Everything developed as expected, and Ronan also unlocked a new achievement and obtained a new mission:
"Achievements: Great businessman
The cumulative transaction amount exceeds 200,000 gold coins.
Reward: The price of items in the system store will be reduced by 10%.
Mission: How to do business
The cumulative trading profit reached 100,000 gold coins.
Reward: 30,000 experience points, 200 honor points, small bag of diamonds x3, and a large primitive soul gem."
Two months later, Kress's gray trade chain had been connected, and Enoch also contacted some buyers for Kress, including caravans and mercenary groups from other countries.
Their demand is not large, and they don't have enough strength to eat too much, but it is finally a start, and it is commendable that other shops opened by Kress to cover up the truth actually made some small money.
In a woods on the outskirts, a group of people were trading.
"I hope the weapon you mentioned is as powerful as you described, otherwise, I will let you know the consequences of deceiving me!" The speaker was a middle-aged man wearing dark green satin clothes, with twenty people standing behind him.
Multiple soldiers wearing leather armor and carrying sharp weapons.
"Oh, Commander Kalon, why should you be anxious? You have traveled thousands of miles to come here, so I naturally want to show you a good show." The person who spoke was a man whose whole body was covered in a black hooded cloak. His voice was very pleasant.
Very infectious, none other than Enoch.
"Hmph! Pretending to be a ghost!" This gang leader from Brighton City, thousands of miles away, obviously didn't like Enoch who was hiding his head and tail.
"My lord, you must understand. After all, there are too many people who want to catch me!" After Enoch waved his hand, the other two men in black robes behind him immediately took out a pair of iron half-body armor and placed them not far away.
, then another person took out a crossbow, simply aimed and pulled the trigger. The sharp crossbow arrows shot out of the air and were directly nailed into the half-armor.
Then the man in black robe took the half-body armor and handed it to Caron. Caron's eyes shrank because the crossbow arrow had completely penetrated the solid iron plate of the half-body armor. If there was anyone inside, he would probably be dead. Its power was much stronger than it is now.
The army is generally equipped much better.
"How many of these weapons do you have? I want them all!" Caron was a little excited. His master would definitely reward him generously if he brought this weapon back. After all, they can completely imitate these weapons, which will become their dominant force.
trump card.
"Fifty gold coins each, each comes with ten crossbow arrows, but I can only sell you ten at most!" Enoch replied with a smile.
"Why can you only sell me ten pieces?" Caron was a little confused. Although fifty gold coins a piece was very expensive, he was not short of money.
"Our production is limited." Enoch shook his head and said.
"Okay, give me ten!" After saying that, he handed Enoch a money bag. Enoch tied the money bag, checked it, and motioned to his men to hand the box to Caron, then turned and left.
The production cost of this crossbow is actually less than five gold coins. The most expensive thing is the raw material for making the potion of the bow string. This bow string is also the reason why this crossbow is more powerful than ordinary military crossbows. Without the production method of this special bow string, those people would not know how to make it.
May be copied.
After dismantling it, you will only find that the structure is just that of an ordinary crossbow, and it will also trigger the small mechanism left by Ronan, causing the bowstring to be damaged and unable to be used again.
As for why the limit is limited, it is naturally because the buyers Enoch can find are not serious people. Many of them are gang leaders and illegal organizations. Ronan does not sell to them too much to avoid being too much.
Pay too much attention to prevent them from being too powerful. After all, many of those people are nobles, and some are even foreign spies.
After Enoch sells to Charon, he may then sell the same number of weapons to Charon's competitors to balance them and allow them to continue buying after they have tasted its power.
This part of the income is already Ronan's largest income at present. After all, the caravan has not returned yet and is still floating on the sea.
The other part that earns the most money is not beyond Ronan's expectation. It is the library. The books produced by Ronan through printing are not only neatly written, but also free of errors and irregularities caused by careless scribes. After all, one copy can print a lot.
The employees responsible for the stereotypes have enough energy to check and perfect them carefully.
The most important thing is that it's cheap. Ronan's printing cost is much cheaper than hand-copying, and it's faster! The price advantage brought about by this will almost allow Ronan to monopolize the book market in Teldrassil. Ronan will do it within two months.
Several more libraries have been opened, but the place of production is still the same. After all, Aldridge is currently at sea, and Ronan has no way to place restrictions on new employees. It is not safe.
The newspaper sells well, and at the price of one copper coin, many civilians are willing to buy it. The novels serialized on it are also quite popular, but there are already pirated copies.
Moreover, many people speculated that Ronan's library should have a method for rapid printing. They sent people to spy on the place but were blocked by the defense and guards set up by Ronan. He bribed the employees and found that they would not be able to talk about this issue once they discussed it.
Therefore, they could only try to pressure the library to disclose this technology in the name of a huge progress in the development of culture, but Ronan ignored them at all.
But after the employees found that they could not tell how to operate this technology, they became more and more frightened, and they did not dare to betray the library. Moreover, Enoch killed several of the loudest ones, and now their voices have become much weaker.

As for the mahjong parlor, maybe it’s because the publicity hasn’t been enough, few people know about it, and not many people have time to play. At this time, the business is tepid, barely maintaining a balance of payments, but I want to
Earning back the room fee is empty talk. Ronan is studying how to change. If it doesn't work, he will have to give up this project and change his career.
As for Aldridge's sea caravan, this year should be the last one, because winter is about to begin! The climate in the Hinterland is quite warm, and winter is not particularly cold, but it will still affect the acquisition of goods, and the winter forest
It is more dangerous, and the goods received are less. Although there are some medicinal materials unique to winter, the price is not high and it is not worth a trip to the sea.
As for the auction house, it has been built now, and Ronan has also prepared the first batch of ten auction items, and the items as the finale are definitely of sufficient weight, and are very useful as the first auction item to make a name for itself.
.
Ronan also has high hopes for this auction house. Although it still cannot stop others from following suit after seeing the potential of the auction house, being the first to build a good reputation will still form a certain brand effect, and Ronan can follow up.
Specialize in one aspect to increase your competitiveness.
