"This batch of black wine, trade half of it to the Hammer of Justice. I don't want gold coins, I want grain of equal value, wheat, rye, barley, soybeans, corn, whatever." Gavin began to show his fox tail.
He went to the Battle Valley to open up a new territory, and he also had another important task, which was to stock up on food. A large amount of food, crazy stocking up.
Just when he was worried that there was no good way out, Darnell came to the door himself.
All monasteries and churches were often the actual owners of the land in the surrounding areas, as well as the largest granaries.
There is protection in terms of security, and monasteries often have their own force protection. Without the support of evil gods, ordinary evil forces would not dare to risk blasphemy and attack monasteries.
Food is an excellent way to control and recruit more believers. Some devout believers are often converted from refugees who come to ask for food.
In addition to the farmland cultivated by the monastery, some farmers will cultivate farmland around the monastery to seek shelter.
These yeoman farmers, often believers in these monasteries, donate part of their grain to the monasteries every year in order to express their faith and gratitude for their refuge.
Among them, the monastery of Chantia, the Mother of the Earth, is an exemplary model in this regard.
Although the Hammer of Justice Monastery is a monastery in Tire, it is powerful enough in itself and must be the largest granary near the Tath Gudun Hills.
Darnell's reaction also confirmed this. When he heard that Gavin wanted 100,000 gold coins of grain, he didn't even frown. Instead, he wondered what Gavin would use it for: "What do you want so much grain for? Is it possible?"
, want to expand the manor's new business? Brewing grain wine?
If this is the case, I advise you to give up. Although they are both alcoholic, wine and grain wine processes are completely different.
And you have no advantage, at least compared to our Hammer of Justice, which has inherited hundreds of years of craftsmanship. You don’t have ten years to catch up. What’s more, you rely on food to make wine, and the cost will rise immediately.”
Darnell instinctively thought of the manor winery.
After all, one hundred thousand gold coins of food is not a small amount, enough to support an army of ten thousand people for three months.
There are only a few people in Wezeme Manor now. Even if Gavin goes crazy recruiting troops, there will only be a few hundred people in a year. So much food, if it is not made into wine, will be left here to depreciate and rot.
Gavin showed a mysterious smile and said: "Mr. Darnell doesn't have to worry about the specific purpose. Just tell me whether you want to do this business or not. Whether it's black wine or grain transportation, it doesn't matter to you.
I'm responsible for solving it."
He eats food so crazily, not just to supply the needs of the rocky land.
We are also preparing for the upcoming war at the end of this year.
As the saying goes, before the army and horses move, food and grass go first.
Especially when the army is gathering, food and grass will occupy a crucial position.
Before Tukan's army arrived, food prices in the entire valley were very low.
Once Tukan's hundreds of thousands of troops arrive, especially once Assan III's expedition call is issued, the price of food here will skyrocket. It is no exaggeration to say that it will change three times a day. In just a few months, the price of food here will skyrocket.
It will increase seven or eight times.
Stocking up on food is definitely a sure-fire business.
Gavin has a bigger heart. Not only does he have to stockpile a large amount of grain, he also needs to transport this grain to the front line at the most tense and critical moment, so as to maximize profits.
Hearing what Gavin said, Darnell couldn't help but narrow his eyes, and couldn't help but look at the young man in front of him again. Although the other party didn't say it explicitly, the meaning revealed in his words was very obvious. The other party was not alone.
He is a lone adventurer with a huge identity and background, otherwise he would not dare to boast about transporting such a huge amount of food to the sea.
Because of such a huge amount of food, when walking on the road, you need to worry not only about transportation capacity, but also about safety issues.
Many evil forces will be interested in such a huge sum of food.
The other party didn't say it directly, so there was obviously no way to continue asking this question.
Darnell weighed it and said: "If Mr. Gavin has this ability, I naturally have no reason to disagree. There will be no problem if your entire hoard is replaced by grain."
“I just said that if we take down all the inventory, it will be a big loss for Mr.
If there is demand, you only need to place an order every year, and all can be traded with grain at equal prices."
Darnell stood up suddenly, stared at Gavin with sparkling eyes, and said: "You mean, Vizeme Manor will be able to batch-produce black wine in the future?"
It's one thing to create a product that is not replicable by accident.
It's another thing to be able to mass produce every year in the future.
The meaning and price are worlds apart.
If this is the case, this batch of black wine is indeed not suitable for consumption, let alone hoarding. Instead, it should be sold as a single product as soon as possible, otherwise the price will depreciate significantly when new products are released.
Gavin nodded and said: "There may be no guarantee that the quality will surpass or be comparable to this batch, but there shouldn't be much problem in producing black wine."
These black wines are nothing more than wandering around the shadow plane a few times, absorbing pure negative energy.
For other wineries, this may be a moderate problem. After all, not everyone can enter or exit the Shadow Plane.
But it is a piece of cake for Vizeme Manor, because it has the ability to freely enter and exit the Shadow Plane.
The finished wine is still able to absorb negative energy and produce this kind of mutation.
Gavin was very curious, if the entire wine-making process was placed in the shadow plane, what kind of wonderful chemical reactions would occur?
But before the official test came out, he didn't dare to speak too harshly.
Gavin added: "I would like to ask you to keep this matter secret for me, at least until the new product is launched."
The reason for emphasizing this is because they are afraid that the three paladins are too honest and will not be able to maximize the value of this batch of black wine.
"It's okay to keep it secret." The person who spoke was not Darnell, but Regina, with a sly look on her face, and said with a smile, "But compared to Mr. Gavin, I have a better proposal.
"
Just by looking at the other person's smile, Gavin knew what the other person wanted to do.
He must be trying to get a piece of the black wine trade.
Gavin had no intention of refusing. Rather than making empty promises, he believed more in the binding of interests. He showed an interested expression and said, "If Miss Regina has any good suggestions, let me hear them."
"This batch of black wine, with a base price of two hundred thousand, is divided into three parts. Mr. Gavin and I, Mr. Darnell, each have a share. Of course, I will not take advantage of Mr. Gavin in vain. I
Responsible for promoting black wine and making its reputation resound throughout the valley, Sambia, and even the entire Dragon Coast, what do you think?" Regina put forward her own plan.
She knows very well where her advantages lie and invests in them accordingly.
"That's good, that's a good proposal." Gavin's eyes sparkled, and he couldn't help but said: "This proposal is a win-win cooperation in the true sense. I wonder what Mr. Darnell thinks?"
Regina's proposal is the most basic advertising and marketing model.
To put it simply, it is artificial hype.
Pricing for this unique black wine, especially when it is new, is a very tricky issue.
If you price a bottle at twenty gold coins and no one agrees or buys it, it's all in vain.
If the price is one hundred gold coins per bottle, and the people who buy it make a fortune, then that is the level.
The aroma of wine is not afraid of the depth of Hong Kong.
That means that old brands need time to settle.
They need to get rid of all this batch of black wine before new products are released and turn them into actual profits.
Then professional praise is needed.
Among the three waves of people, Regina is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.
The professional abilities are consistent, the influence is sufficient, and the most important thing is to have ideas.
The business acumen of coming up with such an ingenious method of cooperation in such a short period of time is absolutely extraordinary.
You know, she has no experience from another life to draw from, and this method is the first of its kind in Faerûn.
Compared to her, Gavin was far behind in this aspect. Even if he took advantage of his experience, he still waited until the other party brought it up before he thought of the benefits.
If you leave your advertising and marketing to her, you can absolutely rest assured.
Darnell almost didn't even think about it and nodded directly: "I have no objection."
Not to mention compared to Regina, even compared to Gavin, he is obviously inferior in business.
When he opened his mouth earlier, he wanted to drink all the black wine. This was not because he had an excellent business vision, but because he simply believed that the black wine was very useful for their holy warriors' training, so he bought them all for his own use.
But the nature of this matter began to change as Vizeme Manor became able to produce black wine.
It has become a sale, a transaction, and it would be a bit difficult for him to operate it.
It's better to let Li go out and eat ready-made food behind Regina and Gavin.
Gavin said enthusiastically: "If you two are interested, our cooperation can not be limited to this batch of black wine. In the future, all wines produced by our Vizeme Manor can adopt this cooperation model, and the share will remain unchanged."
.”
This approach may seem like a loss, giving away most of one's own interests to others, but Gavin, who has had successful experience in rock fields, knows that the potential benefits are endless.
For the sake of profit, they will do this as their own career.
Secondly, the interest network and power network behind them will be borrowed by themselves.
Needless to say, Regina, not to mention her influence in Battle Valley, her slight talent in advertising and marketing is worth the price.
The Hammer of Justice Monastery represented by Garnell is a symbol of fairness and justice. If it gets their support, it will be immediately labeled as fairness and justice. This label attribute has a natural advantage in attracting refugees.
By cooperating with this kind of paladin organization, as long as you don't run down the irredeemable path of evil, they won't easily plot against you behind your back.
The most important thing is that the distance between the two is close enough, and there are many places where we can draw on our strength in the future.
"Then it's settled." Regina naturally did not hesitate, even if it was a just cause, it still needed financial support.
With this stable income, she will be more confident and convincing when persuading more elves, half-elves and kind people to join her business.
Darnell was not so thick-skinned, and said a little embarrassedly: "We didn't do anything, but we just share one-third of the profits with you. Isn't this appropriate?"
"Whether it's suitable or not is not up to you, sir, but to me. There are still many things we need to rely on in the future," Gavin said with a smile, "There is one thing we agreed on in advance and will share it with you.
I don’t care whether the part of the black wine is for sale or for personal use, but I hope both families will pay for the principal with grain, whether it’s old grain or new grain.”
Anyway, Gavin is ready to carry out his food hoarding business to the end.
Even if there is no war this year, there will be many more places where we need food in the future. Even if we work hard to reclaim wasteland, the gap will be huge.
This is another point where he values the Hammer of Justice Monastery. He must first build a stable food supply base for himself.
