Chapter 220 Fading before and then bursting (ten more)
In fact, this was due to Luther's lack of preparation. He did not expect Pompeii wine to be so popular.
It all depends on the free publicity given by the big guys of the Sabretooth Tiger Mercenary Group.
Therefore, the more friends you make outside, the better. No matter what you do, it will be much smoother.
Without further ado, let’s return to the issue of Pompeii wine.
As Luther signed a contract with Mr. Al, Mr. Al became the first to eat crabs. The first batch of four to five thousand barrels of wine.
The shipping fee was considered Mr. Al's. Luther sold the wine to Mr. Al for five silver coins. Luther earned a thousand gold coins from it.
Mr. Al sold it to a mercenary gathering place similar to the Beauty Tavern for one gold coin, and opened a shop in the city. The retail price was one gold coin plus one silver coin.
After deducting costs, Mr. Al earns more than Luther.
The market in Orange is so huge, and the money earned is huge. Even a multi-millionaire would not even take a look if a thousand gold coins fell from his pocket.
But if they can earn 20,000 or even more gold coins a month, which is only hundreds of thousands of gold coins a year, they are willing to put down their face for it.
As the saying goes, no one will dislike having too much money.
So when Mr. Al became an agent for Pompeii wine, and the news that Pompeii wine was sought after by mercenaries spread throughout the aristocratic circles of the Golden City at dances.
Many top rich people are starting to regret it.
Because before that, Luther attended more than a dozen dances in a row and met no less than a hundred people from the middle to the top rich.
But everyone's evaluation of Pompeii wine, whether euphemistic or direct, expresses one word.
"Horse piss."
It is very unpalatable to the aristocrats and tastes very unpalatable.
So they believed in their own tongues and believed that there would be no market for this kind of Pompeii wine. They refused to cooperate with Luther.
Of course, they only targeted Pompeii wine, but were quite polite to Luther and Pompeii.
The result was that Luther got to know many wealthy people in the Golden City through Al and Mr. Libya, intending to find an agent. As a result, the location of the agent actually fell into Al's hands.
Al made all the money.
Many nobles were jealous of this and it was natural for them to regret it.
Now that the agent of the Libyan Earldom has fallen into the hands of Mr. Al, the top wealthy people have set their sights on other large noble territories.
The first person to come to Luther was none other than Alpha, Mr. Taylor.
The first time Mr. Al took Luther to attend the Rich Ball in the Golden City, it was organized by this Alpha, Mr. Taylor.
Mr. Alpha Taylor admired Luther's talent, but he did not agree to become an agent for Pompeii wine.
He is also a guy who believes in his own tongue.
Mr. Alpha Taylor took his own exquisite carriage and arrived at the hotel where Luther was staying. The manager of the hotel was horrified.
Because in the entire Golden City, anyone with a little vision will know Alpha, Mr. Taylor, the top rich man.
Alpha Taylor ignored the manager and went straight to Luther's room. Luther took Alpha Taylor to the small living room and sat down.
"Want some coffee?" Luther asked.
"I only drink wine." Alpha Taylor said, shaking his head.
A well-mannered rich man, Luther shrugged his shoulders and did not try to force himself.
"Luther, you should be able to guess the purpose of my coming. I want the Pompeii wine agent of the Duchy of Ferg." Alpha Taylor didn't say anything false, and was straightforward from the beginning.
"You can sign the contract now." Luther said with a smile.
"Refreshing." Alpha Taylor nodded with a smile on his face.
This is one of the reasons why many rich people have a favorable impression of Luther. This Luther, Mr. Pompeo, is definitely a cheerful person.
Alpha Taylor did have some regrets about not being able to taste Pompeii wine as soon as possible, because the Libyan County is the largest territory in the entire Orange, with the largest population and the most prosperity.
But it’s good to be able to get the agent position in the Duke of Ferg now, because it is also a large territory. Moreover, Alpha and Taylor can speak well in front of Duke Ferg, and they are considered a local snake.
It would also be great to run Pompeii wine there.
Immediately, Luther signed an agency contract with Mr. Alpha Taylor, but Luther also stated that the current production of Pompeii wine was a bit low, and the supply of Pompeii wine to Alpha Taylor would be relatively small.
Alpha Taylor understood this and asked Luther to increase the production of Pompeii wine as soon as possible. If he encountered financial problems, he could also provide private loans.
After some small talk, Alpha Taylor left.
In the next ten days, Luther received some rich people one after another. The top rich people, for the first time, were invited to attend one of the top dances without Mr. Al's guidance.
Contracts were signed.
Before this, no one cared about Pompeii wine, but now it is highly sought after by the rich and has become the hottest commodity in the Golden City.
No one has trouble with money, even the top rich will put down their dignity for money.
With the signing of contracts one after another, Luther arranged all the agents for the 20 or 30 great noble territories in Orange.
By the way, Luther also expanded a certain network of contacts in Golden City and met many new wealthy friends. Of course, they are still just junior friends at the moment.
It's impossible to be a big help, but at least I'm a familiar face.
When these rich people go to Orange Hot Springs Resort for vacation in the future, Luther can take the opportunity to do something.
For example, they were tricked into investing in real estate in Pompeii, setting up factories, etc.
hey-hey.
There is another very important significance to the success of this matter. Luther used Pompeii wine to connect these rich people together, coupled with the law just promulgated by the Count of Libya on the alcohol business.
I believe that no one in Orange will ever think of Pompeii wine again.
Cool.
However, Luther was also worried about something. It was the same thing. He was worried about the expansion of the Pompeii wine factory and that the output could not keep up.
Like Mr. Al, there is nothing more unpleasant in the world than having a market but no products.
So after finalizing everything, Luther led the knights of his family and could not return to Pompeii.
Next, his heart will be temporarily focused on the expansion of the Pompeii wine factory. This hen that can lay eggs must be watched and watched closely to prevent any mistakes.
