85_85536After this, the merchant John asked a lot of things excitedly. There are some things that William has already thought about. Some of them were not considered by William before.

This also surprised William. The profession of John the merchant was also recognized...... Maybe this person's mouth is a little worse than his bargaining ability. The guts are not very big either.

And the people are sophisticated, and the attributes such as the city government are not very high. However, for business operations, the grasp of business is very high. In addition, the fact that he was able to think of ways to support the army and promote commerce through war also proved that this man's brain was very useful.

There is such a small courage, and there is not much benefit to compete for. At the same time, a good helper, or partner William, will naturally feel very happy.

"Do you think this plan will succeed, then?" asked William.

"Of course, of course. It's not just going to be successful. If it works well, then it will definitely be a great success. "John the Merchant, just as William thought, did not think clearly about the meaning of William's words at the first time.

"Well, yes, yes. But the problem is that we don't have the money, the raw materials and the manpower to build this series of buildings. In addition, we have no way to reach out to all kinds of businessmen and convince them that our plan is all true. Is this ...... Of course, that's all your problem. ”

"Ah, yes. Manpower, materials, money, and channels......" Merchant John repeated the key words mentioned in William's words just now. Then he came back to his senses.

Yes, yes, as Father Peter said before. The Circassian county really did not have enough resources to complete this "grandiose" plan of William.

Or, if this was done with the power of the Circassian County alone, it would have taken a lot of time and effort to build. And William naturally couldn't and wouldn't be willing to wait so long.

Therefore, if William wants to implement this plan in a short period of time, then he must rely on the strength of others.

That is, John the Merchant...... Or rather, the plan of the Blue Hat Merchant Group.

It should be noted here that the energy of the Blue Hat Merchant Group in Polotsk in the North is very good.

Based on Polotsk, the range of activities of the merchant group can cover the coast of the Polotsk Sea, as well as the northeastern region of the Old World, the Novgorod Republic, the Kingdom of Ruthenia, the Kingdom of Wend, the Tartariya Khanate, the Kingdom of Rytyod, many city-states of the northern dwarves, and even the distant Ottoman Empire.

So, although the merchant group had no territory, there was no title of nobility that would be convincing to the world. But it's really, really powerful.

If the big boss of the merchant group is willing to fight hard, the number of troops he can pull up is definitely much more than William's.

In Polotsk, in Novgorod, in the Ostrogothic Empire, there were huge contingents of mercenaries, and the Freikorps were willing to take his money to go to war. Pulling out thirty or fifty thousand mercenary troops who are neatly equipped, well-trained and have enough real combat experience can be said to have almost no problems.

So in the face of such a behemoth, why didn't William feel afraid. Instead, can he take advantage of it? He is not afraid, the other party learns his method, and then leaves him alone?

After all, the power of the Blue Hat Merchant Group is very large, and the Blue Hat Merchant Group wants to be familiar with it and cooperate more deeply. At the same time, his status is higher than William's. The geographical location of the territory, the convenience of transportation, is better than that of Circassians, not for nothing. It could even be said a lot. A lot.

Why wouldn't the Blue Hat Merchant Group do this? Or did William decide that the Blue Hat Merchant would not do this?

There are many reasons and reasons for this. For example, the Blue Hat Merchant Group would not casually offend a promising nobleman. Merchants pay attention to harmony and wealth. And in addition to that, the merchants and the aristocracy, those are two different groups. There may be conflicts within the group. But if we talk about people who collude with another group, it's a different matter.

If the Blue Hat Merchant Group really did this, it would offend William ruthlessly. In addition, if William publicized this matter, then the Blue Hat Merchant Group was likely to be suppressed and hostile to the aristocratic group.

After all, in this era, the power of the aristocratic groups on the continent is still very strong. Moreover, through guò marriage alliances. The vast majority of the nobles of the entire continent were connected to each other in some way or another.

Under such circumstances, the Blue Hat Merchant Group would never have done such a thing if it did not have absolute interests.

Because although the merchant group is very strong. But it's not the only option.

The merchant group also has other competitors. And when the merchant group competes with competitors for their potential customers. Their competitors publicized what the Blue Hat Merchant Group had done.

That is, before that, which nobleman he cheated was Wilhelm von Hereford. He is not honest, if you choose to cooperate with him, you are not afraid of being cheated by him?

In this case, anyone will weigh it in their hearts - it doesn't matter if they deceive the civilians. But to deceive the nobles, this is a big matter. This will definitely cause the blue hat business group to lose a lot of potential customers. And now some of these customers will definitely hesitate, afraid of being deceived, so they consider refusing to continue to cooperate with the business group.

So, although William has drawn a very, very little blueprint. But it's just a blueprint. It's not a tangible benefit. For the sake of a pie, to bear such a big risk of default, the blue hat business group will definitely not do it.

Take a step back. Even if these guys really want to. William also dared to guarantee that they would never find anyone willing to cooperate with them for a while.

In this era, although the pulse of ideas has begun to shift, new ideas, new religious beliefs, new scientific knowledge are flourishing.

But most of the time, it is still ignorance, backwardness and superstition that rule the world. It would be extremely difficult to find in a short period of time a man like William, who knew modern economics and trade, especially a nobleman.

William believed that if John the Merchant really took his plan like an idiot and went to the other nobles to cooperate. Then the vast majority of the nobles, when they saw the phrase "tax relief," would have smacked him in the face -- how is this possible? Let them take money from the merchants. But if they want to cut taxes on merchants, they are crazy and will never do it.

That's it, that's it. There are so many reasons to be at the bottom, although it cannot be said to be foolproof, but it can also be said that there is a 99% guarantee. William, of course, didn't need to be too afraid.

Or if this businessman John really dares to play with himself, then he shouldn't be too sad. Find a chance to chop him up.

Now William already has the strength of a real knight. In addition, his family's swordsmanship is considered to be the best in the world, even if he goes head-to-head with a weaker big knight, he will not necessarily lose.

And now he's only sixteen. It can be said that the future is promising...... If the businessman John really dares to play tricks, then do you want to have his own head?

What William could figure out, merchant John could naturally figure it out. So that's "I'm going to go." Regardless of this", the thought just rose up, and was directly extinguished by him.

And in addition to these reasons that William had in mind, there was another reason that William did not think of - or rather, this reason was really difficult for William himself to say as a party.

That is, the businessman John was optimistic about William's future - if this sixteen-year-old boy could give himself such a big surprise and benefit, then he would naturally have other benefits for himself.

That's it. After thinking about this, merchant John nodded. I decided to get involved in this project.

"I'll figure it out to me!" said John the Merchant, after he had figured it out, and assured William with a pat on his chest:

"Whether it's the building materials, the construction team, I can get in touch with them. Merely...... What ...... man?" said this, merchant John hesitated.

After all, if such a project wants to be completed quickly, it will require at least a few thousand laborers. And these thousands of laborers naturally have to be recruited locally. But now is the time for spring ploughing, and I am afraid that the labor force in the field will not be able to be extracted.

"That's fine. William laughed and said, "The labor thing is not a problem. ”

"Oh, that's good, that's good. Merchant John nodded. Then he asked, "So, that one...... The distribution of this profit...... What ......"

"Of course, this business district belongs to Circassians. William said, "Of course you, I will not treat you badly." Materials, I'll give you the money for the construction team. ”

"Ah, but what ......," John the Merchant was a little upset. Could it be that he has been busy enough to make a hard-earned profit? If so, where can't he earn it?

"And what do you want?" said William with a smile, "or do you want to get this business district into your hands?"

Hearing William Pi say such a thing without smiling, the merchant John hurriedly shook his head - if it was an ordinary stupid nobleman, he would naturally say how much money I give you every year, and then you can just run this thing for me. If you say this and that, then I'll just say you don't understand.

But not with William. William is not. William, he understands these things, and he can't fool him.......
