Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

"So you see, the main reason why iron armored ships cannot be exported in large quantities is not the high price... but the limited production cycle is long." Harvey spread his hands and said helplessly.

The actual reason is that all the shipbuilding supporting industries in Spark City currently devote their energy and resources to the manufacturing of military models of ironclad ships and submarine ships that have just completed submarine test experiments.

Santos and others suddenly realized, "So that's the case, we are really too hasty."

Harvey nodded and smiled, "You are anxious to buy iron-armored ships, just to improve the transportation efficiency of shipping and trade and ensure the safety and speed of ocean trade. I want to say that there is actually a safe solution, and it will be implemented immediately at this time... ... "

He smiled and counted, "The number of civilian iron-armored ships that have been put into use in Xinghuo City is about 30. The transportation route is the northern section of Ralph Hebei, departing from Heishan Port and Yinsong City, passing Jinhui City along the way , Fengyuan City and Sancha Town, and finally arrived at Grizzly Corps."

This is the main route for continuously transporting migrant populations to the north.

"How about I allocate fifteen of these ships directly to you for the transportation of conventional goods?"

Morgan was stunned for a moment, and laughed dryly, "Master Lord, what does this mean?"

Harvey shrugged and explained: "After the autumn harvest, the frequency of refugees in Xinghuo City has slowed down. We can completely change the excess ships to freight. In other words... I provide the ship and supporting operators, you only need to be responsible. The goods and load them along the way are sold."

Andrew slapped his thighs violently and said in surprise: "Sir, is this what you are talking about win-win cooperation and new business opportunities?"

If the other party really intends to treat the three chambers of commerce fairly, it means that at least five merchant ships can be used, and there is no need to pay all the money in advance to wait for the shipbuilding order to be delivered. Harvey is the captain and sailor. The boatmen have all made it for them. What is the difference between this and waiting for money to come to their doors automatically?

The three of them now didn't even have eye contact, and they almost said in unison: "Document!"

Harvey clapped his hands with satisfaction and ordered the waiter to remove the messy cup and plate. A newly drawn water system map of the southern region spread out on the long dining table, and four stamped with the Ministry of Commerce of the General Administration of Spark City. The contract was also put forward.

"Spark United Import and Export Company?" Santos smiled, "Sir, every time I come to you, I can see some new ideas that have never been heard of. What does this joint-stock company mean?"

"It is our four companies that jointly obtain profits according to their shareholding!" Superintendent Morgan took the initiative to answer.

"Yes, I provide transportation and labor, so I occupy 30% of the shares... Do you think you have any objections?"

Andrew swallowed and said nervously, "This... this is not suitable! The city lord has borne the most important transportation and labor costs for us, so how can we only charge this little profit!"

Santos' eyes rolled and echoed with Morgan: "Not bad! 30% of the shares are too small! The remaining 70% of our three companies are not easy to divide evenly. Lord City Lord... You should occupy 40% of the shares, and the remaining 60% belong to us! "

Only provide transportation facilities, and if you don’t even participate in the production and sales of goods, you can earn 40% of the profit... In fact, there is no difference between setting up a card along the way and charging toll protection fees, but Harvey knows that they are more important than the immediate interests. What I value is to establish a long-term and stable friendly relationship with myself, which is actually a long-term investment with greater returns.

He immediately followed the flow and nodded and smiled, "Since you have taken the initiative to give me the benefits, how about all the sales of new products in Xinghuo City will be handed over to you for the subsequent sale of Xinghuo City?"

"Thank you for your generosity and kindness!" The three of them stood up and bent down to salute, fearing that Harvey would suddenly regret changing the conditions for cooperation, so they immediately picked up the pen and wanted to sign a cooperation contract, but Harvey suddenly called it to stop.

"Don't worry, don't worry! There are three small attached conditions in this important cooperation... three of you need to help me complete it."

Harvey stood up slowly and pointed to the shipping map spread on the table.

"President Santos, as far as I hear... the Dragon Stone Chamber of Commerce has always been taking over the magic stone trade with the cave dwarf tribe in the southern hills, right?"

Strictly speaking, the sales of magic stones are monopolized by the Spellcasters Federation... and use this to control various large and small spellcaster families and organization groups among the tribes in the southern border. Even the Wizards' Seven Kingdoms Council needs to pay a certain price. Only by obtaining enough magic stone share from them.

However, the Dragon Stone Chamber of Commerce has a separate route to import magic stones from the cave city, which is equivalent to a "smuggling act" that seriously violates the Continental Spellcaster Treaty, but it has never been investigated by the Federation for a long time. It can only be said that its family's backstage is The background should not be underestimated.

Santos turned pale and was about to get up to explain, but was stopped by Harvey, "Don't worry, my request is only led by you, and I will contact Shangjiu Ducheng for me to open a new trade route for the subsequent Spark City. Just trade cooperation with the dwarves.”

Before the other party could reply, he immediately turned to Andrew and smiled, "President Andrew, has your chamber of commerce maintained a close cooperative relationship with the Eastern Golden Forest?"

Because of the long-standing tradition of "closing the country", the elves have never had too much contact with the human race in the southern border, and they have rejected exchanges and cooperation between the two races, and have only signed verbal offensive and defensive alliances in response to the invasion of the demons.

However, in the process of the elves creating transformational stones and magical instruments, the various ordinary gems and magic minerals that were urgently lacking were not produced by the Golden Forest of the East Realm, and private smuggling became the only effective method.

"So, President Andrew needs help, and also contacted Lorien from the Golden Forest to open a trade route for me to successfully arrive in the East."

Faced with Harvey's "pictures are revealed", the remaining Morgan supervisor took the initiative to stand up and said, "The task that the city lord needs to assign to me should be to establish a connection with the sea clan to facilitate the dumping of products from the North's specialties to them in the later stage. Is it?

There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!

Harvey nodded and smiled with satisfaction.

“I know that it is illegal to cross the Federation and the Wizards’ Council to establish connections with these other races under their lockdown, but the risks are always with the benefits. Your family chamber of commerce has taken generations to build up. I suddenly got a piece of the trade route and cooperative relationship, which is really unfair to you..."

He changed his subject and said quietly: "So I decided to give some compensation. Xinghuocheng Civil Shipbuilding Company is currently in short supply of craftsmen. You can draw a group of craftsmen from the manufacturing workshops under the chamber of commerce to the north and participate in civilian services. The manufacturing of armored ships... My technical craftsmen will be responsible for teaching them, and for up to three years... you will each obtain the technology of how to make armored ships."

The three of them were stunned.

Santos asked in disbelief: "Sir, you...you mean, are you willing to teach us the manufacturing technology of the armored ship? Are you kidding?"

Harvey shook his head, "There is absolutely no intention to spend your time, everything I say is true... The craftsmen you sent only need to work for my shipyard for three years, and I can even pay for you the salary."

Anyway, the manufacturing technology of iron armored ships cannot be independently realized from the advanced steel smelting foundation. Without the supporting steel casting industry, even if Harvey spreads the technology to the entire southern territory without reservation, no workshop under the chamber of commerce can really imitate it. Iron armored ship of the same specification.

Not to mention the liquid magic energy that is absolutely monopolized by Starfire City. Without this thing, the iron-armored ship cannot get into the water, let alone conducting a fast and safe ocean voyage.
