Chapter 171 Overseas Overview (2nd Update)
After three months, when he saw Lunn again, Luo Yin couldn't believe his eyes.
"What are you...... Where did you go to war?"
At this time, Lunen's clothes were tattered, his hair was messy, his face was full of dust, and he was carrying a long-barreled musket on his back, and Luo Yin could smell the surging smell of gunpowder from him.
Lunn didn't bother to talk to Luo Yin, he gulped down the food in front of him, like a starving ghost reincarnated.
More than twenty minutes later, Lunn burped:
"The food in this restaurant you opened is really good!"
"If you like to eat, eat more, and I won't charge you money."
Luo Yin joked.
"If you don't eat it, you won't eat it, and if you eat it again, there will be a problem!"
Looking at the remaining food on the table, Lunn was a little reluctant, but he knew that he couldn't eat too much if he was hungry for too long.
Lying comfortably on the chair, Lunn said helplessly:
"Well, you don't know how hard it is for me to run this trip outside! I almost couldn't come back......
Listening to Lun En's babbling words, the expression on Luo Yin's face became more and more exciting......
Simun, separated from the United Kingdom of Stokato, is a largely unexplored continent.
The island of Smun is divided into North Smun and South Smun. Not to mention North Simon, the terrain there is treacherous, and there are natural barriers to block it, and it is difficult to pass. The people inside also do not communicate with the outside world, and there is very little news from North Simon.
Nansmeng Continent is close to the sea, so there is basically no obstruction, and it is easy to go up.
From ancient times to the present, unexplored land has always been a symbol of wealth. Nansmon is no exception.
Since the discovery of Nansmon, more and more people and forces have set foot in Nansmon. There are speculative traders, there are gold diggers who want to get rich overnight, and there are filthy slave traders...... Lunn is a speculative businessman.
And among these forces, the strongest and most powerful are naturally the warlords and colonizers!
Others want to see if there are any opportunities to make money here, and these colonists want to turn this place into their own backyard.
Since there is colonization, there is naturally anti-colonialism. There is nothing to say about the two sides, just do it when they meet. The natives of Nansmonzhou are not weak, most of them are orcs and dwarves here, and their combat effectiveness is extremely strong, you may not be able to beat others with a gun, and the dwarves' forging ability is not bad, and it is easy for people to make guns.
In addition, there are also various conflicts between the colonizers, and they are not monolithic. So Nansmon is a very messy place.
Their Haihui trading company, or most of the companies, pay attention to stability, and try to choose a stable place to do business.
In Nansmon, the Haihui trade only traded in those occupied places where there was an owner. It's nothing more than paying some more taxes. If you have less money, you can earn more, and if you don't have your life, you will have nothing.
Lunn had been lucky to Tudogan in Nansmon a few times before, and he didn't run around, so he didn't encounter any major wars.
But this time it was different, in addition to talking about the sugar cane business, he also went to talk about cotton. The cotton was produced far from the sugar cane plantations, and it belonged to different colonists, and he was careful along the way, for fear of accidentally offending one of the elders.
Before, it was okay, from talking about cotton to transporting cotton to Qiongbi City, nothing happened in between.
But then there was some bad luck - there were two colonists fighting!
That's not all, maybe the natives saw the opportunity to counterattack and joined in, and there was a three-way melee, and the whole Tudogan was in chaos.
This brought ruin to them as businessmen. The war is ruthless, and if it really starts, it doesn't matter if you have money or not, I will give you a bullet when we meet.
As for you saying that you are not a hostile force, just a small businessman? But who cares so much! What we pay attention to now is that we are the first to strike, and hesitation will be fatal.
Fortunately, Lunn is a burly orc with a lot of physical strength. In addition, he is away all year round and has a lot of experience. did not fall into the whirlpool of melee, hid by himself, and secretly finally left Nansi Monzhou.
But even if he didn't encounter the regular army, his journey was not easy. There are countless kinds of robbery, petty theft, and abduction.
If it weren't for his experience, he wouldn't have come back.
"You...... Awesome!"
Luo Yin gave Luo Yin a thumbs up.
He had to admit that Lunn was really strong in this regard! Lunn may not be as good as himself in terms of business acumen, but he belongs to stand on the shoulders of giants. If he encountered such a chaotic scene, Luo Yin estimated that he might disappear in the blink of an eye.
"Alas......
Lunn sighed, who would want to be in that kind of place if it weren't for the sake of earning some hardship.
"But I didn't expect it to be so messy outside......
Luo Yin opened his mouth in some surprise.
He had been to two places in his life, one was the Keith Empire and the other was the United Kingdom of Stokato.
The Keith Empire is a very powerful coastal empire, and he doesn't know what to do outside, but it's basically peaceful inside.
The United Kingdom of Stokato, on the other hand, is very remote and has few resources, and is one of those species that is not easily conceived. After staying in Qiongbi City for so long, Luo Yin didn't find or hear about any armed conflicts in the kingdom.
This gave him the illusion that it was now a peaceful and prosperous time.
But Lunn used his personal experience to tell Luo Yin that it was chaotic outside.
"It's chaotic, but it's also an opportunity!"
Perhaps it was because he had eaten and drunk enough, the tired color on Lunn's face dissipated, and he looked at Luo Yin with blazing eyes.
"How?"
Luo Yin asked curiously. Of course he knew it was an opportunity, but he didn't know much about the specifics.
"Do you know how much people can earn by buying a ton of cotton worth 5,000 coins?"
"How much?"
"Four thousand, they can earn four thousand for a ton of cotton! That's what I said when I was drinking with someone from Yunjin Mining Company before......
"Shhh
Luo Yin gasped.
1,000 earn 4,000, 300% profit!
How much does he earn! A ton of cotton is 5,000 yuan, and after trying to avoid some taxes, you can earn about 12,000, which is only 240% of the profit margin. It's a long way from 300%!
Luo Yin is very sad, he has worked hard for so long, and he is not as good as others!
"Oh yes, they pay very little or no taxes."
Lunn added.
「……」
Luo Yin was even more sad.
Sure enough, doing this business by yourself is a small fight, and it is really profitable, and it has to be these colonists!
"Think about it, if you could get cotton for a thousand, how much would you earn?"
Lunn suddenly bewitched.
1000% profit, or 2000% profit? Luo Yin didn't dare to think about it, he was afraid of daydreaming.
"What do you mean?"
Lunn rubbed his hands together.
"I'm going to set up a trading company, but I'm short of money, are you interested in buying shares?"
