Chapter 25 The beginning of the fall of women

Mrs. Catherine has never seen any storm and waves before being the person in the Braceway family.

After staring at Roxia for a while, she raised her lips and spread her hands and said:

"A businessman, of course, I hope that their products can be sold better. But, Mr. Rorsch, you also understand that private brewing is not the kind of business that can be promoted openly..."

The implication is that if private brewing is legal, I would have been promoting it openly and promoting my own wine to the entire New Hanover state. Is it necessary for you to say?!

Of course, Rorschach understands this.

It is precisely because private brewing is illegal and has huge profits that he thought of cooperating with the Braceway family to sell private brewing.

With his back straightened, Rorschach's expression suddenly became serious:

"You can rest assured about this. I have some influence in Valentine and can make sure no one cares about where the wine comes from."

“What is your plan?”

Upon hearing this, Roxham just smiled mysteriously and changed the subject, "How do you sell your private brew?"

"A bottle, one dollar."

"As long as you sell me a batch of wine at half price, I promise to promote your wine to Valentine!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Marcus Bracewayt took the lead in opposing:

"Impossible! Fifty cents, we have no profit to make at all!"

Shaking his index finger, Rorschach immediately explained:

"I didn't say that all wines are at this price, they are just the first batch of wines to open up the market. As long as they successfully enter the Valentine market, every batch of wine sold to me will be 20% off."

"I believe you still have profits for this price. After all, I still have to bear certain transportation and publicity expenses..."

Looking at Roche's confident look, a look of appreciation flashed through Mrs. Catherine's eyes.

Compared to this young man, his two sons are simply brainless reckless men.

"You're so sure?"

"certainly!"

Rorschach believed that as long as sheriff Maloy and the tavern owner were divided into shares and pulled them onto the pirate ship, they would turn a blind eye to these private brewing wines.

As for Valentine's residents, they don't care where the wine is sold in the tavern.

They only care about the wine they drink in their mouths, whether they bring it with them, and whether they are cheap enough...

After lowering his head and thinking about it, Mrs. Catherine nodded:

"I have to say that Mr. Rorschach's proposal is very good. I can't think of a reason to refuse. But!"

After a pause, a hint of shrewdness flashed through the old lady's vicissitudes of eyes, "The 20% discount is still too high, 10% discount!"

"8.5% off!" Luo Xia immediately bargained.

"make a deal!"

After reaching an agreement on the price, the atmosphere in the restaurant became more harmonious.

After casually placing a small piece of steak, put it in his mouth, and swallowing it, Roxa suddenly remembered something and added:

"Of course, once a cooperation is reached, I will be your exclusive agent in Valentine. No one can sell your wine in Valentine except me."

"Otherwise, the Chief Maloy of Valentine would be very happy to add a private collection to his cellar..."

Hearing the threatening meaning of Rorschach's words, Mrs. Catherine didn't feel inappropriate, and she felt that Rorschach was a reliable person.

If it were her, she would do this...

So she nodded and couldn't help but admire:

"Mr. Rorschach, I have to say, you are more of a shrewd businessman than those bounty hunters who kill for a living."

Smiling, Rorschach showed his modest side at the right time:

"I'm far from being a wife who supports the entire Braceway family. I'm just more sensitive to money..."

The flattery of smart people is often happier than the amazement of fools.

Mrs. Catherine burst into laughter, and even the wrinkles on her face became much darker: "Hahaha, you are such an interesting young man!"

At the same time, Penelope, who witnessed the whole process, was a little surprised to see the old witch who usually only showed off her bad face.

Blinking her blue eyes, she noticed Roxa's slightly raised corner of her mouth, and became more and more curious:

He is completely different from the dirty and rude bounty hunters in cheap novels.

Moreover, from the conversation, we can see that he has his own unique insights into the operation of business.

Wildness and intellectuality are two completely different temperaments, but they are emitted from a person at the same time.

There are so many secrets in this man that people want to dig them out one by one!

This rich lady didn't know that when a woman had the idea of ​​a mysterious man, she wanted to have a deep understanding of it, it was often the beginning of the woman's fall...

...

After the last dessert for dinner, it was already 8:30 in the evening.

As the night became darker, Mrs. Catherine also invited Rorschach to stay overnight and wait until tomorrow to return to Valentine.

At that time, her second son, John Bracewayt, will bring the first batch of 600 bottles of private brews and go to Valentine with Rorschach.

Roxa naturally agreed readily.

It's nothing, it's better not to walk alone at night.

Especially in the West where anyone can get a gun!

Led by the black maid, Rorschach, who was full of wine and food, came to the guest room prepared for him by Bracewayt's house.

However, before he could sit down and rest for a while, the door was knocked.

When he opened the door, he saw that it was John, the second young master of the Braceway family who had known him for a short time.

The other party invites himself to play poker and pass the time together.

In this backward era, playing cards is the most common entertainment activity after nightfall.

Even the Braceway family, which has been rooted in Rhodes for more than 120 years, has long been integrated into this emerging country and has become a loyal fan of Texas Hold'em...

When he arrived at the living room, Rorschach saw Mrs. Catherine and Marcus sitting next to the coffee table, holding a cup and drinking tea.

On the table, there is a deck of playing cards.

Only the rich lady with blond hair and blue eyes was missing.

With a raised brow, Rorschach asked casually while sitting on a sofa:

"Why didn't I see Miss Penelope?"

"Oh, she doesn't usually live in the mansion. She has prefered to be alone since her father died." Marcus explained while washing the cards.

"Don't worry about her, let's start."

Hearing this, Luo Xia blinked his eyes and couldn't help but look thoughtful.

From the cold attitude of Mrs. Catherine's family and Penelope's taciturn silence at dinner, it can be seen that the rich lady with big blue eyes does not seem to be very popular...

The game lasted for about an hour.

During this period, while listening to Mrs. Catherine telling the history of the Braceway family, Rorschach had to satisfy the curiosity of the two Braceway masters from time to time, and talked about some interesting things that happened when she was pursuing wanted criminals.

With Rorschach's intentional cater to him, the two Braceway's favorable feelings for him doubled, and they almost hugged his shoulders and called him brothers.

Looking at Rorschach who was chatting and laughing with his son, Mrs. Catherine picked up the teacup and thought about it in her mind:
Chapter completed!
