The shopkeeper immediately started to frown, in fact he and his friends were judging Alen. It was done just for fun.
"All right, go." The shop owner immediately returned to the store. While Aldi took Alen to a place that was a little quiet.
"Thank you" said Alen, looking at Aldi who was his age.
"Don't think. I have a business with you?" aldi asked with his trademark thin smile.
"What business do you mean?"
Aldi took out an edible yam, they called it cassava. In the Java government it is very rare for people to have cassava.
Alen was surprised to see Aldi carrying cassava which is usually carried by large merchants between kingdoms.
"Do you have a large trade group?" asked Alen excitedly.
"No, I'm just a local merchant. But it has a way to grow cassava" Aldi replied casually.
Aldi wants Alen to learn how to trade well. He gave 5 kilograms of cassava for sale.
Money in the Main World before the war that with the Main World money after. So Aldi has a gold coin that is not small in storage.
It should be 5 kilograms of cassava can be sold at a price of 30 copper. Each kilo will be priced at 6 copper.
The reason Aldi brought Alen to the market so that he learned to give the best offers to traders and buyers.
2 Special kilograms are sold to sellers, while 3 kilograms must be sold to existing traders in the market.
Within 1 hour, Alen only managed to sell 5 kilograms for 37 copper. It made Aldi very disappointed, the way he sold things was very bad.
"Come with me" Aldi carried 5 kilograms of cassava with a sack on his back.
He taught me how to sell quickly and profitably. After walking for a while, Aldi found a promising trader.
Looking at clothes, how to talk, and how to serve the buyer. The handle will definitely give you a reasonable price.
"Uncle, see your goods very good and quality. I have a tempting offer," Aldi said with a friendly smile.
The merchant returned Aldi's friendly smile. "What offer did you make?"
Aldi took out an ordinary cassava of 5 kilograms. The merchant knew that cassava was very difficult to find in the kingdom of Java.
"What do you think, but I have a mandate to sell 3 kilograms directly to the buyer. So I only sold 2 pounds."
The brief discussion between Aldi and the market trader yielded very satisfactory results. Aldi always mentions quality words to traders to make them look very good.
But actually the cassava is ordinary. Aldi has not used any special symbols to improve the quality of cassava.
Aldi brought in 50 copper coins plus a good relationship with one of the market traders.
Whenever Aldi had cassava, the merchant was willing to buy it no matter how much. Not exceeding the capacity of the shop.
"Do you understand now?" ask Aldi who is eating at a food store.
"The key is in polite speech to get a good price," Alen replied innocently.
Aldi shook his head. "Half right. Speaking politely is an option after seeing the person we offer. The most important thing is the relationship we get."
Aldi explains a lot about how to trade well. Then give 10 bundles of pandan leaves.
One of the food flavoring is very rare in the kingdom of Java, but Aldi has planted in a hill.
Just waiting for time before the bountiful harvest. The Kingdom of Java had not yet issued any tenure holdings, so Aldi was free to build as long as the land was vacant.
The sun began to set every word of the Aldi made Alen feel very small, even though they were the same age. Alen brought home 10 bundles of pandan leaves.
"How will my age be able to have the experience to make money?" thought Alen while looking at 10 pandan leaves.
His grandfather had high hopes for Alen to become a graduate of higher education.
But now Alen's heart is worried, between continuing education or learning to sell in order to get money.
Not everyone needs money for their life purpose. But money can sustain life in a cruel world.
Then he remembered a legitimate fragment of the word that Aldi said.
"Actually you don't have to choose, do both if you have the ability."
Like Alen's education and trading. The major he took was a trade school, while the science that Aldi provided was much more useful than the school.
There will definitely be a mutually reinforcing intersection between the teacher at the school and Aldi's mentor.
Alen calls Aldi a mentor because his knowledge is far above him. He never knew that Aldi was in his 80s.
Time went by very quickly, Aldi managed to grow some of the best quality vegetables. Alen always harvest plants every day in Aldi's garden.
It took 12 hours to get to the city, so Aldi built a special horse-drawn carriage to make it faster.
With horses, Alen can reach the city with only 7 hours. So it saves a lot of time.
Until finally Java work called Alen and Aldi who always sell the best quality goods in the entire market.
It did not feel Alen had collected as much as 1 gold. Before leaving for the royal palace, he gave the money to father.
His father is a businessman, but he has a different character to Alen who can start from scratch.
His father had to have a large capital to establish a solid business, so it quickly turned his finances around.
Both types of business people are very common among traders.
Until yes in the palace, Alen was very nervous to see the King of Java Kingdom. Aldi is very calm for a special reason.
"Are you Aldi and Alen?" ask a palace gatekeeper.
"Yes right" Aldi replied casually. Then glanced at Alen who was unable to put out a word to answer.
Aldi patted his shoulder. "As a businessman, it is strictly forbidden to be nervous to be expected by anyone. Even if it was a king."
Hearing those words, Alen immediately adjusted his breathing. Aldi teaches you how not to be nervous about facing someone.
Every word of Aldi has absorbed Alen well. So unconsciously Alen always apply every word Aldi.
Arriving at the palace room, there were 3 people waiting for the two of them.
"Aldi, we haven't seen each other in a long time. You are still the same as the first time we met" said the King who sat on the palace seat.
The King of Java Kingdom is none other than Aji Linggajaya, previously he was the King of Kediri. The two people beside him were his confidants from Kediri.
"Uncle Aji, too complimenting. I'm just a kid who always uses violence to get things done" Aldi said with a friendly smile.
When in Kediri, Aldi always hit many evil organizations that make trouble. He did it to solve future problems.
King Kediri could do nothing against Aldi's actions. But he was also grateful that there were strong people protecting him.
Aji Linggajaya is a Awakening level cultivator. But he hid it with a special technique.
Finally the martial cultivators hunters were unable to find him. Because everyone who manages to break through the Black level will be hunted by assassins.
According to rumors it was done so that there was no powerful organization like the Seven Soul.
After seeing Aldi who still looks like a teenager, Aji Linggajaya confirmed that Aldi is a strong cultivator.
The long discussion between Aldi and Aji Linggajaya opened Alen's very narrow mind. It never crossed his head that Aldi was in his 80s.
He also began to be interested in the extremely mysterious martial cultivators. That was the reason why his grandfather always forced his father and mother to practice martial arts.
It turns out that martial acts are only limited to hitting and receiving blows. But there are other interests that can be taken advantage of.
For example, the king is now 110 years old. But he still has excellent body fitness.
His grandfather was also in his 80s but still very healthy for exercising and doing other strenuous activities.
Not to forget Aldi asked some mountains to set up houses and special training. It also became an advantage for the Java kingdom.
Food supply is also provided from Mount Aldi managed. Alen will be in charge of Aldi.
For starters, Aldi company is engaged in agribusiness. Their main products are cassava and padan leaf.
He also sells some vegetables that can increase the nutritional needs of the Java kingdom. Its marketing target is not only in the java kingdom but also in the neighboring kingdom.
The travel time needed to reach the destination is 3 months by horse carriage.
Not to mention there are bandits who always lurk the trade groups.
