Grandmaster Hunter of Age of Mythology
Chapter 33 The Business Logic of Market Development
As mentioned last time, we got useful information in the wizard’s residential area, and there are some unprofitable businesses that can be done.
Blaney thought that this was a rare commodity and that once this business was done, he would be a supplier to the military, which was a very good title. Once the banner was raised, even the bandits would not dare to offend.
The savings on security costs and tariffs are very cost-effective. The military will always give some profit for transporting food, stones, wood, and ore, so it doesn't matter.
The journey is more than 2,000 miles, and my family can make a small profit, so I am very happy to help collect supplies. Other business can be discussed later, let's make sure the caravan is wearing military uniforms first.
As long as other businesses along the way can make money, we don’t care about the military’s tiny profits.
After thinking through the business plan, he decided to meet General Bayek again, only about three or four days apart.
"General Bayek, here I come again!".
"What? You want to go to the battlefield and die?"
"How could I have the courage? I have nothing to do in this idle position for the time being, and I want to do some business with the general!"
"You can do business? Tell me about it..."
"General, I cannot get involved in the lucrative business of the military. Please leave those unprofitable businesses to me, such as food, stone, wood, and minerals. I can just make some money from the freight!"
"You are really well-informed. Tell me, what business company are you from? Do you have enough credibility? If you don't have credibility, I don't want to waste time talking."
"The Kangsen Family Business in Phoenix County is a time-honored brand with a history of over 500 years. Do you think it qualifies?"
The general opened the drawer, took out the totem book of nobles, flipped through a few pages of color pictures, found Phoenix County, and slowly looked down, his eyes stopping on the shield pattern, the lion and the battle axe totem.
After looking at the family profile, he nodded and said: "They are indeed qualified, but the profits generated in one year are probably not enough to buy a meal in Beijing."
"General, I'll do it even if I have to pay for it, so that our caravan can wear military uniforms legally. Give me an identity as a military ration supplier. I'll also do the military's unprofitable transportation business."
The general was also from an aristocratic family. Although he didn't understand business, he knew the rules. After a quick calculation, he realized that this business would definitely not be a loss. The girl was very skillful.
"Good means, family background, the Kangsen family has some tricks. Okay, I'll leave the food to you. The more food our army hoards, the better. I'll take as much food as possible..."
The young lady walked towards the map and pointed at six places with her baton: "I want to build six trading companies to transport materials over long distances, so it will take at least half a year to build a trade route. For now, we can ensure that the surplus grain from Phoenix County will be continuously transported to Red Leaf Fortress. As for the stone materials, they will be shipped from the north. The freight cannot make me lose money..."
"Over the years, no one has thought of establishing a business. This place is mountainous and sparsely populated, and has no commercial value. Miss, when will it be possible to make a profit from your business?"
"No one wants to build it, so only our family is qualified to build it. Hahaha, it's never my turn to make money. Regardless of whether I can make money or not, I will bear the maintenance of the 3,000-mile trade route along the way at all costs."
"No matter what your profits are, as long as it is beneficial to our army, this general will support it and complete all the legal procedures for you. Wait for you to deliver grain to me in half a year, and I will definitely give you some profit. Food is the foundation of the country, and the price must not be raised. Therefore, it has become the least profitable and the most important thing. Without food, the army will be defeated in an instant..."
The legal procedures provided by the military were quickly obtained. According to the location drawn on the map, the general agreed to send troops to level the area and build a business, which was considered to be helping within the scope of his duties.
It is precisely because there is no profit that no one wants to build a trade route. This is also an opportunity in Miss Blainey's eyes. Suffering a loss is a blessing. After opening up this trade route, she also has a stable profit.
The young lady rode her wolf and took the teleportation array to Phoenix County again. This time she returned to Conson Castle to meet her father to discuss establishing a trade route.
Five hundred years ago, their family was planning to establish a business, but they faced numerous difficulties. After all, how could they easily get those great places?
This time, the construction site of the trade road was chosen between high mountains and steep hills. The terrain was dangerous, the environment was harsh, and the engineering difficulty was extremely high, just like more than 500 years ago.
However, in such a difficult world, if you want to continue to expand your business, I am afraid that only the southern part of Xinjiang has a glimmer of hope. After all, other regions are either highly competitive or lack resources, making it difficult to make a difference.
Since they had mastered the method of using the teleportation array, the journey home was no longer long and far. In the past, it might have taken several days or even months to travel, but now it only took one day to arrive. Therefore, after the father and daughter finished discussing matters, even if they stayed at home for a few more days, no one would interfere.
Looking at the current situation of the family, the Knights Templar, of which they were so proud, had shown a trend of losing talent, and it was difficult for them to bring honor to the family by making outstanding military exploits in war.
In this way, the Castle of Conson has essentially become a family that pursues mercantilism. Here, commercial activities play a dominant role, and people devote more energy to trade and wealth accumulation.
In the remote southern border, a major project is being carried out in full swing. This decision stems from the firm belief of his father and brother - that is to revitalize the front line of southern Xinjiang and show unprecedented vitality. As a result, the magnificent castle once again opened its doors to recruit talents from all over the world, especially those strong and energetic young people. They were summoned to receive strict and professional business training to prepare for the upcoming journey.
However, behind this seemingly ordinary business operation, there is a shocking secret! It turns out that this caravan has quietly transformed into an important food supplier for the military. What is even more shocking is that according to the number of people, the corresponding number of military uniforms will be continuously distributed.
Doesn't this mean that these ordinary people are about to transform into a powerful non-staff regular army? Thinking of this, my father couldn't help but burst into tears.
He knew very well that the armed forces that had been lost seemed to be regained. If tens of thousands of able-bodied men could put on mighty military uniforms, then the entire family would surely become famous in Phoenix County and could act tyrannically without any scruples.
With such a magnificent momentum, it would be easy to recruit excellent knights...
Therefore, for this hidden benefit, this trade route will not lose money, all tariffs for their caravans will no longer exist, and this loss can be made up in other places.
The daughter already has a surname and is a branch of the Conson Castle. This identity is the best solution for a female wizard. As Blainey's reputation in the army grows, benefits will naturally come.
The father didn't care if his daughter set up her own business, as long as it was profitable, it was just like getting married, she would just take her husband's surname. Anyway, the first wave of benefits came when his daughter became a magician.
What is the empire's attitude? This move saved a lot of military expenditure, because the second-line troops were allowed to transport supplies to southern Xinjiang, and the military pay plus rations, basically the cost was determined by the amount of supplies transported, in terms of labor and materials.
If someone opened up a trade route, the empire could save on military expenses, so the royal family acquiesced in this.
The old king had a great liking for Britney, so he privately praised her for what she had led to benefit Southern Xinjiang. This was the look of a capable young person, so it was okay to support her in secret.
