The fat man who spoke first is actually the representative of the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce. It is said that he is somewhat related to the fat man Angulo. For Chen Daolin, he is considered his own family. The question that the fat man raised today is also the biggest question in everyone's mind at the moment, but it was actually Chen Daolin who asked him to say it on purpose.
Since this kind of problem cannot be avoided, it is better to let your own people ask the questions. At least you can avoid some deliberate difficulties and harsh criticism.
"This brother from the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce has a good question!"
Chen Daolin smiled and praised him first, then pressed his hands down slightly. Suddenly everyone in the audience felt a cool and refreshing feeling wash over their bodies invisibly!
This is a magical meditation technique!
"The people in these chambers of commerce are all people who have traveled all over the world and seen the world, and they are not just locals. Naturally, I know this is the feeling of magic! Many people suddenly felt shocked and realized: the person standing on top is not someone who can be teased at will, this person is a magician!
????????????????????????? And it is said that he is a magician that even the Emperor of the Empire, Shiloh, is helpless! A magician who is close to both the Tulip family and the Lister family!
The crowd quickly quieted down.
"Then let me answer the question from this gentleman from the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce."
Chen Daolin smiled slightly: "First of all, of course I have to make it clear. All these fortresses belong to the empire and are not my private property. Of course, I am not qualified to sell these fortresses directly."
After saying this, many people had expected expressions on their faces - even if you were a magician, there was no way you could openly sell the empire's military fortress to a private individual. After all, no one dares to do such a bold thing.
"But." Chen Daolin's tone suddenly changed: "The so-called 'selling' is just a way of saying it. I think most of you here have dealt with General Sylvester before. ?¡±
Many people below lowered their heads and looked at each other.
"You used to give money to Sylvester for what reason? Wasn't it just to buy the trade route to the north that Sylvester guarded? It was just money to buy the road! But everyone, this road Did Sylvester build it himself? Of course not, these roads are also owned by the empire! At that time, why could Sylvester take out these roads and sell them to everyone? "
No one spoke anymore. But many people had disapproving expressions on their faces.
??For things like buying road money, it also depends on whether you are qualified, right? Sylvester has tens of thousands of elite soldiers. Even though you, Darling Chen, are a magician, no matter how strong you are, you can't conjure up an army of tens of thousands, right?
"Of course, don't get me wrong, I don't want you to spend the money to buy my way to Darling Chen. I don't want to use this method to make money from you, in that case. What's the difference between it and extortion? I think everyone We've all had enough of that guy Sylvester," 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 tell the truth and stop talking. What exactly is this plan to sell the fortress and make a fortune that you are talking about? We businessmen don't care about anything else. We only care about two things. One is to make money. , The second is risk! If you can guarantee that these two items are fine, even if you sell the palace, we will still have someone who dares to take over!"
The people below couldn¡¯t help laughing.
"Yes, as long as you Darling Chen can handle it and there is no trouble after buying the things Let alone the northwest fortress, it is even a palace." Is there anything you shouldn¡¯t buy? !
"Okay. Then I'll explain it to you all!" Chen Daolin seemed to be shocked. He actually folded his sleeves, laughed a few times, and then started to advocate:
"Everyone, what is the most important thing about border trade? Some people say it's trade routes? Some people say it's relationships? Some people say it's smuggling? Let me tell you, none of them are right!
What business is the most profitable in the world?
Monopoly!
The so-called monopoly means that a business can make money, but only you can do this business. Others can't imitate it, they can't compete with you, they can only watch you do it alone and make as much money as you want!
Think about it, everyone, how enjoyable is this kind of business? "
The following representatives of the business groups who specialize in supplying military supplies to the army couldn't help but reveal a somewhat sympathetic smile on their faces - supplying military supplies to the army is the most profitable, but there must beOnly with a strong backstage and strong channels can one's goods be underwritten by the army.
This business. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is also a kind of monopoly: a privileged monopoly.
Other chambers of commerce, even if your things are cheaper, the quality is better that's useless!
"Everyone here is a shopping hero in the western part of the empire. But just imagine, how many chambers of commerce and business groups are there in the entire northwest of the empire? Nobles, big and small? How many are there in the entire west? How many are there in the entire empire?!
Even if they belong to the same chamber of commerce. But there is also competition between regions! Your branches in the northwest region can do this business, but your branches in the east and south cannot! Isn¡¯t it also a very exciting thing?
What I want to say today is very simple: monopoly! As long as we monopolize a profitable business and firmly hold it in our own hands, others can only stand aside and watch helplessly, but cannot get involved!
This is a monopoly! "
Chen Daolin smiled.
Of course, from an economic perspective, the concept of monopoly is by no means so simple and one-sided.
However, this little statement is enough to encourage these Roland businessmen.
"To the north from this northwest fortress is the territory of the orcs! What do those orcs lack?
They lack everything! Food, drink, clothing! Almost as long as our Roland Empire has it, even a needle taken to the Orc Kingdom can make those guys drool while looking at it! This is our advantage here! It is the wealth that our ancestors brought down for us more than a hundred years ago!
This is how we Roland people ride on the necks of those orcs to earn their gold and magic cores! "
Many businessmen showed knowing smiles.
Everyone has done smuggling trade, and trading with orcs is indeed a good and profitable thing.
The orcs really lack everything. Food, clothing, housing and transportation were scarce.
But the orcs are right next to the Kilimaro Mountains. There are rich gold minerals in the mountains, but the Roland people cannot get involved. Only the orcs and dwarves occupy it.
In addition, in the vast frozen forest, almost 90% of the magical beasts in the entire continent live there. Warcraft itself is full of treasures!
However, those territories were also occupied by these alien races. Nowadays, in the Roland Empire, a piece of the magic core of a mid-level magic beast can be sold for a sky-high price!
And with the orcs, a piece of magic core can be exchanged for a few barrels of ale! !
Chen Daolin continued: "The empire prohibits transactions with orcs, for fear that it will endanger the enemy. Of course, we will not do this. Therefore, iron tools, weapons and equipment, etc., are not allowed here in the Northwest Fortress. Someone will be allowed to be trafficked out. But other than that what I want to say is that there are no other prohibitions here."
Having said this, Chen Daolin smiled and said: "Anyway, the northwest fortress is now in my hands!"
This is a bit red-hot.
"But Chen Daolin doesn't care, and neither do the businessmen here Everyone has done smuggling Law? That¡¯s nothing!
"Let me get back to it! What are the thirty-two forts I marked on the map today? This is the trade route I want to sell to everyone! Listen up, everyone! I, Darling Chen, do not intend to The power to clear the northwest fortress is in my own hands! I don¡¯t intend to pay for passage like Sylvester did before!
And I have divided the customs clearance trade of this northwest fortress into these thirty-two fortresses, divided it into thirty-two parts, and now I will take it out and distribute it to everyone here! From now on, this trade route will be jointly owned by thirty-two families! ! But remember there are only these thirty-two! Except for these thirty-two families no one else can transport even a bag of flour out of my northwest fortress! "
Having said that, the vibration below is even greater!
"That is to say, I divided the northwest fortress trade business into thirty-two shares! From now on, except for these thirty-two companies, no one else can make money from the northwest trade!
You can imaginehow 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 must be hundreds of families who have names and surnames that can be pulled out to do business!
But how much money can this northwest fortress earn from border trade every year? You can do the math!
My meaning is very clear! In this business from now on, only those who participated today can play!
Othersif someone comes to grab the food! We, the thirty-two families, will kill him together! ! "At the end of the day, some of the businessmen below thought about the amount of profits that could be earned from the northwest fortress trade every year. They thought that once the monopoly was established, there would no longer be those large and small peers to compete, and the profit margin would naturally be greatly increased. ¡
Everyone couldn¡¯t help but blush and their heartbeats were beating! After hearing Chen Daolin's last sentence, someone couldn't help but raise his fist and shouted loudly: "Yes!! Fuck him to death!!"
"Yes! If he steals our money, just kill him!!"
Looking at these businessmen at this moment, each of them has a vicious green light in their eyes, like a wolf!
