The first thousand and seventy-fifth chapters are crazy to collect money
Downton's free trade zone can continue to open and become more and more prosperous, not just because he is the first to try it.
With the support of Downton, the tauren Barak is now one of the top business group bosses on the Sunset Prairie. His net worth ranks among the top 50 orc rich men, and he is still rising rapidly, and his influence has greatly increased.
Most orcs have a simple and honest character, and Barak is a clear representative of them. It is not that no one has offered a more generous price. His subordinates have tried to persuade him, and he has also hesitated, but in the end he refused with bloodshed in his heart, until the Lombard Alliance.
He was glad to join. Fortunately, he was not greedy, otherwise he would have lost Downton, a very powerful ally.
Especially as Downton's achievements continued to come out, Barak did not dare to have second thoughts.
With the expansion of his power, Barak can influence some of the orc chiefs. After many years of cooperation, Downton is destined to be the first choice. Rather than making money, they hope for safety and equality, so that they can put gold coins in their pockets.
Free trade zones in other countries offer lower tax rates. It’s not that there are no orc caravans who are greedy for petty gains to trade, but only half of them can come back. They are robbed, extorted, and discriminated against in endlessly, and every merchant who comes back
, will not say good things about those free trade zones.
In order to compete for business groups, the free trade zones used every possible means to slander and slander them in the lightest terms. Small-scale conflicts often broke out. Even the Frankfurt Army pretended to be businessmen from other countries and robbed those businessmen.
However, the businessmen prefer Downton because the free trade zone in Frankfurt is doing so well.
Here, as long as you are a businessman, whether you are an aboriginal or an orc, you will be treated equally and will not be mistreated or discriminated against. Even if you are given the middle finger or rolled your eyes, you can go to the Free Trade Hall to complain. If the evidence is conclusive, in addition to letting the other party
Apologize and you can get a substantial amount of compensation.
The indigenous people, who have been looked down upon by humans for hundreds of years, have tasted equality for the first time, and here they can feel a strong sense of security.
Although this is an area actually controlled by humans, more than 90% of the defenders and security forces in the area are ogres. The district leader is still a lowly green-skinned goblin, which will invisibly give the indigenous people a hint.
It is their territory, and the superiors will turn towards them.
This kind of situation will never happen in other free trade zones. Let alone the absence of indigenous soldiers, it is simply impossible for those human soldiers to talk down to the indigenous people. Even if the kings give repeated orders, it will not work, because the domestic strength is intertwined, unlike Delan
Kefu, with Downton as a dictator, no matter what he says, it will be carried out unconditionally.
This is what a thriving empire looks like.
Of course, Xia Luo's identity also played a huge role. Her appearance was exactly the same as that of the Harvest Goddess, so the hilly natives and orcs respected her as Wise Wolf, Great Prophet. She felt that she would be protected by trading here.
The goblin district chief cleverly cast a bronze statue of Charlotte and placed it in the central square. As long as the natives come, they will definitely make wishes. Now the wishing pools around it have been filled with gold coins. It is like paving a layer of
Gold carpet.
Downton led the war horse and followed the crowd.
Two teams of ogre guards wearing helmets and armor stood at the gate of the city, looking straight and motionless. Someone once observed them for a whole morning. They would maintain the same posture, even if they were bitten by a scorpion, they would not tolerate it.
With.
This kind of professional quality amazed the caravans and greatly increased their sense of security.
The entire Western Continent has a city gate tax, even the nine empires are exempted from it, but there is no such thing here, so although there is a constant flow of people, there is no congestion.
Just this change made the businessmen feel that they had taken advantage of Delankfurt, and they couldn't help but feel happy. In fact, the city entry tax had already been included in various commercial taxes.
The green goblins are one of the most proficient business races on this road. The venture capital companies they established once spread all over the planes and made countless loans.
Inheriting the genes of their ancestors, Abagon and his compatriots who were rescued from Lombardy did an outstanding job, and will virtually make you willing to spend every copper in your pocket.
"Sir, is this your first time in a trade zone? This is a topographic map with each area marked to facilitate your shopping and sightseeing!"
Ten bunny girls, wearing uniforms, were standing at the gate of the city handing out leaflets. No matter what race they were talking to, they greeted them with soft voices and smiling faces.
"How much?"
A human businessman will pay at will.
"It's free. If you need anything, you can go to the rest area marked on the drawing, where you can get help. If you get lost, you can ask the security team and they will take you there personally. Of course, all services are free."
The bunny girl smiled gracefully, bowed slightly, and explained carefully.
"I am Di Polo, I finally understand why the free trade zone in Frankfurt is making money. With just these few words from the bunny girl, you can achieve at least thousands of gold coins in business."
The human merchants looked at the regional map with a lot of emotions. Many merchants who came here for the first time nodded. Just this kind of home-like service will make people browse and come back.
“Here’s a tip for you!”
The human businessman took out a golden ticket and handed it to the bunny girl.
"Thank you for your generosity, but we have regulations and we cannot collect tips from adults. If you really want to give, you can put it in the donation box over there!"
The bunny girl stretched out her left hand to signal.
The human businessman turned around and saw a pavilion with a priest sitting inside. There was a long list of names written on red paper on the giant notice board next to it.
"This money will be donated to the Children's Welfare Home to help those orphans, and your name will also be left in the memory book!"
Bunny girl explained.
Businessmen are not stupid. If you look at the number on the red paper, you will know that it was written down because the amount of money paid was large. Therefore, for them who are vain, this small tip is a little hard to come by.
"At the end of every year, our Lord the Duke holds a charity banquet. As you know, he has a good relationship with His Highness Saint Lily, so the one hundred attendees are personally selected by His Highness by drawing lots, and they will also attend!"
Bunny girls are professionally trained and know how to empty the wallets of these businessmen.
"Holy Lily? Isn't it Her Highness the Saint?"
When the businessman heard the name, he immediately shuddered, "Will she attend that banquet in person?"
"Yes, Princess Sissi and Princess Elaine of Saint Laurent will basically attend the charity banquet!"
As soon as the bunny girl saw the merchant's expression, she knew that another transaction was completed.
"Well, if you donate more gold coins, will your chances of being selected increase?"
More than one businessman lowered his voice and asked. It doesn't matter to other races, but to humans, if there is no special opportunity, they will never expect to see Her Royal Highness, let alone a Bavarian Rose.
"Sorry, it won't get bigger!"
The bunny girl shook her head.
"Really? What a pity."
The businessmen shook their heads, and then donated money one after another, which was several times more than what they had prepared before. As for the authenticity, they did not doubt it. You must know that there is now another saint in Downton's Scandal Woman.
"These goblins are really good at making money. As soon as the merchants entered the city, they spent a lot of money without doing anything."
The Cheap God complained, "I'm thinking, the money won't fall into your pocket, right?"
"Of course not. That's charity. Besides, didn't you see that there is a priest supervising it?"
Downton defended.
"Hey, with Abagong's character, he will definitely charge a part of the management fee. This is considered a normal expense, but you have the final say on the specific amount!"
Homer hit the nail on the head and found the trick.
Downton shrugged his shoulders. He would not admit it. In fact, Abagon was indeed doing this. As for the clergymen involved, they had already been familiarized with him and became one of his own.
There are so many tourists and it’s so noisy.
“Candied fruits pickled with wild honey, super cheap!”
Downton saw a hobbit dwarf selling dried fruits in half-baked human language. He couldn't help but shook his head. "You haven't bathed in the past few years. It would be strange if someone bought it." But he was soon slapped in the face.
Already.
"How to sell it?"
A human businessman walked over and started bargaining. Soon, the two reached a deal.
"I'm Di Polo, it turns out this guy is planning to take it back and sell it to others, no wonder he feels dirty!"
Downton suddenly remembered the goods he saw in the royal capital with the labels of Dragon Hills specialties, and felt the urge to retching.
"Brother, the walnuts are gone!"
There were too many people, and if one was not careful, Xiao Hutao disappeared, which almost made Elaine cry.
"Don't worry, you can't lose it."
Downton is not afraid. If the little loli doesn't bully others, she will be a high-profile person.
The free trade zone is divided into five areas, living area, groceries area, slave area, local goods area, and equipment area, each with different functions. In the central area, a small auction is held every week.
The commission amounted to millions of gold coins.
"Go and see the slave quarters!"
Downton sighed. He didn't want to engage in such an inhumane trade, but the private slave trade was in full swing. Abagon suggested that instead of letting it go or forcibly stopping it, it would be better to bring it under his banner. At least it could restrain the slave owners and let those slaves
Live a little better.
Stepping into the neighborhood, Downton found that there were more people here, especially those stalls selling female slaves, which were almost crowded with people.
"Don't miss it if you pass by. This is the Albert bunny girl, the best race to serve as a maid. Look at these breasts, how firm and plump they are, and these furry ears. Don't you want to touch them? What? The butt is too big
Xiao? Please, this is a virgin, it hasn’t been developed yet!”
A fat slave trader pulled a bunny girl, introduced the goods with drool, slapped her breasts and butt, and even lifted up her thin clothes for the guests to admire.
"Are there scum among the orcs?"
Downton pouted, his face full of disgust, because that businessman turned out to be a bear. (To be continued...)
