311, Thanks to the strange empty monthly ticket under the business cooperation with Kapoor Port
"This sword was made by Master Bart Stormpike." Sean explained: "The master was in my town recently. The sword has just been out of the furnace a few days ago and is still hot."
Isabel was taken aback and looked at the long sword again:
"This is actually done by Old Bart? No wonder I feel familiar...But Old Bart is Welness's treasure! Why did he come to Riverside Town?"
"That's right..." Sean told the entire process of how the dwarf blacksmith came to Riverside Town, and finally added:
"Master Bart Stormpike has decided to live in my town permanently and will not leave for the next one or two years."
"Sean, you did a great job!" Isabel said happily: "I'm going to meet old Bart later. We are also friends, but we haven't seen each other for two or three years."
At this time, Powell, who was standing next to him, suddenly said: "Your Excellency Isabel, can you show me this long sword?"
Isabel glanced at Powell, and then threw the sword directly to him.
After Powell took the sword, he couldn't wait to look at it.
Unlike Isabel who was just mildly surprised, Powell's eyes nearly popped out of his head after seeing the dagger.
This is not because this long sword was made by a dwarf master, but because of the fiery red gem inlaid on the hilt.
Powell couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the inlay workmanship of this gemstone.
...
This matter also starts from Powell’s own experience.
Powell is a magician and has been obsessed with making wands, enchanting, gem setting, etc. since he was a child.
Lumièster, the largest port in the Anjou Kingdom, is home to a large number of magicians. Almost all magic equipment imported from the Anjou Kingdom must pass through his hands.
Powell himself was also proficient in gem inlay, but after looking at the gem inlay technique on the hilt of the long sword in his hand, he suddenly felt that the gem inlay technique he had mastered was simply rubbish, as if there was a huge gap in the middle.
It's like the frustration a man with a matchlock feels when he sees a Maxim heavy machine gun.
Powell quickly used his magic power to experiment. The gems on the sword hilt were made of ordinary bronze-level magic crystals with some special materials. After the experiment, he was surprised to find that the "energy conversion rate" of the gems was much higher than expected!
An important parameter indicator in the gem setting industry is "energy conversion rate".
The conversion rate for ordinary gem craftsmen is about 15%, for experts it can reach 23%-27%, and at the master level it must reach at least 40%.
But the energy conversion rate of the magic crystal on the hilt of the long sword in front of me is at least 70%! This is simply an ability that only the master among masters can have!
So Powell asked Sean respectfully:
"I would like to take the liberty to ask, Your Highness Sean, is there a gem setting master in your territory?"
"Have you seen all this?" Sean was a little surprised: "But don't tell anyone, this master doesn't like to be disturbed."
"Understood! Understood!" Powell nodded repeatedly and said with admiration: "In the past, Master Stormpike's technology combined with top-notch gem inlay craftsmanship would have caused a sensation across the country. But now... Alas!
"
Thinking of the currently divided Principality of Lane, Powell couldn't help but sigh again.
Sean patted Powell on the shoulder and encouraged:
"It's okay. If it doesn't work at home, we can attract strong people from abroad!
Powell, we can use the best auction house in Port Caple to auction these high-end weapons, and even quotas for customized weapons. There must be many strong men in the Anjou Kingdom who are willing to come...
Now that you have seen the specialties of Hetan Town, let’s go back to the castle to discuss the next step of cooperation!”
"Okay, His Highness Sean! If these high-end weapons are auctioned in Port Caple, I will be able to support a large part of the residents in the city." Powell said excitedly.
At the same time, Powell bowed to Sean. The various high-quality goods in Hetan Town made him full of confidence in the future of Port Kapur.
Although it's a little worse than before, it's not unbearable anymore.
...
...
Within the next two hours, Sean took Powell, Isabel and Daniel back to the castle to discuss business cooperation and signed a magical contract for cooperation.
First, perfume and dwarf spirits. These two items are manufactured in Port Capul. Sean provides guidance workers and formulas. The Eagle family provides the site, workers, materials, publicity and others, and the net profit is split 50-50;
Second, soap and soap. These are all produced in Hetan Town and sold to the Eagle Family. The price is 6 copper coins/block for soap and 3 silver coins/block for soap, which is 40% less than Bjorn City. The transportation costs are borne by the Eagle Family (soap and
The cost of soap is only 1.5 copper coins/block);
Third, high-end weapons auction. The Eagle family is responsible for all the venue, publicity, labor and other expenses for the auction of high-end weapons and customized weapons. Sean gets 100% of the proceeds from the auction weapons.
This does not mean that the Eagle family cannot make money. Other items are auctioned at auctions, and the food, clothing and housing of foreign powerful people always cost money, and all these profits belong to the Eagle family.
It is equivalent to saying that Sean has rebuilt the auction house originally planned to be built in River Beach Town in Kapur Port;
Fourth, Sean and the Eagle family will give 10% of the profits from perfume, spirits, and auction houses to Isabel and Daniel as "protection fees" to support their development in Port Capul.
Of course, Isabel wants to protect Kapurport's related industries.
The above are the four main contents of cooperation. I will not go into details about the remaining ones, such as the port of Kapur transporting a large number of slaves to Hetan Town and encouraging the unemployed to come to Hetan Town for re-employment.
...
...
After signing the cooperation contract, Sean took the butler Henry to send the group of people out of Hetan Town.
Now the main road from Hetan Town to Jon City and then to Port Kapur is closed, but there is a small road across the Morning Star River, and they took that road to Port Kapur.
Standing by the Morning Star River, Sean couldn't help but stretched as he watched Daniel and his group heading east, and said to Henry, the butler beside him:
"This is finally over!"
Henry, the butler, also sighed: "Yes, sir. Although we can't go to Jon City to sell things for the time being, we can go to Kapur Port, where there is a bigger market!"
Henry also felt that everything that happened in River Beach Town seemed like a dream.
When Sean first came to Riverside Town, he only had Windsor, a low-ranking black iron man, by his side, but now there are sky-level powerhouses stationed in the territory.
And all this has only passed a little over a month ago!
"Don't worry, Henry." Sean smiled and walked back on the road, and said very confidently:
"From now on, I will open the trade routes from Riverbank Town to Yoen City, to Palomia, to Vernis, and even to the Elf Kingdom."
Chapter completed!
