Game of Thrones: Overlord of the Deep Sea

Chapter 99 IQ tax?
half a month later.

The news that Astapor has been taken over by a force called Atlantis is well known in Slaver's Bay.

At the same time, Atlantis announced the establishment of a transit chamber of commerce in Astapor to sell Poseidon's brew.

Only then did the merchants in Slave Bay understand why the name Atlantis was familiar.

Isn't this the city-state behind Julang Marine Merchant, who recently became famous for Sea God Brewing.

According to the news played by Asta, it means that you can buy an unlimited amount of Poseidon's brew in Astapo in the future.

In addition, soap, glass and various handicraft products will also be sold.

As soon as the news was released, the deserted Astapor pier instantly became lively.

Poseidon brewing = profit.

This is the consensus of businessmen, because at some point the unique logo of Haishenniang has become synonymous with luxury.

The nobles and merchants of central and western Essos are proud of being able to taste the various types of wine brewed by the sea god.

The free trade city-states in the east don't know much about Sea God Brew, but they have heard of the name of Sea God Brew.

And according to the news released by Atlantis, there are not only the standard version of Poseidon Brew with 398 Golden Dragons, but also the customized premium version with 648 Golden Dragons.

In addition, there are 128 golden dragons for free, 98 golden dragons for regular editions, and 6 golden dragons for trial editions.

After linking Poseidon wine with luxury goods, Jack decisively adopted some luxury sales models and worked out various versions.

Many merchants who had been docked in Yunkai moved to Astapor after hearing the news.

But soon they discovered that only the trial version of 6 Golden Dragons could be ordered in batches.

Because 98 gold dragons and 128 gold dragons are only sold to nobles, and 398 gold dragons and 648 gold dragons are only sold to royal relatives.

Although they were very dissatisfied with this, they did not dare to make a mistake when facing the Unsullied soldiers stationed around the Julang Pyramid.

However, although other versions cannot be reserved, the trial version of 6 Golden Dragon is still very popular.

In one morning, 6 copies of Lu Jinlong's trial version were pre-ordered.

The trial version of Poseidon Brewing is made from leftover materials, and the cost is almost zero.

In other words, Jack earned five thousand gold dragons in one morning.

It can be seen how high the profit will be when an item is promoted as a luxury item.

People will no longer consider the value of the product itself, but start to think about how much face and vanity this product will bring to him.

The Julang Pyramid, the second largest existing pyramid in Astapor, was occupied by the Julang Chamber of Commerce and transformed into a resident of the Chamber of Commerce.

The first pyramid was occupied by Kaido and transformed into an embassy of the Atlantis Empire.

The third largest pyramid is the administrative office of the Astapor puppet regime.

In the Neptune at the pier, Marty was dining with Jack. Even on board, the food was still plentiful because of the convenience of supplies.

Marty came from Meereen, and because he wanted to establish a branch of the Chamber of Commerce, he just asked Marty to bring a group of backbones from Meereen to Astapor.

With this group of backbone members, the branch chamber of commerce can be established by directly recruiting a group of employees in Astapor.

"Your Majesty, why don't you just wholesale the [-] Golden Dragon Sea God Brew on a large scale?"

Marty is a little puzzled, 6 Golden Dragons' Poseidon Brewing sells a lot, but if 300 Golden Dragons' Poseidon Brewing is sold on a large scale, wouldn't it be faster to make money?

"Because the nobles of Essos are so rich, I didn't expect them to be so willing to spend money for their own vanity."

The great nobles compared slaves, land, wives, gold, and gems, and they compared everything that could be compared.

Naturally, they wouldn't mind comparing their tastes with fine wines now.

"Don't worry, just do as I say, 98 and 128 are only sold to nobles, 398 and 648 are only sold to rulers.

Maybe we don't make money now, but when our chamber of commerce branches are opened all over the world, we will just start to make money. "

"I understand, Your Majesty. When I get back, I will arrange people to buy a piece of land in Yunkai to establish a branch. We will start with Yunkai."

"You don't need to buy the land yourself, just talk to the great sages of Yunkai and ask them to provide the land, otherwise we won't sell Poseidon's brew and other commodities in Yunkai."

Marty was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "Will this make them boycott our products?"

In Marty's view, this is a bit deceptive, just harvest them and ask them to provide land.

"No, they have no shortage of places to build chambers of commerce. As long as they dare to boycott our products, we will say that they have stolen our technology and send troops to attack them."

Jack smiled and patted Marty on the shoulder, "Although our current navy is very weak, with Poseidon around, it is still possible to deal with a weak free trade city-state alone."

Marty was a little dazed when he heard Jack's words. Isn't this a hooligan, who just puts a hat on someone, and then directly sends troops to beat him.

But then Marty was relieved.

More than half a month ago, there was no reason why Astapor was beaten. Jack suddenly appeared in Slaver's Bay, and then turned Astapor into his own colony.

Jack is not worried at all about other people boycotting his products.

Although Atlantis does not have enough talents to occupy and control other trading city-states for the time being, it can still be broken and looted.

The most difficult siege battle is nothing in front of Godzilla, and the Unsullied can easily enter the city.

"Marty, you will be the district president of Slave Bay in the future. I will ask Rutger to arrange two more ministers to assist you when I come back."

Marty's eyes flickered slightly, and then he suggested: "Your Majesty, although Dono is a bit stupid, he works very hard and is very familiar with his work. I think he can serve as the branch president of Meereen well."

Jack immediately understood what Marty was thinking. He wanted to help his brother to the top.

The three city-states of Slave Bay must have three branch presidents. As the district minister, he naturally expected that all three branch presidents would be his own.

"Okay, I'll arrange for two people to come over. As the district president, you are in charge of the entire Slaver's Bay branch. I can see Dono's attitude. Let him be the branch president of Meereen."

"In addition, 20% of the profits from the Sea God Brew sold in Slaver's Bay will be used to promote Sea God Brew."

"Your Majesty, Sea God Brewing is already famous, I think the 20% profit can be saved to expand the factory."

"No matter how famous you are, you still have to publicize it. In the future, Poseidon Noodles will take 20% of the profit for publicity. Luxury goods are IQ tax. If you don't publicize it, how can anyone buy it?"

"I understand, Your Majesty, I will arrange this matter." Seeing that Jack had made up his mind, Marty said no more.

He just gave Jack a suggestion for reference. Marty will never doubt Jack's decision-making, because Jack has never made a mistake in his decision-making.
