Grandmaster Hunter of Age of Mythology
Chapter 80: Trading in goods to save up enough gold coins to prepare for going abroad
The Quartermaster Department placed another order, requiring high-quality and low-priced goods. This time, they took on the association's scheduled delivery business. It was okay to do it occasionally, because this was the family's own small piece of land and they couldn't interfere too much.
Four trips of cargo earned more than 40,000 magic coins. Now the arsenal has all the materials.
"General, we have everything. You can only do this job once when you are short of money. You can't get involved in the business here."
General: "Haha, your goods are profitable. Of course I welcome you to ship more goods to me. But it will offend some big shots whom I don't even know. However, goods with a profit of 5,000 per month are no problem."
"Okay, the general is addicted. I have left a follower in the magician's residential area, named Iron Fist. You can discuss it with him and he will definitely satisfy the general. This little money is just a drop in the bucket, enough for the general to subsidize his household expenses, so it shouldn't be a problem."
After we finished talking here, it was already late, so we returned to the magician's residence. There was no profit in daily necessities, but we could make money by making a few more trips.
The general makes a profit of 5,000 yuan a month, with a turnover of almost 80,000 yuan. Let Iron Fist handle this matter slowly.
The next morning, I met Tiequan and told him about the matter, and asked him to solve it.
"Miss, is the matter done?"
"Iron Fist, you just stay in the military camp to take orders. I'm in trouble now, and the workload will only get bigger and bigger. I've even started a small business to make money, so I'm going on a long trip soon, and it will take at least one or two months for me to come back. If you have any problems, please ask the family for help!"
"Don't worry, there are plenty of magicians to take me through the teleportation array. Once I tell them it's a business matter, we will be approved to leave the camp."
"Okay, you can practice on your own when you have nothing to do. I can't take care of your business for the time being. If you have business, just take it. I'll take care of other things first."
"Yes, miss, what do you want to eat for lunch? I'll prepare it right away..."
"Bring me a bowl of fresh fish soup, cook it well, and keep the other food light. I'm going to go see the animal trainer now. My red wolf and black tiger are still young, so they won't be needed this time."
As an attendant, Tiequan set up a small tent next to the lady's big tent and started cooking for her. His cooking skills were so-so and the lady was not picky. The food in the army was even worse.
Today, Blaney is well-known in the area, but not because of her own strength, but simply because she is a pure consumer and is generous with her money.
Just today, Bryony came to visit the famous intermediate animal trainer Andre. Her top mount, the red wolf, and the extremely brave owl black tiger, were all carefully trained by Andre...
"Master Andre, are you there?" Blaney called softly.
Soon, the trainer came out of the tent. A cute black tiger stood firmly on his broad shoulders. When the black tiger saw its master coming, it immediately chirped happily, then flapped its wings and flew straight towards Blyney, circling and playing above her head...
"Master, when I first saw it, it was pure black. I didn't expect that now I can vaguely see the beautiful tiger stripes on its body. Especially under the sunlight, it looks sparkling and magnificent!" Blaney said in amazement.
"Haha, actually this owl was originally a member of the monsters, but there is an extremely small probability that it will mutate into Black. This variant is extremely rare and extremely ferocious, and can be regarded as a real rare treasure! After all, only the royal family can have such a fine breed!" Anduriel explained with a smile.
"Master, I will be leaving this military camp in a few days to handle some matters. Please continue to explain the Wave Meditation Method to me. I guess it will take some time before I have the opportunity to return here." Blaney asked sincerely.
"Okay! I'll start the lecture right away. I estimate it will take twenty hours. During this time you won't be confused in your practice..."
"It's okay. I'll listen carefully and try to understand all the contents!"
During these three days, I listened carefully to the lectures, interpreted the texts, and shared Master Andre's experience in cultivation. I combined the two with my lectures until Blaney mastered the theory.
"Master, all that remains is to thoroughly master the knowledge. Please take care of the two little guys. It's been very fun interacting with them these days. They are still too young, so please take care of them."
"You're welcome, it's my honor to train them! If you don't want to tell me what you're going to do, then be safe and have a safe trip."
"Thank you, this is the training fee for the little ones, take it, if it's not enough, wait until I come back." He gave the instructor 10,000 magic coins. The medicine and food they needed were increasing, so Bryony always gave a little more.
"There are so many. We haven’t used up all the ones I gave you last time."
"Here, you are my second mentor. If I come back late, it might be a big expense, so keep some magic coins for emergencies."
Blainey left that night, riding an ordinary military mount to the magic academy, where he stayed for the night.
The trade route had not been opened yet, so Tiequan had nothing to do. He was busy making friends with people in the army and wandering around to build good relationships.
Only more than 30 pocket watches were received that night, and some parts were out of stock. Looking at these goods, it should be enough to make a fortune. However, I couldn't help but sigh that the production capacity of pocket watches was too low and the internal structure was too complicated, which was not conducive to mass production. Scarcity makes things valuable.
Blainey only stayed at the magic academy for one night, which was equivalent to paying only 30% of the fee to get the goods. The academy instructor trusted her, so he let her take the pocket watch without hesitation.
After a trip to a foreign country, he might become a wealthy man when he comes back, and he will definitely bring back some good things.
Meanwhile, after several days of careful research and deep consideration, the intelligent Lillian finally made up her mind to open a business to purchase goods.
The business model she adopted was that of a traveling merchant warehouse, so that she would not have any conflicts or disputes with the Shi Le family. After all, she would only purchase the necessary materials from Shi Le's merchant company.
However, despite this, Lillian still had to personally go to Tan Aili to discuss the supply channel. After all, if they wanted to successfully compete with the Shi Le family, they could not ignore this key link. When Tan Aili heard about this, she almost laughed out loud.
It turned out that they planned to open up a new trade route: first transport all kinds of goods to Phoenix County for sale, and then the caravan would bring back local wine, relatively cheap cloth, and various unique products of the Kangsen family, such as the civilized staff that demonstrates their noble status, elegant and fashionable top hats, exquisite and durable fishing rods, fragrant tobacco, and sweet and delicious cane sugar and other items.
Tan Aili had investigated these treasures of the Kangsen family and knew them very well. Naturally, she accepted all of them.
As the saying goes, "business is business", especially those top hats and fishing rods, which are extremely profitable and popular items! In this way, every round trip can fill the vehicle with goods, and Lillian earns the difference in freight.
For the Kangsen family, this is undoubtedly great news - their several luxury and high-end products now have another way to sell well, and before, due to the lack of effective channels, these goods were difficult to reach this place, but now they can finally be delivered smoothly.
The Kangsen family's business method is very old-fashioned, which is to make money by walking around, but it has also supported generations of young people in the territory. This has become a rigid way of thinking, so it is safe, but it is not a meal that can bring huge profits.
Lillian has an idea. The two sides should first lay the groundwork for the fight. The traveling caravan poses no threat to the Shi Le family and has also opened up sales channels, so it is impossible to exclude them. Everything should be laid out well and wait for the young lady to come back.
Now he needed business intelligence, connections, markets, and truly strong capital. The young lady exchanged 20,000 magic coins for 200,000 gold coins as capital, and let her make her own decisions about her business. This was the only way for now.
