Lord of the People: I rely on cheating for hegemony

Chapter 872 Status of Nandi Chamber of Commerce
Qu Mao was quite surprised when he learned that Yiping Inn had opened more than 1000 chain stores, and he was determined to further develop the tourism service industry, including hotels and catering businesses.

The 1000 Yiping inn chain alone can provide nearly 40% of the funds for the Yicheng Territory Intelligence Agency, which shows how much profit and value the tourism service industry creates.

Of course, Qu Mao's expectations for the Yicheng Territory's intelligence agency are definitely not to make profits. As an intelligence agency, it is naturally the Yicheng Territory's eyes looking at the main mainland and ears listening to the main mainland's dynamics. , Naturally, it has to be provided by intelligence agencies.

Without the information provided by the intelligence agency, Qu Mao would not even be able to decide who to fight on the main mainland at the end of the year.

On November 11th of the fourth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao still failed to leave the lord's hut of Yicheng territory, because Maffei Trani, the president of the Nandi Chamber of Commerce, led the merchant fleet back to the holy land of Yicheng territory, Maffei Tranidi Immediately came to Qu Mao to report on his work.

Qu Mao recalled that after conquering the Tassel Principality and the Six Marquis States on the main continent, Maffei Trani had been on the journey of personally leading the Nandi Chamber of Commerce's commercial fleet to open up new sea routes, rarely in Yicheng appeared within the territory, and even his sister Sophie Trani hadn't seen it a few times.

Seeing Maffei Trani walking into the lord's hut, Qu Mao's first reaction was surprise, so he asked: "Maffei, how long has it been since you appeared in the territory?
I haven't seen you for a long time, and I really miss you. "

Maffei Trani bowed his hands and said: "Thank you, sir, for your concern. Since the territory took down the Tassel Principality and the six major kingdoms on the main continent, the trade between the White Harbor of the Gilhou Kingdom and the Yancheng Port of the Tassel Principality opened by the Nandi Chamber of Commerce All the lines are handed over to Mr. Zheng Sanbao of the North Island Chamber of Commerce.

The remaining trade routes of the Nandi Chamber of Commerce are only the Black Harbor and Viking Harbor of the Mughal Empire, and the Silla Port on the eastern coast. Therefore, the subordinates have to personally lead the Nandi Chamber of Commerce's trade fleet to explore new areas. route. "

Qu Mao said with a smile: "Maffei, you have been busy for several months, thank you for your hard work, how is the result of the new route opening?"

Maffei Trani smiled and said: "My lord, in terms of opening up new routes, my subordinates have achieved fruitful results, and the route of Nandi Chamber of Commerce has also achieved considerable development.

Now Nandi Chamber of Commerce's footprints not only cover most of the ports in the Eastern Continent, but even go to Zhongtian Port in the Central Continent, which is a super-large commercial port belonging to the Zhongtian Empire.

The East Continent arrived at Viking Harbor in the north, and the fleet under the southeast corner went to the end of the East Sea, which is the port of the anti-Yi Town Alliance, a God-Chosen player lord's force-Fengyue Harbor, and has formed a stable trade partnerships. "

Qu Mao thought for a while and continued to ask: "Maffei, you just emphasized that the Nandi Chamber of Commerce has only made achievements in the opening of new air routes. Is there any other situation? Or do you think the current Nandi Chamber of Commerce Is it successful to open up so many routes?"

Maffei Trani nodded, and said: "Yes, my lord, I really think that the current Nandi Chamber of Commerce has only achieved a little success in opening up new sea routes, and does not think that the Nandi Chamber of Commerce has achieved success as a whole.

Since the increase in production efficiency in the Holy Land cannot match the rapid population expansion, a large number of living materials, living tools, and production tools need to be purchased from different ports and transported back to the Holy Land.The materials that the Holy Land relies on for export are nothing more than grain, animal skins, bacon, and sea salt, and these are not particularly lucrative materials.

On the whole, the profit of Nandi Chamber of Commerce has not been improved due to the increase of air routes. The only thing that is gratifying is that it has made up for the shortcoming of the shortage of materials in the Holy Land.

Since the Nandi Chamber of Commerce purchases materials from other ports of influence, basically they will not be sold at a particularly high price, and most of them are sold to residents of the Holy Land at a low price. It's not bad to barely make ends meet.

Moreover, now the North Island Chamber of Commerce can also purchase daily necessities, living tools, production tools and other goods from Hong Kong, Baigang, and Yantian Port on the main mainland. Due to the closer shipping routes, their costs are lower, and the Nandi Chamber of Commerce is getting more and more difficult. . "

Qu Mao nodded. The products of the Holy Land in the territory of Yicheng are not rich. It was developed on a deserted and uninhabited island. The specialty of the Liusu Principality is sea salt, so Qu Mao has no way to deal with the difficulties encountered by the Nandi Chamber of Commerce. solve.

In this regard, Qu Mao can only continue to communicate with Maffei Trani about some other things about the Nandi Chamber of Commerce.

After all, Maffei Trani thinks that the shortcoming of Nandi Chamber of Commerce's profit is that the commodity provided by Yicheng Territory has low profit value, insufficient added value, and not strong scarcity, so it does not occupy any advantage in foreign trade.

The Holy Land of Yicheng Territory has developed rapidly from a barren land to its current scale. If you want some high value-added luxury goods, you may not be able to do it in the short term.

Qu Mao had no choice but to comfort Maffei Trani. With the continuous development of Yicheng territory's industrialization, many products can be mass-produced in the future. will also be lowered.

Since the value is low, let's take the quantity and win by quantity.

After thinking about it, Maffei Trani seemed to have only the path Qu Mao said. Even though he knew that Qu Mao was just comforting himself, Maffei Trani was still very grateful.

Qu Mao said: "Ma Fei, be patient, there may be difficulties in a short period of time, but if the Nandi Chamber of Commerce is not doing well, you can ask Su Yan to provide some gold coins from the Yicheng territory account to support the Nandi Chamber of Commerce.

With the advancement of industrialization, the mass production of products in the Holy Land of Yicheng Territory will speed up. During this process, the Tassel Principality on the main continent, the six major princes, and our newly won territories will definitely find other advantageous products. .

It's really not good, you can continue to sell blank rune stones. Now the income from selling blank rune stones does not need to supplement the account of Yicheng territory, and can completely supplement the working capital of Nandi Chamber of Commerce. "

Maffei Trani hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Thank you for your support, but the Nandi Chamber of Commerce should be able to persevere. Your Excellency must want to support it. You can support some new merchant ships of the Nandi Chamber of Commerce.

My lord, I haven't returned to the Holy Land for a long time, I hope to go to the magic village to meet my sister, Sophie Trani, please allow me. "

Qu Mao said: "I will rest for a while when I come back. It just so happens that Sophie hasn't gone to Wucheng for training. You should be able to see her when you go to the Demon Village."
