Chapter 135: Zidlin, who is a step late
Jingming really kept his word, and three days later, he asked people to send the trademark of Blue Ocean Mall and the packaging of each cigarette box.
Xu Kuang handed it over to the printing factory, but once again encountered an embarrassing problem.
The logo is too complicated, and the quality of the paper used in the printing factory is too poor, and it takes less than half a minute to print, and all the dough on the paper is sloppy.
Xu Kuang's brows furrowed slightly, but he quickly thought of a solution.
Who let him have a system mall, he exchanged several paper-making techniques quite heartbrokenly, and once again squandered the exchange points in his hand.
He picked the most suitable technology for the moment and handed it to the paper mill.
This paper mill was originally established by Xu Kuang, because if you just rely on buying paper sold by merchants, the annual cost will be sky-high.
The problem of the ink was solved, and the factory began to enter production again.
……
At this moment, an uninvited guest still came here.
It was the representative of the third son of Duke Goa.
It may be a bit strange to say this, Duke Goya has many sons, and the third son is responsible for making money for him and is quite trusted by him, and it is the representative of the third son who came to Sword Lan City this time.
As soon as the representative came here, he saw Jing Xi and Jing Ming, and his momentum weakened suddenly.
He hurriedly stepped forward and asked:
"I wonder why you two are here?".
Jing Ming and Jing Xi glanced at each other, and Jing Ming said:
"We have been business partners with Viscount Xu Kuang for many years, when he was still a baron, we communicated with each other and traded, this time we came to win the tobacco franchise in the south region, Deacon Zidelin, I advise you to hurry up and take down the tobacco franchise in the southeast region, otherwise, your hands will be slow."
Deacon Zidling was stunned for a moment, and he asked:
"What is a tobacco franchise?".
Jing Ming smiled:
"Except for the cigarettes sold by the mercenary union, the rest of the market is yours."
Zidling asked:
"How many cigarettes did you buy this time?"
Jing Ming smiled:
"It's not much, just a million boxes, and he won't be able to make it for the time being, and besides, you can provide him with tobacco, and you can exchange tobacco for cigarettes with him, isn't it a good thing."
When Qi Delin heard this, his heart was half cold, he didn't expect this Xu Kuang to be so astute, knowing that his business would be targeted sooner or later, he actually found another duke to partner.
Qi Delin understood that he probably couldn't take this tobacco business, even if he forcibly took it and then cooperated with the Blue Ocean Commercial Bank, it would not make much sense.
The market didn't have so much time for him to get familiar with the system of operating cigarette production, and there was not so much time for him to coerce Xu Kuang, he heard the meaning of Jing Ming's words, this transaction seemed to involve the mercenary chamber of commerce, no matter how powerful Duke Goya was, he couldn't offend the mercenary union, the largest group of professionals, so he could only swallow this breath.
Qi Delin squeezed out a smile and said to Jing Ming:
"Thank you Jing Gongzi for telling me, I will go and win the tobacco franchise as soon as possible."
Zidlin now wants to gain as much advantage as possible in the battle for the franchise.
Before he came, he heard that Xu Kuang was quite appreciated by the king, and as a viscount, he actually had the treatment of an earl, and now it seems that this Xu Kuang is probably more troublesome than he imagined.
Qi Delin threw a prayer post and saw Xu Kuang.
He communicated cordially with Xu Kuang, but in the end he still failed to make any money.
Before leaving, Xu Kuang also sold him some weapons.
Although he looked at those weapons with hot eyes, he was not Jingming and Jingxi, and he didn't have so much power to mobilize such a huge amount of money to buy these, so he could only mention it to his third son.
After Xu Kuang sent Qi Delin away, he also laughed.
If the most troublesome problem is solved, then he will have more advantages.
The eight dukes of the empire, each guarding eight directions, the two dukes in the southwest and due south have been settled, and there are only six dukes left, but this is a matter for the future, but dealing with the cigarette business of these two dukes and the mercenary union has already made him anxious.
If nothing else, Wayne alone has made millions of gold coins from the tobacco business in the past few months, so you can imagine how crazy this business is.
Now a new problem appears on Xu Kuang's body, if it continues like this, the gold coins in his hand will accumulate more and more, but this is not what he wants, no matter how much money there is, it is just a bunch of gold coins, what he wants is to let Mushroom Ridge develop rapidly.
He could only find the Marquis to buy people again, and it just so happened that the ship carrying the 100,000 literate homeless people was about to arrive today, more than three months later than the ship that transported the million homeless people.
Although Xu Kuang hated the business of buying and selling human beings, this matter could not be forbidden by his deep hatred alone, unless he could conquer this kingdom, but this was not too realistic, so Xu Kuang just thought about this matter in his heart.
A group of literate homeless people in ragged clothes walked down, and these 100,000 people came all the way, and except for more than 1,000 people who died of illness on the way, no one starved to death, which shows how much the Marquis attached to them.
Xu Kuang placed another order for a million illiterate homeless, and the leader was ecstatic to start the return journey with a deposit.
This time, Xu Kuang, Zhuge Duan, Ryan, and Hathaway personally picked up the people, and quickly dispersed these homeless people to various places, and a literate homeless person was mixed in with more than a dozen people, resolutely not allowing them to have the possibility of getting together.
There was no civil uprising, and several people were relieved.
Xu Kuang said to Hathaway:
"This period of time may be hard for you, literate people always understand some reason than illiterate people, you just pay attention to one thing, quickly give them on-the-job training, let them start working quickly, and when they get paid, they can live a little in peace."
Hathaway nodded and said to Xu Kuang:
"I suggest giving them food in the first month, and then gold coins from the second month, what do you think?".
Xu Kuang was quite happy to hear Hathaway's suggestion.
Xu Kuang couldn't help but sigh after looking at Hathaway's recent policy.
This girl is too bold, in order to increase the fertility rate in Jianlan City, she directly opened a policy of giving one gold coin a month for giving birth to a child, and also cooperated with the Ministry of Education to open a lot of full-day nursery classes, which can make parents worry-free.
A set of combination punches knocked the homeless people to the point that they couldn't find the north, and the newborns in Mushroom Ridge began to gradually increase, and many homeless people also lived and worked in peace.
Xu Kuang said to Hathaway:
"You're doing a good job, you're great.".
Hathaway just smiled and said to Xu Kuang:
"Xu Kuang, did you realize how powerful I am?"
