Chapter 65: The Wildfire Traders
A few days later, in several small towns without churches, it had been rumored that Prince Teisant was going to recruit workers, and this time it was not a woman to clean the castle for the prince, but to build a castle, and the square where they signed up was already crowded.
"Have you heard? Our lord has been silent for so many years, and now he has started to recruit workers!"
"I've known for a long time, it seems that I'm going to find someone to build a castle for him, and a year's salary is equivalent to planting land for ten years, are you going?"
"Then I must go, such a good treatment is still about food and housing, but I can't go home for a year, but the lord said that I will pay first, and I am not afraid that I will not pay the wages when the time comes......"
The mayor moved a chair and stood on it, he was directly in charge of this, and he was thrilled for a long time to receive the Prince's handwritten letter, and no one in the town had disappeared recently, which was the most gratifying thing.
"Listen, everyone, this time the prince is recruiting workers, the age requirement is between thirty and forty years old, good health and no special hobbies, among which ordinary workers are given an honorarium of three gold coins a year! And there is no age limit for craftsmen with crafts, such as blacksmiths, carpenters, and people with special skills can come to me to register, and the remuneration will be doubled! But this work may not be able to go home for a whole year, you should consider it. ”
Almost all the men in the town who met the requirements came, and everyone lined up to hear that such a good pay was paid, but some people left when they heard that they couldn't go home for a whole year, but most of them remained.
The whole recruitment process went very smoothly, after all, the money was in place, and it was easy to say that there was a lot left, and the recruitment in the town was carried out in an orderly manner.
Of course, in addition to the labor required to build a factory, a large number of raw materials and some special materials are required to make various equipment, and it is believed that each merchant group must have a lot of inventory of these materials.
As the center of the entire continent is the main city of the Free Federation, Star Emblem City, where goods from various countries circulate, and where churches, mage associations, adventurer alliances, and the general associations of major merchant groups are located, Il rode Nesa Alex, who finally came back, to Star Emblem City, the main city of the Free Federation.
Here, he drank the transformation potion and began to gather information, and roughly understood the division of interests of these merchants, and the wildfire merchants, who owned several mines and were engaged in weapons business, seemed to be his best target at the moment, so Il planned to find the owner of the wildfire merchants to discuss related matters first.
"Boss, what business do you want to know about? Our Wildfire Merchant Group will provide you with the most satisfactory goods and services regardless of the size of the business. ”
The reception of the store is a tall red-haired beauty, she is wearing a leather black bodysuit, showing off her hot body perfectly without losing her ability, and her language and demeanor are very appropriate, which can't help but make people feel good.
However, although the red-haired beauty received Il very politely, she did not think that this man would come to talk about any big business, after all, the people who talked about big business were officials or nobles who came with guards.
Ilr sat on a comfortable cowhide sofa under the guidance of the beautiful woman, and prepared some delicate pastries and fruits on the coffee table in front of him, and the beautiful woman poured a glass of fresh juice for Il before sitting down.
"I'd like to know what mines you have under the Wildfire Merchant Regiment, and what mines they produce?"
"Boss, our wildfire merchant group has five large mine resources, including two large iron mines, a copper mine, a quarry and a coal mine, I don't know what mine the boss needs?"
This beautiful woman has never met such a strange customer, the average guest enters the store and directly asks the selling price of iron or how much a set of soldier's equipment is, how much time it takes to buy 10,000 sets to build a good one, etc., this man actually opened his mouth and asked the mine, is it possible that he still wants to contract the mine?
"I want to pay you some money in advance, and buy all the iron ore, copper ore and coal mines mined in the next three years, I don't know how much it will cost? And I also hope to cooperate with you on some projects, and I am expected to invest some gold coins first. ”
......
"What!"
When this beautiful woman heard that Yir wanted to contract so many minerals, she jumped up from the sofa with a brush, and looked at the unattractive man in front of her with two eyes, you must know that iron ore is the lifeblood of the wildfire merchant group, and it is precisely because of the mastery of the two largest iron ore veins on the continent that the wildfire merchant group can engage in so many iron products business, and this person actually opens his mouth to buy the mines of four mines?
"Boss, you're not kidding me, are you? The resources of the mine are the lifeblood of almost every iron-related merchant group, and if you book our mine, we won't be able to do the rest of the business. ”
Of course, Il wasn't joking with her, he chose the Wildfire Merchant because it had a pretty good reputation among so many traders, and it had both iron and copper, both of which he needed right now.
Needless to say, the use of iron ore, including magnetite, pyrite and many other iron ores, they can not only get magnet, the necessary material for power generation and more iron, the sulfur gas obtained after pyrite calcination is the indispensable raw material for acid production in the future.
Copper ore is the main material used in the manufacture of electric motors and wires, and in the petrochemical industry, marine railways and even in the pharmaceutical field, pure copper products and copper alloys have been widely used in corrosion resistance.
"So I'd like to talk to your boss about this in person, I'm afraid you won't be able to make a decision on such an important matter, right?"
With that, Ilr smiled and took out a golden family crest from his pocket, on which the intricate pattern could be seen with lions and horses bowing to the center on either side, and in the middle was a crossed blooming rose standing in the reverse pentagon, surrounded by some vines around the whole figure to turn it into a whole.
The beautiful woman took the golden badge cautiously, and she made a big bow to Il before she looked at the pattern on the badge, this kind of complex crest is generally only possessed by those ancient families, and with her knowledge she could not tell which family crest it was.
"Your Excellency, please wait a moment, and I'll go and talk to the boss in person. ”
The red-haired beauty's expression has become much more respectful, you must know that these ancient families often have the wealth accumulated over hundreds of years, and there will even be some rare treasures that are not available in the world, these things can often be sold for sky-high prices at auctions, and the people of these families rarely show up on the mainland, but every time they appear in the Chamber of Commerce, they must make some big deals.
The beautiful woman walked up to the second floor with the golden badge, and after a while, she hurried down and respectfully carried the badge in front of Il.
