The Origin of Arcane

Chapter 374: Commodity Shock

Sir Copperfield, a nobleman, knew the value of paper better than ordinary businessmen.

It is not just an ordinary commodity, but also represents knowledge.

The dissemination of knowledge largely depends on it.

If this ship can be transported back to the Huayu Plateau, it will definitely make the great scholars of the City of Knowledge break their heads.

I want it, I want it all. Sir Copperfield's eyes turned red again, and he forgot the personal advice Alan had just given.

Allen kept a perfect smile all the time, and did not directly reject Sir Copperfield. He waited until he calmed down and showed an embarrassed smile before continuing: This is just a semi-finished paper, and there are better things behind. I suggest that the Jazz watch it before talking.

Okay! Good! Good! Sir Copperfield urged impatiently. The products of the Yongye Army leader had completely exceeded his imagination, and he really couldn't think of anything better.

Allen did not take Sir Copperfield to the third merchant ship, but walked towards the second half of the merchant ship.

Before the cabin door was pushed open, a unique fragrance hit the face.

This scent is so recognizable that Sir Copperfield immediately called out its name—ink scent, the unique smell formed by the ink used for writing.

If the first half of this merchant ship had brought great shock to Copperfield, the second half had left him stunned, and he could not react for a long time. This is not a merchant ship, it is a library at all, with a strong and indelible fragrance of ink Wrap around.

Ignoring Alan's reaction at all, he rushed forward again.

The myth of Othello, the epic of Elia, the fables of Medea, the poetry of Gulliver, Metheus in bondage, prejudice and arrogance... God of learning, these are all legendary masterpieces, I have always wanted to read them, But I couldn’t find a way to transcribe it, are these all true?”

These are corrected versions, which retain the meaning of the original work as much as possible. There are also some versions that are too different and controversial. We use the most popular version. Therefore, there is no way to compare with the handwritten version in terms of value. But it is enough for learning. Allen replied with a smile.

The quantity? demanded Sir Copperfield.

Over the initial shock Sir Copperfield discovered another peculiarity of these books.

That is, the size of the handwriting is the same, and the distance between words is like a ruler, which is very neat and highly recognizable.

This is a bit unbelievable. How rigorous are the people who transcribed these books?

to do this.

But soon he discovered that things were definitely not that simple.

Because all the books he flipped through at random had the same handwriting, as if they were all written by one person.

There are also some books that are repeated, one type of book, and half of the words in it are not bad.

Unless those warlocks with successful cultivation bases personally act, it is absolutely impossible to achieve this level with human power.

But using a warlock as a person who transcribes books, I'm afraid that the leader of the Yongye army can't afford this kind of luxury, right?

What's more, there are more than a thousand books in this half of the cabin, how many warlocks will be used?

The quantity of each book does not exceed 500 copies. There is stock in stock. If more than 500 copies, you need to place an order. The cycle depends on the quantity you want. The most troublesome thing is small batches. If you want large batches, it is easy. A few. Allen said in detail.

There was obviously a reason for Sean to second him here. He had already entered the business just after Jacob Jiang came back to work. To use an exaggerated adjective, he witnessed the growth of Yong Ye's military leadership business and participated in it.

Five hundred copies? Sir Copperfield almost bit his tongue.

When will books become farmer's Chinese cabbage?

You must know that those lord families want to transcribe a book, even if they prepare paper and ink in advance, they can't do it in less than ten days and half a month.

After doing this, Copperfield was even more sure that the Eternal Night Army leader must have mastered a non-manual method of transcribing books that they didn't know, otherwise it would be impossible to mass-produce them.

After all, the person who can transcribe books is not Chinese cabbage.

At the same time, hundreds of people were recruited to transcribe the books. This kind of grand scene seemed to be seen only in the city of knowledge of the Warlock Union.

With this blockbuster in the front, although the thirteen ships behind still gave him a lot of shock, especially the silk clothing that was popular in Valesta, after some beautiful girls demonstrated, it was even more impressive. With visual impact, delicate skin and silky clothing complement each other, and it is impossible to tell which one is smoother.

But in Sir Copperfield's eyes, their value is far less than books.

As a nobleman, Copperfield was very aware of the power of knowledge.

The reason why nobles can become nobles is that knowledge inheritance plays a vital role.

What is the background?

The inheritance of knowledge is the foundation.

Rather, books are the carrier of knowledge, and their importance is self-evident.

It was even said that the leader of the Yong Ye Army now sells not only paper, but also sets of books.

Sir Copperfield suddenly remembered the young lord's last request. He said that he was interested in all kinds of orphan books. The so-called orphan books he was referring to should refer to books that were no longer sold in batches by the Eternal Night Army.

Besides, there was an indescribable fear in Sir Copperfield's heart.

When books and paper become cheap commodities, they can be sold at will, and everyone can easily buy them.

What kind of impact will it have on the original knowledge system?

How will it shake the special class of lords and nobles?

But when there are a lot of books in front of him, will he sell them?

The answer is yes.

It is a fool to have money and not make money.

It is true that he is a nobleman, and he is also a businessman, a businessman on the verge of bankruptcy. Only after filling his stomach and supporting his family can he have the time and energy to consider such long-term things.

Besides, he is only at the bottom of the nobility, and it should be the rulers above who need to consider this matter.

You can choose these products at will. The upper limit is five horse-drawn carriages. They are samples given to you to persuade your companions. Please keep this list. This is a list of prices for all products. The thin book of five sheets was handed over to Copperfield.

Sir Copperfield only glanced at it, and he held it tightly as if he had found a treasure.

The name of this thin book is Wholesale Price List of Yong Ye Junling Bulk Goods.

It's a vulgar name, but it's easy to understand. Even an uneducated farmer can understand what it means after hearing it.

Just like its name, the above content is clear at a glance.

The name of the product, the minimum and maximum quantity of purchase, and the corresponding price, etc., there are some special cases, and there are even detailed notes at the back.

Not to mention Sir Copperfield, who is knowledgeable himself, most of the businessmen who are not very literate can understand it.

These few papers obviously involve a kind of university question - statistics.

Sir Copperfield had never seen such simple and clear statistics in the City of Knowledge.

Sir Copperfield's eyes widened when he saw Alan draw out a large stack.

The things that I regard as my treasures are basically ordinary daily necessities.

This blow can be imagined.

Crazy wailing in my heart, is this Yong Ye army leader really just a new force that has been established for just ten years?

How many good things are they holding in their hands? How could they hold so many good things in their hands?

What can be taken out as a commodity is definitely not the best thing in their hands.

But many of these things have broken Sir Copperfield's previous cognition.

Even the shock made Sir Copperfield's heart numb, so that even the joy of receiving five carriages of goods for nothing was not so strong.

Allen didn't know that his unintentional action caused 9,999 critical damage to Sir Copperfield's mind. He thought his cold reaction was because he was worried that the leader of the Eternal Night Army would cheat them on the price. He added: Don't worry, this is our uniform purchase price for large quantities. You can go to the Asia Minor Plain to inquire if you don't believe me. After you go back, you can roughly convert the grain in your hand. Let’s see how many commodities can be exchanged. Pass the letter to us through Flying Eagle, so that we can stock up more conveniently. Spring will begin soon, and the rainy season in the Swamp of Despair is coming. If the food stays in your hands for one more day, there will be a risk of depreciation for one more day. You’d better act quickly. We don’t accept moldy food, we are not doing charity.”

The leader of the Eternal Night Army arranged the matter to this point. Sir Copperfield really has nothing to say. He just needs to cooperate obediently, deliver the food, and then return to the Huayu Plateau with his favorite goods. After making a fortune, Then honestly deliver the goods needed by the Yongye Army Leader back, and exchange for more Yongye Army Leader products.

Sir Copperfield no longer had any doubts about making money.

He had glanced at the price list given by Allen just now, and the price on it was not expensive, but cheap.

Excluding the transportation costs, as long as there are no accidents on the road, even if it is a one-way trip with an empty car, they will still make money without losing money, let alone a businessman who has an empty car to run.

As long as the commodities brought by the Yongye Army can be safely returned to Huayu Plateau, even if the food they brought this time cannot be sold at a higher price, they can still keep their capital. If they are lucky, they may even make a small profit.

In this case, you said those grain merchants, would they make a second trip?

There is no need for any verbal encouragement at all, those businessmen will flock here like flies smelling fishy smell.

When Sir Copperfield returned to Tatar City with five carts of merchandise led by the Eternal Night Army, one can imagine the commotion it caused among the grain merchants.

It was like the whole city was fried.

We are saved. The Yongye Army Leader is not only willing to accept our food at the market price, but also proposed a better trading method, bartering. You have never seen the products of the Yongye Army Leader, and you have never felt that kind of food. Temptation, no matter if it is a product that no nobleman or ordinary citizen can refuse, I have already thought about it. I want to exchange half of the porcelain and half of all kinds of books. No, those silk clothes are said to be sold in the capital. Those ladies and noble ladies definitely have no way to refuse, nor can they give up, but with this little food in my hand, I can’t eat so much food, are you willing to partner with me? I think these commodities It is better to cooperate with sales.

Load the grain into the truck, load the grain into the truck quickly, we must use the fastest speed to facilitate this transaction, and prevent the Yong Ye army leader from changing his mind.

You underestimate him. They are showing their chariots and horses now. Let us help them open the market in Huayu Plateau. They have bigger plans. They will not change their minds like those small businesses. See if you see them. They even have a list of prices. They were brought to us, which means that the price of the other party will not change easily, so we should act together with Sir Copperfield on this matter, after all, he has just been in contact with the other party and is more familiar with the situation.

It's also the same reason. Let's go and study the products of Yongye Junling carefully to see how to match them. It's the most cost-effective.

The previous gloom in Tatar City has dissipated without a trace.

All the grain merchants on the Huayu Plateau were high-spirited and eager to fight, and they talked about new words when they came in and out, such as porcelain, books, silk clothing, tea bricks, quick-acting medicine, alpine honey, Andis longbow, etc.

See how to match, in order to maximize the benefits.

Thinking long-term, they even began to plan the route after returning to the Huayu Plateau, and inquired about each other's goals.

If you can avoid each other, try to avoid each other as much as possible. If there is no way to avoid it, then cooperate and bring as few duplicate products as possible.

Fortunately, the leader of the Yongye army has too many good things in their hands. Even if they merge many caravans together, most of the goods they bring are not the same.

The goal of these grain merchants is very clear, that is, the lords and nobles of Huayu Plateau.

Compared with ordinary citizens, they are the real big consumers.

The positioning of commodities such as porcelain and silk clothing is a luxury in itself, and ordinary people cannot afford it.

After Sean set the basic tone, this matter was basically left alone, and then professionals like Alan will take over.

Now in the Yongye military leader, a complete industrial chain has been formed.

Like badge porcelain and silk clothing, there are only a few industries that require special customization. What's more, the merchants will ship and sell whatever Yongye Junling produces.

Because the market is too large, all kinds of commodities are in short supply.

Even if the productivity of the Yong Ye army is increased tenfold, it will not take ten or eight years to feed the dry market of the Asia Minor Plain. Here they are still in the early stage of market development, and the main target of the transaction is Jacob. The towns along the river have not yet set foot in the depths.

Not to mention that the new market of Huayu Plateau will be opened soon.

Whether the leader of the Yongye Army can open up the new market of Huayu Plateau, it doesn't make much sense from the perspective of income.

After all, the shipping price is the same, the total amount is listed here, part of the output is from the Huayu Plateau, and a part is less from the Asia Minor Plain. The total income received by the leader of the Yongye Army has not changed.

But in a strategic sense, it is significant.

Even those farmers who can't read a word know that eggs should not be put in one basket, otherwise all the eggs will break if the basket falls to the ground.

Let alone a military leader.

The relationship between the leader of the Yong Ye army and the regent princess Sophie Liya is too close, which is not all a good thing.

Once the relationship between the two parties fluctuates, resulting in unsalable goods, it will have a fatal impact on the starting manufacturing and commerce led by Yongye Army.

Now that there are two lines, no matter which line has a problem, it will not cause a fatal impact in a short period of time, giving them time to react.

And this is just the beginning, if given the opportunity, Sean will build more lines.

At that time, a complex economic relationship network will be formed. Don't underestimate these businessmen. Once they have enough resources in their hands, their influence will be huge.

Sean has already paved the way, and the rest is waiting for the hard work of the grain merchants on the Huayu Plateau and the fermentation of the market itself.

With the courage of these merchants to transport grain from the Huayu Plateau thousands of miles away for the sake of double benefits, they will definitely help the Yongye army lead the opening of the new market of the Huayu Plateau.
