First Law

Looking in the direction Karen pointed, there was nothing to be found except for a stretch of rolling mountains.

The mountains and rivers are undulating and weeds are overgrown. Occasionally, some orcs can be seen on the corners of the mountains, but that is just a normal collection of herbs.

There is a witch doctor in the beast race, and the medicinal herbs that the witch doctor needs are found in the mountains. On the Aegean Continent, this kind of medicinal herb collected from the depths of the mountains is highly sought after by the creatures.

It would be a joke if Karen wanted to develop the trading of herbal medicines. This has been a long-established industry on the plateau. As long as the mature medicinal herbs are basically controlled by the local orcs, there is no such thing as too much control by foreign capital.

"Karen, what exactly are you trying to say? Do you want these orcs to help you mine herbs?"

Karen smiled mysteriously. Naturally, he was not interested in these herbs at all. What really interested him was the low-lying areas where the mountains overlapped.

This is a basin area formed by the overlapping of mountains. The terrain is flat, but the area is small, but the vegetation is abundant. Because it is in a low-lying area, there is also a small river converging, which is quite rural.

"Alice, how about we set up a factory here?"

"Factory? What kind of factory?" Alice became more and more puzzled, "Isn't there a corpse factory in the wasteland? Now the Gold Town and the Ice Kingdom have just established workshops, and besides, the remote mountains and remote places here can't bring in machinery and equipment. The cost is so high." Is high necessary?"

"Hehe, this is what you think, but in my opinion, there is another advantage." Karen pointed to a large group of tauren in front of him and said: "Look at these people, all of them are thinking about relying on strength For pennies, their enthusiasm is very high, if they can use this enthusiasm, then it is possible to help the town of Shining Gold take a big step forward on the road to magic."

Alice doesn't think so. Although the orc population is large, their level is generally low, and they are not so developed at all, "Karen, I am not contradicting you. You know the environment of the orcs better than me, and you are also an expert in investment. , if the machinery and equipment are transported from outside, how to transport them, and secondly, the factory needs sharpening. Don’t you want to bring the magic power of the wasteland here? When you build it, what do you produce, and how should you transport the output.”

Karen smiled. Although these are all problems, they are not so serious for the current Gold Town.

The equipment can be transported by airship and albatross. As for the magic power, the technology is now mature, and the built-in magic stone can be produced within a month or two. What to produce, I have already thought about it after entering the Orc Plateau these two days.

Component!

It is the parts, the basic parts necessary for all magical machines, and the refined parts that are especially famous for manpower.

"Alice, look at what this is." He casually took out a newspaper from his pocket and handed it over.

Alice took a look and saw a row of data:

The Alchemy Continent exported a total of 800,000 pieces of alchemy machinery in the 3000 year of the sacred calendar, realizing a profit of 50 billion.

The East Indian Continent purchased more than 8,000 pieces of core furnace accessories, with a total external expenditure of 2 billion pence.

The Aegean mainland imported more than 2,000 parts and lost 800 million pennies.

 …

There are a lot of data, among which the export of Alchemy Continent is the most terrifying. Alice can't imagine the figure of 50 billion, and what surprised him even more is the import of parts from Aegean Continent.

800 million pence was lost.

You must know that in the war with the orcs in the past few years, the total investment of the human race is only one billion. After a careful look at the above data, many luxury goods are mentioned, such as the price of magic wrist wheels and the cost of importing magic power wrist wheels. , The purchase of magic jewelry, I can't help but think about it.

He knows a little about luxury goods, especially magic wrist rings. The prices vary greatly. The low-end ones cost tens of pennies, but once they are high-end, they can cost tens of thousands of pennies, hundreds of thousands or millions of pennies.

"You want to play with these luxuries?" Alice was not a fool, and could almost guess Karen's intentions.

Karen nodded, "These are all the information collected by Philips recently. Judging from the situation in the past year, magic alchemy machines are the most profitable, and they are just needed in every continent. I also asked Ma Mazi for advice. She said There are at least billions of furnace accessories imported from the Alchemy Continent every year, and with the feedback from the Black Sea these days, I can be sure that the alchemy machinery accessories are definitely a big cake."

Alice smiled, she naturally knew, and the earliest alchemy in the Ice Kingdom was not only mechanical parts, but alchemy was the most valuable, but there was a prerequisite for everything, it must have a well-developed alchemy industry.

Alchemy industry is a professional vocabulary in the field of alchemy, and it is a heavyweight vocabulary to measure the overall alchemy level of a continent. Only when the alchemy industry has a high level can products of high quality be produced, and such products can be popular.

The level of the alchemy industry is accumulated by thousands of craftsmen with excellent craftsmanship. As far as the Alchemy Continent is concerned, it has taken at least two hundred years to develop to the current level, while the forging achievements of the East India Continent are 30 million piled together by two dwarves.

This cake is indeed big, but there are more people eating this cake, and the teeth are harder.

If Gold Shining Town wants to take a share here, it needs to find a way to improve its alchemy level, but in the current situation in the wasteland, not to mention Alice, even an ordinary human can see a few catties and a few taels.

Looking at Karen strangely, Alice was a little puzzled. It stands to reason that Karen should understand such a simple truth, but why is she still so stubborn.

Karen nodded: "However, Philips told me that magic luxury goods are very popular in the world now, especially the magic wrist wheel. The reason why luxury goods are expensive lies in the complicated procedures and huge labor costs. , the birth of a luxury item may require hundreds of people to work day and night for a month or two, but these are not restrictions at all for the orcs. We can give them some simple magic machines, operation steps, and the rest Just download and get the product.”

"Things are not as simple as you think." Alice still couldn't believe it, thinking that Karen had simplified things.

"Of course it's not that simple. The internal structure of magic luxury goods is quite complicated, and only top masters can design them. It just so happens that there is such a person in Shining Gold Town, and the second is craftsmanship. We must find a way to calm the orcs. They may lose money in the early stage, so We must invest enough in these tribes. Funding is a big problem for us, and finally there is the problem of sales. As the name suggests, these things are only bought by those top-level existences. The Aegean continent can’t absorb them, so we can only go abroad Do business on the mainland."

"Karen, I still don't think it's reliable." Alice still felt a little naive, and this didn't take into account the meaning of the Temple of War. If Campas knew that Karen invested in these ordinary tribes, would he secretly charge some fees? .

"You have to believe me, let's start doing this. I have been thinking about how to take advantage of the advantages of the orcs these days. I feel uncomfortable with so many people idle. I think it's right to try it. Let's experiment with this stockade. Build an experimental factory here, and I will let people go out to test the water of the things that come out, and if it is really useful, we will start to work hard."

Now Alice has nothing to say. Although she has doubts, she can only listen to Karen, "What are you going to do?"

Karen laughed and said, a little embarrassed, "This is mainly a matter of funds. I'm a little tight right now."

Alice rolled her eyes. Just now he wanted to separate himself from the Ice Kingdom, but now he can't tell why he should ask her to ask for the Ice Kingdom.

"How much?"

"At least 20 million."

"Twenty million, you might as well grab it, but my father told me that we will only give it when we have children, look at my stomach." Alice sounded her stomach.

When she met Karen, she received a promise from the Ice Royal Family that as long as they had a child, they would get 10 million from the Ice Kingdom. This was to bind the two parties together in terms of interests and blood relationship.

Although the Ice Kingdom is rich now, it is 20 million pennies.

"Hey, talk to your father about it. It's only half a year. I'll pay him back the principal with interest. If it's really impossible, can I mortgage Shining Gold Town?"

Alice rolled her eyes, "Does my father dare to ask for it?"

"Then what are you talking about? Why don't you mortgage me?" Karen began to act like a rascal.

"Forget it, I'll figure it out on my own, but Karen, I have to make it clear that once you recover, you must benefit the Ice Kingdom. It's not as simple as paying 20 million, okay?"

Karen nodded without hesitation, even if Alice didn't say anything, he would do the same.

At that moment, the two discussed the details of the project, and started to let the tauren in the village start to build the rough prototypes of the factory. Karen communicated with Gold Shining Town to discuss what to produce, and Alice communicated with Ice Kingdom.

I don't know what method this girl used, but after half an hour's secret call, 20 million pennies appeared on the account of Shining Gold Town.

Now Karen has realized the benefits of having a mother's family, at least someone will help you in times of crisis.

On the second day, Churchill visited Karen in secret. Golden Harbor placed a batch of basic machinery orders with the Alchemy Kingdom, and entered the Tauren tribe on the third day. It was delivered at the first time, and in less than five days, the Magic Power Factory took some shape.

"Karen, what exactly do you want to produce, and you haven't told me yet?" Alice asked after Karen.
