Chapter 563: Chapter 563: Cleveland Magic Communication Company
Aslan holds 20% of the shares of Cleveland Magic Communication Company, the Royal Academy of Magic holds 15%, the Duke of Durandal holds 15%, the regent and the little emperor hold 5% each, and the rest Fifty percent was divided among other nobles.
Among them, the Sarah family occupies 4%, and the Baral family occupies 5%.
Although Aslan is the major shareholder, the management of Cleveland Magic Communication Company is in the hands of Duke Durandal.
After sending everyone away, Duke Durandal contacted Aslan immediately.
"Marquis Aslan, it's even smoother than I expected. Relying on the efficiency of the nobles, I believe that the magic phone will be able to reach the capital directly in less than half a year." Duke Durandal said with a happy face.
At least in the first financing, he got 800,000 gold coins for nothing, plus millions of working capital, the actual benefits he got were enough to make his mouth full.
"It is my honor to have such a reliable business partner as the Duke of Durandal. Next, I will send a construction team to build the magic wave signal tower. You just need to plan the construction site and prepare the construction materials in advance."
Aslan held the magic phone, his eyes sparkled.
In fact, compared to other people, Aslan hopes that the magic phone can be popularized, even if it loses money. When the magic phone becomes popular among the nobles, monitoring the entire Kyoto noble circle will be as easy as drinking water.
It's just that no one is a fool. If Aslan builds these things in vain, those nobles will worry about Aslan's conspiracy.
However, after the establishment of the joint-stock company, and after all the nobles and royal families can also join the group, the attitude is completely different. Not only is the construction all the way given the green light, but the magic phone can also be promoted as quickly as possible.
At the same time, because the aristocratic royal family also participated in the construction, they felt more at ease. After all, it was built under their noses and was still within the monitoring range of their territory. If Aslan had any conspiracy, these nobles were confident that they could kill it in time.
As for wanting to monopolize this business, Aslan has never considered it at all. As long as the great nobles in various regions want to prevent the magic phone from entering the territory, there are more than a hundred reasons.
To put it simply, this area can earn 100,000 gold coins a year, and after distributing part of the profits, it can earn another 20,000 gold coins, but if it refuses to share the profits, it can't even earn 20,000 gold coins.
At the same time, it will also cause the noble groups of the kingdom to fight against each other. In the future, not only the 20,000 gold coins in this area will be lost, but also the countless 20,000 gold coins contained in countless regions and provinces.
"No problem, Marquis Aslan, the number of seeds you provided is a bit small! This tells me how to plant on a large scale." Duke Durandal turned around and asked.
"Hmm!" Aslan was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that it was originally just a few acres of experimental seeds for Duke Durandal, but judging by his current attitude, it should have been planted.
After all, in this world, apart from elves who are born natural magicians, humans also have natural magicians, but they are not as high as elves in terms of natural magic affinity.
"I'm not lying to you! That's a high-yield food crop I found from the East Asian subcontinent." Aslan began to brag to Duke Durandal.
Duke Durandal also cooperated with each other.
"It's just astounding, if that crop had been grown a few years earlier, there wouldn't be a famine like this."
Aslan scolded the old fox secretly in his heart. He wanted to test how long he had planted Merlot No. 1 seeds and how much grain he had stored.
"Yeah, it would be great if I found out earlier, which is why I urgently want to promote it, so that people in the kingdom will never starve to death again."
"The Marquis of Aslan really loves the people like a son, and is a rare good lord in the kingdom."
"I don't know His Excellency Duke Durandal, how many seeds do you need? I can support you in the early stage, but I can't do it later. I also need to ensure that the farmland in the territory can produce." Aslan said unhurriedly.
When Duke Durandal heard this, he almost scolded Aslan for being shameless.
This is to take the seed to sit on the ground and raise the price.
Aslan would not do business like selling seeds. His goal was to increase the share of grain purchased.
"I hope to acquire 60% of the food produced by the Duke of Durandal." Aslan's words made Duke Durandal heave a sigh of relief.
"Yes, I can even help you spread seeds and fertilizers to the entire kingdom, but I want to become the kingdom's fertilizer agent." Duke Durandal is very aware of the importance of fertilizers. Even ordinary seeds, after adding fertilizers, the yield can also be good The most important thing is that the land can maintain its fertility without fallow.
This is the trump card that can really increase food production.
Aslan looked at the report on the table thoughtfully, and couldn't help standing up.
"Okay! I'll sell it to you at the price of Merlot City. As for how you sell it, it's up to you." Aslan said with a smile.
Duke Durandal laughed.
"Then it's settled. I'll visit you in the next few days and bring the contract with you."
"Waiting for you!"
Aslan hung up the phone, Nuomili put a snack on the table and asked puzzledly.
"Master! I don't understand, why do you entrust so much business to the Duke of Durandal?"
"The so-called kingdom, before the centralization of power, the nobles and the royal family are nothing more than the mutual binding of interest chains. When they are united together, the benefits are the greatest. The nobles naturally recognize the dominance of the royal family." Aslan took a piece of cream with a fork. Putting the cake into his mouth, he tasted it carefully and said.
"Let me tell you a story! A group of aristocratic pigs representing capital and power are feasting on the table, but the chef next to them is constantly delivering dishes, but the dishes are made with things in the house, and there are countless running under the table. The kittens are waiting for the noble pigs to eat the leftovers."
Nomiri blinked her eyes, looking at Aslan because she didn't know.
"As the noble pigs eat without restraint, the decoration of the house is eaten up first, then the furniture, and finally the walls are not spared, until the last pillars and roofs cannot be removed, these noble pigs have nothing more It can be eaten, what do you think they should do?"
Nomiri said thoughtfully, "They will eat kittens."
Aslan nodded and continued: "They started to prey on the kittens. The noble pigs used their interlocking chain of interests to force the kittens to jump into their traps and become their new food. In this life-and-death crisis, a certain In order to survive, kittens also began to prey on their own kind, and eventually evolved into tigers."
