Chapter 202:Detailed planning

The contract is a ceiling-level agreement, the kind that even the most unscrupulous debtors wouldn't dare to default on.

According to the agreement, Diana invested in 2000 square meters of land, owning a 10% stake and receiving annual dividends, but without any management rights.

Charlotte holds 90% of the shares and has absolute control.

Charlotte got off the carriage and took a stroll around the piece of land, eventually choosing the area closest to the crevice in the rock wall.

In the future, the exhaust pipes can be directly directed into the crevice, solving the problem of waste gas emissions.

"Besides this barren land, these two blocks actually belong to me personally. How do you think I should develop this area to make it lively?" Diana looked at Charlotte and asked.

Charlotte surveyed the desolate streets ahead, with dilapidated houses everywhere, and only a few scavengers as the lowest-level residents. There was even a weak black cat lying on a pile of rocks in the distance.

However, this was an entire district, and the fact that no one was living here meant that it had unlimited potential.

But regardless of what it was transformed into, the prerequisite for everything was to have enough population.

Of course, if the Abyss can really be transformed into a little Calva, then it is not impossible for this area to develop into a prosperous commercial street in the future.

"Let's start by transforming the Abyss and then consider how to make this place lively," Charlotte looked at Diana and said, "If the Abyss gradually becomes lively, whether you want to build a commercial street or an industrial zone, there will be unlimited possibilities."

"You're right. That's exactly what I need to do in the coming period," Diana smiled slightly and stared at Charlotte, "You grew up in Calva since you were young. Do you have any good suggestions on how to transform the Abyss?"

"Well..." Charlotte pondered for a moment and nodded, "I do have some small suggestions."

"Tell me, I'm listening," Diana nodded.

Charlotte said, "Firstly, what you're doing now is establishing an Abyss Magic Protection Barrier, which is a crucial step in providing a sense of security and reliability for all Abyss residents. This will encourage more people to choose the Abyss as a refuge.

Secondly, improve the public safety in the Abyss, so that it becomes a city with a strong sense of security.

Calva not only serves as a great model in this regard.

The safer a city is, the more prosperous its commerce will be and the more it will attract people to settle down.

Lastly, explore and develop advantageous industries in the Abyss. Hunting is a primitive and low-end industry with unstable profits and seasonal limitations.

"You really need to study and research it yourself. After all, my knowledge of the Abyss is still too limited, and I haven't even done well with what's in front of me."

The population of the Abyss is about 200,000, and it is not an easy task to establish an industry that can feed 200,000 people in a short period of time.

"But I can give you some suggestions. With the current scale of the Abyss, the industry doesn't need to be too large. Perhaps exploring specialized fields and creating a certain cluster effect would be more competitive and easier to get ahead," Charlotte added.

"Okay, I'll go back and study it." Diana nodded thoughtfully.

Charlotte's words gave her some ideas and directions to think about.

The Harriman family owns two small textile factories, although not large in scale, the fabrics produced are sold directly to the upscale clothiers in Calva.

If production can be expanded, more employees can be recruited and more job opportunities can be provided.

Diana left first, leaving Buddy behind to coordinate with Charlotte on the construction team and the subsequent establishment of the workshop.

With Buddy as a comprehensive assistant, Charlotte was relieved of a lot of trouble. Including negotiating prices with the construction team, backed by the Harriman family, he obtained the lowest price and the highest quality assurance.

Charlotte paid a deposit of 1 gold coins.

After returning, he still needed to draw up the specific layout and drawings of the workshop and let the construction team build according to them.

The first phase of the workshop, covering 500 square meters, he planned to make it modular and expandable.

So, if expansion is needed in the future, there would be no need to demolish the existing workshop, but simply build the second and third phases.

Of course, this would only be possible if the potions sell well.

Perhaps there wouldn't be a need for a factory at all.

According to the estimate of the contractor, it would cost at least 25 gold coins to build a 500-square-meter workshop, not including the furnaces and equipment needed for large-scale potion refining.

Charlotte realized that the 18 gold coins he had was definitely not enough, so he needed to work hard to earn money and fill this gap.

After the construction drawings were completed, it would take another five to six days for the construction team to complete the construction.

After the acceptance inspection, the final payment would be made.
