Master Tongtian

Chapter 297 Want to block me? ridiculous! (33)

Spacious and bright lord's study.

Rosen looked at the beautiful and shrewd female caravan manager and noticed a rare trace of anxiety on her delicate oval face that was always calm.

It seems that this time the matter is very big, and Candela can't settle it.

Seeing that she was a little restless, Rosen asked the attendant to make her a cup of fragrant tea and comforted her softly.

"Director Mona, as long as God is still in the sky, the sky in the Golden Land will not fall. Don't worry too much about the loss of some profits."

His calm demeanor infected Mona.

The female supervisor calmed down, reached out to take the fragrant tea from the attendant, and took a sip. Her mouth was full of fragrance and she felt much better.

Then she started talking about what happened.

"Baron, the impact of your mistake in casting this time is very big. It is acceptable in other places, but the attitude of Broken Leaf City has changed greatly."

Rosen's mind moved and he had already guessed: "Miss Mona, has Marquis Holonnier seized your cargo ship?"

Mona smiled bitterly and shook her head: "It was not deducted, but three times the transit tax was collected, which wiped out 80% of our profits in one go."

Businessmen make money by running ships. If they do this, they will all work for Suiye City.

Mona continued to explain the situation.

"The Marquis has a dock supervisor named Huo Ze who is looking for trouble for our cargo ships."

"We asked because of our connections. They said that the Marquis was very angry when he heard that you looked down on the people from the East, so he told you that as long as your goods are on the ship, he will charge heavy taxes and will never let you earn money from the East. Half a bit cheaper.”

When Rosen heard this, he knew that the Marquis was forcing himself to submit.

Why force it?

In all likelihood, it is to allow oneself to actively offer the principle of petrified architecture.

"Did the Marquis give any hint?"

"He said. He said unless you sincerely apologize for what you said."

"Hey~~ This old guy is really shameless. He wants to take advantage of me and even brought the entire Eastern Territory to block his gun."

Now even the princess couldn't say much.

Rosen had long expected that such a day would come, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly. He also felt that Marquis Hollennier was more greedy than he imagined.

When dealing with such a person, Rosen would not give in to his wishes.

Otherwise, you are just provoking a glutton who doesn't have enough to eat. The other party will definitely take advantage of you and ask him for money if you have any problem.

Seeing that Rosen was silent for a long time, Mona suggested softly: "How about you issue an apology statement to the Eastern Territory?"

As a businessman, as long as she can do business and make money, dignity and honor are not important.

Rosen chuckled: "Don't send it!"

"Not only do I refuse to give in, I also want him to come to my door and beg me to sell something!"

Without the Hanshui River channel, he would no longer do business in the Eastern Territory for the time being.

Ignoring Mona's disapproval, Rosen insisted: "After passing through Riverside Town, instead of going to the East Territory, take the canal to the Middle Territory and go to the imperial capital, Fort Romil."

"In addition to the Middle Territory, business can be done in the Highlands, Warm Wind Basin, and Winter City, right?"

Mona nodded: "It can be done, but the master does not have much power in these areas, and the income may not be one-third of what it is now."

Rosen could tolerate the income being less than one-third, but Candela would definitely not do it. After all, businessmen have no loyalty and are pursuing profit maximization.

But Rosen naturally has a way.

He asked: "What if I start selling mithril petrification staffs?"

Mona's eyes lit up: "The income will probably increase a lot, reaching half of what it is now."

"What about adding the petrifying potion?"

"The petrification potion is good, but it's not necessary. I'll probably add another 10%."

Rosen added: "I also plan to sell this and this."

He handed Mona the illustrated manuscript he had prepared.

"Optical glass, extremely clear telescopes, and microscopes with a maximum magnification of 1,000 times that can clearly see cells."

Mona was shocked: "The microscope predicted by the mirror grinder?"

She can be Candela's most trusted business manager, and her greatest skill is her extensive knowledge. In addition to not knowing magic, her knowledge and experience are much better than those of ordinary highland mages.

Therefore, she saw the great value of the microscope at a glance.

"That's right, and it's much more useful than what the master predicted."

Mona immediately lowered her head to read the manuscript provided by Rosen carefully. As she looked at it, her aqua blue eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Baron, if there is no problem with this information and you can guarantee production capacity, then even if we don't go to the east, we are confident that our profits will more than double what we are now."

The current trading profit is about 140,000 kroner a year, twice that is 280,000, which is richer than Maple Leaf Town in Bielgu.

Rosen shrugged: "I have already built the corresponding workshop, and I am just waiting for you to get the goods."

Glass technology is very mature in this world, and there are many skilled glass workers. Even if the technology is improved, production capacity can be increased very quickly.

In short, no matter how big Mona's stall is, he can open up the supply.

It was also considered that the optical glass workshop would be an important source of profit for Crescent Town in the future, so all the technology was kept strictly confidential and was built right next to the Firearms Bureau.

There are 200 elite troops stationed around for protection, and a full set of confidentiality measures are in place. They are guarded as if they are strategic supplies.

Mona immediately said: "I want to get 10 pairs of microscopes first. How much will the Baron bid?"

"Ten thousand crowns each."

In fact, the cost of a microscope is 1,100 crowns, and this is because of the high-grade materials used. If it is made of ordinary brass, it only costs 80 crowns.

The current production capacity is 50 units per day.

But production capacity belongs to production capacity. If there are no competitors, only a fool would throw all the production capacity into the market.

The best way is to give a small portion of the goods first to create market scarcity in order to obtain excess profits.

If he produces 10 microscopes, there will only be 10 in the entire golden land. Given the huge scarcity, Rosen naturally dared to ask for sky-high prices.

Sell ​​it as a rare treasure first and make a fortune. When really strong competitors emerge, start a price war.

Mona nodded without hesitation: "Then take ten units, and we'll pay you first."

This thing is the only one in the mainland. Once you get it, the price will be whatever you want.

If what this information says is correct, then selling one for 15,000 kroner shouldn’t be a big problem.

The reason why she was so straightforward was because Rosen had excellent credibility and was very focused on maintaining her reputation.

Seeing that Mona was eager to get the goods, Rosen raised a finger and shook it gently.

"Don't worry, I still have something to say."

He lightly tapped the table with his finger and said in a solemn voice: "Sell the goods to the Middle Kingdom first. Later, when the reputation becomes famous, the people in the East Territory will definitely want it, but I will not sell my goods to the East Territory!"

The Middle Territory is where the imperial capital is located, and it is the center of political belief in the golden land. The technology may not be as good as the Eastern Territory, but the money is huge.

Mona's face was shocked: "Baron, if you do this, you will offend the Eastern Market."

Rosen smiled slightly: "Don't worry, how can I be willing to offend the Eastern Market?"

He explained carefully.

"Because the Marquis is blocking our cargo, if we want to transport the cargo to the east, do we have to take a long way overland?"

"Um."

"But my instruments are very precise. If I travel too far by land, problems can easily occur. As a result, I cannot guarantee the interests of my customers, and it will also damage the reputation of my Crescent Glass Workshop."

Mona understood somewhat: "Are you going to throw the pressure back on the Marquis?"

Seeing that she understood, Rosen smiled.

"People in the East are very shrewd and will soon find out something is wrong. When the time comes to ask, you will repeat what I said below."

Rosen took a sip of tea, coughed slightly, and cleared his throat.

"I think the East is a very beautiful place, but Marquis Holunnier of Broken Leaf City is a greedy and shameless bastard. It was precisely because of his unreasonable obstruction that I painfully chose to give up the East Market. Yes. Therefore, I am very frustrated and very sorry.”

Mona heard this, but she was still a little worried.

"Baron, the level of weapon refining in the East is very high. What if they copy your microscope?"

Rosen smiled slightly: "I naturally thought of this, but my optical glass uses a lot of unique secret methods. It takes time to imitate, and the minimum estimate is one year."

"At the same time, I have also prepared optical glass with better quality and created optical equipment with more precision and outstanding functions."

"I can guarantee that my goods will always be the best on the market."

Mona thought Rosen was a little overconfident, but since he said so, it also meant that he was fully prepared.

Therefore, in a short period of time, they can indeed make excess profits with the help of technological advantages, and can also use this to force the Marquis to bow.

"Then I will do as you say."

Rosen immediately added a clause.

"By the way, you can pay 20% of the payment for this batch of goods. The remaining 80% will be given to me to import coarse grains, oats, potatoes, large and small cassava, etc. It doesn't matter if the quality is low, as much as possible."

"no problem."

Well, a new deal is agreed upon.

Shortly after Mona left, the priest Granpan of the temple came again.

He brought a stack of orders.

"Lord, the High Priest of Fa'ao personally tested the new magical weapon you provided and believes that this magical weapon will greatly improve the exorcism efficiency of the exorcist warriors."

"The chief priest contacted the great temple in the Nuanfeng Basin. The chief priest of the basin also thought that this new magic weapon was very good, so he also gave a lot of orders."

He handed Rosen the order, which contained 25 orders.

Rosen took the order and looked at it carefully, and found that each order ranged from 50 to 300, and each gun was equipped with a requirement of at least 300 rune balls.

All in all, this order can provide the Crescent Leader with an income of up to 120,000 crowns, not to mention the continuous supply demand of subsequent rune balls.

Rosen was very happy and said with a smile: "Priest, don't worry, we will go all out to produce and try our best to meet the needs of the temple."

Grandpan handed another note to Rosen: "Lord, the current power of the rune balls is still a little small, and it is difficult to fight against some powerful evil spirits. Therefore, we want to obtain more powerful rune balls."

"The specific requirements are all written above."

Rosen took the note and looked at it carefully. As he read it, he made an estimate in his mind. About half an hour later, he said, "Don't worry, chief priest, we can meet the temple's requirements."

"Then let's wait for the good news from the lord. Oh, by the way, this is a 30% deposit."

The work in the temple was really fun.

After the head priest Grandpan left, Rosen tapped his finger on the table with a sneer on his face: "Marquis, Marquis, you want to block me with your little ability? Ridiculous!"
