Chapter 587 Time Is Money!

Doron is the owner of a small trading house in the mountain city of Bein. He mainly deals in dry goods, wine and jewelry. He only operates the business line from Bein to Preston. He transports local dry goods and wine from Bein to Preston. Sell ​​it in Preston and make a profit, and then buy some cheap gem embryos, the by-products of mining ores, from Preston, transport them back to Bein and sell them to processors to make another profit.

Since he will also buy furs, herbs and other things in some villages and towns on the way, it usually takes about ten days for him to go back and forth between two cities. If everything goes well, he can usually make about a hundred gold coins after deducting the cost, and he can travel up to three times a month. One trip is an income of three hundred gold coins. For Bein, this net income is already quite good.

It's a pity that compared with those big business houses, his small business is not very profitable.

But these days, Duolong is in a good mood because he has boarded the big ship of the Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce!

When he first saw the magic furniture launched by the Datang Chamber of Commerce, he was shocked. Later, when the Datang Chamber of Commerce began to promote bicycles in large quantities, Duolong decisively spent a lot of money to buy out Preston's exclusive agent. Quan, he now transports three batches of bicycles to Preston every month. Every time they arrive, they are sold out. The market is so hot that it is indescribable.

After he paid a large amount of agency fees, his income increased instead of falling. He could earn two thousand gold coins every month, nearly seven times more than before. When he returned home, his wives and concubines all smiled. More, this income is more, and his waist is straighter, how can he be unhappy?

Today is another day for him to set out to deliver goods, but the difference from before is that this time he is going to take a brand new path.

Although he was very familiar with the old road and could even walk back and forth with his eyes closed, after learning that the new road was built by the Datang Chamber of Commerce, Duolong, who had become a big fan of the Datang Chamber of Commerce, did not hesitate to sign a long-term contract. The contract resulted in an extremely favorable prevailing price.

In the morning, Doron got up from the bed of a concubine, teasing the maids and enjoying their service. After washing and eating, he left the house amidst the farewells of his wife and concubines, and came to his small business. middle.

"Are the goods ready?"

"Report to the boss, everything is ready. The Datang Chamber of Commerce delivered all the goods to the warehouse yesterday."

"Look at people, they do everything in advance. No wonder they can make a lot of money. You have to study hard."

Duolong is now a senior fan of the Datang Chamber of Commerce. He has been studying the business philosophy and management methods of the Datang Chamber of Commerce. He will say a few words every now and then, and the employees have become accustomed to it.

After loading all the bicycles onto the trucks and feeding the horses with enough fodder, a row of trucks left the business one after another.

At this time, the door of the business store next door also opened, and a lean guy looked at Doron with a sarcastic expression: "Hey, isn't this Boss Doron? He wants to go into business again, or is it Preston?"

Duolong's old face fell and he said angrily: "What advice does Boss Gary have?"

Gali and Duolong are old enemies. They both do similar things, but Gali's vision and luck are not as good as Duolong's. He didn't seize the opportunity to board the ship of Datang Chamber of Commerce at the beginning. He ridiculed Doron for being crazy, but it later turned out that he was blind.

Duolong is crazy, and he is making crazy money.

So Gary was jealous.

"I don't take it as advice, but I heard that the road from Bein to Preston has been rough recently. Boss Dolon must be careful."

Gali looked at Doron with gloating: "After the lord of Abalon was beheaded by the new king, peace has not yet settled over Abalon. It is said that the temporary acting ruler is under the former Duke of Cross. General Justin, who was born in the military, was particularly ruthless, and all the bandits and bandits in Abalon were forced to the area around Preston and Paganis.”

Duolong said calmly: "Thank you for your concern, I think there will be no problem with me."

"I hope so, but you are too stingy if you don't even hire guards this time? Do you want to use your employees to block the knife?"

The strange sound and angry look of Gali made Doron want to punch him in the face. This guy must be cursing himself to die early on the road, but this time he will miscalculate.

"Don't worry about it."

Duolong sneered and set off with the convoy.

Gali was startled and asked subconsciously: "Boss Duolong, where are you going? The official road is over there."

Duolong deliberately asked with a surprised look on his face: "You don't know?"

"what do you know?"

"Boss Gary, it seems your news is really out of date."

Duolong sneered and said: "Official way? From today on, it will be Lao Huangli. From now on, I will not take the official way. We will meet again in four days."

After saying that, Duolong turned around and left, leaving Gali there with a confused look on his face.

See you in four days? What a joke!

The two of them have been fighting openly and secretly for so long. As soon as Doron sticks out his butt, he will know what he is going to do. It will be at least ten days before he goes to Preston and comes back. Four days later? How could I meet him again if I didn't go to Preston?

However, after thinking about it, Gali felt something was wrong, so he hurriedly ran to his clerk to inquire about the information of the past two days. Just at this moment, the dispatcher from Datang Daily arrived, and Gali suddenly became energetic. There must be something in it. New news he didn't know!

As a result, as soon as he took the newspaper, Gary's hand shook, he couldn't breathe, and almost lost his breath.

Front page headline news: Congratulations to the Datang Chamber of Commerce for the opening of its first expressway! Start now, the world is no longer far away!

Gary took a deep breath and continued to look down. The more he looked, the more frightened he became.

"... From now on, the first expressway in Purandal, the Eppa Expressway, is officially open to traffic. The expressway is funded by Star Diamond Bank, with full technical support provided by Ellington, and safety guaranteed by the Dragon Clan. The world is no longer far away, and it is safe. It can be seen that Dragon Clan’s reputation and quality are guaranteed!”

"Ellington-Bein-Preston-Paganis..."

Seeing the detailed description of this route, Gary's heart suddenly tightened. Damn it, this damn highway can actually save two-thirds of the time! ? Although it costs money to use the expressway, it saves two-thirds of the time!

time is money!

This goblin's famous saying is known to many businessmen and is regarded as a golden word.

What does saving two thirds of time mean? It means more opportunities, greater profits, and more flexible response space!

Taking Duolon as an example, he could only make three trips a month on the trade route from Bein to Preston, but after saving two-thirds of the time, he could make eight or nine trips a month!

Then the money he makes will have to be doubled several times! ?

Gary is jealous, but what's the use of being jealous? The only highway at present, the Eppa Highway, has nothing to do with his trade route. His fixed trade route is from Bein to Matar in the northeast. There is no road construction at all, even if he is jealous, it is useless!

"This lucky guy!"

Gary cursed secretly, why was he blind in the first place? There was obviously a chance to win an agency, but just because I went against that guy, I missed a great opportunity!

"No, if the Datang Chamber of Commerce invites investment next time, even if you don't give up this old face, you must find a way to get an agency right!"

Ga Li secretly swore in his heart that he didn't know how much money Duolong had made in the past six months, but he saw that the door of the other party's house was replaced with a new one, the wall was torn down and rebuilt, and the yard was renovated. He even added a few new concubines to warm the bed, so he almost had to replace his wife with new ones. This shows that he definitely made a lot of money!

Not only the agency rights, if the highway is built to Matar next time, he will also be the first to get a long-term contract, so that the guy will never be proud again!

Duolon didn't know how Gali was feeling now, he only knew that he was happy.

Very cool.

"Boss, this highway is really extraordinary!"

Duolong's employees said with a face of surprise: "The trucks behind were able to keep up with our carriage steadily. We didn't have to wait for them, and it didn't seem to be shaking at all, and we didn't have to worry about the loss of wine bottles. And You don’t even need to replace the wheel hubs and axles, which can save a lot of money!”

"That's natural. It's produced by the Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce. Can it not be a high-quality product?"

Duolong smiled happily. At first, he only counted the time saved, but he forgot that such a flat road has reduced the loss of goods and vehicles, and the maintenance costs have also dropped a lot. It seems that the profit can be increased a lot.

"Everyone, do a good job. I will give you a salary increase when I come back this time. This month, everyone will receive an extra bonus of fifty silver coins!"

"Oh! Long live the boss!"

The employees cheered loudly, and their admiration and cheers made Doron satisfied, and he turned around and got back into the carriage.

Such a smooth and smooth road made his sleepiness come out again. He worked on the newly acquired concubine for most of the night last night, and he was a little weak. He just happened to be able to get some sleep.

As a result, as soon as Duolong fell asleep, he heard a loud shout from outside.

"What happened?"

The employees were shocked: "Boss! Oh no! It's bandits! They want to destroy the outer wall and rush in!"

"Destroying the highway's facade?"

Duolong's expression suddenly became extremely strange. He glanced at the bandits who were running wildly with the convoy outside. He couldn't help laughing and made a mocking gesture to the bandits outside: "If they have the guts, let them Let’s do it, this outer wall has been strengthened by dragon clan’s magic. Just these rabble-rousers want to break down the outer wall? It’s just a daydream.”

In fact, as Duolong said, these bandits had nothing to do with the thin outer wall. The swords could not even leave traces when they hit it, and the arrows could not penetrate the wall. The entire road was blocked by powerful air strikes. protected by magic.

Seeing the clown-like bandit, Duolong curled up his lips and smiled even more happily.

The Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce really made an extraordinary move!
