"The situation in our chamber of commerce is a little bad at the moment," Skam said directly.

"A little bad?" Ye Junwen asked.

"Yes, now the liabilities of the Chamber of Commerce have reached a peak."

Skam immediately told Ye Junwen about the situation. The main reason was the civil war. I said before that the recent revenue and expenditure of the Taken Chamber of Commerce was a deficit, and after Ye Junwen took over, he did not give them any funds for development, but just gave them some fresh goods for them to sell.

However, in the current situation, the first batch of goods was snatched away by the Eighth Prince. Even though they agreed to return it, the goods were still in the main city, and the main city has been beaten and cannot be entered at the moment. The second batch of goods is still in the hands of Skam, which is really impossible to get out. Their audience targets are nobles and big merchants. Now these people are all paying attention to the civil war. No one has time to take care of seasonings and perfume luxury goods, so they cannot get out at all.

If you can't deliver the goods, of course you don't have money to come in, and the money you're out has increased sharply. The main reason is Ye Junwen, who asked Skam to produce pet beauty pills, which of course requires investment. The main investment is to find an alchemist. Because there are a lot of required amounts, Skam also contacted the Alchemist Association. They sent a large number of people there. Although the pills are not technical and can be made by alchemist apprentices, they need a lot of people, so the expenses are of course very high.

Not to mention other raw materials, of course, they all require money. So the current situation is that the Tuken Chamber of Commerce has been spending all the time and has no income, which has led to the Chamber of Commerce's debt reaching its peak, and basically it is impossible to borrow money now.

However, Ye Junwen also brings benefits. This is mainly because Ye Junwen's status has risen now and he is already the duke of the empire. This status has made the Taken Chamber of Commerce borrow more money, which is to rely on support. So the Taken Chamber of Commerce is still developing recently, otherwise the Chamber of Commerce would probably have gone bankrupt until now.

Having said that, the current situation is not optimistic. Although Ye Junwen's status has received more loans, it is now at its limit. Because the current situation of the civil war is unclear, what about Ye Junwen, what about after the war? What if the eldest prince wins, what will happen to the duke who takes the lead in fighting against him? If Ye Junwen is killed after the war, who will pay back their money? So although some people are willing to invest, there are still many people who are unwilling to borrow it, and they are indeed unable to borrow it at present.

"In other words, if our things cannot be sold, we will go bankrupt?" Ye Junwen said.

"Yes, sir," said Skam, "the subordinate is guilty."

"It's not your fault." Ye Junwen nodded, "When I selected the product, I didn't consider that there would be a civil war. I'd better think about how to deal with it."

"From the current situation, even if the civil war is over, it will take some time for our products to take action," Skam said.

Ye Junwen nodded. No matter whether the victory is there after the civil war, it will be severely damaged. Their goods are not essentials, and it will be more troublesome if they want to sell them. After thinking about it, Ye Junwen said: "Can you trade with other two countries?"

Yes, there are three empires on the human race. If they can’t sell it here, Ye Junwen wonders if he can trade it with people from the other two countries.

"If you trade with other two countries at this time, it may cause trouble," Skam said. "The most important thing is that our chamber of commerce has no experience in trading with chambers of commerce in other countries before..."

Ye Junwen nodded. It would indeed cause suspicion when trading with people from other countries, not to mention that he was the duke who had just been promoted. However, Ye Junwen was not very worried about this. After thinking about it, Ye Junwen said: "If you contact the chamber of commerce of other countries, you can try it out, so don't worry about any trouble."

"Yes." Although Skam felt something was wrong, since Ye Junwen said so, of course he could only obey the order.

"But far water cannot save the near fire." Ye Junwen said, "Even if we contact the chamber of commerce in other countries, we are still in danger of bankruptcy in the current situation, right?"

"Yes, sir." Skam nodded, "Even if we contact the chambers of commerce in other countries, it will take some time to discuss. Our current situation is indeed very dangerous."

"Then we can only rely on the Tang Dynasty merchants, right?" Ye Junwen said, "If we can find products that can be sold now, our funds can be recovered immediately."

"This is a good idea, sir." Skam also thought so. This is the more reliable method now.

"So...what is it sold?" Ye Junwen asked.

"If it's best, of course it's still arms." Skam said, "But it seems that the Tang Dynasty cannot provide it. If anything else is food and medicine..."

It is true that the most scarce thing during the war is of course these things, but the problem is that food and grass are really not easy to sell. Ye Junwen transported it this time, which is enough for more than 100,000 people to eat for 6 days. How much money can he make? Besides, the rich people are not the rich people, but the civilians who have no food to eat, and they not only have no food to eat, but they have no money. It is impossible to make money from them. What Ye Junwen needs is to make money from the army, to put it simply, to make money from the treasury.

"That's all, it's medicine. If that pharmacist looks at it, maybe penicillin or something... But..." Ye Junwen already wanted to cooperate with the previous pharmacist to launch some new medicines and the like. However, the problem now is that as far as we see, the medicines are concerned, it's not very good to sell here. The main situation is that the lives of the soldiers here are not valuable. These important generals, non-commissioned officers, etc. can just let the pharmacist or priest treat the disease. The soldiers consume resources here. If they really can't save them, they won't save them. Even if there is really medicine, they won't buy them to treat the soldiers. This is a waste. So Ye Junwen thinks that even if there is medicine, it may not be sold for much money.

"Martial artery..." At this time, Ye Junwen suddenly thought about it. He thought it was impossible to sell such things before, because he was born in China after all, and this thing is absolutely forbidden in China and it is impossible to buy it. However, if you can't buy it in China, you can buy it outside. Ye Junwen just went out to buy it himself. What's more, Ye Junwen just happened to have such a way now.

This path was actually what he found recently, which is the international security company that he had done business with them. Yes, the other party’s security company sent someone to the yellow wax medicines before. Seeing the effect, he also conducted an experiment himself, which was of course amazing. The effect of this thing is really scary. Ordinary minor injuries can be completely cured in a few seconds. Is there any better battlefield medicine than this?

Their security company has a lot of business, including protecting important tasks or locations in some dangerous areas, so personnel losses are common. With this magical tool, it can certainly reduce a lot of personnel losses, so of course they are willing to buy it. As for the price, Lin Yinbao's price is very exaggerated, but the other party doesn't care.

Let’s not talk about the yellow wax medicine, or the arms approach. Although this international security company cannot approve guns in China, its troops abroad will of course use guns. In that kind of dangerous areas, you must have guns, otherwise you can’t let your subordinates go up and use knives to fight with people in close combat.

Although they did not take the initiative to talk about this to Ye Junwen, Ye Junwen felt that they should have a way out in this regard, and now there is a transaction relationship between the two sides, so they should be able to help each other and so on. So Ye Junwen should be able to get arms now.

If he could get some arms, it would be subversive to appear in the areas where cold weapons were fighting here. Ye Junwen felt that not only the emperor here, but also the people from other forces who were selling their money would come to them to buy this thing. Just like the current situation, the main city is surrounded, and if each of the imperial guards under the emperor had a gun on his hand, why would he panic? Then the emperor wouldn't buy it?

Thinking of this, Ye Junwen decided to build a bullet for arms. Judging from the current situation, it should be more reliable than food, medicine, etc.

"Well, when it comes to arms, the Tang Dynasty merchants talked about this to me a few days ago. It seems that there are such a batch of things on their side recently." Ye Junwen said.

"Really? What kind of weapon? Sabre? Or spear? Sharp?" Skam asked immediately. There are few weapons everywhere now and there is no place to purchase goods, so it is really easy to sell.

"It's not a sword or something." Ye Junwen said, "The weapons of the Tang Dynasty are all high-end goods."

"Oh? That's... special weapons? For example, the kind of muskets used by dwarves?" Skam asked.

"Murder? Is there such a thing here?" Ye Junwen was a little stunned. However, after asking a little, he realized that the musket was just a primitive flintlock rifle and other things. Only dwarfs' fine blacksmiths can produce it. The output is very small and it is not exported. There are people on the human side, but they are just used as decorations or collectibles, and there is not enough quantity to equip the army.

"It's not that kind of low-level toy." Ye Junwen waved his hand after hearing this and said, "It seems that you want to let you primitive people see the weapons of the Tang Dynasty."
