The super lord of the island

Chapter 305 304. Continuous shipments, breaking the monopoly

Victoria harbour

In the berthing area of ​​the Crystal Chamber of Commerce cargo ship, the Redstone loaded with food slowly docked. Captain Paley didn't even wait for the ship to stabilize before jumping off the pier and heading to the Chamber of Commerce branch set up at the pier.

It happened that Grump was imparting business experience to his daughter.

"This price list is the retail prices of various commodities compiled this month. The essence of the chamber of commerce is to resell goods and earn the difference. How to grasp the difference between the purchase price and the retail price is very important.

From Jialan's side, I heard that he is good at management. In just two years, he has made the territory prosperous from scratch. He must have a lot of resources. You need to pay more attention to this aspect and ignore it.

Moreover, the market in the Amethyst Islands is now completely out of control. No matter what kind of goods it is, as long as we control the source of goods, we can break the monopoly of foreign chambers of commerce! "

After these two days of Grump's hands-on teachings, Tinis gradually understood the dilemma faced by her family.

Under the cover of the nest, there is no complete egg.

As a member of the family and one of the vested interest groups, Tinis has a natural sense of mission. This has nothing to do with personal feelings, but is brought about by status and attitude.

So even if her mother came to her bedroom in the middle of the night and taught her the techniques to please a man, and even if her father asked her to blow Jialan's bed pillow, she could only agree with a blushing face.

"We can't delay it any longer. Several old guys in the family are watching my actions. If I don't come up with something, not to mention clearing Jialan's name, even my position as the new president of the Chamber of Commerce will not be guaranteed."

Originally, Grump was just one of several high-level decision-makers within the Chamber of Commerce. However, due to the sluggish current situation, the Chamber of Commerce has no profit to make, and many senior executives have given up on this piece of cake.

So Grump got the position of president of the Chamber of Commerce from Richard with just a few light words of assurance.

Of course, if he can't produce any performance after taking office, Richard can still push him out, and he won't even be able to keep the position he held before taking office.

"You can take a boat to Sunless Island in two days."

"Um…"

Just when Tinis nodded in agreement, Captain Paley walked in.

"Why are you back so soon? Didn't I tell you to come back and forth once a week?"

Grump's face darkened. The people under him had been disobeying orders as soon as he took office as president. If Pelli didn't give a perfect explanation, he would let Pelli leave immediately.

"Listen to me, President, it's Mr. Jialan...er, the young master loaded [-] tons of finely ground whole wheat flour on the Red Stone, saying it was the first batch of goods for the Chamber of Commerce!"

“Eighty tons of finely ground whole wheat flour!”

Grump was taken aback for a moment, then immediately reacted. He checked the cargo list and found the column for finely ground whole wheat flour.

"The retail price of finely ground whole wheat flour in Lungozli City is 80 to 90 copper per kilogram, and this product is only available in the store of the Gilis Chamber of Commerce. For 85 tons of goods, based on the average selling price of 680 copper per kilogram, the total value is [-] gold.”

The price that a small boatload of grain can fetch is already an exaggeration.

And the important point is not how much you earn, but breaking the monopoly trade of foreign chambers of commerce. Eighty tons is enough to be placed in the Crystal Chamber of Commerce store in Lungozli City for a period of time.

"Very good! Send people to unload the goods immediately and use carriages to disperse them to shops in the city for sale."

"Okay, President, what about the price?"

"Set a minimum market price of 80 coppers per kilogram. The Chamber of Commerce will take a share of 5 coppers per kilogram. The rest will be given to Baron Garan, Tinis. You will be responsible for this. From now on, you will be responsible for all goods coming from Sunless Island. Handle it and leave the specific work to the people below."

In just a few words, Grump arranged the whereabouts of the goods and the distribution of benefits, and the proportion of the share taken was only 6.25%, which was very low compared with other chambers of commerce. "By the way, Perry! Once the cargo is unloaded, we will return to Sunless Island immediately to see if there is any other cargo."

"Yes."

Perry nodded and immediately went out to find someone to unload the goods.

"Father, our Amethyst Islands produce wheat, right? Why doesn't the Chamber of Commerce even have any inventory?"

Tinis thought for a while and was very confused.

"Haha, there is indeed wheat output, but the planting ratio is not high. Moreover, the family implements a manor planting model. The tax paid by the manor owner every year is currency, and the wheat flows into the market for free trade, and the manor owner is responsible for the revenue.

In previous years, the family transported cane sugar for export to other sea areas. Not only could they earn money from the cane sugar, but they could also trade it back at low prices and replenish a large amount of grain into the local market, meeting the needs of residents and making additional money for the family at the same time.

Therefore, under normal conditions, the price of coarsely ground whole wheat flour is at most 30 copper per kilogram, and even the price of finely ground whole wheat flour cannot exceed 40 copper. But now, the price of grain has doubled.

If it weren't for the manor growers who keep [-]% of the harvest for themselves every autumn, I'm afraid the Amethyst Islands would have been starved to death. "

"The damn Red Coral Family, if they hadn't blocked the sea area, we wouldn't have ended up like this."

After hearing his daughter's complaint, Grump shook his head and said nothing more. Unfortunately, the amount of food was still too small and could only supply one area of ​​Lungozli City.

In his estimation, the finely ground whole wheat flour listed for sale at the lowest retail price in the market will probably be snapped up by price-sensitive low-income civilians within three days.

Three days later, the time came to the last two days of the end of May.

With Tinis's hope, the Red Stone headed to Sunless Island returned, fully loaded with the exact same [-] tons of finely ground whole wheat flour.

In addition, Captain Paley also brought another news.

"President, Miss Tinis, Master Jialan told us to send a larger ship to Aurora Town to harvest 100 acres of potato fields, and [-] tons of fresh potatoes can be exported."

"Great!"

Tinis is very excited. She has been busy taking care of the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce these days. Seeing that the residents can buy cheaper food, she feels quite a sense of accomplishment.

In terms of filling the stomach, potatoes are a higher quality food than wheat, and the price is also quite low.

In the representative city of Lungozli, fresh potatoes sell for between 25 and 30 copper per kilogram, which is more than half cheaper than the same amount of whole wheat flour.

"I thought that Sunless Island was full of old forests and rich in monsters, but I didn't expect that the food output was so high. It seems that the boy has reclaimed a lot of forest land."

Grump found Jialan more and more pleasing to his eyes.

"Isn't there a cargo ship called the Blackstone with a draft of [-] tons in the dock? It's all releasing ashes, Perry."

"President, please give your orders."

Captain Paley responded quickly. As an experienced old sailor, he was planning to retire at the Crystal Chamber of Commerce. Who knew he could still use his remaining energy in his old age.

"Pick a few crew members, form a team together with the Red Stone personnel, and reactivate the Black Stone. Tinis, you can go with us."

"It's father..."
