N-A-A Chapter 331
Chapter 331
These merchants under the control of the North Sea Forest have always been profit-seeking and money-hungry people.
They know nothing about "Demonic", let alone what "Demonic" means in Demacia. Because in the face of interests, they don't understand, nor do they want to understand.
In their eyes, only money is the most real thing.
If a thing can bring 50% profit, they will take the risk without hesitation;
If there is a 100% profit, they will trample on all laws and regulations unscrupulously;
And when the profit is as high as 300%, they even dare to challenge any powerful enemy, even at the risk of being hanged.
Jincheng naturally knows the truth.
So this time, he decided to take the lead and set an example and a model.
He wants everyone to clearly realize that trading with Freljord can bring extremely lucrative profits and is worth taking a certain degree of risk for it.
Compared to the nearly half of the caravan members who had returned to the North Sea Forest before,
the merchants or vendors who stayed now all regarded profit as extremely important.
This was obvious, and each of them hid in the gaps in the windbreaks of the cargo.
These people were wrapped in layers of thick warm coats, and their bodies kept curling up and shivering, as if this would make them a little warmer.
But their eyes were bright and full of vitality.
Almost no one cared about the cold environment at this time.
After all, in the country of Demacia, people have long gotten rid of the most basic survival difficulties. It is normal to survive. For the people here, there is nothing more terrible than poverty.
Jin Cheng was sitting in the small team of leading vehicles at the front of the team. The truck he was riding was pulled by two Juvask wild boars about four meters long.
At this moment, he was chatting with the merchant who led the team, and at the same time he was thinking in his heart: When he left, how to ensure the safety of the caravan in trade?
And how to make them trade effectively.
As for what kind of problems may occur in the trade, Jincheng would not care. He just wanted to let the trade road grow and spread like wild grass.
After all, whether it is a black cat or a white cat, as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat!
It is enough to successfully transport the goods to Freljord!
After all, the territory is already implementing another policy that the whole Demacia resists.
In order to increase the population of the North Sea Forest, Jincheng has begun to accept a large number of Freljordians and Noxians who have passed the most preliminary review to enter the territory.
This is very different from the closed Demacia.
"Marcenas, if merchants need to arrange business transactions with the Freljord region themselves in the future, what will you do?"
After a long exchange and in-depth understanding, Jincheng finally asked this question to the merchant who looked burly and strong.
However, this seemingly casual question made Marcenas' heart tremble suddenly. He waved his hands and said with a flattering smile on his face:
"My Lord Viscount! Don't be kidding, there is no such thing as self-organization!
If it weren't for you who were blessed by the gods, how could we have the courage to swallow such a huge profit alone!
This trip is also your credit!"
But Jincheng didn't care about Marcenas' panic, but looked at him with a comforting look, and said very affirmatively:
"You don't have to test me, I really plan to deal with this matter separately, and I don't plan to handle this trade route myself.
However, I will impose additional customs duties on the caravans traveling between Demacia and Freljord. Taxes and protection fees.
These fees are actually insignificant, only a small part of the total profit!
I believe you have heard that we have a deep friendship with the major tribes in the North!
Not only that, even the North Sea Forest, and even the most powerful tribes in Freljord -
Avarosa and Winter Claw will give you shelter.
As long as you act cautiously, the trade between the two sides will basically not encounter too much obstacles.
More importantly, they will never rob you.
It can be said that the biggest problem faced in doing business with the Freljord barbarians has been solved! "
Jin Cheng's frank words, coupled with those very convincing policy measures, instantly stunned Marcenas.
In fact, Marcenas was not unaware of the previous profit situation.
He naturally knewHow did the merchants of Chu seek huge profits? After all, as the saying goes, "All merchants are dishonest"!
However, he had never seen such a business before -
Some people were willing to exchange real food for rare gemstones, real gold and silver, or sharp weapons and brave warriors!
Just this deal with the Avarosa tribe has made Marcenas, who heard about it and even witnessed the treasures being loaded and transported away, salivate.
Such tempting huge benefits made those savvy businessmen unanimously believe that:
The official forces of the North Sea Forest will never sit idly by and watch such a treasure house that spits out gold continuously fall into the hands of others.
But Marcenas realized during the conversation that his lord seemed to have different considerations and seemed to have the intention of letting go.
If Jincheng understood what Marcenas was thinking, he would definitely sigh:
"Too small! Too small!"
In Jincheng's eyes, the so-called profit is just some superficial things. What he values is the deeper interests and the real hard power.
After all, the wealthy Demacia has no shortage of North Sea Forest to farm.
As for money and wealth, it is not within Jincheng's scope of concern.
But if these merchants' spontaneous caravans really successfully complete the trade and are very successful.
Then the one who will benefit the most in the end may be Jincheng himself who controls the entire North Sea Forest.
If the trade fails, the North Sea Forest will not only have no losses, but will also be able to collect a considerable amount of additional taxes.
After all, Jincheng is always most concerned about the improvement of the military strength of his own territory.
"Sir! Are you serious?"
Marcenas could no longer suppress his excitement. He wiped the snot from his nose with his wide sleeves and asked Jincheng tremblingly.
"Of course, but I still need to confirm one thing.
If the North Sea Forest really implements this policy, how many people will really be willing to organize caravans to travel between the two places?"
Jincheng was not so blindly confident that everything would be done as long as this policy was introduced.
Because the final decision-making power is actually in the hands of those merchants and those who are eager to get rich.
It is true that the journey back and forth is extremely difficult and rugged, and it is difficult to walk; and the so-called guarantee of the safety of the caravan and avoiding danger are just empty talk.
The actual situation is often that once a weak caravan encounters a crisis on the ice field, it can be said that no one will respond to it, and there is no way out!
And if it were not for Jincheng, it would often take months to go back and forth.
Although there are huge benefits involved, the difficulties faced by preparing a caravan on your own are endless.
That is why Jin Cheng asked such a question.
Seeing Jin Cheng's sincere face and sincere words, Marcenas gritted his teeth and said resolutely:
"Sir! If you really want to support us to trade with Freljord!
Others don't know! But for me, after returning this time, I will definitely spend all my family wealth, quickly gather manpower, form a new caravan, and purchase all kinds of necessary materials!
I will set off for Freljord immediately!"
The businessman was obviously deeply shocked by the astonishingly high profits.
As the saying goes, everyone has to die, some are heavier than Mount Tai, and some are lighter than a feather.
If there is really an opportunity to get rich overnight, how many people can restrain their inner impulse and willingly give up this opportunity to try their hand?
After all, wealth and honor are sought in danger.
"I understand! Actually, I am just chatting with you casually. We have to wait for the relevant business laws to be promulgated in the territory before we can know the specific situation!"
