"Then according to my father, how much can this kind of refined sugar be sold for?"
Leylin put down the tray of sugar in his hand and looked at Baron Jonas.
"It should be at least ten times the price of jaggery! If it weren't for the fear of attracting the backlash and covetousness of others, I even think it can be sold for twenty times!"
Baron Jonas closed his eyes for a moment before answering in the affirmative.
"Then leave the matter about sales channels to Father!"
Leylin smiled and nodded.
Once this kind of refined cube sugar enters the market, the impact will be huge, but how to grasp the proportion, even find a backer for himself, transfer profits, build an alliance of interests, etc., how can Leylin compare with his rich trading experience? What about Baron Jonas
"I also saw the canned fish floss before, it's very good!"
Baron Jonas looked at his son, with indescribable emotion in his eyes: "Oh...you really created a big problem for father! Such a big profit..."
Although he was sighing, the smile on the baron's face could not be concealed.
As a child, Leylin always gave him unexpected surprises.
…
With enough manpower and material resources, the fish floss and sugar trade that Leylin had been looking forward to finally started to flourish.
Baron Jonas understood very well that such a huge profit was not something his family could eat, so he directly used these two commodities to win over several small nobles who were also in the fief overseas, as well as the local faction forces he had recently hooked up with, and sold them out. A large part of the profits finally dragged them into the water, and they jointly bear the resulting backlash.
As soon as the exquisite white sugar from Faolan Island entered the market, the impact it brought was even beyond the baron's imagination.
The pure sweetness was like a heavenly enjoyment, which immediately conquered many nobles and made them crazily pursue this luxury.
The profit in the first month alone reached an astonishing two thousand gold kroes!
Although the trade of fish floss is not so popular, the response from the market is also very good. It is convenient and easy to eat, and has the advantage of being resistant to preservation. It has been sought after by many mercenaries and adventurers, and even some soldiers of the kingdom Fang also showed interest.
Is there any need to say more about the profits in military supplies
With these two freeways full of golden wealth, the entire Faolan Island began to be built at a rapid speed. Leylin even opened a few more production lines for this purpose, in order to cope with the crazy market demand.
Among them, of course, the multiple "capital injections" of the Crimson Tiger Pirates are indispensable!
With Leylin's secret remote control and the assistance of the Barbarian Pirates, the Crimson Tiger Pirates, led by Isabel, did a lot of hard work and attacked several Marquis Louis' merchant ships.
At this time, Leylin had been staying on Faolan Island for a long time, with a look of indifference to the world, and the barbarian pirate group was also extremely peaceful, so that the other party could not find any evidence, so they could only secretly grit their teeth and prepare for revenge. .
In the blink of an eye, nearly a year has passed.
The camp built by Leylin before has now turned into a prosperous sea port. The hard bluestone floor is paved, and there are very imposing brick buildings all around. The entire port is well planned and the security situation is also very good Quite good, not even a trace of rubbish can be seen on the ground, which is unimaginable in other ports.
Dirtyness and filth are often the source of disease and plague, Leylin of course cannot bear this.
Moreover, a clean, tidy and well-ordered port is unimaginable for sea merchants at this time.
Coupled with the two advantageous export products of fish floss and refined cube sugar, today's port has become a gold-absorbing place. Every day, a large number of ships are moored at the dock or leave with full cargo, even at night. The coolies were constantly at work, and there was a scene of tumultuous prosperity.
Leylin named this port - "Venus Port"! Meaning a rising star!
Yes! After the completion of Venus Port, it not only attracted many merchants from the original Port of Faolan, but also secretly became another trade center in the open sea!
In the original sea off Dambreth, the Bodey Islands on the bright side and the pirate port in the dark showed a clear bipolar trend, but now the Venus Port seems to have the taste of the rise of the third pole!
This change in the general trend, of course, has also attracted the attention of more caring people.
"My lord, the latest information!"
A guard wearing exquisite chain mail, with an extremely calm breath, obviously possessing the strength of a mid-level fighter, respectfully handed over a letter paper covered with wax to Jacopo.
Jacob hurriedly opened it, and after browsing a few lines, his face changed drastically.
"This matter! I want to tell the young master myself!"
After walking out of the room, two rows of elite warriors immediately followed Jacopo. They all had an iron-blooded temperament, and there was even a glint of brilliance flashing at the bottom of their eyes. They were obviously the kind of elite fighters who had aroused their fighting spirit.
Walking out of the city hall, Jacopo directly rode on a giant black horse. Although he had a carriage to ride in as a city political security officer, he still liked to ride a horse because of his warrior habits.
Looking at the magnificent and majestic city hall behind him, as well as the many mid-level fighters behind him, and the awe-inspiring eyes of everyone on the road, Jacopo felt a little dazed in his heart.
"Everything... is really different!"
Jacob sighed softly. After gaining enough wealth, Baron Jonas and Leylin did not bury gold coins in their own cellar like other nobles on the continent, like a greedy dragon. On the contrary, In addition to expanding the production line and building the Morning Star Port, the visionary Baron Jonas spent almost all of his income to strengthen the Faolan family.
The large-scale exquisite chain mail and fine steel long sword replaced the leather armor and iron fork and wooden spear of the original guards, and even attracted a large number of professionals—although it is impossible for high-level professionals above level 15, but Other mid-level professionals, especially melee fighters, simply couldn't refuse the baron's offer.
There are even many professionals who fell in love with the environment here after serving for a period of time, and simply moved their families here and became free citizens of Venus Port. In terms of treatment and treatment, he also gave generous returns, which formed a virtuous circle and made his subordinates stronger and stronger.
As far as Jacopo knew, there were already professionals above the tenth level who took refuge under Leylin's command. If he hadn't followed the baron since childhood and worked hard, his position would have been replaced by others.
But even so, a strong sense of crisis lingered in Jacopo's heart.
"I must step up my training. I have a hunch that the bottleneck that has plagued me for many years will definitely break through during this period of time!"
After the income of the Faolan family increased, Jacobs and his group of old people were of course also beneficiaries, and their salaries were raised to a very high level. Jacobs also felt his own insufficiency, so he not only used the funds to hire scholars Lectures for myself, and even consulted many warriors and strong men.
Now he has also reached the peak of the seventh-level fighter, and he is only a step away from the eighth-level level.
After the steed galloped out of the port, it was surrounded by a newly cultivated wheat field. The green wheat was full of vitality, and the air became fresh all of a sudden, causing Jacopo to take a few deep breaths.
There are not only the tenants and farmers who migrated from the Faolan family, but also the freed slaves and even the families of pirates who farmed here.
Leylin specially promulgated a decree, as long as the slaves worked hard, after a certain number of years, they could obtain the status of freemen and ten acres of arable land.
After paying taxes for three years, they can apply to the city hall to buy them back at a very low price and become real self-cultivating farmers.
This move immediately attracted a large number of slaves to work hard in order to obtain the status of free people.
Leylin is well aware that no matter how human society changes, only classes will last forever, and maintaining the fluidity between classes and giving hope to those at the bottom is the only way to ensure the vitality of organizations and regimes.
After passing the wheat field area, the surrounding security has increased in vain.
Even, Jacopo felt the secret peeping of rangers, thieves, and even assassins.
An industrial area appeared at the end, where fish floss and sugar were produced.
Ever since he got his first trade income, Leylin moved the production line here to make room for the port, and also for the convenience of confidentiality and management.
With the continuous expansion of trade profits, the level of secrecy here is also getting higher and higher.
Even Leylin and his mentor, Ernest, came to sit in the town in person, and most of the elite forces of the entire Faolan family were here, and they frightened away several waves of voyeurs at the same time.
But as long as the huge profits of trade exist, this kind of desperate snooping will not stop.
Leylin's villa is right next to the factory area. He is not a person who treats himself badly. The entire villa occupies a large area. He even moved all the people who served him from the original manor, including the groom, here. Of course, Sister Claire is also indispensable.
After meeting two patrols with tenth-level fighters along the way, Jacob finally met Leylin.
At this time, Leylin had already passed his sixteenth birthday, and he looked more mature. He had golden curly hair like the sun, and eyes like the sea. Every inch of his body was extremely perfect, full of a sense of coordination. In other words, his appearance now is the perfect image of the dream lover of a noble lady.
The eyes of the Claire sisters next to her were full of fascination, and they didn't even pay much attention to Jacopo coming in.
