On the tail of autumn dusk, Wudong City welcomed a guest who had not seen for a long time.
Businesswoman Margaret.
Roland gave this friend who first came to the door and brought generous rewards to the difficult border town, and Roland was given a very high standard of courtesy. Not only did the First Army fire a cannon to welcome him, he also went to the shallows in person and took her into the castle.
You are so polite, Your Majesty, Margaret smiled, I am just an ordinary businessman.
Without your help, it would be difficult for the Western Frontier to develop like this. Roland replied easily, "Winter City will never let down friendship."
Whether it was the initial purchase of large quantities of grain or the subsequent rental of many ships to transport refugees, it was done with the strong assistance of the Margaret Chamber of Commerce.
Even Tassa can gain a foothold in the Old King Capital, which is inseparable from Margaret’s connections and support.
Although these are not provided for free, Roland is very clear that many things cannot be done with money alone.
It is my honor to be called a friend by you, Margaret bowed slightly. This time, in addition to fulfilling the perfume contract I signed earlier, I also brought you new business opportunities. She pointed behind her, they were all the most prominent businessmen in the fjord and were full of interest in your steam sailing plan.
Is that true?Roland smiled, please give me some advice later.
According to his convention, dealing with businessmen is like eating and talking.
After entering the living room, the long table was filled with delicious food, and these overseas visitors seemed to be particularly satisfied with not having to eat fish. In addition, the fjords were not popular with aristocratic etiquette, and they tried their best to control themselves at the beginning and act as elegant as possible.
After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere became more and more high, and all the imitation etiquettes were thrown behind.
Roland didn't mind these things at all. Compared to the cumbersome dining table rules in the palace, he prefers the lively dining environment.
During the chat, he also had a general understanding of the business group he visited this time.
In addition to Gamore and Marland, the two merchants who first visited the border town of Fen Moon Bay, there are also chambers of commerce from Sunset Island and Shallow Water City.
The two islands are adjacent to the Qianyue Bay, one in the south and one in the north, forming a closely linked trade circle.
As the original residence of the Fjords, although the three islands are not large in size, their population and strength are among the top in the fjords, and their competition is quite fierce. This can be seen from the size of the other two fleets.
Each ship docked in the shallow port is full of three-masted sea ships, each carrying nearly three hundred people and cargo of equal weight. The price of such a sailboat is close to five thousand golden dragons, not including sailors.
Obviously, in terms of competing for face and showing strength, these two chambers of commerce do not want to lag behind Xinyue Bay at all.
After the dessert is served, it means that the talks have officially begun.
I heard from Margaret, you all want to buy a steam engine?
Yes, your respected Majesty, Nibelon, the head of the Chamber of Commerce of Sudden Water City, took the lead in speaking, but it was not just a steam engine, we also really wanted to own the steamboat you sold to Firing Moon Bay.
I heard that the renovation cost you offered before was 1,800 golden dragons?Sunset Island is willing to add another two hundred and transform five ships at the price of two thousand golden dragons. Sunset Island merchant Atiye is not willing to fall behind, and the Chamber of Commerce can pay half the deposit first.
Obviously they are referring to the steam paddle ships purchased by Fenyue Bay a year ago. For Roland, this is a technology that is about to be eliminated. It is a very cost-effective transaction to use this batch of orders to train workers and earn a considerable amount of income.
It takes two to three months to transform a paddle steamer, and five will take about a year. If you can accept it, the city hall manager Barov will sign this contract with you.
There is no problem at all, but Sunset Island has a small requirement.Etiye cleared his throat, and we hope you can use the fjord artisans to complete the boat transformation.
What's the meaning?Roland raised his eyebrows.
Just like the steam engine factory in Firing Moon Bay, we provide you with a group of craftsmen. Their transformed ships will be given priority to Sunset Island for use. When the ten-year period expires, they will freely choose to stay or stay.
Reiwari City also hopes to sign the contract in this way. Nibelon echoed that the five sailing ships are just the first orders, and if you can agree to our request, at least five ships will be undergoing renovations every year.
So that's it, Roland thought, so this is a big order that lasts ten years and sells as high as 10,000 Golden Dragons every year, and they will get detailed transformation methods in ten years, so they will not be subject to the control.
But the fact is that he doesn't care about spreading this method at all. Compared with the steam turbine being developed and the three-speed steam engine that has been put into production, paddle steamers are obviously lagging behind the times.
The purpose of his initial ten-year agreement with Firing Moon Bay was to use this decade to adapt the craftsmen to their lives in the Western Region, so that they would not want to return to the Firings and eventually become a member of Winterless City, rather than to prevent technology leakage.
Technology that is separated from the industrial foundation is just a seemingly beautiful castle in the sky.
Thinking of this, Roland knocked on the table. In principle, there was no problem, but we might be able to make some modifications in details, such as changing ten years to five years...
Speaking of this, there was a clear look of joy on both big businessmen's faces. For them, it is naturally a better choice to master the steamship transformation technology earlier.
As long as Shallow Shui City and Sunset Island are willing to keep the craftsmen in the Western Region, I can also reduce the price by 20%. How about it?
this……
The two of them suddenly hesitated. After all, craftsmen are not so easy to train. Hundreds of people shortened five years, and saved two thousand gold dragons every year. They couldn't say whether this transaction was cost-effective.
Your Majesty, can I discuss it with the other people in the Chamber of Commerce before giving you a reply?Nibelon said.
Of course, Roland made a gesture of asking for advice.
I would also allow me to take my leave for the time being, and Etiye followed him out of the living room.
Then... he looked at Gamore and Marland. The purpose of your trip seemed to be not a steamboat?
Just as the two chambers of commerce were scrambling to discuss business, the representative of the Xinyue Bay was always calm, and occasionally spoke about the past when dealing with Bianfeng Town. It felt that they were not here to discuss business, but to chat about family matters... This kind of sentimental style naturally aroused Roland's curiosity.
No, my respected Majesty, we are also coming for the steamboat, Gamore tasted white wine, but not paddle steamers made of wood.The indestructible steel ship of Qianyue Bay is the one you have created for Lord Thunder.
As soon as these words came out, Margaret's face changed.
Businesswoman Margaret.
