Chapter 43 Great Prosperity
Walker came to where the soldier said.
This is a big shop with a 1,000-meter-wide facade. There are various colorful silk and satin hanging everywhere in the shop, all of which are brocade, silk, silk, satin and other fine fabrics, linen, coarse cloth, etc. of none at all.
Walker's heart is itchy when he sees these fabrics. The Walker Chamber of Commerce itself lives by selling all kinds of fabrics and fabric raw materials back and forth on the major islands. He knows a lot about fabrics!
Walker couldn't help but reached out and touched a brocade cloth placed in front of the store!
The texture is even and delicate, this is his first feeling, even if it is a brocade cloth, it is considered a good thing.
Immediately, an excited smile appeared on his face, as long as the price was a little cheaper than the market price, he would make a profit!
Fick, who was on the side, looked at his father's excited expression with doubts, and went up to touch it, and then showed the same expression as Walker.
At this time, the manager of the store came out. This was a fat man with a smile on his face, about thirty years old, named Leonard!
"Sir, are these fabrics good?" Leonard asked with a smile. In fact, he saw Walker a long time ago, but he didn't come out immediately, so that Walker could feel the quality of these fabrics.
"Yes!" Walker nodded with satisfaction, and then he couldn't help asking, "How much are these pieces of fabric?"
"Sir, did you come from watching an advertisement?" Leonard asked with a smile.
"Is it really as advertised?" Walker was a little surprised. In his opinion, as long as the fabrics were a little cheaper than other places, it would be good. If it was as advertised, then he wouldn't pay for it!
"Sir, we never do false advertising!" Leonard smiled.
This time, Walker is completely excited, this boat will definitely make a lot of money!
"Also, if you have the raw materials, sir, you can sell them to us, and we will exchange the market price plus half the price for the price you paid for the fabric!" Leonard added.
Immediately, Walker no longer hesitated. Originally, his ship was loaded with raw materials for fabrics, and he was going to sell them. By the way, he bought some fabrics. Now both are solved in Blood Harbor Town.
He directly replaced the raw materials of the eight ships with fabrics, and also used Bailey to buy a lot of fabrics, directly filling the eight ships!
I didn't even have time to eat, I just sailed away!
Because he knows that if he can find the good things in Blood Harbor Town, other people will naturally find it too!
He is now playing a time difference and making a lot of money when others don't react!
Looking at the back of Walker leaving, Leonard smiled slightly.
Even if it is cheaper than the market price, it is still profitable!
In the world of One Piece, weaving mainly relies on manpower to weave, while the Kingdom of St. Martin relies on steam power, both in terms of speed and cost. They are not at the same level!
A piece of cloth is about thirty meters long and one meter wide!
For every piece of cloth sold, the net profit can range from 1,000 to 3,000 Baileys!
Taking the eight ships of the Walker Chamber of Commerce as an example, excluding various weapons or resource supplies, etc., it can hold about 20,000 horses, which means that it can earn between 20 million and 60 million Baileys!
And because the Walker Chamber of Commerce was the first ship to purchase, when other merchants didn't respond, the Walker Chamber of Commerce, after removing various costs, could probably make a net profit of nearly 100 million Baileys!
You must know that the pure profit of 100 million Bailey, but their entire chamber of commerce can only make so much money in three or four months!
Now they only need to make one trip, and they can earn it in ten days at most!
Work for a month, you can earn more than a year of work in the past!
However, at most two or three times, with the well-informedness of the merchants, they will soon know about this place. As long as the St. Martin Kingdom continues to supply, the profits will soon be suppressed!
Of course, it's not a matter of the Kingdom of St. Martin that the profit is suppressed, and it is not the profit of the Kingdom of St. Martin that is suppressed anyway!
ten days later.
Walker is back, back with a big smile!
At this time, he discovered something that greatly changed his face. More than a dozen ships had stopped at the port!
Looking carefully at the flags on the boats, he found that there were only two boats that traded fabrics like him.
However, this is enough to show that this place has begun to be known!
Walker hurried to the Kingdom Fabric Store!
I saw Leonard talking with a middle-aged man in a black tuxedo, and that middle-aged man, he knew, was a competitor who was also in the business of buying and selling fabrics!
"Director Leonard, just like last time, fill it up quickly, I'm in a hurry to ship!" Walker said hurriedly regardless.
"Well, good!" Leonard nodded with a smile!
In less than an hour, the ships of the Walker Chamber of Commerce were out to sea!
The middle-aged man was stunned when he saw this scene, but he immediately reacted!
"Director Leonard, all the raw materials on my two ships have been converted into fabrics, and I will also fill the ships!" The middle-aged man also hurriedly said.
"Yes!" Leonard smiled and also filled the boat for the middle-aged man!
Soon, the middle-aged people also went to sea!
Another ten days have passed. After Walker came this time, the port was already full of dense merchant ships, from all walks of life, and each one came and went in a hurry!
The port was full of traffic, and there was an endless stream of people coming and going. All kinds of goods were loaded onto the ship one by one, and then a ship was loaded with goods and set off!
Most of them are in the fabric business!
This time, Walker is not as anxious as before after coming!
The first two times have already made a lot of money, and now, most of the well-informed people also know about it.
Even if you return with a full load this time, you will only earn a little more than usual!
Walker came to the cloth row again.
This time, there were already people coming and going in the cloth shop, and many people were holding cloth and asking the salesman.
Walker has come for the third time, and went straight to Leonard!
"Mr. Walker, you're here again!" Leonard greeted with a smile!
"Director Leonard, good morning! Still the same!" Walker said with a smile.
"Okay!" Leonard nodded.
After placing the order, Walker left the fabric shop and left the rest to the old housekeeper!
To be honest, he came and went in a hurry the first two times, and he didn't visit the place well.
"Dad, wait for me!" Just as he was about to leave, Fick quickly followed!
Walker ignored him and walked around on his own.
This was the first time he knew the whole picture of the town.
Centered on the large warehouse in the middle.
On the road from the warehouse to the port, all kinds of commodities are wholesaled, and the prices are much cheaper than the market prices outside.
People come and go here, and various goods are pushed by carts and transported to the port. Whenever there is not enough goods in a store, a lot of goods will be shipped from the large warehouse in the middle!
On the avenue to the left of the warehouse, there are various entertainment venues such as taverns, casinos and so on.
However, there is no one here and it is not open for business!
On the avenue to the right of the big warehouse, there are some restaurants and hotels, which are already open for business.
But not many!
Walker knows that no one is only temporary, and now everyone is busy making money from the time difference!
Not to mention staying for one night, there is no time to eat!
After all, it is better to make money than to eat!
"Dad, let's go eat, I'm hungry!" Fick said, pointing to one of the restaurants.
"En!" Walker nodded slightly, just as he was also a little hungry.
This shop is called gnawed chicken!
Eat chicken! ?
The name immediately aroused Walker's curiosity.
walked in.
"Sir, welcome!" The waiter said without saying a word.
"Bring me some of your specialty dishes!" Fick said hurriedly.
"Okay sir, please sit here!" The waiter nodded, then led them to a table, "Sir, please pay the bill first!"
"Okay, how much?" Walker nodded.
"A whole family meal, a total of 10,000 Baileys!" The waiter said with a smile.
After Walker paid the money, he asked the waiter, "Can you tell me about the situation in your kingdom!"
This is the main purpose of Walker's meal, in order to inquire about the situation in the Kingdom of Saint Martin.
The waiter nodded without hesitation.
Now the entire Blood Harbor Town is from St. Maarten, directly employed by the kingdom, and trained to know what to say and what not to say!
After the conversation, Walker had a general understanding of the Kingdom of St. Martin.
The powerful kingdom, the powerful army, and the rich heritage all made Walker deeply curious about Arthur, the king. What kind of king can lead such a kingdom?
With a sigh, Walker asked the waiter with a hint of curiosity, "What does your king look like?"
After thinking for a while, the waiter didn't know how to describe it, so he simply took out a Saint Martin coin with a face value of one hundred from his pocket!
"Look, this is our king!" The waiter pointed to the portrait on the banknote and said.
"hiss--"
Walker took a closer look and took a deep breath.
Unexpectedly, this king is so young!
Immediately, he was stunned again, this piece of paper obviously looked like money!
Moreover, the workmanship is much more refined than Bailey!
"By the way, what is this?" Walker said, pointing to the banknotes.
"This is the St. Martin's coin in our kingdom. One St. Martin's coin can be exchanged for ten Baileys in the kingdom! You can also spend it directly with us!" The waiter explained casually.
"Oh?" Walker asked with interest, "Can Bailey be exchanged for Saint Martin coins?"
"Yes, but it needs to be exchanged at the Royal Bank. The Royal Bank of Blood Harbor Town has not yet opened, and it will take some time before the exchange can be done!" the waiter explained.
Walker nodded.
At this time, the whole family package came up.
Coke, hamburgers, and fried chicken add up to only a dozen kinds, and the portion is not large, but the price is 10,000 Baileys, which is quite expensive in other places.
However, Walker was not short of the money, picked up a hamburger and bit it down.
"Yeah! It tastes good!" Walker nodded and killed the entire burger in one bite.
Then he grabbed another fried chicken and gnawed it.
At this moment, he suddenly understood a little why the name of the store was called gnawing chicken!
