Renault put his elbow on the wooden table, supported his head with his palm, watched the quill pen automatically reach into the ink bottle, dipped in a little ink, then floated onto the white paper, and began to write slowly.
"Dear Angela, to a certain extent, you are right. I do neglect the role of high-level talents and overemphasize the power of magic weapons."
"Today, at the dock of the base Island, we met a" iron king crab "who accidentally climbed to the shore. The battle to kill the crab proved that after the combination of the extraordinary and the guns, the combat effectiveness has really undergone a qualitative change."
"This makes me start to think about a problem. Maybe we haven''t fully played the role of" awakeners ". At present, there are more than 50 awakeners in the island protection team who treat them as ordinary players, which seems to waste their individual strength..."
After considering the wording, Renault continued to write:
"I think we should invest more resources and cultivate more capable people. In addition, it seems that there are huge defects in the military industrial development route previously formulated, and it must be adjusted."
"I should not manufacture guns first, and then force the soldiers to adapt to it. I should do the opposite, that is, to take the soldiers as the core and customize the guns for the soldiers according to their individual strength."
"For example, to customize a set of equipment for ordinary soldiers, and to customize a set of stronger and better equipment for the awakened. As for the extraordinary, their equipment is more troublesome. The attributes of mastering the extraordinary power are different, and the requirements for the equipment are also different. They should be customized for them."
"For example, the heavy caliber air gun is more powerful than the 16 caliber air gun."
"From this point of view, the caliber of the heavy machine gun can be increased to more than 20 mm, and the power of this new type of heavy machine gun will be greater. I call it" magic machine gun. "
"I propose to set up a special research institute, namely the weapons research institute, to deploy a number of Rune magicians and start to design weapons and equipment for the capable."
"As for the director of the Institute, let Murphy take the post for the time being..."
Renault checked the letter and nodded with satisfaction.
Just as he was about to put the letter into the envelope, he suddenly remembered something. He could not help laughing a little. He controlled the quill pen and added a sentence:
"by the way, the taste of iron king crab is very good, especially the crab roe. In that crab, we found the crab roe with a total weight of more than 10 kg."
"Unfortunately, after freezing, the cell volume of crab roe will increase, and the cell wall will be cracked. Once thawed, the juice in the cell will leak away, and the taste will be greatly reduced. Otherwise, I will definitely bring you one."
Writing here, Renault reaches out his hand from the silver plate on the table, picks up a piece of crab cake and takes a beautiful bite. The dense, delicate and delicious taste suddenly erupts in his mouth.
Ah, as long as I find delicious food, I will think about Angela. She will be very moved when she knows
Renault sighed with pleasure, and without looking back, he said in a loud voice:
"Vivian, take this envelope well, and let ''Xinying'' take it back to Odin tomorrow..."
"By the way, go to the bathroom and prepare some bath water. Rub my back later..."

“…… Here comes the salted fish boat of Haichao chamber of Commerce... "
“…… Salted fish has arrived in Hong Kong Go and grab the salted fish.... "
When the merchant ship loaded with hundreds of tons of salted fish arrived at the port of Copernicus, the whole wharf was a sensation.
In front of wharf 16, which is exclusive to the Haichao chamber of Commerce, it is surrounded by a lot of people, but the crowd stays in the designated area, and no one dares to cross the line.
In particular, the transportation corridor on the wharf, that is, the area specially marked by the chamber of commerce with lime, is a passageway specially used by magic forklift, and no one is allowed to enter.
If any chamber of Commerce dares to do so, there will not be many people taking it seriously. However, the Haichao chamber of commerce is different. In Copernicus, it is an absolute privileged class.
Who can afford the chamber of Commerce crowned by the upanists?
Don''t you see that Duke Byron humbly presented pier 16 to Haichao chamber of Commerce for free?
The Duke even asked the newly established Port guard to send a team to maintain order for the chamber of Commerce. Who dares to make trouble here?
Ten days ago, the extremely dignified old port guard was reduced to ashes with a wave of his hand. All the civilians in the city were scared to pee. Which fool would dare to mess around here?
To put it bluntly, even if the sea tide chamber of Commerce killed people at the dock, the owner of the port, Duke Byron, did not dare to let go a fart. Even if his majesty knew about it, he would only regard it as non-existent.
A movable wooden bridge has just been put up on the deck. A uniformed employee of Haichao chamber of Commerce quickly arrives at the wharf through the bridge and walks in front of the crowd."Please be quiet. I''m Gullit, the delivery specialist of Haichao chamber of Commerce. I will be responsible for the delivery of this batch of salted fish..."
Gullit looked around and yelled.
"This merchant ship has carried 538 cases of salted fish, each of which is 500kg. As usual, please draw on the bill of lading. You can only recognize the order but not the person."
"In addition, it''s still the old rule that the goods are delivered on the spot in the wharf yard. After the transaction, our chamber of Commerce will not be responsible for it. Please be responsible for the transportation of the goods on your own."
"You can hire magic forklift from our chamber of Commerce for 2 silver coin boxes, or coolie on the wharf..."
Before he had finished his words, the crowd suddenly began to boil. Hundreds of hands were raised high, desperately waving the paper printed with general language, and shouting loudly.
"Mr. Gullit, I have five bills of lading. I want to take five cases of salted fish..."
"Mr. Gullit, I want to carry three cases..."
"Mr. Gullit, I want six cases..."
Looking at the chaotic scene, Gullit yelled angrily:
"all line up for me! Anyone who dares to jump the queue will be disqualified immediately... "
He turned his head to a group of guards standing next to him and said to the leader of the guard in a slightly commanding tone:
"Mr. Rijkaard, please keep order. Anyone who cuts in the line will drive him away directly!"
Rijkaard quickly gave a flattering smile on his face and replied with a bow:
"yes, Mr. Gullit, I''ll take care of it. It''s the Duke''s duty to serve the chamber of Commerce..."
He turned and waved to his men. A group of people rushed to the merchants like tigers and wolves. After a while, a long line appeared.
The merchants in the front row were all in high spirits, while those in the back were all in low spirits, because the quantity of goods was limited, and the bill of lading in the hands of all the people present added up to more than 1000 cases, which also meant that the people in the back were doomed to be empty handed and had to wait for the next batch of salted fish.
Gullit waved to the first merchant. The bearded merchant came over without hesitation, handed over a stack of bills of lading respectfully, and said:
"Dear Mr. Gullit, here are five bills of lading I bought."
Gullit glanced up at mustache, then took the bill of lading and checked it carefully. Then he opened a notepad full of numbers, found five numbers and crossed them out.
They are the same number as the length of the bill of lading. Once crossed out, it means that the bill of lading will be void immediately after use.
This is a primitive means of anti-counterfeiting.
Because each bill of lading has an independent number, if there is an unruly person making a false bill of lading, falsely claiming goods, at this time, either the number will be repeated, or simply can not find the number.
Whatever it is, the fool who dares to do so will bring disaster to himself.
Although this method is simple, but it is very effective, so far there has been no exception.
"There is no problem with the bill of lading. You can go to the freight yard over there and get five cases of goods with these five number plates." Gulit handed each other five exquisite metal plates, and then pointed to a large open space not far away, said faintly.
At this time, three magic forklifts are busy running on the transportation channel, transporting the unloaded boxes of goods to the freight yard.
Bearded bowed deeply and strode to the freight yard in high spirits.
The price of "wholesale" salted fish by Haichao chamber of commerce is only 10 tongnals per kilogram. The quality of these salted fish is so high that they are very popular with the common people. If they are sold to other areas, it is not a problem to sell 18 tongnals or even 20 tongnals.
He bought five cases of salted fish, a total of 2500 kg, which means that the gross profit will exceed two jinnals. For a small businessman like him, this is absolutely a huge profit.
As a businessman received the metal plate, the yard gradually became lively.
As for the salted fish trade, in fact, at the beginning, Goodall, the director general of the Department of Commerce, preferred to sell all the goods to one or two major chambers of Commerce for unified sale.
For the Haichao chamber of Commerce, this can save a lot of effort, so Goodall did the same. He selected two grain merchants and sold them all salted fish.
But it wasn''t long before Renault heard the news.
These two chambers of commerce actually started to resell. They called a large number of small businessmen to increase the purchase price by 5 tongnalkg and resell all the salted fish to small businessmen.
In other words, they only worked as information brokers once, did nothing and made a lot of money in vain.
How can Renault tolerate this?
Cao Cao, the wool has been collected by Mr. Lei?
Master Daren Qing worked hard to fish and bake fish, and he didn''t make as much money as you did?To NIMA!
Renault quit.
He called Goodall over and scolded him severely. He ordered Goodall to leave the big chamber of Commerce and sell salted fish to small merchants directly. He also blacklisted the two chambers of Commerce and never cooperated.
In order to improve the sales efficiency (quick money), Renault also came up with an idea - Bill of lading.
Haichao chamber of Commerce no longer sells salted fish in accordance with the conventional way of "one hand payment and one hand delivery", which introduces the concept of "futures" and directly sells "sales contract", that is, anonymous bill of lading.
The merchants buy the bill of lading, and then go to the wharf to pick up the goods by themselves. If the merchants don''t want to pick up the goods, they can also resell them to other merchants, or the Haichao chamber of commerce can recycle them at a 10% discount.
As for why it is not the original price recovery, Renault has a good reason: there are so many people under the master''s command and so much time is wasted. This is the management cost. Is it money?
Want to go whoring for nothing?
There''s no door.
In this way, in a short period of one week, with the signboard of upanist and the goodwill cultivated by the chamber of Commerce for a long time, the chamber of Commerce sold more than 8000 bills of lading, totaling more than 4000 guineas.
Converted into salted fish, it is more than 4000 tons of salted fish. The total population of several nearby cities can consume so much salted fish in at least one month. With the efficiency of the fishing fleet on the base Island, it will take more than half a month to complete the contract.
Everyone in the chamber of Commerce admires this brilliant way of playing.
I''m worthy of being Lord. I can easily earn so much money by just a stack of paper
Some people with a dark heart even can''t help thinking that if the chamber of Commerce supplies at an extremely slow speed, such as only 10 tons a week, and the merchants holding the bill of lading can''t get the salted fish, will they return the bill of lading?
Very likely!
If this happens, even if the refund rate is only 80%, the chamber of Commerce will still make 300 gold coins in vain.
Although 300 jinnair is not worth mentioning to the wealthy Haichao chamber of Commerce, it''s nothing more than picking up money, and it''s easier than robbing money.
What if the number of bills of lading increased 10 times to 80000, or 100 times to an amazing 800000?
How much profit will the chargeback bring at this time?
When 80000 sheets, the profit will be 3000 jinnals, and when 800000 sheets, the profit will be as high as 30000 jinnals, which is a number that no one can ignore.
How much money will the chamber of commerce make if it is a little more vicious, simply roll up the money and make 800000 bills of lading void?
400000 guineas!!
Just think about this astronomical number in your head, it is enough to make many people blush and their heart beat faster.
Of course, Renault is a kind-hearted, law-abiding good Lord, he would never do such a thing.
However, just this futures model, the "various possibilities" behind it make people sweat and fear.
In this regard, the consul lady commented: "this (bill of lading) is the devil''s idea. Only the most gifted mind can think of such an idea. It is a honey with endless temptation, and it is also an extremely dangerous poison. It can make people rich overnight, and it can also make people fall into hell in an instant."
"Nevertheless, I think it''s a wonderful idea. We should use it as much as possible and extend it to other fields at the right time."
As the supreme consul who controls the affairs of the territory, Angela can see at a glance that whoever controls it controls the wealth.
Wealth is power!
As Renault stands on the deck, he looks at all kinds of people on the wharf, watching a businessman excitedly complete the delivery of the bill of lading, and watching them carry away the wooden cases full of strong salted fish smell.
The world is prosperous, all for profit
At this time, Muse came over in a hurry and said in a low voice:
"under the crown, the Duke of Byron sent a message that his majesty intends to offer you a baron of Qianhu Kingdom and a corresponding fiefdom."
"Baron?" Renault was stunned. "In what name?"
"Canal!" Muse said with a smile, "you once suggested to the late Duke of ray hawk that a canal be built between the LEB River and the Nassau River to increase the water flow of the Nassau River to expand the area of Nassau wetland, so as to stop the black orcs."
"It is said that his majesty thinks that this is a great plan to save the Kingdom, and you should be rewarded. That''s why he plans to make you a baron."
Renault turned his lips and said sarcastically:
"four months ago, I proposed the canal plan. Before that, his majesty had been indifferent. I thought Qianhu kingdom was going to default, but now he thought of the reward..."
Moss nodded and said with a smile:
"Your Majesty should have wanted to be soft with you, so he sent a message to you through Duke Byron."As for the reason for the soft, the two people tacitly.
There is no doubt that the death of Prince elfalon completely frightened the king. With his butt, we all know that Renault can kill the prince, and of course he can.
On the other hand, "frost wing" Mussolini''s death, let the king deeply understand, the strength of the other party''s force, far more than the general upanists, they simply take each other no way.
In this case, the king had no choice but to compromise.
