For the next eting, the girls went to the residential area of the city. There were three residential areas in this city. One for the rich people and two for the people who were between the rich and the poor. So currently they were going toward the residential area where the rich people lived.
The girl nad Oska who lived in their village for a few days had created a new trading company in this city alongside a few of her friends. She was the daughter of a rich rchant and the people who joined her in creating this company were also sons and daughters of rich people. So, even though their company was new, they had a decent economic backing behind them.
She was not actually from this city and was living here as her father had a few business partners here. So she was able to secure products from other cities which were not available here. This was one of the reasons why lline even bothered to consider her as a business partner.
...
After following the address they were given, the girls stopped in front of a big mansion. It was quite a luxurious mansion and there was even a guard standing before the door, which was proof that the person living here had considerable economic strength.
As soon as the guard saw the ladies, he imdiately went inside to inform the mistress about this matter. It looked like he was inford beforehand about the arrival of the ladies, which was a good thing.
After that a gentleman looking fair elvin man ca out of the house alongside the guard. He introduced himself as Boska who was also the caretaker of this estate and the little Miss. He invited everyone inside the house to et with Oska who would be the main person talking business with them.
Oska was a dark elf with black hair whose skin tone was a lighter shade of dark if compared to other dark elves. She had a petite figure and that made her to look very young. But her brown eyes were bright and clear which ant that she was quite intelligent. She greeted all the ladies and prepared chairs to sit for all of them. Then she served everyone a special drink that was made using a rare kind of fruit found in the desert and instead of imdiately talking about the business, she started the conversation with so small talk.
Datoka imdiately understood that this girl had beco more experienced after leaving their village and she was impressed by her growth. Last ti when she saw her, she was still inexperienced but in just over a year, she had gotten considerably experienced in this field.
After so ti, there was a knock on the door to where the eting was taking place and after getting Oska's permission the door opened and three more people ca inside the room. They were also young and there were two male dark elves and another female fair elf. They were Oska's business partners and she introduced them to the ladies from the sacred village.
Among the newcors, the girls were looking at the ladies with shining eyes. It looked like she had t her idols after a long ti. The way she was dressed in only a top covering her breast and a dium length slited skirt was most probably an influence of these ladies.
Then among the boys, one of them was quite shy and nervous and on the contrary the other boy looked haughty and acted in an arrogant and aloof way, but everyone was able to see that he was actually scared and there was a deep rooted fear hidden inside his heart.
Actually earlier the sa day, when the group of idiot rich sons tried to pick a fight with the girls, he was there in the market. There was even a ti when the talk of the rich idiots resonated with him and he was just about to join the group of idiots to show his support for them. But fortunately before he could do that, those n were beaten up by the girls and since then he got a trauma about the ladies.
...
After the three of them join the eting the negotiations started. What Oska wanted was to buy a portion of the unique products that only the Sacred village was capable of producing and in exchange she was planning to sell the items that the ladies were requesting at a price thirty percent lower than the market.
As for what Datoka wanted from her was fabrics. This city did have stores selling decent quality fabric, but a city a little bit away from here was famous for its high quality fabric produced by a rare D rank monster found in that region. Datoka wanted fabrics from that city.
Those fabrics were not cheap, so getting them in a price which was thirty percent lower than the market was a considerable gain. And it was not like Oska was taking the village items for free. She was buying them at market price. So Datoka was leaning toward accepting the deal.
But at that ti soone objected and to everyone's surprise it was Mona, the other girl who joined the eting. She demanded that getting the unique items of the village just with a thirty percent price drop was unacceptable and she said that the price drop would be thirty five percent and she would also gift 20 units of these fabrics as a goodwill gift.
Oska was a bit distressed by this suggestion but even then it was profitable so she accepted Mona's proposal. The ladies were even happier and accepted this deal.
...
This negotiation eting went better than the ladies expected and so they were happy about it. Elena smiled seeing this and decided to give so advice to Datoka at a later ti. Now she did not want to ruin the good mood.
Actually Oska and her company were able to gain considerably from this deal. As the ladies were always using the products that they produced in the village, their value was sowhat low in their eyes. But that was not the case and those unique products were more valuable than they thought.
Elena was impressed with Oska as she was able to properly manage the pace of the negotiations so that the ladies beca more and more relaxed with ti and no one noticed that she was gaining more from this deal. Elena did not stop this deal from happening was because she wanted Datoka to learn from practical experience and also because it was not a loss for the village.
She was even more impressed with Mona who was able to say the exactly right compromise that Oska would not mind and the ladies of the sacred village would also be happy with it. She was more intelligent and cunning than she looked.
So all in all it was a good experience for the ladies.
