Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 905: It’s ok to have fun, but forget about the relationship
Singh chuckled and explained, "Stark, you don't know that we only gave 1.2 bottles of the 10 bottles of Aquarius wine to the highest-ranking local high priest.

Within a week, people from Osari and several surrounding states started approaching us, asking for 1 or 2 bottles.

However, the other party bought so much at one time and also asked us not to sell it to other people in their state in the future.

Now we only have 3,000 bottles of Baoping wine left, and we will not come to you for more supplies.

Once more priests know the benefits of Aquarius wine, we will have enough confidence to sell even 3 bottles in a short period of time.

However, as the market is saturated, it is basically impossible to ship such large quantities this year.

But we are still confident that we can sell 30,000 to 40,000 bottles every year.”

Chu Xiangqian calculated silently in his mind that 750 bottles would be 2100 million pounds, equivalent to 1.2 million US dollars, or million Hong Kong dollars.

This money is really easy to make, and there is basically no cost.

Moreover, Chu Xiangqian had no scruples at all when it came to plundering the wealth of India.

After Singh finished speaking, he chuckled again and whispered to Chu Xiangqian, "I heard that the local high priest used hundreds of bottles at one time during the initiation ceremony a few days ago.

After the ceremony, all the priests and monks reached a new level of support for the high priest.

I believe that this kind of sacrificial activity will be held at least once a month in the future.

It’s just that the scale of this sacrificial activity is a bit larger. I heard that some temples are looking for more holy relics.

Then, I'll take you out to play?"

Chu Xiangqian shook his head without even thinking about it. The so-called Indian Saint Ni was actually a temple concubine.

Usually he has to accompany the monks in dual cultivation. When believers come to his house, those who donate more money can ask Shengni to accompany them in meditation.

He was not short of money, and Linda and the others had found him a dozen beautiful maids, which he had not yet enjoyed.

Why go looking for these poor girls?

Singh didn't care when he saw Chu Xiangqian refused. He knew that the two sisters, especially Alyssa, had been looking for beautiful maids in their hometown and keeping them in the manor.

So it was normal for Chu Xiangqian to refuse.

He continued with a smile, "It's fine if you don't want to go, but you know, those temples don't have many pounds, and many priests plan to trade with us in gold."

Chu Xiangqian became interested as soon as he heard it. Although tiger bone wine is of great value, the most important thing is how to get customers to consume it in large quantities.

Not to mention using gold instead of pounds for settlement, even if they wanted to pay with minerals, timber and other goods, Chu Xiangqian would agree without hesitation.

He even wanted to pay with gold in order to plunder the gold hidden by the people of India.

Not only does gold have huge potential for appreciation, it is also safe and portable, and there is no need to worry about paying taxes or defaulting on payments.

More importantly, if you make friends with the priests of Osharibon, when you encounter troubles in purchasing land and investing in the future, with their help, many problems can be easily solved.

In a few years, he would become a super landlord in Osaribond.

There is no need to worry that the locals will unite to boycott once the land is acquired.

And what I have contributed may be just dozens or hundreds of bottles of tiger bone wine as a return gift.
-
After figuring this out, Chu Xiangqian agreed to the second deal without hesitation.

However, this time he used the excuse that the stock of tiger bone wine was running low and that he needed some time to complete the deal.

Singh and others immediately became anxious.

For them, tiger bone wine means more than just making £150 for every bottle sold.

Twelve agents, each with a share of 12 bottles, would make a net profit of £1.

This made much more money than the 500 acres of sugarcane plantation that was previously traded to Chu Xiangqian.

As long as they make good friends with Chu Xiangqian, they can earn this money every year, and Chu Xiangqian is the big money sponsor in their hearts.

He is someone worth trying every possible means to win over and please.

More importantly, if tiger bone wine is favored by the priests, the status of his family can be greatly improved in a short period of time through the high priests of Osari State and several surrounding states.

This not only means more benefits, but also means a leap-forward improvement in the family's social status in a short period of time.

As soon as Chu Xiangqian said that the production of tiger bone wine was not enough, Singh and others became anxious.

He hurriedly said to Chu Xiangqian, "Stark, as long as you guarantee the supply of Aquarius wine this time, we promise to help you get more land suitable for growing sugarcane within a month.

Moreover, those lands, like the 6,000 acres this time, are all around the city of Puri.

Also, didn’t you say that Puri’s geographical location and golden beaches are very suitable for developing a tourism economy?
As long as you help us this time, we will give you a piece of land in Puri. When the tourism industry develops in the future, you will definitely understand how valuable that piece of land is with your vision. "

Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but curl his lips after hearing this. In the future, Puri City will indeed be one of the most famous tourist destinations in India.

But in the 1960s, only a few thousand foreigners came here every year to dive and surf.

Even if each person spends $1, the output value is only a few million dollars.

It also snatches market share from dozens of hotels of all sizes in Puri, with an annual profit of at most a few hundred thousand dollars.

For these local businessmen, this amount of money is not small, but for Chu Xiangqian, it would be better to sell a few hundred more bottles of tiger bone wine.

However, if all the sugarcane fields were in Puri City, it would be quite attractive to Chu Xiangqian.
-
Although Osari State is also one of the sugarcane producing areas, its planting area is relatively much smaller than that of the southern states of India.

The sugarcane and sugar produced basically meet the local demand for sugar in Osari State.

Fortunately, the northern part of Osari State is mountainous, the central part is hilly, and the planting area is relatively concentrated in the east.

As early as the 4th and 5th centuries BC, coastal ports were very prosperous.

At that time, the Sachabas, the seafaring merchants of Osari, sailed to Java, Sumatra, Borneo and Bali for trade activities.

Given India's poor transportation network, the closer the sugarcane fields are to large coastal cities, the easier it is to export.

This also saves Elisa, who is in charge of these sugarcane groves, and Liya and Lina, who are responsible for assisting Elisa, from running around to take care of these sugarcane groves.

He promised Singh and others that he would send another batch of tiger bone wine within half a month.

Chu Xiangqian also successfully obtained the second batch of 6,000 acres of sugarcane plantations.

After completing the relevant contracts and obtaining the title deed.

Chu Xiangqian originally wanted to take Linda, Alyssa and the bodyguard to drive around and take a look at the 1.2 acres of sugarcane plantation that he had acquired in two transactions.

But before they set off, Lamar Salma, who had first proposed exchanging 500 acres of sugarcane forest for tiger bone wine, came to them.

Invite him to visit Sarma.

Chu Xiangqian guessed without thinking that this guy probably wanted to expel the Hajak family.

Marry his sister to gain greater benefits. Chu Xiangqian naturally would not rush to agree, but he also invited Lamar to go and see the 1.2 acres of sugarcane forest.

I spent a few days taking Linda and Alyssa to travel and take a general look at the place.

When they stood on a hill and looked at a 2-acre sugarcane forest, Linda and Alyssa looked at it for a while, and suddenly they understood something and looked at each other.

Then they looked at Lamar who was explaining to Chu Xiangqian, and the two sisters immediately realized that this guy had deliberately brought them here.

Linda walked to Chu Xiangqian, put her arm around him, pointed to a river in the distance and said, “Alyssa and I just recognized that the large area of ​​land in the river valley on the other side of this sugarcane forest should belong to the Lamar family.”

Lamar already knew it and couldn't hide it from Linda and Alyssa.

He just smiled and nodded at her words.

Linda curled her lips and suddenly said, "If we can buy them all, we can connect most of our sugarcane forests as much as possible.

And at least 4,000 acres more land to grow more sugar cane."

Chu Xiangqian knew that this was Linda looking for trouble with Lamar. He looked at Lamar with a smile and saw that the other party was not angry at all.

Instead, he smiled and said, "Stark, if you have this idea, you can go to my house and talk to my father. By the way, let me also do my part as a good host."

Chu Xiangqian thought about it for a few seconds and then nodded in agreement.

After Linda and Alyssa thought about it, surprisingly, not only were they not angry, but they smiled and agreed.

Not only Chu Xiangqian was surprised, but Lamar was also frowning, wondering what the daughters of the Hajak family were planning.

However, as long as Chu Xiangqian went to his home, he would achieve his original goal.

So Lamar not only laughed quickly, but also took the initiative to invite Linda and Alyssa to accompany Chu Xiangqian to visit.

Then everyone started talking about sugarcane fields and sugar processing plants.

Chu Xiangqian was thinking in his heart that although the per capita sugar consumption in this era was ten or even dozens of times less than that of people decades later.

However, most people do not have the future consumption capacity. The large-scale production of sucrose or processed white sugar in a short period of time will cause the price to plummet.

However, this is a good method to defeat sugar competitors in Southeast Asia.

Anyway, what he paid for was just tiger bone wine, and the cost of tiger bone wine was just the Bamboo Leaf Green Wine produced in China, the Tiger Bone Yangrong Pills he prepared, and a lot of tiger bones.

This is extremely low cost for myself.

Moreover, this kind of wine is a consumable. 2.4 bottles a year are not enough to supply the whole of India. Now it seems that it is not enough to supply Osari State and several surrounding states.

They don’t even need it, they keep buying land to grow sugarcane.

After a year or two of trading, Singh, Ramal and 12 others could no longer easily buy the land around Puri as before.

As the amount of gold in the hands of the priests of the temples in the surrounding states became less and less each year, they would inevitably ask for barter.

After all, no matter how rich the temples in India are or how much gold they store, they cannot withstand years of consumption.

Moreover, exchanging gold for wine, although seemingly fair, is actually more exploitative than using pounds to purchase tiger bone wine.

In a few years, not to mention Singh and his people, even the priests in the temple will understand that exchanging gold for tiger bone wine is not a long-term business.

As long as Singh and the temple priests agreed, they would increase the planting of sugarcane.

And sugarcane can be made into more than just sugar: it can also be made into wine and vinegar.

About 40% of the world's alcohol is produced from sugar cane.

Once the price of sugar drops, Chu Xiangqian can brew sugarcane into rum and sell it to the dwarves in Middle-earth in exchange for their gold.

Or simply sell sugar to the dwarves, elves, and human nobles of Middle-earth.

Even in the long run, the cost of large-scale exports is far lower than the food produced in Middle-earth itself, and it can be given to dwarves and elves to increase their fertility rates.

It's good for yourself.

In recent years, the dwarves and elves in the North have indeed lived much better than before.

With abundant material resources, the birth rate is naturally much higher than before.

So although Chu Xiangqian does not stay in Stromgarde for a long time every year, both the dwarves and the elves sometimes seem to be more active and concerned about the legitimacy and power of his rule over Stromgarde than Chu Xiangqian himself.

Of course, Chu Xiangqian also understood that the premise of all this was that there was still a huge threat from orcs and orcs in the north.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for elves, dwarves, and humans to live in harmony.

Since it was decided to buy the land in Xiaohetao, Chu Xiangqian and Lamar parted ways.

While Linda and Alyssa were preparing gifts, they were worried that the sisters would regret it.

However, the two sisters didn't care at all whether they would be seduced by the women of the Salma family.

Alyssa lay in his arms and smiled and said, “My dear, you are so smart, you should know that it’s okay to play.

But if you marry the daughter of the Salma family, the children born to you by the Salma and Hajak families in the future will not be a help to you, but a trouble that will distract you a lot of energy. "

Chu Xiangqian understood what Alyssa meant as soon as he heard it. The children she and Linda gave birth to might have brothers fighting with each other in the future.

As for the children born to them by the two families of Salma and Hajak, they should be thankful if they can just maintain superficial harmony, let alone brotherly love.

Chu Xiangqian sighed, thinking that Alyssa was not as naive as she looked.

He hugged the girl and kissed her.

Now he couldn't help but be dragged into a friendly match by Linda's four sisters.

Three days later, Chu Xiangqian wanted to take Linda and Alyssa to Salma's house.

But the two girls were very relieved and told him to go alone, saying that he was not feeling well.

Tru shrugged forward.

During this meeting, although he was indeed interested in several young and beautiful girls from the Salma family, he was always polite and kept a certain distance.

This puzzled Ramal Sarma and his father Himan Sarma.

Chu Xiangqian's gaze towards his daughters could not be faked, but the other party was obviously a well-known beauty lover, and he never revealed anything during the banquet and the tour in the manor.

This made Lamar and his son feel that Chu Xiangqian was indeed rich. He was willing to pay 2% higher than the market price and promised to give the Salma family 100 more bottles of tiger bone wine every year in private in the future to buy more than acres of land in the valley.

At the same time, he felt regretful that Chu Xiangqian did not like his girl and that he was unable to further improve his relationship with Chu Xiangqian.
