Brother Manu has been very busy recently and feels a little overwhelmed.
Blackwater City is not as good as Pangxun City, but at least it is a serious city with a lord, not as lawless as Red Stone City.
The Manu brothers are outsiders in Blackwater City and can easily be bullied when doing ordinary business, but buying coal for coking and exporting is not included in this category.
Those who can control the coal mines themselves are big shots, and they will also worry about the sales of these broken black stones. As long as they can increase sales for them, they are friends. In addition, coking can also provide jobs for a small number of free people, which is a plus point for the city lord, and the city lord's armed forces will not ignore it if something goes wrong.
After scattering dozens of gold coins in the city to open up connections, the establishment of the coking coal factory went smoothly. However, the two Manu brothers were busy making money and did not have much time to keep an eye on them. As a last resort, they called in Brother Bron, who was not yet fully grown up, to help. Responsible for the Heishui City Coking Coal Plant.
There is no need for Bronn tubes for transportation. The Manu brothers will set off with the transportation team when they pass by.
The brothers really learned the lesson from Red Rock City and did not dare to eat alone. Although the caravan would go with the local transport team, they still hired local mercenaries to protect the goods.
Together with production and transportation, it solves the life problems of more than 50 local people. Even the two-headed cattle used for transportation are bought locally as much as possible, which is considered a safe investment.
After more than a month of preparation and production, the workers’ temporary housing was still thatched huts, and the first batch of goods had been collected.
The Manu brothers' own small caravan has also expanded its recruitment. In addition to adding a few more security personnel, there are also more porters. They hope that one day they can form a caravan that can make money automatically without them having to worry about it.
Together, the two teams added up to more than a dozen cattle and more than sixty people, which could already be called a large-scale caravan.
There is no need to hide the goods, just put the coking coal in woven baskets and hang them on the cattle. Strong men on the road will not be tempted to take risks with dozens of people when they see this crap.
The two brothers' own goods were also included in it. In addition to salt and yellow silk, they also added dried fish and clothing. The new goods were not much, so they went to Phoenix City to try the water first.
In fact, these goods with uncertain marketability can also be disposed of in Blackwater City, but there is no need to create extraneous problems. It is often easy to cause problems when competing with locals for business on these common goods.
There was strength in numbers, except for the caravan encountering Red Rock City which was a bit disturbing on the way, the journey to Phoenix City was uneventful.
There is only one ice dragon cub left outside the city. I heard from the guard that the other two were beaten and eaten by His Highness the Special Envoy. I don’t know how long this can only last.
The two brothers have never met the special envoys. According to their opinion, it is best not to meet these big shots in their lives. Many stories about the disappearance of businessmen are related to them.
Another problem was discovered when disposing of the goods.
"Brother, there are too many people and cattle among us, and there is no place to live."
"Sleep on the floor first."
"Let's get a shed of some kind."
It's not that my brother is kind-hearted, but he is worried that these people will feel psychologically uncomfortable and no one will be able to help when the time comes to fight a strong man.
"In this case, you take a few people to see if there is a hotel, and I will go to the market to handle the goods."
The types of residents in Phoenix are too pure. Being all locals is not conducive to the development of hotels. Moreover, many people seem to have no place to live and can only sleep in ground squares.
If there are a few people or a dozen, just find a few families to stay overnight. It is difficult to arrange for more than 60 people without a hotel.
Brother Manu used an extra language knowledge capsule, and it took him half a day to accommodate more than a dozen people.
Others can only deal with it in the corner for one night, and when the goods are purchased the next day, most of the security personnel will be sent to Red Rock City to wait.
Since the expedition transit function was abandoned in Red Rock City, there are no hotels left, but there are some uninhabited houses.
As a result, Manu's brother went away with someone, but finally came back to sleep on the floor!
Although sleeping on the floor is uncomfortable, the dozen or so people who have been here know that sleeping on the floor here is far safer than sleeping in a room in Red Rock City.
When people go out to do business, they don’t have much expectations for living conditions. The most important thing is to be able to return home safely with pay.
What's the use of having a high salary if you die on the way.
If not, you still have to apply to build a shed in the city.
I was having a headache about accommodation when a child came to my door.
The shipping cost for Master Oran's packages and letters is 10 gold coins. After completion, you can get some free language knowledge capsules from Master Oran's Phoenix Prop Shop, or exchange them for three-ring shield spell crystals.
The two brothers didn't dare to neglect, so they quickly wrapped it up layer by layer and put it in their brother's luggage to carry it on their own without letting anyone know.
The two of them were not sure about the relationship between Olan and Liv, and being so cautious had nothing to do with Liv, because Olan himself was well-known in Pangxun City and was the only half-elf intermediate mage in Pangxun City.
In the eyes of the Manu brothers, the mid-level mage is already a top figure, and even five gold coins a day cannot hold up in the mercenary industry.
The brothers are also trying to make some changes to the products on the return trip.
The Manu brothers have some business talent. After selling obsidian several times, they also realized that as the sales volume increased, it became increasingly difficult to sell at high prices.
As the scale of the caravan expands and its transport capacity becomes stronger, it is necessary to consider selling some products that are less profitable per unit but are easier to sell in volume.
Unfortunately, Phoenix is a new city, there are few types of workshops, and the products available are relatively limited.
The most profitable ones are still the same ones, sugar water, sulfur, obsidian, and iron ingots.
The bastards in Red Rock City seem to be in the sugar business from here to Blackwater City. The brothers have limited strength and are temporarily unable to maintain another workshop in Phoenix City, so they can only pick up what others have left.
Sulfur and obsidian are the same type of goods. Only alchemists and a few people can buy them. The rest can be bought by iron.
Ten tons of iron!
This number is absolutely impossible to transport out of the city in other cities, but there is no restriction on uu reading in Phoenix City. When trading, you can get another way to make a fortune from the warehouse management of the iron factory.
"The Sword Comes"
The ironworks have to increase production again, and the iron ore in Nanzhen may not be able to keep up with demand. The ironworks will take in as much ore as they want at a price of 100 to 130 yuan per ton.
The coking coal obtained by the Manu brothers can be sold to the iron factory for 132 yuan per kilogram. If the iron ore can also be sold for 130 yuan, then there will be money to be made.
Coking coal needs to be washed for coking, but iron ore can be transported directly after being dug. Even if iron ore mining is a little more difficult, it saves two processes and saves a lot of trouble.
Too many opportunities to make money can also be a headache.
The brothers are still weak, so they can only let it go temporarily until the coke business makes money.
You can also attract big investors from iron ore producing areas to join, but it's not much fun to just earn a fee for running errands, and the risks on the road are still quite high.
If it doesn't work, you can still make some money by selling the news.
The two brothers became obsessed with being profiteers. After discussing it, they decided to split the news into two parts. One part only contained secret trade routes, and the other was news about iron ore acquisitions. However, I wonder if other businessmen could understand that mass selling is actually very profitable.
…
Liv, who returned to Pangxuncheng to live a leisurely life, has been feeling a little bad in the past few days.
It's not like being targeted by the Mother of All or some other god, but it's always bad.
Could it be that something happened to Oran?
...It shouldn't be. Although Olan is her disciple, he is not so close that telepathy can occur.
It wasn't until I received the letter that Olan asked Brother Manu to bring back that day that I realized something was wrong!
It’s been less than two months since I warned you, why did you get on that king’s pirate ship?
He actually asked her to borrow an ancient secret weapon!
Had to go and see what was going on.
