Chapter 280 Return to Hopelander
The sea water floats and sinks, and ships slowly rise and fall with the waves. On the coast under the flowing clouds and blue sky, the city embraces the sea like crescent moons, and sailboats dock in it, with long masts like forests.
On the main road from the harbor to the city are endless carriages, transporting various goods and raw materials back and forth, just like the main blood of the human body.
Hoplane, this commercial city is more prosperous than before. After no longer infighting and not being clamped by Yuberre, it gradually became the absolute center of New Velgar, where goods from all over the inland areas of Snowy, and then shipped to the Southern Islands or to the East. Anyway, there are many choices, which are more free than before.
Now the most prosperous area in the city is also vaguely divided into three circles, one is the headquarters of the Carites Chamber of Commerce in the center of the city, one is the New Velga Commercial Federation in the east of the city, and the other is the Helis family in the old-fashioned Chamber of Commerce in the west of the city.
Following the gray and white stone brick street in the center, we walked forward. A complex surrounded by white high walls appeared in our eyes. The tiles and tops of the pavilions and towers here were purple, and the walls were also painted with clean white lime, which looked elegant and clear.
Going past the slightly lively front yard and building, there is a pavilion building on the backyard of the Chamber of Commerce.
There are long tables in the big restaurant, but now there is only one girl next to the dining table.
"Sister Chelsea, don't you have to be so generous, right?"
Lacey looked at the various delicacies placed on the table with white cloth and felt that she would definitely not finish it. Chelsea hadn't been wasted before.
"Miss just choose what you like to eat. You can come back one day. Maybe one day you will leave. How can you get wronged and eat what you don't like?" Chelsea stood next to the girl and said seriously.
"Okay, but I really can't eat much. Let the maids cover the rest with the lids, and I won't touch it."
The girl chose three more favorites, and the rest were brought down by the maids. The only ones left in the huge restaurant were the young lady and the maid.
"How is Chelsea sister doing well recently?" The girl raised her head and looked at the maid next to her.
"Thank you for your concern, it's not bad at the moment." Chelsea pushed down his glasses, his figure dignified and straight, giving people a meticulous feeling.
Lacey looked at the captain maid in front of her, but she was thinking about something more rude, that is, how old is the captain maid currently.
She should be of the same generation as Angus and Jaylink. It is said that they met each other in the bar that Angus often visited when he was young. At that time, she was still a waiter, and she should be around 20 years old, and then more than ten years later. In other words, the head maid should be around 40 years old.
However, looking at the face, it makes people feel that they are in their early 30s. It is probably because they have good maintenance and have certain extraordinary strength.
Let's not think about these foreign affairs for now. After Lacey finished her lunch, Chelsea asked several other maids to clean up the tabletops, and then brought teapots and cups to the young lady. In this way, the two slowly talked about the recent situation of the chamber of commerce.
"Thanks to the previous defeat and absorbing three big chambers of commerce, Carites' assets are currently nearly twice as large as before."
"Of course this is also closely related to the establishment of the New Verga, because the Kalites Chamber of Commerce currently dominates the alliance, and many things will be handled less resistance and smoother, and can seize many opportunities."
Chelsea introduces the grand occasion and development process of the Chamber of Commerce today.
The Nissos's wine market was once jointly divided by Carites and Helis's, and the Anemi's market position in perfume, flowers, jewelry, etc. was replaced by several new chambers of commerce. They belong to different sub-sectors, and the competition is not fierce at present.
The arms industry of the Tiscifene family is now managed by the Commercial Union and is jointly supervised by everyone. Its output and income will be used to maintain stability within the alliance and resist foreign enemies.
"What are our main sources of income for Caritas at present?" Lacey picked up the tea that was no longer hot and took a sip.
"At present, the shipbuilding industry is still the main focus, with wine, textile and other businesses following closely, and then the supermarket proposed by the young lady."
"According to your previous instructions, we only do the venue and storefronts, and the goods and goods are responsible by other chambers of commerce. In this way, the income ratio is not large."
"Yeah, that's the case, but our goal is to build this platform well, not a certain product." Lacey nodded.
"In the future, we must continue to develop logistics and stations in various places, so that the supermarkets of various branches can buy affordable and complete products, and the style must be unified."
"When you want to buy something, the first thing you think of is to come to our store to see it." The girl said her future goals.
Seeing that Chelsea didn't understand, the girl added: "Although this industry is not profitable at present, it is very stable, and its expanded transportation and logistics are the most important part."
"After this system is mature, we can transport raw materials from anywhere and ship the goods to various places. At the same time, we have the capital to negotiate prices with other suppliers."
"If other chambers of commerce saw it, will they follow suit?" Chelsea asked. There is no patent in this era.
"It's very difficult to learn from us," Lacey said playfully.
"First of all, it is a type of goods. It is not easy to join forces with many other chambers of commerce, and we also have countermeasures. Secondly, there are large costs in the early stage. It would be fine if the market is blank, but with our precedent, the other party needs to invest more if they want to seize the market from us, they have to change the original people's consumption habits, ensure that there is enough profit to recover in the future, and be wary of our continued competition, etc. "
Maybe he became a doctor after a long illness. The more he suffered, the more he studied it every day and understood it deeply. The girl couldn't help but think of it like this.
Even if it wasn't her, if she hadn't been to another young man in the new century, she would probably have come up with these ideas. It's nothing more, I've experienced too much. The history of life's development is the history of making money in those giant companies.
Monopoly and mastering platforms and channels are always the most powerful and profitable way. This has nothing to do with good or evil, it is just the law of development of things.
The real difference between good and bad is whether you really provide a trustworthy and worthwhile product. At the same time, where does such a large amount of wealth finally come back to? This is the fundamental question.
In the early stages of industrialization, the launch of projects was a huge mouthful of gold. The girl had to plan in advance to accumulate more capital to cope with all kinds of storms.
