Chapter 514: Happy Winter
Chapter 510 [**Him]
This fat man who spoke first was actually a representative of the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce, and it was said that he was still a little related to the fat man in Angulo. For Chen Daolin, it can be regarded as his own family. The question raised by this fat man today is also the biggest question in everyone's hearts at the moment, but in fact, Chen Daolin deliberately asked him to say it.
Since this kind of problem cannot be avoided, it is better to let others ask questions, at least to avoid some deliberate difficulties and harsh criticism.
"Good question, brother from the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce!"
Chen Daolin praised him with a smile, and then pressed his hands down slightly, and suddenly everyone in the audience felt a cool and comfortable feeling invisibly washed over their bodies!
It's a magical meditation technique!
The people of these chambers of commerce have all traveled from south to north and seen the world, but they are not those turtles. Naturally, I knew that this was the feeling of magic! Many people's hearts suddenly froze, and they reacted: The person standing on it is not the one who makes everyone laugh at random, this is a magician!
And...... It is said that he is still a magician who makes Emperor Shiloh helpless! A magician who is close to the Tulip family, the Liszt family!
The crowd soon fell silent.
"Then let me answer the question of this gentleman from the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce. ”
Chen Daolin smiled slightly: "First, of course I have to make it clear." All these fortresses belong to the empire, not my private property, and of course I am not qualified to sell these fortresses directly. ”
When he said this, many people's faces showed the expression of expectation—even if you were a magician, it was impossible for you to openly sell the military fortress of the empire to private individuals. After all, no one dares to do such a daring thing.
"Still. Chen Daolin's tone suddenly changed: "The so-called 'selling' is just a way of saying. I think most of you have dealt with that General Sylvester before, right?"
Many of the people below lowered their heads and looked at each other.
"You used to pay for Sylvester...... Isn't it just to buy this trade route to the north that he Sylvester guarded? The so-called money for buying the road! But everyone, did he Sylvester build this road himself? Of course not, this road is also owned by the Empire! At that time, how could he Sylvester take out these roads and sell them to everyone?"
No one spoke. But many people showed disapproving expressions on their faces.
Buying road money also depends on whether you are qualified or not, right? Sylvester has tens of thousands of elite soldiers. Even if you are a magician, no matter how strong your personal strength is, you can't conjure up tens of thousands of troops, right?
"Of course, don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to get you to pay for this road to give me Darling Chen. I don't want to make everybody's money this way, so what's the difference between that and blackmail? I think we're all fed up with that Sylvester guy. Chen Daolin said with a smile.
At this time, a representative of the Liszt family, who had been arranged in advance, spoke.
"Master Darling, just say it directly, don't sell it anymore. What is the plan you are talking about to sell the fortress wealth? We businessmen don't care about anything else, we only care about two things, one is to make money, and the other is to take risks! If these two things are okay, you can guarantee it. Even if you sell the palace, we have people who dare to take over!"
The people below couldn't help but laugh.
Yes, as long as you can handle it, and you don't have trouble afterwards after buying something...... Not to mention the Northwest Fortress, even if it is a palace, what is there that you dare not buy?!
"Good. Then I'll talk to you about it!" Chen Daolin seemed to be shocked, he actually folded his sleeves, laughed a few times, and then began to preach:
"Ladies and gentlemen, what is the most important thing about this border trade? Some say it's a trade route? Some say it's a relationship? Some say it's smuggling?
What is the most profitable business in the world?
Monopolize!
The so-called monopoly is to see that a business can make money, but only you can do this business, and no one else can follow suit, and you can't snatch it, so you can only watch you do it alone and make as much money as you want!
Think about it, how happy is this kind of business?"
The following representatives of the merchant group who specialize in munitions supply to the army couldn't help but show a smile of deep sympathy on their faces -- the most important thing to do is to supply military supplies to the army, but it is necessary to have a strong enough background and way to let their goods be underwritten by the army.
This business, to put it bluntly, is also a kind of monopoly: a monopoly of privilege.
Other chambers of commerce, even if your stuff is cheaper and of better quality...... That's useless too!
"All of you here are the heroes of the western part of the empire. But just imagine, how many chambers of commerce and trade groups are there in the northwest of the whole empire? large and small nobles? how many are there in the whole west? how many are there in the whole empire?!
Even if they belong to the same chamber of commerce group, there is competition between regions! This business can be done by the branch in the northwest region, but not by the branches in the east and south! Isn't it also a very cool thing?
The meaning of what I want to say today is very simple: Monopoly! Only by monopolizing a profitable business and firmly grasping it in our own hands can others only stand aside and watch, but they cannot get involved!
That's a monopoly!"
Chen Daolin smiled.
Of course, from an economic point of view, the concept of monopoly is by no means so simple and one-sided.
However, such a little statement is enough to encourage these Roland merchants.
"This northwest fortress goes out to the north, and it is the territory of the orcs!
They lack everything! Food, drink, and clothing! Almost as long as our Roland Empire has it, even if it is a needle to take to the orc kingdom, it can make those guys drool! This is our advantage here! It is the wealth that our ancestors laid down for us more than a hundred years ago!
This is the capital that we Roland people ride on the necks of those orcs to earn their gold and magic cores!"
Many businessmen smiled knowingly.
Everyone has done the smuggling trade, and trading with orcs is indeed a good thing.
The orcs really lack everything. Food, clothing, shelter and transportation are almost scarce.
The orcs, on the other hand, are next to the Kilimaro Mountains, which are rich in gold and minerals, but the Rolands cannot touch them, and only the orcs and dwarves occupy them.
In addition, in the vast frozen forest, almost the entire Big 6 and ninety percent of the demonic beasts inhabit there. Warcraft itself is a treasure!
However, those territories are also occupied by these alien races. Now in the Roland Empire, a piece of the magic core of a mid-level demonic beast can be sold for a sky-high price!
And with the orcs, a piece of magic core, I'm afraid that it can be exchanged for a few barrels of ale!!
Chen Daolin continued: "The empire forbade trading with the orcs for fear of making enemies. Of course, we don't do this kind of enemy thing. Therefore, these iron tools, weapons and equipment and other things will never be allowed to be trafficked out here in the Northwest Fortress. But beyond that...... I would like to say that there are no other prohibitions in my case. ”
Speaking of this, Chen Daolin smiled and said, "Anyway, now the Northwest Fortress is in my hands!"
This is inevitably a bit of a red fruit.
But Chen Daolin didn't care, and neither did these businessmen here...... Everyone has done smuggling...... What is that?
"I'll say it again! What are these thirty-two forts that I marked on the map today? These are the trade routes I'm going to sell everybody! Listen, everyone! I, Darling Chen, I don't intend to take the clearance of the Northwest Fortress into my own hands! I don't intend to sit on the ground and buy road money like Sylvester did in the past!
And I, on the other hand, have divided the customs clearance trade of this northwest fortress into these thirty-two forts, and divided them into thirty-two parts, and now I will take them out and distribute them to all of you! In the future, this trade route will be owned by the thirty-two families! But you remember...... There are only these thirty-two! apart from these thirty-two...... The others, not even a bag of flour, don't even think of transporting them out of my Northwest Fortress!"
Having said that, the vibration below is even greater!
"In other words, I have divided the business of this Northwest Fortress trade into thirty-two parts! In the future, except for these thirty-two, no one else wants to make money from this Northwest Trade!
Can you imagine...... How many chambers of commerce are there in the entire empire? There are hundreds of them, big and small! How many nobles are there in the entire empire? There are always a hundred and ten families who have names and surnames that can be pulled out to do business!
But how much money can be earned every year from the border trade of this northwest fortress?
My meaning is very clear! In the future, this business can only be played by those who participate today!
Others...... If someone comes to grab food!Our thirty-two families, let's ** him together!!"
In the end, some of the merchants below thought of the amount of profit that could be earned by the trade in the Northwest Fortress every year, and thought that once the monopoly was completed, there would be no more competitors of all sizes to compete, and the profit margin would naturally increase greatly......
Hearing Chen Daolin's last sentence, some people couldn't help but raise their fists and shouted: "Yes!!**him!!"
"yes! rob us of our money, just ** him!!"
Looking at these businessmen at this moment, a vicious green light appeared in their eyes, like wolves!
