Chapter 753 - 456: The Wind Rises
"Please have a seat, Mr. Marvin," Atbolde said with a smile, gesturing in his study.
In a gray robe, Marvin gave an awkward smile, somewhat reservedly removed his hood, and sat across from Atbolde.
"Good evening, Mr. Atbolde," Marvin greeted after sitting down. His posture, however, did not seem as uneasy as it appeared when he entered.
"Good evening, may I ask what brings you here at this hour?" inquired Atbolde.
Marvin glanced at Atbolde, adjusted his sitting position, and replied, "It’s like this, there were some parts of the discussion today that I didn’t quite understand, so I have come to inquire further."
"I see," Atbolde expressed understanding, his expression unchanged as he continued, "Which part did you not understand?"
"...It’s about the guided sale prices for the regions, and there are some things I’m not quite clear on..." Marvin explained.
"What is it that you’re unclear about?"
"It’s... um, the exact figures of the guided sale prices, and whether they are still open for negotiation," Marvin said offhandedly.
"The guided prices of the Tilaimei Plain are based on a comprehensive consideration of the different situations in each region and each merchant guild, which is quite reasonable. So, in principle, they are generally not subject to change."
"Of course, we also take into account that special circumstances might arise, so the specific figures of the guided sale prices can still be negotiated. The process, however, is quite complicated. First, you need to present us with specific reasons, such as excessively high transportation costs and the like, and then, after our investigation and determination, we can formally discuss any changes."
