Release that Witch - Chapter 1062

[Chapter 1040 Victor’s Plan]

As the biggest contributor to the increase in food production, the story of Ye Zi has long been written in the “Witch Diaries” in the form of comic strips.

Such pamphlets are sold in convenience markets, and it is not uncommon for foreign businessmen to know her existence.

However, he is the first one to name and hope to cooperate with witches. Unlike the fjords, which advocate adventure, the four continents are more influenced by the church and have a much deeper prejudice against witches. Now some people are willing to take the initiative to contact witches. , Roland also became somewhat interested.

After flipping through the letter, he touched his chin, “It’s from Chenxi… You should know his address, right?”

“Yes,” Barov said, “he has records in the administrative office. I also asked Ms. Scroll to check the tax payment records, and found that his records can be traced back to six years ago. But at that time his business was mainly acquisitions. Rough jewelry, and occasionally some furs, have nothing to do with cotton.”

“Interesting.” Roland knew very well how rudimentary the tax system of this era was. It was completely recorded by the tax collectors. After a long time, even he himself could not figure it out, let alone check it.

In addition, the resident property owners are lucky, after all, the fields are there and they cannot escape, and businessmen who move frequently have many ways to avoid the “exploitation” of the local lords.

Leaving tax records means that the other party is honest and trustworthy, which is an uncommon quality among businessmen.

“Call Victor to the castle,” he put down the letter, “I want to talk to him alone.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

…

Roland soon saw the businessman in the living room.

He does have the characteristics of a person from Chenxi. Like Andrea, he has light golden hair; his facial features are at the upper level, and his skin is well maintained; his gestures are completely aristocratic, and his etiquette is just right. Know that the family is rich.

It is hard to imagine that such a person needs to travel between the two countries for their livelihood.

Even if it is a large-scale trade, it can be handed over to reliable hands instead of choosing to do it yourself.

After all, no matter how rich you are in this era, long-distance travel is not an easy job.

The other party also explained this appropriately-family disputes.

In order to avoid his brother’s oppression and to prove his ability, he had no choice but to say goodbye to his hometown and come to Graycastle to run his business.

Although this part of the story was rather vague, Roland did not continue to ask.

In any case, it was his private matter, and he was not very interested.

The fact that Nightingale didn’t respond also meant that the businessman wasn’t lying.

After listening to the introduction, Roland went straight to the topic, “You want the leaves to cultivate high-yield cotton seeds, but the ultimate goal is to create a brand new clothing store and spread it to the entire kingdom with the advantages of high quality and low price?”

This is also one of the reasons why he decided to summon Victor—not because he had too many associations, but because it was written at the end of the letter.

It’s as if someone submitted a business plan with a fundraising target of 1 billion, and now you are short of 500 yuan.

“It’s not just the Kingdom of Graycastle,” the merchant nodded. “I’ve calculated the price. Even if the final product is shipped to Dawn, it will still be competitive.”

Low-price dumping is indeed a magic weapon to seize the market, but…it is not an easy thing to achieve.

“How do you guarantee that it will be of high quality and low price?”

“First of all, I need special cotton, Your Majesty.” Victor said enthusiastically, “Since Miss Leaf can grow three times the yield of golden wheat, then I think she should also be able to triple the yield of cotton—if The price of raw materials can be reduced to one-third of the current price, and the clothes can also be much cheaper.”

Roland couldn’t help laughing. This logic seems impeccable, but if you think about it carefully, it will make people feel ridiculous.

High-yielding cotton is not a difficult task for Ye Zi. With the support of the vast magic power of the heart of the forest, her cultivation time can be further shortened. Consider instead that it doesn’t sell for a high price.

People can’t eat enough to cause big problems, but cotton is not like this-it has linen, coarse cloth and animal skins in front of it.

“Well… even if the leaves do triple the cotton yield, why don’t I sell it to other merchants for three times as much instead of selling it to you at a lower price?”

“Because I can save you a lot of upfront investment and provide jobs for more than 2,000 people.” Victor didn’t pause for a moment, “Besides, you can also get a steady stream of generous taxes, the people You can also benefit from it-all of this does not require you to bother to operate, just leave it to me.”

It has to be said that Roland was once again surprised by this extremely modern answer, and it took him a while before he said, “These rhetoric…you all read it from newspapers?”

“Also, I have carefully read every promotional announcement in Neverwinter – although many words are a bit of a mouthful to read at first, they really let me see the meaning of business from another aspect.” Victor caressed Chest said, “If it is other lords, this kind of self-reduction proposal will only drive me out of the door, but if it is you, I don’t think it will be realized.”

This is a novel way of complimenting… If we drive him out now, wouldn’t he become what he called “other lords”?

Roland raised the corner of his mouth slightly, “Then tell me about your plan.”

Afterwards, Victor talked about it for nearly an hour, and UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com obviously made sufficient preparations in advance.

His idea is not complicated. To put it simply, it is to build a business system that integrates planting, weaving, and sales. The Lothar family has a long history of making clothes, so experience and technology are not a problem.

As long as the project is officially launched, results will be seen soon.

Of course, anyone can draw big cakes, and the reason why Roland kept listening was because of his consideration of many details-Neverwinter City is not suitable for growing cotton, so this part of the industry will be concentrated in the southern border along with textile production.

There is abundant sunshine, high temperature throughout the year, and the migration of sand people will bring a large number of laborers. The conditions in all aspects are very suitable.

Sewing and clothing departments are set up in Neverwinter, which has higher purchasing power.

Whether it is renting and purchasing fields, recruiting growers, or investing in textile factories and equipment in the early stage, Victor will bear all the investment, and Neverwinter City does not need to bear any risks.

In addition to providing high-yield seeds, the whole process is in a positive profit state.

In addition, because the cotton has a single use, the output can be estimated from the purchase quantity, so the taxation is also very convenient, which can reduce a lot of burdens for both parties.

Among these details, there are two things that Roland is more interested in: one is the high-efficiency spinning tool mentioned by the other party, which can handle cotton processing work under three times the output.

The second is that the Lothar family has a group of seasoned tailors who often design clothes for the nobles of Glory City, which can ensure that the finished products are widely loved by the public.

Victor also admitted that he came up with this idea after watching “Wolfheart” and found that the clothes of the people of Neverwinter are still in a very simple stage, without the demeanor that a king should have at all.

These two points can be said to be the key to the whole plan. With them, this huge and ambitious system is no longer a castle in the air, but has considerable feasibility.
