Chapter 47: The Beginning of a Business Empire
I sneered and snapped back Isaac's outstretched fingers one by one, and Caracalla's rattle hurt the old liar's teeth.
He looked at me timidly, and put on a cute gray wolf expression and said aggrievedly: "Then I only need one, but for the sake of so many years of ups and downs, can you let me go through the back door and give priority to the selection of contracting projects, you know that I have lost everything, and I can only rely on this gamble." ”
"I also have an old oriental proverb to tell you, which is called life and death, and wealth is in the sky. There is also a saying that people will win the sky, as long as they work hard, they will overcome the external forces that seem impossible to defeat, and that day is the great nobleman who excludes me, and that person must be me. Besides, do you still walk through the back door? ”
I counted the old liar's perennial locks of hair, and with my other hand pulled out three more of his fingers.
"I'm very fair and strict, just our friendship, you can contract three projects for free, but I want to share half of the dividend!"
The old liar listened to my words and was stunned, and then vividly demonstrated the whole process of falling from heaven to hell, his facial expression was sunny and cloudy, and his face was covered with dark clouds like a suffocated toad, and it was estimated that my proposal was probably like a toad blocked in his throat, sticky and unable to spit out and swallow.
"My lord, in this case, I still only need one project, you are even more advantageous than me, a senior businessman, and I can't interject if I can speak well, of course, I can't fight you in terms of strength."
It sounds like I'm getting into the money and I'm a philistine!
I scratched my head in confusion...... Nima, what a mediocrity!
Our philistine! But I think it's a compliment to me, because only a lord who can make money is a good lord, and I don't believe that there is nothing in this world that money can't do, and it's in such a medieval Europe where the commodity economy was extremely underdeveloped.
By the way, the old liar must not understand what the commodity economy is, should he say it and disgust him? I pinched my chin and stared at him with bad intentions, Isaac trembled with fear, wrapped his rotten coat and retreated in fear, like a woman of a good family who had fallen into Yin's nest, unable to resist and could only accept the fate of being ravaged, and in this respect the old liar had been broken by me.
Fortunately, my taste is not so heavy, I originally wanted to support such a commercial agent, to help myself take care of business in front of the stage, and by the way, to block the guns and arrows, if you want the horse to run fast and the horse does not eat grass, it is obviously unrealistic, more or less to let Isaac taste the sweetness of helping me carry the work, just like picking a carrot in front of the little donkey's eyes, who will work hard if there is no rush?
As I spoke, I carved on the table with a dagger: "Now there are only a few contract projects that can be developed in the territory, first of all, timber, ponds, and wild beasts in the forest, and in addition, such as the output of orchards and the purchase of surplus grain from the people, if the business becomes bigger in the future, you can also contract out the right to build roads in the mining estate, as long as you are not a foreign merchant in the business alliance, you have to pay to buy and sell and use the road." ”
Isaac listened carefully, calculating his possible contracting projects and income, and said with interest: "My lord, you said that these other people's territories also exist, why do they go to the distance to buy our products?" Besides, even if they want to buy our products, the delivery of these materials is a problem, and even if we get to a lord's castle safely, we don't know what they need, and it's okay to sell it, in case they don't lack the things we sell, the cost of this back and forth can be all covered, and in general, it's too unrealistic, and it's still a bit unreliable. ”
The old crook hit the nail on the head by pointing out the fatal flaws in the grand dreams I had been planning for days, and easily shattered my illusions about building a business empire.
Needing something special, I bit my finger and fell into deep thought: "Let me think twice......"
I haven't surveyed this new territory yet, I don't know if there will be coal deposits like the Corren fiefdom, and the rest of the foreseeable output is also some big road goods, everyone has everything you have, there is no need to buy yours and hide your own, no one is a precautionary nobleman, how can he have time to reserve local strategic resources.
Timber, the great forests of Germany have to be, and anyone who builds a poun without a good spruce is embarrassed to say hello when they go out.
Hides, all kinds of beasts all over the mountains and wilderness, you can't say it, hit your muzzle yourself, at least as long as you carry your weapon into the forest and walk around, you will definitely not be allowed to come for nothing.
The fish in the pond were the exclusive preserve of the aristocracy, but their preservation was a problem, and the peasants did not have the courage to buy and eat them, and even if they did buy a few secretly, they would not make a profit, and they would not be enough to pay for the carriage and horses.
The fruits in the orchard are also difficult to keep fresh, and half of the apples that grow every year are so astringent that they are difficult to swallow, and they are sold for a small profit.
Thinking about it, this doesn't work, it doesn't work, it seems that business wizards can't be done by anyone, there are many people who want to be Buffett, and he is the only one who really becomes Buffett.
I am very worried, far less heartless than Hans and them, who should eat and sleep, as if I have returned to my previous life, when I was squeezed and bullied everywhere, I really didn't even dare to grab a meal with others, and I died.
I shook my head, as if I wanted to clean up all these bad memories, but the more I shook it, the faster it precipitated, and finally all of it accumulated in my brain, blocking the blood vessels to death, and directly the cerebral blood supply was insufficient and hypoxic.
After dinner, I stood anxiously on top of the castle and looked into the distance, where the white moonlight reflected in the moonlight, the marshland by the Rhine, just northwest of the fiefdom, forming a natural barrier separating my territory from the Flemish Low Countries frequented by the French and Normans, where the endless water country was the country, and the only bright spot was the flocks of migratory birds that migrated with the seasons, and the reeds swaying in the wind, if it had been in my time, I can figure out more than 20 paid amusement projects for you with blisters alone, but here, his grandmother has not yet been born in the tourism industry.
"What a reed beach!"
Looking at the beautiful scenery, my mood was inexplicably much better, and I dragged a poem with great enthusiasm.
"Huh? Reed? ”
Only a tinkling sound was heard between the electric lights and flints, and a large 500-watt light bulb instantly lit up next to his head.
My brother had an epiphany!!
I triumphantly dragged everyone who had been sleeping on all fours out of the bed, during which I experienced violent auxiliary means such as punching and kicking, and finally let the team members out of their sleep state, and listened to me one by one as if they were sober.
"What did I tell you?"
I paced back and forth in front of them with my hands behind my back, and I took their heads around like a marquee.
"Creativity! The most precious thing in this age is creativity, and unfortunately, God favored me too much when he created man, and gave me 80% of the wisdom of the whole world. Of course, with your IQ, you don't understand what 80% is, anyway, it's a lot, anyway, sir, I found a way to innovate. ”
Several people said quickly, I have to go back to meet Zhou Gong's expression, just because the lord status maintains a minimum respect for me, the impatience on the bull's face is about to overflow, and the consequences of disturbing a raging bull to sleep are very serious, I decided not to go around in circles and do things directly: "The large piece of reeds in front of us is the wealth given to us by God, and I have decided to operate that property exclusively." ”
