From pioneer lord to king

Chapter 150 Make Friends 【4K】

The development of things is often unexpected. Originally, Ryan was not very optimistic about the sales of rice wine, because it tastes sweet, but there is not much wine taste.

The result is a drink that unexpectedly finds favor among women and teens who view it as a drink rather than a drink.

Sweetness is a luxury in this world, and rice wine with a sweet taste is quite a bargain compared to the more expensive green sugar.

Looking at the data fed back below, Ryan said that he had made a mistake, or that he had no business acumen. Isn't this stuff packaged as a "honey water" with a unique flavor?

For those noble ladies and noble ladies, they will not enjoy cheap rice wine, but are willing to pay more for "honey water".

What they drink is not the drink itself, but "worth" and status!

It was not too late to fix the situation, and Ryan immediately launched a clearer and more beautifully packaged rice wine, named "Honey Nest Love", and the price was as high as 300 silver deles per bottle, which was just over [-]ml. My heart is as black as coal!

A man as thin as a bamboo pole walked on the spacious and flat concrete road, his eyes looked left and right, and he clicked his tongue from time to time.

His name was Zog, and he was an itinerant merchant who took and sold everything.With a pair of sharp eyes and a clever mouth, he is always able to sell the products perfectly. It has been No. 15 years since he left home at the age of 20 to work hard.

From being poor at the beginning to now owning a huge caravan, he is like a cheater. There is no big businessman in the entire southern border who does not know Zog's name, and even many nobles take the initiative to befriend him.

What many people don't know is that Zog was born in a small village in Karnaling. He hasn't been back for several years. The last time he came back was to build a new grave for his parents.

In the past, Karna was poor and weak, and in Zog's eyes, there was no hope at all, so he left and planned to never come back.

It's just that he broke his promise a long time ago, and the first time he broke his promise was when he came back to repair his parents' grave.And the second time, which is now, he overheard from a businessman that the origin of the green sugar was in Karna.

This surprised him greatly. Who doesn't know the name of Qingtang in the southern border?Who is not envious?

In the beginning, it was Viscount Chells of the Marlton family who sold them, opening up the market in the entire southern region, earning a lot of money, and causing countless people to suffer from pink eye disease.

Many businessmen or aristocrats who boasted of some strength expressed their intention to cooperate openly and secretly, but the other party clearly stated that the green sugar was not produced by them, and the output could not be guaranteed.

Originally they thought this was their excuse, but the Brandon family actually started selling green sugar later on, and they also said the same thing, which made everyone believe it.

Zog is a capable person. He has always wanted to touch this business, but he has no way to do it. He didn't realize that it was produced in his hometown until he accidentally heard someone mention it.

Ever since, he returned to Karna after disposing of a batch of goods.

It was only this time that he found out that the village he lived in before had been demolished and turned into a piece of white land, which made Zog, who wanted to revisit his old place, dumbfounded.

Later, he sent his subordinates to inquire and found out that the lord had concentrated most of the villagers in the small villages in the small town. Now there are eight fully built small towns in Karna.

After extinguishing his thoughts of revisiting the old place, he thought about entering Doman City to have a look. Before he went far, he found some workers pouring unknown gray mud on the ground, and behind them was a wide and flat road, which was a A material never seen before.

After inquiring, I learned that the thing is called cement, and it is called the "sand magic" of the lord.He naturally scoffed at this, he is also someone who has seen the world, is there such a use for magic?
He secretly asked his subordinates to test the hardness of the cement road, which turned out to be similar to stone, which completely overturned Zog's cognition. It was obviously mud, but it actually had such strength after drying.

He suddenly felt that he had found a business opportunity, and he proposed to buy cement from the leader of the workers, but he was sternly rejected by the other party, saying that it was the lord's personal property, and they could not and dare not sell it privately.

When mentioning the lord, Zog had no choice but to give up, but he was a little more curious about the new lord.

Walking along the concrete road, he saw the newly built town and the newly opened farmland, and he found that it was the same as what he remembered only by name.

The people here are much richer than a few decades ago, and laughter can still be heard in the fields. What's even more rare is that he didn't see any smelly refugees, which was unimaginable before.

After going around for a while, he came to Dorman City, and saw that the soldiers guarding the city were full of energy and majestic, no worse than those guards of the viscounty castle.

After entering the city, the changes have become even greater. How can it still look like the precarious frontier town?This made him have a strong curiosity about Ryan, the new lord.

As he walked, a place caught his attention. It looked like a shop, surrounded by crowds in front of it, and it was very lively.

Relying on his keen business sense, Zog quickly realized that there might be business opportunities there. He hurried over and found that it was a large shop with clay pots and bottles on the counter.

He immediately became excited. He was very familiar with that clay pot, which was used to store green sugar. The news seemed to be solid, and this was the origin of green sugar!

After finally squeezing to the front, a somewhat rough man rudely pushed away the crowd in front. The people were about to denounce, but shut up instantly after seeing the other party's clothes clearly.

The man was wearing tattered leather armor, his face was fierce, and there seemed to be a faint smell of blood on his body. He was a mercenary.

He slapped the counter and shouted, "Two bottles of baijiu, the strongest!"

Zog was stunned for a moment, he drank a lot of wine, what kind of wine is this liquor?Brandy?
The owner of the shop is a middle-aged man, but he showed no awe in the face of the stern-faced man. He reached out and took two half-foot-high bottles from the cabinet at the back, and said unhurriedly: "Two bottles of liquor, two Ten silver delores."

This price is really not cheap, even Zog was a little surprised, this price is not affordable.

The man also frowned, but he still took money out of his pocket and slapped it on the table. He picked up a bottle and took a big gulp. Zog could clearly see his face flushed to the base of his neck.

"Fresh, this baijiu is really a damn good thing." The big man roared with his face flushed, and then took the wine and walked away under the eyes of everyone in awe.

Zog licked his lips. He also took out the money and put it on the table. He asked for a bottle of white wine. He uncorked the bottle and smelled it. The aroma of the wine was intoxicating.

Following the man's example, he took a big gulp, the hot taste made him blush immediately, he felt a flame burning down his throat and into his stomach, and suddenly coughed violently, coughing up tears.

"Hahaha, another loser."

The people around laughed loudly when they saw this. They had seen too much liquor in the past few days. With so many people, there were very few who could take a sip like that big man.

At this moment, the boss handed a bowl of rice wine to Zog, who was still coughing. Stomach really relieved a lot.

After smacking the taste in his mouth, he looked at the boss and asked, "Excuse me?"

The boss laughed and said, "This is rice wine, also known as sweet wine, and this baijiu is made by the lord. Like baijiu, it is also very popular."

Zog glanced at the price of rice wine on the counter, and couldn't help but widen his eyes. The price is about the same as ale, but the taste and appearance are much better. Aren't these business opportunities?

Looking at the white wine in his hand, he said to the boss, "Please give me another bottle of this rice wine."

The boss grinned, this is what he wanted. There is always one you like, baijiu or rice wine, and seeing that the other party is not one who is short on money, he couldn't help but enthusiastically sell it: "Do you want this kind of rice wine, or honey with a better taste?" What about Nest Love?"

As he spoke, he took out a bottle of beautifully packaged wine and placed it in front of Zog.

Zog looked at the two wines with huge price differences, and without hesitation, he chose Honey Nest Love, a bottle of ten silver delores. That kind of rice wine with a few coppers in a bottle was really not worthy of his status. , even if I like its taste very much.

Back at the temporary residence, his curiosity towards Ryan had reached its peak. In a short period of time, Ryan had given him too many surprises. Whether it was wine or sugar, in his eyes, they were all very marketable commodities. Not to mention that magical cement.

Not long after, the steward of his caravan knocked on the door and came in with a mysterious expression. He said as if asking for credit, "What do you think this is?"

As he spoke, he carefully took out a few pieces of yellowed paper from the inner lining of his clothes and placed them in front of Zog.

Zog's eyes suddenly burst into light, he held it to test the feel, and tore off a corner to test the toughness, and blurted out: "Is this animal skin paper?"

"Hey, you're right, but the locals call it paper, and the price is more than half the price of animal skin paper." The manager danced and told everything he had heard.

Zog's eyes are getting brighter and brighter, full of radiance like two little suns, he has a feeling that he is really right this time!

After the steward left, he couldn't bear the excitement, so he immediately picked up the white wine and filled it up for himself, and then... he got drunk because of his greed...

It was already noon the next day when he woke up again, with a severe headache and dry mouth.Shaking his drowsy head, he said to himself: "The stamina of this baijiu is too strong, those people should like it."

After a little relief, he took the steward and brought gifts to Ryan's castle. He couldn't wait to meet the lord...

Barton was lying on the table bored, watching Ryan receive a skinny middle-aged man, he couldn't help asking curiously: "Why is he so skinny, is there no one to feed him?"

Listening to the voice in his head, Ryan couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth. Do you know his worth? The food is much better than you and me.

Let Barton find a cool place to stay by himself, he smiled and looked at Zog who was talking endlessly: "Mr Zog, I think I understand what you mean, I have to say that you have observed very carefully, and will Count the things I'm currently proud of.

You are a smart person and an expert in shopping malls, so I will not go around in circles with you. Since I have made these things, I will naturally sell them.

Whatever it is, it's pointless not to be profitable.So I want to know, what are your intentions and sincerity? "

Ryan's single-handed attack disrupted Zog's rhythm, but he quickly adjusted and said with a smile: "If possible, I hope I can get the agency rights for all products, you should know that I have this strength. Of course sincerity is also maximized.”

Ryan raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect the other party's appetite to be so big, and he wanted to catch them all.

"It's certainly not possible, IMHO, it's not smart for Khanna to bet on the same thing.

However, in view of your sincerity, I am willing to let you choose two products independently and give you enough favorable conditions. Ryan held up two fingers and gave Zog the right to choose.

He has always wanted to build Karnaland into a prosperous city like Horey City, and merchants are an indispensable part of it. Only when enough merchants are attracted, it will naturally prosper.

It's just that the location of the Karna collar is not good, and if you want to attract those businessmen, you must have your own characteristics, and these are the baits that Ryan is going to release.

Drinks, cement, green sugar, paper, and even armaments and trebuchets can be exported in the future.

Ryan is now backed by a large iron mine, and his waist is hardened. As long as the Hengdao shines on the battlefield, someone will naturally send an order.

Zog was in a dilemma immediately, but he was not an indecisive person either. After a simple balance, he made up his mind and said, "If this is the case, then I want to get the right to manage liquor and paper."

Ryan was a little surprised when he heard this. He had heard so much from him before, and he thought that the other party would choose two kinds of wine or a combination of sugar and cement.

"Of course it is possible, but I need to remind you that the current production of liquor is not much, but paper has accumulated to a certain extent."

"That's not a problem. My hometown is Karnaling. I haven't been back for a long time and I plan to live there for a while. I can wait." Zog smiled and waved his hands.

"This is really surprising, since you are also a citizen of Kanarland, then I think our cooperation will be very pleasant.

Please send someone to discuss the details of the next cooperation with my financial manager. I promise to give you the highest level of preferential prices, and I will definitely not let you down.

Moreover, I personally have a gift I want to give you. Ryan stood up, took out a beautiful box inlaid with gemstones from a side drawer, and handed it to him: "This is the first batch of perfume produced in Kana, called 'Purple Magic Firefly Dream'. "
