Chapter 41 Interview

it's clear.

Many factory owners on St. Maarten were invited to a factory on the outskirts of the city.

The factory is constantly blowing thick black smoke.

The merchants were either dressed in luxurious clothes, wearing gold and silver, or they were simply dressed, showing vicissitudes on their faces.

There are groups of three or five, calling friends and friends, and everyone has a smile on their face.

Most of them are factory owners in the textile industry!

Today, the kingdom called them together!

In other kingdoms, in this case, a businessman would be afraid or panic, for fear that the kingdom would slaughter them severely, or simply snatch their property.

However, here is the Kingdom of Saint Martin.

All of them knew that something good had to happen today.

Since King Arthur came to power, the kingdom has paid more and more attention to these merchants.

Their business activities are also more and more smooth, and their wealth is rising.

Even if they paid a large amount of tax, they are still happy. After all, the more tax you pay, the more you earn!

"Kru, do you think there is something to announce when the kingdom called us together today?"

A fat man with a kind face, a wide body and a fat body, dressed in gorgeous clothes, wearing ten large gold rings on his hands, and a large gold chain around his neck, looked like Maitreya Buddha. The sturdy middle-aged man with a face of vicissitudes asked.

"I don't know, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with listening to the words of the kingdom and following the kingdom!" Kru smiled and said firmly.

"That's right!" Fatty nodded in agreement and said with a smile, "Since I left the kingdom, my factory has doubled in size!"

"Clap!" Crewe suddenly stretched out his hand and patted the fat man's chubby belly, causing a tumbling wave of meat, and said with a smile, "Wiya, I think your stomach expands faster than your factory. The expansion rate is much faster!"

"Haha!" Wyah was not angry, but smiled heartily, and said to himself, "Now, the kingdom has captured the kingdom of Felt, and next year, the expansion of my factory will definitely be faster than the expansion of my stomach! "

After the two joked for a while.

Crewe pointed to the black smoke above the factory, and asked suspiciously, "By the way, Wyah, do you know what the black smoke above is?"

"I don't know either, but it should be related to what is to be announced today, right?" Wiya shook his head and guessed.

The two walked into the factory chatting like this.

At this time, dozens of people had gathered in the factory.

These are all factory owners of large and small factories in St. Maarten. There are three or five hundred workers in the big ones, and one or twenty workers in the small ones.

When Crew and Wyah came over, the crowd automatically separated!

"Wya!"

"Crew!"

"Good morning!"

Along the way, people kept smiling and greeting them.

The two were not polite and walked directly to the front of the crowd.

As two of the largest group of factory owners in the kingdom, they are naturally qualified to stand at the forefront of the team!

Soon, people were almost there.

At this time, an old man came out of the factory.

The old man had a goatee, shattered hair, and a pair of gold-wire glasses. His face was wrinkled and stern.

Seeing him, everyone present suddenly quieted down, showing a respectful expression.

This person is Hughes, Minister of Commerce of the Kingdom of St. Martin, and people generally call him old Hughes!

His life is legendary. He started doing business and selling clothes at the age of 15, but at the age of 18 he went bankrupt and owed huge debts because of unknown people and mistrust of others.

After that, he had to deal with the pain, worked part-time for two years, woke up early every day, and finally paid off his debts.

Then, he started his entrepreneurial career again. This time, instead of selling clothes, he was engaged in food business. With his perseverance and hard work, he has been in the food industry for four years.

At the age of twenty-four, he finally made some achievements and became one of the big grain merchants in the kingdom.

At this time, there was a locust plague that was once in a century in the kingdom, and all the food was harvested!

It stands to reason that this matter has nothing to do with him. As a grain merchant, the grain has never been harvested. It is a big deal for him to sell a little less. With the grain he had stored before, he might still be able to make a fortune!

But he is not happy!

He looked at the civilians who could not afford to eat, and he was generous, selling or giving food to the civilians at extremely low prices, even some of them for free!

So, he went bankrupt again!

This time, he didn't owe any debts. He also had a little wealth in the past few years. After putting it in, he left empty!

After another year of work, he started a business again.

Work, start a business, make a fortune, go bankrupt, work, start a business again!

He goes back and forth in between!

At the age of sixty, he started his business at the age of fifteen. In the past forty-five years, he has gone bankrupt more than ten times due to various reasons. have enough knowledge.

At the same time, because of his integrity in business, although he goes bankrupt every time, he still wins people's trust!

Every time he goes bankrupt and falls down, he can stand up easily because others trust him and are willing to give him the goods on credit or sell them cheaply!

A few years ago, after his last bankruptcy, he did not start a business again!

Instead, he was recruited into the palace by Arthur. After asking him some business questions, Arthur was very satisfied with his understanding of business and granted him the position of Minister of Commerce!

It is mainly responsible for managing the funds and inventories of state-owned trade, determining the prices of wholesale commodities in state-run trade, and guiding the management of the market by private businesses and trade departments at all levels across the country, as well as the country's foreign trade, etc.

He lives up to expectations, and he is doing well in this position!

"I'm inviting everyone here today. It's the kingdom that wants to sell you some good things and do business with you by the way."

"Old Hughes, just say it directly, don't talk about those things, the kingdom is going to be sold to us, we will definitely buy it!" Wyah interrupted Old Hughes with a smile.

"Yeah yeah!"

"Old Hughes, hurry up and say it!"

"I can't wait!"

As soon as Wyya spoke, someone from behind began to echo the road.

"Interrupt again, I'll go to your house tomorrow and let your father break your legs!" Old Hughes glanced at Wyya and said lightly.

"Uh heh!" Wyah seemed to be strangled by the neck, and could only laugh a few times.

Wyah's father was also a businessman, who happened to be of the same generation as old Hughes. At the beginning, old Hughes had a good relationship with him. Until now, old Hughes often goes to his house to sit and sit!

It can be said that Old Hughes grew up watching him, so he dared to interrupt old Hughes!

"Hahaha"

Wyah's dry laugh immediately caused a lot of laughter. Everyone knows that although Wyah's business is doing well, he is most afraid of his father. He was even taught by his father two months ago!

"What are you laughing at!" Wyya looked at the people who were laughing around and said angrily.

"Okay, let's get down to business!" Old Hughes said, and everyone was quiet.

"See these things, this is what the kingdom wants to sell to you!" Old Hughes said, pointing to the various steam production lines next to the factory.

"What is this?" Crewe asked, which was also the doubt of all those present.

"Clap!" Old Hughes didn't answer, but clapped his palm.

Immediately, a group of craftsmen emerged from the factory and skillfully started various steam facilities.

"Boom!"

The production line was fully started up.

"Kakkaka!"

In the sound of the machine, and the operation of the craftsmen, the steam loom soon woven a piece of cloth.

Wyah couldn't wait to check this piece of cloth. He is in the cloth industry. If there is such a machine, the efficiency can be improved by many times!

"Good, good!" Wyah said happily, the quality of the fabric, the feel, etc. are all first-class, and the speed is simply outrageous!

However, Crewe's face turned ugly. He asked old Hughes, "Is this what the kingdom wants to sell us?"

"En!" Old Hughes nodded.

"But." Crew hesitated.

Old Hughes knew what he wanted to say. It was nothing more than the use of these things, which would cause problems such as excess production and excess manpower.

"I know what you want to say. After using these things, the kingdom will buy the things you produce in the future, and buy them at your cost price plus a layer of pure profit!" Old Houston said after a pause.

"Of course, the kingdom of raw materials will also help you solve it and sell it to you at the cost price!"

"Really?" Crew asked in disbelief.

Although it seems that there are not many layers, this is the price after deducting various costs, so as long as they are produced, they will definitely make money!

"Really!" Old Hughes nodded.

"However, what does the kingdom want to do with so many things?" Crew couldn't help asking.

Although, it is very comfortable to have the kingdom to make money easily, but if the kingdom loses money, he will feel a little embarrassed!

"Don't worry, the kingdom will definitely make money, and it will make more money than you!" Old Hughes affirmed with a smile.

"That's good, that's good!" Crewe nodded reassuringly.

With the guarantee of old Hughes, all the factory owners who came here have ordered a lot of steam equipment and are ready to go back to work!
