The aristocratic district of the imperial capital, the mansion of the Lester family, in the study. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

William consulted a large number of books for three days in a row, and finally decided that he would buy perfume.

At this stage, the Holy Spirit Empire has not yet invented perfume, but there are already similar alternatives, called sachets, also known as sachets.

The so-called sachet is mostly a sachet, which contains some flowers, gum and other products with a strong fragrance, and then seals and packs it, and ties a thin rope to wear it on the body.

To make a good sachet, the raw materials must be good, such as the juice of the man-eating flower, mixed with some granules made of incense gum, it can maintain the volatile aroma for a long time, and it can be worn on the body for more than ten days without replacement.

However, the cost of making a man-eating flower sachet is expensive, and it is far from being consumed by civilians.

The Holy Spirit Empire also has inferior sachets. The raw materials of that kind of sachet are very ordinary, and after two or three days of buying it and wearing it on the body, the aroma will completely dissipate, because there are very few people who buy inferior sachets, and there are very few inferior sachets circulating on the market.

Almost all of the really good sachets are used by princes and ministers, and wealthy merchants, nobles, and high-class people.

To put it bluntly, the sachet is a dispensable luxury jewelry, but it has a symbolic meaning, and when worn on the body, most of them are used to show their identity, improve their taste and force.

For example, His Majesty Charles IX, in its royal palace, it is said that every corner is sprinkled with perfume made of the best ingredients, and the fragrance is pleasant.

However, even the top perfumes, sachets and other substances have a fatal drawback, that is, the fragrance can only be maintained for a month at most, and it is changed once a month, which does not last long at all.

Perfume makes up for this perfectly.

Buy a bottle of perfume and spray it a little before going out every day to keep the fragrance for a long time. Moreover, a bottle of perfume can be used for a long time, and at the same time, it also saves the trouble of frequent replacement.

There are many different types of perfumes, and William is ready to experiment with the most plant-based perfumes to make. For example, rose-shaped perfumes, violet perfumes, jasmine-type perfumes, and many more.

It only takes distillation to extract essential oils, mix alcohol and other substances, and a bottle of perfume is born.

It looks simple, the idea is beautiful, and it's worth trying, but William Gold is not enough. He only had more than 2,000 gold coins in hand, and he had to set up a laboratory, a perfume production factory, purchase raw materials, etc., hire workers, hire professionals, etc., and all sorts of miscellaneous calculations, 2,000 gold coins, and a little hanging.

In the study, William held a quill in his hand, wrote and drew on a blank piece of paper, and made a rough budget...... He decisively gave up on his own work.

You have to pull in investment.

"Go and get Mr. Crean, the butler. In the study, William instructed a maid waiting outside the door.

The maid left immediately. A moment later, Crean arrived. He reached out and knocked on the door, and walked straight into William's study.

"Young Master William, what are your orders?" asked Crean.

"You wait to go to the Duke's Mansion of the Mengluo family, send Zhang Baiti over, invite Young Master Lei Ao out, and I want to talk to him about a business. ”

After William finished speaking, he quickly wrote a letter of worship and handed it to Crean.

"Master William, I'll do it. Crean put away the post, bowed slightly, and exited the study.

The next night, William and Leo met again at the Draenor Manor.

As soon as he heard what kind of perfume business William was going to do, Lei Ao directly took out 300,000 gold coins and smashed them in, without the slightest hesitation.

William was puzzled, but Lei Ao said: "Brother William, I believe you for the first time, invest in that beer business, and now I have millions of gold coins in dividends every day." This time I think it's an opportunity, too! If you're talking about that perfume that's really magical, it's definitely going to make money. ”

After a pause, Lei Ao said with a smile: "Even if you are the production ****, I have to invest!

When William heard this, he was speechless.

This time, Lei Ao's movements were fast. The next morning, when William had just finished washing up and had breakfast with Sumera, a convoy came outside the iron gate of the Lester family's mansion, escorting a large chest full of thirty gold coins.

The leader of the convoy was a shrewd merchant who was well-dressed, with his hair parted and his shoes polished with oil. His name was Kodoff, and he was well known in the imperial capital, and was in charge of the spice industry of the Monro family.

William met with Cordoff in his study, and the two talked for a long time.

It can be seen that Kodorf has a wealth of experience in business and a wide range of knowledge. Especially about the spice industry, he knows a lot, many aspects that William does not know, he talks eloquently, has his own unique opinions, and his words are reasonable.

It has to be said that Kodov is very discerning. He saw the potential of perfumes and offered to take care of the experimentation and production of perfumes, and William only had to provide a few suggestions.

William was so happy that he agreed without hesitation.

The two talked until late at night, and finally signed a contract in which Krian sent Khodor out of the mansion on behalf of William.

In the days that followed, Kodov bought a lot of land on the outskirts of the imperial capital, hired groups of laborers, and began to build factories.

Every evening, Kodorf would send a schedule of how many factories had been built, how many raw materials had been bought, how many gold coins had been used, and so on.

Even Kodov invited Wilhelm to visit from time to time.

William hadn't been there at all, and only occasionally asked Crean to check it out. It's not that William doesn't go, it's that there have been so many things lately that he can't pull away at all.

Recently, the Silver Moon Song and Dance Troupe appeared in the imperial capital. Almost every other week, the Silver Moon Song and Dance Troupe holds a large-scale performance, which attracts many nobles and commoners to visit, and its reputation is not good.

Before each performance, Julius would send an invitation to William. And after each performance, William would privately find Euris and negotiate with her to buy and sell iron ore.

William didn't have that many gold coins, so he wrote an IOU and stamped his fingerprint. As for William's debts, Ulis doesn't seem to be worried about William's debts.

When William bought an iron ore ship, he wrote an IOU, and Julius received an IOU.

Just as William never asked where Julis's iron ore came from, Euris never asked William what he was buying so much iron ore for.

As the days passed, on the high seas of the Canaan province, as fast as ten days or as slow as half a month, there would always be a few merchant ships full of iron ore, secretly transferred to several large merchant ships leased by William.

Shiploads of iron ore, secretly circulated on the high seas of the Canaanite province to William's merchant ships, mixed with large quantities of leather purchased by Crean, and then entered the undead realm, where they were secretly smelted and made into weapons and iron armor.

A large number of skeleton soldiers are armed and ready to rush out of the Bone Territory and conquer the Death Knights on the Bone Plains.

And the perfume workshop is also being completed day by day. It was at this time that Chancellor of the Exchequer Rondoses was finally invited out by Leo.

William, Leon, and Rondoses met at Delano Manor, and the three of them chatted for a long time in the room, and Londoses also received a big red envelope.

As the saying goes, money makes the devil grind.

The next day, William sent some beer samples. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rondoses, with more than a dozen court tasters, tasted the beer for a long time, and the taste of the beer was unanimously praised.

Eventually, William heard from Leo that beer seemed to have flowed into the palace, and His Majesty Charles personally tasted it, praised it, and directly listed beer as one of the royal wines in the palace.

A few days later, Chancellor of the Exchequer Rondoses appeared before William. He handed over an order, and said without blinking: "At Your Majesty's birthday banquet in a month, at least 30,000 people will need beer." You're ready to prepare. ”

When William heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
