and said: "No, no, no, how can it be 60% off? Seventy-five percent off, seventy-five percent off is already the lowest price, and each pig-faced man is seventy-five gold coins."
"Let's round it up, 30% off. If you want, I'll buy them all. If you don't, I'll leave." Lin Feng said, as if he was about to stand up and leave.
"Thirty percent off? Thirty percent off is too low, but for your sake, we will suffer a little loss, so we will give you this price." The slave steward said with a wry smile, but only he knew whether it was a real wry smile.
Already.
After Lin Feng paid the money, a total of forty-six orc pig-faced men belonged to Lin Feng.
The Slave Merchant Association can also provide door-to-door delivery services, which can be delivered free of charge as long as they are within the city.
In the carriage, Lin Feng glanced at the Slave Business Association again through the window. Since you are not willing to let me spend money to buy it, then don't blame me for taking it myself.
Pig-faced people are just the lowest level of civilians in the orc tribe, and are not valuable at all in the human country. In most cases, the slave trade association only sells pig-faced people by the way. Their real goods can never be pig-faced people.
Lin Feng originally planned to spend money to buy it, but since they refused to sell it, don't blame Lin Feng for being tempted. Anyway, the other party was a slave trader, so Lin Feng didn't have any psychological burden to attack them.
