The Extraordinary Earl

How did the traditional alcohol business in this world start?

Just like what Mrs. Sophie did, she was steady and steady. She opened stores in cities and towns throughout Barton Territory.

Train store managers and employees.

Carry out independent operations.

This is not a big problem. The advantage is that from the production to the sales of Pompeii wine, even a copper plate of profit has been swallowed up by the Pompeii family.

All the money was made by the Pompeii family.

Now the net profit of Pompeii wine has risen to about 400 gold coins a month, and the profit is about 5,000 gold coins a year.

This was certainly a huge sum of money for Pompeii in the past. But for Pompeii now, it feels like a drop in the bucket.

Of course, there is still potential. If Pompeii wine shops were opened in all cities and towns throughout Orange, then the annual income could reach millions of gold coins.

If it were opened to the entire kingdom, the profits would be unimaginable.

But the problem is that the traditional way of opening a store to start a business like Mrs. Sophie's development is too slow.

In this strange and dangerous world, especially now that the entire kingdom is in the shadow of the new party, unrest may occur at any time.

To put it more unlucky, the Pompeii family might have been wiped out before they could make a fortune from Pompeii wine.

So Luther planned to find another way to expand his business and become an agent.

There are benefits to this.

Luther planned to find twenty or thirty agents in Orange. Each of the territories of the great nobles had a corresponding agent.

The current cost of producing Pompeii wine is twenty-five copper coins, which is two and a half silver coins.

Luther planned to sell it to agents at the wholesale price of five silver coins, earning only double the profit. The Pompeii family would only focus on producing Pompeii wine and developing new flavors of wine.

It also operates liquor retail in the Barton Territory and Pompeii Territory.

This would of course cause the Pompeii family to lose the middleman's profit, because the retail price of a barrel of Pompeii wine is now one gold coin.

But the advantage is that this method can instantly expand all sales networks and sell Pompeii wine to every corner of Orange.

For every barrel of wine sold by the agents, the Pompeii family would earn two and a half silver coins. The more wine sold, the more money the Pompeii family made.

In the short term, the Pompeii family can obtain enough funds.

This solves the current dilemma of having no money at home.

Another benefit is that if Pompeii wine is sold to every corner of Orange, sales will increase significantly.

The Pompeii wine workshop will also be upgraded to a large factory.

In order to ensure production volume, the Pompeii factory will recruit a large number of brewing workers, which will also create jobs in Pompeii and further prosper Pompeii.

Kill several birds with one stone.

Therefore, Luther was determined to win this trip to the Golden City.

Twenty days later, Luther arrived in the Golden City.

It was the middle of winter when we set out from Pompeii, but now it’s already the beginning of spring. The main reason is that the team is too large and bloated, so it naturally moves very slowly.

Luther was a little impatient as he left, thinking to himself.

"When will we invent a train and lay out the tracks?"

Speaking of which, Orange is a very laid-out place with railroad tracks. There are very few mountains and it is basically all plains.

But these are too far away, and I can only eat one meal at a time.

Because the whole Orange is still too chaotic now, with thieves, adventurers, new parties, what if they destroy the railway?

The most important thing is that Orange is still under the rule of the Libyan Count. What if the Count has his eye on the railway?

At present, the Pompeii family still wants to develop the Pompeii metropolis until it has strong strength.

After Luther arrived at the Golden City, he asked the team to stop outside the city wall. Then he entered the city with a small number of knights and a cart containing a hundred barrels of Pompeii wine, and headed to the office of the Sabre-Tooth Tiger Mercenary Group.

There are two reasons for coming to the Sabre-Tooth Tiger Mercenary Group. The first reason is that Luther hopes to catch up with familiar people such as the Tomahawk Knight, the Orleans Knight, and Mr. Al, and give him some Pompeii wine as a gift.

The feelings of a group of people are cultivated through war. If these people no longer want to be mercenaries in the future, they will be recruited into the Pompeii family.

This line cannot be lost.

The second reason is that Luther brought so much Pompeii wine that he had no place to put it. He planned to put the Pompeii wine in the Sabre-tooth Tiger Mercenary Group's station outside the city, which not only ensured safety but also saved a rental fee. Warehouse fees.

The cost of renting a warehouse in Golden City is very expensive.

This kills two birds with one stone.

Luther is a guy who saves money very much.

Luther, Pompeii is a respectable guy in the entire Sabretooth Tiger mercenary group, not to mention that the Pompeii family is no better than before.

The Pompeii family at the time were country lords. Thor, Pompeii is promoted to the outside world as an intermediate knight, as young as any, an inconspicuous family.

The Pompeii family now has a great knight family.

This is totally different.

Luther was warmly entertained by the Tomahawk Knight. The deputy leader of the Sabretooth Tiger Mercenary Group also asked his mistress and assistant, the female knight, to make a cup of coffee for Luther.

Coffee is not produced much in the world and is a relatively luxurious beverage.

The last time he came, Luther didn't enjoy the coffee.

"Luther, why do you have time to come to Golden City? Shouldn't you be busy with the hot spring resort and the development of Pompeii?"

The battle ax knight asked curiously.

The news about the Pompeii family has spread throughout Orange, so even the old and rough mercenary, the Tomahawk Knight, knows about it.

He was full of emotion about this matter.

I think of Pompeii back then, hehe.

If Old Sol hadn't come up with 100,000 gold coins, he wouldn't have ignored Old Sol. Well now, with the current reputation of the Pompei family, no matter where they go, they can enjoy the most basic treatment.

How long did this change take?

Less than a year.

Thinking of this, the Tomahawk Knight felt a little sad.

The female knight next to her was also curious. According to the situation, Luther really shouldn't appear in the Golden City.

Luther smiled and replied: "I brought a hundred barrels of Pompeii wine as a gift to all of you in the Sabre-Tooth Tiger Mercenary Group. The purpose of my trip is to open up the market for Pompeii wine."

"Pompei wine, that's good stuff." The Tomahawk Knight's eyes widened, his stomach growled, and he was aroused by the wine bug.

Pompeii wine is a very, very special wine. It is not very popular among the nobles, but ordinary civilians cannot afford this wine.

Its audience is aristocrats with eccentric tastes and middle-class civilians.

The audience is small.

But people who like Pompeii wine are very loyal to Pompeii wine. The mercenaries of the Saber-Toothed Tiger Mercenary Group especially like this kind of Pompeii wine.

Because the life of mercenaries is too exciting and passionate.

They need strong drinks from time to time to soothe their jittery nerves.

Even senior knights such as the Tomahawk Knight and the Knight of Orleans are not immune to this.

However, the Golden City is too far away from Pompeii, and it is impossible for the mercenary group to send mercenaries specifically to buy Pompeii wine.

So although the Tomahawk Knight likes to drink Pompeii wine, he rarely gets it.

Now that Pompeii wine has been sold to the Golden City, no one else knows, but the Tomahawk Knight will definitely be the first to raise his hands and feet to support it.
