ALL NOVEL Chapter 285
...
Nearly half a month later, the two caravans that went out also came back, one day apart.
During this period, Tom transformed more than a dozen merchant ships. At this time, the number of merchant ships flying the goldfish flag of the Bulla Chamber of Commerce in the inner harbor had increased to more than twenty! Fortunately, the inner bay of the Bird's Nest is large enough, so it won't be crowded even if hundreds of boats dock there.
(I don’t know why the"whale" flag failed to pass the test and had to use the goldfish flag.)
In the castle hall, several people who had returned were reporting to Captain Geer some basic information about the outbound trade.
Tezzolo stood up and began to say:
"Captain, our goods are very popular.
Almost all of them are sold out on the first day they arrive.
It takes no effort at all, and this quantity is not enough to meet the market demand.
On the contrary, it takes a lot to buy all the needed items.
time, and our production costs and transportation costs are very low, so even if we sell it at about 30% lower than the market price, the profit will be nearly 200%.
The total profit of the 12 ships in this trip alone is 1.
245 billion Bailey, if there are more islands trading with us in the future and the scale of the fleet becomes larger, how many Baileys will we earn in a year? Assuming that there are 100 ships and one cargo trip per month, it can produce more than 120 billion beli in a year!
It's really amazing.
Stella helped Captain Geer pour tea while looking at Tezzolo with a smile, who was dancing and gesticulating excitedly.
Geer blew the hot air in the cup, took a sip of tea and smiled:
"Haha, the structure of Tezzolo is too small. Even if a hundred cargo ships are not enough, there must be at least a few thousand. When the name of our chamber of commerce becomes powerful in the sea, we can also expand our business to the second half of the Great Route and all over the world. By then, tens of thousands of cargo ships may not be able to get through."
"Nani? Tens of thousands of cargo ships?"
Everyone was shocked by Captain Geer's huge appetite.
"Black hee hee hee! He is truly worthy of being Boss Geer! The perspective is just different!"
"However, our focus is still on the Grand Route. As long as there is money to be made, there will naturally be merchants who resell and help us spread the goods to every corner of the world."
Mossan didn't show too much surprise. He was the first to understand the blueprint of Captain Geer's huge business empire. He calmly took a sip of tea, stroked his mustache and said:
"Captain, I think that every time we open up the market of an island, we can set up a stronghold on the island to establish long-term and stable trade, directly buy a larger shop, and hire some local clerks and shopkeepers to take care of it.
The fleet only needs to be responsible for transportation, and they can also buy and prepare the things they usually need to purchase in advance.
In this way, when the fleet arrives at the place, it only needs to unload and load the cargo and then return immediately.
It is much more convenient and can also save time and cost!
"
Oh? Are you planning to open a chain of specialty stores?
Geer's eyes lit up when he heard this. This fat boy Mo Sang is indeed a very business-minded talent. It would be such a waste to be a rich man in Xiluobu Village, Donghai.
"Not bad! Your idea is very good and can be implemented, but you need to carefully check the recruitment. If you can open stores on all islands, these people can be developed into our informants in the future and help us collect all kinds of intelligence from around the world!"
Ger nodded affirmatively and said
"Boss, this time we have killed a total of 11 groups of pirates. One of them was a pirate captain with a bounty of 100 million beli. We brought him back. I want to use his shadow, but if it turns into a toy If so, his deeds will disappear from the sea, will it affect our plan?"
Molia said with some distress. It's really not easy to find a few decent pirates in the first half of this period, with bounties worth at least hundreds of millions.
"It’s okay, there’s no shortage of these one or two, just take them and use them first."
Ger waved his hand casually and said
"Black hee hee hee, good boss"
"Okay, let's develop the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce slowly like this. The fleet and manpower can't be rushed for a while. You must learn to let things go, set up the shelf as soon as possible, and then step aside to take charge of the overall situation behind the scenes. Just grasp the general direction. Don’t do everything yourself. You can’t always follow us to the sea. Wherever we can run, we have many other things to do."
"It's the captain!"
Everyone responded in unison.
You will realize that there are still too few talents when you need to use them! Take your time.
Geer shook his head and sighed. There are many things he wants to do. If there are not enough manpower to carry out them all at once, it will be easy to lose pace. Too big to pull the balls
"Captain, this time I brought back more than a dozen permanent pointers, including 6 islands that are relatively close to our place, and 4 targets with towns and cities suitable for trade. I think this trip went smoothly and there is no need After resting, we can set sail tomorrow after loading the cargo. Now there are about ten more ships and one more trip can earn more than 2 billion!"
Tezolo enjoyed this kind of happiness of making money and immediately took the initiative to apply for overtime work.
"No, the Chinese New Year will be here in a few days. I have to stay and rest after this trip. I can’t do other things until after the Chinese New Year. I can’t make enough money. How can anyone work overtime on New Year’s Eve and Spring Festival! Too much."
Ger directly refused.
"New Year? Captain, what is Chinese New Year? What else is New Year's Eve and Spring Festival?"
Hearing that Geer said so seriously, everyone asked in confusion
"Um, aren't you here for the Chinese New Year? It’s about welcoming the new year."
Seeing everyone's blank expressions, Geer said:
"It doesn't matter if you don't know, just listen to me. From now on, the last day of the year is called New Year's Eve. On New Year's Eve, all family members will get together to have a New Year's Eve dinner. The first day of the new year is called Spring Festival, and also Lively and joyful……"
Hearing what Captain Geer meant, these two days were of great significance and needed to be celebrated. Everyone nodded in understanding, but thinking that January 1st seemed to be Captain Geer’s birthday, it was indeed necessary for everyone to celebrate. Get together and celebrate.
So, in the next few days, everyone on the island, under the command of Captain Geer, began to prepare for the New Year and was very busy.
"A little higher, a little higher, that’s it! stop! that's all!"
"Hoho, how about Benshan, my Franky flight mode! Are you super envious? ?"
"Yes Yes Yes!"
Bingshan commanded Franky, who turned into a small helicopter, to hang the big lantern high in the castle.
When they heard that the festival was going to be celebrated, the children were the most happy and actively ran to help. They got a lantern from Captain Geer. There were a lot of lanterns, ribbons and other decorations, and they began to play freely according to their ideas and carefully decorated the castle.
Standing in front of the door and looking at it, the Gothic castle door was pasted with red Spring Festival couplets, which looked out of place, but it was out of place. I nodded with satisfaction.
"Not bad!"
"May you have peace and good luck all year round, may your family be happy and make a fortune. Horizontal comment: Lucky star shines brightly!"
It's perfect except that Geer's handwriting is a bit ugly.
Everyone wearing new clothes was sitting in the hall happily. The steaming New Year's Eve dinner on the dining table was full of aroma. Chef Feite carefully prepared plates of delicious food. Food adds a lot of warmth to this festival that symbolizes reunion, harmony and beauty....
