Chapter Ninety-Five: El's Comfort

Sasha finished speaking in one breath, and finally was able to take a sip of tea and take a break. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Al took over the conversation and analyzed it carefully.

"Among the four most profitable industries in Shenghui City, needless to say, rice, we don't have any fields, so we can't do this business. Needless to say, the western border itself produces less salt, and it has to be imported every year, so it is impossible to separate it and sell it to Shenghui City. As for what Mine has just said, it is really unrealistic to want to eat from the mouths of these greedy nobles. As for the last money, which is to open banks, what can we do to win over those old banks that have been in business for a long time and have good reputation?"

When he analyzed it like this, everyone looked at each other, which means that these four businesses in the Western Border Commercial Bank can't interfere at all. Thinking of this, everyone present was inevitably a little discouraged. Al turned to look at Thrall again, "Mr. Sal, tell me about what else this Radiant City is doing, let's take a closer look." ”

Sasha nodded, and said, "Some of the other trades are just ordinary daily necessities. One of the great trades is the cloth business, after all, people always have to wear clothes, even if you wrap a piece of cloth, it is better than naked. We can think of a way in this area, but this line is a rare industry in which the aristocracy does not interfere much, and the competition is fierce. There are many merchants who grow flax and ramie plants nearby, and they have the advantage of materials, and if they want to take a bite from them, they have to spend a lot of effort, and they are a water mill for many years. ”

"As for others, it's a small business such as soy sauce and vinegar, wood. We have purchased some of these manufacturers before, and we can only say that we do not lose or win, and we can barely maintain a food and clothing. If you want to rely on them to support the Western Territory Trading Company, it is a pipe dream, and it is simply unrealistic. ”

However, Sasha immediately added: "There is also a big lucrative business in Shenghui City, which is the luxury industry for the nobles. For example, the tailor shop has to make a variety of glossy and bright dresses and skirts for those young ladies every year. There is also a jewelry business, all kinds of jewelry, rings, necklaces are profiteering, jadeite, agate, diamonds and other rare stones shipped from all over the world, as long as they change hands, they can be sold for dozens or hundreds of times the price. There are also all kinds of animals, birds, flowers, fruits and vegetables, and rare ingredients that the nobles have to transport from other places in order to satisfy their appetites. In fact, most of the foot merchants in Shenghui City provide raw materials for these luxury industries. ”

In this way, Al frowned again, it seems that there are many businesses that can make money, but there are no businesses that want to rise out of the crowd and open up the situation. "Or are you too anxious? The mall is like a battlefield, and if you want to succeed without years of hard fighting, how can there be such a cheap thing in this world. Speaking of which, it will take a lot of hard work and painstaking work before it is possible to break out of the world in the capital of St. Teresa. I used to boast in front of those nobles that I wanted to establish the world's No. 1 trading house, but now I think it's arrogant and too Meng Lang. When I was on the earth, I had seen all kinds of promotional methods, and if I put it in this world, it must be invincible, and starting a big business house from scratch is also like picking up things, which is easy. I am still too naΓ―ve and naΓ―ve to think about this kind of thought, and I look down on the big names in this world too much.

He raised his head, glanced around at everyone present, and found that everyone was frowning and looking depressed, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. In the final analysis, they were all influenced by their own eagerness to achieve success, and they all became impatient, and they did not want to make more efforts in business development, but instead simply took a shortcut to crooked and evil ways. Mr. Sasha, such an old and sophisticated businessman, suffered such a big loss this time, and planted a big heel, in the final analysis, he put too much pressure on him.

Thinking like this, Al shook the rope bell and called the old butler in, "Old Scheegman, prepare a refreshment for all of you, and everyone will talk while eating." ”

Seeing everyone's slightly surprised expressions, Al laughed, "I'm here to discuss matters, not to go to jail. Do you still want to lock everyone up, put your hungry chest on your back, and then put it back? Besides, you don't have to look so sad. "After all, we're just talking about a trading house and hundreds of thousands of gold coins. It was not Grievous the Great, who sat on the throne, or the princes of the dynasty, who were discussing the common people and the great plans of the people, and they had to put on a worried and thoughtful expression on their faces. ”

Seeing that the expressions on everyone's faces were a little relaxed, Al struck while the iron was hot and said: "And Mr. Sasha has just said that we are actually profit-making in these two months, isn't this a good thing? What's more, we still have such a stable trade route as the western border, and we also have a fixed income and retreat, so we don't need to be too anxious, we should eat, drink, and just follow the steps. ”

"Wait a while, everyone will give a little opinion, of course, it doesn't matter if you can't mention it for a while. When everyone went back, they thought about it slowly, and came up with a new idea to tell Mr. Sasha, or bring it up at the next meeting. Anyway, the doors of this mansion are always open to everyone. ”

As he spoke, the old butler brought over all the refreshments. Al motioned for everyone not to be informal, and talked while eating, making a few jokes and a few interesting anecdotes in the market, which made everyone laugh. His breezy and indifferent appearance infected everyone, and unconsciously, everyone talked and laughed, and the gap between them was much less, and there was no tension like the beginning of the sabre-rattling.

In the evening, Al entertained everyone and held a banquet. At the dinner, everyone drank a lot. Brewing liquor, a few stewards drank high and became a little profligate, and one of them vomited Al without paying attention. He was so scared that he woke up on the spot, and his clothes were soaked in cold sweat at once, and the two trembled, panicking. The originally lively banquet instantly quieted down, and not only him, but everyone else's faces turned pale.

However, Al was unconscious, shook his hand and said, "I'm drunk, and everyone is drunk, so I won't leave everyone behind." Old Scheggman, arrange for a carriage to take you back. And just like that, I got the thing done.

When the old butler returned home, he saw that Al had changed his clothes and was sitting in the hall pondering. He said indignantly to Al, "These people are too rude to offend you like this. ”

Al, who has the idea that everyone on the earth is equal in his bones, doesn't care, he smiles and says, "It's just an unintentional move, can't you kill him for this?" The so-called big nobles should be big people, with big bellies, and the prime minister can support the boat in his belly. ”

He thought for a while, and then he commanded: "Old Schegeman, you prepare an ordinary plain clothes, I will be useful tomorrow." ”
