"I'm coming!"
"President Sedum, are you going to make a big purchase today?"
"Our Chamber of Commerce's ivory products just arrived in Lisbon today. Is President Sedum interested?"
Sedum, who was originally treated coldly when he walked into the exchange, has become the most popular person in the exchange before he knew it, and he was immediately surrounded by a group of enthusiastic and smiling businessmen as soon as he appeared.
(It's still crowded today~~ Mmmm, this kind of rich feeling is so good~~!) Sedum in his heart also showed the fake smile that this group is good at, "Purchasing must continue, but it must start. Choose the products carefully, after all, no matter how large the cargo space of the "God of Fortune" is, there are space limitations."
This is a lie. All the goods purchased in accordance with the rules of the [Merchant Ship System] can be put into the dimensional box and directly to the warehouse box located in the "Main World", and there is no problem at all. It can even be said that the "Fortune" has no real cargo space at all, only a few spare rooms for stacking large debris.
Now it's just to find a suitable reason to guide the merchants to send the goods they want.
"I can understand, I can understand." The merchants in the exchange nodded, but they felt regretful in their hearts.
Although Sedum has not revealed his intention to leave Lisbon, "Fortune Chamber of Commerce" will leave sooner or later, and they will lose a good customer with a lot of money.
"Then... President Sedum?" The merchants are now more concerned about the question, "What is the so-called 'careful selection of products'...?"
"Ah~ I've already asked the sailors to prepare, write on the small board, and update it regularly every day." As a person from another world, even if the language patch pack is on, the characters are still not good, so let the artificial people find an indigenous ghostwriter. Well, "Now let's talk about it verbally."
"First, no food."
"The Main World" produces a wide variety of food, vegetables, fruits, and meat, and Villager A is planning to expand production. Unless you encounter food with special attributes, you do not need to supplement it.
"Second, no ore and wood are accepted."
"Main World" is not useful, and it is not easy to sell it in various different worlds.
"Third, no muskets, no armor."
This is purely a weapon and armor of this era that I don't like. The things synthesized by the MC system are incomparable and have no value in use.
"Fourth, don't use cotton fabrics, fleece fabrics... We will add them later."
This is simply because too much stock has been entered, and there is no need to continue to stock up.
"Specially designated item, cannon."
In fact, it's useless at all. To Sedum, the cannons of this era are just toys. But he deliberately left the gun port and related parts in the design, and even the redstone circuit was involved. Wouldn't he be busy if he didn't put something on it
"Well, that's it for now~~" Sedum laughed.
"That's all, ahaha~~" The profiteers also smiled.
…
As mentioned before, this journey is not a "business" in the true sense, but a unilateral "purchasing" to enrich the supply for later use. However, through the preliminary field investigation of the artificial man, it cannot be said that he can know all aspects of the world, but he can barely know the situation in Europe. Based on this, the tentative goal is to [replace all unused gold and lapis lazuli with all parts of the world. Products of].
Just the question - how to achieve the above goals quickly and efficiently
Driving the "God of Fortune" at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour and sailing past coastal cities one by one to buy local specialties? This is obviously impractical, and after traveling around the world without knowing the past few years, Leeds can't accept that such a boring day will continue for too long.
Entrust a specific chamber of commerce, such as the "Custer Road Chamber of Commerce" that had a pleasant transaction before, to arrive in a certain city to buy specific goods and bring them back? This saves a considerable amount of time. They can entrust multiple merchants to run errands for themselves at the same time~ but it is not the fastest and most convenient way.
Sima Yi suggested that they should stay in Lisbon first, and buy at high prices as long as they are suitable products, and even use the highest purchase price allowed by the system if necessary, so as to make the "God of Fortune Chamber of Commerce" famous. The merchants of this world, smelling the profit, will spontaneously bring their wares to Lisbon for a piece of the pie.
There is no doubt that this operation is very economical, and in disguise, the total amount of final goods is reduced by a large amount. It’s just like taking a bus to work costs a few dollars, and walking by yourself is free. Few people will get up more than an hour early every day for the few dollars and walk to work, right? It is normal to trade money for time.
However, even if they have unlimited gold, they can't make Lisbon a super economic center that can attract businessmen from all over the world, let alone attract goods from all over the world to Lisbon. I also know that it is completely impossible for an Asian businessman to come to Europe to sell you a few cabins of rice. No buyer will be willing to bear such a huge transportation cost, and no seller will be willing to pay for it. Take the money out of your wallet. Therefore, the fame of "Fortune Chamber of Commerce" created by this method can only affect the North Sea region and the Mediterranean region at most, and it is still unknown how far it can affect it.
Since the scope of influence is limited, when they think that the goods in this area are almost purchased, they will leave Lisbon and repeat the same action in a brand new area. This sailing time is inevitable after all.
And now, this plan is underway, and the fame of a local tyrant businessman from a certain country in the east has spread to Genoa.
…
"Yah ah ah~~ Although it was just a whim to see what happened, I didn't expect the atmosphere to be so good." Leeds, who has been hanging around with her family, is always lingering in the shopping street. Today is the first time I have come to the legendary transaction. Place.
The shopping street is a retail store, and the exchange is a wholesale center. It's almost like this, not a place for consumers to come.
"Is that so? I only saw a group of profiteers surrounding an outside profiteer, and they kept praising their virtues." Zhang Jing teased.
"This is the value of his existence~~ I will definitely give up the operation for fear of trouble, and one person needs to work tirelessly to maintain the normal operation of the [merchant shipping system], and what changes will the [merchant shipping system] bring, you guessed it. Guess."
Murong Jiu said dissatisfiedly: "Hmph, we Murong family can do the same thing."
"That's not the same... it's not the same..."
One is out of interest, the other is out of power, how could it be the same.
If the Murong family is in charge, the merchant ship will be crooked sooner or later.
