After field investigation of the North Slope Mine and two consecutive days of negotiations, Roland reached a new trade contract with Hoger and the Fir Moon Bay Caravan.
When Hogg saw the running orbital mine transportation system, his eyes were almost falling out.
He even applied for investing money to build a factory in Bianfeng Town, specializing in building mine tracks and supporting equipment, and enjoyed half of the profits each. However, Roland refused to attract investment. Attracting investment is something that can only be done when there are many people. What the town lacks now is people, not money.
After all, Hog was just a mining businessman. Although he owned several mines and managed an open-pit silver mine for Earl Kambala in Silverlight City, all he could do was the miners, which was much worse than the strength of having an island in Fenyue Bay.
In the end, the contract he signed was to order a steam engine six months later, and also ten units, as well as a complete mine transportation system (including tracks and mine cars). Half of the demon month was delivered before, and the rest would be filled in the next year.
The Thin Moon Bay caravan was much louder, and Gamore signed a ten-year agreement directly.
When the caravan comes next time, he will bring a team of three hundred men, mainly composed of blacksmiths and carpenters.
The remuneration for these people is paid by Firm Moon Bay, and Roland only has to provide accommodation and food.
The steam engines they produced in ten years were sold to Firming Moon Bay, and it was discussed after ten years that Roland voluntarily decided to stay or leave after ten years.
There is no doubt that there will definitely be a caravan's confidant among this group of people. Even after adding this article, the other party will definitely choose people loyal to Xinyue Bay as much as possible. It is unknown whether half of the people who decide to stay.
But for Roland, skilled workers are always not enough, and leaving only 10% is profitable.
What he was worried about was never technological advantages, but about no one coming to transform his technology into actual products.
In addition to the steam engine, the second big order came from ship transformation.
The two inland sailboats were brought with San Hundred Craftsmen. The Firth Moon Bay Caravan hoped that Border Town would convert it into a steam-powered paddlefish. The single transformation fee was as high as 1,800 Golden Dragons, and the two combined directly exceeded Margaret's steam engine order.
In comparison, although the mug received three orders, the total amount was less than 300 Golden Dragons. This was still the case when Roland raised the price ten times that of convenience stores.
This made him sigh at the profit gap between industrial products and civilian products. If it cannot be produced in large quantities, civilian products will still simply meet the needs of small town residents.
What surprised the prince was that both the iron breastplate and the iron farm tools were neglected.
Later, it was during dinner that Margaret answered his doubts. Although your breastplate is indeed cheaper, the output is too small. If you resell it, each piece may only have five or six gold dragons profits.Moreover, your armor is forged by a hydraulic forging hammer, right?Either use a steam engine... no matter what, the price of this kind of armor is very fixed, and it is expensive on good quality iron, not on manual labor.She paused, and it was even more unnecessary to buy it for herself. Both the guards and sailors rarely wore heavy iron armor, which would make them sink quickly when they fell into the water.Most of the time, armor is shackles to them, not protection.
The same is true for farm tools. If you can't get a lot of cheap iron, it won't be much cheaper even if it's cheaper. Compared with similar local products, it's difficult to form any advantages.Unlike those colorful cups, the price is not fixed at all. If you meet the noble you like, you may earn several times.
I see.Roland thought about it and found that this is indeed the case... For stable commodities such as armor and agricultural tools, it is difficult to suppress the price too much when the material cost accounts for the majority of the price. He is cheaper and cheaper. Forging is higher in steam engines than water hammers. Unfortunately, this price difference is not enough to arouse the interest of big merchants.
Moreover, the whiteboard armor and Soloya's anti-spun coating are also part of the first army's clothing replacement. It is impossible to sell a large amount of iron before the iron production increases.
……
The anticipated drama debut day is coming soon.
In the afternoon, the townspeople surrounded the central square and were unable to escape. This was when Roland demolished the old buildings around it and doubled the area of the square.
In order to play a propaganda role, Roland began to issue an announcement a week in advance to the people, and ordered the Ministry of Agriculture to send people to the residential areas outside the town to mobilize serfs to watch the drama.
As the lord, Roland obviously has the best viewing position.
Directly facing the performance stage, Carl set up a temporary wooden platform with three rows of wooden platforms, which can accommodate about a hundred people. Roland is sitting in the middle of the third floor.
On one side is the Witch Alliance, next to him is Anna, on the other side is the Merchant Group, and the nearest is Margaret.
The first and second floors are mostly officials and apprentices from the city hall.
To ensure safety, the people around the wooden platform were soldiers of the First Army, who were isolated from the civilians while watching the play.
It was about four o'clock in the afternoon, and the hot sun had faded, and the cool breeze that Wendy had rolled up from time to time made everyone on the stage enjoy a VIP-like treatment.
Amid the applause of everyone, the actors took to the stage one by one.
To be honest, Roland was completely unsure of what effect this premiere would achieve in the end. After handing the script to Erin, he never cared about it. Whether it was recruiting or rehearsal, she and Film were all busy.
Looking back now, how much experience can a newcomer from the theater have only appeared on stage once?
Moreover, the friends she found were probably all the supporting actors who had no chance to perform at the Fortress Theater and went to the town.
In other words, this is a new drama that is all directed, arranged and implemented by a new team.
Fortunately, Roland didn't mind failure. This drama was not for ticket revenue or to promote how good the script was.
This is an enlightenment for ideological transformation, and it is performed more than once.
This is not well performed, just make progress next time.
I know why you are so confident in this performance, Margaret suddenly exclaimed, you actually invited Miss May!
Roland was stunned, who?
May Ah, don't tell me you don't know about this!Oh my God, I had watched her performance in Wangdu before coming here. Margaret smacked her lips. She was top notch in terms of grasping the role or creating emotions."The Prince's Love" earned countless tears, and even Kakinfez praised her!
Who is Kakinfez?Roland looked through the memories and found that he had no impression of the name in his mind.
...Your Highness, are you really from the capital?Margaret blinked, and I took the initiative to ask, Who is the person you are most familiar with in Wangdu?Except in the palace.
The devil's hand asked Kou, and Roland blurted out and immediately realized something was wrong.
Oh, the businesswoman looked at him meaningfully. The most famous playboy, I heard that just one hand can make women unable to forget him... I understand.
Just by your hands?Anna turned her head, why?
No... nothing.Roland helped out and said, let’s watch the drama seriously.
