Chapter 489 Business Tips

A large number of ships, mostly transport ships, arrived at the outpost located in the northern part of Qingyan Port.

After the war came to an end, many soldiers received their first vacation in years and prepared to return to Ulthuan for three months of short leisure.

The same was true for Mrs. Kislev, whose employment period had ended. The loot in the cabin was enough for any pirate to peek. In order to ensure the safety of her return to the old world, she spent a lot of money to hire a small fleet to escort her.

These poor people can finally support themselves by saying that I am rich and they are no longer struggling for a piece of potato like they used to be.

Mazov gave his last words to his old friend at the port, "Remember, when you come back, please bring hope."

Although he was confused, Rascal nodded and waved goodbye to the people on the ship. It was only two years and would pass soon.

A sound of farewell began to be heard, and some soldiers who had established a friendship with Mrs. Kisli played music and accompanied the drumbeats to give her farewell words. This departure meant that they might never see each other again in this life.

Flowers are sprinkled on the sea, and as the ripples of the ship set sail, they float to all corners of the world.

Although he was a little reluctant to leave, Rascal was still ready to face the future life. When he was about to leave, he found a familiar figure standing not far away.

He took a few steps forward and greeted loudly,

"Oliveira, why are you here? Didn't you get a ticket to return home?"

Oliveira stopped waving, and when she heard these ridiculing words, her face turned grim.

"Pay attention to your identity, Raskol. My position in the army is two levels higher than yours. You should call me sir or captain."

But Raskol curled his lips in disdain, "Sorry, I am no longer a soldier, so there is no reason for me to salute you."

These words made Oliveira suddenly remember that he was no longer an officer, and suddenly he felt tragic.

"Forget it, let's not argue with you, a barbarian. What are you going to do next?"

"I will go to Tal Khaled with the prince to study at the academy for two years, and then return home to establish a chamber of commerce to find a place to make a living for the Cretonians who have lost their homes."

Oliveira, who was unaware of the palace plan, agreed with this idea. Although he did not participate in the Great Holy War, he still knew what kind of place Kislev was from chatting with others along the way.

"Well, to be honest, I agree with this plan. If you want to establish a chamber of commerce, you'd better ask Mr. Ed Tellis to provide some support."

"That's for sure. Lord Edtelis also agrees with my plan, but..."

"Just what?"

Raskol recalled that Edtelis had a strange expression. Maybe it was because the Dragon Prince felt that he had no business acumen, so that was why he was like this.

After thinking about it, he answered Oliveira,

"Maybe he thought I lacked some business acumen and was afraid that I would lose all the money I gained during my employment."

As they talked, the two began to walk side by side towards the south. Oliveira gave some trivial insights into this situation,

"I have summarized a few reasons why Caledo has developed so rapidly in the past few years. Considering your previous performance, I can give you a reference."

"Please tell me." Raskol was a little curious. Oliveira was a good person, somewhat similar to himself, and both liked to think.

However, he prefers to think about some more abstract things. For example, when he was in the southern Great Forest Sea, he made many incisive, but very strange insights into the relationship between the Sotek Sect and the Rat People.

Oliveira cleared her throat and told what everyone knew.

"First of all, you have to have something that others don't have in order to be profitable. For example, the magic equipment produced by Vaal's Anvil is priced at one thousand gold leaf coins by the palace. That's one thousand gold leaf coins. I think it's high, so it's the same price. .”

Raskol nodded to express his understanding, but there was a small doubt in his mind. One thousand gold leaf coins, and the total salary of each mercenary is three hundred gold leaf coins. Converting this into gold coins used by Kislev, it can roughly There are about four hundred and fifty.

Including various other things that were obtained, almost each person had about five hundred gold leaf coins, which meant that just one thing from Val's Anvil was worth sixteen years' salary.

"Secondly, it must have a reputation. The Val Anvil paired with Caledor is the largest ordnance manufacturing site paired with the strongest military kingdom. No one dares to doubt its quality."

"So I need to find some supplies that others don't have, and they are urgently needed by the market. I also need to let people understand that this thing is definitely worth the money." Lascole briefly concluded, but Oliveira meant more than just in this way.

"No, no, no, the most important thing is that you have the ability to overturn the table and not follow the rules set by others."

"For example, Lothern was the only legal foreign trade location in Ulthuan before. The prince did not use this trade route and created a separate Whelping Bay. There is no way to build large-scale industrial zones in Caledor, so Come to Lustria to do it. In the end, a lot of gold coins will flow to the palace, otherwise how could it support such frequent wars."

Apparently Rascal began to understand the meaning of these words and couldn't help but give Oliveira a thumbs up.

"What you said makes sense. The scarcity of supplies in the front is okay. But the latter point seems to lack practical significance. Whoever has such strong strength as the prince can give him two slaps in the face if he is unhappy."

Oliveira chuckled, thinking that Manzi's vision was too short-sighted.

"Haha, let me tell you a statistic. Let's not talk about the Phoenix King's Court. The Etain Noble Council inadvertently revealed the financial report ten years ago. Just the income earned by the kingdoms from leasing the docks in Lothern and from the flow of goods. The price difference, the net interest rate for one year is 700,000 gold leaf coins."

This astronomical figure was a bit dumbfounding. When Raskol learned that Ed Tellis had given him 30,000 gold leaf coins, he thought it was the most money he had ever seen in his life. However, he did not expect that just for renting the pier, There are also some commodity prices that can result in such high profits.

"Of course, due to the price problem in Itaien, these gold leaf coins have some moisture, but gold will not deceive people. It can shine the light of the gods wherever it is placed." Oliveira explained for a moment, looking at the The stunned barbarian smiled disdainfully and said,

"There are still many things you have to consider. Don't think that you can live a stable and worry-free life by returning to Kislev with this money. If you just want to make a living, then buy a piece of land to grow potatoes, and you will be guaranteed People in my hometown will not starve to death, but if they want to live a good life..."

Thinking of something, Oliveira chose to shut up, looked at the entrance of the outpost, turned around, and said his final farewell to the barbarian.

"I still have something to do, so I'll go ahead. I wish you a good experience in Kalede."

Without waiting for Rascal to ask specifically what he meant, Oliveira immediately ran towards the inn, for fear of touching any sensitive topics next.

"What on earth does he mean?" Rascal felt a little confused about Oliveira's thoughts. He talked about business methods, and vaguely revealed an urge to flip the table.

Forget it, just take it one step at a time. If you have money in your hand, don’t panic about anything.

After thinking about it, the former sergeant walked slowly towards Qingyan Port in the south, taking a carriage along the way, moving closer to hope, or maybe despair.
