"What does this kid want to do? Buy four armored cities to feed the 'Red Cube Sugar'? Who the hell came up with this name? It's so ugly!"
Codian looked at the details of the 'purchasing list' in his hand and cursed angrily.
In fact, after I bought a stake in the 'Castle Sugar Company' the day before yesterday, I regretted it when I came back after paying the money. Five hundred and fifty thousand silver cattle coins were enough to buy a large iron-clad city. With so much money, what could I do wrong?
If you go and invest in a bullshit sugar company, you’re going to have water in your head!
I don’t know why I was ‘fooled’ by others just because I was so hot-headed!
It was true that his body hurt, but the money had already been handed over to the Castle. It might not be that easy to get it back. He understood the truth, so he suppressed the discomfort in his heart and did not go to Li Yinguang.
make trouble.
It's just that I haven't thought about food or food in the past two days, and I have lost several pounds due to hunger!
Now that I saw the so-called "purchasing list" sent over by Li Yinguang, my eyes immediately turned red.
Five armored cities, one can swallow four, and be upgraded to a 'Red Cube Sugar'?
Isn’t this a waste of money?
600,000 silver bull coins. What can you do with so much money? Buy and upgrade the armored city for a group of refugees. You have so much money and no place to spend it?
In addition to the armored city, hundreds of mechanical vehicles, a large number of weapons and equipment, as well as cold-proof clothing, tent quilts, and a workshop for plowing sweetgrass roots and boiling sugar were purchased. How many mechanical vehicles, weapons and equipment were used?
"I think this is just a way of enriching one's own pockets by pretending to be a public servant. They purchase hundreds of thousands of silver coins at a time. I don't believe that they don't have any tricks behind their backs!"
Codean slammed the table angrily and yelled at his men.
One is angry, the other is distressed!
You must know that among all this money, there are 550,000 silver cattle coins of my own!
Regarding the "purchasing list" sent by the Iron Castle, the other major shareholders had mixed reactions. Some expressed happiness, while others frowned, and some, like Codean, cursed in private.
However, the money is on the books of the Gubao Sugar Company, and the sugar company is fully managed by Li Yinguang, so it’s not up to him to decide how the money is spent!
No matter how much money was spent and what was purchased, if someone can send someone a "purchasing list", it is considered to be the most benevolent thing!
"Have the manpower been recruited?"
Li Yinguang asked the housekeeper Goda.
There are mechanical vehicles and there is no shortage of weapons and equipment, but it still cannot change the fact that the employees of the sugar company are a group of refugees and a ragtag group of people.
Some people even don't know how to drive vehicles or use purchased weapons and equipment, so someone must teach them.
From machine driving, to the use of weapons and equipment, to daily combat training, everyone needs to be taught.
"According to your instructions, I went to the 'Mercenary Association' today, and the other party promised to send a team of thirty instructors to help the sugar company train personnel."
Butler Godar paused for a moment and whispered: "But the fees of the 'Mercenary Association' are not very cheap. Thirty people, for half a month, asked for fifteen thousand silver cattle coins. In the end, they bargained, and it was not easy."
Talking about nine thousand silver ox coins!"
Li Yinguang smiled bitterly and said: "It's really not cheap. It costs twenty silver ox coins per person per day!"
"Isn't it?" Butler Goda nodded.
"There is nothing we can do about this. If no one teaches this group of people, they will always be a mob. Even if it hurts, we still have to spend the money!" Li Yinguang paused for a moment, then continued: "But try to make it worth the money.
Well worth the money!”
"Tell Song Changsheng, Mu Yunying and the others that during the training with the mercenary instructors we invited, whoever disobeys me will be whipped hard with a whip. Within half a month, they will be required to drive mechanical vehicles, use weapons and equipment, and conduct daily training."
If anyone fails to meet the standards for these basic things, then there is no need to join the escort team, and they will all be forced to do hard work for me, digging sweet grass vines, and see who dares to be lazy!"
"Yes!" Butler Goda smiled.
I am afraid that only Li Yinguang would be willing to spend nearly ten thousand silver ox coins to hire thirty instructors from the Mercenary Association to provide training for the employees of the sugar company.
Li Yinguang's purpose is very simple. He does not want this group of rabble to become elites, but he must master the technologies that need to be mastered and have certain combat literacy. Everything cannot be prepared for them, including vehicles and weapons and equipment.
Weapons and equipment, when you really get started with them, you will only be so scared that you will wet your pants, cry for your parents and turn around and run away!
Although it may not be possible to develop combat literacy in half a month, I believe there will always be gains if you continue to train unremittingly.
"If you sweat more in normal times, you will bleed less when it comes to actual combat experience. I hope everyone can understand this truth!" Li Yinguang muttered softly.
In the evening, the old dog came back.
"How are you today?" Li Yinguang asked.
The old dog shook his head: "Nothing happened. The total output of the three sweet grass vine digging sites reached 220,000 kilograms, and the production capacity of red cube sugar also reached 18,000 kilograms, faster than expected."
Thirty-six thousand pounds?
Li Yinguang nodded with satisfaction. If this value spreads out, it is estimated that those shareholders who have invested in the "Sugar Company" will go crazy with joy.
"The total number of employees in the sugar industry is more than 3,200. Among them, there are about 1,800 coolies responsible for digging and mining sweetgrass vines. There are three mining areas, with about 600 people in each mining area. The transportation team is about
There are four hundred people, and the remaining people are responsible for deep processing of sweet grass vines, cleaning, crushing, juicing, and finally entering the cooking process. After the division of labor, the speed has been accelerated by more than a third." Lao Gou briefly introduced.
"good!"
Li Yinguang nodded and asked the housekeeper Goda: "How is the brown sugar shipment in the town?"
Butler Golda shook his head: "Alma is in charge of this matter, I'm not too sure!"
Li Yinguang smiled and said: "Your wife is about to give birth, and you still ask her to do this. Is there no manpower in the Iron Armor City?"
“I don’t trust others to take charge!”
Alma opened the door and walked in, snorting coldly and said: "Today, less than 4,000 kilograms of red sugar cubes were sold in the town, and the sales volume was far from expected!"
He looked up at Li Yinguang: "Moreover, many of these are predetermined amounts of red sugar cubes. Now Manbach Town can consume about 30,000 cups of 'sugar water' at noon and evening, which translates into a weight of up to 500 kilograms of red sugar cubes.
Calculating based on this value, even if the town of Manbach can sell 100,000 cups of sugar water a day, it will consume up to 1,500 kilograms of brown sugar in a day."
The 'Red Cube Sugar Company' can now produce more than 36,000 kilograms of red cube sugar every day. According to Alma, the production capacity is seriously overcapacity, and the red cube sugar produced will not be sold at all in a short period of time.
Stacked in the warehouse.
Li Yinguang smiled and said: "Even if you can only consume 500 kilograms of brown sugar a day, then it will be 15,000 kilograms a month. If you reach the peak of 100,000 cups as you said, then you can consume 45,000 kilograms a month.
Thousands of kilograms of red sugar cubes. Don’t forget, this is a place!”
He looked up at the housekeeper, Goda, and asked, "Have you got any news from the sugar company salesmen?"
The housekeeper Geda nodded: "The snowy wasteland supply point camp will cost five thousand kilograms of red sugar cubes, the Zhenbei Iron Mine Miner Camp will cost three thousand kilograms, the Zhenbei Ancient Battlefield temporary camp will cost four thousand kilograms, and the ninth monitoring point camp will cost two thousand kilograms.
Thousands of pounds, there is no news from other remote villages and towns yet!"
Li Yinguang asked with some surprise: "What is the situation at the ninth monitoring point camp? Why are there so many?"
Butler Goda shook his head: "The details are not very clear. You need to ask the business personnel sent there!"
Lan Ling said from the side: "The ninth monitoring point belongs to the Imperial Legion sequence. Even if you can't use it all, you can still put it in the warehouse to reserve supplies, so you will purchase more!"
Li Yinguang touched his chin and muttered: "So that's it!"
Alma frowned and said: "Even if there are orders from several major camps, the total quantity is only tens of thousands of kilograms. The Red Cube Sugar's one-day production capacity can meet the needs of all places!"
Li Yinguang smiled: "Don't worry, it won't always be like this in the future. We have to take a long-term view. We are not afraid of large production capacity, but we are afraid that sales will increase. When the production capacity cannot keep up, that will be worrying!"
When the business channels are rolled out, there are thousands of villages and towns in the Manbach Town area, and even if they only consume 100 kilograms per month, it is not a small number every month.
"And in the future, Red Cube Sugar's production capacity may not be able to maintain this output!" Li Yinguang whispered thoughtfully.
"The boss is worried that the excavation speed of 'Sweet Grass Vine' cannot keep up?" The old dog quickly understood what the city lord was worried about.
According to the sugar company's current excavation rate, which is more than 200,000 kilograms a day, the sweet grass vine area outside the town will soon be cleared.
Without the sweet grass vine, the production capacity on Red Cube Sugar will naturally decrease.
"Sweet grass vine is not an inexhaustible material, and we are the only ones mining it now. If someone in the future reacts and treats 'sweet grass vine' as a material and digs it all, the cost will increase. So, tell Song Changsheng
Before the smart people in the town could react, they dug up as many sweetgrass vines as possible!" Li Yinguang nodded.
The process of boiling brown sugar is not complicated. Once someone explores and studies it thoroughly, the value of 'Sweet Grass Vine' will be highlighted. Not everyone will join the 'sugar making' industry by then, but the organization
If someone goes out of town to dig up sweetgrass vines, there may not be anyone left to do it.
Relatively speaking, the risk factor of digging and mining sweetgrass vine rhizomes outside the town is not high. It can be done by hiring some refugees and getting some digging machinery. It can completely copy the model of the "Castle Sugar Company".
By then, there will be more teams digging and mining sweetgrass vines, and it will be difficult for sugar companies to imagine how easy it is to mine sweetgrass vines now.
"While there are no competitors, we will increase our efforts to mine sweetgrass vine rhizomes and store as much brown sugar as possible to cope with the changing market in the future!"
