Chapter 65: The Land of Plenty
What to change?
Queen Christina didn't say it, but Luke could understand something.
Sitting on the stage and watching the dance under the stage, Dai'er was dignified and elegant, quiet like a holy sculpture, but her heart longed to fly away from here and be a free jasmine.
Sinclair, who danced with the aristocratic lady on the dance floor, was handsome and free, showing his royal temperament and getting welcomed by the people around him, but he didn't really care about the throne and just wanted to be a general who commanded thousands of troops.
and Agatha, who doesn't know where to hide, in order to get rid of her fate, she took action early.
The ideological changes caused by the times were first reflected in this generation of young people. They are not conservative and pedantic like their fathers, and they are no longer willing to accept the fate that has been imposed. They will think, and they will fight!
Christina's heart is not as cold as she seems, but as hot and energetic as her age.
Conquering this fiery horse has always been regarded as a difficult story challenge by players.
Luke said to Christina, "Speaking of change, it occurred to me that the land of Lusne Bay is a blessed land of abundance. The climate is very good for crops, and you can get much higher yields than other places where you grow. ”
The Kingdom of Lusian is located on a peninsula southeast of the Golden Shield Empire, where the land is fertile, the climate is suitable, and the land is blessed with unknown powers, making it ideal for farming.
The Golden Shield Empire has experienced various upheavals in its history, but there has never been a large-scale famine because of the existence of the Kingdom of Lusen.
Christina didn't know what Luke meant when he suddenly spoke about Lus's Bay, so she said, "It's the luck of Lus's benefactor to receive the blessing of the harvest god." ”
But the Golden Shield Empire with abundant martial virtues is the misfortune of Lu Si's benefactor. In order to maintain the independence of the kingdom, the kingdom of Lusien had to pay tribute to the Golden Shield Empire every year, and from time to time he had to make peace with his relatives in exchange for his own agricultural products to enter the international market.
Luke said: "I know that there is a lot of food surplus in the kingdom of Lusion every year, and as industrial machinery cultivates the farmland, Lusion's food production capacity continues to increase year by year. Even if Lusian vigorously developed animal husbandry and winemaking, he could not exhaust the surplus of food, but instead created a surplus of meat, cheese, fruit and wine. ”
Christina agreed: "I also talked to MacDonald about this just now, my father wants Lusion's agricultural products to enter the imperial market more, but the cabinet does not want to see Lusian's agricultural products hit the price of the imperial market.
There are also a lot of perishable food storage problems that dictate that there is no way for them to be transported for a long time. ”
Luke asked, "Is there a map of Luson Bay?" ”
Realizing something, Christina immediately said, "Yes, I'll have someone pick it up right away." Can I get McDonald to come over and sit in? I've been away from Lusian for a long time, and he knows better than I know what it's like there. ”
"Absolutely! Making money in Lusian Bay of course requires the involvement of the Lusian royal family. ”
After a moment MacDonald came over very reservedly, he did not have the arrogance he had before, and it was clear that Luke had just scared Sinclair by calling him like this.
Christina taught her brother a lesson: "Lusan Bay is closed to information, I don't know how fast the world is changing, this time is an opportunity to broaden your horizons." Governor Meteor is not something you can offend, apologize to him. ”
Although MacDonald was unwilling to apologize to a little lord as a prince, but the former grandson Sinclair and the queen had such respect for this peer, he had to bend down and salute Luke: "I'm sorry, Governor Meteor." ”
Luke could tell that MacDonald couldn't let go of his identity, but he didn't mind, just a country prince who hadn't seen the market.
"I forgive you. Sit down, Her Royal Highness and I were just talking about the agricultural products of the Kingdom of Ruthne, and there are some things that you need to decide. ”
MacDonald sat down with a puzzled face, and the squire had already found a map and spread it on the table between the three of them.
The Kingdom of Lusian has only one land neighbor, the Golden Shield Empire. The entire territory of the kingdom was on the peninsula, which curved north to form the Gulf of Lusin with the imperial coastline.
The peninsula is flat, more than 70% of the land is cultivated, and the export of agricultural products is the main source of income for the kingdom. But as industrialization swept the world, the kingdom of Lusne, which relied on agriculture, was not as comfortable as before.
The decline in the price of agricultural products and the inability to sell agricultural products have become the biggest headaches for the kingdom of Lusien.
Luke pointed to the map and said to Queen Christina and Prince MacDonald, "Pearl Harbor, the northernmost point of the Lusian Kingdom, is 750 kilometers away from the City of Angry Waves, which is nearly a third shorter than the land distance.
As far as I know...... Lusian's wines are of very good quality because of your specialty grains, but they don't sell for a good price because of the lack of commercial operations. However, some wineries in Nutao City have shipped bulk wine from Pearl Port, and then packaged it and labeled it themselves, so they can sell it for several times the price. ”
Prince MacDonald's eyes widened and his mouth widened, he couldn't imagine that there was such an operation in the world. Moreover, most of the wineries in the kingdom of Lusian are royal properties, and they have always exploited others by themselves, who wants to be stripped by others even more.
It was also the first time that Empress Christina had heard of such a middleman making the difference, and she asked Luke, "Does anyone really buy wine that is several times the premium?" ”
"The world market is expanding too fast, and the unequal access to information has created countless business opportunities that can be leveraged to make money," Luke said. Angry Waves is an international city facing the whole world, and many companies are making money by taking advantage of the information gap. ”
Prince MacDonald immediately asked, "Can we raise the price of wine and make more money?" ”
Luke smiled and said, "If the Kingdom of Lusian is only a supplier of wine, it is not qualified to set prices, and the person who controls the sales end can always turn your wine into the price of water."
If you want to make money, you have to enter the Raging Waves market first. ”
Christina said: "This should harm the interests of many people in Fury Waves City, do you need any conditions that the Kingdom of Lusian agrees to?" ”
In order to prevent the grain of the Kingdom of Lusian from impacting the imperial market, the Cross has been restricting the entry of Rusian's grain through cabinet decrees. Therefore, the kingdom of Lusien has no bargaining power over grain, and can only make hard-earned money.
The same goes for wine.
If the wine of the Kingdom of Lusien can be directly connected to the world market through Angry Waves City, it will inevitably affect the interests of many people. Christina knew that Meteor would never be so kind, without enough benefits, he would not offend his own people.
But who would have thought that Luke said, "Rest assured, there are no strings attached to this kind of cooperation. ”
Christina didn't believe it: "How do you explain to your people?" ”
Luke replied with a smile: "Speculation can create a huge amount of wealth for an individual in the short term, but it is not a good thing for the development of a region. Taking advantage of information inequality to make money is just playing the time gap. After a long time, wine buyers will eventually find the kingdom of Lusen.
At that time, the city will lose a sum of income, the local wine industry will be hit by the blows, and the kingdom of Lusian will also have no bargaining power in the face of international bulk wine merchants. In the end, a good hand is played badly, and the money is earned by others!
The Kingdom of Lusien and the City of Angry Waves have a benign cooperation in the wine industry, with a supply of goods, a market, the fastest information flow, and a professional marketing team. We can adjust the production capacity of different wines according to the changes in the market, and we can use the market dominance to formulate the most beneficial sales plan for us.
Even after the success of the wine cooperation model, we can add other agricultural products from the Kingdom of Luson to this cooperation.
In the future, the world's demand for food and wine will only increase. I will not give up a mountain of gold for the sake of the small profits of a small number of people. ”
Macdonald looked at Christina, apparently Luke's pie was too big, and he was a little confused.
After Christina became the queen, her horizons were also broadened a lot by jumping out of the closed kingdom. During this time, she had heard a lot of economic miracles that were breaking out in Raging Waves, and all of this was inseparable from the control and management of the city by the meteorite.
If the wine and agricultural products of the Kingdom of Lusne really form a solid commercial entity with the City of Angry Waves, as Meteorite said, it will definitely bring wealth to the kingdom that was previously unimaginable.
Christina told McDonald: "I think it's a good opportunity to improve the economic woes of Lusne Bay. You have been with the Governor of Meteor these days, forgetting your identity as a prince and learning from the Governor.
I would write to my father and tell him about my cooperation with the wine industry in Angry Waves. ”
"Okay, Sister Christina...... No, yes, Her Royal Highness. ”
Christina then said to Luke: "The kingdom of Lusian is very closed, and I am afraid that I can't find anyone who can deal with the international commodity trade, so I will ask the city of Angry Waves to help more in the matter of cooperation."
I promise that the simple Ruth benefactor will provide you with the best quality wine. ”
Luke wasn't content with a single wine partnership, he was eyeing agriculture throughout the Lusne Bay region.
"Her Royal Highness the Queen, Her Royal Highness the Prince, you can leave the commercial aspect to Nutao City. I will inform Lordor Ibur and organize a business team to go to the Kingdom of Luson to discuss the joint formation of the company.
Including grain and other agricultural products, they can be included in the company's business projects, and plans can be formulated in advance.
It's just that in the future, the maritime trade between Angry Waves City and Lusne Bay will definitely surge, and Pearl Port may not be able to provide enough throughput. ”
Christina asked MacDonald, "Is Pearl Harbor still like that?" ”
MacDonald reluctantly said: "Apart from the fishermen, there are not many ships in and out of Pearl Port, and we don't have the money to expand and repair Pearl Port." ”
If you can't get into the port, you can't get the goods out, and no matter how profitable the business is, it won't be your turn to make it.
Luke then said, "The City of the Furious Waves can invest in building a new port for the Kingdom of Lusion, and it can also invest in building a new road through the peninsula. ”
MacDonald looked at Luke in shock, his entire kingdom is reluctant to spend money on repairing the port, and you can invest in building a new one, plus a road through the peninsula.
I heard that Angry Waves City is rich, is it really that rich?
"You're going to build us a port and a road?"
Looking at MacDonald's expression, Luke could only sigh that country princes were rare and strange, and they didn't know the dimensional gap between agrarian society and industrial society.
"It's just a port and a road."
That's it!
Macdonald could only hold back one sentence: "Thank you, Lord Governor, you are so rich!" ”
Luke said very tuggingly: "Money is just a number for me, so that everyone has money to earn, it will give me a sense of accomplishment."
Want to make more money? ”
"Yes!" MacDonald said without thinking.
"Good...... The city of Angry Waves can invest in the livestock farming of the Kingdom of Lusien, and use your surplus grain to raise cattle, sheep, and pigs. Nutao City can invest in building a milk powder factory, a cheese factory, a textile factory, a weaving factory, and a meat processing factory for you.
I knew that Miss Weathersky had developed a secret technique that could sterilize food while keeping it delicious at a very low cost. Her mystical development team has also used this technology to successfully create sealed filled food products called cans.
The meat, vegetables, and fruits in canned food can be stored for more than ten years without spoiling.
Angry Waves can invest in the construction of the world's first canning factory in Pearl Harbor. ”
No matter how hillbilly MacDonald is, he also knows that the Governor in front of him will hit himself with money again.
The biggest problem in the kingdom of Lusan is that there are too many kinds of agricultural products. If you can't sell it or eat it, it will cause a lot of waste, especially meat, milk, vegetables, and fruits.
As long as the problem of food storage is solved, it is possible to enter the long-distance trade at sea and sell things where there is a lot of money.
Macdonald didn't know how to express her excitement when she was smashed, but fortunately, Queen Christina was still calm, and she asked Luke: "These investments are very large sums of money, how does the Kingdom of Lusian need to repay them?" ”
Luke sensed Christina's vigilance, and she must still think that there could be no bargains in the world, and that these investments must have harsh add-ons.
Luke replied, "The Investment Office of the Angry Waves will calculate the detailed investment amount and draw up a debt repayment plan that you can accept based on the income of the Russen Kingdom.
These are all profitable businesses, and I'm not worried about the Luxian Kingdom not paying for it. ”
Christina looked at Luke and asked, "There really are no other terms." ”
Luke shrugged: "You are the Empress of the Empire, I am the Minister of the Empire, and the Kingdom of Lusin is a subject of the Empire. If you want to add any additional terms to these investments, that's your business.
I'm only responsible for making money for you. ”
Christina couldn't see through Luke's mind, and although she decided that there was definitely not as simple as making money behind these investments, she couldn't figure out what benefits Luke could get from them other than money.
I have to admit that this investment plan is really fragrant!
It can allow the kingdom of Lusen to enjoy the true richness of this rich land.
Christina raised her glass: "Welcome to the Kingdom of Russin. ”
Luke and Christina clink glasses: "Thank you, Your Highness, happy cooperation!" ”
The closed kingdom of Lusian has been pried open, and the capital controlled by Luke is about to carry out a dimensionality reduction blow against the agricultural country that it knows it knows.
