Chapter 139: New Ideas

"At the moment, the situation in our chamber of commerce is a little bit worse." Scam said directly.

"A little bad?" Ye Junwen asked.

"Yes, now the Chamber of Commerce's liabilities have reached a peak."

Scam's side also immediately told Ye Junwen about the situation, and the main reason was the civil war. As I said before, the recent income and expenditure of the Taken Chamber of Commerce itself is in deficit, and after Ye Junwen took over, he didn't give them any funds for development, but just gave them a little fresh goods for them to sell.

However, in the current situation, the first batch of goods was snatched away by the Eighth Prince, and although they agreed to return it to the present, the goods are still in the main city, and the main city is now beaten, and it is currently impossible to enter. As for the second batch of goods, they are still in the hands of Scam, which is really impossible to get out, their audience is nobles and big merchants, and now the attention of these people is on the civil war, and no one still has the luxury of airpipe seasonings and perfumes, so they can't ship at all.

If you can't ship the goods, of course, there will be no money coming in, and the money going out will soar. The main reason is Ye Junwen, he asked Scam to produce pet grooming pills, which of course has to be invested. The main input is to find an alchemist, because there are a lot of people needed, so Scam also contacted the Alchemist Association here, and they sent a large number of people there, although the technical content of this pill is not high, the alchemy apprentices can do it, but the number of people needed is large, so of course the cost is also very high.

Not to mention other raw materials and the like, of course, they all ask for money, so the current situation is that the Takken Chamber of Commerce has been spending and has no income, which has led to the fact that the debt of the Chamber of Commerce has reached its peak, and it is basically impossible to lend money now.

However, Ye Junwen also has benefits, mainly because Ye Junwen's status is now rising, and he is already the duke of the empire, and this status allows the Taken Chamber of Commerce to borrow more money, that is, to rely on a support, so the Taken Chamber of Commerce is still developing recently, otherwise it is estimated that the Chamber of Commerce will be bankrupt by now.

Having said that, the current situation is not optimistic, although Ye Junwen's status has been borrowed more, but now it has reached the limit, because the current civil war situation is unknown, although Ye Junwen is a duke, but what about after the war? In case the eldest prince's side wins, what will happen to this duke who took the lead in fighting against him. If Ye Junwen is killed after the war, who will pay back their money, so although some people are willing to invest, there are still many people who are unwilling to borrow, and it is indeed impossible to borrow it at present.

"In other words, if we can't sell our stuff, we're going to go bankrupt?" Ye Junwen said.

"Yes, sir." Scam said, "The subordinates are guilty. ”

"I don't blame you for that." Ye Junwen nodded, "I didn't consider that there would be a civil war when I chose the goods at that time, so let's think about how to deal with it." ”

"Judging from the current situation, even if the civil war is over, it will take some time for our goods to be sold." Scam said.

Ye Junwen nodded, after the civil war, whether it is a victory over there, it will be a big loss of vitality, and their goods are not necessities, if they want to sell it, it is still more troublesome. After thinking about it, Ye Junwen said, "Can you trade with the other two countries?" ”

Yes, there are a total of three empires on the Terran side, and if they can't be sold here, Ye Junwen wondered if he could trade with people from other two countries.

"If you make a deal with other two countries at this time, it may cause trouble." "The main thing is that our chamber of commerce has no previous experience in dealing with chambers of commerce in other countries......

Ye Junwen nodded, trading with people from other countries would indeed cause suspicion, not to mention that he was still a duke who had just been promoted. However, Ye Junwen was not very worried about this, after thinking about it, Ye Junwen said: "With the contact with other national chambers of commerce, you can find someone to try, and you don't have to worry about any trouble." ”

"Yes." Although Scam felt that there was a bit of a problem, since Ye Junwen said so, of course he could only obey the order.

"But far water can't save near fire." Ye Junwen said, "Even if we get in touch with the chambers of commerce of other countries, we are still in danger of bankruptcy in the current situation, right?" ”

"Yes, sir." Scam nodded, "Even if we get in touch with the chambers of commerce of other countries, it will take some time to talk, and our current situation is indeed very dangerous." ”

"Then you can only rely on the side of the Datang merchants, right?" Ye Junwen said, "If we can find goods that can be sold now, our funds can be returned immediately." ”

"That's a good idea, sir." Scam thinks so too, and this is the more reliable way to do it now.

"So...... What do you sell? Ye Junwen asked.

"At best, of course, it's still arms." Scam said, "However, Datang doesn't seem to be able to provide anything else, food and medicine......

It is true that the most scarce thing during the war is, of course, these things, but the problem is that grain and grass are really not easy to sell, Ye Junwen transported it this time, it is enough for more than 100,000 people to eat for 6 days, how much money can this make? Besides, the food shortage now is not those rich people at all, it is those civilians who have no food, and they not only have no food, but also no money, it is impossible to make money on them, what Ye Junwen needs is to make money on the army, simply put, to earn money from the treasury.

"Then it's just medicine, and if you show that pharmacist, maybe penicillin or something...... But ......" Ye Junwen already wants to cooperate with the previous pharmacist master to launch some new medicines and the like. However, the problem now is that, as far as we can see, the drugs don't sell very well here. The main situation is that the lives of the soldiers here are not valuable, and the important generals and non-commissioned officers and the like can directly let the pharmacist or priest treat the disease, and the soldiers here consume resources. If you really can't save it, you won't save it, and even if there is really medicine, it's too expensive for them to buy it for the soldiers to treat, isn't it a waste. Therefore, Ye Junwen felt that even if there was really medicine, it might not be able to sell it for any money.

"Arms ......" At this time, Ye Junwen suddenly thought about this side. I thought it was impossible to sell this kind of thing before, it was because he was born in Huaxia after all, this thing is absolutely forbidden in Huaxia, and it is impossible to buy it, but Huaxia can't buy it, you can buy it outside, Ye Junwen can't go out and buy it by himself. What's more, Ye Junwen happens to have such a path now.

This path is actually what he found recently, and that is the international security company that did business with them before. Yes, Ye Junwen's yellow wax medicine before, the other party's security company sent someone to see the effect, and he also did the experiment himself, of course, it was amazing. The effect of this thing is really terrifying, ordinary small injuries can be completely healed in a few seconds, is there a better field medicine than this?

Their security company has a lot of business, including protecting important missions or locations in dangerous areas, so the loss of personnel is a common occurrence. With this artifact, of course, it can reduce a lot of personnel losses, so of course they are willing to buy it, as for the price, Lin Yinbao's price is very exaggerated, but the other party doesn't care.

Let's not talk about the yellow wax medicine, let's talk about the way of arms. Although this international security company cannot approve guns in its business in China, in foreign countries, of course, their troops will use guns. In that dangerous area, you have to have guns, otherwise you can't let your men go up and fight people with knives against militants.

Although they didn't take the initiative to talk to Ye Junwen about it, Ye Junwen felt that they should have a way in this regard, and now that the two sides still have a trading relationship, they should be able to let the other party help pull a string or something. So Ye Junwen should be able to get arms now.

If you can get some munitions, it will of course be subversive to have this kind of thing in the area where you are fighting with cold weapons. Ye Junwen felt that not only the emperor here, but also people from other forces estimated that those who smashed pots and sold iron would also come to them to buy this thing. Just like the current situation, the main city is besieged, and if the emperor's Praetorian Guards each have a gun in their hands, what are they panicking, then can the emperor not buy it.

Thinking of this, Ye Junwen decided to engage in a batch of arms, and in the current situation, it should be more reliable than food and medicine.

"That, speaking of arms, the Tang businessmen told me about it a few days ago, and they seem to have such a batch of things recently." Ye Junwen said.

"Really? What kind of weapon is it? Saber? Or spears? Is it sharp? Scam immediately asked, now that there are few weapons everywhere, there is no place to buy them, so it is indeed easy to sell.

"It's not a sword or anything like that." Ye Junwen said, "Datang's weapons, those are all high-end goods. ”

"Huh? Is that...... Special weapons? For example, the kind of muskets used by the dwarves or something? Scam asked.

"Muskets? Is there such a thing here, too? Ye Junwen was slightly stunned. But after a little inquiry, I learned that the musket was just a primitive flintlock pistol and the like, which could only be produced by the dwarven Seiko blacksmiths, and the output was very small, and it was not exported, but there were people on the human side, but it was only used as decorations or collectibles, and it was not enough to equip the army in quantity.

"It's not that low-grade toy." After hearing this, Ye Junwen waved his hand and said, "It seems that I want you primitives to see the weapons of the Tang Dynasty." ”
