The huge floating ship floated over the orc grassland, breaking through the wind blowing from the side and making a rapid advance towards due north. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn the flat and almost unsheltered orc grassland, the end of May is the season of wind, the sea breeze blowing from the western sea country with a strong water element swept the whole territory of the grassland, the cold and humid sea breeze will collide with the hot and humid air transferred from the northern forest over the grassland, not only will blow away the gradually beginning of the sultry heat on the grassland, but also bring a lot of rain to the grassland in the near future, when the rainy season immediately follows the wind season, will make all the plants grow more vigorously.

Looking down from the floating boat, the plants that have become yellow due to the dry winter are dyed green again, and the low weeds have also begun to grow wildly with the arrival of the wind season, absorbing more and more rainfall, and the weeds that were originally only up to the knees in early spring can now almost cover the whole body, at an altitude of more than 400 meters, overlooking the grassland below, under the invasion of strong winds, patches of weeds are dumped to one side, revealing the dense white and black spots hidden in the grass, which are the livestock grazed by the orc herdsmen, who are eating to their heart's content in this best season, making themselves stronger。

"The Land of the Sea not only has the best seafood, the most beautiful and expensive pearls and corals, but also the loot that various mercenary groups have brought back from the islands in the waters of the Dense Fog Zone. Marquis Snape and Catherine stood side by side on the side of the ship, looking down at the grasslands below and said, "The best spirits and the best ores are in the mountain country, the herbs and spellcasting materials that grow in the elven forest are the densest in the Yara world, and the handicrafts that can make all nobles crazy, the furs of the orc grasslands, Dairy products and meat are needed by every race, and although the Land of Sand does not seem to have any special resources available, there are a large number of mythril and fire crystals underground, although these resources are buried deep under the sand and are difficult to mine, but for the sandmen, mining them is as simple as daily life. The magic products of the Bute Plateau are the first in the world, and your neutral land exports mercenary adventurers and thieves, as for the Faral Empire, more than 60% of all the magic steel mines in the Yala World are in Faral. Counting all the strength of the Yala world now, only the Federation does not have any special products, but the Federation is the richest country in the entire world, do you know why?"

"Neville's location itself is relatively close to the middle of the Yarra continent, and there are not too many mountains around it, so the transportation is convenient enough. Catherine sniffed the aroma of wine in the glass and replied indifferently: "Therefore, if you want to trade by land, you will often choose Neville as the final trading venue, although the neutral place also assumes some of the functions of the trading venue, but it is still far from Neville." Convenient conditions contributed to the prosperity of Neville's commerce, so that the Neville Federation could become the richest country without any special products and relying on commerce alone. ”

"That's what most people think, but it's not that simple. Snape shook his head and said, "It is true that the Confederation has relied on its own geographical factors to create the basic conditions for commercial prosperity, but what really makes this country rich is the business skills and talents of everyone in this country, which have led to the emergence of countless successful merchants in this country." It can be said that the accumulation of the wealth of the merchants who have gone out of the federation is equivalent to accumulating more than half of the wealth of the entire world. Compared to the achievements of business, I am afraid that only those goblins in the entire Yarra world can be compared with the Neville people, and even if the goblins have inherited tens of thousands of years of business experience, they can only maintain a balance with the Neville people at this stage, and no one can really suppress the other. ”

"Skill and talent?" said Catherine, as if talking to herself, "that is, the combination of innate talent and acquired learning has made Neville rich now?"

"That's right, skill and talent. Many people think that businessmen just buy low and sell high, which is the easiest thing, but in fact, let people who think like this to do business, I am afraid that they will lose their capital in the first year. Snape sneered: "If you want to be a successful businessman, you need to be very skilled in business skills, how to arrange channels, how to avoid risks, how to contact customers, how to expand your network, how to cooperate with each other, how to compete with each other, all kinds of skills, too many to count." Only by mastering these skills can you have the conditions to be a successful businessman. However, these skills alone are useless, and it is impossible to achieve too high a level of achievement in any case, because a truly successful businessman must have enough talent, and the so-called talent is actually here. ”

"Vision?" Catherine turned her head with a smile and looked at the old man who was pointing to her eyes, although she didn't understand why the old man suddenly said this to herself, she nodded seriously and said, "Indeed, vision is very important. ”

"What kind of goods can be transported to what location can be obtained to earn more, this is the most basic vision, predicting where and at what time will be what goods are in demand, this is just a beginner, can know which means to use, can pay a very small price to successfully promote a large change in prices in which region, so that they can obtain higher profits, so that they are preliminarily qualified, until they can prejudge in what field they can invest in to get the greatest return, and have the courage to invest enough, in order to become a successful businessman。 Marquis Snape explained patiently and in detail: "However, if you want to be like me, from the most ordinary small business aristocrat, step by step to today's position, these are not enough, if you want to achieve real success, if you want to go to the top, what you really need to invest in is people." ”

"Discover the potential in a person and then invest in him during his low times to help him succeed step by step. Even if you can't do this, you have to build the best relationship with them when he hasn't succeeded. Snape said softly: "Only in this way can you get rewards that others dare not imagine, and you can be considered a real businessman." ”

"Are you investing in people?" Catherine finally understood what Snape was telling her for, and sighed softly and said, "I see, for example, my grandfather?"

"Yes, he was the first investment I made. Snape's smile was full of nostalgia: "I was so young. (To be continued.) )
