"What is this?" Margery asked curiously, "A new fruit wine?"
"If it's just fruit wine, it won't sell as well as perfume," Nibelung shook his head. .
"That's not necessarily true." Gamore looked at the glass bottle with interest. "Let's not talk about what is in the bottle. This unique container is worth several golden dragons."
"Is it a new product from the Royal Capital Alchemy Association?" Marlan echoed, "I have never seen such a large crystal glass bottle before."
"Appearance is not important, the key lies in the product itself," Roland was a bit dumbfounded for a while. He didn't expect these businessmen to be interested in glass bottles first. Colorless glass is a low-cost mass product as long as the formula is mastered, but he has not dumped glass containers alone. The reason is that the current glass output of Neverwinter City is used by chemical laboratories, perfume factories and beverage factories. .
"It's called Chaos Drink, just like its name, it's chaotic and elusive, and every sip is a unique treat." He cleared his throat and pretended to be mysterious, "I bet you have never tasted anything like it. , If you don’t believe it, try it and you’ll know.”
The three bottles of beverages were carefully selected by Roland from Evelyn's beverage library. Not only did they have their own characteristics, two of them were also specially processed, and one bottle was chilled, so it was cold and refreshing; one bottle was added to Dry ice is the world's first carbonated beverage.
And the result was just as he had expected, just taking a sip, the five businessmen had wonderful expressions on their faces.
"How did this match up?" Etiere smacked his lips, "Compared with one of those fruit wines, there is absolutely no taste at all."
"Look at this green apple juice, it's still breathing... God, is it breathing?"
"Apple? Even with honey, it can't be this sweet!"
The businessmen expressed their opinions one after another, and at the same time, the movements of raising their glasses did not stop at all, drinking one cup after another until the three bottles were empty.
"Hiccup..." Gamore licked his lips, "Your Majesty, this... Chaos drink... is really good!"
"Do you think there will be a market if it is sold as a commodity?"
"Of course!" The Crescent Moon Bay merchant said without hesitation, "Considering the difference in personal taste, the popularity of the three drinks may be slightly different, but they are definitely rare wines! I bet, after tasting it, I am afraid that the top-grade fruit wine from Dawn will be ignored."
"You're being honest," Roland couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth. If ordinary merchants want to buy goods, most of them would pick some flaws to lower the price. Such straightforward compliments are really rare.
"I don't dare to deceive Your Majesty, and I don't want to deceive my tongue." Gamor paused for a moment, "It's just that I don't quite understand one thing."
"Tell me."
"Why did you give it such a weird name?" He picked up the frozen empty bottle, which still had a thin layer of hoarfrost on it, "For example, this... can be called a deep-sea ice fountain, if placed in In summer, I can guarantee it will be at every banquet."
"And that bottle of numb green drink, I think it can be called fish roe nectar. To be honest, the sour and numb feeling that countless small fish break out of their eggs and keep hitting their tongues is really memorable." Ireland added.
"I think so too," Margaery laughed. "While the word Chaos sounds very novel, it doesn't highlight their very different characteristics. If they were named separately, they would sell better.
Roland pretended to be regretful and said, "Unfortunately, as I said before, each sip of these drinks is a unique enjoyment. In fact, these three bottles are the last in stock."
"You mean... can't they be brewed anymore?"
"Yes, I can't tell you the process of making Chaos Drink, but the end result is always changing. If there is one thing they have in common, it is all delicious. That's why I named it Chaos. , no matter what kind of flavor it is, always drink one sip less."
Everyone took a deep breath, and everyone saw incredible in the eyes of the other. Rare is the most precious thing. This drink, which is of excellent quality in itself and cannot be copied, can definitely bring a storm to the fjords... and even the four kingdoms.
"Your Majesty, please give it to me as an agent," Gamor was the first to say, "The fleet of Crescent Moon Bay is all over the Shikoku coast, and only we can bring you the most lucrative returns."
"Hasn't the sea trade center of Crescent Moon Bay always been the Kingdom of Dawn? When did the Yongdong Commercial Road open up?" Qianshui City Chamber of Commerce dismantled the platform.
"Now the merchant ships heading to Wolf Heart and Eternal Winter are obviously the most on Sunset Island. You are deceiving Your Majesty." Aitiye followed closely.
Roland stretched out his hand and interrupted the dispute between the three, "About this matter, let's establish a joint chamber of commerce."
"United... Chamber of Commerce?"
"That's right, in order to avoid the price reduction caused by malicious competition, the participants sit down and negotiate the area they are responsible for, and Neverwinter is only responsible for providing goods." He described the concept of regional agency as much as possible, "You all There are long-running trade routes and sales towns that they are familiar with, so that they can be divided according to their own advantages, so that they can sell goods quickly without competing with their peers. The final sales income is divided according to the proportion stipulated in the contract, In this way, everyone who participates can be guaranteed.”
The reason is very simple, and the merchants here quickly understood, "Sounds good, but how should the specific area and share ratio be divided? Pulling the drink to Yongdong for sale and selling it in the fjord, there is a huge difference in cost between the two. ."
"Transportation costs are of course also factors to be considered, in addition to labor costs, sales prices, and product output... In general, in the case of limited supply, the agent with the highest cost will receive certain preferential treatment. Of course, the details still need to be discussed step by step until all parties involved are satisfied."
At first glance, this will reduce the total revenue, but in fact, after eliminating the vicious competition and adding the advantages of the three chambers of commerce, the profit will be much higher.
Due to the lack of sales channels, many products in Neverwinter are still only available for internal consumption in the convenience market. For Roland, these fjord merchants who made their fortune by reselling goods are the best channel suppliers. In the future, it is undoubtedly the most labor-saving way for him to provide goods and sell them to all corners of the mainland through these maritime merchants.
"I'd like to join," Margaery was the first to express support.
Seeing someone make a statement, others also took the attitude of giving it a try.
"Don't worry, cooperation is always stronger than going alone," Roland smiled. "As long as we work together, this will be a win-win situation for everyone." (.)
