You do know that food rots after time?
He better sell it, or it's a waste.
Yeah, I know. I did forget how big a warehouse I have, which means 400 of that food is going to rot quite quickly, the rest of it at warehouse rates.
This was mainly an experiment that has gone a little wrong because I didn't think it through. The plan was to buy up everyone in Madina's food cheaply through Corin, he then sells it all to Fatmilak. Fatmilak then sells it on to the rest of the world. Doing the sums though, I've lost a ridiculous amount of gold. Food bought from Corin at 40 gold, food sold for 50 gold - seems profitable. Until I realise I only get 62% of that 50 gold, so I actually lose 9 gold on every trade. Plus the stuff that rots or is stolen by bandits. Halicos has already told Corin he isn't buying any more food from him for now, he didn't say why though - he's keeping that to himself. No wonder Corin jumped at the chance to do that, he's making (presumably) 10 gold on the sale, then another 19 gold on the sale from Fatmilak to other places.
Oh well, every marketeer loses cash at some point. Halicos will just have to start putting prices up if he gets a little cash strapped. Or he can just demand loads of gold from Corin, which is probably what will happen in a few weeks when nothing gets sold.
