Chapter 680 United Chamber of Commerce
"What is this?" Margaery asked curiously, "Is it fresh fruit wine?"
"If it's just fruit wine, it's not as popular as perfume," Nibelung shook his head. update the fastest
"That's not necessarily the case," Gamol looked at the glass bottle with great interest, "Leaving aside what's in the bottle, this unique container alone is worth several gold dragons."
"Is it a new product from the Royal Capital Alchemy Association?" Marlan also echoed, "I've never seen such a big crystal glass bottle before."
"Appearance is not important, the key lies in the product itself," Roland was a little dumbfounded for a while, he didn't expect these merchants to be interested in glass bottles first. As long as the colorless glass has mastered the formula, it is a low-cost mass product, but he has not dumped glass containers alone. The reason is that the current glass output of Neverwinter City is all used by chemical laboratories, perfume factories and beverage factories. .
"It's called Chaos Drink, just like its name, chaotic and elusive, every sip is a unique enjoyment." He cleared his throat, pretending to be mysterious, "I bet you have never tasted a similar taste , If you don’t believe it, try it and you will know.”
The three bottles of drinks were carefully selected by Roland from Evelyn's drink library. Not only did they taste different, but two of them were also specially processed. It is the first carbonated drink in the world.
And the result was just as he expected, just took a sip, and wonderful expressions appeared on the faces of the five businessmen.
"How on earth is this made?" Aitiel smacked his lips. "Compared to this, those fruit wines have no taste at all."
"Look at this glass of green apple juice, still steaming... God, is it breathing?"
"Apple? It can't be so sweet even with honey!"
The businessmen expressed their opinions one after another, and at the same time, they raised their glasses without stopping. They drank one after another until the three bottles were empty.
"Hi..." Jia Moore licked his lips, "Your Majesty, your... Chaos drink... is really amazing!"
"If you sell it as a commodity, do you think there will be a market?"
"Of course!" the Crescent Bay businessman said without hesitation, "Considering the difference in personal taste, the popularity of the three drinks may be slightly different, but they are definitely rare wines! I bet, after tasting it, The high-grade fruit wine from Chenxi is probably going to be lost."
"You are honest," Roland couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth. If a general merchant wants to buy goods, most of them will pick some flaws to lower the price. Such straightforward compliments are really rare.
"I dare not deceive His Majesty, nor do I want to deceive my own tongue." Gamol paused for a moment, "It's just that I don't understand one thing."
"Tell me."
"Why did you give it such a weird name?" He picked up the chilled empty bottle, which still had a thin layer of hoarfrost on it, "For example, this... can be called a deep-sea ice spring, if In the summer, I can guarantee that it will appear at every banquet."
"As for that bottle of green drink with a mouth-numbing mouth, I think it can be called fish roe nectar. To be honest, the sour and numb feeling as if countless small fish broke out of their eggs and kept hitting their tongues is really memorable." Ireland added.
"I think so too," Margaret laughed. "Although the word Chaos sounds very novel, it can't highlight their completely different characteristics. If they are named separately, they will surely sell better.
Roland said with a regretful expression, "Unfortunately, as I said before, each sip of these drinks is a unique enjoyment. In fact, these three bottles are the last in stock."
"You mean...they can't be brewed anymore?"
"That's right, I can't reveal the manufacturing process of Chaos Drink to you, but the final result is always changing. If I have to say that they have something in common, it's that they all taste good. That's why I named it Chaos , no matter what kind of flavor it is, always take one less sip.”
Everyone gasped in unison, everyone saw the incredible in each other's eyes. Rare things are more expensive, this kind of drink of excellent quality and irreproducible can definitely bring a storm to the fjords... and even the four kingdoms.
"Your Majesty, please entrust it to me as an agent," Gamol was the first to speak, "The fleet of Crescent Moon Bay is all over the coasts of the four countries, and only we can bring you the most lucrative returns."
"Hasn't the center of maritime trade in Crescent Bay always been the Dawn Kingdom? When did the Eternal Winter Trade Route open up?" Shallow Water City Chamber of Commerce said.
"The merchant ships going to Wolfheart and Eternal Winter are obviously the most on Sunset Island. You are deceiving Your Majesty." Ai Tiye followed closely.
Roland stretched out his hand and interrupted the dispute among the three, "Regarding this matter, let's establish a joint chamber of commerce."
"United... chamber of commerce?"
"That's right, in order to avoid the lower prices brought about by vicious competition, the participants sit down and discuss the areas they are responsible for, while Neverwinter is only responsible for supplying the goods." He described the concept of regional agency as much as possible, "All of you There are business routes that have been in business for a long time, and there are sales towns that are familiar to each other, so that they can be divided according to their own advantages, so that they can sell goods quickly without competing with their peers. The final sales proceeds are divided according to the proportion stipulated in the contract. This way everyone who participates is guaranteed.”
The reason is very simple, and the businessmen here quickly understood, "It sounds good, but how to divide the specific area and share ratio? There is a huge cost difference between selling drinks in Yongdong and selling them in the fjords." .”
"Transportation cost is of course also a factor that needs to be considered, in addition to manpower consumption, sales price, and product output, etc... Generally speaking, in the case of limited supply, the agent with the highest cost will receive certain preferential treatment .Of course, the detailed terms need to be discussed step by step until all parties involved are satisfied.”
At first glance, it would seem that the total income will be reduced, but in fact, after excluding vicious competition and the three chambers of commerce's respective strengths, the profits will be much higher.
Due to the lack of sales channels, many products in Neverwinter are still only available in convenience markets for internal consumption. For Roland, these fjord merchants who make a fortune by reselling goods are the best channel providers. In the future, it is undoubtedly the most labor-saving way for him to provide the goods and then sell them to every corner of the mainland through these sea merchants.
"I am willing to join," Margaery was the first to express her support.
Seeing someone express their opinion, others also took the attitude of giving it a try.
"Don't worry, cooperation is always more powerful than going alone," Roland smiled. "As long as we work together, it will be a win-win situation for everyone." rw
