Release that Witch Chapter 836: Signs of change
Despite the implication of strong buying and strong selling, the fjord merchants eventually accepted the selection method. They all know that if they withdraw now, other people will only swallow the goods with no substitute along with that one, and this small concession will not be a big deal.
And they also have to admit that Roland has a certain truth. Although the samples brought back before are obviously different in taste, they are not comparable to wine or other drinks on the market. The difference is just making more money and making less. Moreover, the regions where everyone is responsible for sales are different, and the possibility of forming competition is not high, which further reduces the risk of selecting low-quality products.
Looking at Gamore and others to look around the barrel, and even sniff it with their nose, trying to find the appearance of some residual drinks, Roland laughed secretly. Don't look at the ordinary shape of these barrels, but there is a layer of Soraya painted film inside, which completely isolates the inside and outside air, and it can't smell the difference by the nose alone.
While everyone was choosing Chaos Drink, he calmly called Margery aside and whispered: "The tastes of the drinks in the barrels on the 10th and 24th are pretty good. , At least I personally like it. "
The latter looked surprised, "Your Majesty ..."
"Just as a gift," Roland chuckled. "If it wasn't for the group of merchants you brought with you at first, maybe it would take two or three years for Western Region to look what it is today. Your purpose is not to do business with Border Town, but the town still benefits a lot, so this reward is not much. "He paused," Of course, only this time after all, if you draw a good card every time, what about other people? Will be skeptical. "
These things he said were basically facts. The steam model machine at the time was bulky and difficult to operate, and it could only be used for the simplest drainage and hauling work. There was not much sales in the Western Region market. If she hadn't introduced it to the Silver Light City mineral merchants, and thus opened up a high-margin business path, the original accumulation in the early stage would be much harder.
What's more, Margery Commerce is responsible for the sales area of Greycastle mainland. It is also a good choice to occupy the local market with good-quality varieties first.
"Then I'll accept your thank you," the businesswoman did not make too many excuses to treat others, she did have some Thunder shadows, hearty, and at the same time informal. After slightly touching his chest and giving a gift to Roland, Margery covered his mouth and smiled, "Since I received your gift, I can't give you any good news, so let me tell you a good news first."
"Oh?" Roland raised an eyebrow.
"The first group of merchants you mentioned, that is, my old friend Hogg, also planned to visit Western Region recently." She lowered her voice. "But from his letter, this time it was not just him who came alone The machines you sold have spread in the central part of the kingdom, and now almost all mining merchants are asking him about the rail transport system. Maybe after six months, your factory will have to be busy all day long. "
"Really ..." Roland took a moment's notice, then nodded with a smile, "It seems to be good news to celebrate."
But only he knew it. After hearing this news, bottom of heart suddenly felt a sincere sense of accomplishment.
This day is finally here.
In the past two years, he has sold nearly a hundred steam engines, of which only 30% are in the kingdom. At the beginning of the Greycastle Industrial Company, the monthly output was only two or three units that were horrible. Even if the territory's own needs were not met, he still sold some of them to Silver Light City, and I look forward to this day.
The power of such a scarce quantity is almost negligible to the industrial revolution, but it is a signal that once the transition from human to machinery, the production mode is about to be reborn. When everyone notices this new force and wants to emulate chasing, change begins.
This kind of benefit-led change is almost blocked by impossible. Its effect is 10 million times better than sipping and selling products everywhere. The energy contained in it is enough to change the entire era.
Neverwinter City is not what it used to be. The output of the industrial park in one day is equivalent to the past month, and it can grow even more after three shifts. The most important is that a large number of apprentices who have completed primary education are constantly turning into workers. They have never touched the hammer and have not built a sword, but have learned how to use machines to produce machines. As soon as the time comes, Neverwinter City can burst out of the productivity of this era.
From the news of Margery, Roland seems to see that this time is not far away from him.
...
Two days later, the fjord businessman left Neverwinter City with the selected Chaos Drink, and Barov eagerly entered his office with a thick stack of books.
From the expression that the old Prime Minister was laughing so much that he couldn't see his eyes, Roland knew that the harvest would be quite rich.
However, after opening the statistics book, he did not stay too long on the entry amount, but instead focused on the new population.
According to the agreement of the last meeting, Sunset Island and Shallow Water Town will each provide 300 craftsmen in exchange for completing the Stream Ship transformation within five years; and the wealthy Crescent Moon Bay is even more direct, buying two ships with 2,000 people and 50,000 gold royal No sail steel ship. Although the purpose of both is for shipbuilding technology, Roland does not care about this point, but treats it as a bargaining chip. As long as it is willing to leave people, not only manufacturing methods and process means, but also design drawings. Can give them.
So they also worked hard this time. According to the statistics of Barov, the number of workers craftsmen brought by this trip to the fjord is more than 10% more than that agreed, and most of them have many years of shipbuilding experience The old carpenter's intention is self-evident: Since Neverwinter City does not prohibit the spread of technology, then until the contract is completed, except for those who are considered as part of the transaction, the rest will bring what they have learned back to the fjord.
Unfortunately they don't understand the term technology in the new era.
Roland can't help but raise its mouth, and soon the fjord people will find that if they want to produce steam ships themselves, they have to buy raw materials, processing equipment, key parts and components from Neverwinter City ... In Greycastle, it is just like those small countries that do n’t have full industrial capacity in later generations.
He lifted the quill pen and drew a circle under these craftsmen totals, then returned the statistics book to Barov.
"Relocate them well, call Karl van Bate together, and make a financial plan based on the current situation of the industrial park," Roland commanded, "We have to build more factories."
