Section 2067 Shipping
The news that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Eastern Empire has arrived here has spread all over the southeast coast for some unknown reason. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was still scared, but nothing happened afterwards, mainly because of Li Cong and The Cao's House he represents has no interest in this at all. Now all Li Cong's interest is in the four tenth-level fighters. After searching for so long, he finally found such a little clue. It's all there, but more or less they know who their enemies are. The information of these four guys is now on Li Cong's table.
These four guys became famous 30,000 years ago. The four brothers met in an accidental encounter 30,000 years ago. It can be said that that time was their beginning. From that time on, the four of them All of them will appear collectively, but how powerful their enemy is, the four of them advance and retreat together. Over time, each of them becomes each other's trusted brothers. Tens of thousands of years ago, the four of them finally It was a friendship with Jinlan, but later because they were tired of some vendettas in the rivers and lakes, the four of them hid collectively. Some people said that their lair was in the Warcraft Mountains, and some people also said that it was in the frozen forest. Yes, no matter where they are, they are not in human society anyway, maybe they are not very used to this kind of treacherous life in human society, and they all want to live a little peaceful life.
According to the information, the fourth child had just reached the level of a tenth-level fighter ten thousand years ago, but it was just a beginner's level. It's definitely not very powerful. Although other people have already entered, they are not very powerful. None of them have much ambition, so no one came out. After a long time, these people have to Forgotten by people in human society, do they really have no ambitions? That's impossible. It must be that they haven't encountered anything that can make them do it. Usually, it is very difficult to find a tenth-level fighter. Now four appear directly. If it is said that they have no ability at all, no one will believe it, and their abilities are also very powerful. According to the descriptions of those people at that time, Li Cong believed that the strongest among the four of them would definitely surpass that of Lear. The fighting power of the king is more than three times. Even if you meet someone like Prince Zheng, you will definitely not lose. This is where the tenth-level fighters are terrifying. If they didn't have this ability, they wouldn't come to provoke him. As for the reason why he became enmity with them. The information is not very detailed, it just said that the boss's son may have died on his own head, because Li Cong didn't leave any information when the black magic pharmacist died, so it is impossible to judge that guy is Son of the boss, no matter what happens, your son died because he was a black potion master. Killing his father is considered to be a disaster for the people. What happened to my son is because your scum son died About to kill my son? In fact, in the eyes of his father, his son is priceless. Li Cong is really furious now. He tore up these things before he finished reading these materials. If you get angry, you will be killed directly. The father-son relationship between Lao Tzu and Xiao Ao is not something people like you can understand.
These people probably knew that they had offended someone they couldn't afford, so they all seemed to disappear from this world. The guys from the intelligence department of Cao's House used a very powerful insider to get some The super fighters got the news that they should have left the Eastern Empire, otherwise there would always be a little fluctuation,
But now tenth-level fighters don't have any feeling. It can be said that at the level of tenth-level fighters, they have their own perception of some things and things around them. They may feel that they are not as good as magicians in other things. , but it’s okay to feel that there are people around who are similar in fighting power to me, especially if that person is known to me, it will be easier. A tenth-level fighter who knows four of them came to this conclusion , Of course, he didn't do it to help Li Cong. He just said that casually, and Li Cong's spies were found by this sentence, so Li Cong planned to expand the scope of the search.
"Sir, we got some blood from the scene. The blood is definitely not from the third young master, nor from a monster. The genes inside this blood are very powerful. Ordinary soldiers can feel the power of this blood. Ordinarily it is None of the ninth-level fighters would have such abilities. In my opinion, one or several of them may have been injured by the third young master. It should be easier to find them now. After all, we can narrow the scope A little." Just when Li Cong didn't know what to think and was in a daze, the person who signed the engraving came in with some materials. They had been researching the scene for half a month, and naturally there was no news at all. Those who haven't been exposed, if they are really exposed, then don't mess around with them.
Injuried? The tenth-level fighter was injured? Li Cong seems to have thought of something. These tenth-level fighters should not be injured, but as long as they are injured once, it is not so simple to recover. All kinds of pills must be what they need That's right, if they have their own medicines, where will I find them in my life in the vast sea? The coast of the empire is now. I have never heard of these pills in the past. Now you can see the pills you have dreamed of in Cao's House, but there is a truth that I must tell you, that is, this pill must be You can only take out three-point medicinal materials, if you can't get it out, then I have to ask you to ask someone else, this is Wuji, but you can definitely pick up the goods the next day if you need more than five levels, I'm sorry Yes, because this thing wasted a lot of time and energy. In the end, Ao got together to do it together, which would also reduce Li Cong's competitiveness, so Li Cong didn't think about it at the beginning. victory.
"Give me instructions, and pay attention to all trades. I will stand up to those who are most eager to buy medicinal materials, especially here in the capital. You must wear your own weapons. These people are all If you have a conscience, you can get out of anything, and if you find out that the pill has been forcibly taken away, come to me and report it immediately." Li Cong thought for a while and said, although this is a big fish, he did it himself A lot of other things, but they are all defective. So this transaction is absolutely impossible. In the end, I can only let this guy defend himself, and then the good government and good schools start to praise them again.
Li Cong has also started to look up some information in the past few days, that is, if a tenth-level fighter has serious internal injuries, general things are useless. Even ten-thousand-year-old ginseng worth several million taels of silver can only be used for emergencies. But it cannot be cured. So if they want this person to get better, there are only a few kinds of elixirs, and the Jiuzhuan Resurrection Pill is just one of them. In the past, Cao's House of Merchant did not take such six-grade pills to make, mainly because such pills were several grades higher than Li Cong's strength. If it was really refined, it would not be impossible. It really put a lot of pressure on Li Cong, but this can make Li Cong's mental strength rise quickly. It's like running. Last time your limit was 3000 meters, but this time you reached 3000 meters. The distance of meters must be to surpass the previous record. Even if it is 3001 meters this time, it must be considered good. Of course, this is just a metaphor. If you really use this running thing to describe Li Cong If it goes up, it must be at least 3300 meters, more than one-third, and Li Cong is also very happy about such a thing.
However, there are too few people who can refine sixth-grade pills. It is not a lot to be able to produce two or three pills a year, but these two or three can make Li Cong earn at least 20 trillion yuan. If the profit of two silver coins and other favors are all converted into silver, it must be more than double this amount. It's not that no one will refine this thing, mainly because Li Cong has to base his money on his own situation. It was formulated, so it’s only two or three every year. If there are more, I will definitely have some problems here. First of all, my body can’t bear it. It’s really a good idea to challenge your limit again and again. Things, but there are also some risks. If it’s okay, it’s better not to do it. If you do it too often, it’s not good for your body. It’s better to be honest and take it slowly, or just cultivate for a period of time. Such a small outbreak will not benefit anyone for a long time. Now, in order to find these four people, Li Cong naturally wants to find all the people who need to refine the sixth-grade elixir to see what's going on. Perhaps some clues can be found among them.
"Master, if they don't have pills, I think they will definitely come to us. After all, what is open to the world now is that we can refine sixth-grade pills for them, and we have also succeeded, but it is a Don't worry, what if they don't come to us, or they have already obtained one from other places? Although there are very few alchemists in this world, I think there can always be alchemists Medicine, if this is the case, it would be meaningless for us to investigate like this." Bai Er thought for a while and said, this matter is really worthy of people's consideration, in the past when they refined elixirs, they basically prescribed one Just go for the price, and we will never inquire about the sources of these medicines and other things. Even if you get these things by killing people, as long as you can afford the price, we will never have any. Those who disagree, do this now and start investigating others. If this is spread, it will definitely have a certain impact on the reputation of Cao's House.
"Bai Er, don't you remember what I told you before, when we do this, everything has two sides and cannot be perfect, no matter what you do, this matter is relative, as long as it is If this thing is good for you, then there will definitely be a bad side for others. We have to weigh the pros and cons. If the benefits to us are greater than our efforts, will we continue to do it, even if it is this The news leaked out, how many pharmacists in the society are open now, and how much they can take care of pharmacy, so we are the most important, even if they know that we are investigating him, they can only be I will bear with this matter. In fact, this is also good. Our Cao's House has suffered such a big loss this time, and the world will probably spread it in half a year. If we are still like this, what will happen? If we don’t do it, then we will be laughed to death.” Is it just these reasons? Naturally not, Bai Er nodded. In fact, besides these reasons, Li Cong had other reasons, and that was to avenge his son. Take revenge personally.
When Li Cong was thinking about these things. A good thing about Cao’s House has already begun, that is, the ocean trade of Cao’s House. The ships organized this time have successfully arrived at a port city in the Southern Empire. There are a large number of rare items from the Eastern Empire. It's up for sale here. Some big businessmen from the Southern Empire came here directly with a lot of money. Of course. Now is not the time it used to be. It used to be a bit difficult for people to carry bank notes here and there. It’s different now. Now they come directly in a carriage. Now the biggest ticket in Cao’s Commercial Bank is 10,000 taels of gold. Although platinum tickets are also starting to be studied, they haven’t come out yet. This is 100,000 taels of silver, a stack of 100 sheets, this is 10 million taels of silver, how much can this cart pull, of course, most of them are tens of taels or hundreds of taels of silver, can Those who have such a large amount of banknotes are definitely super rich in the Southern Empire. In fact, if Li Cong sells these goods in his own trading house, he will definitely make more profits, but you can’t spend all your money. I lost my money. If this is the case, it is really a bit unethical, and it will arouse the resentment of these people. I just transport the things here, and it is up to you how to sell the rest.
It's as if porcelain from the Eastern Empire is the most beautiful thing. Such a flower screen is only a few taels of silver in the Eastern Empire, but when it comes to the Southern Empire, the selling price of Cao's House is 20 times higher. After transporting it back, it is estimated that they can still earn about three times the price difference, and the overall calculation is 60 times the price difference, and they can earn 60 times the profit in one month. I guess everyone is willing to do such a thing. If You'd be a fool if you didn't.
Wu Zuoxi has been in the Southern Empire for a long time, mainly because the expansion of the people from the Cao Family Firm in the Southern Empire is the slowest. Most of the time it depends on the face of the Southern Empire government. The Southern Empire also dispatched The army looked at the army of the Cao's House of Commerce. Under the propaganda of the Southern Empire, the people of the Southern Empire also had colored glasses on the people of the Cao's House of Commerce, but it was the same as the court of the Eastern Empire, and they could do something. It's just such a small move, they can't do other things. If they really do this, it is estimated that the Southern Empire will suffer in the end. The Southern Empire managed to lure the people from Cao's House to the Eastern Empire. How can I get their attention back.
This city is now owned by the Cao family firm, so all taxes and other things are exempted. Of course, if the merchants of the Southern Empire want to take these things out of this city, they must There are not many people who pay taxes, just collect some taxes from the Southern Empire. In a country, the goods have to be paid twice. This kind of thing can happen here, although most merchants They are very disgusted with this. After all, they were not like this in the past, but their self-comforting ability is also good. They also said to themselves that there were no such goods from the Eastern Empire in the past. Now they You can make a lot of money by relying on these things, but the goods are too small, and now they are gone in only half a day. This makes many bosses who have just arrived feel very upset. Did you come here to see how powerful the merchant ships of your Cao’s House are? Of course, you want some of the goods in them. Now it’s all right, but you didn’t get anything. In the end, it turned out to be such a result, how embarrassing is it for me Ah, but the better thing is that they got reliable news from Wu Zuoxi's long-term followers, and there will be another batch coming next month. As for the number, it must be more than this time. This is just a trial operation That's all, it will become a very normal thing in the future, so don't be impatient, so that they can accept it, one by one came here after walking for a few months, so they can still get here in this little time Can afford to wait.
It was also the first time for Wang Quantai and Wu Zuoxi to meet each other, and the two of them were different from other stewards in Li Cong's stewardship. The two of them belong to the intelligent type. In the past, they were senior officials of the two empires, so they communicated very well. Now that all the goods are sold out, the exhibition jointly planned by the two of them is really good. .
"Master Wu is really a capable person. The students really admire you. The territory of the Southern Empire has been governed by you like this. You can't tell that it belongs to the Southern Empire. I think it is the Cao family. It’s the same as that of a commercial firm, and the students never dreamed of such a change. This is really surprising.” Wang Quantai began to wander around from the moment he got down. Anyway, things like the sale of goods have been decided long ago, and he doesn't need to worry about it. At the beginning, he thought that the Southern Empire would have some offices here, but he didn't expect that the whole city, from officials to ordinary people, would It belongs to Cao's firm. No one remembers that this is the territory of the Southern Empire. What those common people say is from our firm. I really think they don't remember which empire they were from when they were originally, that's good, at least they can live a little richer in this way.
"Hehe. Mr. Wang is really flattering. It can be said that the performance here is planned by our boss. His series of plans make the Southern Empire no longer have the strength to fight back. Just like now, the whole One-third of the Southern Empire's currency has already used the banknotes printed by our Cao's House. The officials of the Southern Empire are also printing such things now, but they don't have the technology like ours, which makes a lot of money. The people got it, and the fake ones came out, which caused the Southern Empire court to lose a lot. In addition to the internal instability of the Southern Empire, they also began to borrow money from us in the same amount as the Northern Empire. This is the final result. Naturally, it gave the green light to our affairs." Wu Zuoxi did not attribute these credits to himself at all, after all, he was just a person who handled affairs, a lot of things were decided by Li Cong at the beginning, and he just acted according to the rules up.
"Master Wu, to put it bluntly, in fact, I came to the Southern Empire this time just to take a look. I thought that I would live my old life honestly after I went back, but the boss treated me more or less. There is also the kindness of knowing you, so I have to do the shipping for him, but after arriving here, I feel that this will happen to the Eastern Empire in the future. The four empires may not have the final say on this road in the future. Now there is such a trend in Yinyin, although they are unwilling to admit it, but the fact now is that they really dare not provoke Cao's house, and it is for this reason, I think I should stay , and make his own efforts for the future of this firm, if one day he really wins the world, we will be immortal." Wang Quantai said with emotion, he really thought so in his heart, after entering Cao's firm, he Knowing that Wu Zuoxi must be the same as himself, there is usually no one to talk to him. Although there are several first-class managers, the level of those few is definitely not on the same level as the two of them. This kind of thing that requires brains Li Cong It's all done by the two of them.
"Master Wang is much smarter than me to see this point. It took me two years to see this point. As for you, Mr. Wang, it took less than four months to see it. Yes, Mr. Wang has very good eyesight, and I can see that our boss is not as simple as a chamber of commerce, nor is it as simple as an empire. The wealth created by our chamber of commerce every day is absolutely astonishing. , but did not leave much, which shows that the boss really has a place to spend money." Wu Zuoxi thought so when he thought that the funds in the account were not much, in fact, most of them were shipped back to the earth at the beginning, Li Cong It's also because they feel that it's not very safe here, which caused them some misunderstandings.
"I've also seen it from this way. Some of the things in Cao's house are things that the four empires don't have. Among other things, I think that as long as they occupy the ocean, they can basically block land countries. Damn, even if all the four major empires on these lands are retracted, it will be useless. It will be the most tragic thing if they give up the coast at that time. The combat effectiveness of our marines is overwhelming. It can be regarded as seeing that 10,000 people can wipe out the most elite army of hundreds of thousands in the Eastern Empire with only a few dozen casualties. There is a direct relationship with the forward rush. Anyway, the combat power is there. I don’t know much about other places, but I know that the Cao’s firm’s power in the Eastern Empire has already established a firm foothold. If Just like the army some time ago, at least ten soldiers from the Eastern Empire can stand up to one of them. This is only possible if a series of things such as strategies are used well. If the use is not good, it will probably fail in the end. The Eastern Empire belongs to the Eastern Empire. The Eastern Empire is the most powerful of the four great empires. Now, if he wants to destroy the Cao Family Firm, he will have to devote all his efforts to it. The other three empires can be imagined. If the Cao Family Firm is in It has been developed like this for ten years. It is estimated that even if they are united, the Cao’s firm will have the strength to fight.” Wang Quantai has found a confidant today. In the past, many people thought his idea was crazy. But now Wu Zuoxi is almost on the same level as himself. Wu Zuoxi didn't think he was crazy either, on the contrary they all had the same opinion.
"The thing you said is about to become a reality. You also know that the military establishment of Cao's House is different from that of other empires. Now the entire army has basically been determined. At present, Cao's The division-level organization of the company's army is the largest, with four brigades and twelve regiments, more than 120,000 combat troops and 30,000 supply troops. If this is really placed in one of the empires , I have calculated that the army of the Western Empire needs at least 500,000 cavalry and 1.2 million infantry to defeat them. If they want to encircle them, they must at least double that. The establishment has already reached the 1127th Division, and it is really difficult for them to destroy the Cao's Commercial Bank." After all, Wu Zuoxi's time in the Cao's Commercial Bank is much longer than that of Wang Quantai, so for the internal Cao's Commercial Bank Some things are also very well understood, just like these things now, Wang Quantai doesn't know.
"Then what happened to the so-called marines that landed in our Eastern Empire last time?" Wang Quantai thought that the uniforms of those troops seemed to be different from those of some troops here, and their weapons and so on were all different. difference.
"The marine corps can be said to be a branch that we didn't have before. I didn't know much about it before, but now I know a little bit. The marine corps refers to the branch of the navy that is responsible for crossing the sea and landing operations. , can also be called naval infantry.Using warships or merchant ships as means of transportation, it is a division-level force that is responsible for landing operations from the sea or as a pioneer for large forces in the rear and large-scale comprehensive offensive operations. The Marine Corps is specially trained for The infantry performing amphibious assault operations is basically the same as the army on land. At present, there are mainly 307 division-level units. Except for your Eastern Empire, others are carried out on some islands. Closed training." Wu Zuoxi knew that Wang Quantai would definitely be a core member of Li Cong's core in the future, so there was no need to hide some things he knew from this guy, and he would know more about these things in the future .
"If you don't say that, I'm not sure how ambitious our boss is. It seems that he really wants to make Zhuolu the world, and we servants will follow suit." Two people While talking and drinking, the time passed quickly, and soon it was the afternoon, and the day was basically over.
"This shipping can be said to be very successful. Basically, the profit of each ship is almost 100 million silver. This month, there can be two such harvests. Hehe, when I go back, there will be 100,000 big ships. It's about to start, it's running at full speed, and the monthly profits are absolutely astonishing. We can earn back the annual taxes of several empires in a year, and the money of the entire continent is estimated to go to us. It’s in my hands.” Wang Quantai didn’t know about the other lucrative deals of Cao’s House, if he had known, he probably wouldn’t have said that, and Wu Zuoxi didn’t explain this, as many people have such an illusion, this Li Cong's ability to make money is amazing, but his ability to spend money is also very powerful. This guy usually raises so many troops, and his daily expenses are astronomical.
Wu Zuoxi doesn't know about other places, but now every soldier in his place costs an average of 10 taels of silver for a month of training plus other expenses. There are more than 42 million troops stationed in dozens of cities around here. It costs hundreds of millions of silver per month. Many people will say that this is a small amount, but there are still a large number of people in this area who work for Cao's business, such purchases, and such purchases. It’s just a small place in the area where the Cao’s Commercial Bank is located. The land owned by Li Cong is hundreds of times that here. According to this calculation method, the monthly fixed expenditure of the army alone has hundreds of billions of silver. Not to mention anything else, this is still a time of rest. If the war really started. At that time is the real time to spend money, even Li Cong will not be able to support it.
In fact, the high cost is also due to the high remuneration given by Li Cong. At the beginning, they didn't want Li Cong to give such a high remuneration, but Li Cong also had his own ideas. In the hearts of the people, the imperial army is the real army. Their army is nothing. The only thing that can change them one by one is the silver.
In fact, these troops are not considered expensive in the entire Li Cong system. The most expensive part of Li Cong's entire system is the training camp, although a lot of expenses have been reduced now. After a long period of summarization, the people inside can save a lot of money, but it still takes millions of dollars to train a person to become a fifth-level fighter, and it will increase tenfold if he wants to become a sixth-level fighter. , becoming a seventh-level fighter is ten times, and reaching the level of an eighth-level fighter is twenty times. The simplest conversion is two billion silver to produce an eighth-level fighter. This is still an eighth-level fighter who knows nothing. Level 8 fighter, if you want him to acquire combat skills, you have to spend hundreds of millions of dollars, plus some medicinal materials in the later stage, three billion dollars is the best for an eighth-level fighter, and this ship will ship one The monthly earning speed is very fast, but if it is compared with here, it is enough to produce more than 300 eighth-level fighters.
This is completely a loss-making business. If the eighth-level fighters want to earn this money back, it will take ten years to kill monsters in the Warcraft Mountains non-stop. Fortunately, Li Cong does not expect them to come out to make money. You just need them to help you. Besides, you can’t turn this guy into an eighth-level fighter if you have money. Generally speaking, one out of a hundred people with such aptitude is considered very good. Sometimes there is not one out of thousands of people in a group. Now Cao’s House has a lot of low-level fighters, and the high-level fighters are very short. Even if there are high-level fighters, compared with those who hang around in the Warcraft Mountains There is a big gap, the first thing is the fighting quality.
"You will gradually understand this matter in the future. This is a shipping map. After you go back, I estimate that the goods on 100,000 ships can be completed in two months. I estimate the total gap in the Southern Empire." It takes up to 3 million ships. Although the other two empires are slightly less, the number of 5 million is definitely the same. This is also a big challenge for our firm. If this can be done If it is very good, we will be regarded as the heroes of the firm in the future." Wu Zuoxi didn't talk to this guy about the expenses of Cao's firm, because there are some things he doesn't know himself, and it's useless to continue talking Things, this guy will inevitably think that he is fooling him.
"I didn't predict this before. In the beginning, these things could be regarded as luxury sales, but later they were considered as regular transportation. I feel that there is still something wrong with the number you mentioned. I just want to It’s the same as these core ships. As far as I know, there are more than 100 million core ships in the Eastern Empire. In fact, many of them can be converted to sea transportation. It’s just that our profits will not be so rich. I still feel that This kind of cross-country long-distance transportation is good, and in the future, it can be like an airship, transporting some people, it is a good choice." The two of you told me a lot of things at a glance, until the end At ten o'clock in the evening, they sorted out all the things they said, and then sent them to Li Cong, so that Li Cong could prepare these things well.
They are enthusiastically calculating these things here, and they don't know that some people have taken a fancy to this business. Today, more than 100 billion yuan of silver has entered the pockets of Cao's Commercial Bank. It's not a good thing, except for the people of Cao's House, of course, those in the Southern Empire, whether they are officials or businessmen, are very jealous when they look at the business of Cao's House, no, One by one, they are preparing to form a fleet by themselves. Is it possible to come to the Eastern Empire for such a trade? If so, can they make this profit by themselves?
However, there are quite a few people who want to do this, but they all face a big problem, that is, do you have a boat? Even if you have all of them, do you know how far it is to the Eastern Empire? If you reach the sea, do you know how to go? Let’s not talk about this, the most important thing is can you enter the gate of the Eastern Empire? I heard over there that Cao's House of Commerce belongs to the whole world. It's not so easy to get in. There are no fools in Cao's House of Commerce. You are robbing others for direct resources. Who would change it? I can't get over it in my heart.
After discussing for an afternoon, these people didn't come up with anything. They honestly took stacks of tickets to Cao's house to exchange goods. These things are really cheap. They used to buy these things I have seen it before, but most of them are transported in space rings, they are all invaluable, and there are not too many, they are all a small part, how can this be, as long as it is my own speed Fast enough, transporting it back will be several times the profit, and you can go back immediately with as much money as you bring. For a while, the inland waterway shipping business of Cao's firm is also fully booked. There is no way, who is called The speed is fast. Some fruits and the like can’t be stored for a long time. If you stay here for a long time, it’s impossible to get fresh over there. Who will pay for such stale things? , this thing is really lost in his own hands, no one will be happy to do this.
But looking at people who can make money so much, we are here to watch? No, they are all people with conspiracy, and they all know what to do. A sinister plan has been staged. (To be continued..)
