Sunny weather.
Many factory owners on St. Maarten’s Island have been invited to a factory on the outskirts of the city.
Thick black smoke is constantly rising above this factory.
Merchants are either luxuriously dressed, wearing gold and silver, or simply dressed with vicissitudes of life.
In groups of three or five, calling friends and calling friends, everyone is full of smiles.
The most among them are the factory owners in the textile industry!
Today, the kingdom called them together!
In other kingdoms, in this case, a businessman would be afraid or panic, for fear that the kingdom would slaughter them severely, or simply rob them of their property.
However, this is the Kingdom of Saint Martin.
All of them know that something good must happen today.
Since King Arthur came to power, the kingdom has paid more and more attention to these merchants.
Their business activities are getting smoother, and their wealth is rising.
Even if they pay a large amount of tax, they are willing to pay. After all, more tax means more money!
"Crwe, do you think there is something to announce today when the kingdom has called us together?"
A fat man with a nice face and a wide body, dressed in gorgeous clothes, with ten big gold rings on his hands, and a big gold chain around his neck, looked like a Maitreya Buddha, facing a simple dress and dark skin. Asked the vigorous middle-aged man.
"I don't know, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with listening to the kingdom and following the kingdom!" Crewe smiled and said firmly.
"That is!" The fat man nodded in agreement, and said with a smile, "Since I followed the kingdom, my factory has doubled!"
"Papa!" Crewe suddenly stretched out his hand and patted Fatty's fleshy belly, causing a tumbling wave of flesh, and laughed, "Waiya, I think your belly is expanding faster than your factory. The expansion speed is much faster!"
"Haha!" Wiya was not angry either, but smiled heartily, believing, "Now, the kingdom has captured the Kingdom of Firth, and next year, my factory will expand faster than my belly! "
After a joke between the two.
Crook pointed to the black smoke above the factory, and asked with a puzzled face: "By the way, Wiya, do you know what the black smoke is?"
"I don't know, but it should be related to the announcement today, right?" Wiya shook his head, guessing.
...
They just walked into the factory while chatting.
Dozens of people have gathered in the factory at this time.
These are all factory owners in large and small factories in St. Martin. The large ones have three to five hundred workers, and the small ones have ten to twenty workers.
When Crewe and Wiya walked over, the crowd separated automatically!
"Huaiya!"
"Cru!"
"Good morning!"
...
Someone smiled and greeted them constantly along the way.
The two were not polite, and walked directly in front of the crowd.
As two of the biggest factory owners in the kingdom, they are naturally qualified to stand at the forefront of the team!
Soon, everyone is almost there.
At this time, an old man walked out of the factory.
The old man has a goatee, shredded hair, and gold glasses, wrinkled and unsmiling.
Seeing him, everyone present suddenly became quiet, showing a respectful expression.
This person is Hughes, Minister of Commerce of the Kingdom of Saint Martin, and people generally call him old Hughes!
My life is a legend. I started doing business and selling clothes when I was fifteen. But at the age of eighteen because of ignorance and misbelief in others, he went bankrupt and owed huge debts.
After , he learned from the pain, worked for two years, started looking for greedy people every day, and finally paid off the debt.
Then, he started his entrepreneurial career again. This time he did not sell clothes, but sold food. Relying on his perseverance and hard work, he spent four years in the food industry.
At the age of twenty-four, he finally made a little achievement and became one of the great grain merchants in the kingdom.
At this time, the kingdom had a great locust plague that was rare in a century, and the food was gone!
It is reasonable to say that this matter has nothing to do with him. As a grain merchant, the grain has no harvest. He has a big deal to sell a little less, and he may still make a fortune with the grain he previously stored!
But he is not happy!
He looked at the civilians who could not eat, and he was kind, and sold or gave food to the civilians at an extremely low price, even part of the free price!
So, he went bankrupt again!
This time, he didn't owe any debts. He had a wealth of money in the past few years. After putting the money in, he left empty-handed!
After another year of work, he started his own business again.
Part-time job, entrepreneurship, prosperity, bankruptcy, part-time job, start a new business!
He kept going back and forth in between!
At the age of 60, he started his business at the age of 15, and in the past 45 years, he has gone bankrupt for various reasons more than ten times. In the long years and the short months, he has done it in all walks of life. Have enough understanding.
At the same time, because of his usual integrity in business, although he went bankrupt every time, he still won people's trust!
Every time he goes bankrupt and falls, he can easily stand up again because of the trust of others in him, and he is willing to give him the goods on credit or sell him cheaply!
A few years ago, after his last bankruptcy, he did not start a business again!
Instead, he was called into the palace by Arthur. After asking him some business questions, Arthur was very satisfied with his understanding of business and granted him the position of Minister of Commerce!
is mainly responsible for managing state-owned trade funds and inventories, determining the prices of national state-owned trade wholesale commodities, guiding the national private commerce and trade departments at all levels in the management of the market, as well as national foreign trade and so on.
He has also lived up to expectations, and he is very successful in this position!
"I invite everyone to come today, it is the kingdom that wants to sell you some good things, and do a business with you by the way..."
"Old Hughes, just say it directly, don't talk about those things, the kingdom will sell us, we will definitely buy it!" Huaiya interrupted old Hughes with a smile.
"Yeah yeah!"
"Old Hughes, hurry up!"
"I can't wait!"
...
As soon as Huai Ya spoke, someone behind him began to agree.
"Interrupt again, I will go to your house tomorrow to sit and let your father interrupt your legs!" Old Hughes glanced at Wiya and said faintly.
"Uh...hehe!" Huaiya seemed to be caught in her neck, and she could only laugh a few times.
Huaiya’s father was also a businessman, he happened to be of the same generation as Hughes, and the relationship between Hughes and him was pretty good. Until now, Hughes often visits his house!
Huaiya can be said that Hughes grew up when he was young, so he dare to interrupt him!
"Hahaha..."
Huaiya’s dry laugh immediately caused a roar of laughter. Everyone knows that although Huaiya is doing a good business, he is most afraid of his father, and he was even taught by his father two months ago!
"What a laugh!" Huaiya looked at the laughing people around and said angrily.
"Okay, let's get back to business!" Old Hughes spoke, and suddenly everyone was quiet.
"See these things, this is what the kingdom wants to sell you!" Old Hughes pointed to the various steam production lines next to the factory and said.
"What is this?" Crewe asked, which was also the confusion of all the people present.
"Papa!" Old Hughes did not answer, but clapped his palms.
Suddenly, a group of craftsmen walked out of the factory and skillfully activated various steam facilities.
"Boom!"
The production line of was completely started.
"Kakkaka!"
In the sound of the machine's operation, and the craftsmen's operation, the steam spinning machine soon produced a piece of cloth.
Huaiya can’t wait to check out this piece of cloth~www.novelhall.com~ He is in the cloth industry. If there is such a machine, the efficiency can't be increased by many times!
"Good, good!" Wiya said happily, the quality of this piece of fabric, hand feel, etc. are all top-notch, and the speed is so fast!
However, Crewe's face turned a little ugly. He asked old Hughes: "Is these things the kingdom is going to sell us?"
"Well!" Old Hughes nodded.
"But..." Crewe stopped talking.
Old Hughes knows what he wants to say, it is nothing more than the use of these things, which will cause excess production, excess manpower and so on.
"I know what you want to say. After using these things, the Kingdom will purchase the things you produce in the future, at your cost price plus a layer of pure profit!" Old Houston paused.
"Of course, the kingdom of raw materials will help you solve it and sell it to you at cost!"
"Really?" Crewe asked incredulously.
Although it seems that there are not many layers, this is the price after removing various costs, so as long as they are produced, they will definitely make money!
"Really!" Old Hughes nodded.
"But what does the kingdom want so much for?" Crewe couldn't help asking.
Although it is very comfortable to have the Kingdom to make money easily, but if the Kingdom loses money, he will be a little bit sorry!
"Don't worry, the kingdom will definitely make money, and you can earn more than you!" Old Hughes smiled affirmatively.
"That's good, that's good!" Crewe nodded comfortably.
With the guarantee of old Hughes, all the factory owners who came here booked a lot of steam equipment, ready to go back and have a big fight!
