Chapter 47: Hans Returns

Since that day, after Donner's reassurance, Anna has slowly shaken off the shadow of her psyche and regained a smile on her face.

It was a sunny day, and after Donner had finished two lessons, he told the children to find Sister Anna and Sister Lislu to play.

Donner made two fun toys, one was a badminton ball and the other was a skipping rope.

It's relatively easy to make both things, and Donner made them out just to do extracurricular activities for the kids, saving them from playing in the mud all day long all over the island.

Most of the boys are very passionate about football, and these two new games are popular with the girls, as Anna and Lislu are very interested in skipping rope and badminton, and often take the children to play.

Donner put away his things and went to the porcelain kiln, these days the alchemist suddenly became very interested in firing porcelain, and often ran to the porcelain kiln, taking all kinds of stones and mud and throwing them into it to burn.

Donner didn't bother to bother with him, as long as he helped take care of the porcelain firing while he tinkered with the things.

Now the women are gradually familiar with the process of making porcelain, but the patterns on some large porcelain still need to be painted manually, which gives Donner a headache.

Hans has been gone for more than a month, and the porcelain has been fired in several kilns, but he has not yet returned.

I don't know if it's a long way or if there was an accident, Donner has no bottom in his heart, and even if he is in a hurry, he doesn't show it in front of people.

In the end, letting Hans follow Theodore to Manhill City is a desperate choice, but there is no way, if you want to transform Crescent Island, you must first have money and food.

If you want to be rich, you must first sell porcelain, and you must have stable trade channels.

This kind of risky behavior, even if Donner is very worried, he must make a very confident posture to outsiders.

If he doesn't have faith, how can he get the people below him to believe in him?

Donner crouched on the ground and carefully painted a pair of vases.

A pirate walked up to Donner, raised his hand diagonally to his ear, and gave a very strange military salute: "Report, Deputy Commander Hans and Theodore have returned from their voyage." ”

Donner paused, then hummed, put down the quill, and asked, "Are you on the docks?"

"It's already in Island Bay. The pirate's voice was full of energy, completely devoid of his former energy.

Donner stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go meet them!"

Passing by the barnyard, Donner called out to Lislu, who was playing badminton with Anna, "Miss Lislu, Lord Sir is back, do you want to come with me to the docks." ”

When Lislu heard this, she wrinkled her nose and snorted coldly, ignoring Donner, and jumping towards the dock by herself.

Donner smiled, although this aristocratic girl was a little arrogant, but her heart was not bad.

These days, I have been honestly staying on the island, playing with the children from time to time, and I don't look down on this group of children.

However, Mr. Sorcerer often reminded her to be careful of her status as a nobleman and not to mingle with these lowly pirates.

By the time Donner arrived at the dock, the ship had dropped its anchor and docked at the pier.

Hans was the first to get off the boat, Donner nodded to him, and then smiled at Theodore behind him, "Lord Sir, welcome you back safely, Donner has been looking forward to it for a long time." ”

After seeing that Miss Lislu next to him was safe and sound, Theodore bowed down and saluted Donner: "Thank you for your concern, Lord Chief. ”

Donner was in a very good mood and said to the pirates beside him, "Go and arrange lunch, presumably the brothers are already hungry." ”

Afterwards, Donner walked towards the island with Hans Theodore and the others.

After lunch, Hans and Theodore gave Donner the details of the trade.

The 450 pieces of porcelain, large and small, were all sold out within two days.

The large porcelain at auction fetched a total of twenty-eight thousand six hundred silver coins, especially the porcelain statue of an angel, which was bought by a high priest for one hundred and twenty gold coins.

As for the remaining porcelain plates, wine glasses, small vases, and other small pieces, they were placed in Count Elinor's shop, and the next day they were bought by a wealthy merchant for more than 20,000 silver coins at one time.

Donner estimated in his heart that this batch of porcelain sold for more than 40,000 silver coins in total.

This...... It seems to be far more than expected!

However, after listening to Hans and Theodore's detailed descriptions, Donner realized that this batch of porcelain was many times more expensive.

There are many reasons for this.

The first porcelain appeared on the mainland for the first time, and it was in exquisite condition, in line with the aesthetics of the aristocracy.

The second is that the plan formulated by Donner played a big role, secretly promoting gossip and arousing the curiosity of the nobles.

The most important thing is the novel auction method, so that the aristocracy can form a comparison mentality, and they will not admit defeat, so that the price of porcelain is too high.

However, this is only the case, according to Donner's prediction, the price of the second batch of porcelain will stabilize, the small porcelain is estimated to be around twenty to thirty silver coins, and the large porcelain can be sold for between one hundred and one hundred and fifty, and perhaps the price will fall as the volume of porcelain traded increases.

But it doesn't matter, it's a matter of time, and Donner has been prepared for it for a long time. At this stage, the production of porcelain is equivalent to a monopoly in their own hands, as long as the quantity of porcelain produced and the quantity of sales are controlled, the price will not fall too much.

And let Count Elinor act as an agent, or have the opportunity to find two more agents to sell porcelain to various other cities on the mainland, and the silver coins are not a lot of money.

According to the previous agreement, thirty percent of the profits from this batch of porcelain were given to Count Elinor, that is, more than 10,000 silver coins.

But unexpectedly, Theodore refused, and he handed Donner a letter. Donner opened up suspiciously, and only after reading it did he suddenly become enlightened.

The letter was written by the Countess, to the effect that this time the profits were not to be spared, and the Earl's Court took out a new sum of silver coins for the purchase of porcelain.

This means that Downer understands that he wants to continue to trade.

Donner touched his chin, it seems that these porcelain profits have made the earl quite excited!

In addition, Lislu was mentioned at the end of the letter, in which the Countess expressed her gratitude to Donner for her tolerance and care for her daughter during this time, and hoped that her daughter would continue to live on the island for a while, so that Theodore could continue to load porcelain and return to Manhill.

Seeing this, Donner sighed in his heart, this countess is interesting, and she has come to retreat as advance.

Although it is said on the surface, let the daughter continue to be a hostage on the island, and we will continue to do business. But the secret meaning is, you see, I don't want to make a profit, and I also know that you want to sell porcelain to the mainland, and I agree to continue trading with you.

But shouldn't you also be generous and let my daughter go?

Donner pondered for a moment, and quickly decided: "Sir Lord, the promise I gave you will not change, thirty percent of the profits will still be given to you, if you wish, you can use the silver coins given to you by the Countess to buy porcelain with these profits, and in addition, Miss Lislu can return to Manhill City with you this time." ”

"Really?" said Theodore.

Donner nodded and smiled, "I hope we have a good time working together." ”
