Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"It's definitely a good time, now it's almost good, don't believe it!" Adoris stood up and took a few steps to prove that he said it was worthwhile.

Klotok Katax smiled and said: "Big Brother, you said to me that it is useless, the key is to let the father and mother agree."

Adoris felt a little frustrated. He knew that his last bad performance in the battle made Davers and Clithista feel worried, so he had to ask his brother for help: "Clotto, parents are The most painful of you, you have to help me, ask the parents, let me participate in this trip..."

Although Klotok Katex is four years younger than Adoris, he hasn’t been in adulthood for a long time, but in the past two years, he has been taken by Daves and taught personally. His political touch is much stronger than Adoris. It is very clear: unless Adoris is seriously injured, it is impossible for his father not to take him out. Otherwise, he will give some people a false impression that Adoris took advantage of his father’s relationship and deliberately “injured the wounded”. Not participating in such an important war will have a great impact on the future development of Adoris.

But Klotok Katax said as a difficult saying: "Big brother, you know the father's temper..."

"Clotto, you must help me! As long as I can convince my father to let me follow the army to Latin, if you have anything to help me in the future, I will definitely help!" Adoris asked.

"That... well, I will give it a try." It is rare for Adoris, who always loves to teach himself as a big brother, to plead with himself. Klotok Katex has a very refreshing feeling in his heart.

..........................................

In the city of Turie, in Sotatus inherited from the residence of his father Kunogolata, there are more than 20 people gathered in the hall, they are well-known businessmen in the Turai area.

At the moment, everyone’s face is full of excitement, and their eyes are eagerly looking at Soestus sitting in the middle.

Someone can't wait to shout: "Sostatus, people are basically getting together, what are you waiting for? Tell us quickly, what good thing is to discuss with us?!"

"Yes, let's talk about it! Is it necessary to reward us for donating food for free?!" Another person shouted.

All the businessmen should be together.

Sostatus heard the words and looked at Tios on the left hand side.

Tios is one of the best businessmen in the Kingdom of Dionia. It has three iron-making workshops in the Lucania region, a copper-making workshop in Turai, two weapons workshops in Turui and Amendola, and weapons and iron shops throughout the city. Most of the excellent weapons and armor manufactured by the Ministry of Military Affairs and the vast number of civic soldiers, and he is also a specialized supplier of surgical instruments in the various hospitals of the Kingdom, and the daily irons produced by them are also popular among the public. In the iron casting of large public works, his family's works are also indispensable. Therefore, he has been repeatedly received and commended by King Davers, and he is also very close to the military and construction officials. He also frequently builds the kingdom. Public building donations.

He is not only highly prestigious among the kingdom merchants, but also highly respected among the people. Therefore, he has been elected as the speaker of the local council of Turui. But in fact, Tios himself is not very keen on politics. He is more interested in his career. He is keen on how to improve the furnace temperature, improve the iron making process, improve the quality of ironware, design more sharp and practical weapons, and build better defenses. Armor... He knows that in the Kingdom of Denia, which respects military and technology, as long as he maintains advanced technology, he will always be valued by the king and ministers. To this end, he not only hired a good smelter and founder at a high salary, but also donated several times to the Dionysian Academy, working with scholars to provide experimental funding and share technical patents.

So, in the face of Sostatus consulting, Tios shook his head and reached for a pose.

Sostatus had to turn his head and look at Dick Boris on the right hand side.

To put it bluntly, Dick Boris was the first businessman to come to Dionynia to do business, and the first businessman who decided to stay as a citizen. Dick Boris was enthusiastic and sociable, and many foreign businessmen were persuaded to come to Turui and eventually became Dionysian citizens, including of course Tios.

But in fact, Dick Boris was not a very strong businessman at first. He was an ordinary businessman who made pottery and sold pottery.

Pottery is a daily necessities widely used by the Mediterranean people. It is the most common handicraft in the Greek city-states. This is because most Greek city-states do not have fertile land and cannot produce rich food, while wine and olive oil become their specialty. By selling these goods in exchange for food, the container containing these two liquid goods will inevitably become the focus of another development of the city. Therefore, many Greek city-states have merchants who make pottery, but the most famous pottery is produced in Athens, using Ati The high-quality clay of the card, after a long period of exploration, the black pottery bottle with red decorative painting is not only of high quality, but also the bottle painting pattern is exquisite and creative, and has become the leader of this industry.

Followed by the black pottery made by Collins, and they also created the beautiful bottle painting on the pottery, and at the same time made the whole ceramic industry highly organized. The pottery they produced almost occupied the majority of the sales of Mediterranean pottery, until a hundred years later. It was defeated by the Athens ceramics industry that came from behind.

Dick Boris, who was born in Crete, had no technical advantage in pottery, but with his vision and determination, he moved his entire family when the Dionya League was just established and Turiyi was abandoning the new. The handicraft area of ​​Amendola Lara began to sell the cheap pottery he produced to the ordinary people of Diaonia who were rebuilding their homes, and gradually gained some fame.

Later, with the establishment of the kingdom, the expansion of the territory, the increase of the population, and the expansion of the market, his sales of pottery also exploded, and the low-interest loan of Christopher Bank also gave him a pottery workshop. Expand and upgrade the base. Not only did he build pottery workshops in places where there were high-quality pottery in the kingdom, but he also used high-paying digs to exquisite potters in Greece. At that time, the turbulent situation and frequent wars in Greece also provided a good place for his digging. Opportunity, since then the pottery he sold has begun to get involved in high-end products.

More importantly, Dick Boris improved his management and organization model of the ceramic industry and the entire process flow, of course, this is not his invention.

Let me talk about the management and organization mode of the handicraft industry. Before the establishment of Dionia, the Greek city-states were all one-by-one cities. The city-state merchants' industries were mostly concentrated in one city. Due to the small number of people and limited resources, even if the merchants had more financial resources, his industry It is also impossible to have a large scale. Of course, it is easier to manage. Even in the economically prosperous Athens, there is no large-scale workshop.

But in Dionia, such a kingdom that has a vast territory and a large population for the Greek world, and a large number of free people who are willing to settle here, provides a fertile ground for the establishment of large factories. The chain management model of Christopher Bank and Christoya Restaurant in various cities across the kingdom has given the Kingdom merchants great inspiration, so that they can break the conservative business thoughts that the industry was only fixed in one city. Therefore, we dare to carry out industrial layout in the vast area, and carry out effective management through the pyramid-based hierarchical responsibility system.

Let's talk about the fine division of labor in the process. The ceramics industry is considered to be a highly organized industry in the Greek handicraft industry, but it still cannot escape the tradition of family workshops, from digging clay, transporting clay, shaping, burning fire, burning pottery, painting screens, lettering... The potter is involved in most of the processes, which undoubtedly makes the pottery output inefficient. In order to make the weapons armor of Dionia quickly meet the needs of the army, Daves taught the weapons traders of Tios and other countries a method of fine division of the production process, which greatly increased the production of weapons. This method was quickly Absorbed by other kingdom merchants.

Dick Boris also of course has a precise division of his own pottery workshop ~www.readwn.com~ Each process has a special person responsible, so that the quality and output of pottery are greatly improved, and its price will be Correspondingly, the Dickpolis's pottery is more popular among the kingdoms and accounts for more than half of the domestic pottery sales. The other city-state pottery is completely incapable of being in the kingdom and Dickwave except for a few high-end pottery from Athens. Rees competes, he has become a veritable Daonian pottery businessman.

Of course, Dick Boris, like other industry traders in Turui, is busy busy with the industrial upgrade, but is also busy occupying the market of the expanding kingdom. The external sales are more dependent on Sostatus. The leading marketer, this is also the reason why Dickpolis, who has strong financial resources and a wide range of friends, is willing to let Sostatus be the president of the Turif Chamber of Commerce and to take the second place. Of course, the more important reason is Sostatus. The father of Kuno Golata is the confidant of King Davers. Even if he has passed away, Sostatus can still take advantage of his father’s shadow, from time to time to enter the palace and the Ministry of Commerce, to get some commercial information first, to the Chamber of Commerce. For some discounts, just like this one.

Therefore, Dick Boris smiled and said: "Soastus, you are welcome. You are the president, and this good thing is also obtained by you and everyone working together, of course, you have to announce it!" ()
