Different World Development Manual Chapter 140: Legal merchant

The rainy season this time has been unexpectedly long. It has been five months since Corning City severely damaged the elite of the Holy See.

At this time, it has entered the December month of the Earth calendar, and the winter solstice is almost approaching in China.

However, on the side of the Avalon Empire, the rainy season is about to end, and the entire Avalon will also usher in a long summer.

Meteorologists in the 5 earth countries can be sure that the inherent territories of the earth are still the climate on the earth, but the newly developed territories are the climate of the different world, this kind of scene is very strange.

Even under the same sun and moon, this difference cannot disappear. This is probably the power of this magical spaceship under everyone's feet.

Moreover, the weather environment in another world is also very strange, and it is difficult to come up with a regular forecast of climate change.

Also, there are extreme climates in some areas. It is possible that a certain mountain forest is like spring in all seasons, but there is a small area in this mountain forest that has completely different seasons and climates from the entire mountain forest.

In the words of the locals in the flat world, this is a sequelae caused by the battle of the gods, or a wonderful fantasy created by the creation **** deliberately.

Weisslan City, this city located at the end of the Avalon Grand Canal, is the core of the last line of defense in the south of the Avalon Empire.

In Wislan Castle, Bob has just received a few nobles from the south. They complained to Bob and asked him to lower his taxes appropriately.

During the war, everyone tightened their belts, and Bob knew the difficulties of these nobles.

Although Bob wanted to be moved by emotion and persuaded these nobles to abandon their personal interests and serve the empire and the emperor, but Bob knew that this was impossible.

Although the taxes paid by the noble vassals to the superior lords are partly related to the imperial law, the attitude of the nobles to the superior lords is very important.

In this era of enfeoffment, if the lower-level lords are dissatisfied with the higher-level lords, not only may they not even pay taxes, they may not even provide you with enlistment during the war.

The relationship between the lord and the lord is mutual cooperation, competition and exchange of interests.

Bob didn't embarrass these nobles. Tax cuts should be reduced. At least these nobles must still support the empire.

A guard broke in just after Bob sent away the nobles: "Marshal! The arms dealer you want has been contacted!"

"Huh? Where?"

Bob contacted an arms dealer who could sell Chinese weapons. Tomir's troops equipped with flintlocks and grenades made Avalon suffer.

Among ordinary soldiers, cold weapons are far less good than hot weapons.

Fortunately, it was the rainy season before, and the flintlocks in Tomir's army didn't shine very much during this period, but the grenade in their hands killed all sides at this time.

Avalon’s rainy season is coming to an end. Bob also knows that flintlocks will once again shine on the battlefield. Therefore, a few months ago, Bob was looking for someone who could sell flintlocks. Businessman too.

"We have brought him to the meeting room."

Bob nodded again and again: "Well, take me to see."

It didn't take long before Bob arrived in the drawing room.

Opening the door gently, a Chinese man dressed in a suit, about 45 years old, sitting on a recliner, was served by a few beautiful young maids.

When the maids saw that Bob was coming, they got up quickly, bowed to Bob, and owed them to the Chinese man, and started to leave.

The Huaxia people watched these young and beautiful girls go, feeling hurt, stretched out his hand, and stopped talking.

However, due to the arrival of the big customer, he had to arrange his clothes, got up from the recliner, looked at Bob, smiled awkwardly, and said in Panda language: "Seeing you are extraordinary, you must be the Duke Sir?

My fellow Blue Whale, the owner of the "Blue Whale Spirit Gun". "

Speaking, he took out a business card with Chinese on the front and Pandan on the back.

"Blue whale?"

Bob was taken aback. Isn't the businessman he's looking for the smuggler on Panda's side? How did he become a Chinese?

I took a look at Blue Whale’s business card. I didn’t know Bob in Chinese, only Pandawen on the back of the business card.

For Chinese people, Bob has some scruples. While looking at the blue whale, he muttered: "I remember I was looking for a smuggler on Panda's side."

"Pop!"

Blue Whale snapped his fingers, took out a cigar from his arms, handed it over respectfully, and said, "Yes, I am the'smuggler' you want."

Bob waved his hand, he couldn't get used to the Chinese smoke, and refused the blue whale's cigar. Bob tried to ask: "You, treason?"

The blue whale said casually: "Hey, what, Duke.

I am a serious and legitimate businessman in China, and there is no such thing as treason. "

Speaking, the Blue Whale began to dispel Bob's worries.

After the Amina incident was over, the Blue Whale went to Carinthia to roam, but this time, the Blue Whale was lucky enough to meet his sponsor, William, Earl of Cornwall of Carinthia.

William also wanted to set up a flintlock factory, but he didn't have the skills and couldn't set up a factory in Mobei Province.

According to the regulations on the production of flintlocks in Mobei Province, only companies with 100% of Chinese people can approve the production of flintlocks.

So William proposed to Blue Whale to invest in Blue Whale, let Blue Whale monopolize the shares, and set up a flintlock factory.

The Blue Whale needs to purchase 50% of its sales profits in China for other commodities, and then send them to the Cornwall Commercial Group's warehouse in Youyiguan or Windmill City.

This kind of indirect equity participation by foreigners in sensitive industries, Blue Whale is not stupid, and directly reported it to the Time and Space Administration.

However, the Time and Space Administration is also very concerned about William, a nobleman in Carinthia. At the same time, according to the agreement between William and Blue Whale, William will not divide pure profits, nor will he take away any flintlock. gun.

What he wanted was only a 50% profit equivalent of Chinese products, so after Blue Whale prepared the case at the Time and Space Administration, he quickly built the "Blue Whale Spirit Gun".

Taking foreigners' money to boost the province's GDP has always been what Dakang and Dakang are willing to see.

When Bob heard that, he was half a Panda businessman and half a Carinthian businessman.

Bob's worries about the blue whale are also lessened, so he asked: "Mr. Lan, how many goods did you bring this time?"

However, the blue whale held a cigar, looked at Bob, and asked: "Your Excellency the Duke, don’t mind if I smoke one. In this solemn castle, I’m afraid of being in front of the Duke and other nobles. It's annoying, I don't dare to smoke."

Bob nodded: "Please, I don't mind."

"Crack."

A string of flames rose, and the blue whale took two cigars "grily", slowly spit out a puff of smoke to one side, then looked at Bob, and asked, "Your Excellency, how much do you want? "

Bob squinted his eyes. Could this guy give as much as he wants?

Try to ask: "As much as I want, you can give it?"

Blue Whale was delighted: "Then it depends on whether the inventory below is enough for the Duke's appetite."

"How much?"

The blue whale was an eighth. Bob couldn't understand this unique Chinese gesture. He stared at the blue whale suspiciously. He only heard the blue whale slowly say: "More than 80,000 flintlocks."

"80,000!? So many?"

Bob was surprised. This 80,000 is too exaggerated. It was taken from a businessman. You must know that China and Avalon are now at war.

"Are you sure your Panda language is 80,000, not 8,000, you are right?"

The blue whale nodded affirmatively: "80,000, the young man is not deceived."

Bob took a deep breath: "How come there are so many, Huaxia agreed to sell to us? Or did you say that you are treason?"

However, the blue whale chuckled, shakes off the soot, and said unhurriedly: "I am a legitimate businessman. Because of the pressure from us merchants, the domestic trade has been cancelled.

The flintlocks nowadays can be bought by anyone with money.

This is a legal business, not treason. "

The Blue Whale is half-truth and half-truth. As for the pressure from the merchant, it doesn't exist.

The main purpose is to create a strong Chinese arms merchant in front of Bob.

Bob was taken aback: "The ban has been lifted?"

Blue Whale nodded: "Not long ago, I wonder if you think these 80,000 flintlocks and matching ammunition are enough?"

"Of course not enough, when more is better..."

Speaking of this, Bob asked again: "If I want more guns, can you get them?"

The blue whale patted his chest and said with a smile: "I'm an honest businessman. I sign a good agreement. I'll take care of it.

Don’t forget, my lord is the boss of the musket factory. As much as you want, I can produce as much for you at any time. "

Bob nodded, thinking that the blue whale seemed to be very reliable, so he asked: "Where are the 80,000 flintlocks?"

The Blue Whale came alone without any cargo. All the cargo was in the transit warehouse in Lane City at the beginning of the Avalon Canal.

"In Lane City, if your Excellency wants it, you can take them on a boat north at any time."

With the opening of the train from the starting point city to Mantuen, more and more goods also took the train directly to the city of Mantuen, and then were transported by inland freighter to the upper reaches of the Maeso Wangjuelin. Lane City.

So Lane City can now be regarded as a transit point, and all kinds of goods are gathered in this place.

The Blue Whale continued: "If your Excellency wants more, I can produce it at any time. Using our country's inland freighter, you will be able to ship what you want to Weislan soon."

Bob also imitated flintlocks, but when he invested a lot of financial resources, he found that the flintlocks he made was far too far behind the flintlocks made by China~IndoMTL.com~so Bob I can only give up.

Now Blue Whale has brought more, better, and cheaper flintlocks. Of course, Bob chose the Blue Whale Spirit brand flintlocks.

It took a long time for the two sides to finalize a detailed trade agreement.

Bob used gold and some minerals as well as luxury goods and specialties as payment methods, and placed an order for 500,000 flintlocks to the "Blue Whale Spirit Gun".

The agreement was signed for the first batch of 80,000 flintlocks. After paying the deposit, the Blue Whale asked Lane City’s men to put the guns on the wooden sailboat and drive towards the lower reaches of the Avalon Grand Canal. Come.

As for the 500,000 flintlock blue whales that can’t be eaten, that’s not what he needs to worry about.

With so many flintlock manufacturers in Mobei Province, Blue Whale has a big deal to come out with a little profit and just place orders with other manufacturers.

With the lifting of trade restrictions, the war that swept across the western part of the northern continent of Aghanim, and the militarization of the Aghanim countries, flintlock manufacturers in the entire Mobei Province began to work overtime. Here comes the flintlock.
