Apart from anything else, the kerosene business alone has given shareholders a boost of confidence, making them more hopeful and satisfied with the company's future.
I believe that after this news spreads from shareholders, the company's stock may experience a second surge.
Mondeo continued his statement:
"Secondly, our company has the most powerful logistics fleet in the empire. Now we have more than 130 trucks, thousands of carriages, and a total of 5,000 transportation workers. At the speed of trucks, we can transport anything within three days.
Delivery to the entire Carter Province!”
"Oh my god, covering the entire province's transportation fleet? Wouldn't it soon expand the business to the neighboring Levi province?" The directors expressed shock.
Catrons is located in the center right of Catrons Province, close to the Levy Province. The capital of Levy Province, Revell Provincial City, and the imperial capital Catrons are only separated by the Longk Mountains, and only the mountain tunnels and mountain roads have been opened.
It was difficult, so the only way to go to Levi Province was to go around the foot of the mountain. As a result, the two cities closest to each other in a straight line became the two farthest cities because the mountain road was so detoured.
"Yes, it's just that the transportation in Leiwei Province is inconvenient and we haven't expanded our business for the time being." Mondeo replied proudly: "When the Longke Road is built, we can fill this gap. The above is what I want to talk about."
Seeing Linda nodding, Mondeo returned to sit on the chair by the wall.
The directors were so excited that they could hardly contain themselves.
"It turns out that the company has already shifted its target to Levi Province."
"Yes, Levy Province is the most populous province in the empire. Once we expand our business, we will earn more than hundreds of thousands of dollars a month from briquettes alone. Isn't it just a joke?"
"But Longke Road is a big problem..."
The directors couldn't help but sigh.
As for those nobles who still have Xiao Jiujiu, they must also consider that if they wait until the company's business expands there, their briquettes will not have room to survive. It is better to actively hand over the existing market in exchange for necessary shares or cash.
actual.
Lest the company's business expands and you end up not being the same person inside and out.
As for those who still want to resist, there are almost no people who are not smart enough to participate in the shareholders' meeting.
As the output of coal mines increases and large-scale transportation fleets are established, the local costs they are proud of are not worth mentioning in front of the company.
For example, a noble in a certain area has no coal in his area, so the coal for briquettes can only be imported from Catrons. The price of briquettes in this region is two cents higher than Catrons.
As the company has more and more coal kilns and more output, they will definitely form a monopoly on coal in the entire Catrons Empire. By then, they will have no price advantage, even if the local workers who make briquettes do not need wages.
If they are all replaced as slaves, they will only have a slight advantage in labor prices. As long as the company deliberately mentions coal, they will completely become the company's workers. If the price of briquettes is raised, the company's market price briquettes will enter the market and kill them in an instant.
To squeeze out the market.
This is a dead end, unless the briquettes produced by the royal family enter the scene, but that will only hurt both sides, and the royal family will not do such a thankless thing.
After a clear thought, directors are like young people who have just begun to fall in love when they see the girl they love.
That fiery look in her eyes made Linda feel a little hairy.
"Chairman!"
Now a certain earl ignored the rules and shouted loudly: "Tell me your next plan?"
"Yes, Chairman, just say it, we believe you!"
Viscount Peart and others also started shouting.
Only the great nobles like the Grand Duke of Titans remained reserved and did not speak.
In the end, at Linda's suggestion, Imperial Kerosene and Gas Group Co., Ltd. funded the construction of the Longk Highway. However, it required a certificate from the Empire. After all, this road was completely funded and built by Imperial Kerosene and Gas Group Co., Ltd. Once it was officially opened to traffic, Lei
Weihang Province and Carter Province will be closely connected.
This will undoubtedly be of great benefit to the two provinces, and the Imperial Kerosene and Gas Group Co., Ltd., which fully invests in the highway, naturally cannot invest in vain. Linda wants the operating rights of the Longk Highway. After the highway is opened to traffic, the two provinces will
Build a toll station at the end of the land and collect tolls for twenty years. After twenty years, the management of the Longk Road will be handed over to the empire.
As soon as these words came out, the entire conference room fell into silence.
They naturally understand the importance of the road being opened to traffic. The great nobles headed by Marquis Dean Luke even considered how to use the empire's finances. After all, this is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. Naturally, it is impossible for the Empire Kerosene Oil and Gas Group Co., Ltd. to be the only one.
, they know very well that as long as the business of Imperial Kerosene and Gas Group Co., Ltd. expands to Levi Province, its annual income will at least double in the future, and it will use Levi Province as a springboard to expand to other provinces.
Not a dream.
They never expected that Linda would pull this off.
"Will Your Majesty agree?" Marquis Xiao Jie asked doubtfully.
Everyone set their sights on the Grand Duke of Titans and Marquis Dean Luke.
Marquis Dean Luke finally gave the answer.
"The likelihood of consent is very high."
This is the answer given by Marquis Dean Luke after making financial estimates in his mind.
Grand Duke Titans asked: "Your Excellency, Chairman, I wonder how the toll will be calculated at that time?"
Linda naturally understood what the Grand Duke was thinking, and said: "Of course it is calculated based on the number of vehicles, not the goods. For example, a truck costs ten dollars, a horse-drawn carriage costs two dollars, and a carriage costs five dollars. The prices are all reasonable and acceptable."
scope."
Increasing exchanges between the two places is a matter of benefit to the country and the people, and the Grand Duke of Titans will naturally not agree to lose its original meaning due to profit-making.
The Grand Duke of Titans also responded.
"I need to make a decision on this price after reaching agreement with a think tank."
Linda immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and both of them opened their mouths to express their willingness to make suggestions to His Majesty the Emperor.
Viscount Jesses asked: "The opening of the two places will indeed bring huge benefits to the company, but I still don't understand your true purpose, Chairman?"
This was also the first time Viscount Jesses made a formal speech since the meeting began, and his speech caused an instant silence in the entire conference room.
Because many times, Viscount Jesses speaks on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor.
"It's very simple, to make a fortune."
Linda's answer left all the directors stunned. They didn't quite understand what Linda meant.
The purpose of expanding Levi Province was indeed to make money, but they still heard another meaning from Linda.
