Chapter 64: A Good Opportunity to Make a Fortune
So, on the day of the blessing, a large ticket company was established......
'Griffin Grains, Oils & Foods, Inc.';
'Sarah Cosmetics Co., Ltd.';
'Lesley Trading Co., Ltd.';
'Anson's Hat Agricultural Development Co., Ltd.';
'Klose Military Industry Development Co., Ltd.';
'Alice Trust Development Investment Bank';
There are also 'Wanderer Animal Husbandry Technology', 'Saralia's Secret Clothing Trade', 'Great Lord's Capital Management', 'Monsra Rice Small Loan Finance'...... and countless other companies.
Even the lord himself didn't count how many there were for a while......
Anyway, almost all industry types are covered.
Mai Xiangling came out of the stall market, and the company's signboard was nailed all over the door panels, but there was really no place to nail it, and the sign of "Lame Hao Food World" was nailed to the door of the stable, and the "Teddy's Mystical Perfume Industry" was nailed next to the toilet.
These are all jointly funded by businessmen and 'Maixiang Industry Group', and all of them are 'subsidiaries of the group company'......
The reason why this is so is because the lord announced to the merchants—
"All the subordinate enterprises of Maixiang Industry Group do not need to pay commercial tax in Maixiangling! You don't have to pay a single one! ”
Of course, if someone wants to rent a shop and get an office or something, they still have to pay for it......
The lord deliberately planned such a large area of open space for the market, which was used for rent......
Sarah became the legal person, chairman, executive director, and general manager of twelve companies overnight......
And Leslie has more to name, with a full eighteen companies.
Anson, a cultural person, also has nine under his name.
The workers with names and surnames in the territory are now basically senior cadres above the general manager, and each of them has a feeling of glorifying their ancestors......
Even Drash, who feeds the horses, has a livestock company in his name - of course, the actual manager of the company is Leon himself, and the horses are very valuable......
The only one who does not have a company under his name is Li Ang himself......
Unscrupulous bosses are very risk-averse......
The lord used a sealed contract, and he 'co-financed' and 'jointly ventured' with the merchants, and he had a share of each company, which was not much, ranging from 51% to 80%......
Moreover, when he collected the 'co-financing' money paid by the merchants, he put out a room of gold coins and showed them there, saying that he had too many gold coins, and in order to avoid inconvenience in turnover, he asked the merchants to contribute all the money with silver coins......
- Merchants are actually happy to use silver coins, and they are more likely to have Dirkhan in their hands, after all, their usual customers are more likely to use silver coins Dirkhan.
The reason why the merchants were so enthusiastic was because the lord preached a truth to the merchants - war means wealth!
Leon put it this way: "The kingdom is at war with the Bacchus Empire, and this is a good opportunity to make a fortune!" ”
"Think about it, the kingdom has been hostile to the Bacchus Empire for many years, and the trade routes between the north and the south have been cut off for decades. There were so many silks, spices, medicines, and crafts in the south that could not be sold in the kingdom, and neither could the horses, furs, weapons, and daily necessities produced in the kingdom......"
"Think about it, if you can trade the first batch of Bacchus empires on a large scale, this profit ......"
The merchants naturally knew this reality, because the two countries had been hostile for decades, in the past, as long as their caravans entered the territory of the Bacchus Empire, there was a high probability that they would be robbed by the lords of the Bacchus Empire or bandits such as the Serpent Cult.
Occasionally, those who managed to return did not make much profit - small caravans were often disqualified from bargaining in hostile countries, so they would not go and would not dare to do business in hostile countries unless they had to.
If it were really a large-scale first batch to enter the Bacchus Empire, of course, there would be huge profits, but the question was whether it would work?
Therefore, the merchants also quickly raised questions: "If the two countries fight a big war, there will be no peace everywhere." Not to mention the Bacchus Empire, even the kingdom territory has many bandits, if there is no army to protect the crossing, isn't it just a group to deliver takeaways? ”
Leon laughed heroically: "Look at these Metenheim hunks, look at these horns to summon rangers!" These are all strong soldiers in the entire continent! Coupled with dozens of elite cavalry and so many elite archers, isn't it enough to protect your caravan? ”
There were more than forty Cato horses in the stables, and all of them were indeed fine war horses.
Twenty of them were indeed dressed in the armor provided by Ralph, and the crossbowmen stood nearby in Ranger gear - but they were all pretending, and the men did not know how to ride at all, and the best of them was Eric, who could barely keep the horses from falling off while jogging.
But it does look like the Horn Rangers, and the sheer size of the Mettenheim hunk is convincing.
Coupled with the leaders who wore chain mail and carried nomadic bows to make up the number of people, it seems that the military strength of this small broken village is more than 100 people, and it seems that all of them are elite soldiers!
But there are still businessmen who are uneasy: "But my lord, your ability to lead the ...... I'm sorry, my lord, but I didn't doubt you......"
Leon began to get angry: "Hum hum! Lord Ben is the one who has defeated the army of Cato, look at the warlord of Cato over there, that is Lord Ben's captive! Now they are all obediently the grooms of Lord Ben! Besides, Lord Godric, you always know each other, right? Why do you think a famous man like him calls me 'chairman'? He will be with us! ”
The merchants whispered to each other: "Master Godric's combat effectiveness is naturally needless to say, but he seems to only defend and never attack...... It is estimated that the level of conquering the city may not be very high......"
At this time, Leon took out the letter from Count Auden: "Open your dog's eyes and take a good look, even the world's famous general, Count Auden, will ask Lord Ben to help him suppress bandits!" What else do you have to worry about! ”
Count Auden's name was still very good in Changhe Town, and as the lord of the kingdom who had been the best at expanding territory in recent decades, the merchants were immediately convinced when they saw the letter and the double lion coat of arms on it.
So, from the day after the merchants returned to Changhe Town, one caravan after another drove to the small Mai Xiangling, waiting for this 'good opportunity to make a fortune'.
Just a few days later, there was another warehouse of silver coins in the territory.
The merchants kept pulling them in wagons, and Leon said that he was 'full of newcomer partners', and did not count the money—mainly because he could not count them, and the silver coins were enough to bury all of Leon's men......
Godric, who was reluctant to deal with businessmen before, immediately sent someone Pegasus to deliver a message after hearing about Leon's 'whole industry platform' the next day.
The letter was full of concern: "Your Excellency Baron Leon, does your territory need to be verified before the war?" The times on the eastern border of the kingdom are difficult, and I hope that your Excellency will take care of your health and bring long-term well-being to your people......".
Li Ang replied: "Don't make trouble, 10%, say okay." ”
Godric wrote back: "Help you to regularize, allow you to mobilize my garrison to protect the caravan." ”
Li Ang replied: "12%, don't do it." ”
Godric wrote back: "Deal." ”
