Chapter 839: Daystar (Total Recommendation: 320,000 plus more)
"Then according to my father, how much can this refined sugar cube be sold for?"
Leylin put down the tray of sugar in his hand and looked at Baron Jonas.
"At least ten times as much as jaggery! If it weren't for the fear of attracting other people's backlash and covetousness, I even think it could be sold for twenty times!"
Baron Jonas closed his eyes for a moment before answering in the affirmative.
"Then I'll leave the matter of sales channels to my father!"
Leylin smiled and nodded.
Once this kind of refined sugar cube enters the market, the impact is huge, and how to grasp the proportion, and even find a backer for himself, sell profits, build an alliance of interests, etc., how can Lei Lin compare to Baron Jonas, who is extremely experienced in trade?
"I also watched the canned fish floss before, and it was very good!"
Baron Jonas looked at his son, with an indescribable emotion in his eyes: "Alas...... You've really created a big problem for your father......!
Although he was sighing, the smile on the baron's face could not be concealed.
Lei Lin, a child, always gives him unexpected surprises.
......
With enough manpower and material resources, the fish floss and sugar trade that Lei Lin was looking forward to finally began to be carried out vigorously.
Baron Jonas understood very well that such a huge profit was not something for his family to eat, so he directly used these two commodities to win over several small nobles whose fiefdoms were also overseas, as well as the local faction forces that he had recently hooked up, and sold a large part of the profits, and finally pulled them into the water. Bear the backlash that comes with this.
And as soon as the delicate white sugar of Faoran Island entered the market, the impact was even beyond the imagination of the Baron.
That sheer sweetness. It was a paradise-like treat, and it immediately conquered many nobles. And make them crazy about this luxury.
The profit in the first month alone reached a staggering 2,000 gold crowes!
Although the trade of fish floss is not so popular, the response of the market is also very good, its convenient and easy-to-eat characteristics, as well as the advantages of durability and preservation, have been sought after by many mercenaries and adventurers, and even the military of some kingdoms have also shown interest.
Do you need to talk much about the profits in munitions?
With these two free lanes full of golden wealth, the whole island of Faorán began to be built at a rapid pace. Lei Lin even opened a few more production lines for this purpose in order to cope with the crazy market needs.
Among them, of course, there are also many "capital injections" from the Crimson Tiger Pirate Group!
With Leylin's secret remote control, and the assistance of the Barbarian Pirates, the Crimson Tiger Pirates under the leadership of Isabel also made a few fierce moves, sneaking up on several merchant ships of the Marquis of Louis.
At this time, Lei Lin had long been on Faoran Island, looking like he was not caring about the world, and the barbarian pirate group was also extremely peaceful. So that the other party can't catch the slightest evidence, so he can only secretly grit his teeth and prepare for revenge.
In the blink of an eye, nearly a year has passed.
The camp built by Leylin has now become a thriving maritime port. With hard bluestone floors and imposing brick houses all around, the entire harbor is well planned. The law and order situation is also quite good, and there is not even a trace of garbage on the ground. This is simply unimaginable in other ports.
Filth and filth are often the source of disease and pestilence. Leylin, of course, couldn't stand that.
Moreover, a clean, well-ordered port was unthinkable for the attractiveness of maritime merchants at this time.
Coupled with the advantages of fish floss and refined sugar cubes, the port has become a gold attraction today, with a large number of ships moored at the docks or loaded with goods leaving every day, and there are coolies working at night even at night, full of hustle and bustle and prosperity.
Lei Lin named this port "Morning Star Harbor"! It means a rising star!
Yes, after the completion of the Venusstar Port, it not only attracted many merchants from the original Faoran Port, but also secretly became another trade center in the open sea!
In the original waters off Dambrai, the Bodi Islands on the surface and the pirate harbor in the dark showed a clear bipolar trend, and now the Venus Port has the flavor of the rise of the third pole!
This change in the general trend has of course attracted the attention of more interested people.
"Your Excellency, the latest information!"
A guard, dressed in delicate chain mail with a calm aura and apparently the strength of a mid-rank warrior, respectfully handed a letterhead covered with fire paint to Jacob.
Jacob hurriedly opened it, and after browsing a few lines, his face changed drastically.
"I'm going to tell the young master in person!"
After walking out of the room, two rows of elite warriors immediately followed behind Jacob, both of them with an iron-blooded temperament, and even a bright brilliance flashed at the bottom of their eyes, obviously the kind of warrior elite who inspired the fighting spirit.
Walking out of the town hall, Jacob rode directly on a giant black horse, and although he had a carriage to ride in as a city sheriff, he still liked to ride his own horse because of his warrior habits.
Looking at the magnificent and majestic city hall behind him, as well as the many middle-level warriors behind him, and the awe-inspiring and flattering eyes of everyone on the road, Yacob's heart felt a little trance.
"Everything...... It's really different!"
Jacob sighed lowly, after having enough wealth, Baron Jonas and Leylin did not bury the gold coins in their cellars like other nobles on the continent, like money-greedy dragons, on the contrary, in addition to expanding the production line and building the Morning Star Port, the far-sighted Baron Jonas took almost all the income to strengthen the Faoran family.
The large-scale elaborate chain mail and steel longsword replaced the leather armor and iron fork wooden spears of the original guards, and even recruited a large number of professionals - although it was unlikely that high-level professionals above the fifteenth level were possible, other middle-level professionals, especially melee warriors, could not refuse the baron's offer at all.
There are even many professionals who have fallen in love with the environment after serving for a period of time, and simply relocated their families to become free citizens of Daystar Harbor.
As far as Jacob knows, there are already professionals above level ten who have taken refuge under Lei Lin, if it weren't for the fact that he had followed the baron since he was a child and worked hard, his position would have been replaced by others.
But even so, a strong sense of crisis is still lingering in Jacob's heart.
"I have to step up my workout, I have a hunch that the bottleneck that has plagued me for many years will definitely be broken through during this time!"
After the income of the Faolan family increased, of course, Yacob's group of old people were also profiteers, and their salaries were raised to a very high level, and Jacob also felt his own shortcomings, not only used the funds to invite scholars to give lectures for himself, but also consulted many warriors and strong men.
Now he has also reached the peak of the seventh-level warrior, and he is only one step away from the eighth-level level.
After the horses galloped out of the port, they were surrounded by a newly cultivated wheat field, the green wheat was full of life, and the air became fresh, so that Jacob couldn't help but take a few deep breaths.
The farms were made by tenants and farmers who had migrated from the Faoran family, freed slaves, and even pirates.
Leylin deliberately issued a decree that as long as slaves worked hard, they could obtain the status of a freeman after a certain number of years, as well as ten acres of arable land.
After paying the taxes for three years, they can apply to the town hall and buy them at a very low price to become real homesteaders.
This move immediately attracted a large number of slaves to work hard in order to obtain the status of a free man.
Lei Lin knows that no matter how human society changes, only classes will always exist, and maintaining the mobility between classes and giving hope to the people at the bottom to make progress is the only way to ensure the vitality of the organization and the government.
After passing the wheat field, the surrounding security was raised in vain.
Jacob even sensed the spying eyes of rangers, thieves, and even assassins.
At the end of an industrial area, fish floss and sugar are produced.
Since receiving the first trade income, Leylin has relocated the production line here to make room for the port, but also for the sake of secrecy and management.
As trade profits continue to expand, so does the level of secrecy.
Even Leylin and his mentor, Ernest, came to take charge in person, and most of the elite forces of the entire Faoran family were here, and at the same time frightened off several waves of peepers.
But as long as the windfall profits of trade exist, this lifeless snooping will not stop.
Lei Lin's villa is next to the factory area, he is not a person who treats himself badly, the entire villa covers a large area, and even moved a group of people who served him in the original manor, including the grooms, of course, the Claire sisters are also indispensable.
It was only after encountering two waves of patrols with level 10 warriors along the way that Jacob met Thunderlin.
At this time, Lei Lin had passed his sixteenth birthday, and he looked more mature, with golden curls like the sun, and eyes like the sea, every inch of muscle in his body was extremely perfect, full of a sense of coordination, or rather, his appearance now was the perfect image of the dream lover of a noble lady.
The Claire sisters next to her had a look of fascination in their eyes, and they didn't even pay much attention to Jacob coming in. (To be continued.) )
