Release that Witch Chapter 1040: Plans for Victor
As the biggest contributor to increasing grain production, the story of Leaf has long been written in "Witch Diaries" as a comic strip. This kind of booklet is sold in the convenience market, and it is not unusual for foreign merchants to know her existence.
However, the named Dao hopes to cooperate with witch. He is the first fjord different from advocating adventure. The four mainland countries are more affected by Church, and their prejudice against witch is much deeper. Nowadays, some people are willing to contact actively. witch, Roland also became interested.
After reading the letter, he touched his chin, "Is it from Dawn ... you should know his address?"
"Yes," said Barov. "He kept records in the Administration Office. I also asked Ms. Scroll to check the tax payment records and found that his records date back to six years ago. But at that time his business was mainly Buying rough jewellery, occasionally carrying some fur, has nothing to do with cotton. "
"Interesting." Roland knew very well how rude the tax system of this era was. It was written down by the tax officer. Even after a long time, it was even clear to me, let alone check. In addition, resident property owners are okay to say that after all, farmland can't run away there, and like a businessman who moves frequently, there are many ways to avoid the "exploitation" of local feudal lord. Keeping a tax record means that the other party is honest and trustworthy, which is an uncommon quality among the merchant community.
"Call Victor to the castle," he put down the stationery, "I want to talk to him alone."
"As you bid, Your Majesty."
...
Roland soon met the businessman in the parlor.
He does have the characteristics of a Dawn person. Like Andrea, his hair is light blonde; his facial features are at the upper level, and his skin is well maintained; raising his hands and feet is completely noble, and the etiquette is just right. Knowing the family is expensive.
It's hard to imagine that such people need to travel between the two countries for their livelihood. Even if it is a large trade, you can leave it to a reliable person instead of choosing to do it yourself. After all, no matter how rich this era is, long-distance travel is not an easy job.
The other party also explained the family dispute appropriately.
In order to avoid the oppression of his brother and prove his ability, he had to bid farewell to his hometown and go to Greycastle to run a business.
Although this section is rather vague, Roland does not continue to ask. In any case, it was a private matter of others, and he was not interested. The Nightingale did not respond, which also meant that the businessman did not lie.
After listening to the introduction, Roland went directly to the topic, "You want Leaf to cultivate high-yield cotton seeds, but the ultimate goal is to create a new clothing store and promote it to the entire kingdom with the advantages of good quality and low price?"
This is one of the reasons why he decided to summon Victor. Not because he has too many associations, but because the end of the letter was written like this. It's as if someone has submitted a business plan with a fundraising target of 1 billion yuan, and now you are short of 500 yuan.
"Not only Kingdom of Greycastle," the merchant nodded, "I calculated the price, and even if the final finished product is shipped to Dawn, it is still competitive."
Low-price dumping is indeed a big magic weapon to seize the market, but ... this is not an easy thing to achieve. "How can you guarantee that it will be affordable?"
"First of all, I need special cotton, Your Majesty." Victor said happily, "Since Miss Leaf can cultivate three times the yield of gold wheat, then I think she should also triple the cotton yield The price can be reduced to one third of the current, so clothes can be much cheaper. "
Roland can't help laughing out, this logic seems impeccable, but if you think about it, it will make people laugh. High-yield cotton is not difficult for Leaf. With the support of Heart of Forest's vast magic power, her cultivation time can be further shortened, but the problem is that the reason why the price of grain has been so low is to consider the stability of food prices. It's not that it doesn't sell for high prices.
People can't afford to eat a big problem, but cotton is not like this. It has linen, coarse cloth and animal skin in front of it.
"Well ... even if Leaf can triple cotton production, why don't I sell it to other merchants for three times, instead of selling it to you at a lower price?"
"Because I can save you a lot of up-front investment and provide jobs for more than 2,000 people." Victor without a pause, "In addition, you can get a steady stream of taxes, The public can also benefit from it. All of this does not require you to worry about it, just leave it to me to run then it will be alright. "
I have to say that this very modern answer surprised Roland once again, and he said after a while, "These rhetoric ... you all read from the newspaper?"
"I also read every publicity announcement of Neverwinter City. I have read it carefully. Although a lot of words sound a little garbled at first, it does make me see the commercial significance from another aspect." Victor stroked his chest, "In the case of other feudal lord, this kind of self-decreasing price proposal will only drive me out of the door, but if it is you, I think it might not be realized.
This is a novel way of compliment ... if he was kicked out now, wouldn't it become the "other feudal lord" in his mouth? Roland slightly raised his lips, "So talk about your plan."
Then Victor talked about it for nearly an hour, apparently well prepared beforehand.
His idea is not complicated. In short, it is to build a commercial system that integrates planting, textile and sales. The Lothar Family family has a long history of garment making, and experience and technology are not a problem. As soon as the project is officially launched, results will soon be seen.
Of course, everyone can draw big cakes, and the reason why Roland keeps listening is that his consideration of many details Neverwinter City is not suitable for growing cotton, so this part of the industry will be combined with textile production in the southern region area. There is plenty of sunshine and high temperatures throughout the year. At the same time, the migration of Sandpeople will bring a lot of laborers, and the conditions are very suitable in all aspects. The sewing and clothing divisions are set at Neverwinter City, which has higher purchasing power.
In the early stage, whether it is renting farmland, recruiting growers, or textile plant, equipment, etc., all are borne by Victor. Neverwinter City does not bear any risk. In addition to providing high-yielding seeds, the entire process is in a positive state of return.
In addition, because cotton is used for a single purpose, the output can be easily estimated from the purchase amount, so the tax is also very convenient, which can reduce a lot of burden for both parties.
In these details, there are two places that make Roland more attractive: First, the high-efficiency spinning tool mentioned by the other party can deal with cotton processing at three times the output. The second is that Lothar Family has a group of experienced tailors who often design clothes for Shining Light City noble, which can ensure that the finished products are widely loved by the public. Victor also acknowledged that it was precisely after watching "Wolf Heart Marvel" that he found that the Neverwinter people's clothes remained in a very simple stage, and there was no Kingdom Capital style, which was an idea that came into being.
These two points are the key to the overall plan. With them, this huge and ambitious system is no longer an aerial tower, but rather quite feasible.
