Chapter 84: Glass
Since the contract was signed and the both of us were now bound to it, Aric could allow the Baron go, but before that they had to iron out what and what they would be trading.
"So now Baron, let me start by telling you what we will be offering for sale to you. The first thing is quality wood.
I’m sure that you can get your own wood from your kingdom, but the question is have you seen wood like the ones we use here?" Aric asked. Fredrick looked around the room, taking in everything that was made of wood.
He couldn’t deny the quality of what Aric had, it was something that would take his best men in woodworks to prepare.
"This wood is cleanly cut, and prepared, treated and polished, and we can supply you hundreds of them daily unfailingly. The question is, what do you have to offer in return for the wood?" Aric asked. He leaned forward, his elbows on the tables, and his interlocked knuckles holding his head up.
Fredrick paused for a moment, thinking of what would be worth the offer he was just given. After a few seconds of contemplating, he spoke.
"I understand that your village here has only started its farm, it still lacks variety of products. For the first trade, my town will provide a large range of products, and their seedlings as well, with corresponding value to the wood provided," Fredrick offered.
"Hmm, if you are giving us your seedlings as well, then I’ll give you five sets of wood free, as a thank you for that. Then after that, another means will be needed for you to purchase," Aric said.
"That’s fine. Right now I don’t really know what and what to offer, but when I get back to the town and have a talk with my closest advisors, I’ll know what to offer," Fredrick said.
"That works for us, right Ariel?" Aric asked, looking at Ariel. She nodded in response.
