Jingming really kept his word, and three days later, he had the Blue Ocean Mall's trademark and the packaging of each cigarette box delivered.
Xu Kuang handed it over to the printing factory, but encountered an embarrassing problem again.
The trademark was too complex, and the quality of the paper used by the printing factory was so poor that it took less than half a minute to print and all the blobs on the paper were blurred.
Xu Kuang frowned slightly, but he quickly thought of a solution.
Who allowed him to have a system mall? He exchanged several papermaking techniques with great sadness, and once again squandered all the exchange points in his hand.
He selected a technology that was most suitable for current use and gave it to the paper mill.
This paper mill was originally established by Xu Kuang, because if you just rely on buying paper sold by merchants, the annual cost will be astronomical.
The problem of ink staining was solved and the factory resumed production.
…
At this moment, an uninvited guest came here.
He is the representative of the third son of Duke Goa.
It may be a bit confusing to say this. Duke Goa has many sons. The third son is responsible for making money for him and is quite trusted by him. And the person who came to Gladiolus City this time is the representative of the third son.
When the representative came here, he saw Jing Xi and Jing Ming, and his momentum suddenly weakened.
He quickly stepped forward and asked:
"I wonder why you two are here?".
Jing Ming and Jing Xi looked at each other, Jing Ming said:
"We have been business partners with Viscount Xu Kuang for many years. When he was still a baron, we communicated and traded with each other. This time we are here to win the tobacco franchise in the Zhengnan area. Deacon Qi Delin, I advise you to hurry up.
Let's take action to win the tobacco franchise in the southeast region, otherwise, we will be too slow."
Deacon Qidelin was stunned for a moment and asked:
“What is a Tobacco Franchise?”.
Jing Ming smiled and said:
"Except for the cigarettes sold independently by the mercenary union, the rest of the market is yours."
Zidelin asked:
"How many cigarettes did you buy on this trip?".
Jing Ming smiled and said:
"It's not much, just one million boxes. No matter how much it is, he won't be able to make it for the time being. Also, you can provide him with tobacco, and you can also exchange tobacco with him for cigarettes. Isn't this a good thing?
.”.
When Qi Delin heard this, his heart dropped. He didn't expect that Xu Kuang was so smart. Knowing that his business would be targeted sooner or later, he actually found another duke as a partner.
Qi Delin understood that he probably wouldn't be able to seize the tobacco business. Even if he could seize it by force and then cooperate with Blue Ocean Trading Company, it would not make much sense.
The market didn't give him that much time to get familiar with the system of operating cigarette production, and it didn't have that much time for him to intimidate Xu Kuang. He heard the meaning of Jing Ming's words. There seemed to be a mercenary chamber of commerce involved in this transaction. He
No matter how powerful Duke Goa is, he cannot offend the mercenary union, the largest group of professionals, so he can only swallow this sigh of relief.
Qi Delin forced out a smile and said to Jing Ming:
"Thank you Mr. Jing for informing me, I will go and get the tobacco franchise as soon as possible."
What Zidelin wants now is to gain as many advantages as possible in the battle for franchise rights.
Before coming, he had found out that Xu Kuang was well-liked by the king. As a viscount, he was treated like an earl. Now it seemed that Xu Kuang might be more troublesome than he thought.
Qi Delin sent in his invitation and met Xu Kuang.
He had a cordial exchange with Xu Kuang, but in the end he still failed to make any gains.
Before leaving, Xu Kuang also sold him some weapons.
Although he looked at those weapons with enthusiasm, he was not Jing Ming or Jing Xi. He did not have such great power to mobilize such huge funds to buy these weapons. He could only mention it to his third son.
After Xu Kuang sent Qi Delin away, he also laughed.
Once the most troublesome problem is solved, he will have more advantages next.
There are eight dukes in the empire, each guarding eight directions. The two dukes in the southwest and due south have been solved, leaving only the remaining six dukes. But this is a matter for the future, but dealing with these two dukes and the mercenary union
His cigarette business has already made him miserable.
Not to mention anything else, Wayne has made millions of gold coins from the tobacco business in the past few months. One can only imagine how crazy this business is.
Now a new problem has appeared in Xu Kuang. If this continues, the gold coins in his hand will accumulate more and more, but this is not what he wants. No matter how much money he has, it is just a pile of gold coins. What he wants is
Let Moguling develop rapidly.
He had no choice but to find the Marquis to buy someone else. Just as it happened, the ship transporting the 100,000 literate refugees was due to arrive today, more than three months later than the ship transporting the million refugees.
Although Xu Kuang deeply hates the business of buying and selling people, he cannot prohibit this matter based on his deep hatred alone, unless he can capture the kingdom, but this is not too realistic, so Xu Kuang just puts this matter on
Just thinking about it in my mind.
Groups of literate refugees in ragged clothes walked down. Among the 100,000 people who came all the way, except for more than a thousand who died of illness along the way, no one died of starvation. This shows how much the Marquis valued them.
Xu Kuang placed an order for another million illiterate refugees. The leader was ecstatic and started the return journey with the deposit.
This time, Xu Kuang, Zhuge Duan, Ryan, and Hathaway personally picked up the refugees and quickly dispersed the refugees to various places. Among the dozen or so people, there was a literate refugee, resolutely preventing them from getting together.
There was no civil uprising, and several people breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Kuang said to Hathaway:
"You may have to work hard during this period. People who are literate are better than those who are illiterate. Just pay attention to one thing. Give them on-the-job training quickly and let them start working as soon as possible. Wait until they get paid.
You can live a little more peacefully."
Hathaway nodded and said to Xu Kuang:
"I suggest giving them food in the first month, and then gold coins in the second month. What do you think?"
Xu Kuang was quite happy to hear Hathaway's suggestion.
Xu Kuang couldn't help but sigh after seeing Hathaway's recent policies.
This girl is so bold. In order to increase the fertility rate in Gladiolus City, she actually introduced a policy of giving one gold coin a month for each child. She also cooperated with the Ministry of Education to open many full-time kindergartens, which can make parents worry-free.
kind.
After a set of combination punches, the refugees were beaten to the point where they could not find their way around. The number of newborns in Moguling gradually began to increase, and many refugees were able to live and work in peace and contentment.
Xu Kuang said to Hathaway:
"You work very methodically and you are great.".
Hathaway just smiled and said to Xu Kuang:
"Xu Kuang, have you realized how powerful I am now?".
