Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 489 Business Tips
A large number of ships, most of them transport ships, came to the outpost located in the northern part of Qingyan Port.

After the fighting ended, many soldiers were given their first vacation in years, returning to Ulthuan for three months of leisure.

The same is true for Mrs. Kisley whose employment period has ended. The cabin is full of booty enough for any pirate to peep. In order to ensure the safety of returning to the old world, a small fleet of escorts was hired at an extra cost.

These poor ghosts can finally support their waists and say, I am rich now, and I am no longer working hard for a piece of potato.

Mazov finally told his old friend at the port, "Remember, when you come back, please bring hope."

Although puzzled, Raskol nodded and waved goodbye to the people on board. Two years will pass soon.

A sound of farewell began to be heard, and some soldiers who had established a friendship with Madam Kisley played music and sent her farewell words to the beat of the drum. This time, leaving means that they may never see each other again in this life.

The flowers were sprinkled on the sea, and with the ripples of the ship sailing, they drifted to every corner of the world.

Although he was a little bit reluctant, Lasker was still ready to face the rest of his life. When he was about to leave, he found a familiar figure standing not far away.

He took a few steps forward and greeted loudly,

"Olivia, why are you here, didn't you get the ticket to return home?"

Oliveira stopped waving his hands, and when he heard the ridicule, his face became stern.
"Pay attention to your identity, Lasker. My position in the army is two ranks higher than yours. You should call me officer or captain."

But Lasker curled his lips in disdain, "Sorry, I am no longer a soldier, so I have to salute you for no reason."

These words reminded Oliveira suddenly, as if he was no longer an officer, and suddenly felt tragic.

"Forget it, don't bother with you barbarian, what are you going to do next?"

"I will go to Taal Kared with the prince, study in the academy for two years, and then return to the country to establish a chamber of commerce and find a place to make a living for the Crittonals who have lost their homes."

Oliveira, who didn't know the palace plan, agreed with this idea. Although he didn't participate in the Great Holy War, he still knew what kind of place Kislev was from chatting with other people along the way.

"Well, to be honest, I agree with this plan very much. If you want to establish a chamber of commerce, you'd better ask His Excellency Ed Terris to provide some support."

"That's for sure. His Excellency Ed Tailis agrees with my plan, but..."

"Just what?"

Raskel recalled that Edteris had a strange expression, which may be because the Dragon Prince felt that he had no business acumen, so he was like this.

After thinking about it, answer Oliveira,
"Maybe he thought I lacked a bit of business acumen, and was afraid that all the money I got during my employment would be lost."

While talking, the two began to walk towards the south side by side. Oliveira put forward a little insight into this situation,

"I have summed up a few reasons why Caledo has developed so rapidly in the past few years. In view of your good performance before, I can give you a reference."

"Please tell me." Laskol was a little curious. Oliveira was a nice person, somewhat similar to himself, and both liked to think.

However, he prefers to think about some more abstract things. For example, when he was in the southern Great Forest Sea, he made a lot of incisive but very weird insights on the relationship between the Sotek Sect and the Ratmen.

Oliveira cleared his throat and said what everyone knew,
"First of all, you must have something that others don't have, so that it can be profitable. For example, the magic equipment produced by Vaal Anvil is priced at one thousand gold leaf coins by the court. That is one thousand gold leaf coins. I think it is high, and it is also the price. .”

Raskol nodded to express his understanding, but he had a small doubt in his heart. For one thousand gold leaf coins, the total salary of each mercenary was three hundred gold leaf coins. Converting it into the gold coins used by Kislev would roughly There are around 450.

Including other things that can be obtained all the time, there are about 16 gold leaf coins per person, which means that Val Anvil can get out just one thing, and it will be worth [-] years' wages.

"Secondly, there must be a reputation. The Vaal anvil paired with Caledon means that the largest ordnance manufacturing point is paired with the strongest military kingdom. No one dares to doubt the quality."

"So I need to find some materials that others don't have, and they are urgently needed by the market, and people must understand that this thing is definitely worth the money." Laskoll briefly concluded, but Oliveira's meaning is not only in this way.

"No, no, the most important thing is that you have the ability to turn the table and not follow the rules set by others."

"For example, Lothern was the only legal place for foreign trade in Ulthuan before, so the prince would not take the trade route from here, and created a baby dragon bay alone. There is no way to build a large-scale industrial zone in Caledor, so then Come to Lustria to do it. In the end, a lot of gold coins will flow to the palace, otherwise how could it be possible to support such frequent wars."

Apparently Laskoll began to understand the meaning of these words, and couldn't help giving Oliveira a thumbs up,
"What you said is very reasonable. The scarce supplies in the front are okay. But the latter point seems to lack practical significance. Whoever has such strong strength like the prince can give him two slaps if he is upset."

Oliveira hecked twice, thinking that the barbarian's vision was too short-sighted,

"Hehe, let me tell you a piece of data. Let me not talk about the Phoenix King's Court. Itain's noble council accidentally revealed its financial report ten years ago. It's just that the kingdoms lease Lothern's wharf and earn money from the flow of goods. The price difference, the annual net interest rate is 70 gold leaf coins."

He was a little dumbfounded by this astronomical figure. When he learned that Edteris gave him [-] gold leaf coins, he thought it was the most money he had ever seen in his life. There are also some commodity price differences that can have such a high profit.

"Of course, because of the price of Itain, these gold leaf coins are a little watery, but gold is not deceiving, and it can shine with the light of gods anywhere." Oliveira explained for a moment, looking at the still The stupefied savage smiled disdainfully and said,
"You still have a lot of things to consider. Don't think that with this money you can go back to Kislev, and you will be able to live in peace and security. If you just want to make a living, then buy a piece of land to grow potatoes. I guarantee you People in my hometown will not starve to death, but if you want to live a good life..."

Thinking of something, Oliveira chose to shut up, looked at the entrance of the outpost, turned around, and said goodbye to the barbarian.

"I still have something to do, so I will go ahead. I wish you a good experience in Kared."

Without waiting for Laskoll to ask what he meant, Oliveira immediately ran towards the post station, for fear of touching any sensitive topic next.

"What exactly does he mean?" Lasker felt a little confused about Oliveira's thoughts, and then talked about the method of business operation, and vaguely revealed an urge to flip the table.

Forget it, let’s take one step at a time. If you have money in hand, you don’t have to panic about anything.

After thinking it over, the former non-commissioned officer walked slowly towards Qingyan Port in the south, and took a carriage along the way, moving closer to hope, or perhaps despair.
